Chapter 980 Give the Freshmen a Shock
End of March 2002.
Xie Qiao and Xu Lin returned to the dormitory one after the other. They hadn't seen each other for a long time and they were talking about the interesting things that happened during the summer vacation.
They were chatting animatedly, and Wang Ying was still following behind her with a driver carrying a suitcase, just like last year, looking like a real lady.
"Oh, miss, I miss you so much."
Wang Ying stretched out her hand to separate Xu Lin, with a look of disgust on her face: "Stay away from me, you are covered in sweat."
"It's been such a long time since we last met, and yet you treat me like this, Miss? It's so sad." Xu Lin made a heartbroken expression.
However, what he got was a pair of white eyes from Wang Ying, she didn't buy it at all.
"Miss, where did you go this summer?"
While sorting out her personal belongings, Wang Ying casually said, "I went to England and wanted to get a feel for the environment there first."
"You are going abroad?" Xu Lin and Xie Qiao were both stunned.
Wang Ying nodded gently: "Yes, I will go to the UK for postgraduate studies after graduating from university."
"Well, then we won't be able to see you again in the future."
"After graduation, won't you all go your separate ways for work? Do you still expect to be together all day like you are now?"
Wang Ying's words made the atmosphere in the dormitory particularly depressing.
Xu Lin took out a lunch box from his bag, and as soon as he opened it, an enticing aroma hit him.
"Qiao Qiao, Miss, come and try the food I brought from home."
Before Xu Lin could finish his words, Wang Ying took two steps back with a vigilant look on her face and said in a firm tone.
"I'd rather die than eat anything you bring from home."
Xie Qiao also nodded in agreement. On the first day of school last year, they ate the mushrooms brought by Xu Lin and almost set the entire dormitory on fire. They were laughed at for most of the semester. At one point, they only dared to enter and leave the dormitory wearing masks in the middle of summer.
The lesson is too painful. It is not worth it just for the sake of satisfying your appetite.
Xu Lin quickly explained: "What I brought this time was not mushrooms, but beef."
"Then I won't eat it either."
"I won't eat either."
Xu Lin said angrily: "If you don't want to eat it, forget it. I will finish it myself."
"Oh, it would be nice if Qianxi was here, she would definitely like it."
Xie Qiao suddenly remembered something when he heard this: "By the way, do you know what Qianxi is doing this summer vacation?"
"Isn't it just that he went home with Lao Qin? This is not news." Xu Lin said indifferently.
Wang Ying's face changed.
Xie Qiao shook his head and said, "That's not it. Qianxi got his driver's license during the summer vacation."
"Why is Qianxi getting a driver's license?" Xu Lin's eyes suddenly lit up: "Isn't Lao Qin buying Qianxi a car?"
"Old Qin is so good to Qianxi, it's not surprising that he bought a car for Qianxi, but I don't think Qianxi will accept it."
Xu Lin blinked: "Why not?"
"Qianxi is not with Lao Qin for his money. A car should cost at least hundreds of thousands, right? Qianxi is not married to Lao Qin yet, so why would she accept a car from him at this time?"
Hearing what Xie Qiao said, Xu Lin's eyes turned: "If Yang Cheng gave you a car, would you accept it?"
"Of course not. Think about it, two people are equal when they are together. If you rashly accept the other person's expensive gift, wouldn't it be equivalent to being inferior to the other person? How can you get along with each other in the future?"
Just as Xie Qiao finished speaking, the dormitory door was pushed open.
"Qianxi."
"Qianxi, why are you here?"
Xiao Qianxi smiled and said, "Of course I came to see you."
Xu Lin looked at Xiao Qianxi for a while, then turned to Xie Qiao and said, "Have you noticed that Qianxi is a little different from before?"
"Well, it's different now. She's more beautiful and has more temperament." Xie Qiao said, tilting his head.
"Yeah, you feel the same way." Xu Lin snapped his fingers.
Wang Ying naturally also noticed the changes in Xiao Qianxi. When he first entered school, Xiao Qianxi was actually a little timid, and always avoided looking at other people intentionally or unintentionally.
Although Xiao Qianxi's appearance has not changed, his temperament is completely different. He always has a faint smile on his face, and he dares to meet the other person's gaze when talking to others.
Wang Ying also found that Xiao Qianxi's skin was whiter and smoother than before. She knew that Xiao Qianxi never used cosmetics.
"Could it be that this kind of thing has a beauty effect?"
A thought popped into Wang Ying's mind and scared her.
"Wang Ying, are you crazy? How can you have such a weird idea?"
Just as Wang Ying was daydreaming, Xiao Qianxi waved the car keys in his hand at Xie Qiao and Xu Lin.
"Would you like me to take you guys for a ride with my newly-appointed driver's license?"
Xie Qiao and Xu Lin looked at each other.
"Is this car a gift from Lao Qin?"
"Well, I just picked up the car less than half a month ago."
Xie Qiao opened his mouth, but seeing that Xiao Qianxi was in high spirits, he could only swallow the words back.
Xu Lin looked eager to try: "Let's go for a ride."
"Young lady, come along."
Seeing that Wang Ying didn't answer, Xiao Qianxi helped her find a way out: "Wang Ying is always picked up by a luxury car, so she must not be interested in this. We can just go there."
However, Wang Ying sat up from the bed and said, "It's interesting to ride in a different car every now and then."
Having said that, he walked out of the dormitory first.
Xie Qiao and Xu Lin looked at each other, both confused as to what Wang Ying was doing.
Xiao Qianxi was also obviously stunned for a moment, and it was only after Xu Lin pulled her hand that she came back to her senses.
Soon, the four people from dormitory 213 came downstairs.
Xu Lin walked around the car and was amazed: "Old Qin is really willing to spend money. This Audi A6 must be worth more than 30, right?"
"More than that, including options, it's over 400,000. I was planning to let him buy a second-hand Japanese car to practice, but he said that if he bought it from a company, he could get a tax deduction, and he could make a profit by selling it in a few years."
After hearing what Xiao Qianxi said, Xu Lin felt better. If a car worth more than 400,000 yuan really could be given to her as a gift, her worldview might collapse.
Xie Qiao couldn't help but remind him: "Qianxi, are you and Lao Qin okay?"
"Very good, but he has been getting busier and busier recently, and he comes back very late every day."
Speaking of this, Xiao Qianxi couldn't help but blush. She didn't know why Qin Hao was so energetic. He had to deal with so many things in the company every day, and he would bother her for a long time after he came back.
As they were talking, the four of them had already gotten into the car. As a novice driver, Xiao Qianxi actually drove quite slowly, but Xu Lin and Xie Qiao kept reminding her not to drive too fast. Only Wang Ying sat calmly in the passenger seat.
After walking around the Peking University and Tsinghua University campus, Xiao Qianxi and his three companions had just returned to the dormitory building when they heard a horn sound.
Looking back, I found Qin Chuan getting out of a broken Alto.
"Qiao Qiao, look at my car, let me take you for a ride."
Xie Qiao rolled his eyes at him and said, "Where did you get this broken Alto? You're going for a ride, be careful not to drive it apart."
Qin Chuan was unhappy when he heard this: "What's wrong with Alto? Although it's a second-hand car, it doesn't affect driving at all."
Xu Lin patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder and said in a sympathetic tone: "Qin Chuan, although I agree with your desire to think of Qiao Qiao whenever something good happens, your Alto is indeed a bit shabby."
He pointed to the Audi A6 parked in front and said, "See, we just came back from a drive, so we won't bother you."
Qin Chuan frowned: "Isn't the young lady's driver driving a Mercedes-Benz? Why did it become an Audi? Did he lose money in business?"
Xie Qiao patted Qin Chuan and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? This is Qianxi's car."
"What? Qianxi's car?" Upon hearing that, Qin Chuan hurriedly asked Xiao Qianxi for the key, opened the door of the driver's seat and got in.
"A luxury car is a luxury car. It is comfortable to sit in. It is really different from my shabby Alto. When I have money in the future, I will buy one."
Xu Lin complained: "Wake up, you're just relying on your pancake stand? When will you be able to afford an Audi?"
Qin Chuan was not convinced and said, "Don't underestimate my pancake stall. Lao Qin is optimistic about my investment. When has Lao Qin ever done a business that lost money? Wait until I open a few more pancake shops and allow franchisees. Then it won't be easy to buy a car."
"So when do you plan to open a pancake shop?"
"Soon, it's already in my plan."
Qin Chuan then asked Xiao Qianxi to lend him the car for a few laps. Just as Xie Qiao was about to stop him, Xiao Qianxi had already handed the car keys to Qin Chuan, making him so excited that he stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
"Qianxi, why did you lend him your car? What if it gets bumped into or bruised?" Xie Qiao knew Qin Chuan too well. This guy's ability to cause trouble was much stronger than his ability to do real work.
"It's okay. If you pass the driving test and want to practice, you can do so anytime. I don't usually drive this car anyway."
"Now that you mention it, I'm kind of thinking about getting a driver's license."
While they were chatting and laughing, they had already returned to dormitory 213.
Xiao Qianxi sat for a while, and before leaving, he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, at the freshman entrance ceremony tomorrow, Qin Hao will give a speech as a representative of outstanding students. Remember to go then."
"Is there still this project? Why don't I remember it?" Xu Lin scratched his head.
Wang Ying glared at her fiercely: "It was you who gave us poisonous mushrooms. We were all receiving IV drips in the infirmary that morning and didn't catch up at all."
……
The next day, the freshman entrance ceremony began.
In the Peking University Auditorium, Xiao Qianxi and three others had already grabbed a seat in the middle facing the podium. Xu Lin even borrowed a digital camera from the comics club. In her words, she wanted to record Qin Hao's highlight moments so that she would have evidence when she brags to others in the future.
At the beginning, the boring speeches of the school leaders made the students in the entire auditorium drowsy, until the host announced that Qin Hao would take the stage to give a speech, the atmosphere in the auditorium suddenly became lively.
The freshmen were all confused and didn't understand why this senior was so popular in Peking University and Tsinghua University.
Qin Hao slowly walked towards the podium amid cheers and applause.
Surprisingly, Qin Hao did not prepare a speech.
"Okay, even if you slap your hands until they're broken, I won't give you any coupons today."
The old students burst into laughter when they heard this, while the new students were confused. What coupons?
At this time, the senior students will explain science to the freshmen around them.
"Remember, if you want to buy something, don't go to the supermarket, go directly to Yigoo. The price is at least 7% off the supermarket price."
The freshman's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Is there such a good thing? But what does this have to do with the person on the podium?"
"His name is Qin Hao, he's a sophomore in computer science, and he founded Yiguo. Do you think they are related?"
"What? You started a business in your sophomore year?"
"What's sophomore year? Some people make thousands of yuan selling SIM cards on their first day of freshman year. They work with Shanda and NetEase in the first half of their freshman year and make millions a month."
The freshmen feel like they are listening to a foreign language. They have gone through the same nine years of compulsory education and the same ten years of hard study. After all, they are the top students who were admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University. Why do they feel like they are being crushed as soon as the school starts?
"A million a month is a bit too much, right? Even a company with over 100 million in assets can't make that much in a month, right?"
"How could this be false? The school magazine even reported it. And it is said that Qin Hao is relatively low-key and deliberately reported a lower figure. The actual profit must be much higher."
"The school magazine might also be reporting fake news. Besides, he reported the profits himself. If the school magazine interviewed me, I could report tens of millions." The freshman sneered.
"Not only the school magazine, but also the Beijing Evening News reported it. They also interviewed Chen Tianqiao from Shanda and Ding Sanshi from NetEase. They wouldn't lie, right?"
In 2002, when the legend was at its peak, Chen Tianqiao also went from being an unknown nobody to a household name as an entrepreneurial pioneer.
As for Ding Sanshi, as the founder of NetEase, one of the three major portals, he is more famous than Chen Tianqiao.
"Oh my god, doesn't that mean he must be making tens of millions a year?" The freshman believed it this time.
On the podium, Qin Hao made a joke to liven up the atmosphere, then spoke slowly.
"Before I went on stage, I actually hadn't thought about what I was going to say. I'm sure everyone is tired of hearing the same old clichés about hard work and striving."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of response in the auditorium.
Qin Hao paused and continued, "Then I will tell you something different today."
"I personally think that hard work is important, but choice is more important than hard work. Take me for example. Before I entered school, my family borrowed all the money they could to raise tuition for me. In the end, I only had 500 yuan left for living expenses. Maybe many classmates would say that 500 yuan a month is not a small amount. I only have 400 yuan, but this 500 yuan is my living expenses for the entire semester, which averages out to less than 100 yuan a month."
There was an uproar in the auditorium immediately. Xiao Qianxi's eyes were red. Maybe in the eyes of others, Qin Hao was putting on a show, but she knew very well that this was all happening in real life.
"Is it because my parents don't work hard? They work hard, facing the earth and doing the heaviest physical work. During the slack season, they have to do odd jobs in the county to barely make ends meet."
"So when I was back home, I started thinking, if they could go further away, to more developed places, would they have more opportunities?"
"Of course I am not blaming them. Their generation has a special historical background. I want to tell everyone here that no matter how poor your family is, since you can come to Peking University and Tsinghua University, your starting point is far ahead of many of your peers."
"The key to your destiny is in your hands. In the remaining time on campus, you will have many opportunities to choose. These opportunities will determine whether you can open the door to success."
"As for how to make the right choice, my personal advice is to pay more attention to national policies and watch more news broadcasts. If you don't have an amazing family background, don't try to go against the tide."
“If the wind blows, even a pig can take off.”
"Good winds help me soar to the sky. I hope you will all encourage me."
