Kang Baohong's mind was racing.
This girl is naturally beautiful, dignified, and has an excellent temperament, just like an orchid in a valley. She is also an excellent student at Zhejiang University, beautiful and intelligent. Those who are just good-looking can't compare to her.
What's more, they are neighbors of small bosses, and this childhood sweetheart relationship is particularly strong. She came all the way here to find him, and no one would believe her if she said she didn't have some relationship.
Even if she is not the boss lady, she is definitely a potential boss lady!
As for why the boss is unwilling to admit it
Because there are so many beautiful girls around him.
The two girls in the same class who were called over to help with the New Year's Day opening and the new semester's opening are both very beautiful and have their own strengths. One is proud and noble, and the other is passionate and unrestrained.
It is not easy for others to invite such a girl to have a meal, but the boss can call her when he wants and dismiss her when he wants. He doesn't even have to pay her salary and just does it for free. This method is really powerful.
But there is no way, because the boss is not only a handsome young man with a god-given face, but also rich and powerful, and he is also very good at talking and coaxing girls.
With this in mind, it seems understandable that the young boss doesn't want to be trapped by the future boss lady so early, so he is unwilling to admit it for the time being.
After all, a young man must be romantic to live his youth, not to mention that he has these unique conditions.
It wouldn't be so fun to let other girls know that you have a wife.
Of course, the boss can ignore the future boss lady, but you can’t be ignorant and try to make yourself familiar with her and curry favor with her first.
So Kang Baohong poured a glass of water, ran over happily, and put it in front of Qin Shiqing who was playing with a trial machine, with a flattering smile on his face: "Hello, I am Kang Baohong, the general manager of New Century!"
Qin Shiqing was slightly stunned.
This digital store seems to be of high standards. As the general manager, his status must not be low. He actually personally delivered water to one of his students and even used honorifics in his address. This made Qin Shiqing very puzzled.
No matter what, Qin Shiqing nodded and said, "Hello, General Manager Kang, thank you!"
"Madam boss, you can just call me Xiaokang!"
Kang Baohong was flattered: "Welcome to New Century to guide our work."
"Boss lady?"
Qin Shiqing was completely confused.
It’s incomprehensible why this general manager calls himself this.
She frowned and said, "General Manager Kang, you must be mistaken. I don't know the owner of your store."
"Uh, you don't know him?"
Kang Baohong was also dumbfounded and subconsciously glanced at Su Zelin.
Didn’t the boss say she was her high school classmate and neighbor? How could he not know her
It's obviously unreasonable!
Oh, there is another possibility.
That is, for some reason, the young boss never told his future boss lady that he had opened this digital store!
It’s over, it’s over, I’m in trouble now!
Kang Baohong secretly hated himself for being too talkative. He reacted quickly and made up for his mistake immediately: "Oh, sorry, I recognized the wrong person. You look a lot like our boss lady. I'm sorry, sorry!"
After finishing the explanation, Kang Baohong quickly left without giving Qin Shiqing a chance to ask further questions.
Qin Shiqing was completely confused.
This guy is so strange, what does he mean
Also, the last few sentences feel like they are covering up something.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind, and the girl's bright eyes suddenly widened.
Could the boss that General Manager Kang mentioned be Ze Lin
Just now when he said that he didn't know the shop owner, he turned his head and looked at Zelin!
By the way, after the college entrance examination, Zelin also said that he would start a business while going to college.
Is this the digital store he opened
The more Qin Shiqing thought about it, the more doubts she had.
When Hunzi said that he wanted to work part-time in a digital store in the Finance Institute, Qin Shiqing was very surprised.
Working for others is not the character of my childhood sweetheart.
With his unruly personality, he is definitely not someone who likes to be constrained.
At that time, Su Zelin told her that he wanted to hone himself, and Qin Shiqing did not doubt it too much.
But now it seems that may not be the case.
However, the investment for such a store is probably not small.
Not to mention anything else, just such a large storefront, such high-level decoration, and dozens of trial machines would probably cost more than 200,000 yuan, not to mention the need to stock up!
Zelin won the lottery before, and later he was said to have bought some stocks, making several times the profit in one go, now having more than 100,000 yuan on hand.
Even if he invested all that money, it probably wouldn't be enough.
Or do you have support from uncles and aunts
But if my uncle and aunt knew about this, there would be no need to hide it.
Especially my aunt, she probably wanted others to know that Zelin started a business in college and opened such a large digital store.
Zelin wouldn't hide this from even his uncle and aunt, right
The girl looked confused and surprised.
She found that many clues pointed to Su Zelin as the real boss behind the store, but unfortunately she couldn't figure out some details.
On the other side, Su Zelin found Kang Baohong and asked in a low voice, "What did you say to her?"
In the store, the two men were the general manager and the store manager. Kang Baohong's rank was undoubtedly higher, so Hunzi was very careful with his words.
"Nothing, I'll just let her take a look."
Kang Baohong felt a little guilty and uneasy.
It seems that the young boss's secret was exposed by himself in front of the future boss's wife. I don't know what the consequences will be.
Su Zelin could tell at a glance that he was not being sincere.
When a customer comes into the store, unless it is very busy, the general manager will not greet him personally and offer him a glass of water.
Baohong must have misunderstood and thought Qin Shiqing was my girlfriend, so he went over to curry favor with her.
Qin Shiqing stayed in the store for an hour and didn't leave.
The scoundrel couldn't sit still anymore, so he walked over and said, "Hey, Qin Shiqing, you've been having sex for free for so long, why haven't you left yet?"
“Isn’t your store called an experience center?”
Qin Shiqing pointed at the sign next to the experience machine and said, "You can try it at will and buy it if you are satisfied. Is this slogan fake?"
Su Zelin was helpless and could only let his childhood sweetheart do whatever she wanted.
"By the way, Zelin, have you met the owner of this store?"
Qin Shiqing asked deliberately.
I don’t know why my childhood sweetheart brought up this topic, but Su Zelin still said casually: “I haven’t seen it.”
"Well, what kind of person do you think he will be?"
Qin Shiqing was very interested.
"Why are you asking our boss? What does it have to do with you?"
Su Zelin frowned.
"Others are so rich, maybe one day I'll have the chance to hook up with a rich man."
Qin Shiqing smiled.
"Come on, let's forget about this kind of rich man. To be able to invest so much, he must have accumulated a lot of wealth. I think the boss shouldn't be too young. He's probably a middle-aged man with a big belly!"
"Besides that, this guy is very business-minded. He uses his brain a lot and loses his hair easily. He may also have a Mediterranean look, a mustache, and a pair of eyes like green beans. He looks very shrewd!"
"Oh, and he may have a few mistresses out there, with red flags flying all over the place and colorful flags fluttering, and with a bunch of illegitimate children."
"In short, he's a greasy uncle with green eyes, a mustache, a Mediterranean belly, a mistress, and an illegitimate child. Qin Shiqing, you'd be better off finding a dog as your boyfriend than finding someone like this!"
Qin Shiqing: “…”
It's really hard for you to think of so many ironic things in an instant.
Well, not all of it is ironic.
It is possible for the red flag to remain standing and the colorful flags to flutter…
"Su Zelin, it doesn't seem right to stab your boss in the back like this. There's no such thing as an employee like that."
"Tsk, what does it matter!"
Su Zelin didn't care: "Brother is the golden signboard of New Century and the salesman. His business ability is excellent. He also raised the overall appearance of the store employees by 20%. It's not an exaggeration to say that he is the pillar of New Century. His monthly salary is only a little more than the average employee's phone bill. Isn't it infuriating? Damn, if it were any other store, the boss would have come to lick my ass!"
Seeing the gangster's indignant and chattering look, Qin Shiqing was speechless.
It would be a huge loss to the film and television industry if this guy doesn't win an Oscar.
"I'm not going to talk to you any more. I still have to work."
Su Zelin said a few words and returned to the counter.
By the way, because of Qin Shiqing, the popularity of the digital store seemed to have recovered a little this morning.
Many boys who came to the store were reluctant to leave. Some of the more confident ones even wanted to run over and ask about QQ, but were politely rejected by Qin Shiqing.
This went on until noon, when the shift changed in the digital store. Su Zelin changed out of his work clothes and then pulled Qin Shiqing out.
"Alright, alright, I'll treat you to lunch, and you should go back as soon as possible, Miss Qin, I beg you!"
Su Zelin was really afraid that Qin Shiqing would come again in the afternoon.
It is easy to invite Buddha but difficult to send him away.
No, I didn’t invite her over!
"Look at what you said, it's as if I just wanted to come over and have a free lunch with you, and I wouldn't want to leave if I didn't get one!"
Qin Shiqing was unhappy: "If you feel that you have suffered a loss, then come to Zhejiang University when you have time, and I will get it back for you."
Su Zelin thought to himself that this was not an option.
In the previous life, something bad happened.
"Okay, okay, I said the wrong thing. I'm sorry, Miss Qin."
Su Zelin raised his hands in surrender.
"That's more like it."
Qin Shiqing was finally satisfied.
He took his childhood sweetheart to the snack street outside the school, had a bowl of Pianchuan, and then sent her to the bus stop opposite without saying anything.
When the bus stopped, Su Zelin reminded her again, "Qin Shiqing, don't be so bored and come uninvited next time. You will disturb my work and it won't have a good impact!"
"What did I disturb? There are quite a lot of people in your digital store today."
"They are here for me, not for you. Don't forget that I am not only a sales representative of New Century, but also an idol of many female customers. Your behavior will make many female customers mistakenly think that I have a girlfriend. Have you heard of the halo of idols? Idols are work machines and cannot have relationships, otherwise they will lose fans, which will indirectly affect my business and the business of the digital store!"
Su Zelin argued convincingly.
"Got it, I'll definitely do it next time, Boss Su!"
Qin Shiqing directly used her ultimate move.
"Boss Su?"
Qingmei's sudden words startled the gangster.
"Hey, did I say that? You must have heard it wrong!"
The girl pouted and got on the bus.
Until the bus goes away.
Su Zelin was still a little confused.
Uh, maybe I heard it wrong.
The problem of hard of hearing seems to have worsened again and it cannot be ignored.
…
Zhejiang University, Qin Shiqing returned to the dormitory.
Deng Xiaoman, Chen Zi and Shen Jia all went out shopping, leaving only Xiao Yue and Yan Qiuwen.
"Shiqing, you're back. How was it? Did you see your sweetheart working so hard?"
As soon as Qin Shiqing walked in, Xiao Yue, who was chatting on QQ, asked jokingly.
Among everyone in the dormitory, she and Qin Shiqing have the closest relationship. They can talk about almost anything. Qin Shiqing often talks to her about their childhood sweethearts. Xiao Yue is also quite interested in this youth campus soap opera. When she learned that Qin Shiqing went to the digital store of the Finance College to see Su Zelin today, she was very concerned about the outcome.
"Don't talk nonsense, what little lover!"
Qin Shiqing slapped her shyly, then said, "Yes, I did see him, but he always wanted to chase me away, saying that I was affecting his work!"
"Oh, that boy is quite arrogant, Shiqing, you have to teach him a lesson more often in the future!"
Xiao Yue made a suggestion.
"How can I deal with him? I'm afraid no one can deal with that guy. Uncle Su can't do anything to him. Only Auntie's broom can have a little deterrent effect!"
Qin Shiqing was helpless.
Childhood sweethearts are like a group of wild horses, no one can tie them up.
It seems that my roommate has been bullied by that boy. No, I have to vent her anger!
Xiao Yue felt that Qin Shiqing was too wronged and decided to stand up for her, so she opened QQ and found the avatar wearing sunglasses.
Just now she noticed that Su Zelin was online. At this time every day at noon, Su Zelin would basically go online. Xiao Yue also noticed this habit of the other party, but she was used to being invisible, so Su Zelin didn't know.
She typed a few lines quickly.
Yueyue: "Manager Su, you are so arrogant. Our Shiqing came to see you out of kindness, but you treated her like this! [Cleaning Knife]"
Soon, there was a reply.
Very handsome at the age of one: "Xiao Yueyue, how could I have that? I even treated her to a meal and personally sent her to the bus. You are wrongly accusing a good person [flat mouth]"
Yueyue: "Did you personally send her to the bus? You were chasing her away [angry eyes]"
Very handsome at the age of one: "It's mainly because it's noon. I have to go to the store to work in the afternoon. I have to go back and have a good rest to recharge my energy. Besides, Qin Shiqing is also used to taking a nap. Lack of sleep is a taboo for girls. It has a great impact on the skin. I am also thinking about her!"
Yueyue: "Yes, yes, Manager Su, you are right, you are the most reasonable!"
Even though he had sent an army to hold Su Zelin accountable, Xiao Yue really had no way to deal with Su Zelin.
The scoundrel is full of twisted ideas, and he can even make a dead person look alive.
This kind of guy wants a girl to sleep with him in winter. It can be said that he is afraid that she will catch a cold and wants to keep her warm.
He was handsome at the age of one: "Xiao Yueyue, I haven't seen you for so long. Why didn't you come to the Finance College with Qin Shiqing to see me? Come over when you have time. There is a wet clay pot porridge in the snack street outside our school. It's delicious, especially the seafood porridge. The abalone is so sweet. Don't eat it too much. The salt and pepper mantis shrimp and grilled oysters are also good. They are so fat that your mouth is full of oil. By the way, there are also a few big geoducks. The head, wow, is a bit scary. If you come over, I will bear the pain and get one!"
Yueyue: “Really?”
Xiao Yue was a little excited. She was a foodie and especially liked seafood.
Su Zelin's words hit her sore spot.
He was very handsome at the age of one: "Hey, what's our relationship? I would never lie to you even if I lied to my parents. If you want to come over to play, call me anytime!"
"… "
A few minutes later, Xiao Yue realized something was wrong.
Aren't you trying to uphold justice for Shi Qing? Why are you being fooled by the enemy's sugar-coated bullets
But the seafood he talked about was really tempting, and my mouth was watering just listening to it.
By the way, I can call the sisters in the dormitory to treat him to a seafood dinner together, which can be regarded as a disguised form of revenge for Shi Qing.
Su Zelin, just wait, I, Xiao Yue, will eat all the geoduck, and I’ll pick the biggest one!
I feel so sorry for you!
…
After a nap, Xiao Yue went to study.
The top students at Zhejiang University are quite strict about time management. Just like Su Zelin, Xiao Yue usually goes online at noon and evening every day, and even makes good use of the weekends.
Deng Xiaoman, Shen Jia and Chen Zi haven't come back yet. Girls can usually go shopping for a whole day without feeling tired, but sometimes they don't get anything after a whole day.
This is very different from boys. If boys really want to buy something, they will go straight to the point, and just like fishing, they will never come back empty-handed.
After Xiao Yue left, only Qin Shiqing and Yan Qiuwen were left in the dormitory.
Yan Qiuwen never attends self-study because it is unnecessary for her.
As long as you attend classes normally and flip through the books before the exam, your grades will not be too bad, and you may even be the first in the class.
Su Zelin never went to self-study, and his grades were poor, mainly because he spent all day reading comics and novels in class during junior high and high school. For convenience, he even dug a small hole in his desk, which he also left for like-minded people in the future.
Qin Shiqing found the IC card and dialed a long-distance number using the landline.
Not long after, Zhao Lixia's friendly voice came from the other side: "Hello, Shiqing?"
Caller ID has been around since 2000, but before that it was called basic call transfer, and this service required additional payment to activate, unlike later generations when it became a default free service.
As soon as Su Ma saw the caller ID, she knew it was from Qin Shiqing's dormitory. She would occasionally call to ask about her well-being. After all, she was her future daughter-in-law, so she always had to show some concern.
Qin Shiqing hesitated slightly: "Auntie, there is something, I don't know if I should ask you."
Zhao Lixia smiled and said, "Hey, Shiqing, is there anything you can't tell us? We are not outsiders, right?"
"Uh, okay, this is what happened. After the college entrance exam, didn't Zelin say he planned to start a business after college? Does he have any plans?"
One way Qin Shiqing could find out whether Su Zelin was the owner of the digital store was through Su Jianjun and Zhao Lixia, so she couldn't help but make a phone call.
"He was right to say that, but I said there's no rush. After all, Zelin is only a freshman and he's the class monitor. He has to manage the class in addition to studying. Suddenly, something happened in the class during the winter vacation and he had to return to school early. How could he have so much time to do other things? So I advised him to focus on his work first, and it doesn't matter if he starts his own business later!"
Although she was a little surprised as to why Qin Shiqing was suddenly curious about this, Su Ma still told her the truth.
"So, did Zelin ask for a lot of money from his family last semester?"
Qin Shiqing asked again.
"No, that's not the case. After he entered college, he never asked for money from his family, not even for food expenses. You know, he has his own money and is very independent. It was only this semester when he suddenly rushed back to school that your uncle gave him a thousand yuan. Maybe he left in a hurry and had to catch a night bus that night, so he didn't have time to go to the bank to withdraw the money!"
Su Ma guessed so.
After chatting for a few minutes, Qin Shiqing said, "Auntie, I understand. I don't have anything else to say. I just asked casually. That's it."
"Well, Shiqing, let's talk about it when we have time. The weather has changed a lot recently. With the arrival of spring, the flu is rampant and many people have caught colds. You have to be more careful!"
"I know, Auntie, take care of yourself too, bye!"
"goodbye!"
"… "
Qin Shiqing was confused after putting down the microphone.
Judging from the tone of her aunt, she really didn't know.
Could it be that the digital store was not opened by Zelin
Or maybe Zelin had even kept it a secret from his aunt
In addition to childhood sweethearts and parents, this matter can also be verified through another person.
So Qin Shiqing walked right in front of Yan Qiuwen.
At this time, the talented girl was holding a copy of "Seven Faces of Man", a masterpiece by John Gottman, a master of psychology who is also a top figure in the field of interpersonal relationships. This work has also been praised by the media as "the most valuable book in the field of interpersonal relationships."
I don’t know if it was influenced by the gangster, but she has recently developed some interest in socializing.
Qin Shiqing coughed dryly: "Qiu Wen, sorry to bother you, I want to ask you something."
This talented roommate was quite interested in Ze Lin, so she planned to ask Yan Qiuwen for help.
"Speak!"
Yan Qiuwen rarely added a useless modal particle.
In the past, it was just a "say".
It sounds more humane and no longer an emotionless analytical machine.
"It's like this. Today I went to the digital store where Su Zelin works and encountered something strange..."
Qin Shiqing told the whole story before she asked any questions.
Yan Qiuwen said: "Yes, that store is opened by Su Zelin."
With her intelligence, she could tell what Qin Shiqing was trying to find out just by thinking with her butt.
Although she thought Su Zelin was most likely the boss, the girl was still shocked.
Did Zelin quietly open a digital store of such a large scale
"Qiu Wen, how can you be sure?"
She couldn't help but ask.
Yan Qiuwen usually answers this kind of question with "no reason", but this time she patiently explains: "It's very simple. First, people like this will never work for others!"
With Su Zelin's personality, it is impossible for him to endure a nine-to-five working life, even if it is just an odd job.
So the only explanation is that he is the behind-the-scenes boss of the digital store, which is why he actively goes to work and takes charge of the store himself under the name of store manager.
Not to mention that Su Zelin's family is well-off and supports him.
Even if this person is poor, he can still build up his business by setting up a street stall at the beginning.
In fact, when Qin Shiqing mentioned before that Su Zelin worked part-time in the newly opened digital store of the Finance Institute, Yan Qiuwen felt strange and suspicious, but it was only confirmed today.
"Secondly, it's impossible for most people to run a digital store in a university. Just look at our school, there are only two small stores, and they can only sell small accessories like CDs!"
Yan Qiuwen gave a second reason.
Su Zelin is not an ordinary person.
Even the name of that digital store has a lot of mystery to it.
New Century Digital Flagship Experience Center, with a Lin’an Finance Institute branch added at the back.
Both "experience" and "Finance Institute branch" are very clever. Unless you are a person with a very high IQ, you can't play this trick.
"Your childhood sweetheart is an ambitious man. Just wait. He will soon open a second, third, or even more digital stores like this. His mind is now filled with the desire to achieve financial freedom and expand his horizons as soon as possible!"
Speaking of this, Yan Qiuwen added in her heart: This way I can hang out outside as I please.
Of course, this cannot be told to Qin Shiqing.
She is an analytical machine without emotions, but that doesn't mean she has low emotional intelligence.
It just depends on who the person is and whether she wants to use her emotional intelligence to take other people's feelings into consideration.
Picking up the book "Seven Faces of Man" and reading it again meant that she had said everything she needed to say and the conversation ended here.
It's quite interesting to study human nature and social interaction occasionally.
Qin Shiqing was speechless.
It’s actually true.
Yan Qiuwen spoke with certainty, and knowing how capable her roommate was, she did not dare to doubt it.
But the girl couldn't accept this fact for a while.
Unexpectedly, Zelin actually started his own business and became a big boss.
And it's faster and bigger than expected...
I wonder what my mother would think if she knew.
…
