Many of Xie Feibai's friends came here as well. When they arrived, many of them were obviously shocked by the scene. Some of them immediately exclaimed, "Brother Xie, the store is so big. How much did it cost?"
Someone said, "You have money? Even money can't necessarily produce such an effect. This is not something you can do just by having money!"
The man who was told something nodded and smiled, "Yes, yes, Brother Xie, if there is anything I can help you with, just let me know."
"Xie bro, you guys are awesome... It turns out that you guys built the Tianxing Dojo..."
"Rely on friends for help. Everyone has done what they can. If you have nothing to do, introduce more friends to us..." Xie Feibai responded, looking very relaxed. Some people also greeted him from a distance, and he nodded modestly to get the message across.
In fact, even if it was the Tianxing Dojo opening, it was impossible to meet so many acquaintances at once. Most of them were spread among his friends, and everyone wanted to see what the Internet cafe opened by Xie Feibai was like. In short, Xie Feibai caused a sensation in his circle of friends today and was very prominent.
When Qin Qian was working at the cash register, someone at the front desk suddenly laughed, "Qin Qian? It's you... Wow! You're working here?"
Qin Qian was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw a tall and thin boy with messy hair, wearing Nike sportswear. He looked like a handsome and ruffian-like guy that some girls liked, and he looked at her with surprise.
Qin Qian's face changed slightly, and then the boy bumped into the two friends who were coming over and pointed at her, "I told you, she is the girl from No. 10 Middle School. Last time I went to No. 10 Middle School to watch their performance, she was the lead dancer! So later I pursued her..."
Of course Qin Qian knew this boy named Yuan Fei. There was a time when she didn't even have the courage to step out of the school gate. He would come to block her outside the No. 10 Middle School every few days, and he would block her openly. Sometimes he even brought a group of young people with him. They looked difficult to mess with, and they didn't care about her. He would follow her wherever she went. He had only one goal, which was to shamelessly ask her to be his girlfriend.
People who knew Yuan Fei also said that he was the number one figure in Rongwai, so even though some people couldn't stand what happened after school in the afternoon during that period, no one was willing to raise objections against Yuan Fei and a few young people from society and bring themselves into trouble.
Every time Yuan Fei came to stop her, he would repeatedly bombard her with words like "Since you don't have a boyfriend, we can just be friends and try it out. Give me a chance and give me some face." Later, he even found out where her home was and went to look for her at the door of her workplace. Qin Qian couldn't stand it anymore and had to choose Guo Yi. Later, she probably realized that she had no more excuses, so she gave up.
In fact, I often meet acquaintances when I work here. Tianxing Dojo itself is famous here. Students from No. 10 Middle School often come here, and some even come here just for her to work. At first, Qin Qian couldn't let go of her pride, but later her mentality changed and she settled down, like another kind of practice. I also met many alumni today, and everyone chatted and laughed freely.
I just didn't expect to run into Yuan Fei.
Yuan Fei seemed to have found his home ground, and his expression was proud for a moment, "Why, you are working part-time here, this is a place opened by my friend, have you heard of Xie Feibai, he is your boss. How much money did they give you, how about I help you out, how about you play games with me today? I want your service..."
His tone was frivolous, and in fact, it also contained a bit of dissatisfaction from having been rejected before. Now he was eager to take advantage of her verbally.
This commotion attracted the attention of Xie Feibai and Cheng Ran.
Qin Qian's heart sank. What really concerned her was what Yuan Fei revealed in his words... He was a friend of Xie Feibai's circle.
In fact, after he and his friends arrived, they went to greet Xie Feibai first. They laughed, chatted, and smoked, and then came over and saw her.
Qin Qian's mind was full of flashes. She just thought that Xie Feibai and Cheng Ran were friends. If she was rude to Yuan Fei and made both of them unhappy, would it affect the relationship between Cheng Ran and Xie Feibai? So she was now in a state of confusion. Could it be that she had to greet Yuan Fei with a good face when facing his entanglement
Qin Qian looked in the direction of Cheng Ran, and when she saw that Cheng Ran had also noticed her looking over here, Qin Qian took a deep breath, turned to face Yuan Fei, and said softly, "Please don't be like this, okay? If you want to use the computer, I'll turn on the computer for you, and I'll treat you..."
It was probably the first time that Yuan Fei saw Qin Qian speaking to him so gently and submissively. The cat-scratching fire in his heart made him laugh for a moment, “Did I hear you right? Before, at the gate of your school, I said I was thirsty and asked you to treat me to an ice cream, but you refused. You also refused the food I gave you. Now you treat me today. Do you regret it before? It doesn’t matter. I’ll give you a chance. You treat me today and I’ll treat you tomorrow. You work here. This is Brother Xie’s place. I’ll come here often!”
Qin Qian almost collapsed again. People like Yuan Fei were typically shameless and would take advantage of the situation. Moreover, the other party kept calling her "Brother Xie", which obviously grasped her weakness.
On Xie Feibai's side, someone also talked about Yuan Fei's situation, "It is said that this is a girl that Yuan Fei pursued in No. 10 Middle School before. She studied dance and was a beauty. However, Yuan Fei couldn't catch her after pursuing her for a long time... She actually works part-time at your Tianxing Dojo... This kid is so lucky!"
Yuan Fei was still teasing Qin Qian with words, and Qin Qian was very troubled. If it were her usual temper, she would not have scolded Yuan Fei directly, but would have ignored him and turned away. However, now, she just stood there, her face flushed, her eyes dodging in panic, and inadvertently fell on Cheng Ran.
Then she saw that Cheng Ran didn't say anything, but just glanced in Xie Feibai's direction. Xie Feibai, who was originally surrounded by people, received his gaze, and then he moved. The crowd in front of him split open, and Xie Feibai walked straight over.
Xie Feibai came in front of Yuan Fei. Yuan Fei was stunned for a moment, and only heard Xie Feibai's lazy voice, "I'm sorry, what's your name? I didn't hear them clearly when they introduced themselves just now."
Yuan Fei's face suddenly changed. Just now he and his friends kept saying "my friend opened it" and "Brother Xie" and so on. But Xie Feibai came over and said this directly. He seemed to lose face instantly. He was caught off guard and felt a little uncomfortable. He explained, "I am Yuan Fei, Brother Xie. We see each other often. What's going on? Last time we were smoking in the toilet on the second floor, I lit a cigarette for you... We were also talking about the NBA game..."
Xie Feibai said, "Oh, Yuan Fei. There's a word 'fei' in my name..."
When Yuan Fei's expression eased a little, Xie Feibai suddenly shouted, "What a fucking shame! Get out of here! Be smart and don't hang around here anymore!"
The man who came with Yuan Fei still had a smile on his face, but after Xie Feibai's sudden words, the smile became like a piece of plaster, stiff and collapsing.
Yuan Fei was stunned, his face was pale, as if he had been slapped in the face in public. No one around him dared to breathe for a moment.
The originally lively scene was suddenly brought to a standstill by Xie Feibai's sudden outburst.
“No, no… Brother Xie, this…” Yuan Fei’s lips were trembling and he was incoherent for a moment.
Xie Feibai looked around and saw the volume suddenly drop. It was only a brief moment. Even though people were watching and secretly asking, the noise returned to normal. "I'm opening my business today. I don't want to make it look too bad. Go away."
Yuan Fei and his two friends finally walked away in shame without looking back, not daring to say a single word.
While everyone was still stunned by the whole transformation and trying to digest it, Xie Feibai said to Qin Qian in front of him, "I'm not familiar with this guy. Don't worry about my face in the future. Just scold him directly."
Then he winked at Qin Qian again, "Also, don't think I'm too handsome!"
Some girls' eyes were already sparkling, but Qin Qian was stunned for a moment before she smiled at Xie Feibai and said, "Tsk!"
Xie Feibai scratched his head and turned back to chat with others.
Only then did Qin Qian look at Cheng Ran who had been standing in the distance from beginning to end.
If I were to say he was handsome... it would be that look in his eyes.
…
The temporary incident subsided and the scene returned to life. Some people who were using computers at the Internet cafe also told their friends about this incident and shared it as a new thing.
Lu Ling walked over to Xie Feibai, poured a glass of water and handed it to Qin Qian, then the two of them came to the warehouse door and sat on the stool at the door to rest for a while.
Lu Ling smiled and said, "Don't take that kind of person to heart. I hate this kind of disgusting man the most in my life."
Qin Qian nodded.
Lu Ling looked around again, "I admire you very much. I didn't expect you to have talent in this. We are all girls, I can't do it. You dance very well, right? Hey, people with artistic talent are like this..."
Qin Qian held the water glass and looked around the scene. She thought about how everyone was brainstorming and expressing their ideas, and asked her for her opinion. She told them her ideas, such as where to put the bar, how to divide the areas, and how the service staff should be able to see the whole scene at a glance... She only made a small suggestion at first, but everyone thought it was good. From then on, they seemed to rely on her more and more, and her ideas became the main force.
When Qin Qian proposed the idea, she clearly wanted to decorate the room according to her own sci-fi environment. Unexpectedly, she received full support. She did not pursue cost reduction, but as long as she could think of it, she would realize it to the greatest extent possible, no matter how unrealistic it was.
So now it looks like entering a fantasy world. The main walls are all curved, and it looks like being in the interior of a mushroom house. There are many other shapes, such as the stepped boarding hall with a sense of layering, the surrounding three-dimensional wall shapes with rich variations, the light ribbons above the head, and the sculpture of a pair of giant boots at the door, which she specially moved from a senior sister at the Academy of Fine Arts. The pair of big boots makes the people in the room look like dwarfs entering the land of giants, which is quite a contrast.
Everything in front of her made her feel satisfied.
Compared to the sense of accomplishment she felt at the moment, what happened to Yuan Fei today actually did not affect her mood at the moment.
Lu Ling looked at Xie Feibai over there and winked at Qin Qian, "Feibai's personality is like this. Sometimes he is hard to approach. Sometimes he does things without considering the consequences. He is also very overbearing. We are used to him. However, we can only see his restraint when he is in front of someone."
Qin Qian looked at Xie Feibai who was surrounded by people.
As for who Lu Ling was talking about, it was very obvious.
The scene over there was that Xie Feibai ignored the group of people around him who wanted to get close to him and chat with him. He listened to Cheng Ran and Jiang Zhou next to him talking with his ears pointed and eyes squinted, as if he was afraid of missing something.
Qin Qian and Lu Ling both laughed when they saw this scene, showing their white teeth.
Lu Ling said, "It is said that Feibai met Cheng Ran in Shanhai. We have been to Shanhai before, but we have never seen him. It would have been great if we had met him earlier..."
Qin Qian looked at her in confusion. Lu Ling made a face and chuckled, "Then my first love might be left to him! The real boss of Tianxing Dojo, the one who makes Xie Feibai follow him around like a tail, he must have seduced such a guy into bed..."
Then Lu Ling chuckled, "I said I'm still a virgin, and I still have a chance, do you believe it?"
"Believe it... or not..." When Qin Qian was dumbfounded, Lu Ling patted her arm again and said, "I was kidding you! I was just kidding you, haha!"
“Haha…” Qin Qian felt that her smile must not look good.
…
Here, Cheng Ran was talking to Jiang Zhou and Xie Feibai who leaned over to listen, "Why is the price not high? Why should we let more people have the opportunity to touch the things of the new era? A relaxed environment can bring more surging creativity. I hope that many people can come here, not only to play games, but also to reduce the cost of learning..."
Cheng Ran came to an area that was not as noisy as other places. He could hear the sound of typing. There were white-collar workers and students. On the shelves next to him, there were books for anyone to read... "Popular Software", "Computer News", "Personal Webpage Building Skills", "Dos Command Collection"...
Some people hold this book in their hands, read it attentively in front of the computer, and practice operations.
Some people, like those who have just come into contact with computers, are holding a pinyin table and typing on the keyboard word by word to learn the basics of computers.
Facing all this, Cheng Ran turned around and said, "Tianxing Daoguan needs to play its true role. In the future, we will hold the 'Daoists Alliance' here to gather many people with ideas and a spirit of hard work. We will invite people to give lectures on the third floor, maybe professors, famous figures in a certain field. Every lecture will spread the name, attract people to listen, and sow seeds. Then we will select some of them and give them opportunities. Maybe many things in the future... will be born from our hands."
Cheng Ran smiled at Jiang Zhou and Xie Feibai who seemed to understand, "It's okay, we'll take it one step at a time."
Then he paused, cupped his hands over his ears, and whispered, "Listen."
Everyone stopped for a moment, not understanding what he meant or what he wanted to hear.
But I still tried to hold my breath and listen.
There are the sounds of "Identify target!" from the StarCraft tanks attacking, the melodious sound of sailing in the Age of Discovery, pop music, and the sound of "Ding Ding Ding!" from people coughing and knocking on the table...
The times are turbulent.
