The sunlight was very dazzling and cicadas were chirping in the treetops nearby.
The promotional posters at the bus stop have been processed with relevant technology, so they should be much more beautiful. However, the woman in front of him appeared next to him exactly the same as the one on the poster. Her hair was tied up in a bun, and she wore a shirt on the outside and a tight vest inside. Her earlobes were adorned with delicate diamond earrings, which were not exaggerated, but sparkled a little in the sunlight.
She patted his shoulder so casually and naturally, and her eyes under the brim of her hat were clearly assessing his reaction in a playful manner.
It seemed that if Cheng Ran asked the crowd gathered at the bus stop, nine out of ten people would be able to tell her name. Perhaps this woman only showed this look in front of Cheng Ran now, and it could be seen that even though she was still teasing him, there was a kind of calmness and leisure in the flickering light in her eyes.
Cheng Ran felt as if they were still in the mountains and sea, standing side by side.
Qin Xizhen is indeed different now.
Life and career are both melting pots that can make people grow quickly, but whether gold can be melted into copper or iron depends on personal perseverance. Qin Xizhen, who entered that circle but did not follow the crowd, but walked out of his own path, proved that Cheng Ran was not wrong.
She stood quietly by the side, and the temperament she exuded from inside out was like the sparse clouds in autumn, vast and graceful.
Cheng Ran noticed that she was only carrying a small backpack and no heavy luggage such as boxes. It was clear that she did not come in a hurry, but had already settled down in advance.
Although there is still some heat in the weather, stuffiness is no longer the main theme. The sky is clear above my head. It seems that even if I am alone here, letting the precious time pass by, it would be a pleasant thing.
Not to mention the woman standing in front of him, who had frequently appeared in some media magazines with words such as "jade girl" and "little queen" that carried a sense of exploration and mystery since the "Bai Nian Runfa" advertisement, and now she was standing in front of him like this.
After Cheng Ran made money in the stock market and gave Qin Xizhen some dividends, she just said thank you lightly when she received it, which made Cheng Ran feel a little uncomfortable.
Seeing her at this time, even though we were meeting old friends, the woman in front of me still seemed to exude a cold temperament from the inside out.
Cheng Ran asked, "When did you arrive in Chengdu? Why didn't you call me in advance?"
Facing her sudden appearance, although Cheng Ran's expression did not change too much, the way he stared at the poster with her image just now and the stunned look when she appeared still made Qin Xizhen sneer in his heart... but he was not so calm.
She smiled and said, "I arrived yesterday, and I happened to be free today... You don't allow shareholders to come here incognito? Also, if it wasn't a surprise attack, how could I have seen you look so silly just now?" She deliberately emphasized the last two words.
Obviously, she didn't intentionally ask about the previous conclusion about "whether it looks good or not", but this sentence was consistent with the previous response, and Cheng Ran's expression was clear at a glance... Although it was understandable that he was in a daze looking at a beautiful woman.
The main reason is that the woman on the poster is indeed quite pleasing to the eye.
The corners of Qin Xizhen's pretty and cold mouth slightly raised as she stared at Cheng Ran.
Cheng Ran did not let himself fall into the quagmire of discomfort for a long time, and quickly shifted his focus and made a breakthrough, "How do you know that I'm in Tianxing at this time? What if I go out to travel during the holidays?" It can be seen that Qin Xizhen came on a whim, and the two of them met unexpectedly on the sidewalk in front of the bus stop outside the Tianxing Dojo. It really gave people the feeling of "Will you suddenly appear in the coffee shop on the corner?"
But Qin Xizhen's answer quickly killed this "petty bourgeois" mood in the cradle, "First, I installed an anti-stealth plug-in on my computer, so I often see you online, and at very regular times. This is not the state of travel."
Cheng Ran was stunned. With the increasing number of CQ users, various plug-in programs for CQ were flourishing in Internet cafes and users' computers. Now the CQ team was focusing on development. As long as they did not go too far, they would turn a blind eye. Not many people would take action, and most of them knew the rules. After all, Li Mingshi was still famous. This Fulong engineer, CQ chief technology officer, and advanced worker who had received commendations for flood control was a frequent visitor to major source code and security frontier forums and a big shot in the technical world. With the big framework he had silently drawn, everyone was safe. As for those small fish and shrimps that crossed the line, their vitality usually did not last long.
But I didn't expect that this hamster would actually use the invisibility plug-in on herself to analyze her own trajectory. This girl would actually do something that even Cheng Ran was surprised.
"Secondly, Chen Muyi was the matchmaker for my initial investment in Tianxing Daoguan, and he has actually been in contact with Jiang Zhou. Although Jiang Zhou will not reveal your specific whereabouts, as to whether you are in Rongcheng, this information can still be confirmed."
"Third, I'll come over to see Tianxing Dojo. Even if you're not here, I can call you and ask you to come over." Qin Xizhen said as a matter of course. This sounded very overbearing at first, but then this woman who was previously invited to serve as an ambassador in a national coastal important central city and had half the city's police escort her on stage tilted her head and said softly, "Anyway, I'm online all day today. No matter what time period, if you're free... we can meet."
She has a bright look in her eyes and is gentle, virtuous, and sensible.
Cheng Ran suddenly realized, "It just so happens that some relatives are coming to my house. I'll go take care of them. I'll come back after I send the guests off at 10pm. Do you want to go back to the hotel first..."
"Cheng Ran, what are you doing here at ten o'clock..."
After a pause, the hamster moved with a half-smile, his bright eyes and white teeth filled with murderous intent.
"Look at the stars or the moon? Isn't it good to be alive?"
…
Of course it's good to be alive. Cheng Ran, who has experienced two lives, knows that longevity is the bottom line. It's like fighting a war with strategic depth, being able to drag the enemy into the vast ocean of people's war, or at least being able to fight back after a nuclear strike. Boss Ma tells us the ironclad fact that even if you are not good-looking, you have to be thick-skinned and live to the end to have Taobao. As the saying goes, men conquer the world, women conquer men, and Lao Ma conquers women.
So Cheng Ran stopped joking, changed the subject, and looked at the pre-sale poster of "The Culprit". "I heard that there was a long queue in Japan just to listen to this song. Can you sing it for me?"
Qin Xizhen looked at him calmly and said, "Let's go. Let me see the development report of Tianxing Dojo. Shareholders have the right to know whether the industry is operating healthily."
Cheng Ran was speechless. It seemed that his chance to relive the memories would be gone for the time being.
Her awareness had not improved at all. The hamster who was focused on reading the report pulled Cheng Ran into the Tianxing Hall, but did not go through the main entrance, but entered from the No. 3 internal freight passage. Cheng Ran took her to the office area, looked at the hat on Qin Xizhen's head, and said, "Aren't you worried about being recognized by others? Why don't you wear a mask?"
Qin Xizhen rolled his eyes at him, "Do you really think that the paparazzi are so idle that they will follow you and take pictures every day, and that if you show your head, you will be in the camera and on the news the next day, or be surrounded by people who suddenly show up? All the companies that came to me to discuss exposure were sent away by Chen Muyi. Most people need to be induced to follow the trend. As long as no one deliberately guides me, most of the time when I am recognized, it's just like that. Generally speaking, even fans are very shy and won't come over to ask easily. Sometimes when I meet tourists who happen to have cameras, at most I will take a photo with them."
Cheng Ran gave a thumbs up, "You have experience. I took it for granted."
Qin Xizhen pointed to the office. Looking over the corridor, one could see shadowy figures in the water bar on the first floor. Cheng Ran pressed the door handle and turned the door open. When he entered, Jiang Zhou was busy working in the manager's office. He looked up and saw that it was Cheng Ran. He continued to work hard and said, "I'm still sorting out the statistics submitted by the Internal Affairs Department this month. I'll send it to your email in two days after I review it."
Cheng Ran nodded, "No hurry, I'll use the computer for a while, and you can close the door after you go out."
Jiang Zhou suddenly looked up, and after a slight daze, he said, "Hmm!" and stood up to give up his seat. When Qin Xizhen passed by him, he did not forget to give him an apologetic smile.
Jiang Zhou was stunned for a long time. When he was about to leave, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you... Qin Xizhen?"
"You are Jiang Zhou, right?" Qin Xizhen asked, and then she smiled prettily, "... Jiang Erwa. I often hear Cheng Ran talk about you." Cheng Ran also nodded to Jiang Zhou who looked over for advice.
"Excuse me!" Jiang Zhou nodded professionally and walked out.
After the door closed, Qin Xizhen couldn't help laughing as he looked at the silhouette of Jiang Zhou's clenched fist projected on the frosted glass.
"I'm digesting it right now. I don't care." Cheng Ran typed the password on the computer, opened the encrypted folder, and clicked on the document. "Everything is here. You can take a look. It includes some actuarial verification and some implementation of this year's plan."
Qin Xizhen stretched out his hand, took the mouse and started clicking crisply, his eyes reflecting the light from the screen. For the first time, Cheng Ran felt that the scene when he and Shan Hai were selling board games and dividing the money and counting it was not out of place in the present moment.
Qin Xizhen said in a delighted tone, "The advertising business has actually been developed. The turnover of Tianxing Dojo is very good. We have plenty of money on hand. What do you plan to do with this money?"
Cheng Ran said, "There are two Internet companies to support, both of which are big money eaters."
She turned her head and looked at him suspiciously. "Is this the reason why you entered the stock market some time ago?"
Cheng Ran nodded, "It's better to be prepared. The most important thing is that we see an opportunity."
Qin Xizhen asked if you still need money
Cheng Ran nodded and said, yes, the more the better.
Qin Xizhen thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll also use my dividend from the Tianxing Dojo to make up for it."
Cheng Ran thought for a moment and said, "A little less."
Ban Cangshu narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Do you still want me to sell my hard-earned money to support you?"
At this time, Jiang Zhou, who was holding a drink he had mixed himself, knocked on the door and came in. The three of them looked at each other.
“Excuse me!”
Jiang Zhou just put half of his head in with the plate in his hand, then turned around and walked away with a trembling voice.
