The news about Qin Xizhen's secret meeting with a mysterious young man in the evening at HKUST was published in the most conspicuous entertainment section of the newspaper, along with a photo. It was a privately converted noodle restaurant located deep inside the university. In such an environment, the two people were sitting at a 90-degree angle, and the angle of their faces just happened to fully reveal their images.
The media has a lot to say about this kind of seating, and has released many interpretations. Generally, people who are wary of strangers, or just friends, or two young men and women who are just experiencing love for the first time, are eager to show themselves, hide their shortcomings and highlight their strengths, so they will sit opposite each other and have a balanced conversation. But when it comes to mutual trust, a closer relationship, or a relationship between relatives and friends, for example, lovers, it is only when they are willing to support each other and tolerate all of each other's strengths and imperfections that they will adopt this more intimate, unguarded, and closer seating method.
This shows that if this person is not her relative, then they may have a very special relationship.
Qin Xizhen has few scandals, but she is definitely a hot topic. First of all, her representative songs and her singing and songwriting skills are the most fascinating. It is rare to have such singing and songwriting skills and a beautiful face that is described by the outside world as "stunning". Therefore, some big-name critics even gave her the title of "the shining pearl in the sky city of the music world".
After all, she still focuses on making music, and does not often participate in public commercial performances, and seldom appears in social activities. However, there are many people who pair her with some famous people because of some related activities. Of course, there is no shortage of celebrities who express their admiration for her openly or covertly. She is often talked about and even fantasized about, satisfying the imagination of "talented men and beautiful women".
For example, there is a star who is currently widely discussed among young people. He mentioned Qin Xizhen twice in public with undisguised enthusiasm. Some of his remarks were even interpreted by some media as "declaring love from a distance." However, the star, who has always attached great importance to his reputation, did not make any explanatory remarks that might lead to a deviation in the scope of the topic in some public question-and-answer occasions, so the ambiguous atmosphere exaggerated by the outside world became stronger.
For example, a certain entrepreneur did not hesitate to say that he was a fan of Qin Xizhen. He would either attend almost every one of her solo concerts in person or try every means to win some sponsorship opportunities. His presence was always there. Although he did not express any pursuit of Qin Xizhen, his admiration for her was almost beyond words. This was seen by the outside world as a resolute attitude of not turning back until he hit the wall, and it was also widely praised. At least it earned the other party the reputation of being infatuated.
There are also some so-called writers and creators who, in their evaluation of Qin Xizhen, have an attitude of admiration that cannot be concealed, and there are rumors that famous scholars admire beautiful women.
What's more, some wealthy families with a good foundation are not very willing to accept celebrities from the entertainment industry as their daughters-in-law, but they look at Qin Xizhen differently. It's not that they are interested in Qin Xizhen, but Qin Xizhen better fits their imagination of a proper daughter-in-law and the future head of the family, rather than just a flashy foil.
What is even more valuable is that Qin Xizhen has maintained excellent independence and personal reputation to this day.
Then, in this photo that appeared in front of the public, Qin Xizhen was sitting next to the simple noodle restaurant... a young man who did not conform to anyone's imagination.
…
The phone call came in, and Lin Chu almost jumped up from his seat when he answered it. He quickly got on the phone with Fu Xiao and Zhang Qi from the former 57 Degrees band, and then the news quickly spread among the circle of acquaintances from Shanhai's class that year.
"Cheng Ran was a talent that Qin Xizhen valued very much. It's normal for them to still be in contact after college... That's why she went to his university to visit him."
"Think about it carefully. With Qin Xizhen's current status, can't he go to see Cheng Ran outside the school? Going directly to Cheng Ran's university, doesn't that mean he's not afraid of being exposed? What is this? This is directly giving the strongest support to the current Cheng Ran. What has happened to these two people? Could it be that..."
Some people couldn't help but imagine, "It seems that it's almost over, and they have finally achieved their goal... At that time, the two of them couldn't have any results due to the relationship between the school and their status. Later, one of them became the provincial champion and went to the University of Science and Technology, while the other became a star that everyone paid attention to. Their fates were very different, but some of the connections between them were never broken... They finally got together, right..."
“It’s great…” At some of the former classmates’ reunions, even those who were not in the same class would talk about it as if they were telling a soul-stirring legend.
This is a thing that many people recall and can be so touching after the passage of time. Most people adapt to different roles quickly at different stages in order to avoid being eliminated by society. Even the best friends may have different circumstances and things may have changed when they meet again. He said that he enjoyed the unspoken rules of their industry, but you said that your ups and downs in the human resources industry are hard to resonate with.
Those who once shared life experiences, the same thoughts, believed in, despised, and loved the same things, even if they once liked, knew, and loved each other, could end up with no connection between their joys and sorrows. That was not a betrayal of each other, but rather that they had each gone to different shores.
Some have clear wind and bright moon on the other side, some have daily necessities on the other side, some are full of joy and happiness, and some are struggling.
When he talks about how his child has used several cans of milk powder, and you talk about which place has good vegetarian and which place has good health care services, you know that you two are probably no longer compatible.
Between converting to Buddhism and letting your mind run wild, there are probably several Five Finger Mountains or forks in the road with different ends.
So life is so big that even the familiar people become strangers. And if the people in the past can still remember the past after experiencing the vast and different life experiences, this can probably be regarded as a legend in the eyes of countless people.
"That's great. That's great."
"I broke up with Meng Xiaojiao that year, but when I saw Cheng Ran and Qin Xizhen... I believed in love again."
"I don't think it's okay for Qin Xizhen to be with anyone, and I don't agree. But if it's Cheng Ran... Since we are classmates, I will still bless him..."
…
Tsinghua University made a fuss, and Yang Xia and Qin Qian explained to others, feeling very aggrieved. There was also a lot of turmoil in the Peking University Alumni Association, and the most prominent one was Zhu Xu from Peking University Guanghua School. He thought of Jiang Hongshao, and then looked at Qin Xizhen in the newspaper, and could only curse inwardly, "scumbag!", but he had to shake his head in self-mockery, thinking that this was too amazing, but what made people feel even more excited was... I actually once lived under the same roof with such a person, and I had also fought with him.
Liu Ying in Fulong Courtyard screamed, Yao Beibei gnashed her teeth, Yu Xiao put the newspaper in front of a teammate who was joking around, pointed at the man on the color-printed photo on coated paper like a captain, and swore to everyone, "This is really Cheng Ran! It's him! I'd recognize him even if he turned into ash!"
At Fulon's desk, Tian Feng, then vice chairman of Fulon, placed the magazine in front of Cheng Feiyang.
Cheng Feiyang asked, "What do you mean?"
Tian Feng said, "It was my son in the Netherlands who got the news first and told me that this might be Cheng Ran. I asked someone to buy two copies, and this one is for you. The little Cheng Ran who used to come to my house and eat a big bowl of fried broad beans and run around... is grown up now." His expression was full of envy, not only for the child he mentioned, but also for Cheng Feiyang in front of him.
Cheng Feiyang received another call from Xu Lan, but he still said to his wife, "He didn't tell you, so he must have his reasons. Don't worry, and don't go to Nanzhou to find him at this time. You're just causing trouble for your son... He does things on his own and knows his limits. This matter is not unrelated to USTC's National Chip, but that's his business. We just have to watch and see. What we can do as parents is to help him solve his worries, but he should be the one to bear the brunt of what's happening now."
…
In the initial media reports, the only eye-catching words used were "secret meeting with a mysterious person" to describe the person Qin Xizhen met at HKUST.
What followed was a race between various media outlets to seize the initiative. After the attention grew, in the next few pages of intensive coverage, major media outlets with special news channels obtained specific information about the mysterious man.
Cheng Ran.
The person involved in the USTC Guoxin incident, Tianxing Laboratory.
Insiders revealed that it was not the so-called Qin Xizhen who came to USTC to meet her cousin.
There is no family relationship between the two.
