"Qianxi."
Xie Qiao hurriedly chased after him.
Xu Lin gave Wang Ying a wry smile: "We've lived in the same dormitory for so long, there's no need to make it like this, right?"
"My pleasure."
Wang Ying snorted, turned around and ignored Xu Lin.
"Oh." Xu Lin sighed, hesitated for a moment, walked out of the dormitory and called Qin Hao.
Qin Hao's first reaction when he heard from Xu Lin that Wang Ying and Xiao Qianxi had a fierce quarrel was confusion. Although Wang Ying had a bit of a young lady's temper, she was not the kind of person who would show off for no reason. Xiao Qianxi's personality was also relatively weak, and her first reaction when encountering things was often to give in. How could these two people still quarrel?
"Okay, I understand, thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Hao immediately called Xiao Qianxi.
The phone rang for a long time before it was connected.
Xiao Qianxi cried on the other end of the phone: "Hello."
"Where are you?"
"I'm fine."
"It's okay, why are you crying? I'll find you wherever you are."
Xiao Qianxi sobbed: "Xu Lin told you, Xie Qiao and I were at the Lotus Pond Moonlight."
"Okay, wait for me there."
Qin Hao drove to the Beiqing campus. On the east hill near Chunyuan, there was a pavilion surrounded by a lotus pond. Zhu Ziqing's "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond" describes the scenery here.
From a distance, Qin Hao saw Xie Qiao handing a tissue to Xiao Qianxi.
"Um... Lao Qin, I'll leave Qianxi to you. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Xie Qiao left tactfully.
Qin Hao walked up to Xiao Qianxi and teased her deliberately: "Why are you still crying? The water in this lotus pond will become salty soon."
"How annoying! You bully me too." Xiao Qianxi rolled her eyes at Qin Hao while sobbing.
Qin Hao sat next to Xiao Qianxi, put his arm around her shoulders, and said softly, "Okay, don't be angry anymore. I'll help you teach her a lesson later."
Xiao Qianxi pursed her lips, looked directly at Qin Hao, and said faintly: "There are four people in our dormitory. If you were asked to choose again, who would you choose?"
Well, here comes the fatal question.
Qin Hao said seriously: "First, exclude Xu Lin, he is more manly than me. Secondly, exclude Xie Qiao, he is not my type."
"Who will you choose between me and Wang Ying?"
Before Qin Hao could continue to show off, Xiao Qianxi asked anxiously.
"Of course it's you."
Xiao Qianxi pouted and said, "Wang Ying is so nice, Miss, she is beautiful and has a good temperament. If you marry her, you may be able to work less for twenty years."
"What are you thinking about? Am I the kind of person who needs to rely on women to get to the top?" Qin Hao said with a straight face.
"Then besides being pretty, I don't have any other advantages. Why do you like me?"
Qin Hao blinked and said seriously: "You are underestimating yourself. Besides being beautiful, you also have a great figure."
Xiao Qianxi looked at Qin Hao's evil smile, feeling embarrassed and annoyed: "You are such a frivolous person, I am serious when I talk to you."
Qin Hao grabbed Xiao Qianxi's chest-beating hand and held her in his arms: "Okay, don't be angry anymore. In this world, the only thing we can't change is our birth. But there are gains and losses. Our starting point is low enough, so every time we achieve a little success, we can be happy for a long time."
"Being born in a family like Wang Ying, she must have her own troubles, but she is just better at hiding them than you."
Xiao Qianxi lay on Qin Hao's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, feeling inexplicably at ease: "What troubles could she have?"
"You've probably watched TV dramas about wealthy families. Maybe Wang Ying is worried right now. Her parents want to find her a suitable match for her."
Xiao Qianxi's eyes lit up: "If that's the case, then I'll feel balanced. At least I can be with the person I like."
"Are you not angry anymore?"
"Ah."
"Then I'll take you to a big dinner?"
"Okay, I want to eat seafood buffet."
"Come on, let's go teach the boss a lesson."
As soon as they got in the car, Xiao Qianxi suddenly asked, "Could it be that Wang Ying likes you?"
Qin Hao almost stopped the car with his foot.
"What does this have to do with anything? How could you have such an idea?"
Xiao Qianxi said sourly: "Then why did she invest 800,000 yuan in you so easily in the first place?"
Qin Hao pinched Xiao Qianxi's smooth cheeks and said, "Are you questioning my ability? Wang Ying invested 800,000 yuan, and now the return is over 10 million yuan. Such a generous return rate is an epic record even in Wall Street investment banks."
"But."
"Don't say buts. Although your husband, I am an excellent person, not all women like me. Don't think too much." Qin Hao tapped Xiao Qianxi's forehead lightly.
Xiao Qianxi covered her forehead and said angrily, "Who is your wife? I never said you would marry me."
"Really? Who do you want to marry?"
"Hmph, if you don't want to get married, go back to Mount Emei and become a nun."
Qin Hao gave a wicked laugh: "Oh, Master, just obey me."
"Giggle~~~"
Xiao Qianxi burst into laughter and said, "Old monk, please drive quickly. I am hungry."
……
From that day on, Xiao Qianxi never returned to Dormitory 213. She also avoided Wang Ying when meeting Xie Qiao and Xu Lin. Unless they were in class, she would deliberately avoid any occasion where Wang Ying was.
At first the students didn’t notice it, but after a while, some people noticed something.
Wang Ying and Xiao Qianxi are well-known beauties in the entire literature department. They attract countless eyes wherever they go. Such abnormal behavior immediately caused gossip among many classmates.
As the roommates with the best relationship with them, Xie Qiao and Xu Lin were naturally asked about them many times.
Xie Qiao and Xu Lin naturally tried their best to cover up this.
But this leaves enough room for imagination for those who like to tinker with the idea.
Combined with the people around Wang Ying and Xiao Qianxi, a post was born that was enough to detonate the Shuimu Beiqing Forum.
"The two most beautiful girls in the Department of Literature are jealous of each other and are enemies over the talented student in the Department of Computer Science."
Two women are competing for a husband, and the target is the well-known founder of Yiguo. It is impossible for such a content not to be popular.
"I was wondering why they suddenly stopped talking to each other when they had such a good relationship before. It turns out they were trying to steal a man."
"Tsk tsk, Wang Ying usually looks as calm as a chrysanthemum, but I didn't expect that she would actually steal her best friend's man."
"What's so strange about that? Qin Hao's qualifications are there. He's still a sophomore in college and his net worth has exceeded 100 million. Who wouldn't be confused by such a man?"
"That being said, Xiao Qianxi's position is really precarious. Wang Ying's looks and temperament are not inferior to hers, and her family conditions are also better than hers."
In Dormitory 213, Xu Lin cursed at his laptop screen.
"These people really have nothing to do after eating. What a mess."
Xie Qiao came over curiously: "What's wrong?"
Xu Lin subconsciously looked in the direction of Wang Ying. Seeing that she didn't come over, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then secretly winked at Xie Qiao.
Xie Qiao understood and moved closer to the computer screen to take a look at the content of the post.
"This is not nonsense."
After saying that, Xie Qiao was about to pick up the keyboard and fight the OP for eight hundred rounds, but was stopped by Xu Lin.
"If you can't explain it clearly to these people, it will only make things worse."
"What should we do? We can't just stand by and watch them slander Qianxi and the eldest lady like this, right?"
Xie Qiao spoke quickly, which caught Wang Ying's attention: "Who is slandering me?"
Xu Lin glared at Xie Qiao, who shrank his neck.
Wang Ying just flipped through the post and said, "Boring."
Then he went back to his bed and lay down to read.
Xie Qiao and Xu Lin looked at each other for a while: "No, Miss, is this your reaction?"
"What else?" Wang Ying said lightly.
Xie Qiao was indignant: "How can they make up rumors without any basis like this..."
Wang Ying continued flipping through the book: "Aren't rumors groundless? Even if there is irrefutable evidence, it's still called a rumor. These people are just here to watch the fun. The more you pay attention to them, the more excited they get."
Xu Lin disagreed: "But gossip can kill people. If we let them continue like this, people who don't know the truth will just think it's true."
After saying that, Xu Lin took out his cell phone: "No, I have to call Lao Qin. He knows how to deal with these things."
Wang Ying hesitated for a moment but did not stop Xu Lin.
As a result, the phone rang for a long time but was not connected.
"Maybe Lao Qin is busy. Why don't we call Qianxi first? She probably doesn't know what happened yet." Xie Qiao suggested.
When Wang Ying heard Xiao Qianxi's name, she paused for a moment while flipping through the book, but quickly regained her composure.
At this time, Xiao Qianxi was also wondering why there were always people looking at her with sympathy.
This sympathetic look made her very uncomfortable.
"Hey, Xu Lin, what...Okay, I'll be right over."
Xiao Qianxi hesitated for a moment, but finally walked towards the girls' dormitory building.
213 Dormitory.
With the arrival of Xiao Qianxi, the atmosphere in the dormitory became a little strange. Xie Qiao and Xu Lin were no longer as enthusiastic as usual. They were carefully observing the changes in Xiao Qianxi and Wang Ying's expressions, fearing that they would start quarreling again if they disagreed.
"Xie Qiao, where is the post?"
In the end, it was Xiao Qianxi who broke the silence.
Xie Qiao woke up from his dream and put the laptop in front of Xiao Qianxi.
"Don't be angry, Qianxi. Those people are just talking nonsense..."
Xie Qiao gave Xiao Qianxi a shot of prevention in advance.
Xiao Qianxi said nothing as she flipped through the posts. It was impossible to tell whether she was happy or angry from her expression.
Seeing that Xiao Qianxi remained silent, Xie Qiao and Xu Lin became more and more uneasy. They were not afraid that Xiao Qianxi would be angry, but they were afraid that Xiao Qianxi would take his anger out on Wang Ying. Their relationship was already very tense, and if they quarreled again, they might really become enemies.
Fortunately, after reading the post, Xiao Qianxi simply said, "Boring."
Xie Qiao and Xu Lin just breathed a sigh of relief, but they saw Xiao Qianxi staring at Wang Ying for a long time with a meaningful look, and then quickly left the dormitory.
Just this one look made Xie Qiao and Xu Lin's nerves tense.
"Xu Lin, Qianxi can't really think that Wang Ying wants to steal her boyfriend, right?" Xie Qiao whispered.
Xu Lin subconsciously looked at Wang Ying and his lips twitched. Although Xiao Qianxi didn't say anything, judging from her reaction, she might have really regarded Wang Ying as an imaginary enemy.
"Why don't we let Wang Ying have a good talk with Qian Xi?" Xie Qiao suggested.
Xu Lin rolled his eyes: "Do you think that with your personality, you can bow to Qianxi? Especially for such a ridiculous reason?"
Xie Qiao agreed. If Wang Ying could say something softer, her relationship with Xiao Qianxi wouldn't have become so strained.
……
At the same time, after leaving Dormitory 213, Xiao Qianxi drove his Audi all the way to the Peking University Tsinghua Resources Building.
At this time, Haoran Technology was no longer the place where employees' workstations were not fully occupied. Not only the office area, but also the conference room, tea room, and reception room were crowded.
Yigoo’s current business volume has far exceeded that of some large enterprises, and there is an endless stream of merchants actively coming to it to seek cooperation.
"Hello ma'am, do you have an appointment?"
The lady at the front desk asked with a smile.
Xiao Qianxi hesitated for a moment, and Liu Qiangdong happened to come out of the office next door.
"Ms. Xiao, you are here to look for Brother Qin, right? I am looking for him too, so let's go together."
The lady at the front desk naturally knew Liu Qiangdong, so she didn't try to stop him.
In the conference room, Qin Hao was holding a target meeting for the next quarter with the company's leadership. Everyone was accustomed to Liu Qiangdong's arrival, but Xiao Qianxi had never seen most of the executives and thought he was Liu Qiangdong's secretary.
Unexpectedly, after seeing Xiao Qianxi, Qin Hao put down the oil pen in his hand and walked up to Xiao Qianxi.
"what happened?"
Xiao Qianxi forced a forced smile: "Nothing, I couldn't get through to your cell phone, so I just wanted to come over and take a look. I hope I didn't disturb you?"
"Why bother you? Why don't you just sit down for a while and wait for me for ten minutes. I'll be done in no time."
"Ah."
Xiao Qianxi left the office obediently. Most of the company's executives were young people under 30 years old, and they started to make a fuss.
"Ahem, what are you all doing? You all act like you've never had a girlfriend."
After hearing Qin Hao admit in front of so many people that she was his girlfriend, Xiao Qianxi's mood improved a little, but the threat posed by Wang Ying to her was still there.
Ten minutes later, Qin Hao walked out of the meeting room, and the other executives began internal discussions to break down the goals and tasks left by Qin Hao.
"Let's go, it's almost time for dinner. I'll take you to eat something delicious. If you have anything to say, let's talk after we're full."
Xiao Qianxi asked curiously: "How do you know I have something to tell you?"
"You haven't been to the company for eight hundred years. If you come here suddenly, there must be something wrong. Besides, your eyebrows are almost furrowed together. How can I not see it?"
Qin Hao put his arm around Xiao Qianxi's shoulders, and the two of them went to a nearby restaurant.
While the food was being served, Xiao Qianxi talked about Shuimu Beiqing's post again. However, when she finished speaking, Qin Hao still looked as if he was waiting for the next words.
"How do you know I have something else to say?"
“That’s called empathy.”
Qin Hao grabbed Xiao Qianxi's delicate little hand and said seriously, "If it's just a post, it's not enough to make you panic. Is it because of Wang Ying?"
"Well, actually, these days, I carefully recalled Wang Ying's attitude towards you and the way she looked at you, and I always felt that something was not right." Xiao Qianxi frowned.
"So? Do you think you are not as good as her, or are you afraid that I can't control myself?"
"I..." Xiao Qianxi was speechless for a moment.
