The year 2000, this millennium year, was definitely not a peaceful one.
The entire world was in turmoil, with countless large conglomerates, billionaires, and magnates going bankrupt, and people jumping off rooftops forming long queues.
After this year of catastrophe, not only the internet industry but also other sectors suffered significant blows. Most surviving businesses were merely struggling to survive, having lost nine out of ten lives.
There are no intact eggs beneath an overturned nest. As a reborn individual, Qin Chuan was the biggest bug in this world; he knew the entire course of events.
What was a catastrophic disaster for many was an unparalleled opportunity for him.
If handled properly, he would make a fortune and soar to unprecedented heights.
To snatch a prize from the jaws of this impending storm, sufficient capital was absolutely essential.
Therefore, Qin Chuan himself was very much looking forward to the approaching year-end.
He was eager to see how much money he had earned in the past year, as it would affect many of his business plans for the next.
Around five in the afternoon, Qin Chuan politely declined the dinner invitation from Ye Huai'an and Zhong Dongyao and drove alone to where Yang Zimo worked.
What was dinner and drinks compared to the importance of Teacher Yang?
Unexpectedly, he received some news.
Su Xuan told him that Yang Zimo had already left. This afternoon, she had been sent by her superior to another district to hand over a task.
Qin Chuan naturally didn't believe such an excuse, yet when he waited until everyone in the unit had finished work, Yang Zimo still hadn't appeared.
Qin Chuan could only dejectedly return to the laboratory.
This clearly indicated that Yang Zimo was still rejecting him. Although he had indeed found where she worked, what could he do if Teacher Yang ignored him?
Arriving at the laboratory, many people were still busy. Seeing Qin Chuan suddenly return, Alisa, wearing a white lab coat and working overtime, was overjoyed.
Qin Chuan had told her that he had business friends to meet tonight, so she shouldn't wait. Alisa had been a little disappointed, but then Qin Chuan suddenly returned.
"Why did you come back?"
Alisa ran out, still holding a pile of documents in her excitement.
Seeing Alisa so thrilled, Qin Chuan felt a pang of guilt again, feeling like a scoundrel at that moment.
Fickle, enticing one after another. Although in cases like Alisa and Ye Meiyun, it was out of necessity and some accidents, the fact remained that they were his women.
Especially Alisa; she had traveled thousands of miles from a country like America to work in China for him, which was more than just about money.
The swift launch and sale of Xiaomi mp3 wouldn't have been possible without Alisa; she was undeniably the biggest contributor.
Yet, he had provided her with very little companionship. Looking at the beautiful, sexy, and brilliant doctor before him, Qin Chuan couldn't help but take Alisa's hand and say affectionately, "I was halfway on my way, and after thinking for a long time, I felt it would be more interesting to come back and have dinner with you!"
"Meeting those partners is either drinking and eating meat or singing and getting massages, which is incredibly boring!"
"Have you had dinner yet?"
Hearing Qin Chuan's sudden affectionate words, Alisa was deeply touched and quickly shook her head, "No! I haven't had time to eat yet!"
"Then let's go, we'll go eat now!"
"I'll take you to eat something delicious, and then we'll enjoy the night view of this capital city."
Qin Chuan said.
Alisa nodded quickly, "Then I'll get ready and go!"
A few minutes later, Qin Chuan and Alisa drove away.
They chose a French restaurant. After dinner, Qin Chuan truly drove Alisa around to sightsee the capital's night view.
As the year-end approached, the capital at night was particularly beautiful, dreamlike.
During this time, Alisa held tightly onto Qin Chuan's arm, as happy as a child. Her exotic beauty and sexy, hot figure attracted envious glances from many people along the way.
Around eleven o'clock, they were both tired from their sightseeing. Carrying bags full of gifts, they chose a nearby hotel to stay, too lazy to even return to their dorm.
This night was destined to be another passionate and glorious one.
The next day, Qin Chuan and Alisa returned to the laboratory. Tomorrow was the laboratory's year-end summary day, and there were many tasks today.
Qin Chuan wisely didn't disturb them and instead drove with a car full of gifts to visit friends in the capital.
For example, Tsinghua University, Liu Dongqiang's place, and even the homes of Ye Huai'an and Zhong Dongyao.
Since he had decided to thoroughly expand his business empire, he had to build the necessary connections. It was indeed time to visit the Ye and Zhong families.
Befriending these two powerful families would only bring benefits, not disadvantages.
While Qin Chuan was busy visiting various people, at a certain unit in Chaoyang District, it was lunchtime again. Two beautiful girls walked out of the building together.
"Hey, why is it so deserted? Did you get discouraged last night after not seeing him?"
As soon as Su Xuan walked out, her eyes scanned the surroundings. Seeing that yesterday's "Tiger Head Benz" was not there, she immediately said.
"This man is too impatient, can't handle just one setback?"
Yang Zimo's expression was cold, and she remained silent.
"Sigh, it seems he's just so-so. I thought that guy from yesterday was reliable, but turns out he's nothing special."
"Zimo, in my opinion, you were right to have a spat with him. You don't need a boyfriend who is so impatient!"
"With your looks and figure, what kind of outstanding young man can't you find..."
On the way to lunch, Su Xuan chattered incessantly beside Yang Zimo, complaining about Qin Chuan.
Yang Zimo couldn't help but say, "He didn't come because he was busy!"
"It's the year-end period right now, and all industries are busy."
Su Xuan's eyes widened, and she stared intently at Yang Zimo.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Yang Zimo felt inexplicably flustered by the stare.
Su Xuan, however, wore a triumphant expression and teased, "Heh heh, I thought you were always cold and didn't care at all. Turns out your inner thoughts are completely different from your outward appearance!"
"I deliberately said a few bad things about that Qin Chuan, and you started to feel sorry for him!"
Yang Zimo realized she had been tricked and couldn't help but reach out to punish the mischievous girl, but Su Xuan, laughing heartily, dodged in advance.
After they had a bit of playful scuffle, Su Xuan suddenly said, "Zimo, after seeing your boyfriend yesterday, I felt he looked familiar. Lying alone in my rented room last night, I accidentally saw a promotional brochure left on the table, and I finally remembered why your boyfriend looked so familiar!"
"What promotional brochure? And what does my boyfriend have to do with a promotional brochure?"
Yang Zimo asked curiously.
Su Xuan, as if prepared, directly took out a beautifully designed promotional brochure from her bag and handed it to Yang Zimo, "Here, this is it!"
Upon seeing the exquisite brochure, Yang Zimo was completely enlightened.
Because the brochure Su Xuan took out was for Xiaomi mp3. A while ago, there had been a lot of buzz about Xiaomi mp3.
Not only in Longcheng but also in the capital, advertisements were widely distributed. Many people had heard of this brand, especially young men and women.
Many young people were disappointed that they couldn't buy Xiaomi mp3, blaming the manufacturer for being unreliable and eventually controlling daily sales. These past two days, another advertisement was released stating that Xiaomi mp3 would begin its second round of sales tomorrow.
"Zimo, I really didn't expect it! Your boyfriend is actually the boss of the currently popular Xiaomi mp3! I've seen his picture in several influential official media outlets, but unfortunately, I can't find those newspapers anymore!"
"However, this is enough to make my jaw drop!"
"Yesterday, after meeting Qin Chuan, I felt he was not good enough for you. Today, I feel you are not good enough for him!"
"If you don't want such a good boyfriend, I'll introduce him to my good sisters!"
