Chapter 241 Accident
After exchanging a few New Year greetings with Zhang Wanli, Qin Shaoyan hung up the phone and began to think.

It was probably purely an accident that Zhang Wanli sent him a text message. He might have seen Qin Shaoyan's name when he was flipping through the address book and sent him a message.

But after Qin Shaoyan called Zhang Wanli, he suddenly mentioned the "International College Student Summer Camp".

This was not something I said casually, but something I said specifically to Qin Shaoyan.

It is possible that someone mentioned this matter to him unintentionally, or it is possible that someone used his connections to find Zhang Wanli, but Zhang Wanli blocked them.

So when Qin Shaoyan asked Zhang Wanli if he needed a quota, he said he didn't need it.

The name of "International College Student Summer Camp" seems to be very impressive, and it is full of gimmicks.

What about exchange and study at international prestigious universities, the World Youth Summit, and the United Nations roundtable debate? It's all very high-end and fancy.

But in the eyes of truly rich and powerful people, it means nothing at all, because they have different ways of playing and are not on the same track as ordinary people.

This kind of experience-boosting thing is the favorite of those who are neither up nor down, who are eager to break away from the ordinary class and show their superiority.

In order to meet the needs of those who are eager to achieve class transition and distinguish themselves from ordinary people, a set of industries has been specially formed.

As long as you spend money, all kinds of fake associations, foundations, and charities will give you a title.

There are a lot of fancy titles, but they are actually useless. They can fool ordinary people at first, but later, with the development of Internet information, many things were exposed.

And what Qin Shaoyan is doing now is exactly what this type of people urgently need. In their opinion, the "International College Student Summer Camp" project is of great value.

In the past, everyone was focused on making money to fill their stomachs, but now that they have more money, they start to think about other things, but they don’t have the means to do this.

So after seeing the "International College Student Summer Camp", many people couldn't sit still and tried their best to get in, just to gild themselves.

In order to get one spot, everyone tried their best to use their abilities, including building relationships and making deals.

Fortunately, Qin Shaoyan used Facebook and Edward as shields, otherwise he would have received countless calls.

Qin Shaoyan immediately understood what Zhang Wanli meant by "take it easy".

Don't go too far with the quota issue, otherwise you won't get to eat the mutton, but you will get into trouble.

Individually, these people may not have much ability, but if they want to, they can still disgust others.

Zhang Wanli suddenly said this, which surprised Qin Shaoyan.

After thinking about it, I feel that Brother Zhang is a pretty good person.

When Qin Shaoyan's thoughts were wandering, the sound of continuous firecrackers came from outside the window. The colorful fireworks were reflected on the foggy glass, and the bright colors were particularly beautiful.

At this time, the Spring Festival Gala program had already begun, and Qin Shaoyan received more and more New Year greetings text messages. He was a little too busy to handle it, and had to answer the phone from time to time to receive other people's blessings.

Mother Xun Xiaohui glanced at her son and said teasingly, "You are busier as a boss than as an official?"

Qin Shaoyan quickly replied to the message while saying, "I feel much more relaxed now. If an official were still visiting the grassroots at this time, he wouldn't even have enough food to eat."

Xun Xiaohui rolled her eyes at him, "How do you know? She might be eating in some hotel."

Qin Shaoyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mom, what you said is indeed a lot, but there are also people who work steadily at the grassroots level."

"The guy who just talked to me on the phone is a director-level cadre after all. He just came home and hasn't eaten yet."

Xun Xiaohui said casually, "I don't believe it. There are no good people."

Well, although what my mother said was extreme, it also reflects the views of ordinary people in this era.

The current social atmosphere is extremely bad, and all kinds of strange events emerge one after another.

Qin Shaoyan smiled and said nothing, then began to look through the text messages on his phone to see if there was anyone he had missed.

After checking around, he found that Xiong Xiaoge was the only one who didn't send him a text message, which made Qin Shaoyan speechless.

Mr. Xiong is a little too petty.

However, Lord Qin Shaoyan was magnanimous and did not argue with Old Bear. He sent several text messages of blessing that were heartfelt, sincere, and well-worded.

I kept sending messages when there was no response from the other party. When I sent the 30th message, Xiong Xiaoge finally replied.

"If you send harassing text messages again, I will block you."

"This person is so boring." Qin Shaoyan put down his phone.

Qin Donghai also closed QQ and sat on the sofa to watch the Spring Festival Gala. When Qin Shaoyan saw that the computer was idle, he jumped up and rushed over to take the seat.

The first thing I open is the campus network to see if the website is lagging or not and what people are discussing in the popular forums.

Then check the private messages to see if there is any missing information.

After browsing for a few minutes, I found that not many people were posting in the popular square, and it seemed that the number of people online was not high either.

There is no trend of complaining while watching the Spring Festival Gala yet. After all, the quality of the current Spring Festival Gala is still quite good.

Everyone is either watching TV at home or chatting, or playing games online. No one wants to waste time on social platforms.

Qin Shaoyan posted a message using the account "Honest and Trustworthy Young Man", "Happy New Year to everyone."

He refreshed the page and found that someone had replied to him with a Happy New Year.

Qin Shaoyan was stunned when he clicked on it. The person who replied to him was Mingyue.

Seeing this familiar account, Qin Shaoyan was a little dazed for a moment. The last time he and Mingyue communicated was more than half a year ago.

He logged into QQ and sent a message to Mingyue directly, "Are you online?"

Mingyue: “Yes, (▽)”

Mingyue: "I didn't expect you to be here too."

Mingyue: "Aren't you watching the Spring Festival Gala?"

Qin Shaoyan: "I didn't expect you to be so skilled in using expressions."

Mingyue: "I have been researching this for quite a while, (#^.^#)"

Qin Shaoyan: "You are really smart. You can learn it quickly."

Mingyue: "Of course, hehe, I also recommended it to my friends, and they all liked it."

Qin Shaoyan: "That's great. I guess it will soon become a subculture."

Mingyue: "Then I don't know, anyway, it's already being used in our circle."

Qin Shaoyan: "Why are you surfing the Internet at this time? Aren't you watching the Spring Festival Gala?"

Mingyue: "(︿), I'm working overtime."

Qin Shaoyan was stunned for a moment, then quickly typed and asked, "Why are you still working overtime on New Year's Eve? Is your boss inhumane?"

Mingyue: "It's OK. This is an outsourced job I took on, so it's urgent."

Mingyue: "I was watching the Spring Festival Gala with my grandma while working on my computer and logging on to QQ. I didn't expect you to be here too."

Qin Shaoyan hesitated for a moment, then slowly typed a reply: "How have you been lately?"

Mingyue: "It's pretty good. I'm already working in an animation company owned by a teacher. I get 2,000 yuan a month."

Qin Shaoyan: "Two thousand is not much, it's hard enough."

Mingyue: "It's already good. It's not easy to find a job. I can also take on some outsourcing and earn a lot of money."

Mingyue: "I'll treat you next time we meet, hehe."

Qin Shaoyan: "Come on."

Mingyue: "You should do your best too. Let's talk tomorrow. I'm going to help grandma make dumplings."

Mingyue: "Happy New Year!"

Qin Shaoyan looked at the other party’s grayed-out QQ avatar in silence for a while, then silently closed QQ.

I felt a little sad, staring at the computer screen in a daze. "The big hammer is eighty, the small hammer is forty."

"Eighty! Eighty! Eighty!"

A line from a classic skit came from the TV, bringing Qin Shaoyan back to his senses.

He cast his gaze towards the TV screen, watching the familiar yet unfamiliar program, as if he had traveled through time and space. His expression was a little dazed for a moment, and his memory and reality overlapped in a somewhat confused manner.

In my previous life, in 2005, I was watching the Spring Festival Gala with my parents on the kang in my hometown in Northeast China.

At that time, he was carefree and full of curiosity about life.

And now he is sitting in a rented apartment in Beijing, watching the Spring Festival Gala again with his parents.

This moment is very different from that moment.

When Qin Shaoyan was deep in thought, his cell phone rang again. He glanced and found that the caller ID was Su Ran. His heart suddenly tightened.

He quickly calmed down, steadying himself and answering the phone.

"Hello." Su Ran on the other side lowered her voice, as if she was secretly making a phone call, "Lao Qin, is that you?"

"It's me." Qin Shaoyan felt a little puzzled. "Where are you? Why is your voice so low?"

"I'm at home." Su Ran whispered, "I'm afraid my parents will hear me calling you."

"Why?!" Qin Shaoyan felt strange, "Why should I be afraid of making a phone call?"

"Oh, my parents are really gossipy." Su Ran said dissatisfiedly, "As soon as I got home, they asked me if I had a boyfriend. I had a hard time answering them perfunctorily."

"If they saw me calling you, they would definitely ask you all sorts of questions, and I wouldn't be able to rest during the New Year holidays."

"For peace and quiet, I can only hide in my room and call you secretly."

"Oh." Qin Shaoyan pretended to glance at his parents sitting on the sofa, then stood up and walked towards his room.

Su Ran asked cautiously: "Well, what are you doing?"

"I'm watching the Spring Festival Gala with my parents. The skits are really interesting." Qin Shaoyan said calmly, "Aren't you going to watch it?"

"It's okay. It will be replayed tomorrow. It's the same if you watch it then." Su Ran smiled and said nonchalantly, "I just called to ask what you are doing."

"When will you return to the capital?"

"I'm in Beijing now." Qin Shaoyan replied, "This year my parents came to celebrate the New Year with me."

"Ah." Su Ran was very surprised, "Uncle and aunt are here too."

"Yeah." Qin Shaoyan heard Su Ran's tone was wrong, so he asked, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"No." Su Ran hesitated for a while, "When will your vacation end?"

"Generally speaking, we will be on holiday until the eighth day of the first lunar month." Qin Shaoyan pondered for two seconds, "If you have something to do, go back to the company early."

Su Ran hesitated for a long time, then mustered up the courage to ask, "Are you free on the sixth day of the New Year?"

"The sixth day of the new year?!" Qin Shaoyan was stunned. "Why are you asking this?"

"We are also going to work on the eighth day of the first lunar month. I want to go to Beijing on the fifth day." Su Ran said shyly, "I want to ask you to go out and play together on the sixth day."

Qin Shaoyan thought about it and said hesitantly: "I originally planned to accompany my parents to visit the scenic spots, I will take a look."

"If you're not free on the sixth, what about the seventh?" Su Ran asked cautiously.

"I can only say that this is the situation." Qin Shaoyan said after a pause, "The specific situation will depend on the circumstances."

Su Ran was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Um... I miss you."

Qin Shaoyan was shocked and blurted out, "I'll arrange the schedule for the sixth and seventh days of the New Year. In principle, it's OK."

Su Ran immediately became happy, "It's settled then. I'm going to help my mother with work. We'll talk tomorrow."

Having said that, Su Ran hung up the phone in a hurry, without giving Qin Shaoyan a chance to speak.

Qin Shaoyan felt a little amused when hearing the busy tone on his phone, and turned back to the living room.

At this time, Qin Donghai and Xun Xiaohui seemed to be staring at the TV intently, but their ears were erect.

Seeing Qin Shaoyan sitting back in front of the computer, Xun Xiaohui pretended to ask casually, "Who called just now?"

"A friend." Qin Shaoyan said casually.

"Male and female."

Qin Shaoyan suddenly became alert and calmly replied, "It was a woman, she was selling financial products at the bank, and she asked me if I wanted to buy financial products."

Xun Xiaohui seemed disappointed, "Oh, so that's the case, I thought she was your friend."

"I have a lot of friends." Qin Shaoyan said casually.

Xun Xiaohui glanced at Qin Shaoyan with dissatisfaction, "Come here, I'll tell you something."

"Mom, just tell me what's the matter." Qin Shaoyan was unwilling to go over. From his tone, it didn't sound like it was a good thing.

"Come here, it's serious business." Xun Xiaohui said sternly.

Qin Shaoyan reluctantly moved his butt and sat on the sofa.

"You should find a partner." Xun Xiaohui said earnestly, "You are not young anymore, find a partner, get married and have children as soon as possible."

Qin Shaoyan was a little speechless. People were urging people to get married on New Year's Eve. Wasn't it possible to celebrate the New Year?

"Tell me the truth, do you have a partner?" Xun Xiaohui suddenly asked.

"Ah?!" Qin Shaoyan was stunned for a moment, "No, no, I'm busy with work, how can I have time to find a partner."

"If you don't have a partner, why don't you find one quickly?!" Xun Xiaohui lectured with a stern face.

"Okay, I got it." Qin Shaoyan said perfunctorily while still thinking about the next schedule in his mind.

On the one hand, it is about how to plan the travel route for parents reasonably, and on the other hand, it is about how to find time to meet Su Ran.

Soon it was 12 o'clock midnight. After the countdown to the New Year's bell rang, my mother got up to cook dumplings.

The Spring Festival Gala is coming to an end, and everyone’s attention is no longer on the TV programs.

Qin Shaoyan slipped to the computer again and opened the campus network. After refreshing it a few times, he found that the page was stuck.

"Huh?! What's going on?" Qin Shaoyan swiped a few more times and found that there was still no improvement, so he quickly checked his network.

When he confirmed that his home network was normal, he felt something was wrong and immediately called the staff on duty.

"I'm Qin Shaoyan. What's wrong with the website?"

The staff on duty was sweating profusely, "Boss, the server keeps reporting errors, we are urgently repairing it."

Qin Shaoyan's face darkened, "Can you handle it?"

"We are trying to restart the server." the employee said quickly.

"Can it be done?" Qin Shaoyan asked sternly.

"This..." The employee hesitated, "It's a bit difficult."

"Have you contacted Mr. Zhang?" Qin Shaoyan continued to ask.

"I can't get through to Mr. Zhang on the phone, and he didn't reply to our QQ message." The employee answered with some embarrassment.

"You guys try to solve it first, I'll call Mr. Zhang." Qin Shaoyan instructed.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Shaoyan called Zhang Pingyi again, but the call didn't go through.
