You call this entrepreneurship?

Chapter 314 Night
In the evening, at the west gate of the university.

The heat of the day has not yet dissipated, and the streets and alleys are crowded with people, people getting off work and students out to eat mixed together.

Various aromas of oil smoke waft from roadside shops and surrounding residential areas, constantly stimulating people's taste buds.

Couples strolled along the streets, holding cups of milk tea and happily discussing their dinner options, exuding a youthful atmosphere.

Qin Shaoyan stared blankly at the couples walking on the street, wondering if his mentality was too mature.

Since his rebirth, although he has been trying to integrate into this era, running around, scheming with investors and competitors, all day long he has been thinking about how to use the cards in his hand little by little to gain the upper hand.

In addition, after living two lives, although his mentality seems relaxed, he is actually still the middle-aged man who has been struggling in society for many years in his later life.

Although I have experienced many vicissitudes of life in my heart, my body is still that of a young man in his prime, but I always forget this.

Occasionally when I look in the mirror I remember that I am still very young.

Even though most of the people around me are young people, it seems to be of no use.

What does this mean to me?
Age 25, 60 years of life experience?
Qin Shaoyan asked the driver Hao Dashan to find a place to park the car and walked towards the destination alone.

It was a very ordinary little restaurant with seven or eight tables, all covered in grease.

Most of the people who frequent this place are students, so the main consumption is affordable and low-priced.

As soon as he stepped into the restaurant, the owner greeted him warmly and helped him find a vacant table in the almost full lobby.

The busy waiter cleaned up the garbage and rubbed the table vigorously with a rag, asking, "What do you want to eat?"

"I'll wait for someone and order later." Qin Shaoyan thought for a moment, "First, give me two bottles of Coke, at room temperature... Forget it, give me iced ones."

Looking at the Coke just taken out of the refrigerator, a hint of cool air is constantly wafting from it.

Holding the cold bottle, I unscrewed the lid and took a big gulp of the liquid. The coolness from inside to outside dispelled the heat.

Qin Shaoyan, who has been accustomed to health preservation for many years, has long forgotten when was the last time he enjoyed a cup of cool and refreshing happy water.

This feels so good.

Qin Shaoyan was reminiscing about the old times and enjoying the feeling of returning to his youth, and the person he was waiting for had appeared.

"Sorry, I am late."

Mingyue came hurriedly and carefully pulled out a chair and sat down. There were still fine beads of sweat on her fair face and her slightly curly long hair was loose.

Still panting, Mingyue hurriedly pushed her hair behind her ears and tidied it up a little.

Today she is wearing a short-sleeved dress with black patterns, which is simple yet eye-catching.

Mingyue felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by Qin Shaoyan, and she adjusted her clothes in a panic.

"Well, have you ordered yet?"

"I'm treating you today, so of course you order the food." Qin Shaoyan looked at Mingyue with a smile.

"Ah." Mingyue was slightly stunned, "No, it was clearly said that I would treat you."

"You treated me to milk tea last time, so this time it should be my treat." Qin Shaoyan said casually, "It's even after all, it's fair and reasonable."

"No." Mingyue said seriously, "That's not how it's calculated."

She counted on her fingers and said, "Last time you gave me a T-shirt, and I gave you a cup of milk tea, so this is even."

"Hmm?" Qin Shaoyan was stunned and hesitated, "Does a T-shirt count?"

"Of course." Mingyue looked at Qin Shaoyan, "In fact, I know that it is only given to registered members of the campus network. In fact, I don't meet the requirements."

“Thank you for the T-shirt.”

Qin Shaoyan laughed dumbly, "Well, even if we're even, I'll treat you to this meal, and you can treat me next time."

"Let's split the bill." Mingyue insisted, "After all, a meal costs dozens of dollars."

Qin Shaoyan was a little confused and looked dazed for a moment.

Mingyue picked up the menu and happily recommended the food she thought was delicious. "This restaurant has good sweet and sour pork. I've been thinking about it for a long time."

"The three fresh vegetables should be delicious too. I've heard my classmates mention it, but I've never had it, so I'll order one to try."

"Sister Yang." Mingyue called to the proprietress, "Is my brother-in-law cooking today? Another plate of Mushu persimmons."

Qin Shaoyan looked at Mingyue and suddenly asked, "Do you often come to this restaurant to eat?"

"That's not true."

"I see you seem to be very familiar with this store." Qin Shaoyan asked curiously.

"I used to wash dishes in the store at night." Mingyue smiled sheepishly, "I couldn't even afford the tuition at that time, so I had to work harder."

Qin Shaoyan's heart was choked for a moment. He was speechless and just looked at the bright moon quietly.

Looking at this familiar person in front of me, I suddenly felt strange.

Now Qin Shaoyan suddenly discovered that he seemed to have very few memories of Mingyue, and he knew even less about her in his previous life.

He only knew that Mingyue had a difficult childhood and lived a hard life before she met him.

When Qin Shaoyan met her, her life had already improved. At least Mingyue never told him about her difficult life.

Mingyue never seemed to feel how hard her life was. She always faced Qin Shaoyan with a smile and showed him her sweetness.

As for Qin Shaoyan, he often complains about the problems at work and then gets warmth from Mingyue.

Mingyue felt uneasy when Qin Shaoyan stared at her, and she lowered her head shyly.

For a moment, an ambiguous and awkward atmosphere spread.

Qin Shaoyan slowly asked, "Are you still doing odd jobs now?"

"No need anymore." Mingyue said happily, "Now that I've graduated and have a job, I've also received a lot of outsourcing work, and I make more money than washing dishes."

Qin Shaoyan asked curiously, "Do you get a lot of outsourcing?"

"A lot, a lot!" Mingyue gestured exaggeratedly, "There are a lot of outsourcing projects this year, and the animation market has suddenly picked up."

"Before, I couldn't get one order a month. Now I have more than ten orders a month. I can't handle it. I don't even have enough time to sleep."

"I usually cook for myself, but now I just call the restaurant to deliver the food. It's too luxurious."

"But I did the math. If I save the time for cooking and use it to work, I can earn 50 yuan, so it's quite cost-effective."

Mingyue seemed to be particularly excited when talking about making money. Her eyes lit up and she talked incessantly.

Qin Shaoyan smiled and said, "Then let's have dinner together. Will it delay your making money?"

"It doesn't matter." Mingyue seemed particularly generous. "You can never make enough money. The purpose of making money is to live a good life."

"You can't just give up your friends for the sake of making money."

At this point, Mingyue's voice suddenly lowered, and she asked with a guilty conscience, "I remember you work in Wudaokou, right? It takes quite a long time to come here, right? Will it waste your time?"

"It's okay." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "The driver drove me here."

"Huh?" Mingyue was stunned, looking at Qin Shaoyan in disbelief, "You have a driver?"

"From the company." Qin Shaoyan said casually, "I told the company's vice president that I was out to meet an investor, so he asked the driver to drive me here."

"This is called fleecing capitalism. It's a waste if you don't take advantage of the company." Mingyue covered her mouth and laughed, "Your company's benefits are pretty good."

"Well, the boss is still a human being." Qin Shaoyan said casually, "All welfare benefits are the best in the industry, but the overtime is a bit too much."

"Would you like to consider it?"

"I'm just an animator, and I don't know anything about the Internet." Mingyue shook her head. "Although your boss is generous, he won't keep idle people."

"Besides, I have a good job now and I make a lot of money, hehe."

"Okay." Qin Shaoyan suddenly said solemnly, "The animation market is a bit abnormally hot this year. There are suddenly many animation companies, and many of them are shell companies that come to defraud subsidies."

"When you outsource work, you should be more careful not to let them default on the final payment."

Mingyue was startled, then nodded, "Don't worry, I'm very smart. If you don't pay the balance, I won't send you the PSD file."

"I have been doing outsourcing for a long time, they can't cheat me!"

Qin Shaoyan smiled, and then warned: "I'm worried that the animation craze will fade soon, and it will be hard to make money in two years. You have to make plans in advance."

"I've thought about this." Mingyue said with a bitter face, "I want to change my career but I don't know what I will do. I remembered that you mentioned last time that the gaming industry is very popular, so I want to give it a try."

"The salary of a concept artist is good, but my talent is limited, so it would be difficult to be a concept artist. Recently, I have been studying 3D models and want to try to be a 3D modeler."

“Is it easy to find a job as a 3D modeler?”

"3D is not bad either," Qin Shaoyan encouraged. "And there are many employment opportunities. Not only game companies, but also film and television post-production and architectural design industries all have demand for it."

"Is that so?" Mingyue puffed out her chest proudly. "I think my vision is very accurate. That's it. I'm going to switch to being a 3D modeler."

“I will do 3D animation and game outsourcing in the future!”

“To make a lot of money!”

Qin Shaoyan clapped his hands to join in the fun, "Come on, I wish you get rich and successful soon."

"As soon as I saw you, I knew you were destined to be rich."

"Yeah." Mingyue was very happy to be praised by Qin Shaoyan, and said proudly, "Little handsome boy, you are quite good at talking. I will definitely support you when I become rich in the future!"

"You just have a few stinky coins, what's so great about that?" Qin Shaoyan said indignantly, "You actually want to insult me ​​with money, do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"Huh?!" Mingyue was stunned for a moment.

"Boss, I want to say that you are really good at judging people."

"Hahahaha!" Mingyue almost burst out laughing.

The steaming dishes were served on the table, interrupting the laughter between the two.

The two of them enjoyed four dishes and two bowls of rice.

When it was time to pay the bill, Qin Shaoyan generously handed out a hundred-dollar bill and said, "I'll pay today."

"No." Mingyue held Qin Shaoyan's hand stubbornly, "We agreed to split the bill for dinner today."

Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "We are friends after all, so why bother to go AA? How about this, I'll treat you this time, and you treat me next time."

"No." Mingyue said seriously, "This is a matter of principle."

Qin Shaoyan froze as he watched Mingyue carefully count out the money from the old wallet and put it on the counter.

Mingyue is still so stubborn.

It was exactly as he remembered it, and it was the same way on their first date.

Mingyue insisted on going Dutch. In the environment at that time, Mingyue seemed very different and not a little woman at all.

At that time, Qin Shaoyan was still very patriarchal and felt that Mingyue's behavior was a bit unnecessary and he disagreed with it.

Now that the original scene was reappearing, Qin Shaoyan felt a different feeling in his heart.

There are not many girls who are so principled and stick to their principles.

The bright moon is still the same bright moon, but Qin Shaoyan’s mood is different now.

This lovely girl is still so beautiful.

Qin Shaoyan had not come to his senses until he walked out of the restaurant, and his eyes remained on Mingyue's face.

Mingyue felt embarrassed by Qin Shaoyan's burning gaze, "What are you looking at?"

"I'm looking at you." Qin Shaoyan replied sincerely.

"What's so good about me?" Mingyue lowered her head and pinched the corner of her clothes subconsciously. "Are you free next week?"

"Not necessarily." Qin Shaoyan sighed, "I might go to the United States."

"Going to America?!" Mingyue raised her head in surprise, and her tone seemed reluctant. "What are you going to America for?"

"I'm on a business trip and will be away for a month or two." Qin Shaoyan replied, "I have some business to deal with."

"You've been in the United States for so long, are you used to it?" Mingyue asked with concern.

"It's not my first time going there. I have colleagues there who will arrange everything." Qin Shaoyan reached out and patted Pa Mingyue's shoulder. "I will bring you a gift. What do you want?"

"No need." Mingyue quickly refused, "Things over there should be very expensive, so you don't have to spend money."

"It doesn't matter. I have quite a lot of wealth." Qin Shaoyan said generously.

"Whether you have money is your business." Mingyue still refused, "If you really want to give me a gift, give me something memorable but not too expensive."

Qin Shaoyan looked at Mingyue deeply, and suddenly smiled, "Okay."

As they were talking, they had already reached the downstairs of Mingyue's rental community and said goodbye with a smile.

Mingyue ran upstairs quickly, ran to the window, looked at Qin Shaoyan's back getting farther and farther away, and suddenly smiled.

This beautiful night.

Mingyue took out her small account book again and recorded today's expenses stroke by stroke on it.

……

Qin Shaoyan sat in the car with a smile on his face, constantly recalling the past.

Driver Hao Dashan felt that Mr. Qin was a little strange today. He kept laughing all the way and seemed to be remembering something happy.

Moreover, it seemed that Mr. Qin was still singing, but I couldn't understand what he was singing.

Qin Shaoyan, with a rosy face, returned to the company, humming a song while reviewing documents.

Zhang Pingyi walked into the president's office carrying a stack of documents. "Hey, why is President Qin back to work overtime again?"

"It would be a shame not to work overtime on such a beautiful night." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "Isn't Mr. Zhang also working overtime?"

Zhang Pingyi threw the documents on the table in annoyance, "If you hadn't assigned me so much work, I wouldn't have to work overtime here."

"If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight." Qin Shaoyan picked up the file Zhang Pingyi threw over, "Oh, it's from the campus network."

"Super Girl event planning." Zhang Pingyi sighed, "By then, there will probably be a lot of new users coming in, and the server will have to be expanded."

"I plan to let Wang Jun take charge of this event. He has a high level of skills, so it's a good opportunity to see how he performs."
