Chapter 1026 Chat
After dinner, Qin Wenhui stayed at the Song family for a while. It was getting late, so she got up and said goodbye.
Lin Yan asked Song Yangming to take Qin Wenhui home, as it was not safe for a girl to walk alone at night. As for the fact that Qin Wenhui drove here, Lin Yan didn't know whether she forgot or deliberately didn't mention it. Qin Wenhui didn't refuse and agreed with a smile.
After the two left, Song Yuanchao looked at his wife in confusion. It seemed that he knew what he wanted to ask. Lin Yan said to him, "Don't you think that Nini is a little different from our Yangyang this time?"
"What do you mean...?" Song Chaoyuan frowned slightly.
"What else could it mean? Are you stupid? Can't you see that?" Lin Yan rolled her eyes at Song Chaoyuan. Was her husband so busy with work in recent years that he lost his sensitivity to other things? How could he not notice such an obvious situation?
"Nini and Yangyang?"
"Why? You're not happy?" Lin Yan said bluntly: "We've watched Nini grow up since she was a child. If she really becomes our daughter-in-law, I'll be so happy."
"Who said I don't like it? But didn't they...?"
"You said it was before. They were still young before. It's different now. Children grow up and become more mature. Besides, Nini has been abroad for the past few years and she has not been with Yangyang. It's normal for their relationship to change now that she is back."
"Haha, that's possible." Song Yuanchao laughed. He indeed didn't notice it just now, but now that Lin Yan reminded him, he finally reacted.
"Let the children handle this matter themselves. As parents, we should not interfere too much. Intervention will only put pressure on them."
"Of course I understand this logic, but we still need to give them the opportunities they deserve. What do you think?" Lin Yan asked back.
Song Chaoyuan nodded in agreement. Seeing that her husband was okay, Lin Yan felt better all of a sudden. She now wished that her son would get together with Qin Wenhui soon. It would be perfect if the two of them could end up together.
Lin Yan was so happy that she couldn't help but run to the side, pick up the phone and dial the number. The call was quickly connected, and the person who answered the phone was Ying Caixia from Hong Kong.
"Caixia, are you home? Your Nini came to my house today. Um, she just left after dinner. My Yangyang sent her back. Let me tell you, Nini came back this time..."
Listening to the voices of Lin Yan and Ying Caixia talking on the phone, Song Chaoyuan smiled and shook his head.
Women are like this, some situations are inevitable as they get older, but Song Chaoyuan doesn't care about it. Since Lin Yan likes it, just let her do it.
Song Chaoyuan's home is not far from where Qin Wenhui lives. It only takes about ten minutes to walk there, and it is even faster to drive there.
Sitting in Qin Wenhui's car, they arrived at her home in a blink of an eye. After getting off the car, Qin Wenhui asked Song Yangming if he wanted to come in and sit down and have a cup of tea or something. Originally, Song Yangming wanted to say no, but Qin Wenhui said that she wanted to discuss something with him, so Song Yangming agreed without thinking too much.
This is also an old Western-style villa. Of course, its area is definitely not as big as Song Chaoyuan’s, but it is not small among the old Western-style villas in Shanghai.
There are fewer and fewer houses like this now. Fortunately, Song Chaoyuan and his family bought it early. Now not only are the prices much higher, but the supply is also very scarce. It can be said that even if you have money, you may not be able to buy one.
On weekdays, there are only two servants here, one is responsible for cleaning the room, and the other also works as a gardener. These two servants are a middle-aged couple who have worked in the Qin family for many years and are very reliable.
After entering the building, Qin Wenhui took Song Yangming directly to the small living room on the first floor. She said that the living room was originally a study, but Qin Zhengguo and Song Chaoyuan were different. Song Chaoyuan's study covered a large area and was not only filled with books but also served as his office.
Qin Zhengguo doesn't read much, so in addition to a row of bookshelves with hardcover books that have hardly been read on the shelves, this place also has a bar or something, which is no different from a small living room for friends to gather.
Qin Wenhui lives in Shanghai and has not made any changes to the layout of the place except hanging some of her favorite paintings in this small living room.
These paintings are all from Qin Wenhui's collection. Although they are not works by masters, they are cutting-edge authentic pieces. Displaying them here adds a bit of artistic atmosphere.
As soon as he entered, Song Yangming was attracted by several paintings on the wall. He walked to the paintings and looked at them and admired them. Song Yangming received a good education since he was a child. Not only did he learn piano and other musical instruments with Lin Feng because of Luo Lin, he also had some knowledge of calligraphy and painting.
By the way, he was also Wen Lifang's student. After Song Yuanchao met Wen Lifang, the two of them later visited each other and became good friends over time. In addition, Wen Lifang's aunt and Song Yuanchao's father had a good relationship, so the two of them got along very well with each other.
Wen Lifang's painting skills are very good. Although he does not make a living by painting, his oil paintings and ink paintings have reached a very professional level. Moreover, Wen Lifang knows a lot and has a wide range of interests. Once when he visited Song Chaoyuan's house, he met Song Yangming, who was still a child. Wen Lifang liked the sensible Song Yangming very much, and later took the initiative to ask Song Chaoyuan to accept Song Yangming as his disciple.
Of course Song Yuanchao would not refuse Wen Lifang's kindness , and he also felt that it would not be bad for Song Yangming to learn more. In this way, Song Yangming became Wen Lifang's student, and this student was different from ordinary students. When Wen Lifang accepted Song Yangming, they drank tea and Song Yangming kowtowed to Wen Lifang, which was equivalent to the traditional master-disciple relationship.
Because of this, Song Yangming learned a lot under Wen Lifang's guidance, including painting. However, Song Yangming's painting skills were not as good as his teacher Wen Lifang. His oil painting skills were just okay, but his ink painting skills were only average because of his talent, but they were much better than ordinary people.
Looking at the oil painting in front of him, Song Yangming noticed that the brushstrokes and lines in the painting were very powerful. At least the painter's level was not inferior to that of his teacher Wen Lifang, and he was even better than Wen Lifang in the use of colors.
"Why? Do you like this painting?" Qin Wenhui walked to Song Yangming, followed his gaze towards the painting on the wall and asked.
"This is a good painting. The artist is very skilled and artistic."
"Oh, how high can it be?" Qin Wenhui asked.
Song Yangming chuckled: "At least three or four stories high."
"Ha ha!"
"Hahaha!"
Both of them knew this joke, and they couldn't stop laughing at each other for a while.
"What would you like to drink? Tea or coffee?"
"Just get me a bottle of drink. Are you going to sleep after drinking this so late at night?"
"I got used to it when I was in the UK. Sometimes it was common to stay up late because of work. Now coffee no longer works for me." Qin Wenhui walked to the bar, took a bottle of drink from the refrigerator below and threw it to Song Yangming, then turned on the coffee machine, fiddled with it for a while, and made herself a cup of coffee.
Holding a cup of coffee, Qin Wenhui walked over to Song Yangming and sat down. She asked, "Aunt Lin said Uncle Song gave you a task. What have you been busy with these days? What task?"
"It's not really a task. It's a test my dad gave me." Song Yangming smiled and immediately told Qin Wenhui the analysis of the real estate market that Song Chaoyuan asked him to do. Qin Wenhui nodded to show that she understood and asked Song Yangming curiously what stage they had reached and what his opinion was.
"This is too complicated and hard to explain..." Song Yangming said with a frown.
"What? You're keeping it a secret from me?"
"It's not a secret, the point is that I'm not sure myself." Song Yangming did not hide it from Qin Wenhui, telling her that he had been working on this for days, but the more information he collected, the more uncertain he became. Because in his analysis, some things showed two different conclusions, but these two conclusions were entangled with each other, and each had its own basis and possibility. Song Yangming was a little troubled by this, and he didn't know how to come up with the final conclusion.
"In a word, just like stocks or futures operations in the financial industry, there are too many uncertain factors. Although there is the possibility of profit, there is also the risk of loss. After thinking about it, I still think it is worth investing, but the investment must control the risk and operate on the basis of risk control. In addition, this risk control must also be prepared. The ratio of input and output must be set in advance. Once the risk line is crossed, you must be prepared to withdraw. This is the safest way."
"Is it necessary? Why make it so complicated? I heard that the real estate market is very hot right now, and even a lot of capital from Hong Kong is flowing into this industry from the mainland. Not to mention the famous Li Chaoren, you know Mr. Liu, his investment in the mainland has been increasing over the years. With their vision and ability, they can see the risks, right?" Qin Wenhui couldn't help but say.
Song Yangming nodded and said, "I know this too. Maybe it's because I'm not capable enough, or maybe it's because I don't have good vision, but the conclusions I can draw are the ones I just mentioned. Besides, I can't make the final decision on this matter. I'm just completing the test my dad gave me. As for what Shenghua should do next, you have to ask my dad, or your dad."
"Hehe, that's true. Anyway, we can't interfere in Shenghua's big affairs, so we should just do our own little things first." Qin Wenhui laughed.
Qin Wenhui's words made Song Yangming laugh, and he nodded in agreement. After all, they were still far from being able to stand on their own. Song Yangming had not even taken over the work of the Si Te branch. It was still too early for him to take over his father Song Yuanchao's job, and he would need a lot of time to learn and explore in the future.
As for Qin Wenhui, she had never thought about working for Shenghua. As the eldest daughter of Qin Zhengguo, she knew very well that her younger brother Qin Wenchang would be the ultimate heir to the family business in the future, because he was her son. Moreover, she was a very strong-willed woman with her own career and ideas. Instead of competing with her younger brother for the family business, she might as well do what she likes.
As for money, Qin Wenhui has never lacked it since she was a child. In addition, Qin Zhengguo had already established a family trust fund like Song Chaoyuan. With the help of the fund, Qin Wenhui would never be able to spend all the money on food, drink and entertainment in her lifetime. So why bother herself?
