Chapter 382: Cheating?
Yanjing Airport.
Xu Cheng was pushing his luggage, looking around.
The next second, a skinny boy rushed over and gave him a bear hug.
"Mr. Xu, welcome to Yanjing~", Qiao Yiming said to Xu Cheng with a smile.
His accent was mixed with a bit of poor Beijing accent, which sounded weird and quite funny.
Xu Cheng had been in a complicated mood along the way, but the moment he saw him, he felt much more relaxed.
He patted Qiao Yiming on the back.
"Okay, Old Qiao. Stay in Yanjing City for a few days and you'll be able to speak in line with international standards."
"I'm just trying to improve my personal cultivation."
"Are you really that aware, or are you just trying to suck up to your brothers?"
"Why would I flatter you? Let's be honest. You asked me to take charge of the overall situation in Yanjing, but I haven't been idle for a single day during this period. I haven't been able to go to class on time and have missed dozens of classes."
Because Qiao Yiming has always been the general manager of the Qingzhou Weibo project and his school is in Yanjing, Xu Cheng waved his hand and sent the branch responsible for the Weibo project to Yanjing. This not only made it easier to dispatch him, but also subtly formed a pattern of Beijing and Hainan facing each other from the north.
"Don't let yourself get expelled from school. If you are expelled from school, I don't know what will happen to you back home."
"Don't worry." Qiao Yiming patted his chest confidently. "If I can pass the midterm and final exams, the teacher won't have much to say. Besides, Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, and Bill Gates all didn't finish college, so it doesn't affect their current status."
"Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates...are you trying to usurp the throne?"
"So what you said is that a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. Your boss is just a hands-off manager, and you may not be as good as me."
The two of them mercilessly insulted each other for a while before Qiao Yiming remembered something and introduced Xu Cheng to a girl standing next to him.
"This is Shan Xuechun, a sophomore in our school."
After that, he introduced Xu Cheng to Shan Xuechun.
"This is my good brother Xu Cheng, who is also my boss. He brought me together to start a business."
Shan Xuechun nodded, then stretched out her hand to Xu Cheng with a smile in her eyes.
"Hello, Mr. Xu. I never thought that the boss of Qingzhou would be this old."
Xu Cheng glanced at the girl in front of him.
He is tall and thin, wearing jeans and long boots.
She has a pretty appearance, black wavy hair, and a slightly mature temperament.
"Hello." He shook hands with Shan Xuechun casually, then found an opportunity, coughed twice, and pulled Qiao Yiming to the other side.
"Shit, what's wrong with you?"
"What...what's happening?" Qiao Yiming shrugged, seeming not to understand.
Xu Cheng put his arms around his back and glanced secretly in the direction of Shan Xuechun.
"Who is this?"
"My senior sister, she usually takes good care of me. After hearing about our relationship, she always wanted to meet you, so I brought you here."
Xu Cheng took a deep breath.
"Qiao Yiming, you ignored my words, didn't you? Didn't I tell you that I didn't want too many people to know my identity?"
Seeing that Xu Cheng was really angry, Qiao Yiming didn't dare to be naughty anymore and scratched his head awkwardly.
"This, this is different, I have a pretty good relationship with her..."
"You two have a good relationship?"
Xu Cheng glanced at Shan Xuechun again.
"What are you trying to do? You've only been in college for a month, and you're doing this behind Xia Yue's back, right?"
"ah?"
Qiao Yiming was stunned for a long time before he realized what Xu Cheng meant.
"It's not you, how can you be like this!"
Qiao Yiming looked as if he had been wronged.
"We have a pure friendship, okay? She is a member of the CCPC (Chinese College Student Programming Contest). I usually discuss computer issues with her. It's definitely not as dirty as you think."
“…”
Xu Cheng looked at him and said nothing more.
As a brother, saying this much is already the limit, and he doesn't have much power to direct other people's lives.
"I don't care what happens between you and her. Anyway, I don't want more people to know about my identity. Do you hear me?"
"Don't worry, don't worry."
Qiao Yiming smiled awkwardly and pulled Xu Cheng back.
Shan Xuechun was waiting there with her bag in her hand. When she saw the two men coming back, she asked in a joking tone.
"Yiming, you two haven't seen each other for a long time, so you must have a lot to talk about. How about I go back today?"
"ah?"
Qiao Yiming was obviously flustered, "Don't worry, Sister Chunchun... It's okay as long as you're here... Right, Old Xu?"
“…”
Xu Cheng said nothing.
Qiao Yiming winked at him anxiously.
Looking at his winking face, Xu Cheng thought he had to give him some face, so he nodded reluctantly.
"Um."
"Look, Old Xu doesn't care, so don't think too much about it, Sister Chunchun."
"Then...if you guys are going to talk about important topics later, tell me in advance so I can avoid them."
"No, no, we are all family."
Qiao Yiming circled around Shan Xuechun as if he had been freed, and even took Shan Xuechun's bag on the way.
Xu Cheng just watched coldly from the side without saying anything else.
Of course, the reason for coming to Yanjing this time was not just to meet Qiao Yiming, but mainly to deal with an important matter.
Sina, an ancient Internet giant, recently made a big move——
Launched on Sina Weibo.
Qiao Yiming's team in Yanjing immediately sensed a sense of crisis.
After all, the game between Qingzhou and Penguin has just come to an end, and another strong rival, Sina, has emerged to challenge.
He was at a loss for a moment, and Xu Cheng hurried to Yanjing.
Firstly, it can stabilize the morale of the troops, secondly, it is necessary to study and discuss response strategies, and thirdly, to inspect the situation of the branch company.
Of course, it's all official business.
Regarding Qiao Yiming's personal matter, all he could do was to give him some advice.
Who knows what this guy is thinking.
Besides...no one likes others to point fingers at their lives.
"Boss Xu, I heard Yiming mention you to me a long time ago. I didn't believe it at first and thought he was bragging to me. I didn't expect that what he said was actually true."
Shan Xuechun smiled and chatted with Xu Cheng very naturally, and there was no nervousness in her tone.
Even if Xu Cheng didn't say anything, she seemed completely unaware of the embarrassment.
"I was deeply moved after hearing your and Yiming's story. I had the same idea when I was in high school, but I only dared to think about it. I never thought you could actually do it and achieve this level."
Qiao Yiming seemed to notice Xu Cheng's displeasure, so he interrupted Shan Xuechun and interjected.
"Ahem... Well, Lao Xu, do you want to eat first, or do you want to go take a look inside the company first?"
"Let's go to the company first."
With Shan Xuechun around, Xu Cheng was not in the mood to eat.
After getting into an employee's car in the parking lot, Xu Cheng first went to take a look at the office building rented by Qingzhou Weibo.
As soon as you open the elevator door, you can see Qingzhou’s iconic emerald green leaf logo, which is a vibrant cartoon shape. It was the idea of Xu Chengti and the drawing of Yu Yu.
The office space rented is not small. After all, Weibo now has no fewer staff members than Hapi.com, and Weibo's business has already caught up with Hapi.com and is on par with it, or even surpassing it.
Shan Xuechun followed Xu Cheng on the tour. When she saw employees who were much older than Xu Cheng, she would enthusiastically call him "Boss Xu", and there was no respect in her eyes...
worship.
Shan Xuechun felt that she had seen something like this.
A group of people who were obviously much older than him were looking at him with almost worshipful eyes.
Is this the leader of Qingzhou? !
"Sit, sit. This office is reserved for you."
Qiao Yiming pushed Xu Cheng into the black boss chair, then ran to the water dispenser diligently to pour a glass of water.
"How is it? It's good enough for you to see... It hasn't been decorated yet, can you give me some advice, big boss?"
"It's all right, just do it as you think."
"become."
After saying that, Xu Cheng turned on the computer and looked at the report.
At this time, there was a knock on the office door, and a tall and thin man in his thirties pushed the door open.
Gong Zhengxiong.
At the same level as Qiao Yiming, he is also responsible for the Qingzhou Weibo project.
"Brother Xiong, I thought you were not in the company."
"Here I am."
Gong Zhengxiong smiled.
"You didn't eat, did you?"
"No, I just came here after I got off the plane."
"As soon as I saw the order, I knew you hadn't eaten, so I asked someone to go to the cafeteria and get three lunches."
He raised the three lunch boxes in his hand, and Qiao Yiming took them and placed them on Xu Cheng's table.
"You're a workaholic, so take a break first. When you're done with your work tonight, I'll take you out to eat some Yanjing specialties."
Gong Zhengxiong said that he still had some work to do, so he closed the door and said goodbye to the group.
Qiao Yiming took another lunch box and handed it to Shan Xuechun, "Senior, you must be hungry, eat something quickly."
Xu Cheng squinted his eyes, glanced at the two of them, and took the lunch box from the table.
"Old Qiao, you've only been in Yanjing for a month, why do you seem so familiar with this place?"
Shan Xuechun explained for him with a smile.
"Yiming and I both love to eat, so we often go out to eat together. Now he's almost become a Yanjing native."
"...Is that so?" Xu Cheng looked at Qiao Yiming with amusement in his eyes.
"Hehe." He covered his head and smiled foolishly, "Old Xu, I'll make arrangements for you tonight. I know a restaurant that serves really good roast duck. To use the Yanjing dialect, it's very authentic."
"Forget it tonight."
Xu Cheng was not in the mood to eat, drink and have fun at the moment.
This time, the opponent is still a behemoth...
Sina.
Although it seems like the lonely afterglow of the old gods in the later era, it should not be underestimated.
Xu Cheng is very clear about the status of Weibo on the Internet.
Although it is often ridiculed as a smelly toilet, it still ranks among the top five on several major online platforms.
And if he remembers correctly, he remembers that on the normal timeline, Weibo only appeared in front of everyone as a micro-blogging platform in mid-2011.
I didn't expect that with the flapping of his butterfly... this time it would be so advanced.
Xu Cheng took a few bites of food, ate them, and stared at the computer screen in deep thought.
I could vaguely hear Shan Xuechun and Qiao Yiming playing quietly.
"Yiming, I don't eat beef, I'll give it to you."
"Okay, give it to me."
"Here, for you."
At this time, Xu Cheng's eyes swept over the two of them silently.
He grinned wickedly, "Old Qiao, didn't I see Xia Yue said in the group the other day that she wanted to come and play with you during the National Day? Why didn't she come?"
“Ah…ah?”
Qiao Yiming was obviously stunned for a few seconds, then he glanced at Shan Xuechun and answered haltingly.
"I've been so busy lately, and even if she comes... I don't have time to accompany her... and this is such a critical year for her... don't run around everywhere..."
When Shan Xuechun heard the name Xia Yue, her expression changed noticeably and she began to eat in silence.
Qiao Yiming took the initiative to speak several times, but she ignored him.
At this time, Xu Cheng felt much calmer. He picked up his chopsticks with satisfaction and started to eat the food in the lunch box.
After lunch, Qiao Yiming got up to pack his lunch box, and Xu Cheng gave him some instructions.
"Old Qiao, go tell Brother Xiong and call the servants. We'll have a meeting later."
"Oh, okay."
At this time, he glanced at Shan Xuechun. She had never given Qiao Yiming a good look since Xu Cheng mentioned Xia Yue. She stood up, said goodbye to Xu Cheng, and said that she would go back to school first.
As soon as she left, Qiao Yiming's face became obviously distraught.
Xu Cheng patted his shoulder and said, "Come on, you two are obviously not on the same level. Listen to me, you can't beat her."
"What are you talking about? I really didn't mean that."
"Okay, you can lie to your brothers, but don't lie to yourself."
“I, I…”
Qiao Yiming stood there speechless.
The meeting will start soon.
The content is the work arrangement for the remaining two months of this year.
Xu Cheng first listened to Gong Zhengxiong talk about the routine arrangements and some of his own ideas.
"User real-name verification is the next core task. Currently, many users like to use Weibo as a real-name social platform."
"I investigated Twitter overseas and found that from 2009 to 2010, the proportion of accounts that filled out personal information increased from 31% to 69%, and from 2009 to 2010, the proportion increased from 33% to 73 %."
“This may indicate that users are happy to maintain their personal reputation and brand on social platforms…”
Xu Cheng looked at Gong Zhengxiong's PPT and nodded frequently. His eyes inadvertently passed over Qiao Yiming, but he saw that he was in a daze as if his soul had flown away.
The look in Xu Cheng's eyes when he looked at him was obviously disappointing.
After Gong Zhengxiong finished speaking, Xu Cheng nodded.
"I think there is nothing wrong with what Mr. Gong said. We can just do it according to your ideas."
He is very charming when speaking in such occasions, and he gives the feeling of being the backbone as soon as he sits there.
This kind of leadership temperament comes from training since childhood.
Gong Zhengxiong was recognized and his face was obviously excited for a while, but then he became a little worried.
"Mr. Xu, Sina..."
“You don’t need to put too much pressure on yourself.”
Xu Cheng leaned back in his chair and suddenly asked Gong Zhengxiong a question that didn't seem to be appropriate to discuss in this situation.
"Brother Xiong, do you watch the Spring Festival Gala?"
Everyone looked at each other. Gong Zhengxiong didn't know what his boss meant, so he nodded.
"Look, what's going on?"
Xu Cheng narrowed his eyes, his expression so serious that he didn't seem to be joking.
"Do you know how the directors of the Spring Festival Gala usually contact each other?"
