Chapter 456: Visiting Microsoft Branch
In fact, Zhuang Zhizhong had this idea when he saw Shi Qingxue for the first time.
Now that Gu Xiaoyun also supports him in doing this, he no longer has any worries in his heart.
"Yes, Mom, I understand. If I can really marry Shi Qingxue, our family will become rich."
Then, Zhuang Zhizhong asked again: "Who is the man who came with Shi Qingxue?"
Gu Xiaoyun looked disdainful and said, "He is Xiaoxue's classmate. Xiaoxue was going to Beijing for a trip, and he followed her with a licking face. He must be a toad wanting to eat swan meat. It's okay. He's just a brat who just graduated from high school. Are you going to lose to him?"
"Tsk, I thought it was someone else. Turns out it's just a bootlicker. Don't worry, Mom, I will definitely get him."
So what if I was in love with Shi Qingxue in high school?
It's not like he hasn't poached other people's employees before. With his image as a top student, he was able to thrive in college. Now that he has started working, he has climbed to a middle-level management position within a year.
A man as outstanding as him is never short of beautiful women around him. The reason why he is not in a hurry to get married is that he wants to plan his life well.
After all, if you have a bad stomach and can just eat free food, why should you struggle so hard?
What's more, with Shi Qingxue's looks and figure, marrying her would give me both wealth and beauty. Just thinking about it makes me happy.
Seeing Zhuang Zhizhong being so understanding, Gu Xiaoyun smiled and said, "The Su family is now very powerful. They have developed very well after immigrating to the United States. I heard that their assets are worth tens of billions. Even Xiaoxue's mother is now the president of a large company and is very rich. You have to work harder!"
"OK."
Zhuang Zhizhong washed a plate of dates and brought it to the living room. He said to Shi Qingxue attentively, "Xiaoxue, these are large gray dates from the northwest. They have thick flesh and small cores, and they are good for beauty and skin. You should try them now."
Seeing Zhuang Zhizhong trying to sit between him and Shi Qingxue, Lu Yiming said unhappily, "Do you think Shi Qingxue is not pretty enough? I think Shi Qingxue is very pretty and doesn't need any beauty treatments at all."
When Zhuang Zhizhong heard this, he was immediately shocked.
Damn, this is a very high level of dog-licking.
However, Zhuang Zhizhong was no pushover. He relied on the fact that he was a distant relative of Shi Qingxue and immediately scolded her in a tone of "I am a family member": "We are family members talking, is it your turn to interrupt?"
When Shi Qingxue heard Zhuang Zhizhong scolding Lu Yiming, she immediately became unhappy. However, just as she was about to speak, Lu Yiming secretly touched her arm, signaling her not to speak. Shi Qingxue thought that Lu Yiming was afraid that she would have a conflict with her so-called relatives, and was protecting her, and she was immediately moved. After all, it is hard not to have a good impression of a man who would rather be scolded than protect a woman's image.
She quietly moved closer to Lu Yiming and sat down next to him. Zhuang Zhizhong had no choice but to sit opposite him.
Although the first move didn't work, Zhuang Zhizhong wasn't discouraged. He said, "Xiaoxue, how did you do in the college entrance examination? I've been in the academic circle for many years, and I have some connections to the top scientific research institutions in China. If your college entrance examination score is just a few points short, tell me and I'll help you find some connections. I can't guarantee you will get into the top institutions, but it's easy to get into the first-tier institutions."
Because Zhuang Zhizhong had just scolded Lu Yiming, Shi Qingxue no longer had any favorable impression of Zhuang Zhizhong, so she immediately said expressionlessly, "Thank you for your concern. I will be admitted to Fu Ri University."
"hiss……"
Zhuang Zhizhong originally wanted to show off his connections to Shi Qingxue to let her know how good he was, but he was caught off guard. He didn't expect Shi Qingxue to be recommended to Fu Ri University.
However, he immediately changed his expression and said, "I didn't expect that you were not only beautiful but also so good at studying in elementary school."
"I heard from my mom that this is your first time in Beijing, right? It's still early, I'll take you to visit the Forbidden City."
Shi Qingxue wanted to leave, so she said, "No need, right? We'll just sit for a while and then leave."
Gu Xiaoyun quickly poked her head out of the kitchen and said, "Why are you leaving? Have dinner here. Let your cousin take you out to play for a while, and then come back to have dinner. Stay at your aunt's place for a few days."
Shi Qingxue was so frightened that she quickly said, "There's no need to stay."
Zhuang Zhizhong smiled and said, "Let's go out and play first. I have a car anyway, I'll take you for a ride."
Then, he looked at Lu Yiming provocatively and said meaningfully: "A car is an extension of a man's power. If a man doesn't have a car of his own, he is a failure. Classmate, don't you agree?"
Lu Yiming nodded slightly and said, "Yes."
Lu Yiming really agrees with the argument that cars are an extension of a man's power, because that is the truth. In fact, weapons are the ultimate romance for men, but guns are banned in China now.
Zhuang Zhizhong thought that Lu Yiming didn't understand the trap he had set, and he was immediately very proud of himself. He said to Lu Yiming, "Do you like cars?"
Lu Yiming said seriously : "It's okay, I like them very much. Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Ferrari, Porsche, etc. are all good. But mass-produced cars are not interesting. If you want to buy one, you have to buy a limited edition customized one. It's unique and you will feel it when driving it."
Zhuang Zhizhong's brain froze for a moment when he heard what Lu Yiming said. He said, "Young people are really good at bragging. Any custom-made car of these brands costs several million."
Although Zhuang Zhizhong could not afford any of these cars, he still read car magazines frequently. At least he knew the approximate prices of some famous supercars.
Lu Yiming was speechless: "Ah? Really? I don't really care about the price, sorry."
When he buys things now, he only considers whether he likes them or not, and rarely asks about the price. Anyway, there are not many things he cannot afford.
But in Zhuang Zhizhong's eyes, he felt that Lu Yiming must be the kind of little brat who was ignorant of the world and could only brag, and had no idea of the cruelty of this society.
Can you even dream of a customized luxury car?
Zhuang Zhizhong suddenly felt disdainful, and then secretly glanced at Shi Qingxue.
If I can get this guy, I can buy Ferrari and other cars at will.
It’s exciting just to think about it!
Zhuang Zhizhong stood up and said, "Let's go to the Forbidden City. Cousin, the Toyota Camry I just bought last month cost more than 300,000 yuan, but I bought it with a loan, without spending a penny from my family!"
Shi Qingxue thought that she had come to Beijing on a Gulfstream plane worth hundreds of millions of dollars, so she immediately said perfunctorily: "Oh, cousin is really amazing."
Toyota Camry, which is the later Camry, has a displacement of 2.2 liters and a shocking price of 320,000 yuan.
When they arrived at the door, Zhuang Zhizhong courteously invited Shi Qingxue to sit in the passenger seat. He didn't want Lu Yiming to follow him, and was thinking of finding an excuse to ask Lu Yiming not to go, but Lu Yiming consciously opened the back door and got in, then said: "The handling of this car is still average, why don't you buy a Mitsubishi? I think Mitsubishi is better than this. I saw one in Baiyun City, and it was only 510,000."
"talent……"
Zhuang Zhizhong was speechless. "Little brat, do you know how much money five hundred and ten thousand is?"
For the houses in this community, you can buy two for 510,000 yuan!
Hey, young people nowadays, do you really think it is so easy to make money? They can't even take out a hundred yuan from their own pockets, but they always think that hundreds of thousands of yuan are a small amount of money.
Lu Yiming said: "Yes, I think that car is good. Did you buy this one because you can't afford that car?"
Zhuang Zhizhong was very angry when he heard this and said, "You are talking nonsense! Who said I can't afford it? I just don't like that car! That car has a small displacement, only 1.5 liters of engine, but mine has 2.2 liters! Displacement is the hard truth, don't you understand?"
"Oh, I see."
Lu Yiming nodded slightly, then sat in the back row and said nothing.
As if to prove that the 2.2-liter engine is indeed better than the 1.5-liter engine, Zhuang Zhizhong drove very fast all the way.
The roads at that time were not asphalt roads like those in later generations. Not only were they paved with cement, but some places were also bumpy. When he arrived at the Forbidden City, Lu Yiming almost vomited.
Lu Yiming got out of the car and said bluntly: "This car is really rubbish."
Zhuang Zhizhong sneered and asked, "Do you have such a rubbish car?"
Lu Yiming said honestly: "No."
"That's it!"
Zhuang Zhizhong said with great enthusiasm: "We should first solve the problem of whether there is a product or not, and then solve the problem of whether it is good or not. Young people, be down-to-earth ."
Lu Yiming took a few deep breaths and said, "Okay."
Shi Qingxue's face turned pale. Lu Yiming saw a small shop nearby and quickly went to buy a bottle of water. He handed it to Shi Qingxue and said, "Take a sip. You'll feel better."
Zhuang Zhizhong felt even more disdainful when he saw Lu Yiming licking like that.
Licking the dog, licking the dog, getting nothing!
He directly bought a bottle of the most expensive drink in the store and said to Lu Yiming: "Who still drinks mineral water in this day and age? Coffee is the choice of the upper class."
Lu Yiming said: "Why don't you buy one for us too?"
"If you want to drink it, go buy it yourself. We are not familiar with each other. Who said I didn't buy it from Xiaoxue? I just bought a sip and took a sip to see if it has expired!"
While talking, Zhuang Zhizhong quickly bought a bottle of coffee and handed it to Shi Qingxue. He secretly sighed that Lu Yiming's licking skills were amazing and almost led him into trouble.
Shi Qingxue rinsed her mouth with the mineral water Lu Yiming gave her, then handed the coffee to Lu Yiming and said, "Drink it."
Lu Yiming picked it up and drank it without saying a word.
“Hey you…”
Seeing this scene, Zhuang Zhizhong felt very unhappy.
I bought this for Shi Qingxue, why the hell did you drink it?
However, before he could think of what to say, Lu Yiming had already finished the bottle of coffee.
"Oh, it's delicious."
Zhuang Zhizhong already knew that Lu Yiming must be very unbalanced now, so he was picking on him. But he didn't care. After all, in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks were paper tigers.
I am a top student at Shuimu University. I own a house and a car. What can you, a little kid who just graduated from high school, use to fight with me?
He was not in a hurry at all. Poaching is a technical job. It is stupid to just rush in and snatch the talent away. He was a very patient person.
"Xiaoxue, are you feeling better? If we go out of this alley, we will reach Chang'an Street. We can walk there and reach the Forbidden City."
Shi Qingxue said weakly: "Well, okay."
After walking for more than ten minutes, when we were almost at the entrance of the Forbidden City, a few people suddenly greeted Zhuang Zhizhong.
"Senior Zhuang Zhizhong."
Zhuang Zhizhong took a closer look and found that they were his juniors from Shuimu University, so he said enthusiastically, "Hello."
"Senior, I didn't expect to meet you here."
"Senior, I heard that you are now working at Microsoft's Xiaguo headquarters? That's amazing, you are worthy of being the student union president."
"Senior, we will be seniors next semester and will have internships soon. Can you take us to Microsoft to have a look?"
"It would be even better if we could get an internship at Microsoft. I can pay for it."
Several people surrounded Zhuang Zhizhong, looking excited and chattering, making Zhuang Zhizhong really enjoy the feeling of being the center of attention.
Shi Qingxue asked curiously, "Do I have to pay for the internship?"
The idea of working for a living was beyond her imagination.
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Of course, ordinary companies don't have such good things, but large companies, especially multinational companies, are different. For a world-renowned company like Microsoft, being able to intern there is like being gilded with a layer of gold. When you actually go to look for a job, it will be much easier than others."
Shi Qingxue said in surprise: "Huh, it's very similar to the routine of studying abroad."
Lu Yiming said: "That's right, there is no difference in essence."
Only then did Zhuang Zhizhong's younger classmates notice the presence of Lu Yiming and Shi Qingxue.
"Senior, who are these two?"
Zhuang Zhizhong introduced: "This is my distant cousin, and this is my distant cousin's high school classmate."
What Lu Yiming said just now was originally what Zhuang Zhizhong wanted to say, but now Lu Yiming has to pretend to be saying it, which makes Zhuang Zhizhong very unhappy.
He looked at Lu Yiming with a bad face and said, "It seems you understand a lot?"
However, Zhuang Zhizhong was not communicating with Lu Yiming when he said this. He didn't even wait for Lu Yiming to speak, and said to Shi Qingxue with a smile: "How about after we visit the Forbidden City, I will take you to the Microsoft headquarters where I work?"
Shi Qingxue didn't want to go, so she said, "Why don't we wait for a chance later? I'm afraid we won't have enough time."
Zhuang Zhizhong was eager to show off in front of Shi Qingxue, and of course he didn't want to give up, so he said, "Actually, there's nothing to see in the Forbidden City. It only takes half an hour to visit. And anyway, I have a car, so it's very convenient to go anywhere. It won't take long."
In order to accompany Zhuang Zhizhong to visit Microsoft, several of his younger classmates also bought tickets to visit the Forbidden City.
Afterwards, these people called a yellow Daihatsu van taxi and followed Zhuang Zhizhong to Microsoft's Xiaguo headquarters.
Zhuang Zhizhong took them to get temporary work badges, and then walked into Microsoft's Xiaguo headquarters.
Along the way, Zhuang Zhizhong ignored everyone else and said to Shi Qingxue very enthusiastically: "Xiaoxue, this is Microsoft's Xiaguo headquarters. Only the real elites can come here. I don't know how many graduates from Shuimu and Jingda are rejected by Microsoft every year."
The current intention is obviously to secretly belittle Lu Yiming's "value".
After all, even students from Mizuki and Kyoto University may not be able to get into Microsoft, let alone graduates from Furi University.
At this point, Zhuang Zhizhong looked at Lu Yiming again and asked, "I guess you should have been admitted to university, right? What are your plans after graduation? If you want to enter some multinational companies, you should start working hard now. You know, if you want to have a smooth life, you have to plan ahead. Otherwise, if you waste your time in college, your future life will be difficult. Of course, don't even think about companies like Microsoft, because it's not a place you can get in just by working hard. Those who can enter Microsoft are all geniuses."
Lu Yiming said: "That does make sense , but I'm not interested in working for others."
Zhuang Zhizhong despised Lu Yiming even more in his heart. He was always talking nonsense and boasting. He was indeed a high school student who had never seen the world.
Then he condescendingly lectured Lu Yiming: "Your idea is wrong! The most important thing for a person is to be down-to-earth and never aim too high. If you don't work for others, how will you make a living? Are you still thinking of starting your own business? This kind of thing is not as easy as you think. The right way is to find a job first and settle down your life."
The more Zhuang Zhizhong spoke, the prouder he felt. His words were full of superiority, but his face showed an expression that said, "This is all for your own good."
Zhuang Zhizhong's younger classmates also agreed with what he said and tried to persuade Lu Yiming.
"In this day and age, what do you want to do after graduation if you don't work for others?"
"Where will the money come from if you don't work?"
"Young man, don't think too much."
"Listen to what you say, senior. This is for your own good."
"Look at the environment at Microsoft. I am happy to work overtime here!"
"You didn't graduate from a top-tier university, so they may not want you if you want to work here."
Shi Qingxue was a little angry when she heard this. She was about to retort, but Lu Yiming pulled her aside and whispered to comfort her, "It's just a small matter. There's no need to be angry."
But Shi Qingxue's lips were still pouted. She felt very uncomfortable when someone said that about Lu Yiming.
Zhuang Zhizhong saw Shi Qingxue's angry expression with her lips pursed, and he became more confident that things would work out. He thought about continuing to work hard and continue to undermine Lu Yiming's image in Shi Qingxue's mind, so that she would know that after leaving high school, there are many talents out there who are better than Lu Yiming.
For example, he, Zhuang Zhizhong!
Just wait until the two of them quarrel, then take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in...
Zhuang Zhizhong was already happily thinking about how to get a good son-in-law.
As they were talking, they had already entered the work area of Microsoft's Xiaguo headquarters building. When they saw the spacious and bright office space, their eyes were full of envy.
“It would be nice if I could come here to work.”
"Even if you just come in and sweep the floor, it's an honor."
The modern glass curtain wall and warm layout embody a sense of technology and humanistic care everywhere, which made several younger classmates very excited.
At this moment, Wu Shihong, general manager of Microsoft's Xiaguo headquarters, walked out of his office holding a document. When he saw a group of people suddenly appear in the quiet company, an expression of surprise appeared on his face.
