Chapter 144 Revenge Consumption (23)

"Husband, you are back."

When Yang Xue heard the door open, she ran over with joy on her face.

"MUA~"

Su Mingzhe hugged his girlfriend and came to the sofa. He missed her very much after not seeing her for a day.

Yang Xue buried her head in her boyfriend's arms. After a while, she suddenly raised her head, which scared Su Mingzhe:
"Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

Yang Xue raised her head with a serious expression, her eyes full of disbelief, and asked her boyfriend:

"Honey, where did you go today? Why do you smell like another woman's perfume?"

Su Mingzhe replied calmly:

"You're going to a cocktail party today, so you're bound to drink with others, dance, etc. It's normal to smell a little perfume."

Yang Xue, however, looked unhappy. She turned over and left the man's arms, and pulled the man up: "Go wash up quickly. If you touch other women outside in the future, don't touch me when you come back."

When Su Mingzhe came out of the shower, he saw that his girlfriend still looked a little unhappy, so he hurried over to continue coaxing her.

"Wife, don't be angry. The weather is so hot now. If women don't wear perfume when they go out, they will smell like sweat. You are naturally beautiful and you smell good, but you should also be considerate of them as ordinary women."

"Pooh!"

Yang Xue was completely broken by Su Mingzhe's words. She couldn't laugh, nor was she a slave. She could only roll her eyes to show that she was still angry:

"Why do you have so many drinking parties recently? Every time you come back, your mouth smells like alcohol and your body smells like women's perfume. It smells terrible."

Su Mingzhe quickly spread his hands and explained:

"We have just been released from lockdown, and everyone has been staying at home for months. The rich have recently been engaging in 'revenge consumption', so there are more and more cocktail parties."

An expert in later generations said: There will be retaliatory consumption after the lockdown is lifted.

As a result, ordinary people collectively gave him the middle finger.

In fact, what this expert said is correct.

It’s just that the experts got the target audience wrong.

Ordinary people don’t have the money to engage in retaliatory consumption.

If you want to engage in revenge consumption, the first requirement is to have money.

In other words, after the lockdown is lifted, only the wealthy will engage in revenge consumption.

Ordinary people have to make a living, so they will only work hard to save money to prevent the next lockdown.

"Okay, wife, school will start next month."

Su Mingzhe didn't want to attend various parties so frequently, but that's how business works.

If you are too aloof, you will have no friends.

Yang Xue understood these principles, but every time Su Mingzhe came back from outside with the smell of women's perfume on his body, she felt uncomfortable.

After they had dinner, they went to rest.

Yang Xue felt pressured, just like any other woman, thinking that if she could feed her man at home, he would not cheat on her outside.

Su Mingzhe had no intention of cheating outside and was just happy to enjoy the tenderness and warmth of his girlfriend.

the next day.

When Su Mingzhe returned to the company, Zhou Keer took the compiled documents and asked him to sign them, preparing to buy tickets for Jay Chou's concert.

It was only 03, and Jay Chou had already become famous all over the country.

The new album released last month sold over one million copies in just one month, the highest at the time.

It can be said that Jay Chou has been leading the way for an entire era.

While Su Mingzhe was signing, Zhou Keer couldn't help but ask:
"Boss, do you prefer to sit in the front row or in the middle?"

"Just give me two adjacent tickets, but I'm afraid I don't have time to go."

Yesterday Su Mingzhe asked Yang Xue, Yang Xue likes to write recently and doesn't like to go to crowded places.

Since my girlfriend isn't going, there's not much point in going to the concert alone.

"How come you don't have time?"

Zhou Ke'er was a little puzzled: "Boss, the concert doesn't start until the evening. Even if you go back to school, it's okay for you to come out at night, right?"

"Let's talk about it then."

Su Mingzhe gave her the signed document, asked her to go out, and called Wang Qinqin in.

Compared to Zhou Ke'er who was a bit talkative and would snuggle up to her at any time, Wang Qinqin was much colder. Sometimes, she would even ignore Su Mingzhe for a whole day if Su Mingzhe didn't call her.

Zhou Keer had no choice but to go out to do some work.

Wang Qinqin walked in, with light makeup on her face, a little pink lipstick, a grey business suit, a white shirt and black stockings underneath, and the same red-framed glasses, giving people the impression of an 'ascetic' queen.

"Boss, you're looking for me."

"Make me a pot of tea."

Su Mingzhe felt that he was a bit of a masochist. Zhou K'er was clearly eager to offer herself to him, but he didn't like to order her around. Wang Qinqin wanted to avoid him, but he had the urge to do something to her.

Could it be that this woman is using the tactic of 'playing hard to resist' to seduce him?
"Sure enough, these three major illusions of men cannot be avoided even if they are rich."

The three major illusions of men are: "She likes me" at the top, "I can do it too" at the second, and "Someone calls me" at the third.

The second and third are actually controversial.

But the top spot is unquestionable.

For example, now, Su Mingzhe suspected that Wang Qinqin's character was not so cold and aloof, and she must have feelings for him, otherwise she wouldn't be so elegant and charming in front of him.

Wang Qinqin didn't expect that her boss would misunderstand her just by making a cup of tea with elegant movements. She was so upset that she couldn't express her tears.

"Boss, the tea is ready."

"Leave it here."

Su Mingzhe looked at the tea placed in front of him and put his mind at rest.

"Boss, if everything is ok, I'll leave first."

Wang Qinqin's cold voice made Su Mingzhe focus on her. Seeing that she turned around and left without waiting for him to speak, Su Mingzhe quickly called her:
"Don't leave yet. I have something to tell you. You are going to Hong Kong with me on a business trip next week."

"Boss, going to Xiangjiang? What for?"

Wang Qinqin was a little confused: "Our company doesn't have any business in Hong Kong?"

"Have you forgotten the message I gave you?"

Su Mingzhe looked at Wang Qinqin's innocent face and said unhappily, "You selected the best martial arts master, Xiahou Wu, the best martial arts master. You wouldn't forget it so quickly, would you?"

Wang Qinqin didn't understand the teasing in Su Mingzhe's words and thought that the boss didn't trust her. She retorted innocently:
"I'm not making this up. This Xiahou Wu was originally the owner of a martial arts gym in Foshan. Later, he went to Hong Kong to challenge famous masters and defeated eight masters, including the Hong Quan King, the Grappling King, the Northern Leg King, and the Weapon King. Now he's been hired by Hong Kong as a coach for the armed police. He deserves the title if he's rated number one, right?"

"I didn't say you were wrong, and I trust you very much. Aren't I going to take you to Xiangjiang to meet him?"

Su Mingzhe really wanted to meet Xiahou Wu. After all, Xiahou Wu should be most eager to win at this time.

By communicating with Xiahou Wu, maybe you can gain some insights and improve one of your skills.

"Then can I not go?"

Wang Qinqin didn't particularly want to leave Yanjing. In her impression, places outside Yanjing were all countryside, all wild and desolate, with no order, only chaos.

The most important point is that after arriving in Hong Kong, Wang Qinqin was afraid that if she was bullied, she wouldn’t be able to find anyone to ask for help.

"Don't you want to go?"

Su Mingzhe had no intention of forcing anyone to comply. He looked carefully at Wang Qinqin's expression and confirmed that this female secretary really didn't want to go on a business trip with him. He had no choice but to say, "Then think about it again. If you really don't want to, you can stay in the company and let Zhou Ke'er go with you."

Su Mingzhe wanted to take Wang Qinqin out, but he actually had some dirty thoughts in mind.

But when taking Zhou Keer out, the first thing Su Mingzhe had to consider was protecting himself.

Wang Qinqin doesn't care whether a man lives or dies. As long as she is safe, it doesn't matter to her even if Zhou Ke'er eats Su Mingzhe alive.

Afterwards, Wang Qinqin told Zhou Keer the "good news".

After hearing this, Zhou Keer was so excited that she almost jumped up.

If you want to travel with your boyfriend, you must prepare more things.

Not to mention how Zhou Ke'er happily packed her luggage, after Su Mingzhe got off work, he told Yang Xue the news that he was going on a business trip to Hong Kong.

Although Yang Xue was reluctant to let Su Mingzhe leave, she also didn't want to go to Hong Kong.

After all, the so-called "safest city in the world" and "city with the lowest crime rate" that John Bull boasted about in the past have now been known to everyone to be a joke.

Su Mingzhe said that he used to bring security forces with him: "Besides, we were accompanied by local wealthy businessmen wherever we went, so we would not go to those dangerous places, so it was still quite safe."

Yang Xue shook her head: "I'm not going anywhere. Go and come back soon. Don't make me worry."

Seeing that Yang Xue really didn't want to follow, Su Mingzhe had no choice but to ask her to help him pack his luggage, and he started to contact Xiao Ma Ge first.

This time when he goes to Hong Kong, he will first go to Pengcheng to visit Xiao Ma Ge and Mr. Ren.

In the first half of this year, due to the lockdown, the Internet suddenly showed an explosive growth trend.

The market value of Renren and Penguin has also skyrocketed, and now is around tens of billions.

At the same time, several Internet companies across the country have obtained online payment licenses.

Among them, Mr. Arima was the first to get it.

Later, Xiao Ma Ge also had one.

Su Mingzhe also has it.

Just a few days ago, Su Mingzhe asked Liang Zhaowei to negotiate with other cities. One of the conditions was to ask local leaders to help negotiate payment licenses.

In order to appease Renren and Jinlong Software and prevent the information from leaking out, the leaders in Yanjing took the initiative to help obtain the online payment license.

Now, with the payment license, the opportunity for Internet development has matured.

Su Mingzhe is preparing to develop a Chinese operating system again.

This time, Su Mingzhe is still planning to cooperate with Huawei in developing the Chinese operating system.

After all, we have cooperated once, so we will be familiar with the next cooperation.

Three days later, Su Mingzhe arrived in Pengcheng and was warmly welcomed by Xiao Ma Ge.

Penguin and Huawei are both in Pengcheng Science and Technology Park.

Su Mingzhe is also planning to develop a Pengcheng branch here, which will be mainly responsible for business docking with Penguin and Huawei.

But these are all matters for the future. This time he came to Pengcheng mainly to discuss future cooperation plans with Xiao Ma Ge and Mr. Ren.

Whether it is the Internet or the mobile phone industry, a hot and intense battle scene is about to begin.

If you don't plan ahead, it will cost more if you want to enter later.

Xiao Ma Ge is very interested in Su Mingzhe's business development plan. If Renren and Jinlong Software open branches here, he will be the first to raise his hand to welcome them.

Penguin has been developing quite well recently, but compared with Renren, it seems old-fashioned.

Renren's monthly turnover is over 1 billion, while Penguin's is only a few hundred million, a difference of several times.

As the "master of imitation", Penguin naturally wants to communicate closely with Renren to see what direction it is catching up with.

Su Mingzhe is ready to satisfy the penguin's curiosity.

After two days of communication at Penguin, Su Mingzhe learned that Mr. Ren had returned from a business trip and rushed to Huawei.

Mr. Ren has a very busy schedule every day.

An Internet tycoon once said that in order to start his own business, he was so energetic that he only needed to sleep two or three hours a day to ensure that he had enough energy to work all day.

Afterwards, netizens exposed photos of this big man sleeping in various public places.

Mr. Ren really sleeps very little. His military background has cultivated his strong will and strong sense of responsibility. He will take an extra look at many things, ask more questions, and think more about them.

Su Mingzhe is going to meet with Mr. Ren. Although the appointment was made a week in advance, it is still a big test for Mr. Ren's schedule.

Mr. Ren also attaches great importance to Su Mingzhe's visit to Pengcheng this time.

After learning that Su Mingzhe could spare the time, he squeezed out two days from his schedule to have a good talk with Su Mingzhe and discuss cooperation between the two companies.

Especially in the Chinese operating system.

Mr. Ren cares most about this matter.
