Chapter 281: It is an accident and also inevitable

There is a large sunroom outside the art gallery, which is equipped with all the necessary necessities such as stoves and ovens. It is connected to the floor heating and fresh air and can be used in both winter and summer, but it is rarely used.

Only the old men whose butts are high as the sky will think of reliving their ordinary lives in the past when they come here rarely, and win the admiring gazes of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao.

So when the good brother who had surrendered to Cao was squatting by the stove, fiddling with the firewood to control the temperature of the stove, Cao Cao was wearing an apron and flipping the spatula, and the hot oil popped and turned into wisps of white smoke.

The elder sister, who arranged for someone to drive quickly to deliver the food from the city, was thinking about how to maximize the emotional value of every detail of her behavior, while the younger sister sat quietly on a small stool with one hand on her chin and watched. Her task was to play the gentle girl that every man in ordinary life had fantasized about but could not get.

"I suddenly thought of the fish in milk soup that my father makes every Chinese New Year."

My sister is worthy of being an artist. What other words can describe her as “like my dad”? Perhaps the only one that can be used for women is “like my mom”.

Xie Jingxing smiled and took off his apron without saying a word. The wild carp was fried and then boiled, paired with tofu and a handful of green vegetables, which naturally made the soup look like milky white.

It’s the ingredients’ work, not his. I haven’t cooked for a long time.

Stir-fried green beans, dry-fried eggplant, stir-fried pork ribs with green onions, carp soup and a bowl of rice. The younger sister thought, it would be nice to have a neighbor brother in an ordinary life.

"It's too bland, too bland!" Yan, who surrendered to Cao, had a different opinion.

"What faded?"

"He has lost his humanity. Flattery will only harm him!"

Yan Wenhua sighed repeatedly. The perfectly cooked rice crust in the bowl in front of him demonstrated his shameless and filthy spirit.

Didn't I hold you in my arms?

The younger sister didn't want to talk but just smiled softly. The older sister picked up a piece of eggplant mixed with rice and put it into her mouth, nodding vigorously: "Perfect!"

"eat more."

Xie Jingxing watched with satisfaction, drinking only the soup without any rice. It seemed that the chefs all liked to watch others eat the dishes they cooked but they themselves didn't eat much because they lost their appetite when choked by the fumes.

Yan Wenhua chewed the rice crust and said vaguely, "I hope Cheng Wei won't act like a perpetrator again. I'm not interested in accompanying him to Tibet."

"will not."

Xie Jingxing's answer was brief and confident. In fact, he had no intention of interfering in Didi's internal personnel appointments. It was the state of Cheng Wei and Liu Qing that made him suddenly decide to do so.

In addition, Didi's technical department is currently quietly optimizing the "rush order reward" algorithm. Drivers can get additional cash rewards for completing six orders during peak hours in the morning and evening.

Often it takes a long time for the sixth order to come, like hanging a carrot in front of a donkey pulling a millstone.

Every entrepreneur is full of fighting spirit for capital at the beginning, but always loses courage after the harvest. Obviously, Cheng Wei and Liu Qing are no exceptions, and the vision of forcing traditional taxi travel to reform has also disappeared.

Their last bit of courage would be completely worn out from the day they acquired Uber, so Xie Jingxing was not worried at all about his influence on Didi after that.

"Why do I feel that you are not doing your work now, but thinking about others every day?"

Yan Wenhua felt a chill on the back of his head and complained with a wary look in his eyes.

Xie Jingxing shrugged: "Studying people is the right thing to do."

"No wonder I feel creeped out when I see you, your hapless behavior. You are so sinister. It will be good for your physical and mental health if you get more sun exposure in the future."

Yan Wenhua remembered something and continued, "Do you have time next month to go to Hailar for fun?"

Many car companies hold ice test drives in Hailar every winter, with professional teams from the car companies' headquarters providing on-site technical support, and all models of the car are very comfortable in the ice and snow environment.

His investment in Grapefruit Quantitative Securities Fund this year brought him great rewards. Not only could he have fun, but he might also be able to customize two cars from the car manufacturer.

Xie Jingxing was slightly tempted, but after a little hesitation he gave up.

The year-end summary is basically over. This year, the two securities groups of Grapefruit have a total net profit of 180 billion yuan. The venture capital department has no project exits, so the net profit cannot be calculated. Various estimates show that the floating profit is roughly 35 billion US dollars.

Taihe Family Office, which includes venture capital, domestic and foreign securities investments and alternative investments, has a net profit of approximately US$6 million, and the performance of venture capital projects that have not yet exited is estimated to be around US$20 billion.

Generally speaking, Xiyou's ability to make money is obviously greater than that of Taihe. As a result of their different positioning and funding sources, the money earned by the former does not belong to him alone.

However, the right to use the total US$90 billion in cash and cash equivalents is unquestionable. Xie Jingxing will have to go to Taihe’s Singapore office next month to settle accounts and reallocate various leveraged debts.

At the end of this month, Meizu will release a new product of its sub-brand and then take advantage of the opportunity to carry out a round of financing; Yunhe’s first fresh food supermarket is about to cut the ribbon and go public; Mobike has completed financing and is expanding to the four first-tier cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

Lin Lin has a lot of things to do. Although he has resigned from many positions one after another, he cannot avoid being the CEO of Meizu and the Chairman of Yunhe.

The former was something he had fought for with great difficulty, but now he just gave up. How could Young Marshal Xie become a child? The latter was his own business, and if he didn't cultivate the power of the Eastern Palace, how could he take over Old Marshal Xie's position in the future?

Xie Jingxing now very much hopes that old Xie Nu will work hard until he is ninety-nine years old, and simply train his grandson to take over, as his son has no such ambition.

"See? This is what a proud child of heaven looks like."

Yan Wenhua burped and brushed off the rice crumbs on his hands and sighed softly. His sisters agreed with him and found it hard to empathize with his worries. They had no idea how to provide emotional value.

…………

Four Seasons refers to the Four Seasons Hotel; group event refers to a temporary event.

Although I didn't know the names of the twin sisters, it was fate that we met. I borrowed their venue after all, and chatted with Yan Wenhua about everything over a double serving of delicious food for the entire afternoon.

In the evening, Xie Jingxing accompanied the three of them to serve as a background board to repay a favor. An old friend in the department was singing "The River Is Wide" with a wine glass in one hand and a beat in the other. Two fellow villagers from Shaanxi came in to toast them with a glass of wine and sat for half an hour. This was a great time.

The rules of play in the capital have always been so unpredictable, so it is understandable that Liu Qing, who came back from abroad, can't get used to it.

Xie Jingxing watched the whole process with a confused look on his face, watching his old friend from the department leave leisurely on a small electric donkey on a cold winter night, with a ruddy face and reeking of alcohol, wearing a helmet and cotton gloves, secretly admiring that snakes have their own ways and rats have their own paths.

"Brother, let's go somewhere else to rest for a while? I see you didn't eat much just now." The elder sister returned to her smart outfit of woolen coat and high boots. The younger sister wore a knee-length down jacket with a scarf and a baseball cap to hold down her high ponytail. She looked fresh and not bloated. It was just like a student from Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama.

Yan Wenhua raised his wrist and looked at it: "Don't bother at this time, find a Haidilao nearby that is still open and have a bite to eat."

"alright."

Xie Jing Xing did it reluctantly. It was becoming increasingly inconvenient for him to appear in public, like he would be randomly photographed and liked by others on WeChat Moments.

Yan Wenhua smiled with satisfaction, put his arm around his shoulders and got into the courtesy car provided by the hotel. It was true that Mr. Xie had become more sinister, but their friendship was also real.

The sisters went to take another car. They were very clear about their position as vases today. After all, it was too boring for two grown men to get together alone and chat about everything from day to night and reminisce about the past.

But not all content vases are qualified to listen. It is important to keep a distance. Being too close is not good for everyone.

We drove slowly all the way to the Haidilao restaurant located in Wanda Plaza. There were quite a lot of people there in the middle of the night, all men and women coming out of nightclubs or apartments.

Xie Jingxing consciously stood by the corner of the elevator. His sister blinked, took off her baseball cap and handed it to him.

"Thank you."

He lowered the brim of his hat as he walked out of the elevator. Seeing this, his sister took a few quick steps and went to ask the waiter for a seat in the private room. Yan Wenhua followed suit and moved forward to play the role of a bodyguard to clear the way for the big star.

While the four people were separating themselves from each other, an elevator door opened and more than a dozen girls who looked like students from Beijing Film Academy walked out.

They were all wearing the same knee-length down jackets, with delicate makeup and full of youthfulness. In comparison, the younger sister was ultimately too involved and almost failed.

"Hey, watch the road, you bumped into someone."

Xie Jingxing quickly grabbed his sister's arm, and the two girls said sorry and hurried to the Haidilao restaurant.

Soon after, another elevator door opened, and more than a dozen girls in down jackets rushed out, dispersing Yan Wenhua who was walking in front.

"Let's move aside."

The younger sister pulled Xie Jingxing back and asked him to lean against the wall. She stood on the outside and used her body to block the little girls who were always only concerned about their heads and not their butts.

It was estimated that there were about seventy or eighty people running back and forth, blocking the entrance of Haidilao, talking and laughing, making a mess.

"Forget it, let's go back to the hotel and eat something."

Yan Wenhua squeezed out of the crowd and came back. His sister squatted on the ground tying her shoelaces. She had just been stepped on at least three times.

This scene was indeed a bit inappropriate, and Xie Jingxing didn't want to spoil the fun: "Why go back to the hotel after such a long night? I know there's a pretty good bar nearby, let's go have a drink."

As the three were talking, the noise outside the Haidilao restaurant became more and more chaotic. The sister was surrounded by the little girls and had no idea what was going on.

"I come over."

Yan Wenhua frowned slightly. A dozen young girls walked by again, surrounding a dull-looking man.

"Hey, when did you come to the capital?" Young Master Wang was stunned, then stopped to greet him.

Xie Jingxing was confused: "What's going on with you?"

"We just selected the contestants for the variety show and brought them here for a meal." Young Master Wang happily asked the girls to greet Mr. Xie.

Xie Jing Xing forced a smile: "Who is in charge of the company?"

"They did it themselves. I have arranged everything. I just came to Beijing to confirm the contestants, and they will officially join the crew for filming after the new year." Young Master Wang emphasized the importance resentfully, feeling a little embarrassed.

After Qihoo 360 acquired a stake in Panda TV last month, Zhou Hongyi personally persuaded a group of senior executives within the company to switch to Panda TV, and he also personally interviewed them and found they all met the requirements.

Young Master Wang felt that he was not a nanny. He had been busy day and night in the company for such a long time, which was enough. Now that the management team was fully equipped, if he still had to handle trivial matters personally, why would he spend money to hire someone?

Besides, you have resigned as co-founder, and you have been doing nothing every day, and now when we meet by chance, you still want me to report to you like a subordinate in front of so many people.

There's something wrong with your brain!
"Sister, please go to another restaurant. There are too many of us to sit down."

"Look at Dianping.com. There's a Little Sheep nearby that's not bad either. Let's go."

"Sister, why don't we let our boss treat you to a meal? Come on, you know our boss, right? Let him talk to you."

The girls at the entrance of Haidilao were still laughing and making so much noise that it made my head hurt. Prince Wang rolled his eyes lazily and said indifferently, "Let's squeeze in and eat together."

"No, you guys eat."

Xie Jingxing's emotions calmed down in an instant. Young Master Wang had a simple mentality. He felt that there would be no waves in introducing Qihoo 360. Instead, his previous uneasiness was multiplied into confidence.

It is both unfortunate and fortunate to cooperate with such an entrepreneur. If you look him in the eye, you will be a loser. There is really no need to get angry.

"Stupid, where did you find such a group of little girls to choose as concubines?"

Birds of a feather flock together. Yan Wenhua and Xie Jingxing are not the same kind of people. In essence, he is the same kind of person as Zhou Fenglan and Yu Tongcai.

Pushing aside the little girls and pulling out the elder sister, he pointed his finger and said, "Talk a little too much, think a little more."

"Who the hell are you?" Prince Wang glared at him with his signature innocent eyes.

Xie Jingxing pushed Yan Wenhua out: "My good friend."

"you……"

"Eat well first, and you can call me anytime later. I'll be waiting for you anytime."
