“What?”
Qin Kong was furious. He never expected Qin Lang to disparage his project right in front of him like this!
What was more… it was also in front of the senior investment manager from Blue Ocean Capital!
Wasn’t this a slap in his face?
A mere good-for-nothing, yet he dared to spout such nonsense about his project?
“What do you know? Do you even understand market analysis? Do you know what industry prospects are? You’re just a nobody college student, what could you possibly know?”
Qin Kong was getting flustered and exasperated.
A cold sneer flashed in Qin Yunxuan’s eyes. How dare Qin Kong talk about market analysis and industry prospects? If he had even the slightest grasp of them, he wouldn’t have poured so much money into this project.
This was clearly a project doomed to fail!
“Your project lacks both technological innovation and business model innovation. I genuinely can’t see where its potential for success lies. Moreover… this project could easily be replicated by competitors. In the end, it would only survive by being propped up by capital.”
“And I haven’t found where the profit point of this project is either. If I’m not mistaken, after running for so long, it hasn’t made any money yet, right? It’s been losing money all along, hasn’t it?”
Qin Kong’s face darkened. It wasn’t because Qin Yunxuan was completely wrong, but because she had hit the nail on the head.
How bizarre!
In his eyes, Qin Lang was just a deadbeat college student waiting to coast through life. How could he, as if equipped with x-ray vision, see through all his secrets?
“I don’t understand investment. Perhaps in the eyes of professional investors, your project might be considered a high-quality one!”
Qin Yunxuan tossed the documents to Chen Xiyan and shrugged.
Chen Xiyan let out a light laugh. “What’s this? Are you trying to make us professional investors look bad? Even an outsider like you can see it. How could I possibly miss it?”
She turned to look at Qin Kong. “Mr. Qin, I’m sorry, but your project holds no appeal for me whatsoever. Blue Ocean Capital would never invest in such a project. However…”
Upon hearing the first part, Qin Kong felt as if he had been given a death sentence. But the second half of her sentence reignited a glimmer of hope in his heart.
“However what?”
Qin Kong pressed eagerly.
Chen Xiyan chuckled softly. “However… if you can come up with a project that Qin Lang approves of, I wouldn’t mind trying to persuade the board to invest in your project.”
“Really?” An excited look appeared on Qin Kong’s face.
Chen Xiyan nodded and then stood up. “I have work to attend to, so I won’t disturb you any further. Qin Lang, I truly trust your judgment!”
As she spoke, Chen Xiyan stood up, stretched, revealing her graceful figure.
Chen Xiyan left, but Qin Yunxuan realized the trouble was just beginning.
“Qin Lang, what’s your relationship with Miss Chen?” Qin Kong assumed a haughty posture and said, “I never imagined you could influence Miss Chen’s investment choices. That makes things easier. Later, just go back and tell Miss Chen that you think highly of my project. That should do it, right?”
Qin Yunxuan looked at her cousin with speechless disbelief. Did he really think a single word from her could make someone invest substantial real money?
With a brain like his, how did he even muster the courage to start a business?
Was the family money just burning a hole in their pocket?
“Where are the things my mom asked you to bring me?” Qin Yunxuan ignored Qin Kong’s request and asked directly.
Qin Kong frowned. He seemed to sense something off about Qin Lang’s attitude.
The previous Qin Lang would never have spoken to him in such a firm tone.
“Don’t worry about those worthless things. Did you hear what I said? Later, just tell Miss Chen you think my project is excellent. That way, I can secure Blue Ocean’s investment!”
Qin Yunxuan shook her head. “Give me the stuff. As for the rest, don’t bother about it.”
A faint smile appeared on Qin Kong’s face. “Fine, as long as you know what to do. Come over here. I’ll give you those things your mom sent for you.”
They arrived at the parking lot. Qin Kong pulled out a bag of boiled peanuts and corn from the trunk and tossed it to her.
“Your mom, honestly. She insisted I bring these worthless things. Yun Jing City has everything! Why did she have to make me lug this stuff here?”
Qin Kong grumbled, a trace of disgust in his eyes.
Qin Yunxuan fell silent for a moment. She gave Qin Kong a cold glance, then silently shouldered the bag.
“Don’t forget to talk to Miss Chen about that matter, understand?”
Qin Yunxuan sneered inwardly. You want me to persuade Chen Xiyan?
Do you think I’m stupid, or do you think Chen Xiyan is?
Meanwhile, in her room at the Longyu Grand Hotel, Chen Xiyan was leaning against the window.
In front of her was a small laptop, and displayed on the screen was Qin Lang’s personal information.
“Three years of blending into the crowd, then sudden fame in a single day! First prize in the Cybersecurity Competition. This Qin Lang… is quite interesting.”
“If he and my little sister really hit it off, Father probably wouldn’t object too much, right?”
“If my little sister gets married sooner, Father might stop nagging me and Second Sister incessantly.”
…
That very night, Yun Jing Television Station dedicated significant coverage to highlight the achievements of Qin Lang and Yun Jing University in the recent Cybersecurity Competition!
The university’s official website was also among the first to extend its congratulations to Qin Lang.
What was originally known only within a small circle suddenly became common knowledge throughout Yun Jing University.
“Wow, this Qin Lang… he wouldn’t be the same Qin Lang we were all trash-talking before, right?”
“Reluctant as I am to admit it, it really is him!”
“Developed an antivirus software independently? And won first prize in the Cybersecurity Competition? What kind of insane luck is that?”
“I heard that antivirus software could sell for at least ten million if he cashed out! No wonder he won over a beauty’s heart!”
“Give me ten million, and I could conquer any campus belle!”
“Young and famous, with a beauty in his arms. I’m genuinely envious.”
“This is too fake, right? Wasn’t Qin Lang the slacker in our class? How did he suddenly become a genius? Was he hiding his talents too well?”
…
The buzz around Qin Lang, which had faded, instantly surged back.
However, unlike before… the voices of curses had vanished, replaced by sounds of envy and jealousy.
“Xixi, is it true that Qin Lang’s antivirus software could really sell for ten million?”
“Xixi, men change when they have money. You’ve got to keep a close eye on Qin Lang! Those little vixens at our school definitely won’t leave him alone!”
“Exactly! I heard Leng Xiaoxiao publicly expressed her admiration for Qin Lang. You’re both top beauties of Yun Jing. If Qin Lang gets snatched away by Leng Xiaoxiao, that would be so humiliating!”
Looking at the concerned faces of her dorm mates, Chen Xiyuan felt a headache coming on.
She never imagined that just winning first prize in some Cybersecurity Competition could hold such enormous appeal.
“But… Leng Xiaoxiao is also interested in Qin Lang?”
A cold glint flashed in Chen Xiyuan’s eyes.
“No matter what, I won’t lose to Leng Xiaoxiao!”
