Chapter 103 - II
After school at noon, when he was at the stadium, he received a call from Qin Yizhi. As soon as he answered the call, after saying a few words, Qin Yizhi keenly noticed something and asked in a low tone, “Are you unhappy?”
Before Xie Qi could speak, Qin Yizhi took the initiative to apologize. “Sorry, I was very busy this morning and couldn’t answer your call in time.”
His tone was sincere, with a hint of coaxing.
Xie Qi understood that he had misunderstood and replied, “No, I won’t be angry because of this kind of thing. You think of me as a small-minded person.”
Qin Yizhi said, “Anyway, let me apologize first.”
Xie Qi: “…
He was amused by Qin Yizhi. “No matter what the reason is, apologize to me first, right?”
Qin Yizhi: “Yeah.”
Xie Qi felt warm in his heart and couldn’t help but relax. He whispered, “My stepfather called me this morning and gave me 10,000 yuan. He’s a very good person. His health isn’t good now, and he’s still trying his best to go abroad to make money.”
Qin Yizhi said in a calm tone, “He opened a trading company. It will be difficult at first, but it won’t be too much hardship.”
Xie Qi didn’t even know that Hou Linong had opened a trading company, but Qin Yizhi knew about it and couldn’t help asking, “How did you know? Did you check again?”
Qin Yizhi paused and replied, “He wants to do business, so I naturally have to take care of him to prevent him from being cheated.”
Xie Qi: “…”
He was shocked and murmured, “You are so busy, do you even care for such a small thing?”
Qin Yizhi was silent for a while and then said, “Things related to you are not trivial.”
Xie Qi: “…”
His face suddenly turned hot—what, was he talking about love?
It couldn’t be denied that Qin Yizhi’s words of love were very touching.
He opened his mouth. Perhaps the heat had evaporated all the moisture in his throat, making Xie Qi’s voice a little hoarse. “…You are the one to talk.”
Qin Yizhi said calmly, “You can’t say it.”
Xie Qi thought, he couldn’t speak.
Xie Qi changed the subject and said, “Speaking of which, when did you start to like me?”
Qin Yizhi was silent, and Xie Qi asked strangely, “Why don’t you speak? Is there anything that can’t be said?”
After a while, Qin Yizhi said softly, “I don’t know.”
Xie Qi: “? Don’t know? Don’t you even know this?”
Qin Yizhi: “Yeah.”
Xie Qi thought of that mountain climb (the erection), paused, and said, “Well, back then my little husband showed the first time.”
Qin Yizhi: “…”
Xie Qi listened to the breathing on the phone, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and changed the subject nonchalantly, “Speaking of which, do you think Mr. Hou’s company has development prospects?”
Qin Yizhi paused and replied, “Yes, he is very smart. He knows that starting from recycling garbage, there can be a lot of profit margins by bringing domestic second-hand clothes to underdeveloped countries. He goes everywhere to clothing factories to collect orders. You may not know, but domestic factories like this will have several spare batches. If there are no problems with the quality inspection, these batches will be scrapped and sold to garbage collectors by kilograms, and the garbage collectors will sell them to small vendors. It becomes a street stall product that costs 10 yuan for three pieces—but even so, the small vendor still makes a profit. The quality of this kind of batch is not bad. He collects these resources and transports them abroad to sell, and one piece of clothing can be sold for $10-$20.”
Xie Qi was stunned when he calculated the figures, “…Isn’t that the price of three items of street stall goods that cost 10 yuan in China, with an average price of 3 yuan, but after a trip abroad, it becomes more than 100 yuan?”
If they added up a small amount like this, there aZ indeed a huge profit margin. “Then, isn’t Mr. Hou going to become a rich man soon?”
Qin Yizhi said, “It depends on whether he wants to transform or gather other resources later, otherwise it will just be a small amount of money.”
Xie Qi said a little speechlessly, “You can’t compare it with your company. For ordinary citizens like us, it’s already pretty good if we can have a living.”
He admired Mr. Hou’s courage. “He is so awesome. I didn’t expect his brain to be so good.”
Qin Yizhi: “…”
Qin Yizhi said calmly, “I negotiated a contract worth 570 million today.”
Xie Qi: “!!”
He said, “So much?? You are so good! So how much money can you get? Your salary is so low, will there be any commission?”
Low?
Qin Yizhi’s tone deepened, “It wasn’t about how much money I got; it was about how much money the company could get. Commissions were only for employees. How much money the company had was how much money I had.”
Xie Qi: “! No wonder you didn’t have time in the morning, but you always did big business with a few hundred million. In comparison, Teacher Hou was more powerful. He could still make some connections. It wasn’t about the money.”
Qin Yizhi: “…”
Qin Yizhi said, “Take my black card and go to a luxury store to swipe it. You can also associate with it.”
Xie Qi said, “I am not that vain. Luxury goods are just a meant to make money by the corporate.”
Xie Qi was afraid that he would talk about his favourite shoes, so he quickly patched it up and said, “Those shoes were different. What I bought was a design, and the design was priceless.”
Qin Yizhi: “…”
When Xie Qi saw that Qin Yizhi was silent, he said, “Then I’ll hang up first and go play basketball.”
Qin Yizhi: “…Yeah.”
Xie Qi immediately hung up the phone.
Qin Yizhi: “…”
Why did he hang up so quickly?
