September 13, 2009, Gulou Campus of Jianye Hohai University.
"At ease!"
"Attention!"
"Turn left! Move in unison! "
Under the scorching sun, the slogans of military training could be heard in the campus. As far as the eye could see, there were freshmen in camouflage uniforms everywhere. Their youthful faces had long been tanned, and their bodies were covered by the bulky military training uniforms. The longing for university life in their eyes had weakened a lot.
Of course, in such a large group of freshmen, there were definitely one or two girls. They were originally very beautiful, and their tanned skin added another kind of healthy beauty. Occasionally, when they took off their military training caps, their long hair hung down to their waists. Even their sweat was mixed with the fragrance of shower gel.
Yes, this was also the smell of youth!
These girls had already attracted attention during their military training. Boys with a little talent would always create opportunities to show off their talents in front of them, such as basketball, guitar, singing, and other talents.
Boys who did not have any talent, but were bad at social interactions would also talk in front of them, tease them, and show off their abilities.
However, most of the boys were more shy. They were too embarrassed to strike up a conversation. They could only sneak a few glances at the girls when they were in the military training line. If the girls noticed, the boys would immediately turn their heads and pretend that they did not care.
"Director Chen's eyes are like a radar. If you look in the direction where you are looking, you will definitely find a beautiful girl."
On a boulevard outside the field, a man and a woman were wearing sunglasses. The woman was teasing her companion.
"Brother Cheng, you are being jealous for no reason."
The man pushed up his sunglasses and said with a smile, "In terms of temperament and appearance, these little girls can't be compared to you."
"Tsk, how free do I have to be to be jealous of you?"
The chairman of Xiaomi Electronics, Zheng Guanjin, who was more than 1.7 meters tall and was dressed in expensive branded clothes, spat. She then quickened her pace and walked forward, at the same time taking the sunshade with her.
"F * ck, a woman's face is really fickle."
A certain scumbag shrugged under the sun. In the end, he could only helplessly chase after her.
The man and woman were Chen Hansheng and Zheng Guanyun. They were here to visit Kong Jing.
Around last year, after Wang Zibo and Bian Shishi got married, Kong Jing, then the second-in-command of Nutshell Electronics, announced at a public event that she would be invited by the School of Economics and Management of Hohai University to be a visiting professor.
This news didn't cause too much of a stir because Kong Jing didn't say that she would leave Nutshell Electronics. In fact, this was just a way to stabilize the stock price. The executives of Nutshell's board of directors all understood that this elegant woman who had once co-founded Nutshell Group represented the mature woman on the other side of Nutshell. She was really no longer in charge of specific matters.
Just like she had always wanted, she was living the life she wanted.
However, for Hohai University, this could be considered as a great increase in the teaching staff. Not to mention Kong Jing's huge network and rich business experience, after she started teaching, there would often be famous people who came to visit her.
For people like Chen Hansheng and Zheng Guanren, it was not their first time coming to Hohai University.
"Creak ~"
In a lecture hall in the west building of the teaching building, Chen Hansheng opened the back door with familiarity. The 300-seat classroom was already full. There were also many students standing in the corridor, leaning against the wall, and even sitting on the ground. It was bustling and seemed to be a little chaotic, but everyone was listening to the teacher attentively.
"Professor Kong's lecture is really interesting. We can really learn a lot."
"Of course, Professor Kong manages a listed company with real strength, unlike some teachers who only have three things to do in class: reading the PowerPoint, asking the students to read the PowerPoint, and bragging about their experience when they studied abroad in the last 20 minutes."
"Right, right, right, there are even people bragging about their own children. I really admire them."
… ….
Hearing the whispers of the students about the teacher, Chen Hansheng and Zheng Guanyun looked at each other and smiled. With Kong Jing's ability, she was more than qualified to be the dean of the School of Economics and Management, let alone a visiting professor.
Kong Jing, who was in front, had already noticed the two old friends coming to visit. She smiled and nodded to greet them. At this time, the students realized that there were two "big crocodiles" in the classroom.
They were the real financial crocodiles, the founders of Nutshell Electronics and Xiaomi Electronics. They were the top 50 richest people in the country, and Director Chen was a frequent visitor to the top 10.
There were bursts of cheers in the classroom. However, it was obviously not the first time that Chen Hansheng and Zheng Guanren came here. The waves gradually calmed down, and only the mobile phone lights were shining.
"Director Chen, Director Zheng …"
There was already an eye-catching boy who stood up to give up his seat. Chen Hansheng did not hesitate and patted the boy's shoulder with a smile. "Look at your excellent physique and talent. If there is a chance in the future, you can come to Nutshell or Xiaomi to work overtime."
"Wow …"
There were envious exclamations from nearby. In the job market for freshmen, Nutshell and Xiaomi's offer had always been fought over. If one could enter the core department of these two companies, it was normal that he or she could earn millions a year.
After Chen Hansheng and Zheng Guanyun sat down, they obviously felt that the students around them were a little uneasy, especially a sophomore girl next to him. She looked very embarrassed.
"Student …"
Chen Hansheng noticed and immediately said with "concern", "Don't be afraid. I'm not a good person anyway …"
After saying that, the girl who was already nervous trembled even more.
Zheng Guanyun shook her head and combed her glossy and soft brown hair. She listened to Kong Jing's class attentively.
The topic of this class was the final form of the development of domestic private enterprises.
On the PowerPoint and blackboard, Kong Jing listed several leading companies in the domestic industry, such as Nutshell, Alibaba, Tencent, and Huawei. She also analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of those companies, including the areas that needed to be improved in the future.
Zheng Guanyun glanced at it a few times and found that it was basically correct.
There aren't many teachers in the university who have the courage to analyze openly like this, Zheng Guanyun thought to herself.
Zheng Guanjin thought to himself, but he knew that Kong Jing was definitely qualified.
"Just now, we've made it clear that the final form of the development of domestic private enterprises isn't about who has more assets, but who can provide more services to ordinary people. That way, it will have a better future. Now, we're free to discuss. Do you have any questions?"
Royal Sister Kong was dressed in a white blouse with her sleeves rolled up. She wore a pair of loose pants with her long hair tied behind her head. She shared her unique knowledge with her students.
It was commonly known as dry goods.
What the students didn't know was that some of the conclusions were actually speculations made by the board of directors and the think tank of Nutshell. Although they didn't need to be confidential, they were very valuable and meaningful.
"Professor Kong."
During the free discussion, a girl stood up and took the initiative to ask, "In the next ten years, which of the private enterprises you listed will become the leader of the private enterprises?"
"It won't be listed on the market, Huawei."
Kong Jing answered without hesitation, "It will be listed on the market, Nutshell."
"Wow!"
All the students in the lecture hall turned to look at Chen Hansheng.
However, they understood that Professor Kong was the second-in-command of Nutshell, so he naturally supported his own company. In addition, Nutshell's various products were developing very well, and they were really convenient for people's daily needs. The acceptance rate was very high, so it seemed possible for Nutshell to become the leader.
"Professor Kong."
Another boy with glasses raised his hand. "I'm a computer science student. Alipay has already become a part of our daily life. Will Nutshell be interested in entering the financial industry in the future?"
"Well …" Kong Jing was stunned.
She naturally knew about Nutshell's future plans, but this question seemed to involve the "confidentiality clause", and only one person in the whole Nutshell could ignore it.
Kong Jing looked at Chen Hansheng, and everyone turned to look at Chen Hansheng's face.
"Well …"
Chen Hansheng thought for a while, then stood up with a serious face. "Nutshell will be involved in many fields in the future, but there are two fields that we won't touch. One is real estate, and the other is finance …"
"Why?!"
Before Chen Hansheng could finish, a student couldn't help but interrupt him. Real estate was the most profitable industry in recent years, and finance was also the most profitable industry. The stock price of Nutshell rose a lot during the Olympic Games last year.
"Because these are the most important assets of our country."
Chen Hansheng cleared his throat. "From my point of view, I support the control of the country, so that the foundation of our society won't be shaken."
"Oh …"
The students in the lecture hall seemed to understand, but they also didn't understand. At this time, the music rang, and the students left reluctantly.
Kong Jing didn't have classes in the afternoon, so she took Chen Hansheng and Zheng Guanjin back to the dormitory on campus. She was a visiting professor, so she couldn't get a house, but the second day after she came to register, she handed in the key to a quiet and clean house.
"A friend sent me a tea set a few days ago, and I haven't used it yet. You can try it together."
After entering the house, Kong Jing took out a set of exquisitely crafted white porcelain tea set. She was originally a woman with a bit of a bourgeois temperament. She was very satisfied with this kind of leisure life of teaching, drinking tea, and listening to music.
"How's the company these days?"
Kong Jing asked Nutshell and Xiaomi about the company's affairs when she was making tea. It was inevitable. After all, Chen Hansheng's reply to Kong Jing was "agree to be a part-time university professor", not "agree to resign".
Kong Jing was still a member of Nutshell's department.
"It's still a little busy, because we have to deal with Apple."
Zheng Guanjin took a sip of the tea, and closed her eyes to enjoy the fragrance of the tea.
Kong Jing nodded. This was the plan that Nutshell and Xiaomi had made a long time ago. They were going to deal with the aggressive "Apple" head-on. The three of them chatted like this. The white sun outside the window was burning the earth. The indoor air conditioner was blowing, and the tea leaves were rolling up and down in the glass teacups. The rich tea fragrance mixed with the dense steam deeply comforted their busy souls.
"How are Zijin and Zipei?"
Naturally, the topic changed from work to life. Kong Jing mentioned Chen Hansheng's two daughters.
"Oh, they …"
When they were talking about Apple just now, Chen Hansheng's face flashed with fierceness and disdain from time to time. However, when it came to Little Yu 'er and Little Silly Bun, this big hooligan suddenly became gentle.
"They are already three years old. Now they can speak and understand everything. The older one is a little naughty and often wants to go out for a walk. The younger one is still a little silly. She can even fall asleep while sitting. Once, my mother took them to the park … "
As long as they talked about their precious daughters, even the scumbag would become a chatterbox. He was eager to share the interesting stories about his daughters with others. At this time, Nutshell Chen was probably the most unsophisticated person.
Kong Jing and Zheng Guanjin didn't interrupt, but listened to Chen Hansheng's chatter. From time to time, they would say a few words to encourage Chen Hansheng. Suddenly, Nie Xiaoyu called, "Director Chen, I arranged to have dinner with the leaders of the province tonight. Where are you?"
"Oh, it's already 4 pm."
Chen Hansheng looked at the time and realized that an hour had already passed.
"I have to go now. There's a business meeting that I can't cancel."
Chen Hansheng stood up and said.
"Then you should go now."
Zheng Guanjin's bestie disagreed as usual. "I can finally talk about women's topics with Sister Jing."
"You two are really …"
Chen Hansheng wanted to argue back, but he suddenly found that Zheng Guanjin and Kong Jing seemed to be a little "similar".
However, the two of them had different personalities, backgrounds, and experiences. What similarities could they have?
When Chen Hansheng was walking down the stairs, he realized that Zheng Guanjin's bestie had also reached the "mature" age.
When he first met Zheng Guanjin, she was already 24 years old. Now, after six years, Zheng Guanjin was already 30 years old.
"Time flies so fast!"
Chen Hansheng smacked his lips and ran into the scorching sun in September.
… ….
After Chen Hansheng left, Zheng Guanjin and Kong Jing continued their conversation.
In the past, Zheng Guanjin didn't have any friends in Jianye. She had a job, a bestie, and a secretary. It seemed that she didn't need any friends at all. However, as she approached 30 years old, Zheng Guanjin increasingly felt that it was good to have a friend like Kong Jing.
She didn't want to get married, and neither did Kong Jing.
She didn't want to get involved in Chen Hansheng's complicated relationship, and Kong Jing also wanted to stay away.
She couldn't leave Chen Hansheng, and it seemed that Kong Jing also …
"Gurgle ~"
Another pot of tea was boiling. Kong Jing picked it up and poured it for them. She then started talking about women's topics.
"The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming. I'm considering whether to go back to my hometown or not."
Kong Jing said softly.
"Uncle and Auntie won't urge you to get married, right?"
Zheng Guanjin looked at Kong Jing. She was 30 years old, but Kong Jing was 35 years old. She just took good care of herself and the university environment was very relaxed, so she looked younger.
"They don't urge me anymore, but there will always be long-winded."
Kong Jing said self-deprecatingly, "After all, in Chaoshan, there are very few women who are not married after 25 years old. I'm simply a freak."
Generally speaking, if Kong Jing was still working in Nutshell, Zheng Guanjin would probably comfort her by saying, "You're already successful. You don't need to care about other people's opinions."
However, with their current relationship, Zheng Guanjin didn't need to be so polite. Instead, she spoke her mind, "At least you have a long-winded family. My parents don't care about me at all. I've been in Jianye for so many years, but he's the only one who's by my side every time I'm sick."
Without a doubt, "he" was Chen Hansheng.
"But …"
Kong Jing smiled, "That's not bad. If your parents suddenly look for you, it might bring up a lot of things about your family in Hong Kong. Maybe you'll be even more annoyed. Besides, apart from Chairman Chen, Auntie Liang will invite you over every festival. "
"That's true."
Thinking of the straightforward Empress Dowager Liang, Zheng Guanjin's mood instantly improved. "Auntie Liang will invite me every time, but I rarely agree. The moon and the stars are all there. Why would I go over there and cause trouble?"
"Haha."
Kong Jing couldn't help laughing. Now, in Chen Hansheng's inner circle, everyone knew that White Moonlight was Xiao Rongyu, and Treasure was Shen Youchu. They were also the mothers of Chen Hansheng's two precious daughters.
"Do you … want to have a child in the future?"
Out of the blue, Kong Jing threw out such a question.
"Well …"
Zheng Guanjin was slightly dazed. After thinking seriously for a while, she said, "I don't have such plans for now. Maybe I'll change my mind in two years. Anyway, you know that I don't need anyone to inherit Xiaomi Electronics. Maybe in a few decades, I'll give it to the two chubby little girls. "
"The two chubby little girls" were Chen Zijin and Chen Zipei. If Zheng Guanjin wanted a child of her own, then the baby's father could only be that person.
Kong Jing was a little envious. She wasn't envious of Zheng Guanjin's generosity, but she was envious of her open-mindedness.
Zheng Guanjin was born with a carefree attitude. Even if she didn't establish Xiaomi Electronics, even if she was the so-called "princess in distress", she didn't need to worry about money.
However, she still worked hard to establish her business because she really enjoyed the process. When she was tired of it, she would really give the company directly to Chen Zijin, Chen Zipei, or even Chen Lan.
This was Zheng Guanjin. She was skillful in business and independent in life.
"Here's a toast to you with tea instead of wine."
Kong Jing raised her cup.
"Not to me, but to us, to the 30-year-old mature lady."
Zheng Guanyun smiled sweetly and raised her teacup.
"Ding."
The two porcelain cups clinked in the air.
… ….
Zheng Guanjin left after dinner. But before she left, she suddenly said thoughtfully, "Jing, I know you don't want to have a boyfriend, and you don't plan to get married. But occasionally, when you feel helpless, you can ask him to come over."
Kong Jing's eyes narrowed slightly, then she smiled and said, "Forget it. It's the moon and the stars. Why would I ask him to come over?"
The conversation between the two seemed to be without rhyme or reason, but both of them understood. So, Zheng Guanjin just smiled and waved her hand. "Good night!"
After sending Zheng Guanjin off, the lively living room suddenly quieted down. The shouts of the students during the evening training could be heard faintly.
Kong Jing cleaned up the table and walked to the balcony alone with a cup of tea. The sky was like a curtain, the moon was bright, and the stars were twinkling. The breeze blew the tea in the cup, creating circles of ripples.
"It's just a seat. It won't be a problem."
Kong Jing thought and took out her phone with the other hand. The last message she had with Chen Hansheng was the weather forecast he forwarded last week to remind Jianye that there would be a heavy rainstorm.
"I heard from Zheng Guanjin that in addition to the moon and the stars, there is also a stubborn junior sister and a bad girl who runs a coffee shop …"
Kong Jing curled her lips. "She still has the time to care about me."
However, perhaps she was "bewitched" by Zheng Guanjin, her fingers still made such a message.
When will you come over next time?
"Oh my god!"
When Kong Jing realized it, her face immediately flushed. Did she miss men so much that she actually sent such a "seductive message"?
"Da da da …"
When Kong Jing was about to delete all the messages, she slowly stopped and then changed the message.
When will you be free next time? Bring Zijin and Zipei to come over next time?
Then, she sent it out with a "ding" sound.
After sending it out completely, the phone suddenly became like a hot stone. Kong Jing wanted to throw it far away, but she was afraid that she would miss some messages. In fact, it was a very common invitation between friends, but because of some unnecessary thoughts, Kong Jing was worried about gains and losses, like a girl who had just fallen in love.
"Why don't I take a shower first?"
Just when Kong Jing decided to take a shower to "endure" the waiting time for the message, her phone rang.
"Ah!"
Kong Jing picked up the phone in a panic, took a few deep breaths, and pressed the "#" button to unlock it.
"Okay."
Chen Hansheng's reply was very simple. It was so simple that there was only one word, but Kong Jing suddenly relaxed and walked into the bathroom humming a song.
Kong Jing: When will you be free next time? Bring Zijin and Zipei to come over next time?
Chen Hansheng: Okay.
Can't I miss men?
