Chapter 712: Chapter 255: Meeting Old Ma and Ten Years of In-Depth Partnership with Taojin! (Part 4)
The past few days of interaction have given him a deeper understanding of this young man.
Without a doubt, Su Zelin is a highly imaginative and ambitious entrepreneur.
In the business world, he has a sharp eye and is shrewd, yet he’s not petty and stingy with his astuteness; instead, he strategically maximizes his benefits, making you genuinely convinced.
He acts with boldness and courage, daring to break through, and this is evident from the growth trajectory of New Era.
Yet in the social scene, this guy can transform into a smooth and sophisticated socialite, adept at navigating all sorts of circles.
Such a person is destined for success!
To some extent, Old Ma saw Su Zelin as similar to himself, with many commonalities, which is why he could pour his heart out to him after a few drinks.
If it had been someone with a lower level of thinking, Old Ma wouldn’t have uttered a word, even if he were dead drunk.
He could also tell that Su Zelin intended to connect with him proactively.
Old Ma was no different.
Not everyone has the qualification to call him brother.
However, this young man does!
Su Zelin laughed to himself.
Old Ma is indeed a man of character.
"Hehe, Brother Ma, I trust you. From now on, we’re strategic allies, and I hope you can look out for me!"
"I wouldn’t dare call it looking out. I’ve made a note of New Era’s kindness. We’re all in Lin’an, so come by Lakefront Garden for tea anytime!"
"Alright, I won’t stand on ceremony with you, Brother Ma!"
"..."
After bidding farewell to Old Ma, Su Zelin was in a great mood.
New Era had just completed a super lucrative deal!
The five million was a huge gain, not only acquiring valuable value-added services but also establishing a strategic alliance with Taojin.
In a few years, Old Ma would realize how unprofitable this contract was.
Yet he would still be grateful to him.
Because New Era lent a hand to Taojin when it was most needed, offering timely help.
Taojin made a fortune and laid a good foundation for launching value-added services.
New Era spent five million to buy ten years of value-added services, and Taojin would heavily promote this, bolstering the reputation of its value-added services.
During this promotion process, New Era also received a chance for free publicity.
This is a win-win!
In the business world, win-win is always the way to go long-term.
With allies, each gets what they need and supports each other.
If you’re always thinking of taking advantage, business won’t last long, and you might even turn against each other.
The thought of being able to go to Old Ma’s office anytime for tea, and taking photos together being a common occurrence, gave Su Zelin a sense of accomplishment.
However, he’s sure that his life will be more glorious than in his previous life, and he might even have a place at future Wuzhen Internet Summits.
After drinking with Old Ma and others, Su Zelin didn’t drive.
The company has a driver, but he only picked up Brother Xiao Yang and Kang Baohong.
The rascal planned to go to Song Yuwei’s place tonight, so he called the female assistant before the dinner ended, and unless something unexpected happened, she was already on the way and would be there soon.
As he was thinking about this, his Nokia rang in his pocket.
Huh, Yuwei shouldn’t be arriving so soon.
Su Zelin looked at his phone.
It wasn’t a call from the female assistant.
The caller was Qin Shiqing.
"Xiaolinzi, my period hasn’t come!"
The words of lifelong friends left Su Zelin a bit dumbfounded.
What’s going on?
Qin Shiqing’s cycle has always been quite regular, usually around the third or fourth of the month, never later than the sixth.
During the college entrance exams, it was also around this time. Even when she wasn’t feeling well, Su Zelin specifically got the cafeteria lady to make ginger soup for her.
However, now it’s already the seventh.
No wonder Qin Shiqing was so anxious.
Which young girl wouldn’t be worried about such a matter?
After all, Qin Shiqing is still a college student and just recently had her first intimate encounter.
Suddenly thinking of something, Su Zelin comforted her, "Shiqing, don’t worry for now. Didn’t you take a preventive pill? It can sometimes delay your period by a few days, which is normal."
"Xiaolinzi, I didn’t take the pill."
Qin Shiqing sounded a bit guilty.
After all, she had lied to Su Zelin.
"What!"
Su Zelin was stunned.
"I was planning to take it, but after thinking it over, I decided to flip a coin. It landed tails twice, so I felt it was fate and didn’t take the pill!"
Qin Shiqing said weakly.
Su Zelin: "..."
I’m speechless.
Deciding by flipping a coin?
Which idiot taught you that?
