That evening, at a high-end restaurant, Qin Chuan, Fang Rumei, Ye Huai'an, and Zhong Dongyao had dinner together.
Alisa was not invited, as Qin Chuan was worried about Fang Rumei discovering their affair...
During the meal, the two rich second-generation heirs, Ye Huai'an and Zhong Dongyao, were exceptionally cheerful, their faces beaming.
Today was also a very glorious day in their lives. Although their photos and information were not in the newspapers, they knew their own business. They boasted to everyone that they were shareholders in the Kunlun Laboratory mentioned in the papers.
Did anyone not believe them?
Simple, they directly slapped the signed contract in front of their faces.
"You wouldn't know, at first my parents and family didn't believe me at all. When I pulled out the contract and slammed it on the table, my family's expressions completely changed!"
Zhong Dongyao said excitedly, "I still remember their disbelieving expressions. It was as if all the frustrations of my nearly twenty years of life had been vented!"
"Let them underestimate me and call me idle from now on!"
"Brother was just enjoying life, too lazy to enter the business early, otherwise life would be too boring!"
Ye Huai'an nodded frantically beside him, "Who says otherwise? My situation is similar to yours!"
"The mall we are building now, and this investment in Kunlun Laboratory, both prove that we are very smart!"
"Once we finish building that mall, I'll slap those who looked down on me hard! They'll never dare to look down on me again!"
Qin Chuan, sitting on the side, smiled as he watched Ye Huai'an and Zhong Dongyao, the two second-generation heirs, vent their pent-up frustrations. He picked up his wine glass, "Come, let's toast!"
"Brothers, follow me, and I won't boast too much, but when it comes to making money, leave it to me! I guarantee that in a few years, you'll be the wealthiest in your circle!"
This remark reminded Ye Huai'an and Zhong Dongyao. They suddenly remembered that their two investments were actually guided by Qin Chuan. Without Qin Chuan, they wouldn't know what they would be doing now.
For a moment, their emotions ran high.
"Brother Qin Chuan, we must toast this drink to you. Without you, we wouldn't have this glorious moment today!"
Ye Huai'an raised his wine glass and said with utmost sincerity.
"From now on, you are our sworn brothers. If there's anything we can help with, just ask, and we will do our best to help you!"
Zhong Dongyao quickly added, "Right! If you have any difficulties that we can help with, just say so. Even if we can't do it, our elders are still at home!"
"Things we can't do, they absolutely can."
Qin Chuan smiled, "Brothers, you are too kind. Come, let's toast!"
Fang Rumei, sitting beside him, was also beaming. She understood the identities of Ye Huai'an and Zhong Dongyao. Building good relationships with such second-generation heirs was definitely more beneficial than not.
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
The four wine glasses clinked crisply, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Perhaps it was because they were too happy today, but after drinking, Zhong Dongyao put on a lecherous expression and said slyly,
"Qin Chuan, after dinner later, I'll take you to a good place. I guarantee you'll have an amazing time!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Huai'an's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Brother Zhong has a lot of resources."
"Qin Chuan, you haven't played with celebrities yet, have you? Let me tell you, Brother Zhong's family owns a media company, and they have many beautiful female artists under them, including some celebrities you often see on TV – A-list, B-list, and C-list."
"As long as you like them, tonight we'll let you experience that feeling!"
Qin Chuan was drinking hangover tea and almost choked when he heard Ye Huai'an's words, coughing uncontrollably.
Fang Rumei, sitting beside him, her smiling face suddenly contorted with shame and anger. She slammed the table forcefully, "You two guys, if you want to play, go play yourselves, but don't corrupt my Qin Chuan! He has a girlfriend!"
"Qin Chuan has a girlfriend?"
This statement stunned both Ye Huai'an and Zhong Dongyao. Then, their playful eyes fell on Fang Rumei's face, "Rumei, could this girlfriend you're talking about be yourself?"
"Yeah! Yeah! We've been with Qin Chuan for so long, but we've never heard him mention a girlfriend."
Zhong Dongyao said playfully, "You two are a perfect match, talented and beautiful, and partners. It's simply too fitting."
Whether it was due to the alcohol or some other reason, at this moment, Fang Rumei's charming face was flushed, and even her swan-like neck was crimson.
"You... what nonsense are you talking about? I'm not Qin Chuan's girlfriend!"
Fang Rumei exclaimed in panic, then subconsciously glanced at Qin Chuan sitting beside her.
"His... his girlfriend is someone else, and she's much prettier than me!"
"Compared to his girlfriend, I'm just an ugly duckling."
Fang Rumei knew exactly what Yang Zimo's looks were like. The thought of Yang Zimo's ethereal and peerless beauty made Fang Rumei feel dejected.
Perhaps she had some confidence when other women were involved, but with Yang Zimo, it was a lost cause. She truly couldn't compare. In terms of family background and personal capabilities, Fang Rumei was far inferior.
"My goodness, no way, Qin Chuan, you really have a girlfriend?"
"Your secrecy is impressive. We never knew."
Ye Huai'an and Zhong Dongyao looked at Qin Chuan with surprise.
"Cough, cough, my girlfriend isn't in the capital, so you wouldn't know!"
Qin Chuan coughed a couple of times and said.
"Alright, let's skip this topic. Sister Mei, how is the factory progressing?!"
Fang Rumei replied, "The production workshop for chips is nearing completion. It will be completely finished in about half a month."
"I've already sent people out to scout for suitable production machinery!"
Qin Chuan nodded, "That's good. The laboratory's CPU debugging is also nearing completion. Soon, it will be officially ready for production."
"We will have a lot of work to do next, such as contacting multiple suppliers, signing contracts, and if there are things not available domestically, we might have to import them from abroad."
"This aspect must be arranged properly."
Fang Rumei assured him that she would do her best.
Listening to Qin Chuan and Fang Rumei discuss the upcoming mass production of CPUs and the full commencement of the MP3 project, Ye Huai'an and Zhong Dongyao exchanged glances.
"Qin Chuan, does your factory still need funding? If so, we'd like to invest a portion."
Zhong Dongyao asked tentatively, and Ye Huai'an also looked on with anticipation.
They were naturally aware of the new MP3 project that Qin Chuan and Fang Rumei were undertaking. Given how quickly their investment in the laboratory was showing results, their minds were already buzzing with ideas.
While Kunlun Laboratory and the factory in Longcheng were closely related, their invested portion did not include the factory.
It solely represented the newly developed CPU, and the more this CPU sold, the more they would earn.
The Longcheng factory, on the other hand, was for the complete MP3 product, which was much richer than the single CPU project.
If they could invest in this MP3 project, it would be absolutely perfect!
