At the beginning, Gu Jia and Jiang Nansun were intercepted, and Qiao Yingzi pursued them

"cheers!"

I have to say that wine is indeed the best tool to create a harmonious atmosphere.

The group, who were initially somewhat unfamiliar with each other, started talking more and more after a few drinks, and the atmosphere became much more lively.

At some point, Xie Xiaoxia approached Qin Fan and asked, "Brother Qin, they said you're from Shanghai?"

Qin Fan nodded. "You could say that. I've spent most of these years in the Magic City. Why are you asking this?"

Xie Xiaoxia scratched her head. "My friend invited me to visit Shanghai. It's my first time there, so I wanted to ask about Shanghai and what fun things there are."

"Well... how should I put it? If you're asking me which nightclubs are fun, I can recommend a few. But if you're asking about tourist attractions, you might as well look up guides online. They're more detailed online than I can tell you."

Xu Hongdou kicked him and said, "Who would recommend a nightclub? Don't lead Xia Xia astray."

Xie Xiaochun nodded immediately, "My brother is an honest child, he can't go to that kind of place."

"You guys are showing a cognitive bias. You always think that people who go to bars and nightclubs are not good people. In fact, this phenomenon has long changed. Many young people like to hang out in those places."

"That won't do either. You'll learn bad things if you go to that kind of place!"

Zhou Qingtian asked curiously, "Qin Fan, do you often go to nightclubs?"

Xu Hongdou immediately had a target to vent her emotions on. "He's having so much fun, I wish I could live there every night!"

Qin Fan said seriously, "You're slandering me. I usually book the entire nightclub. Even though they seem to be having a lot of fun, they're all my friends. It's part of our normal social life."

Xu Hongdou snorted softly and retorted, "The person you're holding in your arms and dancing with is also your friend? Aren't you being too enthusiastic towards your friends?"

.......

288: Damn it! He tricked me! Xu Hongdou bit my ear!

Qin Fan: "...That's the atmosphere group! They're just there to cheer us up and put on a show!"

Xu Hongdou: "What a damn show!"

The others were bewildered as to why things were getting awkward while they were talking.

Xie Xiaoxia interrupted, "I want to take a boat ride on the Huangpu River. Brother Qin, have you ever taken one?"

Qin Fan: "I have my own yacht, I can go out to sea anytime I want."

Damn it! He tricked me!

"You have a yacht?"

Seeing that Xie Xiaoxia still wanted to give Boss Qin a chance to show off, Ma Qiushan couldn't stand it anymore and made a fake push towards him.

"Xia Xia, stop asking. You're asking the wrong person. Qin Fan is a wealthy man. The things he plays with are for rich people. How can ordinary people like us afford them?"

"Yeah, Xia Xia, you can't use the answers he gives you, so it's pointless to ask."

Qin Fan disagreed. "You're showing a cognitive bias. If you can't afford to buy a yacht, you can always rent one, right? If you can't afford to rent a big one, what about a small one? If you really want to have fun, just grit your teeth. A trip out to sea only costs tens of thousands of dollars."

"You can't even afford tens of thousands of dollars! You'd better stop instilling this stuff into my brother."

Xie Xiaochun poked his brother's head and said, "I'm warning you, you can go to Shanghai for a few days, but stay as far away from places like nightclubs as possible. You are absolutely not allowed to go!"

Her brother replied, "Sister, what are you thinking? I definitely wouldn't go to that kind of place. I just want to visit the Magic City and see if there are any suitable job opportunities for me."

Xie Zhiyao took the opportunity to turn the topic to the woodcarving workshop. "Xia Xia, you wanted to go to Shanghai to try your luck before. I actually supported you. As a man, it's good to go out and try your luck. Even if you don't make money, it's good to gain some experience. It will be very helpful for your future growth."

"But now, Qin Fan has a big order for the woodcarving workshop. Uncle is seriously short of staff and is planning to call back the apprentices who left earlier. Why do you still want to go out and venture out?"

Ever since hearing Xie Xiaoxia asking Qin Fan about the Magic City, Xie Heshun has been silent, drinking one glass after another.

Xie Xiaoxia glanced at her master and lowered her head. "I just want to make some money. My friend told me he has a friend who does wood carving, so I want to give it a try."

"Which friend?" Qin Fan asked.

"I was doing a live broadcast while practicing wood carving. There were not many people in the live broadcast room. The friend was called xx, and he was my fan. He even gave me a tip."

"You dare to trust a friend you met online? Do you think this happened 20 years ago?"

Xie Xiaochun was also speechless. "I said that to him, but he didn't listen at all."

Xie Xiaoxia was anxious. "We have a good relationship. He even helped me make money. If you don't believe me, just look. He said the stock market has been very hot recently. I invested a thousand yuan and made three hundred yuan in less than a week."

In order to prove her words, Xie Xiaoxia showed Qin Fan the WeChat chat history.

When Qin Fan saw it, he almost burst out laughing.

"It's a low-level trick to cheat you out of your money, and you really believe it?"

Xie Xiaoxia was stunned. "You said he was a liar?"

"Let me see."

Xie Xiaochun hurriedly snatched the phone away, and the others also leaned over to take a look curiously.

"This is obviously a scam. How can you invest a thousand dollars and make three hundred dollars in a week? You idiot! Don't you think about it? If such a good thing really happened, how could it happen to you?"

As she spoke, she went straight to the point and slapped Xie Xiaoxia twice on the forehead.

"I invested a thousand and just happened to make three hundred. Such neat numbers, I can tell at a glance it's a scam."

"Look at the things he sent you, like, 'I'll help you make money,' or, 'You'll have the best food and the best drinks with your brothers.' Even elementary school students nowadays wouldn't believe that."

Xie Zhiyao looked at Xie Xiaoxia with disappointment.

"Xia Xia, why didn't you tell me earlier when you encountered this kind of thing? Am I still your brother Yao? Fortunately, I didn't get cheated out of much, only 700 yuan. Just think of it as paying for a lesson."

Seeing everyone criticizing her, Xie Xiaoxia was dumbfounded?

"Qin...Brother Qin, is that man really a liar?"

Qin Fan patted his shoulder. "Suppose I have a project right now that can net you 30%. Since we're not related, why should I help you make money? To put it bluntly, what qualifications do you have for me to help you make money?"

"I……"

Xie Xiaoxia opened her mouth and listed her abilities. It seemed that apart from her half-baked wood carving skills, she had nothing else.

Even if I show you this skill, Brother Qin won't be interested!

"In other words, Yang Kaiwen was also lying to me when he asked me to go to the Magic City?"

Xie Xiaochun rubbed his brother's head and said, "Alright, don't think about it anymore. I'll go with you to the police tomorrow morning. I'll keep your phone tonight. You are not allowed to contact that scammer in any way..."

At this point, Xie Xiaochun suddenly remembered something and asked anxiously, "You haven't touched the bank card that you left with your mother, have you?"

"No! It's always been with my mother."

"Phew! That's not bad! It's only a loss of 700 yuan. Just think of it as a good meal and let it go."

Xie Xiaoxia lowered her head, feeling extremely depressed and at the same time filled with fear.

Ever since he received the profit of 300 yuan, he has been itching to invest more money and has been thinking about how to get the bank card back from his mother.

Fortunately, I had this dinner today. I knew that bastard was a liar. If I had lost the 30,000 yuan in my card, I would have been in tears.

"Brother Qin, do you think there are a lot of bad guys out there?"

"How should I answer you? The main reason is that you're too naive. If you can't discern people's hearts in the future, just remember one thing: if someone promises you a return that exceeds the interest on government bonds or a five-year deposit, you must be cautious and question yourself."

"Am I worthy of earning this money? Or what qualifications do I have to earn this money? Is he after the principal I have?"

"In a nutshell, make money within your cognitive scope."

"For example, if you master the skill of wood carving, you can sell your finished carvings to make money, or do live broadcasts to earn tips from fans. These are all within the scope of knowledge. You can earn them with peace of mind and feel at ease with the money you earn."

Xie Zhiyao nodded in agreement, "Brother Qin is right. You should immediately give up the idea of ​​going out to explore the world. Learn wood carving from your master. When you become a master, you can consider making money."

Xie Xiaoxia calmed down and smiled gratefully at the two of them.

"Thank you, Brother Qin, you know so much."

"The more you see, the more you will understand."

Xie Zhiyao was quite depressed. He had originally turned the topic to the wood carving workshop, but was interrupted by Xie Xiaoxia and the topic went off track again.

He wanted to talk to Qin Fan about the order several times, but he saw Qin Fan lowering his head and whispering in Xu Hongdou's ear, so he didn't want to disturb him rashly.

.......

289: Xu Hongdou knocks on the door! The TV series's male lead, Xie Zhiyao, assists!

After the meal, there was no chance to discuss cooperation.

Xie Heshun was quite anxious, and his hands under the table would occasionally pull on Xie Zhiyao.

Xie Zhiyao had a lot of grievances, but until the dinner was over, he had no choice but to sit next to Qin Fan.

"Qin Fan, are you free now? Let's talk about purchasing wood carvings."

Qin Fan slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my brain. I almost forgot about it if you didn't mention it."

Xie Zhiyao was choked. He and Xie Heshun were restless throughout the meal, fearing that their hopes would be dashed. It turned out that the other party didn't take this matter to heart at all.

Qin Fan continued, "I plan to replace the wood carvings and wood carvings in the many star-rated hotels and restaurants under my management. I estimate that I will need about 500 wood carvings and 400 wood carvings.

Of course, all of them are wood carvings of the highest quality, and they are carved by the master craftsmen themselves.

People from my company will be coming over in a couple of days, and I estimate there will be more than enough people.”

"So many?" Xie Xiaoxia's eyes widened.

Gum!

Machushan's hands were shaking as he held the wine glass as he pondered how to trick investors into investing.

Zhou Qingtian's eyes lit up, and he felt that he had found the inspiration for the super rich and domineering CEO.

Xu Hongdou pouted, not looking happy. She had placed this order by accident...

Lin Na was dumbfounded and calculated in her mind that the things Qin Fan mentioned must be worth at least five million.

Such a big order without blinking an eye, rich! Really rich!

"Boss Qin, thank you for your support of the woodcarving workshop."

Xie Zhiyao and Xie Heshun were both very excited, especially Xie Heshun, who was very excited.

"Did you bring the contract?" Qin Fan asked.

Xie Zhiyao replied, "Some of the clauses in the contract I brought today need to be revised. I'll go back and revise them."

After thinking for a moment, Xie Zhiyao tactfully suggested, "Boss Qin, why don't you call your lawyer over and have him confirm the contract first? Once everything is settled, we can sign it later."

Qin Fan thought about it and it made sense. Although the company belonged to him, this was an order under the company's name, not his personal name, so it would be better to be more formal.

So he said, "How about this, when my people come over, you talk to them."

"Then it's settled. Thank you again, Mr. Qin, for your support of the woodcarving workshop."

Xie Zhiyao held Qin Fan's hand and shook it vigorously. This thank you came from the heart and was not just superficial politeness.

It has been two years since he returned to his hometown to start a business, and only he knows the bitterness and hardships he has experienced.

It is definitely a blessing for the wood carving workshop and the village to meet a generous boss like Qin Fan.

"You're welcome. I decided to purchase it because Uncle Xie is a state-level intangible cultural heritage inheritor. If he didn't have this title, I wouldn't consider it even if you talked me into it."

"I won't say much to express my gratitude. My uncle and I will go back first." Xie Zhiyao and Xie Heshun left together.

Machushan waited for several hours and finally got his chance.

So he quickly approached Qin Fan and showed the most enthusiastic smile ever, "Would you like some tea?"

"Forget about drinking tea, Doudou. We ate too much just now. How about we exercise together?" Qin Fan said.

Xu Hongdou rolled her eyes at him and said, "Go back to sleep quickly. You can dream about anything."

"You're such a person... I kindly invited you out for a walk, but why don't you say anything nice to me?"

"Humph! Don't think I don't know what you're talking about."

Xu Hongdou turned around and left gracefully.

Machushan froze there. Am I being ignored?

Qin Fan's face was full of innocence. "Nana, you saw it all. Who is she targeting?"

Lin Na: "Who told you to always say dirty things? It would be strange if Hongdou would be nice to you. You said you are so handsome, why can't you say something that meets the standard of appearance?"
