007. Choose friends and preferences

Two months later.

Qi Yu, who was on summer vacation, followed his father's arrangement and came back from school early.

That night, Qi Yuancheng specially asked Anne to cook Qi Yu's favorite dishes to help him catch the wind and wash away the dust.

"Is everything okay in school?" Qi Yuancheng asked him during dinner, "Have you met any good classmates?"

"It's not bad. It's busier than in high school." The father and son ate more casually, and Qi Yu didn't pay much attention to etiquette. He said while eating, "There are classmates from all over the country, and I even met two from China."

"Oh? What kind of people are they?" Qi Yuancheng asked.

"They are both girls, and their relationship is average."

"..."

Qi Yuancheng asked: "Then what else do you do besides attending classes?"

"Reading books and playing the piano in the dormitory," Qi Yu took a bite of the steamed seabass cooked by Anne, and his eyes lit up. "Sometimes I go out to listen to a concert and exercise..."

"one person?"

"Um."

"Isn't it boring?" Qi Yuancheng asked curiously.

"It's boring."

"..."

Qi Yuancheng didn't even know how to chat with his son.

After a while, he couldn't help but said: "You don't seem to make friends with your classmates."

This has been the case since Qi Yu transferred to the United States when he was ten years old. At first, Qi Yuancheng thought that he just couldn't adapt and would get better after a while. But from elementary school, middle school, to now college... he seemed to have never seen Qi Yu mention any of his classmates.

We have a very good relationship, and I have never seen him bring any friends of his own age back home.

"Dad..." Qi Yu lowered his eyes and slowly picked out the fish, and asked, "If I say that I think my classmates are a bit naive, will you think I'm arrogant?"

Qi Yuancheng was stunned: "Childish?"

"I just feel that they are simple and have never experienced anything." He raised his eyes, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, "I don't have anything in common with them, how can I make friends?"

Qi Yuancheng: "..."

Qi Yuancheng recalled that nine years ago, Qi Yu came to the United States with him. He was afraid that his son would be lonely at home, so he took him with him almost everywhere, whether he went to work, had meetings, went out to socialize, or even went to various parts of the world to discuss business and meet friends.

, as long as Qi Yu is willing, he will never shy away from taking him with him.

Now listening to what Qi Yu said, thinking about this child who has seen so much of the world since he was a child, he may indeed be more mature than his peers.

Qi Yu continued: "I like to associate with people who are older than me, such as Brother Xu Jing, he knows a lot, and I can chat easily with him."

Qi Yuancheng seemed to suddenly understand something and suddenly said: "No wonder..."

Xu Jing came to Siyuan six years ago. Originally, the young man had just graduated with a master's degree and was just applying for a job as a deputy manager in Meiwei's marketing department. One time Qi Yu went to the company and somehow got to know him.

At that time, Qi Yuancheng felt a little surprised, because he rarely saw Qi Yu chatting with someone for such a long time, so he couldn't help but pay more attention to Xu Jing. Later, he saw that Qi Yu was with Xu Jing every time he went to the company, so he simply

He was mentioned as the secretary of the board of directors so that Qi Yu could find him easily.

Xu Jing did not live up to his expectations. In those years, he almost took care of Qi Yu as his younger brother.

Qi Yu was just in middle school at the time, and Xu Jing was twelve years older than him. He also had a master's degree from a prestigious school. He was able to give him good advice and help, both in his studies and in life.

When weekends are free, Xu Jing will take the initiative to take Qi Yu out to watch movies and exhibitions. Apart from their respective work and studies, the two of them can be said to be inseparable...

Now after listening to Qi Yu's explanation, Qi Yuancheng understood that it was not that Xu Jing was special in Qi Yu's heart, but that this person just happened to follow his son's preference in choosing friends.

Qi Yuancheng put down his chopsticks and muttered: "I understand what you said. Dad doesn't think you are arrogant. It's just Qi Yu. If you want to manage in the future, you will have to deal with all kinds of people. Xu Jing is outstanding, but

There are more ordinary excellent people in this world, and even mediocre people. Only by making the right use of mediocre people can we become excellent entrepreneurs..."

Listening to his father's endless talk, Qi Yu said a dull "hmm" and continued to work on the half seabass on the table.

Qi Yuancheng held up his chopsticks again, took a bite of food, and said: "Stafford is already a top school. Anyone who can study there is not an ordinary person. You can pay more attention to the classmates around you. If you feel that

Yes, just try to make friends with them. They are likely to become your important contacts and resources in the future. If you meet someone from an average family background, you can also recruit them to see if they are willing to do things with you in the future..."

Qi Yu suddenly interrupted him and said: "Dad, help me clamp it."

Qi Yuancheng: "???"

Qiyu: "Fish."

I saw Qi Yu using chopsticks to shave the backbone of the fish in the middle, lifting it from the tail until it got stuck at the head of the fish.

Qi Yuancheng helped to break the fish bones. Seeing the satisfied look on Qi Yu's face when he pocketed the large piece of fish meat from the bottom into the bowl, he couldn't help but sigh and stopped preaching.

After dinner, Qi Yuancheng called Qi Yu to his study room and handed him a stack of printed materials: "Have you finished your accounting class?"

"Yeah." Qi Yu took it and took a look and saw that it was the financial report of Meiwei Clothing Company last year.

"Just in time, Meiwei's CFO showed this to me in April. I have already read it once and feel that there is something wrong with Meiwei's financial statements this year."

"What's wrong?" Qi Yu looked at his father.

"Meiwei's profits have been declining for three consecutive years. I have a gut feeling that there is something wrong with the company's operations, but I haven't found out which link has the problem." Qi Yuancheng picked up the tea cup and drank some water, and said, "But

, I don’t expect you to help me find the problem, just take a look at it based on the knowledge you learned in school - the financial statement data reflects the true operating status of a company, and learning to read financial reports can give you a further understanding of the company.

learn."

"Oh?" After hearing what his father said, Qi Yu was aroused to be competitive, "Then what if I help you find the problem?"

"Haha, the responsibility of finance is to balance the accounts, and a capable accountant can make the accounts beautiful. If anyone can easily see the problem, I don't need to spend money to hire senior talents to do the accounts," Qi Yuancheng smiled.

He looked at him as if he was laughing at his overestimation, but in order to encourage his son, he slowly changed his tone and said, "Well, if you see this, I will change your car for you."

Qi Yu said indifferently: "I'm not interested in that."

Qi Yuancheng asked: "Then what do you want?"

Qi Yu raised his eyelids and said deliberately: "If I help you find the problem, can you stop caring about which friends I make in the future?"

Qi Yuancheng choked and smiled bitterly in his heart, it turned out that this boy was waiting for him here.

Hey, after all, I thought he was too long-winded.

After successfully choking his father, Qi Yu took the financial report and walked out: "Then I can read it at home and don't have to go to the company?"

"It's up to you. Anyway, you used to go to the company often and know the situation of each department. It's the same at home..." Qi Yuancheng said, but suddenly thought of something, stopped him and said, "By the way, I'm going to do it next week

I'm on a business trip to Japan, and Si Hang is coming to the United States, so you can entertain him."

"Si Hang? Who?" Qi Yu stopped.

"He is your Uncle Si's youngest son, whom you met when you were young."

Qi Yu recalled it for two seconds and then remembered: "Oh... that 'naughty bag'."

Uncle Si is dad’s business partner and another shareholder of Siyuan Group.

In the early years when they were still in China, the two families moved around frequently.

Uncle Si also has two sons, the eldest is named Si Ze, who is about eight or nine years older than him, and the younger is named Si Hang, whose birth date is only a few months different from that of Xiao Feng.

This Si Hang was very naughty. The first time he went to their house to play, he broke his mother's favorite enamel porcelain vase and took away Qi Feng's Transformers, making Qi Feng so angry that he cried.

For this reason, he almost got into a fight with Si Hang, but later an adult came forward to separate them. Then Uncle Si gave Si Hang a gentle lesson, and the children pretended to shake hands and make peace.

Many years have passed, and although Qi Yu no longer remembers the other person's appearance, the guy's arrogant and mischievous character left a deep impression on him.

"Why did he come to the United States?" Qi Yu asked.

"I heard from his father that Si Hang loves to play games. His brother set up a game company for him, and then formed some kind of team to come here to participate in the competition..." Qi Yuancheng was also confused at the time.

My son tried to express it but couldn't express it completely, "I don't understand much about you young people. You can ask him yourself later. I think what your uncle Si means is that he wants you, the younger generation, to take this opportunity to get together and talk about things."

Reminiscing about old times, I also asked Sihang to learn from you."

Qi Yu smiled: "We are the same age, what can he learn from me?"

Qi Yuancheng said: "Uncle Si heard that you were studying at Stafford, and he praised you very much. Si Hang is not very good at studies. Your uncle Si sent him to a good school last year, but like Wen Hui, he is also a little unprofessional.

"

"This kind of thing depends on personal consciousness. What's the use of relying on other people's opinions?" Qi Yu commented casually, but he knew that this task could not be turned off, so he did not say anything more, "Okay, you can let him directly when the time comes.

Contact me and I will take him to play here."

A few days later, Si Hang added his WeChat account.

To be honest, Qi Yu doesn't usually use this. He usually makes phone calls directly to communicate with people close to him. The reason for applying for an account was purely because Qi Feng said that everyone in China uses WeChat and it is very convenient to chat, so he was fooled into pretending. In the end, he pretended.

After that, he didn't see Qi Feng chatting with him several times.

Qi Yu thought it was troublesome, so he never deleted it. Later, he added his mother and Xu Jing, but they still didn't use it frequently.

After Si Hang joined him, he asked politely: "Brother Yu, where are you in the United States?"

Island: "New City."
