Chapter 121: I'm the son of Su's father! Seeking the moon
In the following three years, Qin Hao was not idle while studying as a graduate student. In 2011, with the two generations of iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S sweeping the world, Qin Hao's entrepreneurial project "Shared Power Bank" also swept the entire European and American markets and became popular.
The concept of "sharing economy".
Qin Hao also relied on this project to become an upstart in the technology circle, with his net worth rising from one billion yuan to billions of dollars. Su Mingyu, as the general manager of "HR Technology", has also become a hot professional manager on Wall Street.
The two also successfully graduated from Stanford University, fulfilling Su Mingyu's dream of studying abroad.
"Mr. Qin, get up quickly, the sun is shining on your butt."
Qin Hao was dazzled by the dazzling sunlight, but Su Mingyu had already pulled him up.
"Sister, it's the weekend, and you tormented me so late last night, can you let me calm down for a while?" Qin Hao fell back directly, covered his face with a pillow, and prepared to continue sleeping.
Su Mingyu spat: "You still have the nerve to say that it was obviously you who was going to cause trouble last night. Get up quickly. You have to go to my eldest brother's house soon."
Qin Hao knew that he would not be able to sleep when he returned to the cage today. It was funny to say that the reason why Su Mingzhe knew that Su Mingyu came to the United States was because he read the news in the newspaper.
At first, when Su Mingzhe saw the news about Su Mingyu in the newspaper, he thought he had the same name and did not take it seriously. Later, as the influence of "HR Technology" grew, Su Mingyu began to appear frequently on some media covers and
Only on the TV show did Su Mingzhe dare to believe that this was his sister.
Originally, Su Mingzhe was a little aloof and felt that his sister was getting rich, but now that someone came to his door, people would say that he was taking advantage of his sister. It was not until he was preparing for the wedding with Wu Fei that he took the initiative to contact Su Mingyu.
When Su Mingyu was in high school, Su Mingzhe would occasionally give lectures to Su Mingyu. This was one of the few warm memories Su Mingyu had of the Su family.
"Good boy, change your clothes quickly. I've squeezed out the toothpaste for you. I'll accompany my sister-in-law to try on wedding dresses later." Su Mingyu coaxed. Over the years, she has figured out Qin Hao's temper. He is a docile donkey.
, have to be coaxed to come.
Qin Hao had no choice but to crawl out of bed and wash up slowly.
Su Mingzhe and Wu Fei were alumni who met in college and gradually developed into a relationship. However, Su Mingzhe had just graduated a few years ago, encountered the subprime mortgage crisis, and his job was not stable, so he had been putting off the wedding.
After the economy recovered and work gradually stabilized, we began to prepare for the wedding.
Qin Hao and Wu Fei met twice, and I have to say that Su Mingzhe is very lucky. Although Wu Fei is not a beautiful girl, he is still a little girl, has a good personality, and is more considerate in dealing with people than Su Mingzhe.
Su Mingyu had a good impression of this sister-in-law, and this time she agreed to be Wu Fei's bridesmaid for the first time.
At this time, Su Mingzhe and Wu Fei were still living in a rented place. With their current salaries, they could not afford to buy a house, let alone the expensive property tax.
"Mingyu, Qin Hao, you are here, please come in." Wu Fei warmly welcomed the two of them through the door.
Su Mingzhe was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper. When he saw the two people coming in, he just nodded slightly and said, "Here we come."
Qin Hao secretly laughed in his heart, this man really always acted like the eldest son of Su at all times.
"Brother, you took down the newspaper." Su Mingyu suddenly rolled her eyes and pointed at the newspaper in Su Mingzhe's hand.
Su Mingzhe was startled, but when he looked carefully, he found that he had not knocked it down at all. He could only put down the newspaper and glare at Su Mingyu.
"You are so old, but you still like to play pranks, and you are not afraid of Xiao Qin's jokes."
Su Mingyu laughed and defended: "I call those who are close to Mo black, and I learned it from him."
Wu Fei pulled Su Mingyu and said, "Don't pay attention to him. He's just a habit of lecturing people. Come on, come with me to try on wedding dresses. I fell in love with a wedding dress last time. It's very beautiful."
After saying that, he pulled Su Mingyu out, and Qin Hao and Su Mingzhe had no choice but to follow.
Arriving at the bridal shop, Wu Fei was trying on wedding dresses, and Su Mingyu was also trying on bridesmaid dresses. Wu Fei suddenly whispered to Su Mingyu.
"By the way, how are you and Qin Hao? When are you planning to hold the wedding?"
Su Mingyu's expression was a little gloomy.
Wu Fei sighed, took Su Mingyu's hand and asked with concern: "Mingyu, is Qin Hao carrying you..."
Su Mingyu shook her head: "Sister-in-law, it's not what you think. He is very good. It's my problem."
"Your problem? Could it be that you..." Wu Fei's eyes widened.
Su Mingyu patted her: "Sister-in-law, what are you thinking? I just don't have confidence in starting a family."
Wu Fei patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "Hey, I'm scared to death, Mingyu, don't blame my sister-in-law for talking too much. A young and rich man like Qin Hao is very popular even in the United States. He
Since there are no such frivolous things and your relationship is so good, it’s better to hold the wedding as soon as possible.”
Su Mingyu patted Su Mingyu's hand: "Sister-in-law, I know you are doing it for my own good, thank you."
Wu Fei sighed secretly and could only say this. After all, it was still a lifelong matter, so she could only remind him.
Half an hour later, Wu Fei and Su Mingyu finally walked out.
Wu Fei looked radiant in a white wedding dress, while Mingyu chose a pink bridesmaid dress. Under Qin Hao's care over the years, Su Mingyu still maintained the appearance of a girl in college. In addition to her temperament, she was in court.
Following the strong woman, nothing else has changed.
"Fei Fei, you are too beautiful." It was rare for Su Mingzhe to say something disgusting in front of so many people.
Wu Fei was also very satisfied with Su Mingzhe's reaction.
Qin Hao walked around Su Mingyu and frowned slightly.
Su Mingyu glared at Qin Hao: "What do you mean? Am I not good-looking?"
"Look, you're overthinking it, aren't you? I mean, is this dress too plain?" Qin Hao said, choosing another dress for Su Mingyu.
Wu Fei secretly smiled bitterly. The bridesmaid dress that Qin Hao picked could buy her three wedding dresses. She was indeed very wealthy.
Su Mingyu pulled Qin Hao and said in a low voice: "Are you stupid? This is my sister-in-law's wedding, and I am the one to accompany her. Doesn't it steal her limelight by dressing so well?"
"Actually, I think I look better in this outfit than your sister-in-law."
"Virtue!" Su Mingyu said this, but it felt very useful in her heart.
Women, what you say is not what you mean.
After trying on wedding dresses, Su Mingzhe invited guests to dinner. At the dinner table, Su Mingzhe suddenly said with emotion.
"Oh, it's a pity that I haven't gotten my green card yet, so I can't bring my parents over to have fun."
Wu Fei was secretly glad, otherwise this trip would cost him no idea how much it would cost, and their salary wouldn't even be enough to subsidize it.
When the Su family was mentioned, Su Mingyu's face changed. Qin Hao took Su Mingyu's hand at the dining table and squeezed it.
Su Mingyu smiled at Qin Hao, indicating that she was fine.
As a result, Su Mingzhe said again: "By the way, Mingyu, your second brother is also getting married at the end of the year. Let's go to his wedding together then. Our family has not been reunited for a long time."
Wu Fei didn't know about Su Mingyu and the Su family, but she still noticed something was wrong with Su Mingyu's expression.
Before Su Mingyu could speak, Qin Hao said to Su Mingzhe: "Brother, this is not a coincidence. Our company will have big plans at the end of the year, and I guess Mingyu won't be able to get away by then."
Su Mingzhe had no doubts, but was very interested in the big move Qin Hao mentioned. After all, he also worked in IT.
"That's right, our company has been developing well recently. The number of user members in North America alone has exceeded 20 million. However, the development in Europe has not met expectations. The main reason is that the funds cannot keep up, so I plan to conduct a third project in the near future.
This round of financing will focus on the European market at the end of the year.”
Wu Fei clicked his tongue: "The third round of financing is going to be held so soon? I remember that your company's last round of financing was valued at US$2 billion, right?"
Qin Hao nodded: "Well, the valuation of the third round of financing is expected to triple. After all, we are currently the only profitable sharing economy project."
Su Mingzhe couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this. Two billion U.S. dollars tripled, that is six billion U.S. dollars. If it were to go public at this rate, it would be at least tens of billions of U.S. dollars, higher than their company's market value.
Su Mingyu looked at Qin Hao gratefully. She had never had a good relationship with Su Mingcheng, and she didn't want to attend his wedding at all.
After dinner, Qin Hao and Su Mingyu left, and Su Mingzhe and Wu Fei also returned home.
The two were sitting on the sofa. Wu Fei suddenly pushed Su Mingzhe: "Husband, have you noticed that Mingyu's attitude towards the Su family is a bit strange?"
Su Mingzhe said nonchalantly: "Hey, you are overthinking. Didn't Qin Hao say that he will send Mingyu to Europe to develop markets at the end of the year..."
Wu Fei interrupted directly: "No, it's only August. How can things at the end of the year be decided so quickly? Moreover, Mingyu didn't even ask about the date of Mingcheng's wedding, nor did he ask us to help bring a gift back.
"
Su Mingzhe thought for a while: "What you said seems true. Well, Mingyu and Mingcheng have not dealt with each other since they were young. They often quarreled and fought. My mother has always favored Mingcheng. I guess Mingyu was also angry for a while. It's okay.
, we are a family after all, Mingyu will figure it out."
Wu Fei felt that things were not that simple, so she cautiously suggested: "How about we not go back?"
Su Mingzhe was unhappy when he heard this: "How can that be done? As Su's eldest son, my younger brother is getting married, how can I not be present?"
Wu Fei reminded: "Then if the relationship between Mingyu and Mingcheng cannot be eased in the future, or there is a conflict, whose side will you stand on?"
"Why is this talking about the team? Impossible. Although Mingyu and Mingcheng don't usually deal with each other, they are still brothers and sisters. How can they become enemies?" Su Mingzhe glared at Wu Fei angrily.
Wu Fei turned off the TV directly, sat with his legs crossed, and analyzed Su Mingzhe seriously.
"Look, Mingyu is now the general manager of HR Technology. She is considered to be an upper-middle-class person in the entire United States. Not to mention her boyfriend Qin Hao, who is an upstart in the technology industry, a real rich man, and he is also in IT.
In the future, these will be your connections..."
Su Mingzhe stood up immediately: "What do you mean? I, Su Mingzhe, a top student who graduated from Stanford, do I have to rely on nepotism to gain a foothold in the United States?"
Wu Fei didn't understand very much: "Mingyu is your biological sister, and the United States is also a humane society. Isn't it normal for brothers and sisters to help each other? Why can't it be done?"
"I won't do it if I say no!" Su Mingzhe said and went back to the room angrily, slamming the door shut.
Wu Fei hammered the pillow several times in frustration. Her husband was too rigid and wanted to save face!
Soon the day of Su Mingzhe's wedding came.
Wu Fei's parents applied for tourist visas in advance and made a special trip to attend their wedding. The two old people seemed very kind and loving. No wonder they raised Wu Fei as gentle as jade.
For this wedding, Su Mingzhe only invited some colleagues from the company and classmates from Stanford. They are basically engaged in the IT industry. The wedding was a bit like an industry exchange meeting.
Just when everyone was chatting enthusiastically, the arrival of Qin Hao and Su Mingyu immediately changed the atmosphere at the scene.
"Mr. Qin, Mr. Su, I am Li Bin from XS Company. I was lucky enough to see you two last time. I didn't expect to meet you here. What a fate."
"Yeah, I really didn't expect to meet Mr. Qin and Mr. Su here..."
Facing the compliments from everyone, Su Mingyu just said indifferently: "Su Mingzhe is my eldest brother. Sorry, everyone, I am the bridesmaid today. I have to prepare first."
After Qin Hao and Su Mingyu left, the banquet scene exploded. Who would have thought that Su Mingzhe, who is usually honest and amiable, would have such a big backstage?
Soon a classmate found Su Mingzhe.
"Okay, Mingzhe, are you too low-key? After so many years, you haven't even let us know anything about it!"
"Yeah, you don't take your old classmates seriously. You have such a big backstage and you actually start from the grassroots level of our company. If David knew about this, he wouldn't treat you as his ancestor!"
However, in the face of these compliments, Su Mingzhe's face became increasingly ugly.
On the other hand, Su Mingyu came to the dressing room, and Wu Fei complained: "Miss Su, you are so slow. My wedding has almost started before you come!"
Su Mingyu joked: "What? If I don't come, will you still be married?"
"Go, what are you talking about? Hurry up and change your clothes and put on makeup!" Wu Fei patted Su Mingyu angrily.
While they were laughing and joking, Su Mingyu had already changed into the bridesmaid's clothes. Wu Fei chatted with Su Mingyu for a few more words, and then he heard someone urging him outside the door, so Wu Fei and several bridesmaids came to the church.
Western-style weddings are relatively simple. The priest speaks in plain language, and then the newlyweds exchange rings.
Wu Fei was doing everything normally, but Su Mingzhe was a little out of shape and distracted from time to time, which made the priest very unhappy. Wu Fei was also very dissatisfied with this. If he hadn't saved Su Mingzhe's face in public, he would have given up on the spot.
After the wedding, when he returned home, Wu Fei asked angrily: "Su Mingzhe, what do you mean? You don't want to marry me, do you? You can say it clearly, there is no need to embarrass me during the wedding ceremony!"
Su Mingzhe grimaced: "No, Fei Fei, I swear, I definitely didn't mean that. I was just a little distracted at the time!"
"Distracted? What are you thinking about such a big thing like getting married? Tell me clearly!" Wu Fei was furious.
Su Mingzhe told what happened at the wedding: "Now my colleagues and classmates know that Su Mingyu is my biological sister. Even if I get a promotion and a salary increase in the future, people will definitely say that I owe it to her."
.”
Wu Fei said depressedly: "Just for this?"
"Is this too young? This is an insult to my ability! I am a top student at Stanford..."
"Come on, I'm in the same school as you, and I'm not working as a receptionist in a hospital. What's there to brag about? Now I can see that nothing is as good as a beautiful knife!"
"vulgar!"
"Okay, I am vulgar and you are noble. You can just spend the night on the sofa tonight. My vulgar bed cannot accommodate a noble Buddha like you."
"...."
Soon Su Mingzhe's wedding vacation ended. When he returned to the company to work, he found that his colleagues were much more enthusiastic about him than before. As soon as he sat down to prepare for work, he was informed by human resources that David was looking for him.
When I arrived at David's office, David greeted me warmly as soon as I entered the door, without any of the arrogance in the past.
David first greeted Su Mingzhe, and then said to Su Mingzhe: "Su, you have been here for a while. After my observation of you, you are a reliable talent, so the company decided to promote you to the R&D department."
Team leader, salary and benefits will be doubled..."
Su Mingzhe's head buzzed, and he couldn't listen to what David said next.
Promotion and salary increase, this is the goal he has been working hard for, but it was achieved so easily?
But Su Mingzhe was in a very complicated mood at the moment. David had never given him such courtesy in the past. Obviously, he did this not because of his good work performance as it seemed on the surface, but because of Su Mingyu, no, to be precise.
Said that it should be Qin Hao behind Su Mingyu.
Su Mingzhe was very entangled and refused promotion and salary increase? He was reluctant to give up, but if he accepted it like this, wouldn't he be practicing nepotism?
When David saw Su Mingzhe's expression, he thought he looked down on him, so he said with some embarrassment: "Su, after all, you have only been in the company for two years. If you are directly promoted to a higher position, I am afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among others...
..."
When Su Mingzhe heard this, he quickly said: "David, I obey the company's arrangements!"
David was overjoyed when he heard this: "Haha, that's good. Don't worry, after you have been in the position of team leader for a period of time and have achieved results, the company will entrust you with important tasks."
Before Su Mingzhe could be happy, David suddenly changed the topic: "Well, Su, you also know that the company has encountered some financial problems recently. Can you help build a bridge and contact HR Technology?"
Su Mingzhe was completely numb. This was too naked and undisguised. Su Mingzhe had the urge to throw his work badge on David's face and walk away, but the consequence of doing so was that his previous
All efforts were in vain.
On the one hand, he was getting a promotion and a salary increase, and on the other hand, he was trying to save face as the eldest son of Su. Su Mingzhe didn't know what to choose.
After returning home, Wu Fei clearly noticed that Su Mingzhe's mood was not normal.
Su Mingzhe rubbed his temples and explained the situation again.
Wu Fei was overjoyed when he heard that Su Mingzhe was going to get a promotion and a salary increase: "What's there to worry about? You just play the role of a matchmaker. Investing in such a big thing involves all aspects. Even if we can't reach an agreement in the end, I can't agree with you."
It doesn't matter, the company just helped you up, you won't slap yourself in the face."
