Chapter 26

Brother Tian~

A "Brother Tian" hit Old Tian's weak spot.

Behind them, it wasn't just the two managers going out to buy some Nokia 3210; Yao Weihong and Fan Qingxi were also mobilized to go out and purchase.

Zhan Qi Laiden and Shi Feng had to deal with the new rumors Qi Hao created and couldn't go.

Gao Fei went to her own home to look.

It was said she had a small warehouse inside which were all birthday gifts, Children's Day gifts, New Year gifts, Mid-Autumn Festival gifts given by her dad... many of which hadn't been used.

Qi Hao himself also went out.

A military overcoat, hat, scarf, and a pair of light tea-colored glasses; although he looked a bit sneaky, at least no one could recognize that he was the popular star who fell flat on the red carpet a few days ago.

Everyone was assigned according to region to avoid repeating useless work.

Either achieve the goal, or reach the graveyard!

Qi Hao went to the Xizhimen mobile phone street.

"Boss..."

The boss looked up and was startled, thinking he had run into a robber.

Fortunately, the next words weren't "Boss, lend me some money to spend."

"Do you have a Nokia 3210?" Qi Hao asked directly; he didn't have time to chat with the boss, there were too many mobile phone stores waiting for him to patronize.

"Nokia, yes, the latest N93i, 3.2 million pixels... and the E90 is also not bad, wait, what do you want?"

The shop owner suspected he had misheard.

"3210!"

"No!"

"Bye then!"

One after another, Qi Hao walked to seven or eight stores and didn't run into anyone who still had stock from eight years ago.

At most, some stores asked if he wanted second-hand.

And it was the kind of second-hand goods that were almost about to be polished to a shine.

The Nokia 3210 had a launch price of over three thousand, which was two or three months' salary for many people.

No matter how arrogant the shop was, they wouldn't stock it.

From past ten in the morning until one-thirty in the afternoon, Qi Hao ran through three streets and didn't run into any.

Just when he was hesitating whether to continue looking, Zhang Nan had news.

Qi Hao rushed to the company and saw a dozen mobile phone boxes on the table.

"Are they all?"

"Yes, they are all Nokia 3210s, and there are other models; if you want them, I'll go move them." Zhang Nan nodded.

"I looked for a long time and didn't find any, and was treated like a lunatic; how did you find them?"

Qi Hao felt his IQ had been insulted.

He admitted he wasn't too smart and occasionally didn't like to use his brain, but this huge gap still made him feel like doubting life.

Could it be that his cerebellum was underdeveloped and his cerebrum was completely undeveloped?

"I also looked at many stores and didn't find any, so I knew it was impossible to find a Nokia 3210 this way; I changed my thinking, called some acquaintances and friends in state-owned enterprises, asked if they had any left from previous procurement, and it turned out I really found some."

Zhang Nan wasn't too proud.

He just felt that those state-owned enterprises were poorly managed, overly extravagant and wasteful, and didn't have a perfect accountability mechanism.

It really wasn't suitable for going in to do business.

"How much did it cost?" Qi Hao actually didn't need so many.

One was enough for him to use.

But since Zhang Nan had brought them, he didn't mind buying them all; he couldn't let the employees bear the cost themselves.

That kind of boss was simply not human.

"Didn't cost money; they just cleared the inventory casually." Zhang Nan said indifferently.

"Then I'll treat everyone to a meal; what does everyone want to eat?"

Qi Hao distributed the dozen or so phones, one to each person; he only took two.

"There is an Akasaka-tei in the shopping mall next door that is not bad." The old legal counsel Yao Weihong's belly, one look and you knew he was a veteran foodie.

Very fat, and the reason was that he had never been thin since childhood.

"What Akasaka-tei, I only know Akasaka Rei." Old Tian casually teased.

"Is Akasaka Rei delicious?" The coal boss's daughter became spirited.

"Don't teach children bad things!" Marketing director Shi Feng rolled his eyes; the company's future growth depended on the coal boss.

They were sent here to connect with society, not to give birth.

"Haven't you eaten chestnuts?" Old Tian turned to ask Gao Fei.

Gao Fei realized: "Chestnuts, I love eating chestnuts; I'll ask the auntie to make some and bring them tomorrow."

The group went to the restaurant to eat.

Have to say, these people in Qi Hao's studio were all quite good, and everyone got along especially well.

Most of them were "oxen and horses" who worked for money; the boss treating them to a meal made them feel very happy.

And Zhan Qi Laiden's mouth was like it had been sewn shut.

If it wasn't particularly necessary, he wouldn't even say a word.

But Qi Hao suspected that suppressing himself like this would inevitably lead to him launching a large-scale revenge on his company colleagues after passing the probation period.

"Dong Jie seems to be with Pan Yueming; boss, have you ever had rumors with her?" Gao Fei asked curiously.

Only she dared to ask the boss such a topic.

"Dong Jie, no... right?" Qi Hao looked at Old Tian for help.

After all, the entertainment industry was only that big; even if they hadn't collaborated, they couldn't stop having various activities, and the chance of intersection was high.

Especially when their social circles had intersections, it was easy to be introduced and get to know each other.

"Look, he's not even sure himself." Old Tian was amused.

He had always suggested that Qi Hao let him have guardianship of Ao Bai.

Qi Hao wasn't suitable for raising Ao Bai.

He was suitable for raising a Husky, which would be a perfect match for him.

"Then what about Liu Tao? Why didn't you go to her wedding with Wang Ke? Are they true love? I have netizens saying Liu Tao just values Wang Ke's money."

Gao Fei seemed more interested in this kind of online gossip.

In fact, the reason she agreed to her dad to come out to work, besides her dad crying too terrifyingly, was to listen to entertainment gossip at close range, which she could take back and share with her wild boy.

"I'm not familiar with them, so I didn't go; besides, I don't really want to go to the weddings of wealthy families; as for the two of them... I think it might be love at first sight."

Qi Hao didn't know how to explain it either.

About the same age, look at Zhang Nan, outstanding work ability, focused on doing business; look at Gao Fei again, simply a... wealthy little waste.

"Pfft~" Old Tian sneered, but didn't say anything mocking.

Zhan Qi Laiden stuffed another piece of meat into his already full mouth.

It was stuffed so full his eyeballs were about to pop out.

Absolutely no possibility of making any mocking sound.

"Is Fan Xuexue's hand soft?" Seeing that the boss was quite amiable, Gao Fei became more and more bold.

"It's okay." Qi Hao didn't know how to evaluate it.

"Then..." Gao Fei was obviously not satisfied with such an answer.

"That's enough." Qi Hao was a bit afraid of her now; you are a curious baby, with so many questions.

Soft or not, what kind of messy questions are these?

People who don't know would think you're a female pervert.

As your dad's brother, don't blame me for criticizing you.

"Celebrities are no different from normal people; at most, there are slightly more beauties in the entertainment industry; don't take celebrities too seriously."

Old Tian gave a piece of advice.

"I'm just curious; if our boss goes to film or see any stars next time, can I follow along to see?"

Setting aside the endless money at home, Gao Fei was just an ordinary girl.

And the kind that hadn't been polluted by too much knowledge and society.

"You can, but you can't make me lose too much face."

What else could Qi Hao say?

In fact, many practitioners in the entertainment industry were quite gossipy.

Qi Hao had signed many autographs for people on set.

It's just that, perhaps out of jealousy, or perhaps out of concern for benefit transfer, many stars didn't like their team members being fans of other stars.

Qi Hao didn't care much about these.

He didn't have many requirements for employees; just do the job well.

Everyone is born of a mother and raised by a father; there's no need to treat others like servants.

Seeing that there were only a few days left until the New Year, Qi Hao decided to take Ao Bai back to his hometown.

With so many days for the New Year, he wasn't at ease leaving Ao Bai alone in the capital.

And Qi Hao's hometown, Jinmen, wasn't far from here.

He could just drive himself.

After the studio was established, the company purchased several cars; it was said that this could offset taxes to a certain extent.

After a two-hour drive, Qi Hao returned to his hometown.

Of course, he didn't forget to bring the Nokia 3210.

"Hey, isn't that Little Qi Hao! The big star is home!"

The old grandmother on the first floor saw Qi Hao and immediately shouted with full vigor.

"Grandma, have you eaten? Don't tease me; I'm not any big star." Qi Hao begged for mercy.

After chatting with the old grandmother downstairs for a few sentences, he escaped upstairs.

Qi Hao's home was a century-old house.

In the past, Jinmen was forced to become a nine-nation concession, and many old houses at that time achieved the current so-called "Exhibition Hall of Ten Thousand Nations Architecture."

Later, these old houses were distributed to the poor.

From the outside, it looked like a townhouse, but inside it was dilapidated and very inconvenient.

Qi Hao's parents were both primary school teachers and were also allocated a house.

He had always wanted his parents to move out and buy them a unit apartment to live in, but unfortunately, they had lived there for decades and were used to it, and had never been willing to move away.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back!"

Qi Hao put the cat cage on the ground and patted the door with one hand.

"What is this?" Opening the door and seeing his son with bags big and small, Qi Dad couldn't help but frown.

"It's New Year; I bought some things; where's Mom?"

Qi Hao handed the cat cage to his dad and followed him into the house.

Their family were both employees, so the house they were allocated was slightly larger, so it didn't seem that crowded, but it wasn't very spacious for a family of four to live in either.

"Went to the market with your sister; told her not to go but she insisted; the market is packed with people."

The old man mumbled and found clothes for Qi Hao.

The house's heating had been renovated and it was a bit too hot; if Qi Hao didn't take off the clothes he came back in from outside, he would soon be heat-exhausted.

"Dad, tell you something."

"Go ahead!"

"Don't get angry after I tell you." Qi Hao was really a bit nervous.

"What do you mean? Is there a Kitty cat stuck in your throat? Speak directly, why are you stuttering?"

The more the old man looked at this brat Qi Hao, the angrier he got.
