Chapter 262: Identity revealed, news explodes!
"I'm going back to Guangdong Province tomorrow, too. Do you have anything else to tell me?"
Zhang Yue was also there at this time, asking Yang Xiao for some advice.
"Well, you can handle the company's annual meeting. I won't attend it. I will start working remotely in advance." Yang Xiao said.
Zhang Yue nodded: "Okay, I'll send you the employee year-end bonus proposal in a few days for your review."
"Just make the decision. You are the general manager now." Yang Xiao waved his hand indifferently.
It was Zhang Yue who came up with the plan last year, and everyone was very satisfied with it. He was extremely confident in the latter's abilities.
Moreover, the companies under his control include more than just Shiguang Culture Media. Even if he really returns to Lincheng, there are still many things that need his attention and he will be completely busy!
"By the way, if there is nothing to do in the days before the New Year, let the employees take a few days off in advance to rest. You should also go back early."
"I can't rest during the Chinese New Year this year. Wan Tong has been invited to perform on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala, and the next day she will perform on Yanjing's Spring Festival Gala. She has two consecutive days without a break."
"Oh? Which song are you going to perform on stage? It should be "The Thief of Time"? "
Yang Xiao thought about it and felt that only this song was suitable for the Spring Festival Gala stage.
Zhang Yue nodded: "Yes, the one for CCTV Spring Festival Gala is this one, and the one for Yanjing Spring Festival Gala is another one from her previous album."
"There are staff members accompanying her in Yanjing, so you don't need to worry about it, right?" Yang Xiao asked curiously.
"No, it's too early for me to go back. I'll be urged to get married. It's so annoying." Zhang Yue shook her head repeatedly. She would rather stay in the company than go home and listen to her parents nagging.
"So that's it."
Hearing this, Yang Xiao suddenly came to his senses, and then he asked: "Well, this is my inconsiderateness. You really should solve your personal problems. Our company has no young talents, and Lao Huang next door has no young talents either, right?"
"Don't even mention it. They're all coders over there. They all wear the same plaid shirts until they die. They're all so taciturn. There aren't many handsome guys."
Yang Xiao suddenly thought of something, and then smiled maliciously: "Ahem. Is there any male celebrity you like in the entertainment industry? I'll ask someone to find one for you?"
"Hehe, I just like male college students like you who are successful in their careers." Zhang Yue rolled his eyes, turned defense into offense, and said with a smile.
"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything." Everyone burst into laughter.
Zhang Yue looked at the girl next to Yang Xiao and said with a smile: "Yaoyao, don't be angry. Sister Yue, I was just joking."
"Sister Yue, you should punish him properly. He just knows how to make jokes."
Of course Luo Yao knew it, she just shook her head slightly to indicate that it was nothing.
The relationship between them is already close, and with Yang Xiao's various identities, there must be a lot of women around him. If she gets jealous and angry easily, she will probably be angry to death in the days to come.
Yang Xiao didn't eat anything at night and was a little hungry at this moment.
He asked, "Li Rui, is there anything good to eat nearby? Let's find a place to have a midnight snack."
"Brother-in-law, aren't you full? There were so many delicious foods on the table just now." Li Rui asked curiously.
Yang Xiao rolled his eyes at her without any curiosity: "Nonsense, in this kind of situation, with so many cameras in the front row, who have you seen actually eat with their chopsticks?"
Li Rui frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Well, I know a Northeastern barbecue restaurant that tastes pretty good, but it's a time-honored small shop with a poor environment. Can you guys eat there?"
"Hey, we really have to go to this old brand, it's so authentic!" Yang Xiao imitated the accent of the people in Beijing and said, "Let's walk~"
Everyone took a taxi together and rushed there.
There were quite a lot of people, including Zhang Yue, one of her assistants, Lin Wantong and her agent, who were sitting in a business car.
Yang Xiao, Luo Yao, Li Rui and Ben Xi got into a taxi.
He sat in the front passenger seat. The three girls were all slender and thin, so they didn't feel crowded at all in the back seat.
buzz~
Yang Xiao's cell phone vibrated at this moment.
He took it out and saw that the caller was actually his mother Liu Yuxia.
He was shocked. No way? Mom knew about it so quickly?
However, he had already been prepared to face it, so he picked up the phone and said jokingly:
"Hey, Mom, what can I do for you?"
"Yang Xiao, are you going to make a scene? Why aren't you going home during the holidays? Are you having fun outside?"
A burst of harsh scolding came from the phone, and Yang Xiao quickly turned down the volume button with the hand that answered the phone.
"No, Mom, how did you know I was on vacation?"
"Haha, if I don't call you, you're going to keep it a secret from me and your dad, right? Your final exam results were sent to my phone, what do you think? Good fellow, you only got over 60 points in your freshman year, did you study hard? If you can't do it, just don't go to school! Go with your dad to install broadband!"
"."
Not only does my mother provide steady output, she also takes advantage of every opportunity to do something bad to him.
I miscalculated, Yang Xiao recalled, it must have been exposed when I was filling out the family situation questionnaire at school, the column with parents' phone information.
Damn, I should have filled in my own.
"Do you want to go out and have fun? Do you want to cheat me and your dad out of another month's living expenses? I'm telling you, after the holidays, there will be no living expenses!"
On the other end of the phone, Liu Yuxia was still talking to herself.
When she first saw the results on the text message, she couldn't believe it. It was so shocking!
She even felt that her son had become corrupt and had learned bad things. He was very sensible and his grades were at the top throughout his senior year of high school. Why did he suddenly change after entering college?
All the grades are hovering on the edge of passing and failing!
When Yang Xiao heard that his mother even cut off his living expenses as a "threat", he was a little amused.
He never touched the bank card that his mother gave him for living expenses, and he had no idea how much money was in it.
However, the most urgent task is to comfort Ms. Liu who is about to enter menopause.
So he began to deceive people.
"Okay, Mom, I know you're anxious, but don't worry, I'll be back tomorrow afternoon. As for the grades you mentioned, you don't understand at all. In college, just passing is equivalent to a perfect score."
"Ah? Really?"
"Not really. College is totally different from high school! And I didn't hang out outside. I was thinking of getting a job during the winter break to earn some pocket money."
When Liu Yuxia heard Yang Xiao's slow tone, she was suddenly stunned.
She never went to college, so she had no idea whether college subject grades were based on a full score of 150 or 100.
Could it be that I blamed my son wrongly?
Therefore, she couldn't get angry anymore and her tone softened immediately.
"Working during the winter vacation? You are addicted to working, aren't you? It's already the twelfth lunar month, and it's freezing outside. Come back quickly. What time will you arrive tomorrow? I'll ask your dad to drive to pick you up."
"I have a morning flight and it will arrive around 10:30. Tell my dad not to come because he is also very busy. I can just take the bus back by myself."
"Well, that's fine. Just come back slowly."
"Okay, I'll talk to the pilot tomorrow when we get on the plane and ask him to drive slower. I wonder if he'll scold me."
"I'm warning you not to play tricks on me. Okay, I'm hanging up now."
Doodle
The arrogant Ms. Liu hung up the phone abruptly.
At this time, Yang Jianguo, who was soaking his feet in the living room, asked: "How is it? When will my son come back?"
In view of Yang Xiao's rhetoric, Liu Yuxia was still angry and responded unhappily: "Tomorrow's flight will land in Lincheng at 10:30! It will probably be afternoon when I get back."
"Then I will set off early tomorrow morning and drive over to pick him up." Yang Jianguo wiped his feet with a towel.
"Your son said no."
"It takes more than an hour to take the bus from Lincheng Airport to the bus station. I don't know what time it will be when I get here after I buy the ticket."
"Why don't we ask his cousin Yuan Song to pick him up."
"Forget it. How can anyone have time tomorrow on a workday? It's the same if I drive over."
Yang Jianguo put the towel aside, picked up the foot basin and walked to the bathroom, saying, "Call your son and tell him I'll pick him up tomorrow. Tell him to wait."
"I'm too lazy to listen to him today. He's going to piss me off. Besides, isn't the phone call free? I can just send him a message."
"also."
Yang Jianguo didn't care about this. He expected that he would arrive at the airport earlier than Yang Xiao anyway, so he was not afraid of missing his son.
On Yang Xiao's side, the three girls in the back row had already burst into laughter after hearing the confrontation between him and his mother.
Li Rui asked curiously, "Brother-in-law, you lied to Auntie like this? Does she believe that passing the exam equals a perfect score?"
"Which of my words are false? Ask your sister if this saying is popular on university campuses?"
"Sister, is it really like this in college?" Li Rui turned and asked Xiang Luoyao.
"Your brother-in-law really didn't lie to you." Luo Yao nodded with a smile, "In theory, as long as you don't fail any courses in college, everything will be fine."
Yang Xiao took over the conversation at this time: "Including what I said about working during the winter vacation is also true. Other students play during the vacation, but I have a lot of things to deal with during the vacation. Do you think I want to participate in this Weibo Night? This is also my job, okay? In comparison, I would rather stay in school every day, play games in the dormitory like other students, and participate in various social activities when I have time."
"College life is really interesting. We should be entering school in the second half of the year." Benxi looked at Li Rui, her tone full of longing.
"Hehe, Xiaochen, you are so famous, there will definitely be no peace in school."
Upon hearing this, Benxi looked depressed. She was actually a little annoyed by the feeling of being watched all the time. She had even encountered some black fans who loudly slandered and abused her in public.
Yang Xiao looked through the rearview mirror and saw that she didn't speak, so he smiled and said:
"Xiaochen, don't think too much. Being a celebrity may work in other places, but in Yanjing, there are so many of them. Aren't there a lot of 18th-tier celebrities walking the red carpet outside the Guomao today? Besides, if you go to a school like the Central Conservatory of Music, there will be many celebrities there, so don't feel any pressure."
"Hey, little brother, you are right. In Yanjing, celebrities are not new. I have pulled several of them."
It is said that taxi drivers in Yanjing are known as Kanye West. Sure enough, he couldn't help but answer at this time, "I have even picked up someone like Nicholas Tse from Hong Kong. I tell you, he is not as tall in real life as he is on TV, maybe only about 170cm, but still quite handsome. He wore sunglasses and thought I couldn't recognize him."
While talking, the driver observed the three women in the back seat through the rearview mirror, as if he really wanted to recognize which so-called "star" was?
But unfortunately, he didn't know anything about Benxi, a new generation female internet singer, and after careful thinking, he came to no avail.
Yang Xiao was bored at the moment, so he chatted with the driver with great interest: "Hey, Master, have you met Nicholas Tse? When was that? Was he with the queen Faye Wong at that time?"
The driver rolled down the window, took out a cigarette and prepared to light it up: "Yeah, in Hong Kong terms, that's called dating. Unfortunately, I saw on the news that they broke up not long after. These celebrities, dating is like playing, they just love to spread rumors."
"Hey, Master, there are three ladies in the car, can you please hold back for a while? Can we just stop smoking?"
"Ouch, little brother, I'm sorry."
The driver was also a straightforward person and apologized quickly.
"It's okay."
Yang Xiao smiled and said, "Master, I can actually read faces. If you ask me, Nicholas Tse and Faye Wong will definitely be together in the future. Do you believe it?"
"I don't believe that the water that has been poured out can be taken back? Especially for these top celebrities."
"Haha, you can't take back the water that has been poured out, but isn't it normal for young lovers to break up and reconcile?"
"You still think they are a young couple? Faye Wong is already in her forties."
Yang Xiao smiled and said, "Hey, as long as they are human, they are all the same."
"Hey, little brother, what you said makes some sense. It's so insightful." The driver looked at him in surprise, as if he couldn't believe that these words came from a young man.
"."
Yang Xiao was fiddling with his phone in the car while chatting with the driver.
The three girls at the back were also listening with great interest, and were amused to burst out laughing from time to time.
At this time, there were nearly a hundred unread messages on Yang Xiao's mobile phone, all of which were about him showing up at Weibo Night and exposing himself, and people coming to verify the news.
Yang Xiao was too lazy to click on them to read. They were basically from everyone he knew from elementary school to college. They would ding him from time to time, so he simply turned off the text message alert tone, and thus he quietly missed the messages from his mother Liu Yuxia.
The strange thing is that there was no call.
I guess these people think it's too presumptuous?
Oh. It seems that it was because he changed his phone card after going to college.
Except for Zhou Hongyu, Li Yuanbao and Luo Yao, no other former classmates knew about it. After all, now that we have QQ, everyone rarely contacts each other by phone.
This time when he goes back, Yang Xiao is also ready to confront his parents.
When he was still studying in Huicheng, even if he had earned millions in cash and kept it in a card, he would not dare to tell his parents a single cent as long as it was under their noses.
Not to mention how great a business genius he is, Yang Xiao has been their son for decades, doesn't he know his parents' personalities?
I've been cautious all my life!
It's better to live with money than without money, and you have to worry about it.
As for the current situation, his family now contracts telecommunications business, handles mobile phone cards, installs and repairs broadband, and also sells mobile phones and recharges Q coins.
I can earn at least 20,000 yuan a month. When business is good, I can earn 40,000 to 50,000 yuan a month!
But even so, the couple's living habits have not changed.
Like my dad Yang Jianguo, sometimes he is too busy to eat, so he just buys some fast food on the roadside and rarely goes out to eat out!
No matter how Yang Xiao tries to persuade him, it’s useless!
Just like many old people, who obviously have plenty of money at home but like to pick up waste.
All I can say is that a person’s consumption habits are difficult to change!
Therefore, in this case, Yang Xiao’s money must have been “safed” directly!
And the reason given must be something like "I won't spend any of the money on you because I'm afraid you'll waste it, so I'm saving it for you to get married."
But it’s different now. Yang Xiao has money and a stable career. More importantly, as he is now free and unrestrained, the foundation of Yang Xiao’s career is far away from them.
All conditions are ripe, and it is impossible for them to intervene even if they want to.
As for using her internet celebrity status as an excuse, Yang Xiao really couldn't mention it, nor did he have the face to mention it!
After all, these days, being an internet celebrity is not really a legitimate profession.
Netizens all watched it as a joke, and Yang Xiao didn’t even dare to think about what kind of tinted glasses were behind it in reality.
In addition, it was the important time point of senior year in high school, so it would be better to study hard!
Therefore, the main purpose this time is to show off to parents, which is also a top priority!
As for the preparation, it seems to have been completed in advance.
Yang Xiao then simply took out his cell phone and called Zhou Hongyu: "What's the matter? Where are you?"
"Don't say anything. It's more than a thousand kilometers. It took more than a day to drive. We just arrived in Lincheng in the afternoon. I estimate that we will be home around ten o'clock.
Damn it, luckily you paid for a driver, otherwise Li Yuanbao and I would have suffered a lot! You don’t even know that you have to take the national highway to get to some places, and it’s so fucking boring. Anyway, after school starts, I will never take this car again when I go back to Guangdong Province.”
On the phone, Zhou Hongyu kept complaining.
At the same time, I could vaguely hear Li Yuanbao next to me complaining, "My butt is numb from sitting on it."
Yang Xiao couldn't help laughing. The two of them set off two days in advance. During these two days, except for resting in the service area in the early morning, they had to stay in the car bored for the rest of the time.
The two of them and the driver could do nothing but look at the passing scenery, brag and play with their phones!
When Yang Xiao heard that they were about to arrive safely, he nodded in relief:
"Well, when you get to Huicheng, ask Brother Zhao to park the car. I'm going back to Lincheng tomorrow, so I probably won't be back until the day after tomorrow."
On the other end of the phone, Zhou Hongyu was obviously using the loudspeaker. The driver's surname was Zhao, and he looked to be in his forties. He had more than ten years of driving experience. For this designated driving business, it would only take four days to go back and forth, and he could earn the equivalent of half a month's salary.
Therefore, he was very grateful to this young boss. After hearing Yang Xiao's instructions, he immediately replied:
"Okay, Boss Yang, don't worry."
In order to drive his father's Porsche back this time, Yang Xiao specially spent 3000 yuan to hire a designated driver, and also covered the driver's round-trip transportation expenses!
In fact, both Li Yuanbao and Zhou Hongyu had obtained a driver's license, and they were looking for opportunities to borrow Yang Xiao's car to practice driving. Although they wanted to try something new, they volunteered to drive back by themselves.
But according to regulations, novice drivers like them who have just obtained their driver's license are not allowed to drive on the highway within one year.
You can drive on the highway if you want, but you must be accompanied by an experienced driver.
Otherwise, you will be fined and warned if you are caught.
In addition, safety was also an issue with such a long journey. Yang Xiao was afraid of any accidents, so he did not dare to let them do whatever they wanted. He simply paid someone to drive the car back.
I can only say that it’s great to have money, and it can also avoid many accidents to the greatest extent!
"By the way, have you not found time to check the messages on QQ yet?"
"what happened?"
"Damn it, hurry up and open it, the classmates group is in an uproar!"
"Okay, hang up. I'm free now. I'll go check it out."
Yang Xiao had a rough guess in his mind. Now that he had some free time in the car, he opened QQ.
What caught his eye were hundreds of private messages, some of which were even from people who had found him in the QQ group and created separate chat windows to chat with him privately.
They are basically classmates.
There are students from elementary school, junior high school, high school, and university!
For example, his college roommates, Mu Xingwen, Zhang Jun, Guan Songlong and others.
[Mu Xingwen: Brother Xiao, awesome! You hid it too well.]
【Guan Songlong: Brother Xiao, if you become rich and powerful, please don’t forget me. We will all follow you from now on.】
【Zhang Jun: No, Brother Xiao, this is a big joke. So you skipped class for something serious? So I am the only clown?
Alas, it seems that our dormitory will become a celebrity dormitory in the future. When I return to school, I will wait for you to take me to show off and fly.]
The first two didn’t say much, they were mainly shocked!
Zhang Jun is still carefree and unrestrained.
He understood Yang Xiao and knew that he was not the type to look down on others, so he just talked to himself and wrote a lot of things. If you didn't know him, you would think he was helping Yang Xiao write his acceptance speech and reflections.
Even Hu Yuting, the class monitor at the university, left a caring message on Yang Xiao's QQ: "Are you done with the Weibo Night activities? Yang Xiao, you are so amazing!"
Zhang Yang, the head of the student union, also sent a warm greeting. "Now you have become a celebrity in the school. Girls are confessing their love to you in the forum."
In addition to the news from Shenzhen University on QQ, the information from high school classmates can be said to be "bombarded".
In addition, Yang Xiao has studied in both Huicheng and Lincheng, which means he has one more high school classmates than anyone else!
After they found out through various channels, the news spread among ten people, and many people came to send messages to greet Yang Xiao.
However, although they are called greetings, they are actually mostly disguised requests for verification.
Yang Xiao first looked through the people who had chatted with him privately, and based on their closeness to him, he picked out a few relatively important people and replied.
However, enough people have privately chatted with him.
The column for QQ groups is even more exaggerated!
The group messages of all classes are all 999+ (the maximum display format is not 99+ at this moment)!
You know, usually no one speaks, but at this moment everyone is talking about him.
Videos of him speaking on Weibo Night were screenshoted and posted by gossipers, who began to comment on him.
[Fuck, is this guy really Yang Xiao? Why can't I believe it? He is actually the famous internet celebrity Shi Guang? I even bought his book. Do you believe it? / puzzled expression]
[Let alone his books, The Brightest Star in the Night Sky, which we listened to for almost a whole year in high school, was also written by him! ]
[Speechless, is this true or not? This is too outrageous! It is simply unbelievable! ]
[This guy's face is so white, is it really Yang Xiao? Does he look a bit like him? Is he that handsome? He looks like a celebrity! Is my memory wrong?]
[Haha, guys, that's enough. Don't you have any idea whether it's Yang Xiao or not? Why don't you admit it? ]
[My old classmates have really changed! ]
[It must be him. I only saw him once during the Chinese New Year last year, and he hasn't changed much. He must be wearing makeup. Regardless of whether you believe it or not, I believe it.]
[Where's Yang Xiao? Come out and tell me. /Surprised expression]
[Dear, Yang Xiao is probably still here. Do you think he is in the same internet cafe as you? He is meeting big stars now and is sitting at the same table with Wang Feng! Do you understand?]
[Can Yang Xiao help me get an autograph from Nana? ]
[Do you need Yang Xiao to ask for it in person? I guess Nana will ask him for his autograph! ]
[5555555, Yang Xiao, you must have worked so hard to keep this a secret from us! You’re so awesome!]
【Big star! 】
[Nonsense, he is a big entrepreneur! ]
[Big entrepreneur? My goodness, how much assets does Yang Xiao have now? A billionaire, right? ]
[Fuck, I feel like he could be the richest man in Huicheng! ]
[Don't worry, Lao Zhang, Yang Xiao is already one! I'm afraid you don't know, let me give you some popular science. It is said that Wang Dayong, the richest man in Huicheng, has a fortune of 200 million. Now according to the analysis of online information, Yang Xiao's assets are at least ten times that of Wang Dayong! ]
[Doesn't that mean Yang Xiao has 2 billion in assets? Damn! He's only a freshman, and he's already the richest man in the county? ]
[Ten times is a conservative estimate! ]
[Tsk tsk! Yang Xiao is so fierce! ]
The topic about Yang Xiao is getting more and more off track.
The discussion ranged from his authorship to his celebrity status and wealth, but it was all centered around him.
[Stop talking about these useless things. Is everyone on holiday? When will you return to Huicheng? Then can we get together? ]
[Yeah, is Yang Xiao going back to his hometown? Will he buy a house in Yanjing and move there? ]
[That shouldn’t be the case, right? I passed by his store a few days ago and saw his parents still selling mobile phones. ]
[So Yang Xiao probably has to come back to Huicheng to celebrate the New Year, right? Can he meet our big star? /smirking expression]
[Yes, yes, yes, let’s make an appointment, let’s go Dutch and let our richest man talk about his experience in starting a company. ]
[We're still splitting the bill? Are you sure, Lao Wang? Who are you looking down on? It must be our celebrity entrepreneur who's treating us. We'll have a one-stop service for eating, singing and entertainment! ]
[It seems that my vision is too narrow, sorry~]
