Chapter 72: The Tree Wants Quiet but the Wind Won't Stop

  The floating lamp in the room was still slowly flowing in the air, making this pitch-black room even more sci-fi.

  Su Yifan sat quietly on the sofa, and after getting over the initial shock, he quickly accepted everything in front of him.

  Su Yifan closed his laptop and stood up, directly placing the thing on Su Xiaqing's office desk.

  "Qing jie, put this thing away."

  Su Xiaoqing smiled and asked back: "Let me put it away, don't you regret it?"

  "I really don't regret it." Su Yifan said sincerely, "Qing Jie, you have to take good care of yourself."

  When Su Yifan heard the familiar words, Su Xiaqing's eyebrows relaxed and she smiled happily.

  Su Xiaoqing felt that perhaps being always willing to consider others was Su Yifan's greatest advantage. If not for this advantage, those girls would not have shown such trust in him.

  "Let me tell you more about my company, weren't you most curious about this aspect before?"

  Su Yifan was really interested in this, nodded and sat back on the sofa, with a honest student listening to class look.

  "Light sister, just say it simply, I know that knowing too many business secrets is not good for you either."

  Su Xiaoqing smiled: "Alright, I'll just say it simply. Let's start from where we are now..."

  …………

  …………

  As for Su Xiaqing's career, the two didn't discuss much. Su Xiaqing's intention was clear: if Su Yifan was interested in this aspect, he could learn more about it at any time. Some profound concepts involving physics and various data from the business world were not even something Su Xiaqing herself wanted to talk about.

  Talking about work is still a very boring thing after all, although Su Yifan has to start learning to adapt to it slowly.

  Despite this, Su Yifan still had a general understanding of the scale of Su Xiaqing's industry.

  The company under Su Xiaoqing's name is not just this one, and "Qing International", named after a character in Su Xiaoqing's name, is Su Xiaoqing's wholly-owned private enterprise, with no other shareholders. The core competitiveness of Qing International is, of course, the preparation technology of graphene. The two scientists who discovered graphene in 2004 only have the advantage of being the first to publish a paper. High-quality graphene preparation is one of the most difficult problems to overcome in the world, and Su Xiaoqing has this technology.

  Now many companies are still working hard to study how to hype up the concept of graphene, Su Xiaqing already has the core technology.

  "A flexible LCD screen, which can later replace silicon crystal to produce more powerful chips. Graphene is also used in some fields." Su Xiao summarized lightly, "My price is 20% lower than any product from a laboratory, and the quality is better than theirs, so there's no competitive pressure."

  Su Yifan searched for graphene introductions on his phone while asking, "Have you solved the production capacity problem, Qing Jie?"

  Su Xiaqing blinked: "Although it's a trade secret, but telling you won't matter..."

  "Wait..." Su Yifan interrupted Su Xiaqing, "Sister Qing, let's talk about something else. When do I go see Uncle?"

  "You rest for a day or two first." Su Xiaoqing pressed the remote control on the desk, and the venetian blinds reopened. The floating lanterns also slowly fell down, and the room restored its usual simple office appearance, sweeping away the mysterious darkness of just now.

  Su Yifan nodded, he actually wasn't too enthusiastic about this kind of social activity among relatives either. This was almost a common characteristic of the younger generation.

  "Is there anywhere you'd like to go?" Su Xiaoqing asked, "Do you want me to take you to see the Statue of Liberty?"

  "It's pretty silly..." Su Yifan said frankly, "I might have to take a trip to Long Island, it won't take long to drive from here, will it?"

  "It'll take more than an hour," Su Xiaoqing said with a smile, "if there's no traffic jam."

  Su Yifan nodded thoughtfully: "Oh, okay, I'll find a time to go over."

  "Let me guess." Su Xiaoqing looked at Su Yifan, with a gleam of insight in her eyes, "Is it to help Yang Bingbing do that thing?"

  Su Yifan thought there was no need to hide this matter, took out the necklace he had been carrying with him and showed it to Su Xiaqing: "Yes, I told you about it, it's just giving this thing."

  Su Xiaqing took the ruby necklace and glanced at it, then casually tossed it back to Su Yifan: "Yang Bingbing trusted you enough, this necklace would fetch no less than $10 million if auctioned off, yet she handed it over to you so carelessly."

  Su Yifan, who was busy trying to retrieve the necklace, heard this and his hand trembled, almost dropping the necklace on the ground. Although Yang Bingbing had mentioned before that the necklace was very valuable, he hadn't expected it to be valuable to such an extent.

  "How much?" Su Yifan subconsciously asked back.

  "About $14 million?"

  Su Yifan took a deep breath and calmed his emotions before asking, "If I had known it was worth so much, I wouldn't have dared to agree to it."

  "What's wrong?" Su Xiaoqing scolded, "Yang Bingbing trusts you so much, it's a good thing, don't lose face in front of the beauty."

  Su Yifan started to get a bit restless: "Then... I'll just send it over today."

  "Do you want me to send you over?"

  Su Yifan thought for a moment and felt it was fine: "Okay... anyway I don't know the way."

  Su Xiaqing wouldn't be driving herself, of course. It was Yilan behind the wheel, with Oula in the passenger seat and Su Yifan and Su Xiaqing in the back row. Su Yifan gazed out at the scenery whizzing by outside the window, looking like a little wife.

  There is only one boy in this car, Su Yifan, who happens to be the weakest.

  Yang Bingbing provided a very clear address, and Yilan didn't ask again after locating it with an electronic map. This car full of Chinese people also made Su Yifan feel slightly comforted, earlier seeing so many foreigners he suddenly felt like he had a communication barrier, this is also a common problem for first-time travelers abroad.

  Su Xiaoqing hummed a tune as if she had never been under any pressure, staring at Su Yifan with a smile.

  Su Yifan was laughed at and became somewhat psychologically flustered: "Qing Jie, what's wrong with you?"

  "It's nothing," Su Xiaoqing said, "Do you need me to accompany you to knock on the door later?"

  "No need." Su Yifan shook his head, "I'll go myself."

  "Alright, we'll all wait for you in the car." Su Xiaoqing casually pulled out her phone and dialed a number. "Anyway, we've already set out, let's go buy some gifts to bring back later."

  Su Yifan's opposition on this matter was ineffective, so he didn't bother to resist anymore, but still listened carefully.

  The phone was connected, and Su Xiaoqing said something in English. Su Yifan seemed to understand it, roughly about some special channel being reserved.

  Su Xiaqing spoke quickly and hung up the phone as soon as she finished speaking.

  Even Oola, who was sitting in the front row, turned her head and gazed quietly at Su Xiaoqing.

  Su Xiaqing snapped her fingers: "OK, everyone gets a share, alright?"

  Yilan, who was driving, let out a cheer, as if she meant to drive the car beyond its standard speed.

  Su Yifan didn't understand what these people were excited about and asked Su Xiaqing with his eyes.

  Su Xiao shook her head and said: "This is something that girls are interested in, you won't be very interested."

  Su Yifan didn't think so: "I'll just learn more."

  "You'll find out soon enough." Su Xiaoqing still refused to say, "Do you have anything you want to buy?"

  Su Yifan shook his head without hesitation: "No."

  "Want me to take you on a tour of Apple headquarters? The United Nations Headquarters?"

  Su Yifan thought for a moment and said: "If it's Blizzard, I'm very interested."

  "Good." Su Xiaoqing looked delighted, "Yi Lan, remember, we're going to visit Baoyue."

  Yi Lan replied without turning her head: "Miss Su, you just rejected the invitation from Activision Blizzard last month."

  Su Xiaoqing smiled innocently: "At that time I was in China, if they had anything, they could just go find me directly."

  Su Yifan's face turned black as she listened, and had someone from Activision Blizzard go find her. This was no longer a matter of just being boastful.

  Actually, thinking carefully, Su Xiaoqing has this qualification. The products produced by the product line in her hands are tens of thousands of times more expensive than gold, and all the participants in the new industrial system around the world will cry out to beg Su Xiaoqing, let alone a small action like Dynamic Snow.

  Su Yifan was stunned for a second, then took out his mobile phone, opened iPhone QQ and asked Su Xiaqing: "Qing Jie, can this card roam internationally?"

  Su Xiaoqing smiled and asked back: "What do you think?"

  Su Yifan didn't hesitate anymore, logged in, and then typed a message for Zhang Chao with both hands on the touchscreen.

  "Little kid, I'm going to Blizzard headquarters for a visit. If you don't come see me off, I won't bring back souvenirs for you!"

  After sending the message, Su Yifan quickly exited the program.

  Su Xiaoqing looked at her younger brother and smiled, asking: "Is this considered malicious revenge?"

  "Of course not," Su Yifan said. "The real malicious revenge is to bring a souvenir, which is what he wants most, but it's not for him."

  Su Xiaoqing laughed and patted Su Yifan: "I thought you were a honest person, didn't expect you to be so bad."

  Su Yifan said seriously: "I think compared to Zhai Yufei, I'm still quite honest."

  Su Xiaqing blinked: "Have you thought of how to deal with Di Yufei? He hasn't made a sound recently, but he's secretly thinking of ways to deal with you."

  "I didn't think... " Su Yifan explained honestly, "If others don't come to provoke me, why would I think of dealing with them?"

  Su Xiaoqing said meaningfully, "Late to react is not a good habit. The tree wants to be still but the wind won't stop, do you think that if you don't provoke others, it's already over? There are some people, if you don't let them experience a crushing defeat, they won't easily give up."

  Su Yifan nodded: "I understand."

  Su Xiao closed her eyes and said calmly: "Actually, it's nothing much, what matters most is that you're happy."

  Staring at the crowd outside the car window, Su Yifan murmured: "I'm really happy now..."
