In the latter half of the gathering, Qin Chizian had become the unexpected center of attention. Aside from Li Feiyun, who felt too shy to approach, everyone else exchanged contact information, expressing a desire to keep in touch in the future. Finally, it was time to leave.
Brother Biao had settled down in the county and was now living with his girlfriend, Gao Yamei. He strongly urged Qin Chizian and Aiyaximu to come over and "get acquainted." The three of them greeted everyone before getting into the car.
Bai Mingsheng exclaimed, "Wow, a Mercedes-Benz! What kind of background does Old Qin have now?"
Wu Xianfei lamented, "I really messed up my opening task; I should have talked to him earlier!"
Li Feiyun, however, wore an expression that seemed less than natural.
Brother Biao gossiped, "Li Feiyun has been working as a community assistant at the Chengguan Police Station since graduating high school, earning just over two hundred a month. His parents are the type to elevate some while belittling others... His girlfriend is the daughter of the village chief—short, chubby, and not very attractive. He’s too afraid to break up with her, so he tells people he’s single and hits on women who look somewhat similar..."
Brother Biao's girlfriend worked at a credit union and was momentarily stunned upon seeing Qin Chizian before exclaiming, "Aren't you that person from TV...?"
Brother Biao interrupted her, "No matter who he is, he’s my classmate now. Go pour some water for my classmate and wash some fruit."
Under Brother Biao's introduction, they all got to know each other better. Gao Yamei kept asking, "What’s it like knowing a popular star?" Qin Chizian replied, "They're just ordinary people." He then recounted his experiences with the Yanjing Silver Goose band.
Gao Yamei listened in disbelief. "Really? That Chu Yunfei is my idol! I watched the live stream of their last performance; it was at your workplace? I saw so many big stars there, even Sima Yunfeng!"
After discussing superficial topics, they turned to more personal matters. Gao Yamei said, "De Biao rarely brings people home; if he brought you today, it means your relationship is special. You’re not leaving tonight; I’ll whip up some dishes so we can have a good time."
Brother Biao immediately praised her: "Look at my wife—so capable and sharp-witted..."
Aiyaximu also liked Gao Yamei's personality and took off her coat to help in the kitchen. The two girls chatted away as they prepared food together; by the time they brought out the dishes, they seemed as close as sisters.
The four of them sat down together. Gao Yamei went to get some drinks while Brother Biao poured for everyone: "Let’s drink until we’re satisfied tonight!"
It’s often said that banking jobs are great: respectable, high-paying, and relatively easy. But who knew that Brother Biao and his girlfriend were both filled with complaints? Gao Yamei explained, "As a credit manager, I have loan quotas; we both have deposit targets. As an employee during the opening period, mine is one million; De Biao is a leader with double that target. If we don’t meet them, our performance will be affected."
Aiyaximu looked at Qin Chizian, who nodded in agreement. She raised her glass of red wine: "How much of a deposit gap do you two have? We can help cover it."
Now it was Brother Biao and his wife’s turn to be surprised. Brother Biao said, "You both just started working not long ago; how could you possibly have money? This isn’t just a few hundred bucks; it’s millions!"
Qin Chizian replied vaguely, "I turned over some money from a friend in Yanjing and invested it in urban area stocks; I made some profits..."
In Gao Yamei and Brother Biao's eyes, it was clear that Qin Chizian must know wealthy people. It seemed normal for someone who had done well in stocks to suddenly become rich. And seeing Qin Chizian driving a Mercedes-Benz only reinforced their belief that he and Aiyaximu were indeed wealthy.
They agreed that once the two of them returned to Jiangcheng, they would transfer the money from the urban area as soon as they got to work.
Gao Yamei let out a long sigh. "You don’t know, because both of us work at the bank, our families and relatives prioritize depositing their money with us whenever they have any, just to meet their quotas..."
Brother Biao brought up Wu Xianfei's "savings drive" at the gathering. "Brother Qin didn’t say anything at the time; it was only when we got here that he mentioned he had money!"
Gao Yamei poured more wine for the two of them.
On the television, an advertisement featuring Qin Chizian and Fu Hongxue was playing again, and Qin Chizian felt particularly anxious seeing that scene.
A slightly tipsy Gao Yamei took Aiyaximu's hand and said seriously, "Brother Qin, you swear on your chest that there's nothing going on between you and that big star, right?"
Brother Biao interrupted her, "Alright, you two are too caught up in this. There are at least a dozen people who have filmed ads with Fu Hongxue; if everyone had something going on, what would that mean? Besides, I know what kind of person Brother Qin is.
Even if Brother Qin had ideas, someone like Fu Hongxue wouldn’t even notice him!"
The last sentence made both girls burst into laughter.
