Qin Xiaoyu hastily explained, "Besides, Old Chen, the content of this manga is actually really good, it's not what you think. It's just that the cover is a bit over the top. It's the internet age now, you know? If you don't have an explosive cover, no one will click on it."
"Otherwise, in this day and age, there wouldn't be so many self-media accounts doing all those'shocking' things."
"Like those titles: '70-year-old woman actually does THIS on the street, shocking!'"
"You open it and it says,'sweeping the street.'"
Qin Xiaoyu explained nervously.
Chen Kai retorted, "Didn't you say you hadn't read it?"
"Uh, I read a little bit, just a tiny bit." Qin Xiaoyu gave an awkward smile, feeling like she had completely embarrassed herself. She hoped Old Chen wouldn't imagine her as some unfulfilled girl.
Qin Xiaoyu swore that this manga was really normal, just a very ordinary shojo manga that was very popular among girls; almost every girl had read it.
Chen Kai had deliberately teased Qin Xiaoyu just now.
Of course he knew that the manga Qin Xiaoyu was reading wasn't what he had imagined.
Because many years later, this manga was adapted into a web series, around 2021, and it was quite popular!
He was purely just teasing Qin Xiaoyu.
"Alright, if it's not, it's not. Qin Xiaoyu, why are you so nervous? Is this a guilty conscience or what?" Chen Kai placed his phone on the dining table, then twisted open the cap of the cola Qin Xiaoyu had gotten for him and took a sip.
"How am I nervous? I was just afraid you'd misunderstand."
Qin Xiaoyu picked up her phone and deleted the manga from her bookshelf. She swore she'd never read it again.
It was too embarrassing just now.
But Qin Xiaoyu didn't know that, in fact, during this innocent and ignorant time, the'study materials' boys looked at were far more stimulating than the manga she was reading.
Moreover, many boys' computers had a 'postgraduate exam materials' folder, which they would take out to'study' late at night when all was quiet. Look how diligent they were, studying until deep into the night, how hardworking.
Over the next half hour, Qin Xiaoyu quickly forgot her earlier embarrassment and returned to her usual cheerful self. "Old Chen, the Summer Vacation is two months long. What are you planning to do during these two months? Do you have any plans?"
"Let me tell you about mine first."
"During these two months, when I have nothing to do, I plan to go to the Library to read some finance-related materials. My mom insisted I apply for the Department of Finance, saying the finance industry has a future, and My Dad also suggested it."
"I'm not very interested in finance. I feel like I still prefer the literature department, but My Dad and mom said it's hard to find a job after graduating from the literature department, and the Department of Finance has more prospects!"
Qin Xiaoyu continued, "You know, I don't really have much of my own opinion, so after thinking about it, I decided to listen to My Dad and mom. So, I'll study finance."
In her previous life, it was basically from this Summer Vacation onwards that Qin Xiaoyu started reading many books related to the Department of Finance, and she entered the finance industry after graduating from university.
Many years later, Qin Xiaoyu achieved great success running a finance company.
Chen Kai's business was also flourishing. He was indeed quite surprised to hear that Qin Xiaoyu had been so successful in finance.
He had originally thought his naive female friend would grow up to be a family-oriented woman, getting married and raising children at home.
Or living the life of a wealthy wife.
After all, Qin Xiaoyu's family was already quite wealthy, so even if she got married, the other family's conditions wouldn't be bad.
He never expected her to actually start her own company, and for it to grow so large.
She even liked him for a very, very long time and never married her entire life, which was completely different from what Chen Kai had imagined at the time; the contrast was huge.
He wondered if Qin Xiaoyu would change at all in this life.
However, he was also willing to support Qin Xiaoyu in finance.
Now that he had been reborn, Chen Kai hoped to grow together with Qin Xiaoyu, developing in both directions.
And secretly spoil her more.
After Qin Xiaoyu finished speaking, "Old Chen, I just told you my plans for these two months of Summer Vacation. So, Old Chen, what about you? How do you plan to spend your Summer Vacation?"
Qin Xiaoyu asked curiously.
Chen Kai replied, "I might spend the two months of Summer Vacation thinking about starting a business."
"Starting a business?" Qin Xiaoyu looked shocked. "Old Chen, you're going to start a business? Doing what?"
Qin Xiaoyu found it incredible. Old Chen was only 18, right? To have the idea of starting a business right after graduation was amazing!
Most boys their age were basically playing games, or going to bars and chasing girls, basically inseparable from eating, drinking, and having fun.
He never expected Old Chen to actually plan to start a business?
"Not bad, Old Chen! To have the idea of starting a business now, alright, don't worry, your brother here will absolutely support you one hundred percent!"
"What kind of business are you planning to start? How much capital do you need to start it? How much do you have now? How much more do you need? If it's not enough, I'll help you raise it."
Qin Xiaoyu asked seriously.
Chen Kai replied, "AI big data."
"What's that?" Qin Xiaoyu shook her head; she hadn't heard of it and didn't understand.
It was 2016 now, let alone young people in their late teens; many older netizens had little concept of things like big data, so it was normal for Qin Xiaoyu not to understand.
However, there was only one question: "Old Chen, if you do this big data, will it have a future? Will it develop better and better many years from now?"
That was a given.
Many years in the future, big data technology could be applied to all walks of life, whether it's short video, or medical education, or even the entire finance industry, including blockchain, all would need to utilize it.
The most direct example was the short video industry.
In the future, it could create an entity valued at trillions.
"Old Chen, I don't really understand what you're saying, but if you need money for your business, just tell me. You know my family has money! And since we're such good friends, my money is yours. Friends don't distinguish between yours and mine." Qin Xiaoyu patted her chest, looking very loyal.
Chen Kai then said, "Alright, Qin Xiaoyu, I didn't expect you to be so righteous."
"Haha, of course! And what kind of relationship do we have, anyway?"
"Besides, I, Qin Xiaoyu, am naturally very righteous, okay!"
Qin Xiaoyu emphasized specially.
Seeing that the atmosphere was about right, Chen Kai prepared to make his request to Qin Xiaoyu, as required by the options the system had previously given him.
"Qin Xiaoyu, seeing how righteous you are, I promise you that before school starts for the Summer Vacation, I'll treat you to a meal worth over ten thousand yuan at the most luxurious revolving restaurant in all of Jiangbei—oh no, in the entire Demon Capital!"
