Chapter 385 It’s so dark!!!
It was Bai Yuan who first suggested practicing the piano together, so she naturally had no objection at this time.
"Let's go."
Bai Yuan nodded slightly, knowing that Pei Jin was just putting on an act for others to see, so she let him maintain his current posture and held her in his arms as they walked out of the school.
It was the time when the school was over and students were filing out. It was the busiest and most crowded time in the school.
Along the way, Bai Yuan and Pei Jin naturally attracted the attention of countless people.
Seeing how high-spirited and energetic Young Master Pei was when he was walking with Bai Yuan, the recent rumors about the two having a disagreement in their relationship were naturally refuted.
"Hey, I've said it before, it's normal for young couples to break up and get back together again!"
"From the looks of it, it doesn't look like they've had any conflicts recently. Who spread the rumor? Rumors can really do a lot of harm!"
"It's not necessarily the case. It feels like they made peace after a quarrel. You know Master Pei's personality. It would be strange if he could just calm down. I just don't know what method he used to coax him back afterwards."
"Are you blind? No one else can learn Master Pei's method."
"Haha, that's true. After all, she is the most beautiful girl in Haiqi. If I were Bai Yuan, I wouldn't let her go so easily. ..."
"Stop talking, Master Pei is looking over here. Haha, Master Pei, what a coincidence, you're also going home from school..."
The people around were talking noisily, and these words could not reach Pei Jin's ears completely.
Pei Jin only listened to a general idea, mostly voices like "very good", "rumors" and "harmonious".
Seeing that the slanders about him and Bai Yuan parting ways a few days ago had disappeared and no one dared to say a bad word, Pei Jin felt even more proud as he was bathed in the surprised or enlightened looks from the people around him.
The arm around Bai Yuan unconsciously tightened a little, as if that thing was taking advantage of the other person's power.
Bai Yuan felt Pei Jin's strength and the warmth of the other party who was deliberately sticking to her. She looked up and saw the young man's smug look. She found it funny and a smile appeared between her brows. Then she patted his hand on her shoulder as a comfort and response.
This scene was also seen by everyone.
Seeing this, those people who had made sarcastic remarks before couldn't help but look at Pei Jin with a hint of respect in their eyes.
"Or maybe Master Pei could hook up with Miss Bai. I don't know what he said, but he made her so happy with just a few words..."
After getting into Bai Yuan's black Maybach in full view of everyone, Pei Jin leaned back in the seat comfortably, his high spirits and the upward curve of his lips increasing instead of decreasing.
Bai Yuan quite liked to see him with his tail held high. Every time at this time, the azure light in Pei Jin's eyes would be even brighter than usual, both shining and eye-catching.
"Are you happy already?" Bai Yuan stared at Pei Jin's blue eyes and the red teardrop mole at the corners of his eyes for a while, and smiled softly.
"Let them speculate about our relationship behind our backs. Now they've been slapped in the face!"
Pei Jin first raised his chin to sneer, then glared at Bai Yuan in feigned anger, "It's all your fault! If you hadn't ignored me during this period of time, would I have to endure this grievance and humiliation!"
Bai Yuan didn't want to argue with him about these trivial matters. While enjoying the Pomeranian jumping up and down, he stroked his fur and said, "This is my fault. I was busy recently and accidentally forgot about you. Don't worry, I won't do it again in the future."
After thinking about it, Bai Yuan felt that she couldn't say it so absolutely. Before work and Pei Jin, she must still focus on business, so she added, "If there is a next time, remember to remind me at any time."
"Since you are so sincere in admitting your mistakes, I will not bother with you this time!" Pei Jin was very happy with Bai Yuan's words. He felt very comfortable with her. He narrowed his beautiful eyes in satisfaction and looked at Bai Yuan again with a glimmer in his eyes. "What have you been busy with recently?"
The matter of drones was not some trade secret, and since Pei Jin asked, Bai Yuan naturally told him the whole story.
Everything was fine before. When Bai Yuan mentioned that he upgraded the program code for the research group for free, Pei Jin's eyes flashed with hesitation. He suspected that he had misheard, misunderstood, or did not understand some superficial meaning of Bai Yuan. He frowned and asked, "Free? Free? Free?"
"Is there a problem?" Seeing Pei Jin's reaction, Bai Yuan became curious and wanted to know what Pei Jin thought about this matter.
The same thing, change the angle, change the way of understanding.
Bai Yuan naturally would not be stubborn and think that what he did was right on such a matter.
As future leaders and decision-makers, the right thing to do is to pool ideas and open up channels for communication.
She knew very well that she was born in a compound, and that people from different circles had different styles of doing things, and their ways of looking at and dealing with problems were different.
As the genuine eldest son of the Haiqi business tycoon, Pei Jin must have his own understanding and unique insights.
"Is there a problem?" Pei Jin looked at Bai Yuan again and again, repeatedly confirming that the other party was serious and not joking. Shock suddenly appeared in his azure eyes, and he said in disbelief: "It's a huge problem!!! How can you do it for free? A transaction is a fixed price, and upgrading and improvement will cost another price!!!"
When it comes to his expertise and areas of expertise, Pei Jin becomes excited and talks continuously like pouring beans:
“We charge once for vulnerability patches, once for upgrades, and once for subsequent maintenance. Do you understand that we are playing the long game to catch the big fish?
Let's put it this way, everyone wants to split a set of upgrades into eighteen parts, the less they can squeeze in, the better, from 2.0 to 6.0, the more they roll, the more they earn, and every time they upgrade, they have to reserve new loopholes, and then they can roll...
How much money can you make from selling the main body? Most of it goes into post-maintenance! You upgraded it all this time, and it’s free…”
Pei Jin looked at Bai Yuan in disbelief, and said angrily: "Are you trying to do charity?!"
Pei Jin didn't say a word, but Bai Yuan's eyes were shocked. In the end, he looked at Pei Jin with disbelief, as if he was looking at a profiteer, "You..."
When it comes to blind spots in knowledge, Bai Yuan considered his words for a long time and said with emotion: "It's really dark."
It is said that there is no business without fraud. This time, she has really gained some knowledge and opened her eyes.
"Is it unnecessary?" Bai Yuan asked hesitantly, "It's not a very valuable technology, and it doesn't cost much..."
Is it necessary to exploit in various ways like this?
The money she earned was not even enough for her pocket money for three months.
Bai Yuan found it a little hard to accept haggling over details just for such a small amount of money.
It seems so petty!
Pei Jin lowered his voice and pretended to be deep: "Business is like a battlefield, we must fight for every penny! We cannot give up even a penny!"
Bai Yuan:......
Pei Jin added: "Look at my mother. Although she has violated the contract and worked overtime many times, which is annoying, she uses the extra time she has every day to carefully scrutinize contracts and pull orders. Aunt Jiang should be the same. The profits are all scraped out in this way."
This……
Listening to Pei Jin's words, Bai Yuan fell into deep thought.
This was indeed a path she had never envisioned before.
All I can say is that differences in living environment and circle do lead to differences in the way of thinking about such things.
People who come out of the compounds are either used to using money to pave the way, or they are used to using personal connections to pave the way.
No matter which one, they all emphasize generosity and openness, not caring about trivial matters. If you do me a favor this time, I will return the favor to you next time. Over and over again, friendships and connections are accumulated little by little. The more sales you make, the higher your prestige and the better your reputation.
If anyone dares to nitpick over every detail, he will never achieve anything great, and his spine will be broken behind his back.
You are so stingy when you come out to do things. Who are you blaming? Take the money back yourself. If you can't get the job done, find someone else!
However, Bai Yuan is not someone who doesn't know how to adapt.
With just a simple thought, you can understand the necessity of "fighting for every penny" in the business world.
Without going into the details, the simplest example is small profits but quick turnover.
It's just these one or two cents, one or two cents that are being snatched away.
In the face of huge sales volumes, the tiny profit that is given up with so much effort will often become an astronomical figure, so naturally one has to rack one's brains and try one's best to get it.
If he wanted to lead the Bai family to pursue profits in the business world in the future, he would have to change his previous style of doing things that were indifferent to details and lenient to others.
Thinking of this, Bai Yuan couldn't help but feel a headache.
When he thought about having to haggle with others over trivial matters at the negotiation table in the future, his enthusiasm for taking over the Bai Group was greatly reduced.
You may not have to make money, but you cannot live without grace and decency.
At least, that's the case for her now.
Fortunately, I talked about this with Pei Jin today, which gave her a shot of prevention in advance and also gave her a new understanding of business.
However, Bai Yuan is not the kind of person who would back down right away. He has to try it himself to know whether it works or not.
Although Bai Yuan is nostalgic, she is always willing to accept and try new things. She is always curious and eager to learn about things she has never been exposed to. Even if she may put it aside after a few days and lose interest, this will never stop her from continuing to explore new areas.
In just a moment, Bai Yuan adjusted his mentality, regained his usual calmness, and began to think about how to maximize benefits.
Soon, Bai Yuan had an idea: "Increase the fees and amount according to the sales ratio, invalidate the current version during the later maintenance, adjust the adaptability, charge for the extra parts, and change the specifications of the parts every time..."
This time it was Pei Jin's turn to be shocked, and he looked at Bai Yuan as if he were a profiteer.
After considering his words for a long time, Pei Jin said with deep emotion: "...You are so dark!!!"
After saying that, the two looked at each other, and after a moment, they laughed out loud at the same time.
After laughing, Bai Yuan suddenly felt that the depression just now was swept away, "Take your time, I still have a lot to learn."
She raised her eyes to look at Pei Jin, the smile that had not yet faded made her eyes extremely gentle, like melted spring water splashing on the pistil of a flower. This unprecedented scene made Pei Jin's heart skip a few beats.
Bai Yuan smiled and praised generously, "Aren't you quite capable and knowledgeable?"
After all, he is Pei's mother's biological son, and he has the blood of the Pei family, which has been engaged in business for generations. Even if he is not good enough, he can't be too bad.
As the saying goes, a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and even a mouse’s son can dig holes.
Pei Jin's strengths were completely overshadowed by his rebellious period, but his business sense and acumen were perfectly fine.
Pei Jin was already swayed by Bai Yuan's laughter, and after hearing her praise, he suddenly felt as if he was stepping on clouds and felt elated.
"There are still many things you don't understand!" Pei Jin snorted twice and responded randomly, but in fact his heart had been beating like a drum, roaring in his ears, and he couldn't even hear what he said.
Thinking that Pei Jin surprised her not only with his words today, but also with his previous piano performance, the other party always brought her surprises and freshness in all kinds of unexpected places, Bai Yuan also developed a strong interest and expectation for the future duet between the two.
She looked at Pei Jin, her tone also full of obvious indulgence, and said frankly: "Then I will learn more about it later."
"after"
It’s “afterwards” again.
Pei Jin's proud mood just now froze because of these two words that shouldn't exist between him and Bai Yuan. His deep blue eyes were stunned and a trace of loss flashed across them.
But soon, Pei Jin cheered up again and comforted himself.
who cares!
Anyway, it will be your loss if I don’t have a future with the young master!
If she is sad, she is the one who is sad. If she is regretful, she is the one who regrets!!!
Young master, why should I be depressed?
Pei Jin adjusted his mentality and leaned back in the car seat. He raised his hand to pick up the sunglasses that had been hanging on his collar and put them on his eyes. The young man raised his chin proudly and lifted his tail complacently.
"Hehe! It all depends on my mood!"
The vehicle drove smoothly on the road and soon arrived at Bai Yuan's house.
A European-style villa with a garden slowly appeared before our eyes.
When the car drove to the door, the closed iron gate slowly opened automatically, and the green garden scene flowed back through the car window.
This was not the first time Pei Jin came to Bai Yuan's house. Previously, when Bai Yuan was busy with the school anniversary and worked overtime in the Student Union to process documents, especially during the time when police cars were stationed outside the school, he had sent Bai Yuan home for a while.
Bai Yuan has always been very polite, so it is naturally impossible for him to let him go back home without even letting him in.
He must be invited into the house, and only after he has had a short rest and a drink of tea as a treat can he be sent away.
Therefore, Pei Jin was not unfamiliar with Bai Yuan's house. As soon as he entered the room, he found a place to sit and entertained himself as if he was familiar with the place.
Although the villa where Bai Yuan lives is luxurious and large, there are not many servants in the villa to take care of daily life. This is different from the Pei family's style where they are always surrounded by a group of people to serve them wherever they go, and there are dedicated people to serve tea, water and desserts, each with their own duties.
There is only one chef in the house who is responsible for breakfast and dinner, several cleaners who take shifts to clean the villa's areas, and four security guards who are responsible for the villa's safety.
