"Ms. Cao, I didn't expect you to finish the first draft so quickly. I really didn't expect it!" There was a smile in Ma Teng's voice.
In fact, he didn't take Cao Aiqian's last words to heart. What could a 16-year-old girl do that would affect the business world?
He just didn't expect that she completed the first draft in one day, which aroused his interest.
"You bring the first draft to Tianhu Science and Technology Park in North China District and give it to the company's planner Xiaoli." Ma Teng sat in his office chair and typed on the keyboard. He had been very busy recently promoting his own app.
"Mr. Ma, I'm at the door of your company now. I have to see you." Cao Aiqian replied firmly, thinking that this future business boss would be just as rare to see even 20 years ago today.
Ma Teng stood up from the office chair and walked out to welcome her in. He was wondering in his heart that the company had never announced his office address to the outside world. How did she, a little girl, know about it?
Ma Teng sat on the sofa in the living room and concentrated on the manuscript in his hand. He asked repeatedly with a smile and surprise: "Ms. Cao, is this the first draft?"
"Yes, these four first drafts of Little Q's portraits meet the personality characteristics of different characters, such as..." She described each of Ma Teng's portraits carefully in a calm tone.
Ma Teng nodded repeatedly. He was surprised that she could complete such an exquisite painting in one day. He immediately wanted to sign a contract with her, but he hesitated when he thought of a price that was three times higher than the market price.
"Okay, Xiao Cao, if these portrait paintings can be used by many people in the market as you said, I agree to buy your subsequent creative paintings at a price three times higher than the market price."
He paused for a while, paced back and forth in the room, and continued with a look of embarrassment: "As you know, our company is a start-up company, and we would like to cooperate with you, but we are short of funds now..."
"Mr. Ma, I understand. You only need to pay my ordinary painting price now, and the remaining twice the money will be my investment in your company." After Cao Aiqian finished speaking, he looked at the time. He would be late if he didn't go to school.
The two hit it off immediately and immediately signed a contract.
Ma Teng immediately ordered the planning team to upload these little Q avatars to the App for preliminary market testing.
And Cao Aiqian ran all the way to catch the last school bus.
"Oh my god! You're going to kill me."
Cao Aiqian rushed to the station panting, but luckily she arrived just before the driver was about to leave.
"Holy shit, Boss Cao!" A surprised shout made Cao Ai Qian excited.
Xunyin looked into the car inside and saw a boy wearing a T-shirt and jeans, with his hair messily tied into a pigtail, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses. He looked like a gangster in society.
Cao Aiqian suddenly thought, isn't this the younger brother Ran Jiang who recommended her to set up a stall in Nanmen Market on Xiao Q last time!
"Okay! Boss Cao, I haven't seen you for a long time recently, and Xiao Q doesn't reply to messages either." Ran Jiang said as he jumped to stand next to Cao Aiqian, one hand hanging on her shoulder like a brother.
"Isn't there nothing that can trouble you, brother?" Cao Aiqian deliberately shook her shoulder and dropped the hand on her shoulder.
"By the way, why are you here this morning? Your family doesn't live in this community. Isn't this area full of science and technology parks?" Ran Jiang touched the braid on his head in confusion.
Seeing the school bus arriving at the school gate, Cao Aiqian hurriedly got off the bus, not forgetting to turn back and say to Ran Jiang: "Brother, let's talk about it later when we have time, I'm almost late."
be late? When did Boss Cao become afraid of being late? Ran Jiang stood there stunned and looked at Cao Aiqian who was gradually running away, with an intriguing smile on his lips.
Cao Aiqian was glad that she was not late. The commendation plaque from the last painting competition was still placed at the school gate. If Ran Jiang's jaw dropped when he saw it, he would definitely have to pull her to explain!
Just entered the classroom.
Xiao Yuanchen looked at Cao Aiqian who was running out of breath: "Why are you late today?"
With Cao Aiqian's changes in recent days, Xiao Yuanchen has automatically classified her into the team of good students.
Seeing that she didn't speak, I guess she came home too late from painting last night, so I silently brought her a glass of warm water and placed it on her desk.
Until class, Cao Aiqian looked at Chen Luoxing's empty seat and asked Xiao Yuanchen quietly: "Hey, where is the Chen Luoxing who likes you?"
Xiao Yuanchen's fair face was flushed, his eyes flashed and he stammered: "Don't talk nonsense, I...I don't like her!"
Cao Aiqian looked at his shy look and couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering.
Then Xiao Yuanchen told her softly that it turned out that Chen Luoxing had been on vacation for the past few days due to a cold, which made Cao Aiqian feel that the whole classroom was much quieter.
The first class in the afternoon was physical education class. Cao Aiqian hated physical education class the most, especially when it was so hot like today.
After a brief formation, the physical education teacher began training for long-distance running. When Cao Aiqian heard that it was a long-distance running, he raised his hand to ask for leave.
Because she has hypoglycemia, she cannot engage in strenuous exercise.
However, her request for leave was not recognized by the teacher, but she was severely criticized.
"Cao Aiqian, all the teachers are very pleased with your recent performance in school. Why did you ask for leave in your best physical education class?" the physical education teacher said with a serious face.
The physical education teacher also expected her to participate in the provincial women's long-distance running competition and bring glory to the school.
Cao Aiqian said with a sad face: "I'm here to be my aunt!"
The teacher looked at her and finally asked her to run 3,000 meters and the other students to run 5,000 meters.
Cao Aiqian gritted her teeth and finally insisted on finishing the run. She gasped and felt such pain for the first time in her student days.
After a while, Cao Aiqian curled up and squatted on the ground. At this time, her face was pale, and there was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead. She held her head with both hands and looked extremely embarrassed.
"What's going on?" Xiao Yuanchen broke away from the team and ran over to look at her nervously.
"I have hypoglycemia! And I seem to have an aunt!" Cao Aiqian said in a weak voice.
At this time, the students all finished the five-kilometer run one after another. Several students helped Cao Aiqian to the shade of a tree.
"Hypoglycemia? I remember you were always jumping up and down. During the sports meeting, you even ran the women's 5,000-meter long-distance race?" A classmate ran over and said.
Xiao Yuanchen frowned slightly and glared at the classmate, who remained silent.
Cao Aiqian smiled bitterly when she heard this, and she felt her head getting heavier and heavier.
There is a voice in my mind that keeps saying: I am so tired...I am really sleepy...I want to sleep..."
Then he completely lost consciousness and fell unconscious in Xiao Yuanchen's arms.
"Ai Qian!!!"
After Cao Aiqian fainted, the physical education teacher rushed over and asked Xiao Yuanchen to take her to the infirmary for examination.
"Mom, show her quickly!" Xiao Yuanchen shouted eagerly as soon as he entered the infirmary door.
Xiao's mother was playing mahjong when she heard her son calling and ran out of the back room. At a glance, she saw her son standing in front of the door holding a girl.
When Xiao's mother saw Xiao Yuanchen holding the girl, her heart suddenly skipped two beats.
"This...is classmate Cao Aiqian in your class?" Xiao's mother pointed at the girl and asked in surprise.
She often heard her son talk about this girl, how rebellious she was before and how outstanding she is now. She had seen her on TV during the last interview for the painting competition.
"Mom, show her quickly. She fainted after running 3,000 meters in gym class. This has never happened before!" Xiao Yuanchen gently put the girl on the hospital bed and covered her with a quilt, urging his mother eagerly.
After Xiao's mother checked her whole body, she breathed a sigh of relief. He slowly said to Xiao Yuanchen: "She has hypoglycemia. She will be fine after taking a rest!"
Xiao Yuanchen nodded, hypoglycemia? So how did she get first place in the 5,000 meters in the previous sports meeting?
Xiao Yuanchen turned around and looked at the girl lying on the bed. Her eyes were closed tightly, her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, her cheeks were extremely pale due to lack of water, and her lips had lost their color, just like a porcelain doll.
He felt very distressed and wanted to reach out and touch her, but he was afraid of hurting her.
All his expressions were seen by Xiao's mother, with an aunt's smile on her face.
"We, Yuan Chen, have grown up. Do you have a girl you like?" Xiao's mother walked over and patted him on the shoulder, smiling.
Xiao Yuanchen came back to his senses, scratched his head in embarrassment, and whispered: "Mom, don't get me wrong, I... just care about my classmates..."
Yeah? "Mother Xiao deliberately prolonged her voice, with an ambiguous light in her eyes.
Xiao Yuanchen blushed when she stared at him and turned his head away unconsciously.
Xiao's mother laughed even harder when she saw this, and then asked Xiao Yuanchen to go to school, saying that Ai Qian would be taken care of by her.
Probably more than an hour passed.
Cao Aiqian felt drowsily awakened by a phone call. She opened her eyes and rubbed her head with her hands.
Shit, Ma Teng called him twice, and Cao Kouwen made more than twenty calls! !
Cao Aiqian sat up from the bed and saw a glass of watermelon juice on the bedside table with a note under the glass.
She had seen the cup before. If she remembered correctly, it belonged to Xiao Yuanchen, but she didn't want to drink it now.
After briefly saying goodbye to Dr. Xiao, she sent a text message to Xiao Yuanchen to thank her, and asked Teacher Yan for leave to go home and rest.
She ran out of the school gate and happened to meet Cao Kouwen rushing to school.
"Cao Aiqian! Why are you going? Why are you not answering the phone?"
Cao Kowen was panting, with anger in his eyes, and he seemed to be angry with her.
"I... don't feel well. I was just lying in the school infirmary and didn't hear your call..." Cao Aiqian lowered her head and said with a haggard expression.
Cao Kouwen looked at her with a distressed expression, and his tone began to become extremely gentle: "I have already heard what your teacher said, do you know how worried I am about you?"
Cao Aiqian raised his head, his eyes full of grievance.
Seeing this, Cao Kouwen felt heartbroken: "You fool, are you going home with your brother?"
Cao Aiqian was completely moved by the sudden tenderness, but then she thought of his investigation into her last night?
She shook her head, presumably if he knew that she was not the real Cao Aiqian, he wouldn't care about her like this!
Or maybe he was trying to fulfill the promise made by his adoptive parents before they were alive. She remembered that Cao Kouwen promised his adoptive parents before they were alive that he would be good to his sister.
The car soon drove into the Cao family villa, and Cao Aiqian returned to her room in the name of rest.
She lay on the bed and rested for a while, then dialed Ma Teng's phone number.
Ma Teng's familiar and excited voice came from over there: "Xiao Cao, the Xiao Q avatar you designed has been used by about 4 million people, and the number of new App registrations increased by 1 million in one day!"
