Chapter 1657: Chapter 618: A Match Made in Heaven

"Congratulations, Host, on successfully kissing the target person, with a reward of 200,000 yuan!"

"...Is that enough?"

Zhang Jingdong instantly felt happy: "Haha... It’s more than enough..."

He let go of Song Yunshan, but still held her hand tightly, and continued to walk up.

Although the sun hadn’t come out yet, the sky was already bright, and the rivers and trees in the distant canyon became more and more distinct, extremely spectacular.

Zhang Jingdong casually said: "You’ve been in Shanghai for almost a year now, what’s your impression of the city?"

Song Yunshan thought seriously for a moment, then said: "To begin with, I think Shanghai isn’t as extravagant as I imagined."

"Before going there, based on what I saw on TV and various books, I always thought Shanghai was a very prosperous, very fashionable, and even a city of debauchery."

"But after going there, I feel Shanghai isn’t what I expected. There are actually many old alleyways, coffee shops, and small stores everywhere. Only Pudong has some skyscrapers; other places aren’t much different from Jiangdu."

Zhang Jingdong teased: "I heard someone say that people from different levels see completely different Shanghais."

"For instance, we students go there and see that its appearance is not extraordinary. However, very wealthy people see an extravagant Shanghai, because there are many services there that wealthy people from other places can’t enjoy."

"For example, there are hotel rooms costing hundreds of thousands for one night, and meals valued at hundreds of thousands. In short, one sentence: Your money may not be spent elsewhere, but in Shanghai, you can certainly spend it."

Song Yunshan thought deeply and nodded: "What you’re saying is somewhat harsh, but indeed quite reasonable."

Zhang Jingdong laughed: "What’s your impression of the people in Shanghai?"

"I feel that Shanghai people have a very intense desire for money. Many of them understand stocks very well, and a lot of ordinary citizens who don’t have much money are passionate about stock trading."

"In schools, Shanghai students have very distinct characteristics. They are very particular about dressing, use fashionable items, and have a lifestyle very petite bourgeoisie."

"For instance, in coffee-drinking, some of their living expenses are not much, only about a thousand yuan, but they’re willing to spend dozens on a cup of good coffee, or even a couple of hundred on afternoon tea."

At this point, Zhang Jingdong naturally let go of Song Yunshan’s hand and put his arm around her fragrant shoulder: "Do you like their lifestyles?"

"Can’t say if I like it or not, as every lifestyle has its pros and cons. Also, I think nowadays our lifestyles are integrating."

"For instance, under my Shanghai roommate’s influence, I’ve started liking coffee, and under my influence, she increasingly became a hotpot enthusiast."

Zhang Jingdong nodded in agreement: "Indeed, that’s true since people originally learn from each other, complement each other’s strengths, and thereby achieve progress together."

"Will you choose to stay in Shanghai in the future?"

Song Yunshan hesitated for a moment, and then nodded: "I probably will, because after graduation I basically have two options: return to Jiangdu or stay in Shanghai."

"Compared to Jiangdu, I prefer Shanghai’s aura and pace of life. Besides, my major makes it easier to find a fitting job in Shanghai."

Zhang Jingdong curiously asked: "By the way, I’ve always forgotten to ask, what’s your major?"

"Business Administration."

Zhang Jingdong immediately became cheerful: "Sweetheart, I’m now completely certain that we’re truly a match made in heaven!"

"You picked this major perfectly. I’m planning to start a company in Shanghai next year, and you, as the proprietor, happen to be studying Business Administration. We’re simply a perfect couple!"

Upon hearing this, Song Yunshan was also quite excited: "Are you really going to start a company in Shanghai?"

Zhang Jingdong nodded: "Of course, it’s true. Any company that wants to become national must open branches in first-tier cities like Shanghai and Yanjing."

"Moreover, under our group, Qingyun Technology Company’s Renren Network has now surpassed thirty million registered users, and our next step will be entering the e-commerce industry. The first choice for our branches is Hang City and Shanghai."

"Previously, I hesitated because I didn’t have someone I could fully trust in Shanghai. Now that you’re here, I’ll finalize Shanghai as the location, and you, as the proprietress, will personally preside over it."

Song Yunshan initially looked delighted but soon indicated a bit of difficulty: "Jingdong, but... your company is too large, and I haven’t graduated yet. I can’t bear such a heavy responsibility!"

Zhang Jingdong patiently said: "Don’t worry, I’ll assign a few strong associates for you. All you need to do is gradually familiarize yourself with the company’s business and organizational structure, and then consistently inform me of the company’s actual operational situation."

"Moreover, as long as you’re present in the company, those people won’t dare to easily fool me."

"In the future, our group will definitely grow larger, and there will surely be more branches. I’m just one person, unable to handle everything. Shanghai is an important strategic location, so only someone close to me like you presiding over it would give me peace of mind."

Song Yunshan suddenly understood and silently resolved to assist Zhang Jingdong with his endeavors.
