Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

Throughout the afternoon, Xu Xing took Yan Chiju around around Min University, visiting six or seven entrepreneurial parks in a row, and did not return to the gate of Min University until almost six o'clock in the evening.

The taxi stopped at the school gate, and Yan Chijuan, who was sitting in the back, handed the change he had prepared to the driver.

As Xu Xing watched the driver take the banknotes from Yan Chijuan, he couldn't help but touch his chin and asked curiously: "Master, do you have a taxi app now?"

"What?"

“You can find the software for passengers directly on your mobile phone.”

"What the hell?" The driver didn't understand. "How do I find customers on my mobile phone?"

"Oh, it's okay." Xu Xing smiled and without asking any more questions, opened the door and got out of the car with Yan Chijuan.

The two of them stood at the gate of the school. Xu Xing stretched out and sighed in his heart that there were so many opportunities now. Although they were not as good as at the beginning of the century, it could not be said that there were none.

It's just that too many opportunities require the support of luck and capital, otherwise it will be difficult to survive the encirclement and suppression.

Xu Xing didn't think about it so much anymore. At the moment, the most important thing was to do his own thing well.

And there is still a problem that needs to be solved by him.

So he turned his head, looked at Yan Chijuan, and asked, "I didn't bring any change, so I'm going back to the dormitory first, and I'll go have dinner with my roommate later."

"Ah? It's already six o'clock. Boss, your roommates should have finished eating, right?" Yan Chiju couldn't help but said, "If you don't bring any change, I'll treat you first."

"That's okay." Xu Xing nodded decisively and pointed at the Malatang on the street opposite the school gate, "I haven't eaten Malatang for a long time, let's eat that one."

"Okay." Yan Chijuan didn't notice Xu Xing's little trick at all, and readily agreed. He was still immersed in the joy of having dinner with Xu Xing.

Little did he know that she had actually taken care of her boss temporarily.

The two of them walked across the road and walked into the Malatang shop. They were just about to find a seat to sit down when they heard a familiar voice coming from next to them.

"Junior? Are you coming to eat too?"

Xu Xing turned around and saw that Yu Youjia and Zhou Jing were sitting at a table in the corner. He couldn't help but smile and say hello: "Senior Yu, Senior Zhou."

"You order food first, and we'll cook it for you later." Yu Youjia pointed to the empty seat opposite them and said.

Xu Xing nodded and agreed happily.

But Yan Chijuan was a little shy and subconsciously followed Xu Xing to order, asking in a low voice: "Boss, who are they?"

"Oh, that senior is my sister's roommate. They are both juniors." Xu Xing introduced while picking meat from the freezer, "The boy next to me is the senior's boyfriend. He just graduated this year and is also from Min University.

Senior."

"Oh." Yan Chijiu nodded, feeling a little relieved.

But when I thought that Yu Youjia was Xu Xing's sister's roommate, I felt a little guilty.

But now that it was over, she couldn't escape anywhere, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and finish choosing dishes with Xu Xing, then sit at the table with Yu Youjia and Zhou Jing.

"Who is this?" Yu Youjia looked at the little sister next to Xu Xing and asked curiously, "Last time, your sister said you were single, right? Is it difficult for you?"

"Ahem." Xu Xing coughed and interrupted, "He's my classmate, classmate."

"Oh." Yu Youjia chuckled, "Well, I understand, classmate."

Xu Xing: "..."

Why do you feel like you don't know anything?

Zhou Jing, who was on the side, looked at Xu Xing's speechless expression and the little sister next to him who lowered her head and did not dare to look at anyone. He suddenly laughed: "We are not teachers and parents, and we will not eat people."

"What a classmate." Xu Xing was helpless and didn't know how to explain it.

You can't say that Yan Chiju is his employee. Previously, Senior Yu, you and Xu Niannian's art resources were all working for his studio, right?

Xu Niannian might have come after him with a knife the next day.

If I had known earlier, I should have gone to the barbecue restaurant next door.

The main reason is that he is too embarrassed to go too far with Yanchi's vinegar. After all, this little girl has tender skin and tender flesh, and her wallet finally bulges out a little. Eating barbecue is a bit too extravagant and wasteful.

But who would have thought that instead of eating barbecue, you couple would come here to eat Malatang?

Fortunately, Youjia was not a person who didn't understand the atmosphere. He just made a little joke and got over it, chatting about other things while eating.

"There will be military training tomorrow, just pay attention to sun protection." Yu Youjia reminded, then smiled and said, "I will pray for you in my heart."

"May I lend you some kind words." Xu Xing didn't care much about this, and just said, "As long as the sun is not too bright, military training is also good for the body."

After all, he was nearly thirty in his previous life and had been sitting for long periods of time. His body was basically as good as that of a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties.

This time I was reborn and returned to my young body again. The physical strength and activity really made people mentally different.

"There's nothing else to say now." Yu Youjia thought for a while, and after eating the spicy hotpot, before leaving, she did not forget to introduce herself with a smile, "The department is recruiting new people after the start of school, and the work-study department of the Student Affairs Center welcomes them.

Your participation."

The boyfriend next to him, Zhou Jing, laughed: "You are almost going to quit the club after school starts, so don't try to attract customers here."

"What does it matter?" Yu Youjia chuckled twice, stood up and said goodbye to the two of them.

At this time, Xu Xing and Yan Chijuan's spicy hotpots were served. After waving goodbye to Yu Youjia and Zhou Jing, they lowered their heads and started eating.

"If Senior Yu and Senior Zhou were joking just now, don't take it seriously." Xu Xing was halfway through eating when he suddenly said this, "My sister and I went out together with them before, so we are familiar with each other, so it was just a joke.

.”

"Yeah." Yan Chiju blinked, lowered his head and ate the spicy hotpot in silence. In fact, he didn't mind at all.

Although I was so shy when I was told that I wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in, but looking back now, I can't help but recall the feeling of being misunderstood.

It was as if at that moment, she and her boss were lovers, giving her the illusion that she was in a dream.

Xu Xing ate spicy hotpot and glanced at the side face of the girl who was lost in fantasy, with a helpless expression in her eyes.

It is definitely impossible to say that he is not aware of Yan Chijiu's affection for him.

But he said before that there were many reasons that prevented him from dealing with this matter directly for the time being.

First of all, the simplest point is that he doesn't want to put his mind on things like falling in love prematurely.

Although he is a so-called reborn person, he seems to be a son of destiny.

However, the prophetic conditions actually grasped are only the context of some general directions in the next ten years.

In many industries, if you want to enter the industry now, there are no small barriers to entry. It is no longer like it was at the beginning of the century, where you can easily get investment just by relying on an idea and the gimmick of Internet+.

Moreover, since he was reborn, Xu Xing was naturally not willing to just make money for the capital behind him.

If you want to make money, of course it is most comfortable to make money for yourself.

Therefore, especially in the current starting stage, before even taking the first step of fruit assassin, putting your mind on things like love is putting the cart before the horse.

He is not a superman and can handle the three dimensions of study + entrepreneurship + love at the same time.

Secondly, the second point is that Xu Xing is now the boss of a company, and Yan Chijuan is a formal employee of this company who has signed a contract.

Although it is still a start-up company, there is still a superior-subordinate relationship between the boss and employees.

Especially after the release of Fruit Assassin, once enough funds have been accumulated for the studio, Xu Xing can start three or four new projects at the same time and promote them together to expand the staff of the studio.

By then, office romance will be an unavoidable problem.

After all, when Xu Xing lured Yan Chiju in, it was not because of her appearance and body, but because Xu Xing's later generations knew very well that Yan Chiju was a high-tech talent with high potential.

The purpose of recruiting potential investors to his team in advance is to speed up the development of the studio.

If the operation of the studio is hindered in the future because of falling in love, then the original purpose will be reversed.

The last reason is Xu Xing's help to Yan Chijuan.

Yan Chiju had no choice but to run away from home in her second year of high school and was taken in by an Internet cafe. During this period, she studied hard and made a living by practicing games, and finally completed the college entrance examination.

When she was short of money to go to college after the college entrance examination, Xu Xing not only provided her with college tuition and living expenses, but also provided gentle help in a way that did not hurt Yan Chijue's self-esteem.

It is difficult for anyone not to have a good impression of Xu Xing.

But for a girl who has just graduated from high school, Xu Xing is not sure whether this good impression is more about love between men and women or more about gratitude.

Coupled with the current relationship between the two bosses and employees, if he wanted to get Yan Chi's jealousy, it might be a very simple thing, but it would feel like he was taking advantage of others.

Four years of college is still a long time. Being anxious for a while may bring temporary happiness and comfort, but it is often more likely to lay the foundation for future troubles.

As a reborn person in his late thirties, Xu Xing has a more mature and steady way of thinking about issues.

It is impossible to happily accept a relationship just for the sake of having sex with a little girl.

That is probably the biggest irresponsibility to Yan Chi’s jealousy, to the start-up company, and to himself.

So Xu Xing's idea at the moment is very simple.

First make the game Fruit Assassin well and initially open up the mobile game market at home and abroad.

Only when the studio's funds are sufficient will he consider handling this matter with Yan Chijuan.

At this point, it is actually logical to deal with Xu Xing's current concealment of Xu Niannian's studio.

By then, with new funds, Xu Xing would naturally have the confidence to accept the two employees leaving the studio.

Giving them the right to choose is how Xu Xing respects them.

Instead of suddenly putting the burden of the decision on them at the critical moment when the Fruit Assassin comes online, in an attempt to obtain the results they want in the form of moral kidnapping.

That would not be beautiful anymore.

…

After eating the spicy hotpot, Yan Chijuan felt his stomach with satisfaction, then got up and went to the front desk, and paid for the meal very happily. It felt like he had paid but still made money.

Then Yan Chijuan followed Xu Xing out and returned to the gate of Min University.

Xu Xing took out his cell phone and looked at the time, and found that it was already past 6:40 in the evening, and he also received a text message from Jian Jiashu, saying that the three of them had already gone to the teaching building first, and asked Xu Xing to go directly there when he came back.

So Xu Xing said to Yan Chiju: "It's almost seven o'clock. Let's go directly to the teaching building for a class meeting."

"Yeah." Yan Chi was naturally jealous and followed Xu Xing obediently, only half a step behind, so that she could secretly look at Xu Xing at any time.

At this time, the sky had darkened, the crescent moon and the setting sun appeared simultaneously in the east and west, and the worlds of white and black began to merge.

Just as the two of them were passing by the side of the teaching building from the south, they suddenly heard a somewhat familiar conversation.

"It's okay, it's okay. You really don't have to. You're too polite."

"No, no, your teachers work so hard. A small gift would not be considered respectful. It's just some fruit or something. Teacher Wu, you can take it to the office and share it with your colleagues."

Xu Xing and Yan Chijuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw their counselor, Wu Zhiguo, communicating with two other people at the entrance of the corridor at the side door of the teaching building.

Yan Chijiu didn't pay much attention, he just looked at it for a few times and then looked away.

But Xu Xing recognized the two people, it was Xue Weiqiang and his father Xue Yongming.

At this time, Xue Yongming was holding a red canvas bag with unknown gifts inside, which he was delivering to Wu Zhiguo.

The two of them offered gifts and I declined. In the end, Wu Zhiguo couldn't refuse, and since they looked like fruits, he accepted them.

"I don't ask the teacher to take special care of our family, Weiqiang. We have always upheld the concept of fair competition. I just hope that if our Weiqiang encounters any difficulties or problems in school, teacher, you can take more care of us."

What Xue Yongming said was so airtight that no one could find any fault with it.

Wu Zhiguo touched his bald head and smiled helplessly: "Actually, nothing happens in the school, and it is our counselor's duty to deal with students' problems, so you are worrying too much."

Xu Xing stopped eavesdropping. After shaking his head slightly, he and Yan Chijuan walked to the main entrance of the teaching building, went up the stairs to the second floor, and found classroom 208 where their class was going to hold a class meeting.

But before entering the classroom, Yan Chiju suddenly remembered that she came here with Xu Xing. When she thought of her roommate's teasing expression, she suddenly felt a little guilty and hurriedly said at the door of the classroom: "I, I'm going to use the toilet, you go first

go in."

Xu Xing nodded without doubting his presence, watched Yan Chijuan run towards the bathroom, turned around and walked straight into the classroom first.

After scanning around the door, Xu Xing found Lu Pengyou and others sitting in the fifth row by the window.

At this time, Zhang Nong was sitting in the innermost position, opening a book he carried with him and chewing on it.

Next to him was Jian Jiashu, and then Lu Pengyou. The space near the aisle was reserved for Xu Xing.

After Xu Xing sat down, Lu Pengyou grabbed Xu Xing's neck in a familiar manner and asked with a smile: "You are dishonest. You ran away after receiving your military training uniform. Why don't you ask Zhang Nong where you have been?"

I didn’t say, did you go do something bad?”

Xu Xing, who was imprisoned, looked innocent and only said: "I got together with my high school classmates. After all, there is military training tomorrow. Is it normal to go out and have a meal before military training?"

"Good guy." Lu Pengyou couldn't help but smacked his lips, "What kind of class are you in? How many of you can get into Min University?"

"The local key class, it's normal." Xu Xing took his arm away and simply brushed the matter off.

But what he didn't know was that Xue Weiqiang came up from downstairs at this time. When he passed by Xu Xing, he happened to hear him talking about a get-together with his high school classmates, and he couldn't help but frown.

When he sat back in his seat, Xue Weiqiang couldn't help but turn around and ask Wang Jian beside him: "Did you go out with Xu Xing in the afternoon?"

Wang Jian looked confused at this time. He blinked and didn't react. He didn't know why Xue Weiqiang suddenly asked such a question: "I have been in the dormitory all the time, and why did I go out to play with Xu Xing?"

"But..." Xue Weiqiang choked, and immediately took out his mobile phone, found Wang Jiaxin's QQ, and wanted to type a question, but after thinking about it, he held his breath and just asked.

[Xue Weiqiang]: What did you do in the afternoon? Have you received your military training uniform?

[Wang Jiaxin]: I got it, what’s wrong?

[Xue Weiqiang]: Did you go out to play after receiving it? When the military training started, there was no time to go out.

[Wang Jiaxin]: Haha~ How did you know?

[Wang Jiaxin]: My roommate and I went to the snack street for a walk. Do you want anything to eat? Can I bring you some when I go back tonight?

Xue Weiqiang looked at the chat history on his phone and felt silent for a moment. He couldn't tell what was going on, but he didn't know whether Xu Xing was lying or Wang Jiaxin was lying.

In the end, he could only deceive himself and send a message to Wang Jiaxin.

[Xue Weiqiang]: Okay, if you can’t eat the snacks, bring the rest back to me.

[Wang Jiaxin]: Okay~ I’ll go find you downstairs in your dormitory that night~

After chatting with Wang Jiaxin, Xue Weiqiang glanced at Xu Xing very vaguely, and finally chose to put the matter behind him for the time being.

After Xu Xing was questioned by Lu Pengyou, he also changed the subject and began to discuss the class meeting and Lu Pengyou's competition for class president.

"You just need to vote for me later. I have already got at least half of the boys' votes." Lu Pengyou whispered to Xu Xing, "This wave is sure to win."

Unfortunately, Xu Xing, who had just listened in the corner, felt that things were not that simple, but it was not easy to dissuade Lu Pengyou from his enthusiasm, so he just nodded and said: "No problem."

After a while, the time came to seven o'clock in the evening.

Yan Chiju sneaked in from the back door of the classroom, found where his roommate was sitting, and sat down near the aisle.

Across the aisle, right across the street is Xu Xing.

The two looked at each other and then separated.

Then Yan Chijuan was pulled over by Xue Hong next to him, and he asked her with a smile what he was doing in the afternoon.

Then I heard Yan Chijie explain that he just got together with his high school classmates.

Immediately afterwards, the three roommates all said "Oh~" in unison.

Fortunately, the counselor didn't make Yan Chiju blush for too long. Not two minutes after seven o'clock, he walked in from the door with his bald head in his hand, stood on the podium, and slapped the documents in his hand on the table.

Soon, the buzzing chatter in the classroom immediately stopped.

Freshmen who have just graduated from high school are still a little in awe of the majesty of their teachers.

Especially Wu Zhiguo, a bald middle-aged serious man, which adds a bit of intimidation.

"Okay, let's start the first class meeting."

"Let me introduce myself first."

Wu Zhiguo turned around and wrote his name, phone number, and QQ account on the blackboard.

"You can call me Teacher Wu. When we get to know each other later, you can just call me Lao Wu."

Wu Zhiguo smiled when he said this and pointed to the contact information at the back: "Usually, if you have important matters, just call me. If it's not an emergency, you can also leave a message on QQ first."

"Remember to note your grade, class and name when adding me."

"OK, after you have memorized it, let's briefly introduce ourselves."

"Let me take a look."

Wu Zhiguo lowered his head and looked at the list: "Xue Weiqiang, let's go in order of student number and introduce ourselves one by one."

At this time, Xue Weiqiang had already stood up and walked towards the blackboard.

Xu Xing, on the other hand, watched with boredom. After all, with just such a self-introduction, most people would not be able to remember so many faces and names unless they were classmates who were good-looking or funny.

Even when Xu Xing graduated from his undergraduate degree in his previous life, he was still unable to match the names of some of his classmates with their faces.

So I don’t pay much attention to this part of self-introduction.

On the other hand, across the aisle, as soon as Yan Chijuan heard that he was going to go on stage to introduce himself, his little hands had already clenched tightly, and he began to draft in his mind, trying to think of what to say before he went on stage.
