Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

At seven o'clock in the evening, the movie started on time.

Xu Xing sat in the last row with Yan Chijuan. On the table were the fruits, snacks and drinks distributed by the class committee just now.

He helped Yan Chiju unscrew the cap of the drink, and after Xu Xing handed it to her, he unscrewed his own bottle of drink, took a sip, and started eating melon seeds.

As the content of the movie slowly unfolded, Yan Chijuan was quickly attracted to the plot, following the perspectives of the three main characters and experiencing the joys and sorrows.

Xu Xing stood by with a helpless look on his face, regretting very much that he had agreed to come over to Yan Chijuan.

If he had known it was Painted Skin 2, he might as well have worked overtime in the office.

Even if the power goes out again, it would be better than coming here.

Even if you don't work overtime, it's perfectly fine to just take Yan Chijuan to the cinema to watch other movies. Why do you have to come back to participate in class activities?

You really asked for it...

However, when Xu Xing turned to look at Yan Chijuan, his eyes falling on her delicate profile and those bright eyes that were watching the movie seriously, the helpless emotions in his heart were instantly eliminated.

Forget it, as long as she is happy.

Just pretend you haven't seen it before...

That being said, if you watch a movie that you have already watched again in a short period of time, it will undoubtedly be a torture for the moviegoer.

This is equivalent to giving yourself a spoiler. When you see the first act, you think of the plot of the second act, and by the way, you also recall the third act.

Even as soon as he saw the male and female protagonists meet, Xu Xing immediately recalled that they would roll into the same bed in an hour.

What else does this mean?

It's better to take a closer look at Yan Chijuan's face next to her. It's much better than the movie.

However, Xu Xing's emotions obviously cannot represent the emotions of others in this classroom.

Especially now that college has just started, military training has just ended, and classes will officially start tomorrow, and everyone is in a period of strong hormones, and now the movies are still showing romance movies.

Under Xue Weiqiang's intentional guidance, most of the boys and girls sat apart from each other, and there was no situation where boys were divided into groups of girls.

Xu Xing used the bright light of the movie screen to scan the seating arrangement in the classroom and quickly found several of his roommates.

Zhang Nong is sitting in the seventh or eighth row on the right hand side in front, with Li Nan sitting next to him, then Xue Hong, then Jian Jiashu, and beyond that is Xu Yingying.

As for Lu Pengyou, he was now surrounded by business girls. There were one or two girls on the left-hand seat in front, and his luck was in full bloom.

Although there was nothing more than a big embarrassment at the opening ceremony today, that was actually because most of the class was boys, and because the flag bearer was one of our own, we paid more attention during the military training parade, so everyone watched the entire scene of Lu Pengyou's shoes flying out.

People who have seen it will naturally find it funny.

But when Lu Pengyou's shoes flew out, he had already passed the position in front of the rostrum, and most people's eyes had already followed to the square array behind.

If he had just listened to the president of the student union talk about this at the opening ceremony, then his image of Lu Pengyou should indeed be quite positive.

That being said, it's not unusual to be able to attract girls.

After all, Lu Pengyou is not ugly, at least he is not as handsome as Jian Jiashu and Xu Xing, but he is still 1.88 meters tall, with a strong body and a resolute face, which makes him feel safe at first glance.

Of course, the premise is that he talks less.

…

The movie soon played a relatively cheesy clip.

The boys all seemed a little excited, but they were also in a good mood, showing a very awkward state of wanting to see but not looking.

Girls, on the other hand, shyly turned away their heads, or covered their faces reservedly, but kept glancing at the screen from the corners of their turned heads, and their fingers covering their faces were wide open.

Yan Chijuan was very shy. He blushed and covered his cheeks, but he couldn't help but secretly peeked between his fingers. He also glanced at Xu Xing secretly and saw that he was watching with interest and didn't pay attention.

After he came to his side, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued reading.

For Xu Xing, this is probably the second time he watched the movie and he wouldn't mind watching it a second time.

Although the content after review is not very explicit, it can easily arouse the passion of young boys.

Even though Xu Xing's soul is almost thirty years old, his body is still that of a young man after all, and he cannot restrain his instinct to appreciate such a beautiful scene.

But after this short period of time passed, Xu Xing returned to the boring stage.

Until the end of the movie, Yan Chijuan watched the male protagonist make the final choice. After the three of them finally came to a happy ending, their originally tense bodies finally relaxed and they were immersed in the afterglow of watching a wonderful movie.

"boss."

"Um?"

"Tell me, if you were the male protagonist here, would you choose the beautiful skin or the soul that attracts you?" Yan Chijie blinked and asked curiously.

Xu Xing: "..."

Why do you girls especially like to ask such philosophical questions after watching this kind of movie?

"What about you?" Xu Xing did not answer first, but asked directly, "If you like both the appearance of a boy and the personality of another boy, which one would you choose?"

Now it was Yan Chi Jiu's turn to get entangled.

She lowered her head and plucked her fingers, thinking carefully for a while, and then hesitantly said: "Can't these two get together? Just find a good-looking boy with a good personality..."

Anyway, the boss has both good looks and personality, so Yan Chijiu feels that he doesn't have to worry about this matter at all.

Xu Xing immediately nodded in agreement: "I think so too."

Yan Chijiu blinked and tilted his head, a little unresponsive. Is the boss answering or not?

I always felt like I had answered, but I felt like something was wrong, so I was fooled.

"Don't think so much when you're watching a movie." Xu Xing stretched out in his seat, "Your roommate is waiting for you to go back."

At this moment, the movie ends and the lights in the classroom are turned on, making it bright.

The screen on the blackboard of the podium was slowly put away. Xue Weiqiang announced that the class meeting was a great success and hoped that everyone would have a happy day. Then he announced the end of the class meeting and everyone dispersed.

If there is someone you like, then you can go out on campus together to have a heart-to-heart talk and further enhance your relationship.

However, it was obvious that Xu Xing and Yan Chijuan's roommates had not gained anything, including Lu Pengyou, they all gathered together to prepare to go back to the dormitory.

Yan Chijiu waved to Xu Xing reluctantly, trotted back to her roommates, and went back to the dormitory with Xu Yingying and the others.

As a study committee member, Zhang Nong had to stay and clean up with other class committee members, so Xu Xing and the other three simply stayed to help out.

While cleaning up, Lu Pengyou complained: "You shouldn't watch a movie with a love triangle like this, it's too deceiving."

"What's wrong?" Jian Jiashu asked curiously.

"I was doing activities this afternoon, and I was able to chat with a few girls. We also sat together to watch a movie in the evening, and we could chat while watching it." Lu Pengyou couldn't help complaining, "But it turned out that the movie was almost over, and a girl

Ask me, if you like someone who is good-looking and has a personality, and two girls ask me which one I would choose."

"Hey, how could any girl be so bored as to ask such a question..."

"Wouldn't it be nice to see things like this in movies?"

"Xu Yingying and Xue Hong also asked me just now." Jian Jiashu said, "Maybe girls like to ask this kind of question, right? Xu Xing?"

"Yeah." Xu Xingtan nodded firmly, "Yan Chiju also asked, so Brother Lu, what did you say?"

"It's all or nothing." Lu Pengyou said, "Isn't the ending in the movie similar?"

Jian Jiashu: "...Then you are quite honest."

Xu Xing suppressed a smile and patted Lu Pengyou on the shoulder, not knowing what to say.

If it had been another ten years, Lu Pengyou would probably have been labeled a man with a low head due to his actions.

"Oh no." Lu Pengyou looked dissatisfied, "Then what did you say?"

Jian Jiashu smiled slightly: "I said I would only like girls who match my aesthetics and have similar personalities, so this won't happen."

"..." Lu Pengyou choked and looked at Xu Xing again, "What about you?"

"I directly asked her what would happen if she was asked to choose between two boys." Xu Xing shrugged, "Anyway, I will choose whatever she chooses."

Lu Pengyou was a little speechless, and finally said dullly: "Is there such a deep plot here?"

Zhang Nong, who was cleaning quietly at the side, after listening to their conversation, said seriously: "Brother Lu, is there a possibility that even if Jian Jiashu and Xu Xing say they want both, the girl next to them will not be angry, but will

Do you think they are very humorous?"

Lu Pengyou: "..."

"After all, one is talking to the girl he likes, and the other two are talking to girls who like him. These two..."

"Zhang Nong! Shut up, damn you! Damn it!"

…

September 2, morning.

Freshmen from the class of 2012 have officially begun classes.

Unlike liberal arts, college courses in science and engineering will not be as easy as those in high school.

Even in high school, students study late at night and do not need to attend classes. However, in the university schedule of science and engineering, there is a high probability that even the evening courses will be filled up.

In the five-day course a week, there are probably only a few periods when there are no classes, and everything is fully scheduled.

Especially in the field of computer science, relatively advanced universities in China such as Min University can still keep up with the pace of development in this field.

The training method of the School of Electronic Science and Technology does not distinguish between specific majors during the freshman year. After the first year of study and learning all the basic computer knowledge, the students will be divided into subdivided majors in the sophomore year.

.

Including the more popular computer science and technology, software engineering, and the relatively niche big data, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, and information security.

These subdivided majors all belong to the computer field, and the underlying basic requirements are similar. However, when you study in depth, there will be different branch directions to a certain extent. At this time, you have to choose your own specialization direction.

For Xu Xing and Yan Chijuan, the freshman courses are relatively simple, especially some of the courses with practical content. They have already passed the exam in advance.

On the contrary, it was something that was more theoretical knowledge, and even Xu Xing had to put a little effort into following it up.

However, compared with other students, Xu Xing still has obvious advantages in learning.

After all, in my previous life, I was also a contestant with a master's degree in accounting. If I couldn't even cope with my undergraduate degree, it would be too embarrassing to tell anyone.

[Yuan Chengqiu]: I have received some resumes in the company mailbox. I don’t know much about the programmers and artists you want. Please take the time to take a look at it yourself. I’ll recruit administrative and financial people first?

During the class, Xu Xing took advantage of the fact that he was good at this class and took care of the company's affairs.

[Yi Li Yanyu]: Well, you can hire one person each for administration and finance, as long as they can help you. I will interview the other people, and you can help me screen the resumes first.

[Yi Li Yan Yu]: Programmer’s resume. Those under 30 years old must have a bachelor’s degree or above. Those over 30 years old must have at least 5 years of relevant work experience. I will send you a detailed job description later.

For the requirements form, you can simply screen it first.

[Yi Li Yanyu]: You can handle the administration and finance by yourself in these two days. For the remaining selected people, you can help me arrange them until Saturday and Sunday. Then I will come over and interview them in person.

[Yuan Cheng Qiu]: OK, I’ll get busy first.

Yao Yuanyuan, who was far away in the financial office of the entrepreneurial park, stayed here alone and deserted, and began to screen resumes.

She first classified her resumes, selected a few candidates who met the financial and administrative needs, and sent them the interview time and location.

Then I received various subdivision requests from Xu Xing.

In terms of programmers, Xu Xing generally needs two types of people.

One type is young coders who are young and motivated, although their ability and experience are temporarily insufficient, but their academic qualifications and resume are pretty good.

The other type is those who have certain work experience, preferably those who have participated in some relatively large projects, and even have experience in personally hosting projects.

The former is relatively easy to find. As for the latter, Xu Xing also stated in the demand list that it is not mandatory.

After all, Xu Xing himself has solid project experience, and he also has ready-made game products in his mind that can be used directly. It can only be said that there is a demand for this part of the talent, and they can help Xu Xing share the planning and overall work, but currently there is no

It's just necessary.

On the contrary, it is the relatively low-level code farmers, who are the most lacking labor force in studios now.

In addition, there are talents in related fields such as art, music and sound effects.

Because he considered that part of the content could be directly outsourced, Xu Xing did not set any requirements. He simply made some plans. It would be best if he had the right candidates, and it didn't matter if he didn't.

There are currently three offices in the studio's office space, one of which belongs to Yao Yuanyuan's financial office, where all the financial personnel who will be recruited later will work here.

The administrative staff recruited are placed in the boss's office in the middle, and the last office is used as a utility room and lounge.

In addition to the office, the public office area outside can accommodate a total of 24 people's office needs.

Xu Xing only reserves four to six people for jobs other than programmers, and the rest of the positions are reserved for programmers.

After reading Xu Xing's demand list, Yao Yuanyuan began to screen resumes.

First, it was easier to select the resumes within five years of graduation, and sort them directly according to the level of academic qualifications. After placing the first thirty or forty boxes, Yao Yuanyuan roughly browsed through the contents of the resumes and sent them invitations for interviews.

Then she scanned the resumes of those with more than five years of work experience, compared them with Xu Xing's demand list, and sent an interview invitation to those with good resumes.

Anyway, they are a small company and the number of resume submissions they receive is not large. If they can avoid missing one, they will not miss it.

With this idea in mind, Yao Yuanyuan soon saw a resume.

[Name: Xu Yi]

【Age: 45】

Work experience includes early positions at several mobile phone manufacturers and foreign companies, as well as job-hopping experience at many major domestic Internet companies. Currently working at a certain degree, I have development experience in more than a dozen projects.

Yao Yuanyuan was a little surprised to suddenly find such an uncle among the resumes of people in their 20s and 30s. She originally wanted to pass directly, but after looking at the full and substantial resume below, considering Xu Xing's need for second-category programmers,

Yao Yuanyuan still sent me an interview invitation.

At this time, Xu Xing, who was attending Min University, didn't know what kind of hole his company's dear financial director had dug for him.

…

[A Bin]: I would have to run for about four or five days to handle the company here.

During lunch, Xu Xing received a message from Li Zhibin.

[Yicao Yanyu]: It's okay, you're not in a hurry.

[A Bin]: Have you seen today’s sales? In the early hours of yesterday, Fruit Assassin was recommended on the cover.

[Yicai Yanyu]: I looked at it yesterday and I remember it was already 300,000?

[A Bin]: It has doubled today... a total of 600,000 copies.

As of the end of last month, Fruit Assassin had sold just over 210,000 copies, and within just two days of this month, nearly 400,000 copies had been sold.

Li Zhibin is becoming more and more numb to this data, and he can't imagine how much income they will have this month.

After all, 400,000 copies were made in less than two days. Then in one month, wouldn’t it be five to six million copies?!

How much does it cost to ride a horse?

Li Zhibin had to admit that he had previously said that Fruit Assassin could earn four million a month and tens of millions a year. Now, a few days later, it is completely outdated.

[Yi Li Yanyu]: To be clear, the users of Pineapple Phone only account for about one-third to half of the people in the United States, and our Android version has not yet been launched.

[A Bin]: I think I have to take back what I said before. You are making so much money as if you don’t have money. Even if you invest and lose everything, I won’t feel bad.

After all, the current sales volume of 600,000 copies has brought at least a profit of at least 6 million to their company.

If five or six million copies are sold in a month, wouldn't that mean a direct monthly income of fifty to sixty million?

You know, theirs is not a large-scale AAA game with huge investment costs, it is just a lightweight mobile game with a development team of less than five people and a game production cost of less than 20,000 yuan!

Even if we include the investment in subsequent publicity and advertising, it will only cost hundreds of thousands or two hundred thousand.

And what this leverages is a huge cash cow whose game profits can hit hundreds of millions of yuan!

To be honest, Li Zhibin has gradually adapted to Fruit Assassin's monthly income of one million in the past few days, and finally achieved balance and reconstruction of his inner world.

As a result, within two days of the beginning of this month, he was given another blow to the head, which made him feel dizzy.

If he hadn't been beaten every day during this period, Li Zhibin would have lost his balance and his mind would have gone blank.

[Yi Li Yan Yu]: Stay calm, young man, the money is not yours anyway. Doesn’t it make you feel better if you think about it this way?

[A Bin]: ...I don’t want to talk to you for the time being.
