Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

After Zhang Nong's incident came to an end, Xu Xing finally had a few days of peaceful campus life.

Except for the occasional need to take Yan Chijuan to the office on the subway when there are no classes to finish the domestic version of Fruit Assassin as soon as possible, there is nothing else.

However, there are many courses in the freshman year. Although some water courses can be skipped directly, Xu Xing is too embarrassed to lead other girls into trouble.

After much deliberation, she asked Yao Yuanyuan to buy two laptops. Xu Xing would use one for herself and give the other to Yan Chijuan so that she could work in the dormitory.

Although this kind of behavior is quite unsatisfactory, Yan Chiju refused it at first. However, Yan Chiju didn’t refuse because he didn’t want to work overtime, he was just embarrassed to take such expensive things that cost thousands of dollars.

In the end, it was Xu Xing who tried hard to explain that the laptop was not given to Yan Chijiu, but was an asset of the studio, and was now just given to her for use. It had no ownership rights, only temporary use rights.

Yan Chijuan reluctantly accepted it, and then happily worked overtime in the dormitory every night.

However, as long as they have time, the two of them will still take the subway to the office to work overtime together.

This is not because I want to squeeze into the subway with the other person, nor is it because I want to work in the same office with the other person. It is just because working in the dormitory is still inconvenient, and it is not convenient for them to communicate problems in time.

So if conditions permit, it is definitely better to be in the office.

On Friday, news came from Li Zhibin that Qunxing Investment Company had been registered.

The earliest established Qunxing Network Technology Company was a company specializing in the development of Internet products under the name of Xu Xing. Currently, it only has one Tianshu Studio, which owns the ownership of the game Fruit Assassin.

Qunxing Investment Company is a subsidiary jointly invested and held by Xu Xing personally and Qunxing Network Technology Company, specifically for external investment.

Currently, there are only three people working in the company: Xu Xing, Li Zhibin and Yao Yuanyuan. Xu Xing serves as the general manager of the investment company, Yao Yuanyuan remains the financial director, and Li Zhibin is assigned the position of deputy manager.

To put it simply, Li Zhibin is still an errand boy, because there are currently no other employees with a lower level than him, it’s just a title that looks glamorous.

[Abin]: Did you see the picture I sent you? The business card I made according to your request, as well as the suit and casual work shirt I just bought, are all ready as you said.

Xu Xing flipped through the photos sent by Li Zhibin and couldn't help but smile.

Especially when Li Zhibin puts on a suit, his face still looks a bit childish. Fortunately, his skin is dark enough and he looks pretty bluffing, otherwise he would just look like a pretty boy.

However, Xu Xing still replied.

[Yi Lian Yanyu]: I will allocate a few hundred yuan to you in the company's account. You can find a barber shop that specializes in men's hair and let them give you a haircut that looks relatively mature.

[A Bin]:...Do you think I'm naive?

[Yicai Yanyu]: Image is something you are born with and can only be improved by some acquired means.

[Yi Li Yanyu]: You have too much of a student vibe now. Even if you do everything I say, you still have to be prepared to be looked down upon.

[A Bin]: I didn’t think people would think highly of me...

[Yi Li Yan Yu]: Your mentality is wrong. I only say that others may look down on you because of your age and student spirit, but when we go out to talk about things, our tone and posture should not be too humble.

[Yicai Yanyu]: We are in the business of investing, and the rich ones are the boss, so you need to have some confidence.

[Yicai Yanyu]: Nowadays, the game Fruit Assassin alone has tens of millions in revenue every month. Don’t be like a little loser who only has a few thousand dollars in his hands.

[A Bin]: I have indeed only made a few thousand yuan from riding a horse, let alone tens of millions. I have never made tens of thousands of yuan since I was a child.

[Yicai Yanyu]: Then you will have plenty of opportunities in the future.

[Yicai Yanyu]: After you have sorted it out as I said, it’s time to test you.

[Yicai Yanyu]: I will give you a list, and you can find information one by one according to the list above.

[Yicao Yanyu]: Complete basic research on at least three companies every week. I will discuss it with you in the evening, and then on weekends you will go to find people to talk about investment.

【Abin】: No, so fast?

[A Bin]: I thought I would wait until you come over for National Day before starting.

【Abin】: Just let me talk alone?

[Yicai Yanyu]: What are you thinking about? How many days will it take for our National Day to pass? We can only focus on the most critical ones. Of course, you can handle the rest by yourself.

[Yicai Yanyu]: But I have no requirements on your performance, you just need to negotiate.

[Yi Li Yanyu]: You should come to negotiate with each company at least three times. During each negotiation, I will discuss the bottom line and goals with you in advance.

[Yicai Yanyu]: But I only have one request. I didn’t agree. No matter whether the negotiation goes smoothly or not, I don’t want to invest in any company.

Li Zhibin over there didn't reply for a long time, and it took several minutes before he responded belatedly.

[A Bin]: I understand, Lao Xu, thank you.

[A Bin]: Don’t worry, I won’t let you down.

[Yi Li Yanyu]: Just go ahead and do it. Anyway, I have all the details, and it doesn’t cost a lot to negotiate on your doorstep. It’s just like going on a date at public expense.

[A Bin]: ...I can tell, you are just afraid that I will feel uncomfortable, so you always do something inappropriate.

[A Bin]: Don’t worry, I’m quite calm now.

[A Bin]: You know, Lao Xu, I’m in school now. Every time I see my classmates fishing in class, playing basketball after class, or going to Internet cafes to hack, I feel like it’s such a waste.

[A Bin]: You assigned me tasks, and now I feel full of energy.

[A Bin]: To be honest, I was very excited when I was admitted to Beijing University. I felt that I was stable in this life.

[A Bin]: But after I got to know you more, and when I came to Beijing University, I felt that the future of my life was really at a loss, and I didn’t know what to do.

[A Bin]: Although I am still a little confused about the future, at least you have helped me light a direction.

[A Bin]: So don’t worry, I will definitely do a good job.

Seeing Li Zhibin say such a long series of words, Xu Xing also became a little silent.

To be honest, I pulled Li Zhibin in the first place out of a simple desire to save others, hoping that this old classmate could avoid the hat and car accident in his previous life.

But as Li Zhibin gradually understood and participated in Qunxing Company, Xu Xing had some new ideas in his mind.

Especially considering that Li Zhibin will go to Kyoto in the future, a place with no less opportunities than Shanghai.

After all, Xu Xing is very limited on his own, so it would be great if he could take care of the Shanghai market in the early stage.

But if you can place a chess piece in Kyoto in advance to form a linkage relationship between two points and one line, and rely on your own foresight to make arrangements in advance, it may be a very good choice.

But Xu Xing never thought that Li Zhibin could complete the transformation and sublimation of his life thinking in just half a month of military training.

Originally, he thought he would have to wait at least one year of college before he would feel better.

But it's not bad now.

Xu Xing touched his chin, thought for a moment, and then sent a document he had prepared for a long time.

[Yicai Yanyu]: Then keep this, the list of the three companies in the first week, and then it’s up to you.

【Abin】:Okay.

Li Zhibin replied briefly and then immediately started checking.

[Shangqingtian cloud: a company focused on providing ICT resources and management services to enterprise users.]

[Tengyun Data: A company focused on providing comprehensive data services for mobile Internet companies.]

[Ting Yunsheng: A company focusing on developing smart life and services based on AI artificial intelligence voice and Internet of Things artificial intelligence.]

Li Zhibin stared blankly at the names and introductions of these three companies and blinked.

Although he could understand every word above, why did these nouns and sentences feel so strange when put together?

And what is Xu Xing doing?

Why is this such a company that sounds so unreliable?

Just looking at the name makes me feel like I'm trying to get money.

As mentioned above, these vague technologies always feel like things that can only appear in science fiction novels.

But after he thought about it again, he felt relieved.

Xu Xing also said just now that he did not ask Li Zhibin to reach any substantial investment at all. He only asked him to research three companies every week and try to negotiate.

Li Zhibin knew very well that Xu Xing was completely exercising his abilities.

Otherwise, how could he name such three seemingly unremarkable companies?

Li Zhibin majored in financial management at university, and his knowledge of computers and the Internet basically only focused on games, and he knew very little about other things.

In 2012, when smartphones and 4G networks had not yet been fully rolled out, for a non-reborn person like Li Zhibin, if someone suddenly told him about cloud technology, big data, AI, etc., he would probably only be able to think of those things.

Descriptions and scenes from science fiction novels and movies.

To be honest, these three companies are not as reliable as the companies Xu Xing mentioned to him before.

Thinking of Daily Toutiao, Didi Dache, Zhihu and Kushou, they are all still within Li Zhibin’s understanding. The above three companies are really beyond Li Zhibin’s knowledge reserve framework.

[A Bin]: By the way, if the conditions negotiated by these companies are good, you won’t really plan to invest, right?

[Yicao Yanyu]: Why do you care so much?

[Yicao Yanyu]: Even if you really want to invest, it will be next month.

[Yi Li Yanyu]: There are only more than 2 million in the studio's account now, and I can use them all. The investment will be discussed after the National Day holiday, and I will talk about it when I come to Kyoto.

[A Bin]: Okay, then I will collect information first.

[Yicao Yanyu]: Don’t forget to do your hair.

【Abin】: Got it!

Xu Xing smiled, then suddenly remembered something, so he asked.

【一蓓雨】: By the way, is there any place in Kyoto suitable for a date?

【Abin】:???

…

Another wonderful weekend.

Early on Saturday morning, Xu Xing had already gotten up and washed up.

The one who got up at the same time was Zhang Nong.

"Isn't your tutor in the afternoon?" Xu Xing and Zhang Nong were brushing their teeth and washing their faces in the toilet, and while they were twisting the towels, Xu Xing asked him casually.

"I applied to work as a supermarket cashier on weekend mornings, and it cost 20 yuan an hour. From 8 to 11 a.m., I could earn 60 yuan." Zhang Nongzhen said, "I will deliver food at noon, tutor in the afternoon, and deliver food in the evening.

You can get 20 yuan from taking out food, going to the library to study in the evening, and staying to sort out the books after the library closes."

Xu Xing: "...Do you want them all?"

Zhang Nong laughed happily: "How fulfilling is this? I never thought that the school could provide so many part-time jobs."

After washing his face, Xu Xing silently looked at Zhang Nong in the mirror and sighed softly: "Pay attention to your health."

"It's okay, Brother Xu, don't worry." Zhang Nong shook his head.

Xu Xing didn't say anything more, turned around and left the toilet, but before packing his things and going out, he turned back and said to Zhang Nong who was washing his face: "How about I give you a suggestion?"

"Ah?" Zhang Nong was stunned for a moment, the towel for washing his face stopped in mid-air, and he turned to look at Xu Xing in confusion.

"When delivering food, you can pay more attention to the daily customer flow and record it. Then, if you encounter delivery people from other stores when delivering food, you can also ask them about the market conditions in their stores."

"Why are you asking this?" Zhang Nong looked strange, a little confused by Xu Xing's suggestion.

"I'm not sure yet." Xu Xing smiled, "But if you can keep these records, maybe I can make you more money."

"Really?" Zhang Nong immediately became interested when he heard that he could make more money.

"There's no need for me to lie to you at this time, right?"

"Okay." Zhang Nong thought of Xu Xing's behavior during this period, so he nodded seriously, "Then I'll pay attention."

"OK." Xu Xing raised his fist towards him, "Come on!"

Zhang Nong smiled and raised his fist: "Come on!"

…

After walking out of the dormitory building, Xu Xing saw Yan Chiju at the door of the boys' dormitory.

After agreeing to go to the studio together last night, Yan Chijuan started looking forward to it when she was lying on the bed sleeping. She got up early this morning and put on the clothes Xu Xing gave her. Before seven o'clock, they were there.

Already waiting here.

There weren't many people there on weekend mornings, but the few boys who went out couldn't help but take a second look at the girl waiting at the door when they came out of the dormitory building.

A sexy white sling on the upper body outlines the attractive breast shape, and is half-covered by a beige sweater jacket.

The lower body is wearing a denim skirt, the length is just above the knees, revealing a pair of white and delicate calves, with a pair of small white shoes at the feet, and the delicate white ankles look more delicious than little puddings.

Such a girl standing guard in front of the dormitory building naturally attracts the attention of everyone passing by.

As soon as Xu Xing walked out, she could see Yanchi vinegar under the shade of the tree. The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves and cast golden spots on her body and face, which further revealed her pure and beautiful temperament.

"Let's go."

Xu Xingxing stepped forward and raised his hand to greet Yan Chijuan. When he passed by Yan Chijuan, he reached out and touched Yan Chijuan's head.

Although he just rubbed his hair lightly and then loosened it, Yan Chijue was still stunned on the spot, blinked and looked at Xu Xing's back, and subconsciously touched his head.

After she realized what had happened, she paused and her cheeks turned slightly red, looking delicate and cute in the sun.

"Why are you dazed?" Xu Xing turned around and said with a smile.

"I'm coming!"

Yan Chijuan came back to his senses and quickly followed Xu Xing's pace, walking obediently beside him.

She walked forward in small steps, and sometimes because Xu Xing took very long steps, she had to take small steps to catch up.

At this time, Xu Xing would slow down interestingly, so Xu Xing took two steps, and Yan Chijuan could keep up with him by taking only three steps.

Every time he discovered this detail, and thought of Xu Xing's little gesture of touching her hair before, Yan Chi jealously lowered his head secretly, pursed his lips and smiled sweetly.

"Let's buy an electric car next time." Xu Xing looked at the electric cars passing by and felt that it was a bit inconvenient to walk like this every time.

He and Yan Chijuan were very busy during this period. They had previously said that they wanted to learn a driver's license and buy a new car, but now it seems that it won't be possible in a short time, so they might as well buy an electric car first.

Yan Chiju, who was standing by, saw two boys passing by on an electric car, one behind the other. The boy behind was forced to cling to the back of the boy in front. An envious expression suddenly appeared on her face.

If you buy a car, you have to drive it yourself, and you can't post stickers on the subway with your boss.

But if you buy an electric bike, wouldn’t it mean that you can start from school and ride all the way to the studio, and then you can chat with your boss?

"Okay." Thinking of this, Yan Chiju nodded repeatedly in agreement with the proposal.

"Then when the time comes to go to the studio, you sit in front and ride the electric bike, and I sit in the back."

"Ah?" When Yan Chijuan thought about sitting in front and being pressed so tightly by Xu Xing from behind, even hugging her with both hands and pressing them against her belly, her body suddenly felt numb and warm.

"Well... I haven't driven an electric car before... I don't know if it's possible..."

Even if it's okay when driving alone, once Xu Xing sits in the back seat, he will probably collapse immediately and he won't even be able to hold the handlebars firmly, right?

"Can you ride a bicycle?"

"I know a little……"

"That's ok."

"...But why doesn't the boss ride?"

"Have you ever seen a boss driving his employees to work?"

Yan Chijiu choked for a moment: "Well..."

While Xu Xing was bullying Yan Chiju, he had already arrived at the subway.

After the two got on the subway, the crowd immediately forced them to squeeze together.

Xu Xing naturally put his arms around Yan Chijuan's slender waist, blocking the surrounding crowd from his arms.

As the day went by, his hold on Yan Chijuan's hand gradually changed from a weak support at the beginning to a close hug like this now.

But the two of them looked like they were used to it, silently enjoying the rare moment of listening to each other's heartbeat and breathing.

But such time is always short-lived. Ten minutes later, the subway arrived at the station, and the two of them got off the subway and walked all the way to the studio.

Yao Yuanyuan is already here, and in addition, there are two new employees she personally recruited.

One is Song Huiyue, a female accountant in the finance office, and the other is Peng Yuxuan, a male employee who is administrative and secretary.

Don't ask why the secretary is a man, anyway, he was specially selected by Yao Yuanyuan.

"Here?" Yao Yuanyuan saw these two people walking in and immediately waved to Peng Yuxuan, "This is Xiao Peng. The resumes of the 37 programmers interviewed today are all with him. The interviews will start at eight o'clock in the morning.

You can ask him any questions you have."

"Okay." Xu Xing nodded towards Peng Yuxuan, and first took Yan Chijie to a desk in the public area to sit down, "The office will hold interviews later, so you can work here first and try to win this day.

Get the domestic version and enter the testing phase as soon as possible.”

"Yeah." Yan Chijiu nodded vigorously to express understanding. He had no intention of staying with Xu Xing. After sitting down obediently, he was ready to get into work.

Xu Xing took Peng Yuxuan into the office, and Peng Yuxuan, who was following behind, asked seriously: "Mr. Xu, do you need me to help you sort out the basic information of today's interviewees?"

"Don't go to such trouble, there's only half an hour left." Xu Xing sat behind the desk and turned on the computer and said, "You can sit at the table by the door and sign in first when people come."

"Arrange resumes according to the order of sign-in, and put the arranged resumes over to me."

"Wait until eight o'clock. The interview will start as soon as the time is up."

Peng Yuxuan nodded clearly: "Okay, Mr. Xu."
