Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

The temptation thrown by Xu Xing during dinner made Xu Yi fall into entanglement and long silence.

You know, when he was young, he used to earn tens of thousands of dollars a month.

It wasn't until these years that I couldn't keep up with the progress of young people that I finally settled into a management position that was either up or down, with a salary of more than 10,000 yuan a month, and I was preparing for retirement.

But now, Xu Xing is willing to pay several times the price to poach his uncle so that he can free up time to go to college. How could Xu Yi not be tempted?

After all, the money you earn from your nephew is money. This brat earns tens of millions a month now. Xu Yi really doesn't feel sorry for his salary.

But no matter what, it felt weird to have him work for his nephew.

But if it was just this, Xu Yi could actually accept it. After all, working for his nephew also showed how powerful this young man Xu Xing was. It was a wonderful thing that he could protect him.

Xu Yi sat back down and started eating, and he really started to think seriously about resigning and changing jobs.

"What do you mean, let me resign and come over to help you control the general direction of game development?" Xu Yi chewed the rice in his mouth, but couldn't taste anything. He was thinking about this matter.

"Absolutely." The strategic plan in Xu Xing's mind actually goes far beyond the gaming field, but it's better not to act too shocking at the moment, so he just nodded and said, "The general direction of the company is under my control, such as this job

Game planning, there are several similar ideas, all in preparation."

"To be honest, the company's funds now can fully develop several projects simultaneously."

"But firstly, new employees still need to get used to each other. Secondly, I can't come to the company every day to control the progress. It's hard to be distracted by several projects."

"So if you, uncle, can come over and help me, then I can be completely freed from the project management. I only need to control the general direction occasionally."

Xu Yi took a deep breath, lowered his head and took a big mouthful of rice, and said in a mocking voice: "Eat first, and then we can have a good chat after eating."

…

After dinner, we chatted all night long.

Xu Yi didn't even go home. He and Xu Xing stayed in the office, seemingly forgetting the passage of time. The uncle and nephew were like two tireless robots, starting at six o'clock in the evening and continuing until late at night and early in the morning.

The office lights are always on.

The discussion between the two was not smooth sailing. Even when the conversation got heated, loud arguments and heated debates would be heard in the office.

At the beginning, Xu Xing only chatted with Xu Yi about the game.

But while we were chatting, I didn’t catch any of it, and accidentally pulled out part of the plans in other areas.

This was so good that Xu Yi was confused for several times. It took him a whole night to digest it, and then he was slowly convinced by Xu Xing's bold idea during discussions and arguments with Xu Xing.

To put it bluntly, the way he looks at Xu Xing now is not much different from the way he looks at a freak.

It was really hard for him to imagine how a game company owner who had just started with the game Fruit Assassin could think of so many steps in advance.

Although some of the planning contents may seem fanciful, they are indeed not unworkable.

But from Xu Yi's perspective, this is undoubtedly a thrilling leap forward to rise.

If it succeeds, it will naturally be admired and worshiped by thousands of people, but if it fails, the company will probably fail.

During the discussion, Xu Yi tried to persuade him more than once, hoping that Xu Xing could just take it easy. Anyway, you will never make enough money. After making money, wouldn't it be better to live a good life?

But Xu Xing's words woke him up.

"Uncle, if you follow my path, even if you fail halfway, it will just be the fate of being split and acquired. I, the boss, will definitely not be short of money. If you want to enjoy your small life, it will not be too late to enjoy it then.

.”

So Xu Yi was finally convinced.

But he also gave his own advice.

"I could resign to help you, but now is not the time."

"Um?"

"If you want to support your territory, it's not enough to just poach me."

"Ah? Uncle, what are you doing?"

"In recent years, the three major BAT companies and other major companies have been frantically recruiting talents on the market, but in fact, the internal supply of talents exceeds demand most of the time." Xu Yi's eyes flashed strangely under the light, which was very eye-catching.

It’s hard to fathom, “As long as we can use high salaries to bind most of the talents on the market, it will almost cut off the source of the rise of small companies and challenge them.”

"But this will also lead to redundant personnel within large companies. Many unappreciated people receive high salaries and benefits, but have no room to use their talents."

"Of course this is great for those who just want to make money to live a life, but there are always people who want to show their ambitions but can't find a way out."

"They are all very talented people."

Speaking of this, Xu Yi and Xu Xing looked at each other.

I have a new perspective on this matter.

"Uncle, are you okay? How many can you dig?"

"It depends on the situation. It's hard to say how many can be dug out."

…

Xu Xing didn't know what time he went to bed. He only knew that it was already early in the morning and he couldn't go back to school, so he and Xu Yi moved some chairs together and lay down on them to sleep.

I didn't know who it was, but it seemed like he walked in from outside the office. Then Xu Xing felt that there was an extra layer of quilt on his body. Under the blow of the cold air conditioner, he suddenly felt much warmer.

Then he felt that his head was touched by someone, and then his face was touched. However, Xu Xing was too sleepy and unconscious, half asleep and half awake, until he was woken up by a knock on the door in the morning.

, I have forgotten all the strange things I felt when I went to bed at night.

Winter winter winter!

"Are you awake?" Yao Yuanyuan's voice came from outside the office, "It's already seven o'clock. You told me before that there were things at school in the afternoon, so the art interviews were held in the morning. People will come at eight o'clock soon.

Now, don’t delay too much.”

After being woken up by Yao Yuanyuan, Xu Xing struggled to reach out from the quilt, stretched out on the bed made of four chairs, barely opened his eyes, and climbed up from the chair.

Xu Xing lowered his head and looked at the quilt on his body. He was still a little dazed, and could no longer remember that someone came in to deliver the quilt last night.

At this time, Xu Yi also woke up on the bed made up of four chairs next to him. After sitting up, he looked down at the small blanket that could only cover his knees, and said with a smile: "Your employees are pretty good at taking care of people?

Are you still here delivering blankets in the middle of the night?"

"Uh... not bad, not bad." Xu Xing got out of bed, put on his shoes, folded his warm quilt silently, glanced at the small blanket in his uncle's hand, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

After thinking about it, the only person who could not forget to cover him up in the middle of the night was the little girl Yan Chijuan.

"It's getting late. I'll go back to the company first. Then I'll make a list for you. Let's blast it accurately."

Xu Yi recalled the candle-lit night talk with Xu Xing last night. Even after a night, he could feel the blood burning in his 45-year-old chest.

He patted Xu Xing's shoulder and said with a smile: "You have a lot of potential. I was really frightened by you yesterday. If people outside know your identity and age, you will probably be praised to the sky by the media."

"It's better for us to keep a low profile now." Xu Xing coughed twice modestly, "In the early stage, I'd better try not to speak in public, otherwise I won't be able to settle down in college."

"If I hadn't hugged you when you were born, I would have doubted whether your brother was the child of my brother." Xu Yi rubbed his head and looked at such a mature and steady side of this boy, always feeling it was too magical.

This mentality is simply more stable and cautious than that of a middle-aged man like him.

If you think about it from his perspective, even if a person of his age suddenly makes a game with a monthly income of tens of millions, it is impossible for him to deal with it indifferently like Xu Xing and plan the next development route in an orderly manner.

Thinking about it this way, his nephew is really a bit of a monster.

"Uncle, don't say nonsense, or else my dad will beat you up."

"Pretend I didn't say anything." Xu Yi spread his hands, then packed up his things and said, "Then I'll go back? I'll go and help you find a suitable candidate first."

"Hey, wait a minute." Just now Yao Yuanyuan said that she was going to be interviewing artists in the morning. When Xu Xing remembered that his sister from home was also there, Xu Yi's eyes suddenly became strange and he quickly put his arm around his uncle's shoulders, "Don't worry, uncle, let's go together first.

Let’s have breakfast and give me a quick look during the interview later. You’ve done projects in the field of art, so you’re more familiar with me than I am.”

Before, he was thinking about what he should do to suppress his sister when Xu Niannian was interviewed at the studio, so that Xu Niannian would not have an unbalanced mentality due to excessive social media during the interview, so that he could keep the interviewer's trust.

face.

Looking at it now, isn’t this good?

Your biological father is here, so there is no way he can bully someone in front of your father, right?

Xu Xing suddenly felt that he was really a genius, so he quickly grabbed Xu Yi and had breakfast with him.

Breakfast was bought by Yan Chi vinegar, including soy milk, fried dough sticks, sesame cakes and a basket of steamed dumplings. The two of them had a simple meal. After Xu Yi agreed to help him with the interview, he went back to the office and squinted for a while.

Xu Xing walked around to the seat where Yan Chijuan was working and asked, "Did you give me the quilt last night?"

"Hmm..." When Yan Chijuan heard this, he immediately avoided Xu Xing's eyes with a guilty conscience, as if he were a thief, but he still explained, "The house rented by Sister Yuanyuan is nearby, so I will

I went to her and asked for quilts and blankets, but they were all new and unused."

"Oh, that's right." Xu Xing nodded, "Then where did you sleep last night?"

"I went to sleep at Sister Yuanyuan's place."

"Didn't your roommate ask?"

"Well..." Thinking of being called by his roommate yesterday, asking if he went out with Xu Xing to rent a room secretly, Yan Chi blushed fiercely, "I said I went to my sister's house, and Sister Yuanyuan is there."

Xu Xing nodded clearly and didn't ask any more questions.

He did know that Yao Yuanyuan was renting a house nearby.

After all, it is not convenient to run here from the Internet cafe to work all day long. It is better to find a house nearby, which will be more convenient for commuting to and from get off work.

Moreover, her parents divorced when she was young, so Yao Yuanyuan grew up with Pei Qinglan.

Pei Qinglan, the big boss of an investment company, has to fly back and forth at home and abroad every month, and only rarely stays at home.

Therefore, Yao Yuanyuan has no intention of going home. He might as well live nearby. If he gets lonely, he can ask Yan Chijuan to come and stay for a day to relieve his boredom.

"How is the development progress of the domestic version?" Without thinking about the above matter, Xu Xing glanced at the computer screen and asked again.

"The finishing touches can be completed this morning." Yan Chijue said seriously, "We can start testing in the afternoon."

"There is no rush for the test." Xu Xing shook his head and said, "We will finish the work in the morning. You can go back to school with me in the afternoon. We have a new task."

"Ah?" Yan Chijiu asked curiously, "What's the new mission?"

Xu Xing enjoyed Yan Chijiu's cute look with her face raised and blinking at him. He couldn't help but touched her head and said, "There is a very good investment target. I plan to go and see if I can pick it up."

.”

Yan Chijiu blinked and avoided Xu Xing's sight, silently enjoying Xu Xing's comfort, but in his heart he still wanted to do his job well: "Then why should I go along? In fact, I can do the game testing work alone.

.”

"Investment is also a technical job, and I can't do it alone." Xu Xing shook his head, "I don't plan to have direct contact with the other party so soon. I need to pull it off a little bit."

Although it would have been okay to have his secretary Peng Yuxuan or Yao Yuanyuan follow him in this regard, but Peng Yuxuan is a boy and not a two-thorned ape, and Yao Yuanyuan is too strong. On the contrary, a character like Yan Chijuan is more suitable to replace Xu Xing for the first trial.

Of course, Xu Xing did not deny that he wanted to spend more time with Yan Chijuan.

Thinking of this, Xu Xing pretended to mention it unintentionally: "I'm going to Kyoto on a business trip for a few days during the National Day. Xiao Peng has to stay here to help the company handle daily affairs. If you don't mind, you can come with me then."

Let’s go.”

"Ah?" When Yan Chijuan heard that he was going to Kyoto with Xu Xing, he was stunned for a moment, and soon his ears turned red, and he asked in a low voice, "Just the two of us?"

"Don't worry." Xu Xing rubbed her soft short hair vigorously, then let go and said, "Yao Yuanyuan will also follow. We will go to Kyoto to find that guy Li Zhibin. There is also business to be handled there. You just need to replace Xiao Peng for me.

The little secretary."

Little, little secretary...

Yan Chijuan's face suddenly became rosy, he blinked his eyes and lowered his head, staring at the toes of the two of them, feeling an inexplicable sense of excitement in his heart.

"I, I know..." Yan Chijiu responded in a low voice, his mind already filled with imagining all kinds of scenes after going to Kyoto.

After giving a series of instructions, Xu Xing stretched out and saw that it was almost eight o'clock for the interview. He said hello to Yan Chijuan and then turned around and returned to the office.

"Mr. Xu, do you need me to briefly outline the information about the people being interviewed today?" Peng Yuxuan held a stack of resumes of the artists who came to interview today, knocked on the door and came in, and asked Xu Xing in the room.

"Haha." Xu Xing laughed twice, glanced secretly at Xu Yi next to him, waved his hand and said, "No, just the process is the same as yesterday."

"Okay, Mr. Xu." Peng Yuxuan nodded, then turned around and went out to arrange sign-ins and sorting for the interviewers who had already arrived.

"Come on, come on, uncle, please sit over here." Xu Xing stood up from his boss chair and pulled Xu Yi to sit on the front seat, while he moved the chair to sit on the deputy seat, "I have no contact with the art field.

Duo, uncle, you know a lot, help me check it, I will be there to help you later."

"You kid." Xu Yi sat down speechless, "I haven't even come to your company yet, and you're already bossing me around?"

"How can you call me a messenger?" Xu Xing chuckled, "When uncle joins the company in the future, you will have to control the project management. Wouldn't it be good to get to know the future team members in advance?"

"Okay, okay, don't talk too much about you. I probably won't be here for a while." Xu Yi still had to think of ways to poach Xu Xing. The new game project was definitely not his turn to be responsible for, but

He still asked, "Has the number of artists been determined? How many will be hired?"

"Three or four," Xu Xing said, "The two artists in our team were outsourced before, but they are here today, and they are considered informal appointments. There are at most three places left, and the total of five artists cannot be more.

"

"But it's best to limit it to three. Unless there are a few particularly outstanding ones, you can increase the number as appropriate."

"Then out of the dozen or so people you interviewed, you only hired one?" Xu Yi was a little speechless, "There are still reserved places? Can't you just recruit them directly?"

"The process still needs to go through." Xu Xing coughed twice, not embarrassed to explain the real situation to Xu Yi in advance.

Otherwise, he was afraid that Xu Yi would just run away.

After all, when father and daughter met, it was very likely that they would work together as wage earners under their nephew/brother in the future. Xu Xing felt embarrassed for both of them just thinking about it.

At this time, Xu Yi was completely unaware and even enjoyed the feeling of this kind of interview.

think about it.

Yesterday, this game company, in his eyes, had developed into a company with great potential to earn tens of millions of dollars a month, and he was still an ordinary candidate for an interview.

Although he had no intention of resigning and changing jobs, he simply came to learn more about the company.

But in the final analysis, you are still inferior to others in terms of mentality.

But in just one night, not only did I no longer need to be interviewed, but I also sat directly in the interviewer's seat.

With this change of status, let’s just say it’s awesome or not, right?

To be honest, the more Xu Yi thinks about this, the more he feels that Xu Xing is evil.

Now, just thinking that he could join such a company as the second-in-command makes him feel a little dizzy. Although his mind can suppress this mentality, his heart will definitely still have some ups and downs.

But this guy Xu Xing, even if he succeeded in showing off in front of his uncle, he still maintained his rationality and could not see the nouveau riche mentality of getting away with it after making tens of millions in games.

This was the fundamental reason that made Xu Yi really determined to help his nephew.

The core that can keep a company on the right track and develop steadily is always its people.

Just like when many investment companies invest in projects, in addition to looking at the future prospects of the project itself, they also look more at the abilities and qualifications of the founders themselves.

Otherwise, there are various founders looking for financing for the same projects every day, so why would investment companies choose your project?

So many times, choosing the right person is often half the battle.

Xu Yi knows this truth very well.

"Mr. Xu, it's eight o'clock." Peng Yuxuan pushed the door in and handed the resumes of the eight interviewees who were already present to Xu Xing and Xu Yi. "The resumes have been put in order. If possible, I will call the first

Someone came in?"

Xu Xing glanced at Xu Yi and saw Xu Yi nodded, so he said, "Call in."

…

At eight o'clock in the morning, the interview started on time.

In Min University, not far away, Xu Niannian was sitting in front of the desk mirror, putting on makeup, then picked out a decent women's suit from the closet and put it on for herself.

Wearing a crisp suit, neat trousers, a pair of long white socks, and a pair of black flat shoes, Xu Niannian tied up her long hair high and instantly transformed into a charming white-collar worker.

Yu Youjia on the other side is also dressed in a similar manner. Although her face is not as delicate and beautiful as Xu Niannian's, and her legs are not as slender and attractive as Xu Niannian's, at least in terms of the curvature of the suit, she is still clearly superior.

"We're almost ready, let's go." Yu Youjia looked at the time and said, "It takes about twenty minutes by subway. We'll be there at nine o'clock. If we have to queue up, we should be able to finish the interview by ten o'clock.

Afterwards, go shopping in the nearby commercial street and have lunch?"

"Okay." Xu Niannian completely agreed with this process arrangement. He took Yu Youjia's arm with satisfaction and asked as he walked, "What about your brother Zhou Jing? Why don't you come to the car to pick him up?"

"He has just joined the law firm as an intern and is much busier than us." Yu Youjia said with a smile.

"Isn't his law firm opened by his father?"

"His father is just one of the partners, but his father takes the position of director." Yu Youjia explained, "His father is quite strict. It is said that his internship workload is more than that of ordinary trainee lawyers.

.”

"It's so miserable." Xu Niannian clicked his tongue twice and said with a smile, "Fortunately, my dad is not my boss, otherwise I would feel like I would be crazy. I have to be managed by the same person at home and in the company. This

It’s too scary.”

"But he's progressing very quickly." Yu Youjia covered her mouth and chuckled. "Although his father is strict, he is also deliberately training him by feeding him so many eucalyptus. Others don't want this kind of treatment."

"Okay, okay, stop talking bad about your boyfriend." Xu Niannian waved his hands, indicating that he couldn't speak against her.

"Then talk ill of your brother?" Yu Youjia tilted her head and smiled.

"Ha! What's there to say about him?" Xu Niannian snorted, waved his hand and said, "When my sister makes a lot of money, I will take care of him in the future!"

Since sharing his secrets that he had kept deep in his heart for many years with Yu Youjia, the relationship between the two has become closer, and Xu Niannian has become more and more open-minded in front of Yu Youjia.

"Oh, if you can be half as brave as you are now in front of Xu Xing, I think it will be very interesting." Yu Youjia shook his head and sighed, "You'd better find a way to show off your cards with him as soon as possible, otherwise the longer you delay, the more likely he will be.

I only regard you as my sister. If you can’t adjust this concept, how can you win over other girls?”

Xu Niannian's face was a little gloomy after being told this, but he quickly cheered up, holding Yu Youjia's arm and walking quickly towards the subway station: "Why are you talking about this? I will naturally tell you when the time comes."

Yu Youjia glanced at the silly girl helplessly, not knowing what to say.

…

9:50 am.

After Xu Yi and Xu Xing finished interviewing the 14th applicant, Peng Yuxuan walked in and handed them the resumes of the last four remaining applicants: "These are the last four today."

"Well, okay." After the interview for almost two hours, Xu Yi had basically adapted to it. He raised his hand and said, "Call the next one to come in."

"Okay." Peng Yuxuan nodded in agreement. After walking out of the office, he said to the remaining four people in line, "Who is Yu Youjia? It's your turn."

"Here we come." Yu Youjia, who was wearing a suit, stood up from her chair and waved to Xu Niannian beside her. Xu Niannian gave her a fist to encourage her, and she smiled back, "I'll go and give it to you first.

Explore the way."

After saying that, Yu Youjia came to the door of the office, knocked politely, and after hearing a "please come in", she pushed the door open and entered.

At first, she naturally laid her eyes on Xu Yi, who was sitting in the front seat. After seeing Xu Yi's face clearly, she nodded with a smile and walked slowly towards the center of the office.

But when she had just walked halfway, her eyes moved to the other interviewer aside, and when her eyes fell on the other interviewer's face, the reserved and decent smile on Yu Youjia's face suddenly froze for a moment.

Xu Xing?!

Why is Xu Niannian and her brother here?

Yu Youjia paused for a moment, blinked her eyes, and almost thought she had entered the wrong room.
