Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

Starting from Kaiyue Hotel near Kyoto University, it takes about forty minutes to take the subway to Tiananmen Square.

Originally, the two of them thought that the subway in Shanghai was already crowded enough, and that even if it was crowded in Kyoto, it wouldn't be too exaggerated.

But when I arrived at the waiting area of ​​the subway station, I couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Not to mention how long the queue for the subway was, just talking about the oncoming subway and looking at the canned human flesh on it, Xu Xing and Yan Chijuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Should we call Li Zhibin?" Xu Xing rubbed his chin and thought, "He has learned a driver's license before. We can let him rent a car and be our driver."

"But I heard that the traffic in Kyoto is also very congested." Yan Chijuan also felt a little unwilling to have a third person join in, so he whispered.

"Well..." Xu Xing looked helpless. He originally fantasized about a leisurely trip, but his fantasy was shattered as soon as he entered the subway.

There is no other way. When traveling to a big city, you have to be mentally prepared for various situations.

Especially since it is the National Day, there will be even more people going to Tiananmen Square.

Fortunately, today is already October 3rd. If it had been the 1st, they probably wouldn't even be able to see the national flag on Tiananmen Square, and they would have to be squeezed out by the crowd and unable to go anywhere.

A few minutes later, the two of them finally squeezed onto the subway.

When there are many people around, the only advantage for the two of them is that they can hug each other without too much scruples.

After all, too many people are harmful. If you don't hold on tighter and the crowd moves a little, the two people may be squeezed apart.

Xu Xing put his arms around Yan Chijuan's slender waist and held the handrail above him with his other hand. Yan Chijuan clung to Xu Xing's arms, putting his hands on his waist. As the subway continued to advance, his two small hands

Unconsciously, she hugged his waist.

Feeling the tenderness at this moment, the two of them unexpectedly came up with the idea that it would be okay even if they hugged each other like this on the subway all morning.

When you have someone you like riding the subway with you, no matter how difficult the time is, it will become sweet.

The two hugged each other and chatted from time to time, but most of the time they were quiet and silent.

Yan Chijiu leaned against Xu Xing's chest and listened to the beating of his heart.

Xu Xingze lowered his head, resting his chin on Yan Chijuan's head, smelling the fragrance of her hair.

From the perspective of others, this couple is no different from a normal couple.

The subway ride of dozens of minutes is long but short.

When the two of them came to their senses, they had arrived at the subway station near Tiananmen Square.

After following the crowds outside, the two of them returned to the street and finally found a way to relax and breathe.

Walking all the way towards Tiananmen, after a while, I saw the outline of Tiananmen Tower in the distance.

After getting closer, Xu Xing and Yan Chijuan could already clearly see the appearance of the great man in the center.

Xu Xing pulled her to stop where she was. After stopping for a while, he suddenly said with emotion: "Sometimes I think that I might be a little too greedy."

"Huh?" Yan Chijue was a little confused. He looked away from the Tiananmen Tower in front of him and turned to look at Xu Xing's side face, "What's wrong, boss?"

"Jiang Jian, if you have two choices in front of you, no matter which one you choose, the ending will be happy and happy, but if you choose both, you will take a lot of risks." Xu Xing thought to himself.

Regarding investing in two days, I couldn’t help but ask, “What would you choose?”

"Well..." Yan Chijiu tilted his head and thought carefully, "Why would there be risks if you want them all?"

"Human energy is always limited." Xu Xing looked at the grand scene in the distance and said, "And what I face now is not just two choices, but countless tempting choices. Behind each choice is a path.

It's the right path, but I don't have the energy and ability to grasp it all."

"Then just choose the one you like best." Yan Chijue said innocently, "Since they are all correct, then choose the one you like, or the one that is relatively more correct."

"And boss, didn't we agree to go on a trip?"

"But while you were chatting, you went back to work."

After listening to Yan Chijiu's words, Xu Xing pulled his thoughts back and rubbed his face.

After he was reborn, when faced with the English college entrance examination, his only thought was to seize this opportunity to change his life and do a good job in the English test paper.

After he walked out of the examination room feeling relaxed, he saw Sun Wanhui outside the examination room who came to pick him up. Thinking of the situation at home in his previous life, he came up with the idea of ​​changing the fate of his family.

But now Sun Wanhui has started to do e-commerce, Xu Jian has also joined in to provide advice, and her parents' career is on track.

So Xu Xing turned his attention to his career again.

Make games, make WeChat, and seize the track in various fields.

In the past two days, I have signed a letter of intent for financing with those unicorn founders from the previous life, and a large amount of money is about to be spent.

Xu Xing took Yan Chijuan out for a day trip to Kyoto. After relaxing for a while, he felt a little confused.

If it is just to ensure that his family has enough food and clothing, he has actually met his goal now, right?

"Okay, my bad." Xu Xing shook his head and laughed, walking towards the national flag opposite the Tiananmen Gate Tower.

Yan Chijue followed him and comforted him in a low voice: "Actually, the boss is already very powerful. We are only freshmen now. How can other freshmen be like the boss?"

"I'm cheating."

"ah?"

"It's nothing." Xu Xing touched Yan Chijuan's head and felt the touch of the hair on his palm, feeling a little more relaxed.

He knew very well that although his own abilities were not bad, he could not compare with those people.

It’s okay to let him make a relatively simple game like Fruit Assassin’s Secret Escape. It’s also okay to make a software that imitates WeChat, takeout, and taxi apps.

But when it comes to specific promotion and operations, Xu Xing can only explore and try from the limited information in his previous life, and cannot truly strategize.

Just like promoting taxi-hailing software.

Most people only know about the money-burning war between Didi and Kuaidi.

But everyone knows the methods Didi relied on to break out of the siege in Kyoto.

For example, taxi companies sign contracts one by one to convince each other to allow drivers to download their software.

What would many drivers do if they didn’t have a smartphone?

What should I do if the driver thinks they are a liar?

How can I trick the driver into using their own software instead of someone else's?

Where will there be more taxis? How can we complete the promotion of a software in the short half-minute when taxis park in places with the largest taxi traffic, such as airports?

If you happened to meet with another taxi-hailing software promotion team, would you grab each other's driver resources, turn a blind eye to each other, or start a fight?

Other taxi-hailing software advertises on the radio station in the driver's car, so what method should we use to be more effective than the other taxi-hailing software?

If we want to capture other first-tier cities besides Kyoto, how many manpower will we allocate? If we encounter a local taxi-hailing software, how can we squeeze out the other party's market? What should we do in second- and third-tier cities?

There are so many problems that Xu Xing can think of alone, not to mention all kinds of trivial problems behind his back that make people's scalp numb.

But when these things appear on paper and in the news, they may just be the founder's blithe words "Our team has overcome various difficulties."

Therefore, it is far better to find the right people to do the right things than to do everything yourself.

Xu Xing took Yan Chijuan to the bottom of the national flag. When he raised his head, he could see the national flag fluttering in the wind.

Unfortunately, it was already past nine in the morning when they arrived, and the flag-raising ceremony in Tiananmen Square had already ended.

So the two of them looked at the national flag for a while, then walked in along with the crowd, and paid homage to the monument and memorial hall. By the time they walked out of Zhengyang Gate, it was already noon.

"What do you want to eat?"

Xu Xing looked at the various foods on the snack street and turned to look at Yan Chijuan.

"They all look delicious." Yan Chiju stood on tiptoes and looked at the surrounding snack bars. Pretending to be unintentional, he grabbed Xu Xing's wrist and walked towards a nearby meat bun shop.

Ten minutes later, the two of them had various snacks such as roujiamo, kebabs, croquettes, and fried chicken steaks in their hands.

Xu Xing didn't buy more, and basically only bought one for one person. Yan Chi was jealous and couldn't eat anymore, so he left it for him to eat.

Watching Xu Xing eat the meat buns that he had not finished, Yan Chiju blushed a little. When he thought of Xu Xing eating what he had eaten, his cheeks felt as hot as fire.

Do they look exactly like a couple now?

Boss, he actually... Yan Chijiu glanced at Xu Xing secretly, his heart was pounding, and he had a very bold idea.

Obviously we are already so close.

Then...can she try to pierce the last layer of window paper?

Thinking of this, Yan Chiju choked up accidentally and coughed several times, until Xu Xing next to her handed her a drink to her mouth, and she calmed down after taking a few sips.

"Just eat delicious food, don't think about it." Xu Xing smiled and said, "Where else do you want to go this afternoon?"

"I haven't seen the Great Hall and the museum next to Tiananmen yet," Yan Chijiu reminded, "I'm here now, so I definitely want to visit them all."

"Then I guess there's no need to go anywhere else today."

"It's okay, you can come back later."

"In the future." Xu Xing raised his head and glanced at the sky, "I will retire when I am thirty and visit the whole world."

"Okay, okay." Yan Chijue nodded repeatedly. The thought of traveling around the world with Xu Xing made him feel very romantic, "I'll go with you."

"Maybe you were still working for me at that time. How do you get there during work hours?" Xu Xing looked down at her and teased with a smile.

"Well, that person is your secretary. The secretary will go wherever the boss goes."

"Quite smart."

"hey-hey."

"My mouth is dirty." Xu Xing took out a tissue and wiped it carefully around Yan Chijiu's mouth, "Let's go to the museum after eating."

"Hmm..." Yan Chijiu couldn't speak as he pressed his lips. He could only nod slightly. He also took another clean tissue from Xu Xing's hand and raised his little hand to wipe Xu Xing's mouth.

When passers-by saw this scene, they all avoided to avoid being hit.

Tourists who were also lovers laughed and poked their partners, then pointed in the direction of Xu Xing and Yan Chijuan.

After feeling the gazes of the people around him, Yan Chijiu quickly retracted his little hand and lowered his head with a guilty conscience and a blush.

Xu Xing didn't care too much. He took the dirty paper towel from Yan Chijuan's hand and threw it into the paper bag containing snacks.

…

afternoon.

The two of them also visited the city hall and museum.

When I came out, I received a call from Yao Yuanyuan.

"Hello?"

"My flight here will be around 7pm, and I will fly to the Kyoto airport around 9pm." Yao Yuanyuan said, "I have brought a total of six people here, please remember to make arrangements."

"You go directly to Li Zhibin and ask him to pick you up at the airport later." Xu Xing said shamelessly, "How can you ask your boss to pick you up at the airport?"

"Here, listen to it." Yao Yuanyuan didn't know who she was talking to, and her voice was getting louder and softer.

Then Xu Xing heard a familiar voice on the other end: "Are you sure you don't want to come to pick up the plane?"

"Damn!" When Xu Xing heard Xu Niannian's voice, he was speechless and said, "Why are you here to join in the fun? You came to the capital to do serious business, okay?"

Hearing these words, Yan Chijuan, who was standing aside, felt a little guilty. He silently lowered his head and looked at the ground, pretending not to hear.

"It's the National Day holiday. I have nothing to do here. I bought the air ticket myself." Xu Niannian said proudly, "What's wrong? Employees are not allowed to travel during the holiday? If you don't pick up employees at the airport, why don't you

Picking up my sister from the airport?"

Xu Xing: "...you are awesome, right?"

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xing looked at Yan Chijuan, who also looked up at him.

"Sister Nian Nian is here too?"

"Yeah." Xu Xing put away his phone, "I have to pick up the plane in the evening, so let's go back to the hotel first."

Taking the subway again, after squeezing into the carriage, Yan Chiju hugged Xu Xing tighter.

Xu Xing looked at the time displayed on the carriage. It was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still four hours until nine o'clock in the evening.

Yan Chijuan followed Xu Xing's gaze and looked at the time, so she whispered: "Boss, why don't you find a place to go shopping? It's still early."

Xu Xing thought for a while, looked down at the girl in his arms, and already made up his mind, he decided not to go back to the hotel for the time being. He got off the subway with Yan Chijuan in the middle of the subway, and checked the Kyoto travel guide that Li Zhibin gave him.

Then we walked towards Haidian Park.

"Boss, where are we going?" Yan Chijiu asked curiously.

"Find a place to have dinner and then go to the park."

…

Haidian Park is the site of Changchun Garden, one of the three mountains and five gardens in Kyoto.

The address is not far from Kyoto University, so it didn't take much time to get there.

After having some dinner nearby, Xu Xing and Yan Chijuan came here together.

It can be regarded as the three mountains and five gardens of Kyoto. The scenery and layout are naturally elegant and quiet, and nature and humanities blend together.

But Yan Chijuan was actually not in the mood to think about this.

She thought that Yao Yuanyuan would bring someone over in the evening, and she was thinking about something. Her eyes kept glancing at Xu Xing beside her from time to time, and then secretly glanced at Xu Xing's palm.

She only felt a little hot and dry in her body at this moment. Even if it was autumn in Kyoto in October and the cool evening breeze blew, it could not extinguish her tension and anxiety at this moment.

Taking advantage of the gradually darkening sky, Yan Chijuan walked beside Xu Xing and pretended to appreciate the beautiful scenery in the park. As she walked through the pine forest and the lake, the back of her hand would touch the back of Xu Xing's hand from time to time, intentionally or unintentionally.

Every contact was like an electric shock.

Every time we separate, we feel reluctant to leave.

Yan Chijuan observed the expression on Xu Xing's face and wanted to muster up courage, but he flinched again and again.

It wasn't until Xu Xing stopped in front of the famous Wanquan Shuyu in the park that Yan Chijue suddenly woke up and quickly retracted the little hand that had just touched the back of Xu Xing's hand.

But the next second, Xu Xing's palm had already stretched out towards her, and completely grasped her naughty little hand into his palm.

"Hmm..." Yan Chijuan's heart trembled violently. He subconsciously raised his head to look at Xu Xing, then quickly lowered his head and did not dare to look at him. His small hand was wrapped in his warm big hand, and a numb feeling spread from the palm to the wrist.

And the arms, and then the body became a little soft.

But at this time, Xu Xing pulled her to stand in front of him and said softly: "Jianju, how about we discuss something with you?"

"Hmm...ah?" Yan Chijue still lowered his head, his head buzzing. He didn't expect that he was planning to take the initiative, but Xu Xing got the first step.

So...so...Xu Xing just wants to...

"I want to fire you."

Yanchi vinegar: "???"

Looking at Yan Chi Jiu who raised her head to look at him after brushing her face, Xu Xing couldn't help but laugh and pinched her cheek: "What's wrong? The boss said

You are talking."

"It's not...this...that..." Yan Chijue was a little incoherent for a moment, his face turned red and he felt like he was about to cry, "Boss, don't you want me anymore?"

"That depends on what aspect you are talking about."

"Which aspect does it mean?" Yan Chijiu asked pitifully, his head was confused, "Although I usually have to go to class, I also work very hard, why should you fire me?"

"Because I like you and I can no longer control my emotions." Xu Xing held her hand with his left hand and held her cheek with his right hand. He no longer concealed or deliberately avoided his emotions and said softly, "Jeousy, you

Will you be my girlfriend?"

Now, Yan Chijue became even more confused.

Happiness came so suddenly that she could not turn around.

The spring water on the side came out, just like her surprise and joy at the moment, it overflowed from her heart to her whole body, and she stood there stupidly. She didn't expect that Xu Xing had been ambiguous with her for so long, and suddenly it came.

A straight shot.

Xu Xing looked at her silly look and said patiently: "You are only a freshman now. It is better to study hard in school. It is quite tiring for you to run around every day."

"And after we get together, you are not suitable to stay in the company. There are still few people in the company now, so it may not have much impact. When it continues to expand, someone will always use your identity to get close to you or make other things.

.”

"Rather than causing unnecessary trouble then, it's better to have a good class at school first. I'll take care of your living expenses, so you don't have to worry about anything."

"When you graduate from college..."

"Boss." Just as Xu Xing was explaining this, Yan Chijuan slowly recovered from the surprise, suddenly interrupted Xu Xing's speech, bit his lip, and said with a stubborn expression, "I like you."

"I like you very much."

"But... I also like this job now."

"Although you gave me this job, at least I am using my own abilities to support myself."

At this point, Yan Chijiu actually choked up, and after holding it in for a while, he continued: "Didn't you ask me, boss, in the morning, if there are two choices that are correct, but if you choose both,

You will take certain risks.”

Yan Chijiu squeezed Xu Xing's palm tightly, and grabbed the corner of his clothes with the other hand, "I also want to be greedy, can I have them all?"

Seeing her like this, Xu Xing said helplessly: "Actually, you can wait until you graduate from college to get a job. By then, Tianshu Games will become bigger and the business will stabilize..."

"It's okay!" Yan Chijiu pursed his lips, then raised his face and said, "Then don't make our relationship public, so that others won't be able to gossip, and they won't know about the relationship between me and my boss.

, and I am also a member of the start-up team..."

Yan Chijuan was a little excited, and everything he said seemed a little incoherent.

But her meaning is still very clear: "Actually, the boss is just worried about the employees in the company. After knowing our relationship, he will try his best to get close to me and deliberately please me. This is not good for the company atmosphere or myself.

Good thing."

"I can figure this out."

"Then just don't tell them."

"You are still my boss in the company, and I will not mess around. When I return to renting an apartment and going back to school, I will be your girlfriend."

"I won't even tell Sister Yuanyuan! Not to my roommates, not to Sister Niannian, not to anyone, just the two of us, just keep it secret!"

Xu Xing: "..."

Frightened by Yan Chijie's excitement, Xu Xing was a little bit dumbfounded and quickly held her shoulders: "It's not that it's not that, there's no need to hide it like this."

"It doesn't matter. As long as I can be with you, what does it matter if others know?" Yan Chijie said seriously, holding back tears in the corners of his eyes, "I won't let love affect my work, boss, okay?

good?"

Xu Xing looked at Yan Chiju in front of him. He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt... I don't know how to describe it.

He didn't expect that Yan Chi Jiu would react so fiercely. He was obviously just asking her to give up her job temporarily, but she met with fierce opposition.

"You can't hide this kind of thing just because you want to." Xu Xingsha shook his head with a smile and touched her head, "Forget it, it's my fault. The company should just let nature take its course. There is no need to hide it deliberately.

"

At this time, he figured it out a little bit.

For him, maintaining Yanchi vinegar is not a difficult thing.

But for Yan Chijuan, who has no family to back her up, the only way to retain her self-esteem and face in front of Xu Xing is to have a serious job that earns her salary based on her own ability.

Otherwise, she can only become Xu Xing's vassal and have no other role except for falling in love.

Yan Chijuan might not be able to see this clearly, but her inner instinct still made her make this choice.

So much so that after Xu Xing himself gave up the choice of deliberately concealing or dismissing Yan Chijue, Yan Chijue became more insistent, shaking his head and taking half a step back, avoiding Xu Xing's hand touching his head.

Then, she worked hard to adjust her expression, pursed her lips, and then looked at Xu Xing with a polite smile: "Mr. Xu, hello, I am an employee of the Fruit Assassin project team of Tianshu Company, Yan Chi Jiu

.”

Xu Xing: "...are you serious?"

"Mr. Xu, what are you talking about?" Yan Chijuan asked with a confused expression, "Do you have any work problems?"

"Wait, wait..." Xu Xing covered his face and took two steps back. He couldn't adapt to Yan Chijue's sudden change. He smiled bitterly and said, "I was wrong, okay? Let's not do this."

"Does the boss agree?" Yan Chijiu took back his business-like employee face, bit his lips lightly, and asked Xu Xing, "I think I can still do it."

"It's just the two of us now, you should wait until you get back before saying this." Xu Xing shook his head and laughed, "Is it possible that you always talk to me like this in the company?"

"No way?"

"Even if you can bear it, I probably can't." Xu Xing took two more steps forward, opened his hands to hug her, "What if I want to hug you in the company?"

"Mr. Xu, please pay attention to your behavior and manners." Yan Chijue took two steps back and refused to hug him, and said with a serious face.

Seeing her like this, Xu Xing couldn't bear it anymore. He stretched out his hand to grab her arm and pulled her into his arms: "There's no one else around now. If you're jealous, can you change it back to me? I'll apologize to you, okay?"

good?"

"Ah!" Yan Chijuan was completely defeated this time. He was surrounded by Xu Xing's breath, and put his small hand on his chest, but still whispered without giving in, "Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu... don't do this...

"

Xu Xing listened to Yan Chijue in his arms talking like this, and the more he listened, the more uncomfortable he became.

Why does it feel more exciting...
