Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

October 6, 8 a.m.

Xu Xing and his party officially ended their trip to Kyoto and were preparing to take a flight back to Shanghai.

After coming out of the hotel's luxury suite, Xu Xing and Yan Chijuu stood at the door of the suite dragging their suitcases.

Yan Chijuan looked back into the room with a bit of reluctance in his eyes.

After all, it is a place that has witnessed the stage-by-stage process of two people from being ambiguous to achieving enlightenment. For the two of them, there are still some different meanings they are looking for.

"Let's go." Xu Xing patted her head very smoothly, "I don't know when I will come to Kyoto next time."

"Didn't you say that you will retire at the age of thirty?" Yan Chijie raised his face and said with a smile, "I will travel around the world with you, Mr. Xu."

"If you call me Mr. Xu in private, I'll pinch you." Xu Xing pinched her pink face with his right hand and said fiercely, "If I had known, I wouldn't have told you anything about my resignation.

Now it seems like there are unwritten rules in the office."

"Ah~" Yan Chijue's little mouth opened slightly as he was pinched, and he held Xu Xing's big hand with his two small hands. He seemed to like this role model more and more, and he felt a little addicted, "Mr. Xu, what did I do wrong?

?”

"Yan Chiju, you are hopeless." Xu Xing let go of his hand with a sad look on his face and dragged his suitcase towards the elevator.

The Yanchi vinegar before was so cute, she would lower her head in shyness even if she was teased a little bit.

After confirming the relationship, she turned into a mischievous little secretary who likes to pretend to be innocent.

I don’t know where you learned the moves, or are these skills self-taught by girls?

However, after these two days together, it is true that Yan Chijiu's personality has become a lot more cheerful in private.

It's this cheerful direction that's a bit strange.

When the two entered the elevator, their hands were held together unconsciously.

Until the elevator descended from the 29th floor to the 20th floor, it suddenly stopped.

When he saw this floor, Yan Chijuan immediately retracted his hand and took half a step to the side.

The next second, the elevator door opened, and outside were Xu Niannian, Yao Yuanyuan and others.

A group of seven or eight people squeezed in, and the elevator suddenly became crowded.

Xu Xing retreated all the way to a position against the elevator wall. On his right was Yan Chijuan and on his left was Xu Niannian.

"Oh, I have to be busy after I get back." Yao Yuanyuan stretched out in the elevator, "The National Day holiday will be the same as nothing else."

"It's a slap in the face if you complain about this in front of the boss." Xu Xing continued, taking advantage of the people in front of him to face the elevator door, and secretly held Yan Chijiu's little hand.

Yan Chijiu tried hard to keep his facial expression natural, but his little hands were like small fishes escaping among the lotus leaves and lotus flowers. They slipped out of Xu Xing's palms and were caught again.

On the other side, Xu Niannian looked very sleepy. He turned sideways and put his head on Xu Xing's shoulder: "It's really a bit inappropriate for people to go on business trips and work overtime during the National Day holiday."

"It's not like I didn't pay overtime." Xu Xing squeezed Yan Chijuan's little hand. She was obviously his girlfriend, but secretly doing little tricks in this narrow space was quite exciting, "Oh, by the way.

You are here to travel to Kyoto, so there is no overtime pay."

"Hey, who cares?" Xu Niannian stepped on him to discourage him.

As a result, Yan Chijuan on the side was startled by Xu Niannian's actions and retracted his hand.

"Liao Qinyu and the others are still waiting for you to come back." Yao Yuanyuan did not forget to say at this time, "Especially Gong Ao, they are still waiting for you to go back to discuss the new game."

"Huh?" Xu Xing looked confused, "I remember there are still two game projects in his hands that haven't been completed yet, right?"

"What he probably means is that those two projects are also of the parkour type and can be promoted by a team." Yao Yuanyuan said with a smile, "He is more interested in your other projects."

When Xu Xing heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't expect that Gong Ao would really focus on his little drawer.

After the elevator went down to the first floor, everyone gathered in the lobby, handed the room card to Li Zhibin, and asked him to go to the front desk to check out.

Li Zhibin also went back this time. It was a seven-day National Day holiday. In the first few days, he told his parents that there was something going on at school, and he would definitely have to go home for the last two days.

After the group came out of the hotel, they took a taxi all the way to the airport, checked in their luggage, and started boarding the plane around nine o'clock.

Xu Xing took the lead in checking the tickets and walked to the boarding gate. Followed by Yan Chijuan and Xu Niannian, he walked into the plane and found his seat. They sat in three consecutive seats. Yan Chijuan sat by the window, Xu Xing sat in the middle, and Xu Niannian sat in the seat.

On the aisle seat.

"Would you like some snacks?" Xu Niannian took out potato chips and biscuits from his bag and shared them with the two of them, as if they were really traveling.

After about half an hour, the plane finally took off.

All cell phones are turned off and there is nothing to do.

Xu Niannian, who stayed up late playing with his mobile phone yesterday, felt a little sleepy, so he took out the eye mask and put it on himself. He fell asleep and rested his head on Xu Xing's shoulder.

He turned around and glanced at Xu Niannian who was sleeping, and then at Yao Yuanyuan and others across the aisle who were also closing their eyes to rest. Xu Xing looked away and looked at Yan Chijiu beside him.

Yan Chijiu shook his head cautiously, indicating that he was too dangerous.

But Xu Xing smiled, reached out and pinched her little hand to play with it.

So while Yan Chijuan was enjoying the tenderness with her boyfriend, she was also nervously paying attention to Xu Niannian on the other side of Xu Xing, as well as Yao Yuanyuan and others on the other side of the aisle. After discovering that no one was paying attention here, she relaxed slightly.

tone.

The plane flies smoothly high in the sky.

Yan Chiju opened the snack that Xu Niannian shared just now, quietly took out a piece of potato chip, and handed it to Xu Xing's mouth. He bit off half of it, and then took the remaining half back and licked it with her own little mouth.

Sip.

The two secretly fed each other. Yan Chijuan seemed to like this little feeding game and had a great time playing it.

Xu Xing didn't have a small hand to hold, so he had to put his right hand on Yan Chijuan's jeans-wearing thigh and squeeze it from time to time.

Even through some thick jeans, the tender flesh couldn't be stopped, so much so that when Yan Chijuan felt the warmth of his palm through the jeans, she felt a little hot on her face.

But Yan Chijuan didn't reject him at all. Instead, he silently turned his body slightly and moved his legs closer to Xu Xing's direction. This made it much easier to feed Xu Xing snacks.

As for Xu Niannian.

She is sleeping.

Midway, the flight attendant pushed a trolley to provide drinks to the passengers. When she came to Xu Xing's side, she saw Xu Niannian leaning on Xu Xing's shoulder, while Xu Xing's hand was pressed on the thigh of the girl on the other side, and she was still accepting the

When the girl fed him, a look of disgust flashed across her eyes.

But the next second, she suddenly came to her senses and heard the boy in the middle push the girl who seemed to be in the palace and said: "Sister, wake up, what do you want to drink?"

"Well..." Xu Niannian leaned on Xu Xing's shoulder and patted his thigh, "Whatever, don't disturb my sleep."

So Xu Xing asked for three glasses of juice. The flight attendant looked a little embarrassed. She politely poured juice for Xu Xing and the others, and continued to move forward while pulling the trolley.

"What are you eating?" Xu Niannian was already half asleep. Hearing the sound of Xu Xing eating, he couldn't help but said, "Give me some too."

"Don't you want to sleep?"

"After eating, go to sleep."

"Here." Xu Xing took a piece from the potato chip bag in Yan Chijuan's hand and stuffed it into Xu Niannian's mouth.

Xu Niannian opened his mouth to catch it, but because his eyes were closed, he bit the tip of Xu Xing's finger.

"Damn, you're a puppy, right?"

"What the hell are you talking about? Besides, it's really going to bite you."

Xu Niannian chewed the potato chips dissatisfied, then opened his mouth again: "One more piece."

"Can't you eat it yourself?"

"Take another piece and I'll go back to sleep."

"Here."

"Aww~ Another piece?"

"I think you've gone too far."

"I'm just teasing you if you don't want to eat." Xu Niannian adjusted his posture slightly, simply pushed up the middle armrest, and leaned against Xu Xing comfortably, "Go on and sleep, call me when you get there.

"

…

The plane flew more than a thousand kilometers and landed at the Shanghai airport near noon.

After returning to the company, Xu Xing sat in the office and began to deal with the affairs accumulated in the past few days.

Xu Niannian and Yan Chijuan both returned to their respective posts and joined the list of overtime workers during the holidays.

The three new games will need to allocate some manpower in the future to maintain daily system maintenance, event operations, and subsequent version updates.

The spare manpower will be quickly invested in the development of new games.

As of noon on the 6th, the downloads of Fruit Assassin had exceeded 14 million, Secret Escape 8 million, and Happy Run 3 million.

Even for WeChat Assistant, the actual number of registered users has reached 450,000. Xu Xing was a little surprised and had to lament the lethality of these games.

Although these 450,000 WeChat Assistant users are really vulnerable compared to Tencent's current hundreds of millions of mobile QQ users, and are not even a fraction of the other party's, it gave Xu Xing a little hope.

After all, he still has a lot of trump cards in his hand that he hasn't released yet.

Xu Xing was busy from noon until almost evening, and then he finished all the things he had accumulated.

After checking the time, it was too late to look for them one by one, so Xu Xing simply said to Peng Yuxuan: "Xiao Peng, go upstairs and call Liao Qinyu and the others, and let's go out for a meal together in the evening."

After saying that, Xu Xing also stood up and asked Peng Yuxuan to call someone upstairs. He called Yao Yuanyuan from the finance office, Yan Chiju and others from the office area, and then called Li Zhibin who had already gone home.

.

"Hello? Come out to eat."

"What the hell? I've already finished dinner, okay?" Li Zhibin said speechlessly, "You didn't tell me earlier."

"It's not even five o'clock, have you finished eating?"

"My mother feels sorry for me, isn't it? I told her that I have been working part-time at school recently. The money from part-time jobs is more during the National Day, so I worked a few more days and showed her last month's salary." Li Zhibin laughed.

He said, "I brought back more than two thousand, and she was so moved that she immediately cooked me a delicious meal in the afternoon."

"It's good." Xu Xing thought of his parents' confused appearance after Li Zhibin died in his previous life, and then thought of Li Zhibin's current appearance, and couldn't help but feel a little relieved, "Then let's come too. It's said to be a meal, but in fact it's also a meeting. Come and hear about the company

The follow-up planning is also good.”

"Okay." Li Zhibin responded, "Where should we go to eat?"

"The restaurant where we had our high school reunion dinner was delicious. Go and book a table for me."

"Damn it, after all, I still have to run errands!"

"What do you mean by running errands? It sounds really ugly. You can eat it later."

“I’m so stuffed to death even when I’m riding a horse!”

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xing took the people from Tianshu Company downstairs, and Liao Qinyu and Dai Zhuoshan, who were working upstairs, also came down.

Yan Chiju, Xu Niannian, Yao Yuanyuan and Yu Youjia, the four members of the start-up team also followed, plus three executives poached from a certain degree. The group drove to the hotel to book a table with them in advance.

Li Zhibin of the dish meets.

"By the way." Xu Xing said to Yao Yuanyuan in the car, "Is your mother free recently?"

"What are you going to do?" Yao Yuanyuan, who was driving the car, asked doubtfully, "She flew to the United States on a business trip before, and she was inspecting a project in Shudu some time ago. It seems she just came back the day before yesterday."

"Then we can make an appointment to have a meal and have a chat?"

"Today?" Yao Yuanyuan thought about it, "Today shouldn't be possible. She should be having dinner with someone. The foundry that she took over just resumed production last month. After coming back these two days, she was invited to have dinner by the factory director.

"

Xu Xing waved his hand and then said: "It'll be fine in two days, I'm not in a hurry."

…

At this time, Xu Xing and others were in the target hotel.

Pei Qinglan carried her bag and walked into the private room on the second floor with a blank expression. She was immediately greeted by the factory director and others sitting inside.

After sitting down, factory director Yan Hongzhi called the waiter to start serving food.

Pei Qinglan's eyes fell on Xu Jian and Sun Wanhui opposite, and she raised her eyebrows: "Huh? I haven't seen these two before. Are they new management in the factory?"

"No, no, these two are our partners that we have just negotiated with recently." Factory Director Yan Hongzhi introduced with a smile, "Didn't Mr. Pei remind us before that we should pay more attention to the development of e-commerce in the past few years?

You can consider exploring this aspect in the future.”

"No, it just so happens that Lao Xu is an old acquaintance of ours there. The factory didn't start work before, so we didn't have the chance to get in touch with him. After we chatted with him recently, we found out that his wife Wanhui has been doing this business recently."

"We have talked several times, and I feel that their method of customization and mass production of popular items is a bit over the top, so I wanted to ask you to check it out as well."

"Oh?" Pei Qinglan couldn't help but become interested when she saw him talking about e-commerce related business, "Okay, let's talk while eating."

…

At 5:30 in the evening, Xu Xing and his group met up with Li Zhibin who had reserved a private room in the hotel.

Nine people sat around a table, and they didn't engage in any dining table culture. They each ordered their favorite drinks and chatted about the company's recent business while eating.

The first one who couldn't help it was Gong Ao.

"Mr. Xu, when will the planning plan for the new game be released?"

"I feel like you are more anxious than me, the boss." Xu Xing couldn't help laughing when he saw him looking like he was in heat, "Don't worry, in addition to the two subsequent parkour projects, there should be two new projects, so I'm worried

Our gaming department is overwhelmed."

"Come on!" When Gong Ao heard that there was a new project, he immediately slapped the table and shouted, "There were some pretty good ideas in the project team before, like Lei Wenyan and He Sitong, who have Escape and Happy Run

With his experience, he is fully capable of leading the team to develop high-speed rail parkour and exciting skiing.”

"The rest of the people will be allocated some manpower to be responsible for the follow-up maintenance and updates of the three games. I will lead the team... uh..."

While talking, Gong Ao suddenly got stuck.

Because when we count them in detail, it seems that there are really not enough people.

"Let's continue to expand enrollment after the National Day." Xu Xing tapped his fingers on the table and looked at Yao Yuanyuan, "By the way, we can see if there are any suitable office buildings nearby. The entrepreneurial park is too small now and can't accommodate us."

"Ha." Yao Yuanyuan laughed and shook her head, a little helpless, "Unfortunately, I signed the contract for the shortest half-year period before, but it turns out that I can't even last a month."

"You can take a look at the office building first, and then we can discuss the company relocation. Take your time, don't rush." ​​Xu Xing said, after ending the topic, he looked at Dai Zhuoshan again, "Where are you? Are you busy enough?

?”

"It's okay." Dai Zhuoshan nodded, "The hot news has been tested and can be launched at any time. We have the opening screen advertising traffic of several games such as Fruit Assassin, so the accumulation of users in the early stage should not be a problem."

"What about the others?"

"The food delivery side hasn't started yet, right? Mr. Xu, the person you asked me to contact is still preparing a publicity plan, and has already attracted more than a dozen merchants to settle in. When students come back from the National Day holiday, they should start to promote and attract new customers.

"

"Well, you should always pay attention to the maintenance and updates of the platform over there, especially some user feedback. You should communicate more with Zhang Nong's front-line staff." Xu Xing reminded a few words and then said, "In addition, over in Kyoto, you

I need to send someone over to connect with you and help you create a taxi-hailing app."

"Do you have any requirements?"

"The requirements are actually similar to those of food delivery software, but remember to be careful." Xu Xing smiled and added, "Since it is a taxi-hailing software we provide, various user parameters can be retained for research."

"This area is just like food delivery. It will burn a lot of money in the future. I may not be able to follow up on both ends."

"But if you master a few things in advance, you can get more benefits when you exit the game and get some meat from those big players."

Dai Zhuoshan listened thoughtfully, while Liao Qinyu on the side reported the situation of the WeChat assistant.

There are currently more than 400,000 registered users, probably because of the relatively novel software that has been newly downloaded. Now the daily active users are very good, with more than 200,000.

Moreover, several games have launched activities where you can get resurrection coins by sharing. After the player fails and dies, if there are no resurrection coins, they can choose to share the game with friends on WeChat Assistant and get a free resurrection opportunity.

However, this opportunity to share the game is only five times a day, and it must be shared with different friends.

If a friend only downloads another game and does not download the shared game, then after clicking on the sharing interface and downloading the game, both players can get three more resurrection coins for free.

This activity just went online today and has received a lot of praise, and it has also stimulated chat interactions among WeChat Assistant friends.

After all, if we really want to develop into instant messaging social software in the future, we must slowly develop the habit of users using WeChat assistants to chat.

Otherwise, once the impression of Game Center is thoroughly ingrained in people's hearts, it will be very difficult to change direction later.

"Then don't wait any longer." Xu Xing kept thinking about the current WeChat Assistant user data, and then said, "The next update will be updated every week, starting with the address book friend function, one by one."

Liao Qinyu received Xu Xing's instructions, and his mood became surging.

Those experiences that were not taken seriously in the past may be completely reversed in the subsequent development of WeChat Assistant.

Although Liao Qinyu still feels that it is difficult to shake the QQ mountain, but with the support of these super popular mobile games owned by Qunxing Company, perhaps WeChat Assistant can really take a bite of a large market.

"I'm going to the toilet."

Xu Xing felt like peeing halfway through the meal, so he stood up and said.

Yan Chijue on the side also followed suit: "I'll go too."

…

On the other side, Pei Qinglan stood up a minute or two early and said, "I'm going to the toilet."

At the same time, Sun Wanhui on the opposite side also found the right opportunity and, following Xu Jian's prompting, got up and went to the toilet together.

So, when Pei Qinglan and Sun Wanhui walked into the bathroom chatting and laughing, and when they came out after using the bathroom, they bumped into Xu Xing and Yan Chiju who had just walked out of the private room.

"Xu Xing? Why are you here?"

Sun Wanhui and Pei Qinglan asked in surprise almost at the same time.

Then the two turned to look at each other again, with very surprised expressions:

"Do you know each other?"
