Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

Green vegetable soup.

Xu Niannian bought the green vegetables and washed them by hand with Yanchi vinegar.

When cooking, Xu Niannian added water and Yanchi vinegar for seasoning.

After it was cooked, Xu Niannian poured it into a soup bowl, and Yanchi vinegar was brought to the table.

Since both of them were preparing to make their own dishes, whoever had free time to cook the vegetable soup would help.

Except that the soup tasted a little bland and the green cabbage leaves were a little rotten, there weren't really any big problems.

Xu Xing chewed a piece of green vegetables, took another sip of soup, and then turned his attention back to the tomato scrambled eggs and sweet and sour pork ribs.

Taking the kuaizi and sandwiching a piece of egg on top of the tomato scrambled egg, Xu Xing looked around at Xu Niannian and Yan Chiju, but couldn't tell anything from their faces.

"So who made this plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes?" Xu Xing asked curiously, "It couldn't be Xu Niannian, right?"

He remembered that Xu Niannian usually liked this dish, but he always liked to give him tomatoes and only ate eggs.

The possibility of making a plate of tomato scrambled eggs is quite high.

"You eat first." Xu Niannian didn't tell him, but urged, "We'll tell you after we've eaten both."

Xu Xing glanced at Yan Chiju and saw her covering her mouth and turning her head away silently with a smile. After confirming that nothing could be done, she opened her mouth and stuffed the egg that Kuaizi had picked up into her mouth.

Um……

How to say it.

The taste is not as good as the tomato scrambled eggs in the restaurant. It is about the same taste as the ones in the school cafeteria. It is edible, but the taste is average.

Xu Xing picked up another piece of tomato and ate it with a satisfied expression on his face: "Not bad, delicious."

"There is another dish left," Xu Niannian reminded.

"Don't worry." After Xu Xing swallowed the tomato scrambled eggs, he turned his attention to the sweet and sour pork ribs, stretched out his kuai to pick up a piece, and stuffed it into his mouth under the watchful eyes of Xu Niannian and Yan Chijuan.

Hmm...

I feel like I added a little too much vinegar, and the sourness overwhelms the sweetness.

Xu Xing took two mouthfuls and thought to himself.

However, the taste is not bad. Apart from this shortcoming, it is still palatable: "It's not bad, I feel it's good enough to go with the meal."

"Then guess who cooked these two dishes." Xu Niannian sat down with a smile, resting his chin on his hands, and asked impatiently.

"You must have made the tomato scrambled eggs, and the sweet and sour pork ribs are made with vinegar, right?" Xu Xing said straightforwardly without guessing.

"Ha! Hahaha!" When Xu Niannian heard what he said, he jumped up from his chair happily, patted the table and said with a smile to Yan Chiju, "Jiangju, you lose~ The socks and underwear will be worn in the next week

Come and wash Naidu!"

Yan Chijuan cried out in annoyance and helplessness, stamped his feet and glanced at Xu Xing resentfully. In the end, he could only admit defeat: "I know."

"...No." Xu Xing listened in confusion, "What kind of bet do you two have? It's a bit exciting, isn't it? And isn't there a washing machine?"

"You know nothing." Xu Niannian rolled his eyes at him, then hummed a little tune and walked into the kitchen, served food to three people, and said, "I told you that he must have guessed wrong, and he is jealous. Don't you believe it?"

."

"It was supposed to be changed. Who asked Sister Niannian to change the recipe?" Yan Chijuan was still a little unconvinced. It turned out that sweet and sour pork ribs was what she wanted to make.

When she was eating in the school cafeteria before, she saw that Xu Xing didn't eat pork liver very much, but actually liked this dish, so she specially chose this dish today.

But when the two were making a bet, Xu Niannian asked them to exchange the dishes they were going to cook. Now Xu Xing was completely confused.

"Wait a minute." Xu Xing had just reacted at this moment, and suddenly felt a little strange, "I guessed wrong? No way, what else can Xu Niannian do besides scrambled eggs with tomatoes?"

"Damn! You just said that sweet and sour pork ribs are very delicious!" Xu Niannian said unconvinced, "Now you are turning your back on me, right?"

"I'm sorry to say more." Xu Xing curled his lips, "You're too jealous. You can actually eat it. If you don't believe me, you can eat it yourself later."

"What about the tomato scrambled eggs?" Yan Chijuan asked cautiously, "Isn't it delicious?"

"It's okay." Xu Xing consoled him, "It's definitely not comparable to the chefs in the hotel, but the taste is still comparable to the ones in the school cafeteria. I just need to cook the tomatoes longer next time, as the soup is a bit less.

."

"That's good." Yan Chijiu breathed a sigh of relief and saw that Xu Niannian was still serving rice, so he secretly stood on tiptoes and blew into Xu Xing's ear and whispered, "I'll make sweet and sour pork ribs for you later.

eat."

Xu Xing felt his ears itching, and the girl's breath was very alluring.

Unfortunately, Xu Niannian had already served the rice and shouted to him: "Come here and help get it!"

"Coming, coming."

The three of them sat around the dining table with rice in their hands and had dinner together. They quickly finished two dishes and one soup.

Although the taste is still different from that in restaurants, it is indeed a happy thing to be able to get together like this and eat hot meals made by yourself.

Xu Xing was originally supposed to wash the dishes at this time, but because he had something to do and had to go outside after dinner, Xu Niannian let him go and started clearing the table with Yan Chijuan.

While Xu Niannian was walking into the kitchen carrying the dishes, Xu Xing secretly hugged Yan Chi's limp body and kissed her on the face. Then he turned around and walked to the door, shouting to Xu Niannian in the kitchen.

Said: "Then I'm going out!"

"Don't drink when you go out at night!" Xu Niannian heard that Xu Xing was about to leave and ran out of the kitchen quickly, "How about I go with you? I'll drive you there. If you drink, I can also pick you up."

"Don't worry, I'm just going to sit in the cafe." Xu Xing waved his hand, "It's only a two-step walk nearby. You guys should have a good rest at home."

After putting on his shoes, Xu Xing opened the door and walked out, then turned back and said, "Do you two have anything to buy? I'll come back and buy some on the way."

"If there is anything you want to buy, hurry up and come back early."

"Okay, if you think of buying something later, let me know on WeChat." Xu Xing left the last words, closed the door and got off the elevator.

When he walked out of the corridor, Xu Xing looked back at the lights upstairs and sighed a little in his heart.

I didn't feel this deep before. Today, Xu Niannian and Yan Chijuan cook at home, which really makes Xu Xing feel a little bit like home.

It's just that the composition of this home is a bit weird...

After shaking his head and throwing away these distracting thoughts, Xu Xing took out his phone and checked WeChat. After confirming that the address sent by Chen Rui was nearby, he rode his electric bike slowly over there.

Not to mention anything else, just by tricking Chen Rui into downloading WeChat, Xu Xing felt that he had made a profit this time.

It would be best to trick Chen Rui when the time comes and install them for all their employees.

Riding an electric bike in the evening breeze, Xu Xing wrapped his coat tightly.

The weather in Shanghai in November is already a bit cold, and winter is about to begin, so pedestrians on the streets are putting on more clothes.

It only took Xu Xing a few minutes to arrive at the door of this private cafe called Zhongqing Cafe. After finding a space on the side of the road and parking his electric car, he opened the door and walked in.

[Xu Xing]: I’m here, where are you?

【Chen Rui】: Just turn left after entering the door, at the innermost position by the window.

Xu Xing followed Chen Rui's guidance, turned left after entering the door, and walked in the quiet cafe.

The store is not very large, with about a dozen matching tables and chairs. A barista is quietly standing behind the front desk, lowering his head while operating.

Xu Xing looked around and found that there were only a few tables of customers in the store at this time. As he walked in, from a distance, he saw the person he had only seen on the Internet in his previous life.

Well, I'm slightly fat. Looking at me at this moment, my big belly is not obvious yet.

While Xu Xing was looking at Chen Rui, Chen Rui was holding the coffee, taking a sip and looking out the window.

After receiving Xu Xing's WeChat message, he looked at the movement outside the window, his eyes falling on the passing or stopped cars, and his mind sketched out every figure that might be Mr. Xu from Qunxing Company.

The result seems to be neither.

With the current income of Qunxing Company, Mr. Xu is already worth hundreds of millions, and buying a luxury car is probably just a drop in the bucket.

So Chen Rui only focused on those expensive cars and didn't pay any attention to Xu Xing who just passed by on an electric bike.

When he received the message on WeChat, he was stunned for a moment. After replying, he continued to look out the window, but he didn't see any cars stopping.

When Xu Xingxing walked to the table and tapped the table twice, Chen Rui suddenly turned around and saw the young man parked next to his table.

At first, Chen Rui was just a little confused, but looking around, he saw that this was already a corner seat. Normally, no one would come here except the waiter.

Immediately, there was a sudden thump in his heart, and he raised his head again to look at the young man in front of him, and a very absurd idea came to his mind.

But as soon as this possibility came to his mind, he immediately denied it.

But Chen Rui still remained rational and politely asked the young man: "Excuse me, who are you?"

Xu Xing's reaction to Chen Rui was already expected. Anyway, most people who knew his identity for the first time had similar reactions.

In comparison, Chen Rui's reaction was restrained.

When Xu Xing heard Chen Rui's probing inquiry, he couldn't help but smile, stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Chen, this is the first time we meet. I am Xu Xing."

Chen Rui opened his mouth slightly and was stunned. Looking at Xu Xing's stretched out hand, he almost came to his senses: "..."

Fortunately, his concentration was still good. After he came to his senses, he quickly stood up and shook hands with Xu Xing: "Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu, you really shocked me. I'm sorry that I was a little rude."

"It's okay." Xu Xing shook hands with him, let go, and sat down opposite Chen Rui.

Opposite Chen Rui returned to his seat and kept looking at Xu Xing.

To be honest, Chen Rui, who was born in 1978, is actually relatively young. He is only in his thirties this year. He is already wealthy and considers the realization of self-worth.

But facing a young man who definitely looked younger than 25 years old, and who was a self-made rich man with a net worth of hundreds of millions, Chen Rui was a little in awe, and even felt like he was dreaming.

Chen Rui was a little confused when he thought that he was going to talk to such a person. Looking at Xu Xing's young face, it was a bit unreal.

"Hello, would you like to order something?"

At this time, the waiter from the cafe came to the table and asked Xu Xing politely.

Xu Xing glanced at Chen Rui and said directly: "Just the same as my friend."

"Okay." The waiter nodded and left.

After Chen Rui saw that no one was disturbing him, he couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked first: "Although it's a bit offensive, I still want to ask, how old is Mr. Xu this year?"

"20." Xu Xing replied.

In fact, he is not yet 20 years old, and he has to wait until his birthday at the end of the year to turn 20. However, pretending to be 20 years old is not a lie, otherwise it would be even more scary to say that he is 19 years old.

However, the answer of twenty years old still made Chen Rui couldn't help but open his mouth, and was stunned for a moment. After a few seconds, he reluctantly picked up his coffee and took a sip before calming down a little.

A twenty-year-old billionaire, this is outrageous...

"I have to ask Mr. Chen not to spread the word." Xu Xing said with a smile, "I'm still in college and don't want to show off too much."

"Well, I understand this." Chen Rui was not that bored and nodded that it was okay, but he was still digesting the shocking news in his heart.

Stars Corporation...is now more than just making games.

In addition to the ultra-high income from games, Qunxing Company has also invested in many start-up teams.

If this was the work of an entrepreneur in his thirties or forties, Chen Rui would think that this person is very powerful and has great ideas for the future planning of the company.

But facing a twenty-year-old college student, Chen Rui really didn't know what to say.

Especially until now, he has not seen the immaturity of young people in Xu Xing at all, so when facing Xu Xing, Chen Rui did not look down on Xu Xing because of his young age.

Even paid more attention to it.

In the world of the Internet, age is not a factor.

The younger the person at the helm is, the more it shows that the company itself is more youth-oriented and will not be affected by old ideas and thoughts in its development direction.

Chen Rui himself is a two-dimensional person, and his mentality is more youthful. After discovering that the mysterious Mr. Xu turned out to be a college student in his early twenties, he felt relieved.

"Mr. Xu." Chen Rui didn't show any concern. After asking his most curious question, he brought the topic to tonight's topic, "You also saw the email I sent to your company before. I don't know.

What are Mr. Xu’s thoughts here?”

"The conditions you gave are relatively general. I don't have a very clear idea yet." Xu Xing shook his head, looked at Chen Rui and said with a smile, "I asked Mr. Chen to come out this time because I also want to learn more about Mr. Chen's acquisition plan.

, then I can make a judgment."

"Hmm... Does Mr. Xu think that the 4 million acquisition fund is not enough?" Chen Rui asked thoughtfully, "This amount can be discussed later, provided that Mr. Xu really intends to sell Bizhan."

"It's not a question of whether it can be discussed." Xu Xing pointed his finger on the table, "Since Mr. Chen is willing to condescend to serve as CEO of Aizhan, he should know a lot about the second dimension, right?"

"That's for sure." Chen Rui couldn't help laughing when he talked about this, "I've liked this since I was a child, and I still have a complete set of Dragon Ball comics at home."

"I usually fall in love with Aizhan and Bizhan and watch TV dramas. I even sent an email with investment intention to Bizhan before, but by that time Bizhan had already been acquired by Mr. Xu."

"Otherwise, I would probably be more inclined to Bizhan. This is why I found Bizhan as soon as I stabilized on Aizhan."

"Well..." Xu Xing nodded. When he heard this, he couldn't help but be a little curious, "Then why did Mr. Chen choose to go to Ai Station?"

"Actually, I contacted and contacted both families at the same time, but my mentality is more inclined to Bizhan. After all, a small website has small benefits."

Chen Rui held the coffee cup in both hands and said slowly, "But Bizhan refused very decisively at that time, and Mr. Cheng from Aizhan invited me over and wanted me to be responsible for the specific operations so that he could have his hands free.

I wanted to do other things, so I agreed."

"Is it just the CEO of Aizhan?" Xu Xing asked tentatively, "Cheng Shaojie didn't arrange shares for you?"

"Then I will definitely not work for free." Chen Rui said with a smile, "I also invested some money in Aizhan myself, which can be regarded as a small share. At least I have my own say. This acquisition is also made by

I have full control."

In fact, Xu Xing wanted to ask Chen Rui how many shares he held there, but even if he asked such a question, Chen Rui probably wouldn't answer, so he simply gave up the idea.

"I said before that it is not a matter of negotiation, but there is actually a reason." After talking about this, Xu Xing also understood the causes and consequences of Chen Rui joining Aizhan, so he simply expressed his position, "I am very optimistic about the future in China.

The development of the two-dimensional market.”

"Although 4 million is indeed not a low price for the current Bizhan, for my view on the future development of the two-dimensional market, 4 million is far from enough."

"Now, both Aizhan and Bizhan are not considered formal in terms of development. When the industry slowly moves towards the right path, everything becomes standardized, and the two-dimensional culture continues to spread among young people, the development potential of this market is

Not to be underestimated.”

When Chen Rui listened to Xu Xing's words, he didn't expect that the other party would also value the development of this market so much, even more than Cheng Shaojie, who was in charge of Aizhan.

Although Cheng Shaojie is now the big boss of Aizhan, he only pays attention to the game live broadcast he is in charge of, and does not pay attention to the operation of Aizhan itself.

If Chen Rui hadn't joined Aizhan last month and made some rectifications, otherwise Aizhan's users and up owners would probably have continued to lose, being constantly diverted and absorbed by Bizhan.

However, once the acquisition of Bizhan is successful, then Aizhan can basically declare victory in the domestic two-dimensional market, because apart from Bizhan, currently Aizhan has no enemies in China.

So Chen Rui thought about it for a moment, and then asked: "Mr. Xu, if you think 4 million is not appropriate, you can give us a figure."

Since the money is not enough, add more money.

Very simple reason.

The price is all negotiated.

Chen Ruicai didn't believe Xu Xing's nonsense. Although what Xu Xing said was true, he might actually be optimistic about the future two-dimensional market.

But if you are optimistic about it, whether you dare to spend money and bet on it is a question.

Maybe it was just a drama that Xu Xing said just to raise the price.

But after Chen Rui asked, Xu Xing smiled: "I have indeed considered the price."

Having said this, Xu Xing paused.

Just at this moment, the waiter came over with a plate and put down the coffee he ordered: "Please take your time."

"Thank you." Xu Xing took the coffee, took a sip unhurriedly, then looked at Chen Rui and continued, "15 million."

"15 million?!" Chen Rui almost stood up from his seat, "No, Mr. Xu, you are exaggerating. Even if it is the number one two-dimensional website in the country, our website is at most this price.

That’s all, it’s too big of a deal for you to ask for this number.”

"Well, I didn't make it clear." Xu Xing smiled at him apologetically, "I'm not asking you to buy Bizhan for 15 million, but Bizhan is willing to spend 15 million to buy your favorite website."

As soon as the words fell.

The table suddenly became quiet.
