Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Xing was finally liberated from the men's clothing store.

It's just that I have a few more big bags on hand.

Xu Niannian goes shopping by himself to buy clothes. He often compares and compares, even if he changes several clothes, he may not spend money on them.

But she was never soft-hearted when buying clothes for Xu Xing. When she saw something that looked good, fit well, or had a suitable style, and her eyes lit up, she would wave her hand without hesitation and ask the shopping guide next to her to package it directly.

Although Xu Xing is indeed not short of money now, he doesn't have the habit of spending a lot of money. If he hadn't stopped him, it would be estimated that each of the five people would have two bags.

Those who didn’t know better thought they were here to celebrate Xu Xing’s birthday.

"Those sets of casual clothes are for daily wear, and the suits can be worn when there are meetings in the company." Xu Niannian warned, "How can you be the boss if you don't even own a suit?"

"Why are you so particular?" Xu Xing laughed, but he didn't refuse.

He simply doesn't like the more restrictive clothes like suits, and prefers looser casual or sportswear.

However, there will always be some more formal occasions in the future, so it doesn't hurt to prepare a suit.

"With your current worth, even if you don't care, you still have to pay attention to this aspect." Yao Yuanyuan reminded from the side, "It doesn't matter in the company, but in the future, you still have to dress appropriately when you go out to meet people of the same level."

"Yes." Xu Niannian nodded in agreement, patted Xu Xing's shoulder and said, "I'll make do with the suit I bought today. When I'm free next time, I'll take you to customize one."

Xu Xing nodded obediently, and then asked: "What's for dinner?"

"I don't know, do you have anything you want to eat?" Xu Niannian raised his face and thought for a moment, then asked a few people on the side.

Yu Youjia and Yao Yuanyuan just came to have a meal to celebrate their birthdays. They didn't have any ideas. However, Yan Chijiu asked in a low voice: "Sister Nian Nian, I went to the cake shop in front of the community yesterday to order a set of cake-making materials and tools. Let's go back.

Would you like to make your own cake?”

"Wow!" Xu Niannian had never tried celebrating a birthday like this before, and he immediately became interested, but still worried, "Do you want to do it yourself? It doesn't feel easy, right?"

"It's not like you made it yourself." Yan Chijiu waved his hand and explained in a low voice, "The cake, cream and various tools are all ready-made. We can DIY the specific appearance of the cake ourselves, such as what fruits to put in and how many layers to stack.

Layers, drawings, etc., you don’t have to start from scratch.”

"Let's go!" When Xu Niannian heard that Yan Chijuan had made arrangements, he immediately waved his hand, hugged Yan Chijuan and walked to the parking lot, "Let's buy some ingredients first, make the cake in the evening, and eat at the same time

Let’s eat cake while having hot pot.”

Originally, Xu Xing and Yan Chijuan planned to make the cake from scratch.

But then I gave up after checking how to do it.

First, it is more troublesome, and second, it is easy to be discovered by Xu Niannian, the birthday boy.

Later, Xu Xing simply found a nearby cake shop and explained his needs.

Originally, the cake shop was not very willing. After all, it was troublesome to just provide materials and tools and not make a few bucks.

But after all, it was Mr. Xu who took the initiative, and money was not an issue, so there would be no problem.

The cake shop happily agreed quickly, and even the store manager said that he could personally provide guidance if necessary, and that he could communicate at any time if he had any questions.

…

On the way back to Brilliance's home, Yao Yuanyuan was still driving.

Xu Xing was sandwiched between Yan Chiju and Xu Niannian in the middle seat of the back seat, holding his mobile phone to deal with company affairs.

In fact, he had pretty much handled the specific matters in the morning, and he didn't have much to do on the weekends.

However, several new games have now entered the testing stage, and Gong Ao has become obsessed with them again. He is still thinking about the pair of folders in Xu Xing's drawer and has never forgotten them.

I've been thinking about it for a long time.

Xu Xing really didn't expect this guy to be so obsessed with game production, but he had no other choice.

After all, the pile of folders in the drawer were all blank pages, so Xu Xing could only dismiss him casually.

[Xu Xing]: The company now has 8 mobile games on hand. You must first ensure that there are no problems with the subsequent maintenance and updates of these 8 mobile games, and then talk about new games.

[Gong Ao]: That must be no problem. Now in the testing phase, many people are free and already invested in it. Game version updates and iterations are always going on.

[Xu Xing]: We must pay attention to the linkage effect with WeChat. Mobile games and WeChat are traffic pool ports that divert traffic to each other. We must ensure the nature of social interaction while trying not to affect the core gameplay. This is not a simple requirement.

[Gong Ao]: This side has been specifically connected with Liao Qinyu, and the two sides plan to set up a special group to facilitate information exchange and communication between departments.

[Xu Xing]: You can figure it out yourself. If you have any questions, come to me.

[Gong Ao]: OK, Mr. Xu, can you tell us whether we have any big projects in the future?

[Gong Ao]: Rhythm King and Guard Carrot are indeed relatively large projects, but they are still relatively lightweight and feel a bit unsatisfactory.

To be honest, lightweight is the killer move for mobile games at this stage.

Xu Xing knew this very well.

Including mobile games such as Piano Keys, Dancing Line, Little Crocodile Loves to Take a Bath, and Cut the Rope, which he has already prepared in his plan. They are basically lightweight and attract traffic.

But around 2014 or 2015, the large-scale mobile game market will have its first wave of boom as the mobile game audience grows and 4G becomes fully popular.

The most familiar one among them is naturally "Honor of Kings" launched by Tencent around 2015.

But before that, "Dota Legend", a card-based mobile game in 2014, was the first hit that year after 4G became popular.

If you push forward further, the Sakura Kingdom game "Millions of King Arthur", which is also a card mobile game, has also made quite a splash with the support of Shanda.

It's just that the latter should have been officially launched in Sakura Country now, so Xu Xing has no extra thoughts. It depends on whether Chen Rui's Bizhan can intercept Hu Shengda and grab the agency rights.

If we simply look at the size of Bizhan, there is no way it can compete with Shanda.

But if you include the support behind WeChat, which has now exceeded 30 million users, it’s hard to say the specific outcome.

but.

If you are not limited to mobile games, look wider...

[Xu Xing]: I will give you three directions now, you can consider them.

[Gong Ao]: Mr. Xu, please tell me.

[Xu Xing]: First, Mr. Chen over at Bip Station, you can go and talk to him when you have time. He should be talking about a mobile card game project in Sakura Country right now, and we should also be talking about it next year.

When setting up a mobile card game project, you can get to know it first.

[Xu Xing]: Second, Tencent’s current client games, League of Legends, are in a period of considerable growth. Once the performance of mobile phones improves in the future, MOBA mobile games will also be a battleground. You have to prepare in advance.

Prepare.

Gong Ao, who was in the company, felt excited after seeing Mr. Xu finally share some useful information. After carefully reading these two points Xu Xing said, he had some ideas in his mind.

But immediately, the third point Xu Xing said completely ignited his interest.

[Xu Xing]: Regarding the third point, have you done any PC games before?

[Gong Ao]: I have done it before. When I first entered the industry, I came from the PC game industry.

[Xu Xing]: If you have time, let’s learn more about PC games such as “Dayz Battle Royale” and “Armed Assault”.

[Gong Ao]: What Mr. Xu means is... we want to make a client game?!

[Gong Ao]: I remember these two games, they seemed to be gun battle games? They also seemed to have a bit of military simulation or something.

[Xu Xing]: The gun battle is not the focus. I let you understand. The main thing is to study the "Battle Royale", a large-scale PVP full-map multi-party battle mode.

[Xu Xing]: Anyway, there is no rush. You can get to know each other first, and then we can talk in detail when we have time.

【Gong Ao】:Okay!

After having a new direction, Gong Ao instantly felt full of energy. After replying to Xu Xing, he immediately started to make follow-up plans according to what Xu Xing said.

Xu Xing, who was communicating with him in the car, had already returned to Brilliance Home by car.

After the group of five people finished shopping for groceries, they got ready-made materials and tools for making cakes from the cake shop at the entrance of the community, and came to the shared house of the three of them with great interest.

Taking the elevator all the way up, Xu Niannian took the lead as the birthday boy. He took out the key and opened the door. After habitually throwing Xu Xing and Yan Chijuan's slippers on the ground, he took out two new pairs of unused slippers and handed them to them.

A first time guest.

Because it was their first time here, Yu Youjia and Yao Yuanyuan followed the three people all the way. They watched the three people take off their shoes very skillfully after entering the door. Looking at this picture, they always felt that it was both harmonious and inconsistent.

As guests, the two people walked in politely, changed their shoes, and curiously looked at the environment of the three of them in the shared house.

Hmm...how do I put it...

There are always various behavioral trajectories in a person's life.

If there is only one person living in the house, then everything in the house can trace some of the behavior and habits of the owner of the house.

For example, there are three sofas in the living room, including a long sofa and two single sofas next to it.

The couch was very clean, but the single sofa near the door was filled with all kinds of express delivery boxes, all of which were the products of Xu Niannian's usual online shopping.

On the other side, on the single sofa near the balcony, there were freshly washed and dried clothes that the few of them were too lazy to put away because they had to go to work.

The floor is very clean, and it is swept and mopped frequently as soon as you see it.

Neither Xu Niannian nor Xu Xing has this habit. Most of the time, Yan Chiju quietly cleans the public spaces.

Including the surroundings of the kitchen and dining table, as well as the placement of various things in the living room, all are carefully taken care of by Yan Chi Vinegar every day.

It makes people feel comfortable just looking at it.

In addition, a raised small table is placed on the coffee table.

Because there is no desk in Xu Xing's bedroom, and the original study here was converted into a bedroom by the landlord because it was for rent, Xu Xing usually works on the coffee table when he needs to use a computer at home.

Xu Niannian saw that he often sat on the sofa with his head down and his head bent over his notebook, so he simply bought him a small table to alleviate the situation a little.

And when Yu Youjia walked into the bathroom to go to the toilet and saw the towels placed neatly by the three people on the shelf, the three tooth cups close together, and various other things, she would inexplicably feel for Xu Nian.

A sense of crisis arose every year.

Now that you all live together in such a natural and harmonious way, it is hard for Yu Youjia to believe that the petite and cute Yan Chijuan has no feelings for Xu Xing.

To be honest, with Xu Xing's personality, family background, life style, education and career, it is difficult for any little girl to resist this charm.

After using the toilet, Yu Youjia washed her hands in front of the sink. Her eyes fell on the tooth cups of the three people, and she fell into deep thought for a long time.

You have to find an opportunity to remind me every year.

Don't be so ignorant that you don't even know someone picked a peach.

…

The kitchen of the shared house is not very big. After the four girls squeezed in, Xu Xing, a grown man, felt embarrassed to get in.

However, it is precisely because the kitchen is not big and the countertop inside is not enough, some things are placed on the dining table outside.

So Xu Xing became a transporter, responsible for delivering things to them at the kitchen door.

It's not tiring either.

Especially when you can watch four young and beautiful girls huddled together in a small kitchen, making cakes with great interest, learning how to pipe cream to draw circles and flowers, it is a beautiful thing.

Because Yan Chijuan couldn't squeeze through them, he was always forced to retreat to the outside.

At this time, Xu Xing would always take the opportunity of passing something to touch her little hand and pat her little butt.

Yan Chijiu's cheeks flushed red from his stimulation. When Xu Niannian saw it, he thought she was too hot from being squeezed. While asking her if it was okay, he stretched out his hand and smeared the cream on Xu Xing's face.

.

Xu Xing: "...You are wasting food."

"Scrape it off and eat it yourself." Xu Niannian said with a smile, "Do you want the birthday girl to lick it off for you?"

"That's not impossible."

"Disgusting!" Xu Niannian kicked him.

Yan Chijuan next to her was also attacked by Yao Yuanyuan, and there was a touch of cream on her cheeks. The little girl was not to be outdone, but Yao Yuanyuan dodged it with a smile, and then she smeared it on her face again.

As a result, Yao Yuanyuan didn't pay attention and accidentally applied it to Yan Chijuan's eyes, her eyelids and eyebrows.

Yan Chiju said "Yeah", which startled Yao Yuanyuan.

"Are you okay, jealous?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Yan Chijue waved her hand, but there was a little cream on her eyes, which affected her ability to open her eyes.

So she walked out of the kitchen and said, "You guys go ahead, I'll go wash up."

Seeing Yan Chijuan trotting into the bathroom, Xu Xing rolled his eyes twice and was attacked several times by Xu Niannian, leaving cream all over his face.

So he also said: "I'll go and wash it too."

After saying that, he slipped all the way into the bathroom and happened to see Yan Chi vinegar filling his eyes with water and wiping his eyes. After washing, he went to wash his face with another cream.

Xu Xing stood at the door of the bathroom, listened carefully to the noise in the kitchen, and after confirming that it was safe, he took advantage of Yan Chiju to finish washing, and stuck up to her from behind.

"Ah... you, please don't mess around... Sister Nian Nian and the others are all here."

"It's okay, we're all in the kitchen, we can't see here."

"That won't work either... I haven't washed it yet."

"I'll help you wash it."

Xu Xing turned her body around, her blushing face more attractive than cream.

"Look, the cream needs to be washed like this to be clean." Xu Xing held her against the sink behind her, supported her waist with one hand and the back of her head with the other, and kissed the delicious cream on it.

"Um……"

Yan Chijuan felt Xu Xing's breath, and could clearly feel the tip of his tongue on her cheek, gently licking away the sweet cream, and occasionally touching her cheek lightly, causing her body to tremble slightly like an electric shock.

The whole body was soft and turned into sweet butter.

Very soft and sweet.
