My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 1270 Beautiful

Those students who were once ignorant and innocent in kindergarten, began to pursue their dreams in primary school, experienced growth and transformation in middle school, and spread their wings in university are now scattered all over the world and shining in different fields.

Every year at the class reunion, some people would talk about the good times in Xingyao Academy. Every blade of grass, every brick and every tile on the campus carries their youthful memories. They used to run hard on the playground for the honor of the class; they used to study hard in the library to prepare for the exam; they made like-minded friends in club activities... These memories are like bright stars, embedded in the long river of their lives.

As for Xingyao Academy itself, it is also constantly evolving in the tide of the times. With the increasing demand for diversified education in society, Xingyao Academy has further optimized its curriculum. In terms of art education, it has added cutting-edge majors such as digital media art and film and television performance to cultivate a group of artistic talents that are adapted to the development of modern cultural industries. In the field of science and technology, research on emerging disciplines such as quantum computing and artificial intelligence has also been gradually carried out, attracting many students who are interested in cutting-edge technology to join in.

Zhou Xing, the principal who has devoted his life to the field of education, has gray hair on his temples, but his eyes still reveal his passion for education. He often travels around the campus, exchanges teaching experiences with young teachers, and answers questions for students. Although the years have left their marks on him, he has never stopped pursuing educational philosophy. He initiated the establishment of the Xingyao Education Foundation, which aims to fund educators who have educational ideals but lack financial support to carry out innovative educational projects; at the same time, the foundation also donates books and equipment to schools in remote areas, sharing the high-quality educational resources of Xingyao Academy with more people in need.

In a bustling corner of a bustling city, Zhou Xing, the boss of an Internet company, spends his days with codes and data. Ling Xue, his high school classmate, runs an Internet cafe that is neither too big nor too small. It is the battlefield of her youth and the habitat of her dreams. The two seem to have parallel lives, but by chance, they are quietly intertwined because of the invisible bond of the Internet.

Zhou Xing's Internet company is located in a high-end office building in the city center. The glass curtain wall reflects the blue sky and white clouds, which is particularly dazzling. He is in his early thirties, with a slender figure and sharp eyes. He always wears a decent suit, giving people a calm and restrained feeling. After graduating from college, he devoted himself to the Internet industry. With his love for technology and keen market insight, he gradually made the company bigger and stronger. However, behind the success is endless busyness and loneliness. He often works overtime until late at night, watching the neon lights outside the window go out one by one, but he can't hide his desire for warmth and companionship in his heart.

On the other hand, Ling Xue's Internet cafe is located at the corner of an old street. Although the location is not conspicuous, the business is extremely hot. This is due to Ling Xue's unique business strategy and her passionate heart. Ling Xue is not tall, but she has a well-proportioned figure, her short hair looks neat and tidy, and her eyes are shining with unyielding light. She has been a "tomboy" since she was a child, with a straightforward personality and clear likes and dislikes. After graduating from high school, she did not choose to go to college, but used her own pocket money and part of the money borrowed from her family to open this Internet cafe. For her, this is not only a means of making a living, but also a stage for realizing her self-worth.

One weekend evening, Zhou Xing finished work early and decided to go to the old street to relax. When he walked to the corner, he was attracted by a burst of laughter. It turned out that a group of people gathered in front of Ling Xue's Internet cafe, and it seemed that an e-sports competition was going on. Zhou Xing wanted to pass by, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of Ling Xue's familiar smiling face, and his heart was warmed, so he walked over involuntarily.

"Hey, isn't this Boss Zhou! How come you have time to come to this small place today?" Ling Xue recognized Zhou Xing at a glance and joked.

Zhou Xing smiled and said, "I just happened to be passing by, so I came to take a look. Are you guys having an event?"

"Yes, there is a recent League of Legends city competition, and our internet cafe is one of the competition areas. The qualifiers will be held today." Ling Xue's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Would you like to come in and sit down and feel the youthful atmosphere?"

Zhou Xing nodded and followed Ling Xue into the Internet cafe. The lights were bright inside, and it was full of young faces, with everyone's eyes flickering with the desire for victory. Zhou Xing was deeply moved by this atmosphere, as if he had returned to his youth. He sat in a corner, watching the game quietly, occasionally exchanging a few words with Ling Xue, and a long-lost sense of relaxation surged in his heart.

After the game, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue walked out of the Internet cafe together. It was late at night, and the old street under the street lights seemed particularly quiet. The two walked side by side, chatting about interesting things in high school, and memories came flooding back.

"I remember that time, you were the top student in our class, and you always ranked among the top in every exam, while I was a complete loser." Ling Xue said with a self-deprecating smile.

Zhou Xing also laughed: "It's not that exaggerated, you're just not interested in studying. In fact, you have a lot of ideas and opinions, which is what I admire most about you."

Ling Xue felt warm at heart when she heard this, and she looked at Zhou Xing with a little more tenderness: "Do you really think so? In fact, I always thought I was quite ordinary, until I opened this Internet cafe, I slowly found my own value."

Zhou Xing nodded: "Yes, everyone has their own shining points, but sometimes it takes a little time and opportunity to discover them. I envy you for being able to find your own direction so early."

The two chatted all the way and unknowingly walked to Zhou Xing's car. Ling Xue stopped, turned around and said to Zhou Xing: "I am really happy today, thank you for coming to watch my game."

Zhou Xing smiled and shook his head: "I should be the one thanking you for letting me find the happiness I have not seen for a long time. Let's keep in touch if we have the chance in the future."

Ling Xue nodded in agreement, and then watched Zhou Xing's car go farther and farther away. Looking at his back, Ling Xue felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart, like the joy of meeting an old friend, and also like the expectation of some possibility in the future.

Since then, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue have been in contact more and more. Zhou Xing would go to Ling Xue's Internet cafe in his spare time to help her with ideas, and Ling Xue would also invite Zhou Xing to participate in the Internet cafe's activities. The friendship between the two quietly warmed up during their exchanges.

One day, Zhou Xing's company received a big project to develop a game platform that integrates the latest artificial intelligence technology. This project is extremely difficult, requiring not only strong technical skills, but also a deep understanding of the market. Zhou Xing led the team to work overtime, but the progress was not satisfactory. Whenever he encountered a problem, he couldn't help but think of Ling Xue, the girl who always gave him inspiration at the critical moment.

So, on a weekend afternoon, Zhou Xing came to Ling Xue's Internet cafe again. This time, he did not walk in directly as usual, but called Ling Xue at the door.

"Ling Xue, are you busy now? I have something I want to talk to you about." Zhou Xing's voice sounded a little tired through the phone.

"I'm not busy, come in quickly!" Ling Xue heard the strangeness in Zhou Xing's tone and said quickly.

Zhou Xing walked into the Internet cafe and saw Ling Xue lying on the counter reading a book. She raised her head and saw Zhou Xing's tired face, and she couldn't help but frowned: "What's wrong? You look very tired."

Zhou Xing sighed and gave a general account of the project: "This project is very important to us, but we have encountered many technical bottlenecks and the team atmosphere is very depressing. I don't know what to do." After listening, Ling Xue put down the book and thought seriously for a while: "I don't understand the technical issues, but I think you can try to think about the problem from a different angle. For example, is there anything that can be improved in terms of user experience? Or are there similar successful cases in the market that can be used as reference?"

Zhou Xing's eyes lit up: "You're right! We have been too focused on the technology itself recently and ignored the actual needs of users. Maybe I should go out and see how other companies do it."

Ling Xue nodded: "Yes, it is not advisable to work in isolation. You can attend more industry exhibitions, or communicate with colleagues from other companies, maybe you will get some new inspiration."

Zhou Xing looked at Ling Xue gratefully: "Thank you, Ling Xue. Every time I come to see you, I can get inspiration from you."

Ling Xue smiled and said, "Why are you being polite? Friends should help each other. Besides, I also want to see you succeed."

In the following months, Zhou Xing followed Ling Xue's advice, actively participated in various industry activities, and had in-depth exchanges with colleagues in the industry. As expected, he gained a lot. Not only did he solve technical problems, but he also had a clearer understanding of the market. The project gradually got on track, and the team's atmosphere became positive.

During this process, Zhou Xing appeared more frequently in Ling Xue's Internet cafe. The two discussed project details together and shared each other's daily lives. Gradually, they discovered that they had an extraordinary tacit understanding and rapport with each other.

One time, Zhou Xing was waiting for Ling Xue to get off work in an Internet cafe, and they went to a nearby restaurant for dinner. During dinner, Zhou Xing suddenly asked, "Ling Xue, have you ever thought that one day in the future, we will do something big together?"

Ling Xue was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course I've thought about it, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. Do you have any plans?"

Zhou Xing nodded. "In fact, I have been wondering whether our Internet cafe and my Internet company can have a deeper cooperation. For example, we can use your Internet cafe as an offline experience center to showcase our new products and technologies; and your Internet cafe can also obtain more publicity and resources through our platform."

After hearing this, Ling Xue's eyes sparkled with excitement: "This is a good idea! In this way, we can complement each other online and offline and provide better services to players."

Zhou Xing continued, "Not only that, I also want to set up an e-sports department within our company to be responsible for the planning and operation of e-sports events. What do you think?"

Ling Xue nodded without hesitation: "Great! I have always been interested in e-sports, and I have the resources and experience in this area. We can work together to create our own e-sports brand!"

The two became more and more excited as they talked, as if they had already seen a beautiful blueprint for future cooperation. After dinner, they walked home together, the moonlight shining on them, adding a bit of romance to the journey that was about to begin.

As the cooperation deepened, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue's company began to prepare for a large-scale e-sports competition. This competition aims to promote their new platform and new games, and also provide a stage for domestic e-sports enthusiasts to show themselves. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the competition, the two invested almost all their energy and time.

During the preparation process, they encountered many difficulties and challenges. The sponsor's funds were not in place, the level of the contestants was uneven, and there were problems with the venue layout... Every link required their personal supervision and coordination. But no matter how big the difficulties were, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue never gave up. They encouraged and supported each other and overcame difficulties together.

Finally, after several months of intense preparation, the day of the competition arrived. On the day of the competition, the venue was packed with people and the atmosphere was warm. E-sports players from all over the country gathered together to fight for honor and dreams. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue stood on the stage, looking at the enthusiastic audience and the players who were focused on the competition, and their hearts were filled with a sense of accomplishment and pride.

The competition was extremely intense, and every match touched the hearts of the audience. Finally, amid cheers, the champion team was born. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue walked onto the stage to present trophies and bonuses to the winners. At that moment, they felt unprecedented joy and satisfaction.

At the celebration banquet after the game, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue sat together and reviewed every detail of this period. Ling Xue raised her glass and said, "Zhou Xing, thank you for giving me this opportunity to participate in such a big project. Without your trust and support, I would not have been able to do it."

Zhou Xing also raised his glass: "I should be the one to thank you, Ling Xue. It's you who showed me a different world and taught me how to face difficulties and challenges. Together we created a miracle!"

The two smiled at each other, clinked glasses and drank together. At that moment, they knew that this story that was brought together through the Internet had just begun.

The road ahead is still long, but they believe that as long as they work together and move forward courageously, they will be able to create a more brilliant tomorrow. Whether in the virtual online world or in real life, they will be each other's most solid support and warmest companion.

Ling Xue, as a solid supporter of Xingyao Academy, is also expanding her career. However, she is always concerned about education and continuously transfers the resources she has accumulated in the business field to Xingyao Academy. She actively promotes in-depth cooperation between the school and the business community, providing students with internship training bases and job recommendation services. Thanks to her efforts, Xingyao Academy has established strategic partnerships with many internationally renowned companies. Students have the opportunity to participate in the actual projects of the companies while they are in school, experience the workplace environment in advance, and improve their employment competitiveness.

Today, Xingyao Academy has become a monument in the education field. It is not just a school, but also a symbol of educational spirit.
