My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 1274 Calm

Relying on his connections and resources in the Internet industry, Zhou Xing helped Ling Xue's Internet cafe to attract a lot of advertising sponsorship. He also introduced her to some professional Internet technology talents to help the Internet cafe further upgrade its network system. Ling Xue took advantage of the Internet cafe's venue to provide an offline promotional venue for Zhou Xing's live streaming project, and organized Internet cafe customers to participate in live streaming interactions, which brought a lot of popularity to the live broadcast room.

With the joint efforts of the two, Zhou Xing's Internet company business grew bigger and bigger, gradually becoming an influential enterprise in the industry; Ling Xue's Internet cafe also became a local Internet celebrity check-in spot, and its reputation spread far and wide. But just when everything seemed to be going smoothly, a sudden change broke the peace.

Without warning, a fire swept through the block where Ling Xue's internet cafe was located, and the raging flames devoured everything. When Ling Xue arrived at the scene, she looked at the ruins and burst into tears. Years of hard work were wasted, and she felt that the whole world collapsed in an instant. After Zhou Xing learned the news, he rushed to Ling Xue's side and held her hand tightly: "Don't be afraid, Ling Xue, let's rebuild together. As long as people are here, everything can be built again."

With Zhou Xing's help, Ling Xue regained her spirits. Together, they went to apply for loans, find venues, and purchase equipment. This time, Ling Xue was no longer fighting alone, and Zhou Xing became her strongest support. The two worked together to build a new Internet cafe, which was more luxurious and intelligent than before, equipped with the most advanced virtual reality equipment and immersive game experience area, becoming the city's leading high-end Internet cafe.

As the days go by, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue are still busy and struggling in the world of the Internet. Their story is like an exciting piece of music, playing in the hustle and bustle of the city, inspiring everyone who has an Internet dream to move forward bravely. Whether it is sticking together in the face of difficulties or working together in the face of opportunities, they interpret the power of friendship and persistence with their actions, leaving their brilliant footprints in this vast Internet wave.

As time goes by, Zhou Xing stands in front of the huge French window in the company's high-level conference room, looking at the busy streets outside the window, and his thoughts drift back to the days he spent with Ling Xue. Ling Xue is busy shuttling around in the new Internet cafe, occasionally stopping to look at the photo of herself and Zhou Xing on the wall, with a warm smile on her lips. They know that there are still countless unknowns in the future Internet world waiting for them to explore and conquer, but as long as they accompany each other, the wind and rain can also become a boost for moving forward. They will continue to walk firmly on this dream-chasing road and write more glorious chapters.

Then, he went into the kitchen to prepare a dish he was good at - braised pork in red sauce. The camera followed him from cutting meat to blanching, to finally... After years of struggling in the hustle and bustle of the city, Zhou Xing finally saved up a considerable amount of money. Looking at the city with tall buildings, his heart was increasingly concerned about his hometown far away - the place with green mountains and clear waters, simple folks, where he carried his childhood laughter and dreams, and the expectant eyes of his elderly parents. So, he resolutely embarked on the road back home, with a vision of a better life in the future and a passion to contribute to his hometown.

When he returned to his hometown, what caught his eye was the slightly dilapidated old house. The traces of time carved a vicissitude on the mottled walls and the aging roof, but this made Zhou Xing feel very familiar. He decided to renovate the old house, which could not only create a comfortable living environment for himself, but also contribute to the construction of his hometown.

The renovation process was full of hardships and challenges. Zhou Xing used the architectural knowledge and craftsmanship he learned in the city to dismantle and rebuild the buildings himself. From designing drawings to selecting materials, he strived for perfection in every link. When the first rays of sunlight fell in the morning, he carried his tools and started his day's work; when night fell, he studied the construction plan under the dim light. The old bricks and tiles that were knocked off seemed to be the notes of his dialogue with his hometown, and every new brick and stone embodied his expectations for the new look of his hometown.

By chance, Zhou Xing filmed the process of renovating his house and shared it online. Unexpectedly, these real and life-like videos quickly attracted a large number of fans. They were moved by Zhou Xing's love and persistence for his hometown, and they envied the rural idyllic living environment he created with his own hands. In the comment area, the fans' encouragement and support poured in like a tide, which made Zhou Xing feel an unprecedented sense of accomplishment and responsibility.

At this time, neighbor Ling Xue came into Zhou Xing's life. Ling Xue was a hardworking and capable girl. Her family planted a large number of figs. Under her careful care, the fig trees flourished and bore abundant fruits. However, due to the remote location and limited sales channels, a large number of ripe figs could only be watched rotting in the fields, which became Ling Xue's biggest worry.

After Zhou Xing learned about this, he took the initiative to find Ling Xue and offered to help her sell figs through live streaming. Ling Xue was a little hesitant at first, as she was worried that she had no experience and was afraid to face the camera. But with Zhou Xing's encouragement and help, she gradually put aside her concerns.

The two began to work closely together. Zhou Xing used his popularity on the online platform to promote Ling Xue's figs. He produced a series of vivid and interesting videos, showing the whole process of figs from planting to picking, telling about the rich nutritional value and unique taste of figs, and sharing some delicious recipes made with figs. Ling Xue was responsible for providing high-quality products, ensuring that every fig was fresh, plump and of high quality. She also worked hard to learn live broadcasting skills, gradually becoming confident and generous in front of the camera, and won the love of many netizens with her simple smile and sincere attitude.

With the development of live broadcasting, their business gradually got on the right track. Orders came in like snowflakes, not only from local customers, but also from many netizens from other places to taste fresh figs. The originally quiet mountain village suddenly became lively, with express delivery vehicles entering and leaving the village every day, delivering boxes of figs full of hope. Seeing the success of Zhou Xing and Ling Xue, the villagers were also inspired and began to think about how to use the characteristic resources of their hometown to develop industries.

In order to improve the yield and quality of figs, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue worked together to study planting techniques. They invited agricultural experts to the village to teach fruit farmers advanced planting experience and management methods. At the same time, they also organized a cooperative to unite scattered fruit farmers, unify standards, brands, and sales, and achieve large-scale operations. This not only increased the income of fruit farmers, but also enhanced their market competitiveness.

Thanks to their efforts, the fig industry in the small mountain village has grown bigger and bigger, becoming a local specialty. The originally barren hillside is now full of fig trees, which are green and fragrant in spring and abundant in summer, attracting tourists from all over the world to pick and visit. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue also developed rural tourism projects and built supporting facilities such as farmhouses and homestays, so that tourists can experience the tranquility and beauty of rural life while tasting delicious figs.

As time went by, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue's story spread throughout the surrounding areas and even attracted the attention of some media. They were invited to participate in various entrepreneurial exchange activities and became role models to inspire young people to return to their hometowns to start businesses. In the face of honors and praise, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue always kept a clear head. They knew that all these achievements were inseparable from the nurturing of the land of their hometown and the support and trust of their fellow villagers.

In the noisy corner of this bustling city, the towering high-rise buildings and crisscrossing streets together outline a picture of a fast-paced life. Zhou Xing stood in his not-so-spacious but high-tech office of an Internet company, gazing into the distance through the window. The sun shone on his slightly tired but resolute face, and his thoughts involuntarily drifted back to that innocent high school era, where there was a person named Ling Xue. Her figure was like a touch of elegant white moonlight, always lingering in his heart. Zhou Xing and Ling Xue were high school classmates. They had very different personalities, but they miraculously became good friends. Zhou Xing was calm and introverted, had a strong interest and talent in computers, and often immersed himself in the world of code in his spare time; Ling Xue was lively and cheerful, emitting warmth and vitality like a little sun. She loved painting, and the world under her pen was always colorful.

The days in high school were plain and beautiful. They passed notes secretly in class to discuss problems and shared their visions for the future on the playground. The dreams at that time were simple and pure. Zhou Xing hoped to use his superb programming skills to create an amazing software, while Ling Xue wanted to hold her own art exhibition to let more people see the beautiful world in her heart.

However, time flies, and in the blink of an eye, high school graduation season is here. Faced with the first major decision in life, they went in different directions. With solid professional knowledge and love for network technology, Zhou Xing resolutely embarked on the road of entrepreneurship. With the support of his family and friends, he founded his own network company, focusing on software development and innovation. Under the influence of his family, Ling Xue inherited a small Internet cafe run by his parents.

At first, the road to entrepreneurship was full of thorns. Zhou Xing's company was struggling in the fierce market competition, with funding shortages, talent loss, and technical problems. Countless nights, he sat alone in the dim office, facing the screen full of code, his heart was full of confusion. Whenever he wanted to give up, he would think of Ling Xue's bright smile and encouraging words, as if he had the strength to persevere again. He constantly adjusted his strategy, led the team to fight day and night, gradually gained a foothold in the industry, developed several influential software products, and the company slowly got on the right track.

At the same time, Ling Xue's days running an Internet cafe were not easy. With the popularization and development of the Internet, the traditional Internet cafe industry was facing a huge impact. New Internet cafes were springing up around her, with elegant environments and advanced equipment, attracting a large number of young customers. Ling Xue's Internet cafe had old facilities and simple decoration, and business was getting increasingly quiet. But she was not discouraged by this, as she knew that this was an inevitable trend of the times and that she had to make changes to survive.

Ling Xue began to run around and apply for bank loans to raise funds to update the Internet cafe's equipment. She personally participated in the renovation and design of the Internet cafe, and devoted her efforts to every detail from layout to decoration. In order to improve the quality of service, she also recruited a group of enthusiastic and professional employees and trained them, striving to provide customers with the most comfortable Internet experience. With her efforts, the Internet cafe gradually improved, customer flow slowly recovered, and developed a group of loyal old customers.

Time flies. One day many years later, Zhou Xing's company plans to find suitable partners in various areas of the city to establish offline promotion outlets due to business expansion needs. By chance, Zhou Xing learned that the area where Ling Xue's Internet cafe was located was exactly the area they focused on investigating. When he stood at the door of the newly renovated Internet cafe, he was filled with an indescribable excitement.

The sign of the Internet cafe sparkled in the sunshine. Walking into the store, the spacious and bright hall, rows of brand-new high-end computer equipment, comfortable and soft sofa seats, and the art paintings drawn by Ling Xue on the wall were eye-catching. Zhou Xing looked at all this, and the image of the girl with dreams emerged in his mind. Now she has grown into a strong woman who can stand on her own. He couldn't help but feel relieved and emotional.

"Hi, Zhou Xing, I didn't expect to see you here." Ling Xue's voice came from behind. Zhou Xing turned around and saw that she was still wearing that bright smile. The years didn't seem to have left too many traces on her face, but she looked more mature and confident.

"Ling Xue, long time no see. Your Internet cafe has changed a lot, it's really great!" Zhou Xing exclaimed sincerely.

The two smiled at each other, as if they were back in high school. They sat down and talked about their experiences and changes over the years, from their youthful dreams to the hardships of starting a business, from the trivialities of life to their future plans, with endless topics to talk about.

"You know what, Zhou Xing? When I chose to take over the Internet cafe, many people didn't understand and thought it was a sunset industry. But I don't think so. I think an Internet cafe is not just a place to provide Internet services, it is also a social platform, a place where young people can gather together to communicate and relax. As long as we can keep up with the pace of the times and continue to innovate, it still has value." Ling Xue said with a firm look in her eyes.

Zhou Xing nodded and agreed: "You are right. Every industry has its room for development. The key lies in how to explore and grasp it. Just like the Internet industry I am currently working in, although the competition is fierce, as long as we work hard, we can always find our own space."

As the communication deepened, Zhou Xing came up with an idea. He proposed a cooperation plan to Ling Xue, hoping to use the Internet cafe's platform to promote the company's network products, while also providing more special services and technical support for the Internet cafe to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results. After hearing this, Ling Xue's eyes sparkled with excitement. She had always longed for Internet cafes to have more development opportunities, and Zhou Xing's proposal was exactly what she wanted.

So, the two began to discuss the details of the cooperation together.
