Rekindling the Youthful Era

Chapter 797 Don't ask too many questions, just tell me if you want it or not.
Monday morning, November 27th.

Li Luo gradually woke up from her warm dream, and in her drowsy state, she felt a kiss on her face.

He thought he was dreaming and didn't pay attention, but soon he was kissed again.

Someone stole my kiss...

Li Luo instinctively wanted to open her eyes, but considering that it was the right side of her cheek that had been kissed, she realized who it was.

So he calculated the intervals between each kiss, silently counting the seconds after being kissed again, and then immediately turned his head to the right, precisely capturing the soft lips.

"Well!"

"Ah……"

Li Luo chuckled and pinched Ying Chanxi's blushing cheek, whispering, "Sneaking a kiss first thing in the morning, how naughty!"

"No..." Ying Chanxi replied softly, blushing, "Why did you suddenly turn your head?"

"I want to see who stole a kiss from me."

"You've been awake for a long time?"

"I've been awake for a while."

"Then why don't you open your eyes?"

"I want to see which wicked woman is so evil that she would secretly do this while a fine young man is fast asleep." Li Luo chuckled and pulled Ying Chanxi into his arms, teasing her as he breathed hot air into her ear, "You kissed her seven times, were you really that into it?"

"You...you woke up so early?" Ying Chanxi's cheeks flushed red, and she couldn't help but pout. "You're entrapping me, aren't you?"

"Do you even know what entrapment means?" Li Luo chuckled. "It only counts if I deliberately seduce you. If I just lie here with my eyes closed and sleep, does that count as entrapment?"

Of course it counts... After all, whenever she sees Li Luo's profile, she can't help but want to kiss him... But Ying Chanxi definitely wouldn't say that out loud.

So she could only groan softly, burying her blushing face in Li Luo's shoulder, refusing to look at him.

Li Luo held Ying Chanxi's delicate body in his arms, stopped teasing her, reached for his phone, and glanced at the time. There were still a few minutes until six o'clock.

He didn't rush to get up, but opened Douyin and glanced at it.

Ying Chanxi had already looked up again, leaning on Li Luo's shoulder, and looked at the phone with him: "Do you want to see your Douyin followers? How many have you gained?"

“Over three million.” Li Luo smiled with satisfaction. “We gained so many followers in just one weekend. This collaboration was definitely worth it.”

"I got some advertising resources from Aunt Yuan's studio yesterday, and I'll try to connect with them in the meantime," Ying Chanxi said softly. "I'm also keeping an eye on the company's renovation."

"Around the beginning of next month, some of the offices will be available for use. At that time, I will take my employees and start business by acquiring advertising resources."

"This is to let everyone get familiar with the work and get the company running smoothly."

"Oh right, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you."

"What?" Li Luo glanced at Yan Zhusheng's follower count again, which had also quickly surpassed three million, leaving only tens of thousands behind him.

At this rate, I estimate he'll surpass me in the next couple of days.

“It’s about Attorney Tian,” Ying Chanxi whispered. “Attorney Tian told me that he plans to open his own law firm soon.”

“Last time I asked him if he had any suitable candidates for the legal department.”

"After he learned that we were planning to seriously build the company, he analyzed it for me and suggested that I could outsource the legal and accounting work in the early stages."

After hearing what Ying Chanxi said, Li Luo understood what Attorney Tian meant.

After all, if Ying Chanxi really hired legal staff himself, then he would basically no longer need to hire Attorney Tian.

For Attorney Tian, ​​who has been working with Li Luo for several years, the sudden loss of this source of business revenue would certainly make her want to retain him.

However, from the company's perspective, Attorney Tian's statement is not wrong.

Although their rekindled culture has been established for many years, they have only just begun to officially start operating as a company.

Ying Chanxi initially plans to recruit no more than twenty employees. If legal and accounting staff are excluded, the number will be even smaller.

In the early stages of such a company, outsourcing can indeed be more convenient.

It will also save you money.

"You can make the decision on this." Li Luo didn't care about this aspect, after all, she had been working with Attorney Tian for a long time, and their relationship was essentially that of legal outsourcing.

The team worked well together.

The company is currently in its initial stage and has no plans to expand its scale for the time being, so continuing the outsourcing relationship is not out of the question.

This will also alleviate some of the pressure and burden on Ying Chanxi's company management.

It's not too late to consider staffing for legal and accounting matters once Ying Chanxi's actual capabilities and standards have improved and Reign Culture has begun to expand continuously.

Ying Chanxi leaned against Li Luo's chest and nodded gently, having already made up her mind.

At this moment, Li Luo had already opened Yuan Wanqing's Douyin account.

The number of followers shown above has exceeded 15 million!

Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng combined don't even have half as many fans as Yuan Wanqing.

This is the skill of a top-tier singer...

This is because Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng joined Douyin at the same time as Yuan Wanqing and appeared together in the same live broadcast room.

Otherwise the gap would be even larger.

Li Luo had no objection to this; the more popular Yuan Wanqing became, the better. After all, next year, the contract between Yuan Wanqing's studio and Huayue Film & Television would expire, and she would then be affiliated with Chongran Culture.

When Li Luo was first reborn, he never imagined he would end up like this...

I originally planned to write some online novels to earn some pocket money, and then slowly consider investing in stocks after I grew up, so that I could live a comfortable life once I had enough money to be financially independent.

As a result, step by step, we've arrived at this point today.

It just goes to show how unpredictable life can be.

Li Luo put his arm around Ying Chanxi's shoulder and patted her gently. He turned his head and glanced at the three girls beside him, feeling inexplicably sentimental.

For him, this is the best outcome.

Besides that, he had no other desires.

Thinking of this, Li Luo couldn't help but turn his head and kiss Ying Chanxi.

"What are you doing..." Ying Chanxi said, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly as she muttered to herself.

Li Luo smiled, thinking of his childhood sweetheart, whom he had been estranged from in his previous life, now leaning against him, and he felt incredibly content.

"It's time to get up," Li Luo said softly. "Why don't you wake up your senior?"

"Hmm." Ying Chanxi nodded, finally leaving Li Luo's embrace, and turned to look at Xu Youyu, who was still fast asleep.

Li Luo turned around and patted Yan Zhusheng's cheek: "Zhusheng, wake up."

"I can't get up without a kiss," Yan Zhusheng said with her eyes closed. "...When did you wake up?"

"You can only get up after seven kisses." Yan Zhusheng didn't answer, but it seemed like she did answer.

Li Luo couldn't help but chuckle, and reached out his finger to tap her cheek seven times.

Yan Zhusheng immediately opened her eyes, only to see that it was Li Luo's finger. She immediately showed a dissatisfied expression: "Li Luo, you lied to me."

"You're easier to fool."

the other side.

Ying Chanxi had gently shaken Xu Youyu awake.

"Hey senior, wake up! It's time to go for a morning run with us."

"Ugh...no...let me sleep a little longer." Xu Youyu turned over, buried her head under the pillow like an ostrich, her whole body filled with resistance.

"Didn't we agree on this yesterday?" Ying Chanxi said helplessly, removing the pillow. "Look, it's happening again. When are you going to change your habit of sleeping in?"

"Waaaaah~ Spare my life~ Let me sleep a little longer~" Xu Youyu writhed on the bed like a maggot, making strange moans and groans. "How about I go run again tomorrow? Let's skip today."

"We'll talk about tomorrow's problems tomorrow. You can't go back on your word today." Ying Chanxi shook Xu Youyu's body a few times, making her breasts heave.

Xu Youyu was so shaken that he was almost wide awake, so he had no choice but to open his eyes. He lay there like a salted fish on the scorching asphalt, completely lifeless.

"Ah...I'm dead..."

"Stop dawdling." Li Luo chuckled as he watched Xu Youyu's performance, pinched her cheek, and said with a smile, "You're already awake, so don't sleep anymore, come with us for a morning run."

"I think I saw my own soul wandering... Ah!"

As Xu Youyu was speaking, Li Luo came to the bedside, scooped her up in a princess carry, and lifted her up so that her whole body floated.

Her soul naturally returned to her body.

"You scared me to death! You didn't even tell me beforehand," Xu Youyu said, hugging Li Luo's neck.

"Are you awake now?" Li Luo chuckled as he carried Xu Youyu into the bathroom.

The two younger sisters followed behind and went into the bathroom to wash up.

It's really rare to see four people crammed into one bathroom to wash up like this.

With Xu Youyu, whose schedule is rather irregular, around, it's really difficult for the four of them to get together.

“Once we move to the villa, the master bedroom’s bathroom will be much more spacious, and it won’t be as cramped as it is now,” Ying Chanxi said as she was being jostled around by Xu Youyu and Yan Zhusheng.

"Squeezing in a little isn't so bad, actually." Xu Youyu chuckled, then hugged Ying Chanxi tightly after brushing her teeth, giving her a quick kiss. "Xixi, do you dislike me?"

"No way..." Ying Chanxi's cheeks were squeezed so hard they felt soft. She couldn't help but glance at Xu Youyu beside her, then looked down at him again, and secretly snorted in her heart.

But then she looked at Yan Zhusheng on the other side and let out a pleasant hum.

After Li Luo and her three best friends finished washing up and changing their clothes, the four of them set off.

Heading towards the south gate of Qianjiang University, Xu Youyu walked with a proud and confident stride, his head held high.

Li Luo, who was standing next to her, glanced at her and immediately chuckled, saying, "Anyone who didn't know better would think you were going to participate in some international marathon."

"What are you talking about?" Xu Youyu rolled her eyes at him. "I've finally come out of seclusion, what's wrong with being a little high-spirited?"

"That's the spirit." Li Luo patted her shoulder and encouraged her with a smile, "Keep it up, we'll continue tomorrow."

"Let's continue!" Xu Youyu, who was at his most stubborn before the performance even started, raised his chin, snorted, and readily agreed.

The four of them arrived at the starting point of the morning run at the South Gate. After scanning their faces at the checkpoint, they officially faced the sunshine and started jogging.

Xu Youyu had only run a short distance when he was already panting heavily, his face flushed, and he was completely exhausted.

Dragged along by Li Luo and the others, Xu Youyu barely managed to complete the face scan at the last checkpoint before collapsing completely onto Li Luo's shoulder.

"I'm going to die...I'm going to die..."

"Don't stop, walk around a bit." Li Luo supported Xu Youyu's arm, looking at her weak appearance with a mix of amusement and exasperation. "If you could keep going like this for a month, you definitely wouldn't be this tired after the run."

"It's one thing to die once in a while, but do you want me to die for thirty days straight?" Xu Youyu said, panting angrily.

"If you can hold out for thirty days, you'll be immortal," Li Luo said with a chuckle. "Isn't that a good reward?"

"Hmph, shut up." Xu Youyu pouted and snorted, then whispered in Li Luo's ear when Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng weren't paying attention, "This counts as paying back interest once."

"Yes." Li Luo nodded with a smile. "Do we need to continue paying it back tomorrow?"

"It's okay if it only happens once in a while," Xu Youyu quickly grabbed Li Luo's arm and pleaded softly, "Next time, let's repay him in a different way, okay, brother?"

"Then what will you use to pay me back next time?"

"What type and style do you want? I can make it happen." Xu Youyu blinked her eyes, seductively saying, "Just tell me, and I'll go and prepare it."

"I need to think about it."

"What's there to think about?" Xu Youyu whispered seductively in Li Luo's ear, "Do you want a teacher or a student this time?"

"I'm getting a little tired of this kind of thing."

"Then a secretary or a female boss?"

"Didn't we try it before?"

"You've got really high standards. Let me think about it some more." Xu Youyu started racking her brains, then her eyes lit up, and she whispered in Li Luo's ear, "How about the delivery guy and the female customer?"

Li Luo: "...Where did you learn all this from?"

"Don't ask any more questions, just tell me if you want it or not."

"...I can consider it."

Xu Youyu is really good at it; Li Luo can never keep up with her in this regard.

He was clearly the one with the better mental age, but he was always being led by the nose by Xu Youyu.

But it doesn't matter, because once we're in bed, he'll definitely have the upper hand.

Xu Youyu had a mechanism but no physical strength stat, so he was ultimately at a disadvantage on the battlefield and could only be defeated.

"I still need to discuss the collaboration with Miao Yifeng today." After returning home, Ying Chanxi said to Li Luo, "He said yesterday that he was also very interested in your other new songs. What are your plans?"

“We can collaborate, but for now, we can only release ‘Live Hard.’ The other songs will have to wait until next year when we do promotions,” Li Luo said. “If Douyin is really interested, I can also provide some other new songs.”

"Huh? You have a new song?" Ying Chanxi was stunned for a moment.

"Well... these are all songs that are more suitable for the Douyin platform." Li Luo scratched his face a little embarrassedly. "They're pretty catchy, so there's no need for Aunt Yuan or Zhusheng to sing them. We can just sell them to Douyin."

"Hmm... I'll try talking to Miao Yifeng then."
