Rekindling the Youthful Era

Chapter 847 The death of a company may be late, but it will never be absent.

Li Luo had worked out intensely this afternoon, so he was naturally tired by evening.

After saying goodnight to his three beloved wives, he fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

When I woke up again, it was Thursday morning.

At six o'clock in the morning, Li Luo opened her eyes on time. After blinking a couple of times, she was fully awake.

As a result, he sat up and looked around, only to find that Cheng Xin and Bai Haoran were both in bed, while Wen Zexuan's bed was still empty.

Wen Zexuan didn't come back when he went to bed around 10 p.m. last night.

Looks like he's been out all night again. I wonder which little girl he's sleeping on this time.

Just as Li Luo was thinking this, the dormitory door was suddenly pushed open gently.

Wen Zexuan tiptoed in from outside. He originally intended to climb directly onto the bed, but as soon as he reached the bedside, he met Li Luo's eyes, who was sitting on the bed and preparing to get off.

"Hey, good morning!" Li Luo chuckled and waved to him.

Wen Zexuan was startled, but after regaining his senses, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Why did Brother Luo come back to the dorm? Are you overwhelmed by too many girlfriends? Did you run back to the dorm to take refuge?"

Li Luo rolled her eyes at him, then retorted without hesitation, "And you? Which girl did you meet up with last night?"

"Tsk... Let's not talk about that." Wen Zexuan waved his hand, looking unwilling to talk about it, and then climbed into bed, looking like he was going to take a nap.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Xin suddenly peeked out and asked Wen Zexuan, "Where did you sleep yesterday?"

"Damn! They're all terrifying!" Wen Zexuan was startled again and said irritably.

"What time is it?" Bai Haoran, who was also woken up, asked, rubbing his eyes.

"It's just six o'clock," Li Luo replied casually as she got out of bed.

"Oh, I'm up too." Bai Haoran sat up, stretched, and then looked at Wen Zexuan diagonally opposite him. "So what did you do last night?"

"What else can we do?" Wen Zexuan sighed. "Sleep, of course."

"But why do you look like you've been abused?" Li Luo teased with a laugh.

“You’re actually quite right about that.” Wen Zexuan retorted immediately after hearing him say that, “I really have been wasted.”

"Holy crap!" Cheng Xin's eyes widened upon hearing this. "You slept with a guy?"

"Get lost!" Wen Zexuan couldn't help but curse, angrily retorting, "If you can't speak properly, then don't talk nonsense!"

"Well, you said it yourself," Cheng Xin said, scratching his head sheepishly. "Otherwise, how could it have been ruined?"

"Ugh, don't even mention it." Wen Zexuan waved his hand irritably. "What else could it be? He slept with Jiang Lai, that's all."

"Huh?!" Cheng Xin's eyes widened even more upon hearing this, feeling even more surprised than before. "Jiang Lai? You two got back together?!"

"Well..." Wen Zexuan clicked his tongue again, stroking his chin in thought, then looked at Li Luo and asked, "Brother Luo, you have more experience, what do you think this guy is trying to do?"

"What do you mean?" Li Luo was completely confused. "First of all, I don't have much experience. Secondly, you should at least explain the situation clearly."

"Actually, it's just that the two of us took on another advertisement a couple of days ago," Wen Zexuan explained helplessly. "After editing the video and releasing it yesterday, the advertiser confirmed that there were no problems, so it was a successful completion."

"Then I suggested that we go out for a drink to celebrate."

"As a result, they both got a little tipsy, and then... they suggested going to a karaoke bar to sing some songs. And while they were singing... they ended up kissing."

At this point, Wen Zexuan became a little embarrassed and paused before continuing, "We were probably both a bit drunk, and afterwards she was the one who dragged me to a hotel room."

“When I woke up this morning, she said that we are still partners, and that what happened last night was just an accident.”

"What does this mean? Are you trying to take advantage of me for free?"

After hearing his bizarre story, Li Luo couldn't help but twitch her lips, thinking to herself, "What kind of bullshit plot is this?"

Cheng Xin was completely stunned, unable to comprehend such a good thing: "She...she...don't you have to take responsibility?"

“It’s not like we haven’t slept together before.” Wen Zexuan rolled his eyes at him. “We’ve already broken up, what responsibility do you have?”

"What if she wants to get back together but is too embarrassed to tell you?" Cheng Xin asked again. "If she's willing to sleep with you, shouldn't you take the initiative to win her back?"

"What am I supposed to salvage?" Wen Zexuan said speechlessly. "I'm more worried that she'll cling to me like this. What if she uses this to blackmail me and refuses to share the advertising revenue with me?"

Cheng Xin: "...?"

"You can figure this out yourself," Li Luo said, waving his hand dismissively. "The three of us can't help you. Just don't cause any deaths, or it will damage my company's reputation."

Wen Zexuan: "...Is this the cold-bloodedness of capitalists?"

"I suggest you mind your own hot-blooded actions first," Li Luo rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "I'm not going to argue with you anymore, I have to go for my morning run."

"Let's go together." Bai Haoran had already gotten out of bed and turned to look at Cheng Xin and Wen Zexuan. "Do you want to go? I remember Cheng Xin hasn't finished running yet."

"Oh, I'll go too." Cheng Xin nodded quickly and followed.

Exhausted after a long night, Wen Zexuan went straight to sleep, covered himself with the blanket, and waved his hand: "You guys go ahead, just don't regret it. I suggest you don't go for a morning run with Brother Luo."

Cheng Xin didn't understand what Wen Zexuan meant at first, since he hadn't run into Li Luo during his morning runs this semester.

When Cheng Xin finally followed Li Luo out of the Qingxi dormitory gate, he instantly understood Wen Zexuan's advice.

Because waiting at the dormitory entrance were Yan Zhusheng and Ying Chanxi, two girls.

The two of them stood gracefully at the entrance of the dormitory area, naturally attracting the attention of passersby.

Cheng Xin and Bai Haoran were also not immune to this.

The thought that these two angelic girls were Li Luo's girlfriends made Cheng Xin's eyes reveal a look of envy.

"Hello there." Ying Chanxi smiled and waved to Li Luo's two roommates, then looked at Li Luo and asked in confusion, "Where's Sister Yu? Isn't she coming today?"

“I already talked to her last night.” Li Luo glanced at her phone. She hadn’t received a reply to the message she sent to Xu Youyu this morning, so she sent another message: “Let’s wait a little longer.”

[Li Luo]: If you don't come downstairs soon, I'm going to turn on the horn.

[Xu Youyu]: I'm up! I'm brushing my teeth!
[Li Luo]: So you're still lying in bed?
Li Luo surely knows Xu Youyu's personality.

If I were really brushing my teeth, I would have replied to his message long ago, instead of waiting for his urging and threats.

At this moment, Cheng Xin had already pulled Bai Haoran forward, calling out to Li Luo as they walked, "Hey, Brother Luo, Brother Hao and I will head over first, we won't bother you anymore!"

"Oh, bye-bye then." Li Luo waved to the two of them and watched them leave. Then, she led Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng to the building where Xu Youyu's dormitory was located.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Xu Youyu finally appeared.

"I thought you were trying to renege on your debt again." Li Luo couldn't help but chuckle and tease Xu Youyu as she ran up to him.

"You said you'd use a megaphone to call me, how could I not come down?" Xu Youyu rolled her eyes at him, snorted in dissatisfaction, "You just know how to threaten me."

"How could we really shout?" Li Luo led the three girls toward the gate of the dormitory area. "If I shouted through the loudspeaker so early in the morning, I'd probably get beaten to death by the people in the nearby buildings." The four of them chatted as they walked, strolling from the dormitory area to the starting point for morning runs at the south gate.

After scanning his face to check in, Xu Youyu began his third-to-last morning run.

After she finishes running today, she'll only have two more runs left.

“You’ve been very well-behaved these past few days,” Li Luo said as she jogged alongside Xu Youyu. “From Monday to today, Thursday, you’ve been going for a morning run for four days in a row.”

"If I behave well, how will someone reward me?" Xu Youyu had just started running and wasn't particularly tired yet, so she had the energy to joke around with him.

Li Luo smiled and said, "If you can hold on tomorrow and finish the race by next Monday, I'll reward you with whatever you want."

"You said it yourself," Xu Youyu chuckled.

"What reward do you want?"

"I don't know," Xu Youyu shook her head. "Anyway, I'll just save it for now."

"Are you treating this as financial management?"

"Can not be done?"

Xu Youyu and Li Luo were bickering, but soon Xu Youyu started panting heavily, unable to catch his breath and unable to say a word.

"I made plans with my seniors this afternoon," Yan Zhusheng said to Li Luo. "Remember to go to club practice; the New Year's Eve party is in a few days."

"Speaking of which," Ying Chanxi, who was standing nearby, quickly reminded him, "Aren't you guys going to sing the new song from 'The Beginning' this time? I've already notified Douyin, but they haven't sent me your studio version yet."

"Oh, this?" Li Luo nodded and said, "Just ask Aunt Luo Fei for it when you have time, and then remember to have someone record a version on site, and have Zhu Sheng send a video."

"Aren't you going to send it?" Yan Zhusheng turned to look at Li Luo and asked.

"I won't be posting much on my account anymore," Li Luo said with a smile. "Besides some regular promotions for my works, I probably won't use it for anything else."

His current status is different, so it's better to be cautious in this regard.

The internet is such a place where it's easy for people to say something they shouldn't.

For Li Luo, saying more would only lead to more mistakes, so it was better to say less.

If you want to interact with your fans, just visit Yan Zhusheng's live stream.

“Yes, that’s what I think too.” Ying Chanxi nodded in agreement. “Now that you’re the company boss, it’s better to maintain a certain level of sophistication and taste in your account.”

“Some simple, everyday content is sent to Zhusheng.”

"This also helps to differentiate the products."

The three of them chatted about these things, while Xu Youyu, standing beside them, kept up with their relaxed pace.

After completing one lap, Xu Youyu was completely exhausted.

Li Luo helped her to the cafeteria for breakfast, and then Yan Zhusheng drove back to the opposite campus, while Xu Youyu quickly went back to her dormitory for a nap.

As for Ying Chanxi, he naturally took this opportunity to bring Li Luo to the company.

On the one hand, it was a simple report on my work; on the other hand, it was naturally an opportunity to be alone with Li Luo.

"Wait a moment."

Ying Chanxi drove the Audi A8 that Li Luo had given her, parked it in the underground parking garage of the office building in Times Square, and then reached out to stop Li Luo from opening the car door.

The next second, Ying Chanxi unbuckled her seatbelt, leaned out, and climbed onto Li Luo, snuggling into his arms like a soft little kitten.

"What's wrong?" Li Luo smiled and put his arm around her slender waist, one hand supporting her shapely buttocks, the other stroking her back until he reached the top of her head, gently ruffling her soft, long hair. "You missed me that much?"

"Mmm~" Ying Chanxi hummed in his arms, no longer reserved or arrogant, and obediently admitted it. She even tilted her head up and kissed him, and then continued to lean against Li Luo's chest.

The two lingered in the car for a long time, as if they were recharging.

Once the battery was fully charged, Ying Chanxi finally sat up from Li Luo, opened the car door, got out, and said energetically, "Let's go to the company!"

"Young Master Ying looks to be in good spirits," Li Luo chuckled, then got out of the car and closed the door.

The two arrived at the company, and as soon as they entered, Li Luo saw Xiao Wen there as well.

"President Li, President Ying." Xiaowen greeted them quickly upon seeing them.

After nodding in greeting, Li Luo asked curiously, "What are you doing here?"

"Ruan Lin came to the live stream to reshoot a short video recording, just a voice-over," Xiao Wen explained. "After recording, she went to the film set."

Recently, Ruan Lin has been busy filming "The Beginning" on set.

However, Douyin also launched a promotional campaign for the original cast of "A Little Reunion" to join the platform, so Ruan Lin also had to cooperate by shooting some videos.

In addition, Ying Chanxi also went with the flow, taking advantage of the traffic boosted by Douyin, and had Xiaowen film many behind-the-scenes clips of Ruan Lin's daily life on set.

Then, some parts that could be revealed to the public were edited out and posted on Ruan Lin's Douyin account.

This can also be seen as a way to generate buzz for the release of "The Beginning".

So far, the results seem to be quite good.

After learning about it, Li Luo nodded, showing great trust in Ying Chanxi's abilities.

After learning about Ying Chanxi's recent situation at the company, Li Luo spent a long time cuddling with Ying Chanxi in the office.

It wasn't until 9:30 a.m. that he went to Zhao Rongjun's office again to inquire about the software for the poverty relief scholarship.

Currently, the progress is going well, and it is estimated that the overall testing and adjustments will be completed next week, reaching the level where it can be put into normal use.

After chatting briefly with Zhao Rongjun and asking Xu Yinghuan how her Douyin account was doing, Li Luo said goodbye and left around 10 o'clock to attend her elective class.

Xu Youyu, who had taken a nap in the dormitory, arrived at the classroom on time and sat down with Li Luo in the corner seats.

As the penultimate elective course on online literature this semester, only two students have yet to give their presentations.

After the first student finished their presentation, Teacher Si Huanian glanced at the list and said, "Next, Jiang Feiya, please come up to the stage."

Upon hearing her name called, Jiang Feiya immediately stood up, walked to the podium, and inserted her USB drive into the computer.

When her PPT was successfully presented to everyone, Xu Youyu, who was sitting in the audience, felt her heart skip a beat when she saw the title on the PPT.

[Analysis of the plot of "The Literary Era," and a study of the plagiarism genre in the context of the story's historical background]

The title came out.

Xu Youyu was completely dumbfounded.
