Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Gu Muxue: [@Xue Rui, you speak.]

Xue Rui: [I second the motion.]

At the same time as he sent the message, he said to Lin Ruoxi in the WeChat voice: "Xixi, you can raise other opinions if you have any. I still have the final say at home."

While Xue Rui was speaking these "big words", he pressed down hard on the microphone on Gu Muxue's side with his fingers.

Although he did not have Lin Ruoxi's computer skills to modify the software, he had his own methods.

Physical shielding is much more reliable than software.

High-end hackers often use the simplest methods.

"Yes, your majesty has the final say."

Lin Ruoxi shouted crisply, thinking that Xue Rui was playing a new role again today, and she wanted to play with Xue Rui for a while longer.

"Hehe." Xue Rui couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth when he heard the voice. Most of the time, his role in front of Gu Muxue was Little Ruizi, but in front of Lin Ruoxi, he could get whatever he wanted.

The feeling of being looked up to by a girl is simply irresistible. The little girl will satisfy his little vanity...

If Lin Ruoxi whispers in his ear again and asks him to do something, will he refuse?
The answer is: Even a hero can't resist the temptation of beauty~

The real beauty trap does not rely on a beautiful appearance to bewitch people, but takes advantage of the weaknesses of human nature. It is an open conspiracy.

When he was going to review programming languages, Lin Ruoxi picked up a thick stack of books;
He likes games, and Lin Ruoxi reminds him of the cooldown time of his opponent's skills;
Even if he glanced at the cosplayers on the street for a second longer, Lin Ruoxi would keep it in mind and buy him different kinds of clothes to wear.

It seems that Lin Ruoxi depends on him, but in fact he has long been unable to leave this silly girl.

Come to think of it, Gu Muxue had also experienced all of this.

Lin Ruoxi stayed with Gu Muxue with the intention of "atonement" and devoted herself to studying Gu Muxue's preferences. Before going to the temple, she even looked up what the various Bodhisattvas in Buddhism were in charge of...

Xue Rui felt the same way. Who could hold a grudge against a humble little girl?

Especially when Lin Ruoxi once dressed up as a bear and used her unique position in Gu Muxue's heart to break through Gu Muxue's psychological defenses in disguise, giving the girl's already fragile heart a heavy blow.

He actually felt sorry for the little girl. No matter who was "targeted" by Lin Ruoxi, he would be left with an indelible mark.

However, on the surface, he still had to appear extremely resistant. After all, this was one of the few leverages he had over the girl.

"Your Majesty?" Lin Ruoxi's voice came again.

"Xixi, stop joking. Tell me what you think."

Xue Rui passed over the joke. He didn't want Lin Ruoxi to ask him who the queen was, even though the little girl wouldn't ask.

"Well, I have no objection to anything that's good for you." Lin Ruoxi said slowly.

"Me?" Xue Rui came back to his senses. The rules that Gu Muxue just mentioned would only restrict Gu Muxue herself...

Lin Ruoxi is so weak that even Da Huang’s voice is louder than hers.

He considered himself to be of mild temperament and had never swore in front of the two women, so this rule would not restrict him.

Therefore, Gu Muxue's rules are tantamount to shooting oneself in the foot.

As a vested interest, Xue Rui naturally would not remind Gu Muxue.

"Little night owl, it's already this late, won't your talking disturb the old lady's sleep?"

Xue Rui thought that the elderly go to bed early, and the old lady sleeps very lightly, so where is the little girl making the phone call?

Just as he finished speaking, he heard a strange woman's voice coming from the other end of the phone: "Girl, it's so cold in the corridor..."

I don’t know if Lin Ruoxi turned off the microphone, the sound suddenly stopped.

A picture suddenly flashed through Xue Rui's mind. The little girl was wearing a thick down jacket, curled up in the dim corridor and talking to him...

"Xixi, are you stupid? Go back to sleep."

Xue Rui's tone was very serious, because Lin Ruoxi had a high fever last night and was freezing outside at this time.

You really don't take care of your body.

"Well, I... I'm stupid, please don't be angry, okay?" Lin Ruoxi hurriedly admitted her mistake.

She just wanted to chat for a while before Xue Rui went to sleep.

Listening to Lin Ruoxi's trembling voice, Xue Rui didn't know whether the little girl was cold or scared.

His tone softened: "Xixi, be obedient and go back to sleep. I won't hang up."

"Well, good night." Lin Ruoxi's soft voice came.

Xue Rui pressed the mute button, loosened the headset he was holding so tightly that he was sweating, and said softly, "Mu Xue, go to bed early."

However, all he got was a muffled whisper.

"Ah."

Gu Muxue was very tired after a day's journey, so she answered unconsciously.

Xue Rui listened to the subtle background noise and murmurs coming from both earphones, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He had thought about holding one in each of his arms, and hearing the gentle whispers in his ears...

Who would have thought that it would be achieved using a cyberpunk approach?

……

A few days later, it was Tuesday.

Shanghai, miHoYo headquarters.

On the originally scheduled date for negotiation, Xue Rui was still visiting miHoYo.

"This is our art director..."

Xue Rui forced a smile. He went to two business dinners over the weekend and found that miHoYo's attitude towards them was ambiguous. They refused to talk about investment and just kept introducing their games.

At this time, miHoYo has temporarily escaped its financial difficulties due to the launch of Honkai Impact 2, but it still needs external assistance.

Xue Rui felt that he came too late and missed the good time for them to tighten their belts. MiHoYo was not very hungry at the moment.

However, Boss Cai personally received him for a visit, which proved their attitude.

"As the new generation becomes more tolerant, there will be more and more users who like ACG games in the future..."

"I agree with that."

Xue Rui nodded. Although he didn't play MiYo, it didn't stop him from watching others play.

In his previous life, his family was a shareholder of miHoYo, and his useless sister, who is already a graduate student, still draws cards every day.

What kind of figurine, Gu Zi...

There were only words he couldn't understand.

"This is our art director."

Following Boss Cai's introduction, a young man wearing glasses stood up and nodded.

The ones who listened most attentively were Qingfeng and Li Bin who were accompanying us.

Xue Rui glanced at the computer screen and became serious for once.

The main reason is that the 2D girls on the screen don’t have many clothes and they don’t feel cold even in the winter.

"Mr. Cai, I think your idea is too idealistic. Games must ensure that the devices of most people can run smoothly. Whether it is a casual or competitive game, free players are also a resource for paying players. A game that is too exquisite may not be a good thing."

Qingfeng put forward his own views.

Xue Rui shook his head: "Once the two-dimensional IP is promoted, it's all about making money. Look at the otakus in Japan, they donate a bag of blood just to get anime peripherals." "Mr. Xue really knows a lot, that's the truth." The art director's eyelids twitched when he heard this.

It's just too harsh to hear. Why does it sound like they are sucking people's hard-earned money?
Qingfeng pulled Xue Rui and whispered, "Xue Rui, although your words are rough, your words are too fucking rough."

"This is our staff lounge..."

Boss Cai smiled, made a "please" gesture, and led a few people to continue walking forward.

"Mr. Cai, we were there yesterday. I wonder what you are hesitating about?"

Xue Rui didn't understand. He had extremely vertical promotion channels and a large amount of cash. It was hard to find investors who could give him money and resources, so why did you choose him?
At worst, you just don’t invest. You are not short of money. There are many potential stocks that are short of money. He even has one in his own family.

"Xue Rui, game companies are very cautious about investors. If you are not careful, their content decisions may be influenced by others." Qingfeng reminded.

Xue Rui's expression froze. He really didn't know much about the gaming industry. At that time, making games was just a way to make quick money, and putting on airs was just a way to get a good deal.

However, MiHoYo's cautious attitude towards capital proves that the company is pursuing its dreams.

"That makes sense. Professional matters should be left to professionals. I hate it most when laymen guide professionals." Xue Rui nodded.

Anyone who has some aspirations would not want to be constrained by an outsider and feel frustrated in everything they do.

"From the accent, Mr. Xue is from Guanzhong?" Boss Cai said in a relaxed tone, no longer on guard.

Their company has just recovered this year, and he was a bit too cautious towards investors.

But seeing Xue Rui's bold attitude, he couldn't help but feel fond of him.

"From Jin Province." Xue Rui said with a smile.

"Coal boss?" Boss Cai joked.

Xue Rui smiled and said, "There is no coal in southern Shanxi. Mr. Cai, you have a stereotype."

"No, I'm talking about Mr. Xue's attitude. I've heard many people say that coal bosses respect talent and never interfere with creative work when investing in the entertainment industry."

The few of them chatted and laughed, allowing the legal departments of both sides to have their first contact, and tentatively scheduled to negotiate the amount and share division in two days.

When it was lunch time, Xue Rui took Li Bin out to eat again.

"Mr. Xue, I won't go. The team has a lot of things to prepare." Li Bin said guiltily.

"Let them work, let's eat first." Xue Rui pulled Li Bin away.

"I'm going to the bathroom first." Li Bin said, holding his stomach.

Xue Rui's repeated "special treatments" made him always worried.

He knew too many of Xue Rui's "secrets", and his family had conflicts with Xue Rui. Compared with Xue Rui's so-called "care from fellow villagers", he believed that Xue Rui had bad intentions towards him.

Nowadays, there is no one around him that he can rely on, his colleagues' words are full of sarcasm, and he has no idea of ​​Xue Rui's attitude.

Now he has been marginalized in the workplace and doesn't know what to do in the future.

He really wanted to ask Lin Ruoxi what kind of person Xue Rui was, but he didn't even have Lin Ruoxi's phone number...

Now the only people he can turn to for help are his family, after all, his father had contact with Xue Rui.

Walking into the bathroom, Li Bin called his father.

"Binbin."

After the call was connected, Li Bin heard a familiar voice coming from the phone, and he, a grown man, suddenly felt a lump in his throat.

How come this big city can't accommodate a nobody like him?
"Dad, Xue Rui and I are in Shanghai. He is my boss now. I also met Xixi and a fellow villager from Hedong..."

Li Bin told his father everything that had happened in the past few days, hoping that his father would help him analyze it.

Although his father was not well educated, now that I think about it, although his father did not have any great abilities in his life, whenever the family encountered problems, his father always found a way to overcome the difficulties.

"You call this a secret?" Li Jiansheng chuckled when he heard that, thinking what kind of secret is this.

"Don't you think it counts? He must be afraid of ruining his reputation." Li Bin asked back.

"Binbin, you are still young. Do you know what the villagers would say if something like this happened in our village?" Li Jiansheng said calmly.

"Call him Chen Shimei." Li Bin said while covering the phone, afraid that someone would hear.

"No, you would say that Boss Xue is capable and has two wives," Li Jiansheng corrected.

"What I see in the village are people who are jealous of the rich and despise the poor, and gossip about others behind their backs..." Li Bin was confused.

“The villagers only compare themselves with the people around them. When the gap is too big, they don’t get jealous but admire from the bottom of their hearts.

Besides, Boss Xue is a kind man. He donated a road to our village. Our family has saved a lot of money in recent years thanks to that road. I prefer him to help you."

Li Jiansheng analyzed the reasons to his son bit by bit.

"Dad, you don't understand things at work. If he wanted to help me, he shouldn't have marginalized me." Li Bin sighed.

Li Jiansheng was silent for a long time. He felt that his son was just naive, but not stupid enough to distinguish between good and evil. There might be other reasons.

After a moment of silence, Li Jiansheng said in a commanding tone: "You should work for another company and don't stay with him anymore."

"If I quit, my internship period will have to be calculated from the beginning, and if he finds a way to tamper with my resume, it will be difficult for me to survive in this industry."

Li Bin's tone was bitter. It's not that he hadn't thought about it, but the cost was too high.

"Binbin, I didn't want to say this, but have you always liked Xixi?" Li Jiansheng asked calmly.

"Dad, I...I didn't, don't talk nonsense." Li Bin stuttered.

"Boss Xue has good intentions. He only built the road for our village as a side job. That road actually leads to the Lin family cemetery. We have received a favor from him. Even if there is no Boss Xue, there will be another Boss Zhang or Boss Wang..."

"Xixi has been from a different world from us since she was born. Boss Xue is not targeting you. Others may not have his tolerance. Maybe he is giving you a chance. Don't be so stubborn."

Li Jiansheng said a few words of comfort and hung up the phone.

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Li Bin couldn't calm down for a long time.

It turns out that my father, who has always been honest and simple, knows everything. I didn't say anything before because I was afraid of hurting his self-esteem...

What his father meant was that Xue Rui was not targeting him, but was giving him a chance to show his loyalty?
If you give in, you can get a lot, money, status...

But he was unwilling to give in.

Why?
Just because the person he has a crush on is Xue Rui’s girlfriend?

He was the one who knew Lin Ruoxi earlier, but it was just a secret crush on her. Doesn’t he even deserve this right?
The more Li Bin thought about it, the angrier he became. He punched the toilet door to vent the inexplicable frustration in his heart.

"Are you sick? Why are you smashing the door? I was so scared that I almost couldn't hold it in!"

There was an angry roar from a strange man outside the door.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Li Bin apologized hurriedly. He waited until the man's footsteps left the toilet before he carefully stuck his head out.

After adjusting his mood, he straightened his tie in front of the mirror, not wanting anyone to notice that he was different.

When he passed by his colleague's table, he wanted to move closer, but the voices of several people were deliberately raised:
"Today in the Legal Department, President Xue specifically asked him to say a few more words, but he didn't say a word. Giving him the chance was useless."

"Oh, the quality of college graduates these days is getting lower and lower. You can graduate with anything."

……

Li Bin clenched his fists, veins on his forehead bulged slightly. He decided to find Xue Rui and resign immediately, no matter what the cost.

"A real man doesn't eat what he complains about."

Li Bin roared in his heart. (End of this chapter)
