Rebirth 08: Equipment God

Chapter 461 How do you plan to handle the romance storyline?
Upon hearing Lu Siwen's words, Zhai Da paused slightly.

The story of "Utopia" is actually a good story.

There were moments of inexplicable confusion, and moments of youthful laughter and playfulness.
The story of a group of young people from a small town who, after receiving either satisfactory or disappointing results from the college entrance examination, blossom in different ways during the summer vacation.

Just a slight recollection brought a smile to her lips.

It's a pity that as a writer, he couldn't write the content himself.

According to industry practice, if you suffer hardships, fight illness, live in a cowshed and cut pig feed, you can use yourself as a model.

Conversely, when you achieve something, reap a great harvest, or experience something truly enjoyable, you can write about others, or others can write about you, but you can't write about yourself.

It's become a bit too much like Versailles.

Even after winning the award, Mo Sang didn't write "I Became Rich Overnight and Achieved Financial Freedom After Winning the Award." Instead, he wrote about spiritual suffering and the cherry blossoms of his hometown.

And then there was his observant mother.

Zhai Da is not averse to the ability to transform the story of "utopia" into a work that will be passed down for generations. Perhaps fifty years from now, he will still find it interesting to look at again.

If a writer had to be chosen to complete the work, Lu Siwen would be a suitable candidate, considering his closeness to the characters, his relationships with other utopians, and his writing ability.
Zhai Da: "How do you plan to handle the romance storyline?"

Lu Siwen froze, the yellow hem of her skirt hitting her calf as she braked suddenly, outlining Zhai Da's familiar silhouette.

Oh right, how could I forget about the romance storyline!
She was only thinking about writing about the inspiring stories of her hometown friends who, under the guidance of their classmates, "grew upward."
The male lead is undoubtedly Zhai Da, and the female lead...
Am I supposed to write about Sister Lu and Zhai Da?
First, I felt a pang of sadness, as if a small blade of grass that had been secretly growing in a crack in a rock had lost its already limited sunlight.

But then, for some reason, Lu Siwen's face turned red.

Lu Siwen quickly shook his head: "Of course there have to be some changes. The location and the word 'utopia' can't be copied exactly. The same goes for the people."

For example, if I change my name from "Mathematics Girl" to "Literature Girl," will I get attacked?
She gently tapped her forehead with her small, pale hand, as if trying to clear her mind.

Little Deer: The things in my head are getting weirder and weirder.

But it felt so good!

Suddenly, Lu Siwen noticed a pair of bright eyes at the edge of her vision and turned to look.

Tang Xiao Kui: (_).

盯.
Lu Siwen cleared her throat: "I think the core of the story is 'growing together' and 'breaking free from constraints.' Perhaps the focus should be on the changes each person undergoes."

Let's break free from constraints and grow together.
For some reason, vivid images flooded my mind, like a great movie.

Zhai Da felt this was a rather important matter, not something that could be explained in a few words at a market, and suggested, "Why don't you first set up a framework? Most people in Utopia are busy with their own things during the summer vacation, and you'll need to do some interviews and research, but..."

"There's no need to get bogged down in details. As a writer, many 'things I want to write' will pop into my head, but when it comes to actually putting pen to paper, I still have to carefully select them. It's easy to come up with ideas, but the effort and time invested can't be recovered."

For example, when he occasionally can't sleep at night, some wild and imaginative ideas will pop into his head, such as fantasy or science fiction.
"Boss, give me three catties of spare ribs, and cut this piece with more meat in half." As he spoke, Zhai Da picked up the garlic from next door, weighed it in his hand, and squeezed it.

It's a high-quality item, both hard and heavy.

"But just a heads up, the story of Utopia isn't over yet. You can write 'one' first."

Lu Siwen stood with her hands behind her back, her doe-like eyes narrowing into crescent moons: "Then I really look forward to writing 'two' and 'three'."

The beginning: Young people in small towns grow upwards.

Ending: ? ? ?
--------

Having completed the arduous task assigned by Yu Xiaoli, Zhai Da returned home carrying the chopped pork and garlic. Yu Xiaoli examined the quality of the garlic and smiled with satisfaction.

It wasn't a waste of time teaching them.

After that, Zhai Da had nothing to do. The ribs were already chopped, so there was no need for him to show off his knife skills. He simply lay back down on the sofa.

Tang Xiaokui followed Zhai Da wherever he went, sitting at his feet with an ice cream in her arms.

The green mood melted quickly; soon, from biting down to licking up, my fingers were stained green.

Zhai Damo said emotionally, "If it gets everywhere like cola, it won't be as simple as a spanking."

Tang Xiaokui froze: Is there anything harsher than spanking?
This can't be a slap in the face, right?
Zhai Da adjusted his lying position. This girl had some kind of quirk; she always liked to hug his legs.
Did you follow his lead?

I opened the QQ groups on my phone and saw that there wasn't much information in Utopia.

Since Zhai Da issued the "Dongyang Declaration" last year, the atmosphere in Utopia has been tense, lively, serious, and earnest.

In the past six months, during which many changes have taken place in Dongyang, most people have not returned, but have chosen to work hard in their respective cities.

Or rather, to prepare.

Chu Xiang and Xiang You were doing very well at their game company in Shanghai, and at the same time, they were preparing to relocate back to Dongyang. Given the nature of game company work, returning to Dongyang wouldn't significantly impact their "productivity." After all, they'd be sitting in front of a computer all day anyway, so wasn't Dongyang, where they could stay and work on "Hongtu OS," much better?
Moreover, the salary system there is very similar to that of the research institute, with excellent benefits and the staff are quite accepting of the relocation.

If the wages are right, people will go to Africa. What's wrong with Dongyang?

Is it 100% certain? Of course not. There will inevitably be people who don't want to come to a small county town, but when a company makes major decisions, there will always be those who fall behind. We parted amicably and never mistreated our employees.

In addition, Ao Wen's "resource recycling company" in Guangxi Province is also making good progress. This business is similar to "Yue Da Catering". It is deeply tied to the local area, but it can expand to other cities. Under Wu Yue's guidance, it is progressing rapidly.

In the future, Ao Wen hopes to emulate the Wu and Yue regions, with businesses located throughout the country and headquarters in Dongyang.

With "Vietta Catering" as the main body, these three companies plan to establish "Utopia Group" next year.

In a sense, the three companies' businesses are not related; it is more of a spiritual "convergence," which outsiders may even find unwise.

But as Wu Yue said, some bosses make mistakes because of arrogance, some because of gambling and womanizing, and some even steal the company seal after divorce.

For the sake of spiritual fulfillment, we can simply solve any difficulties we encounter; at least for now, no one is afraid.

The three companies already have intertwined shareholdings. Zhai Da owns 51% of "Yue Da" and 40% of "Chu Xiang Wang", while Wu Yue owns 49% of Ao Wen. As for actual operations, they can manage each other independently.

The location has already been chosen; the circular headquarters will have an area specifically for the Utopia Group.

Of course, even in a utopia with many unique features, not all of those teenagers can start a company or become entrepreneurs; the situation for others will be more complicated.

Lin Shuyao, possessed by the spirit of the King of Curry, taught himself Spanish at the School of Foreign Languages. In addition to English and French, he is now proficient in four languages.

She didn't have many opportunities to do business, and she wasn't sure what she could do, so this was the only way for her to improve herself.

Liu Meng has been consistently devoting herself to public welfare projects. She longs to reunite with everyone, but hasn't found a good starting point.

The county magistrate's son, Li Dongdong, opened two milk tea shops in Chengdu, made some money, and wanted to expand.

Some people already have their tickets home, while others are still building their own lives, which is why not many people are returning to Dongyang this summer.

I worry that I am not yet confident enough to appear in my hometown, which has changed so much.

It's worth mentioning that some people went to university, while others went to junior college. The latter have basically completed their studies, while those who went to university were not the geniuses of "π" who could graduate in just six months.

Utopia Group has always been Wu Yue's "grand vision." During the six months that Zhai Da was busy with the implementation of the semiconductor project, Wu Yue has been working tirelessly to create a smooth and excellent "return" for everyone.

In Zhai Da's vision, the research institute is purely technology-driven, always following the path of technology research and development → implementation, while Utopia can involve more service industries.

For example, games, the internet, catering, and entertainment are all possibilities.

Zhai Da looked through the previous chat history in the group. It was three days ago. The content was roughly that Li Dongdong asked Lin Shuyao how the milk tea market was in Beijing and whether everyone drank it.

However, the conversation gradually veered off course, and they started discussing whether the original inventor of "douzhi'er" (fermented mung bean juice) in northern Beijing was somewhat inhuman.
Whether Lu Siwen can write a "Utopia" story is not up to him alone. There are many other people involved in that story. He mentioned this matter and tagged everyone.

It's rare for people to tag everyone in group chats; this has basically become Zhai Da's special privilege. So when people see this, anyone with a phone nearby will immediately chime in, causing quite a stir.

Ao Wen: "What? The great writer Lu wants to write about utopia?"

Li Dongdong: "Although I would prefer the eldest brother to write it, it seems a bit strange, but I support it."

Chu Xiang: "Then I need to have a good talk with Lu. I definitely need to write down my highlight moments."

Xiang You: "Do you have one?"

Chu Xiang: "Everyone wait a minute, I'm going to the next office to have a one-on-one fight with him."

Lin Shuyao: "I have no objection. It would be even better if it could be adapted into a film or television series in the future. By the way, is 'The Long Road of Lü' going to be released soon?"

Chu Xiang also sent a private message: "Boss, is Gao Yuanyuan doing game endorsements? The price is negotiable. We can use a green screen and she just needs to read a few lines."

Zhai Da:
Are you trying to ruin her?
He then replied: "Contact them yourself, but don't use my name."

Zhai Da looked at everyone's feedback and felt that they were generally supportive and expectant.

So he said, "Then I'll talk to her later, and she might contact each of you individually to gather information."

Then a message popped up.

Zhai Da stared at it for a long time.

Lu Wei: "We can add Siwen to the group."

Zhai Da looked up at Xiao Mutou's room.

Nothing happened, and life was peaceful.
