My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 40: Changes after eight years (Please read on!)
"Happy birthday to you~~"

"Come on, stop singing. Not a single word of your lyrics is in tune."

"Well, at least the intention is there. Brother Zhuang, do you want to make a wish?"

"Eat your cake and eat it."

Zhuang Xiao cut the cake and distributed it to everyone, then stared at the clock on the wall.

The other three wanted to continue celebrating, but seeing his stress-like reaction, they just kept silent and looked at the time with him.

Finally, the time came to 11 o'clock in the evening.

As the minute hand pointed to the number 1, Zhuang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked up and saw that everyone looked serious. He couldn't help but smile and said, "It's all my fault. Now it's all right. Let's eat the cake first."

"I really have no appetite. Cake should be eaten before dinner."

Dong Zeyu burped as he was talking. He rubbed his stomach and yelled, "Brother Zhuang, your cooking is incredible! How did you make those dishes so delicious?"

“They are just home-cooked dishes.” Zhuang Xiao didn’t care at all. “When DouX becomes popular, there will be a lot of short videos teaching you how to cook quickly. You just need to follow them and learn.”

“Short videos? Are there really people who watch that?” Dong Zeyu was puzzled while holding the cake. “I’m too lazy to click on videos on Bilibili that are less than ten minutes long.”

"Of course I watched it on my phone." Zhuang Xiao put down the half-eaten cake, "In the future, everyone will have a smartphone, even middle school and high school students."

"That's great." Dong Zeyu's green eyes were full of envy. "My mom said she would buy me a smartphone after I go to college."

"Who says it's not?" Zhuang Xiao was also quite emotional.

Like Zhuang Xiao, he still uses a traditional non-smartphone.

Zhuang Xiao is currently using the Nokia 5230 from a few years ago, Dong Zeyu is using the Nokia N95, and Dong Weirui is similar, she is using the Nokia N97.

Looking at the two people sighing, Shu Die tilted her head in confusion, "It's not so good to watch short videos on a smartphone, the internet speed is not that fast now, and 4G is much slower than when I was in the first grade of junior high school."

"Indeed." Zhuang Xiao couldn't help but nod in agreement.

The 4G network was only opened to the public for commercial use by the three major operators in China in 2014. It was very fast at the beginning, but then the speed became slower and slower.

"Ok?"

Zhuang Xiao suddenly turned around and looked at Shu Die with burning eyes.

Shu Die shrank her neck and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Do you have a smartphone?" Zhuang Xiao asked confidently.

"Yes, I do." Shu Die took out a mobile phone from her pocket, unlocked it with her fingerprint, and handed it to Zhuang Xiao, "Here you go."

Oh, it’s still iPhone 7plus?

"It was only released three months ago. My dad bought it for me." Shu Die seemed to be showing off, "Brother Xiao, if you want it, I'll say I lost my phone and ask my dad to buy me another one for you."

"It's not necessary."

Mobile phone? Zhuang Xiao said that he only uses domestically made smartphones, no other reason, he just likes them.

But he didn't stop what he was doing. He directly opened the Apple Store and searched for DouX, and he actually found it.

Downloading, installing and opening it was done in one go. The DouX at this time was different from what it would be eight years later, it was still quite simple and immature.

Not only is there no live streaming function, but even the highly-liked videos are not of young ladies dancing, but rather "life hacks" copied from places like YouTube.

Even because the network was not fast enough, there would be occasional lags when he was switching videos.

But Zhuang Xiao's heart was burning with passion at this moment.

"this one!"

He pointed at DouX and looked up and said excitedly: "Xiaodie! Ask your dad to buy this APP! Quickly!"

This time is different from the time with Shu Die. It is so easy and enjoyable to save Dong Weirui!

After that, whether he goes back eight years later or continues to stay here, he has to prepare in advance! Otherwise, he has to work for others before the time travel back, and he has to work for others in the future after the time travel back. Wouldn't it be a waste of time to come back?

Even if you ask him to study hard and get into a 985 university now, he can't do it. It's better to say that his knowledge reserves and learning ability are even worse than what he is now!

There is only half a year left for the college entrance examination. By then, there is a 99% chance that his score will be worse than before the time travel back in time.
So the best way is to make big money quickly!

Shu Die was a little confused, but still nodded seriously and agreed, "I'll write it down. I'll call my dad tomorrow."

"Remember to give me some shares! One percent is enough!" Zhuang Xiao grabbed her hand and said, "Remember!"

Rich woman! My future depends on you!
Shu Die was a little embarrassed, her face flushed and she didn't dare to meet his fiery eyes, "Well, I understand, Brother Xiao, I'll ask my dad to give you half of the shares when the time comes."

"It's a deal!" Zhuang Xiao was overjoyed.

Not only did he save Dong Weirui so that he and Master Dong would have no regrets in the future, he also had the opportunity to become a shareholder of DouX and live in a big villa and drive a luxury car in the future!

It is a double joy!
Zhuang Xiao opened his eyes and saw an unfamiliar ceiling.

“Why is the ceiling in my house so high?”

He yawned and turned over, then suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.

"Wait! This isn't my house!"

The bed in his rental bedroom is not this big! Nor is it this soft!
He turned around suddenly and saw that the bedroom was at least 100 square meters and overlooked the sea and the river.

Because when he turned around, he saw the rushing Luo River outside the huge floor-to-ceiling window, the sky was clear and the clouds were light, and the golden sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling window onto the huge bed, making him warm.

Zhuang Xiao hurriedly picked up his phone, only to find that his phone had also changed from the original Honor to the Huazi 3-fold.

He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a bold idea came to his mind.

而手机上的日期也让他这个大胆的想法基本落实了。【2024年9月10日 7点32分】

He is back as expected!

He remembered that last night after twelve o'clock, the other three people wished him a happy birthday together. Then he sent them home one by one, and then he went home to wash up and rest.

So, Dong Weirui was really rescued?

He was about to make a call, but suddenly his cell phone rang.

I looked down and saw that the caller was "Xiao Zhang".

Zhuang Xiao answered the call with some hesitation, and a slightly hoarse, intellectual female voice immediately rang out from the other end, "Boss Zhuang, are you awake?"

Mr. Zhuang?
Hey! Mr. Zhuang!
Zhuang Xiaoxin said that this was the first time in her life that someone called her "Boss"!
"What's the matter?" He spoke in a deliberately low voice.

"It's like this. Your afternoon schedule is to meet with the leaders in Luoyang to discuss investment matters. After you got off the plane yesterday, you asked me to remind you this morning."

"I understand. Remember to pick me up at noon."

"Okay, Mr. Zhuang, you take a rest, I won't disturb you for now."

After saying that, the other party did not hang up the phone, but waited for Zhuang Xiao to hang up.

After Zhuang Xiao hung up the phone, he immediately opened the web page, thought for a moment, and then searched for his own name.

Then the encyclopedia about him popped up.

【Zhuang Xiao】

[Position: CEO of DouX Group under Shushu Group]

"!!!"

"What the hell?!"

It was rare for Zhuang Xiao to utter a swear word.

Is Xiaodie a little too awesome?
My buddy only wanted 1% of the shares, but she actually tricked Uncle Shu into buying DouX! And she even let my buddy be the CEO?!
He stood up and walked around the house. No wonder he could live in a 400-square-meter apartment overlooking the sea and the river!

That "Xiao Zhang" should be my secretary!
And from what she said, this large apartment of over 400 square meters is just her residence in Luoyang!
Invincible!
Zhuang Xiao walked around the room several times, his mouth almost grinning from ear to ear.

Finally, he waited until he had walked enough before lying down on the sofa. Then he planned to contact Xiaodie, Taishi and Weirui. If they were also in Luoyang, they must have a good get-together today.

Since I haven't been in Luoyang for a long time, I guess I haven't seen him for a long time.

So he opened WeChat and scrolled down, but as he scrolled, the smile on his face slowly disappeared and turned into confusion.

"strangeness."

Why is there no WeChat for them?
It is understandable that Dong Weirui couldn’t find it, after all, he didn’t know the other party’s WeChat name. He can look it up later.

But why are there none for Xiaodie and the Grand Tutor?
Zhuang Xiao closed WeChat, opened the phone book and started looking for their phone numbers.

For some reason, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Fortunately, he finally found the phone numbers of the three of them.

"I told you, you're just scaring yourself." He breathed a sigh of relief and called Shu Die first.

[The phone you dialed is powered off, sorry]

Zhuang Xiao hung up the phone and curled his lips. It seemed that the girl had just finished her beauty sleep and hadn't gotten up yet.

But this is normal. After all, she has just graduated from college a few months ago, and she has no trouble finding a job, so it’s okay for her to sleep a little longer.

So he called Dong Zeyu again.

[The number you dialed is unavailable]

"impossible?!"

Zhuang Xiao opened his eyes wide and sat up suddenly!
Why is it an empty number?!
How could it be an empty number?!

"Did you remember the phone number wrong?"

He remembered Dong Zeyu's cell phone number clearly, so he dialed the number one by one.

[The number you dialed is unavailable]

Zhuang Xiao held the phone in a daze, his mind went blank, and he suddenly felt a chill on his back.

After taking several deep breaths, he called Dong Weirui with slightly trembling fingers.

The call was connected soon.

Zhuang Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then he heard a voice from the other end, "Have you returned to Luoyang?"

It's a familiar yet unfamiliar voice.

Full of majesty, but much more mature than eight years ago.

It was Dong Weirui for sure! She was indeed saved by me!
"Yes, Weirui, I just returned to Luoyang yesterday. Do you want to have dinner together tonight? Then invite your brother to come along."

If Dong Weirui hadn't died, Shu Die might not have been so anxious to come back this time, but Dong Zeyu should be in Luoyang.

"My brother?" There was some surprise on the other end of the phone, and then Dong Weirui's voice made Zhuang Xiao's face turn pale in an instant.

"Yes, you are so busy, it's not easy for you to come back, so let's go to visit my brother and Xiaodie's grave together today."

　The story unfolds slowly!
