After the college entrance examination, life began to follow one's heart

Chapter 316 Meeting Shang Wanjun Again

six o'clock.

Xu Lin and his group arrived outside a Western restaurant with a couples theme.

Just as Chi Linyue was about to go in.

Xu Lin reached out and blocked her.

"Hey, don't rush!"

"What are you doing?"

While Chi Linyue was puzzled, she saw Xu Lin standing to the side in front of her, striking a very standard gentlemanly pose.

Then he extended his right hand, palm facing up.

The older sister could read Xu Lin's mind, so she smiled and placed her left hand on it.

Chi Linyue smiled and said, "How romantic!"

"Valentine's Day, shouldn't we add some ritual?"

Xu Lin then pulled Chi Linyue inside.

This is a high-end Western restaurant with a couples theme.

Today is Valentine's Day.

The interior is decorated in a dark style, with candles lit on the dining table.

Xu Lin saw many men and women having candlelight dinners, including Chinese and foreigners.

The waiter led Xu Lin and his group to a two-person table.

They ate typical Western food, but the key wasn't the food itself, but rather that it was Valentine's Day and the two of them were together.

In fact, to some extent, Xu Lin and Chi Linyue are the most compatible, after all, only Chi Linyue truly understands Xu Lin's thought process and can quickly cooperate with him.

As they began ordering food, Xu Lin added, "We'll get a room later."

"Well, it's up to you."

After eating and drinking to our hearts' content, it had been more than an hour.

The two left the restaurant.

Xu Lin then took Chi Linyue into a Van Cleef & Arpels physical store.

What do you want to buy?

"How about I buy you a gift? I don't think I've ever bought you a proper gift before. I'll make up for it on Valentine's Day."

"Just a token gesture will do."

Chi Linyue is the daughter of a high-ranking official, and she is also a mature woman with a rich inner world, so she is not enthusiastic about gifts.

"Ok."

However, in the end, Xu Lin chose a white gold diamond necklace, priced at over 480,000 yuan.

“Why buy something so expensive? I think a pair costing 20,000 or 30,000 would be enough,” Chi Linyue couldn’t help but say.

"It's just a small amount of money, and besides, it's not like I buy it every day."

Xu Lin put it on her.

"Look, how beautiful it is."

The already exquisite necklace, worn on Chi Linyue's delicate white neck and collarbone, seemed to have increased in value several times over. Although it was worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, it now looked much more valuable on Chi Linyue.

"Yeah, it's pretty good!"

Chi Linyue looked in the mirror for a while and felt she liked it. Then she turned her head and kissed Xu Lin on the cheek.

Chi Linyue smiled and said, "This is a reward from your older sister!"

"Is this all the reward you've got?" Xu Lin asked deliberately.

"The rest will be given later, you silly goose!"

After paying the bill, the two left the store.

Around 9 PM, the two checked into a hotel.

This time it's a suite, with two rooms. One room is for couples to have sex, and the other room is for sleeping.

As for the reason, it's nothing more than that Chi Linyue is the Water Maiden.

"Take off your clothes quickly."

Upon entering the living room, Chi Linyue asked Xu Lin to sit on the sofa and urged him to take off his clothes.

Xu Lin did as he was told, and Chi Linyue also helped him take off his clothes.

Finally, Xu Lin sat there naked, ready to act like a lord.

Chi Linyue then slowly began to take off her clothes.

The older sister has gone further and further down the path of seduction. When others take off their clothes, none of them are as alluring as she is in every move. Moreover, she seems to be doing it on purpose, yet Xu Lin feels that she is not doing it on purpose at all.

"Sis, I've noticed you're getting better and better at seducing people."

"Wasn't that all for you?"

"How long have you been holding it in? Hanhan has gone home, and Qingqing and I aren't around anymore."

"It's been quite a long time."

It's only been a few days.

But Chi Linyue didn't know that Xu Lin had other girls.

The two of them stayed up until after 4 a.m. tonight.

"Time for bed, I'm tired."

Chi Linyue didn't even want to open her eyes, so Xu Lin helped her take a bath before she returned to another room to prepare for sleep.

Are you busy tomorrow?

On the bed, Chi Linyue nestled in Xu Lin's arms.

"I'm not busy. I'll go to work with you tomorrow and spend some time with you in the evening. I'm busy with other things the day after tomorrow."

"All right……"

The two arrived at the company at nine o'clock in the morning.

Chi Linyue was in a particularly good mood today, especially since Xu Lin was also here with her. She even hummed a little tune while working.

Xu Lin was sitting on the sofa in the office, working on his laptop on his lap, but it was unclear what he was busy with.

Chi Linyue asked curiously, "How much money did you make from that game?"

"The two games together have cost over 25 billion, but some of it has already been spent."

"More than 25 billion?"

Chi Linyue was shocked.

"Actually, it's not that much. Games like pesticides can generate 30 to 40 billion yuan in revenue a year, let alone a groundbreaking game like mine. However, I still have to pay for the servers and taxes. I plan to go to the tax bureau to file my taxes the day after tomorrow. By then, including all the tax reductions and exemptions, I will have to pay at least 2 billion yuan in taxes."

The main taxes here in Xulin are value-added tax and corporate income tax.

He had never paid taxes before.

We currently have over 25 billion yuan, and we plan to pay the taxes in a couple of days.

Actually, it's not necessary to hand over most of it. Xu Lin's income is different from other companies. Other companies have revenue of over 25 billion, which sounds exaggerated and frightening. But in reality, various costs, such as equipment costs, employee costs, etc., need to be deducted, and various taxes also need to be calculated.

So what is the actual profit? That's hard to say, and profit margins vary across different industries.

For companies like Xu Lin, which are currently involved in the gaming industry, the net profit margin is generally between 15% and 30%. In contrast, companies like JD.com, which operate their own express delivery services and support millions of employees, have a net profit margin of less than 5%.

But Xu Lin is different. He doesn't have so many miscellaneous costs, and his net profit margin can reach an astonishing 60% or more.

The older sister made a rough estimate and continued, "Then there should be a lot left in the end."

"Yes, it's possible, but I need to develop my artificial intelligence in the first half of this year, so I might have to burn through at least 10 billion, or even more than 20 billion."

"You want this much?"

Chi Linyue was even more shocked, because this involved a field she had absolutely no knowledge of.

"Yes, it will require a lot of equipment and will be very complicated. I will need a lot of equipment to support it, which will cost a lot of money."

"If all goes well, that means my artificial intelligence project is successful, then I can start a company and expand my business."

Xu Lin briefly mentioned it to her.

Artificial intelligence involves too many industries, such as robots, mobile phone and computer systems, intelligent driving, and so on. Xu Lin can turn any industry upside down.

Of course, he has to guarantee his own rights before he can enter.

The world is not as simple as he imagines. You want to make money, and so do others. Humans are creatures that seek profit and avoid harm, which determines that the world will be very complex.

Xu Lin added, "If all goes well, I can open a company in Qionghai next year, and also one on this private island. I haven't thought about the specifics yet; I'll take it one step at a time."

Qionghai is a closed-off area and a duty-free zone. In addition, companies there can enjoy many preferential policies. Xu Lin will open a company here, which will be the main company.

The private island is a branch company. Xu Lin plans to have Chi Linyue and Pei Danqing each manage one, while he can handle major decisions behind the scenes.

Besides, as the core member, he actually has more things to deal with; he doesn't need to handle ordinary matters.

The two talked for quite a while.

During the day, Xu Lin stayed in his office and never left.

Xu Lin ate takeout for lunch, and after get off work in the afternoon, he spent the whole evening with Chi Linyue.

They didn't leave until the second day.

At noon, Xu Lin drove to Fudan University to pick up Shang Wanjun.

Shang Wanjun is preparing to move into his new house, but he hasn't bought many pieces of furniture and appliances yet.

She had no classes in the afternoon, so she planned to buy furniture and appliances. Therefore, she asked Xu Lin to help her choose and also showed Xu Lin around her new home.

Shang Wanjun's outfit today was rather simple: a regular jacket, slightly flared jeans, and sneakers. But compared to her usual elegant attire, such as long skirts and high heels, this casual wear had its own unique charm.

"When exactly did you join?"

After getting on the bus, Xu Lin asked her.

"February 2th, I guess."

While fastening his seatbelt, Shang Wanjun said, "I'll treat you to a big meal later."

Do your family members know about your house purchase?

“I didn’t tell them. My mom is quite controlling and nagging. If she knew, she would come to my house every day. Besides, she’s been pressuring me to get married lately, which is really annoying.”

"It's good for one person to be alone and quiet."

Nagging from parents is probably one of the biggest annoyances for Chinese people, especially those in their twenties.

Xu Lin: "Let's go get some food first."

"Ah."

We'll just have a simple lunch.

The two then went to a furniture store and bought home appliances there as well.

This trip cost Shang Wanjun 680,000 yuan for all sorts of furniture and appliances.

Because some furniture and appliances are indeed quite expensive, such as mattresses costing over 40,000 yuan, televisions costing over 40,000 yuan, refrigerators costing over 20,000 yuan, and so on.

In terms of spending money, Shang Wanjun and Xu Lin are somewhat similar; they don't treat money like money and buy whatever they like.

Of course, you need to have money.

Shang Wanjun still has more than ten million yuan in his pocket.

In this life, the biggest expense is actually housing, followed by cars.

Shang Wanjun already has a house and a car, and she saves most of her remaining money. As for investing, she's not interested; pursuing wealth is not her dream.

So, Shang Wanjun is already financially independent. All that's left is to graduate with her doctorate and become a university professor, working and enjoying life at the same time.

Shang Wanjun had told Xu Lin about this kind of life.

After purchasing furniture and appliances, the furniture store immediately began delivery and installation.

Jiangdu is, after all, a top-tier metropolis, and its efficiency is extremely high.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Lin and his group arrived at their home, and the workers came to their door immediately.

So, a total of sixteen workers came to the house at once, including those who installed televisions, washing machines, dryers, refrigerators, sofas, and so on.

I was busy until 7 p.m.

Finally, all the masters left.

Now, all the furniture and appliances are taken care of.

Shang Wanjun can make the remaining small items himself.

"Xu Lin, thank you for your help today!"

"We're already so familiar, why thank me?"

"That won't do, you're the kind of guy I admire."

"Hey, that's not right. What 'warm man'? Don't you know that 'warm men' come after dogs?"

Xu Lin lay comfortably on the large sofa, which was shaped like the number 7. The longer side was 3.8 meters long and the shorter side was 2.4 meters long. It was quite a large sofa.

We picked it out today, a modular combination, the whole set cost over 60,000.

So where did Shang Wanjun's 680,000 yuan go?

Here it is.

Shang Wanjun smiled and said, "You are a very special warm man in my heart!"

"Since you accompanied me to choose furniture and appliances today, I've decided to give you a little reward!" Shang Wanjun said again.

Xu Lin didn't say anything, so he simply lay there, resting his head on the armrest of the sofa, quietly waiting for Shang Wanjun to make her move.

This was the first time Xu Lin had seen Shang Wanjun's upper body.

The appearance of not wearing clothes.

She didn't take off her pants, she just took off all her tops.

To be honest, Xu Lin hadn't expected Shang Wanjun to be so unassuming.

"Hidden so well?"

"what happened?"

"They're saying you have a good figure."

"Oh."

When Xu Lin saw Shang Wanjun take off her shirt, he knew what she was going to do.

OIO.

How do I compare to the women around you?

Shang Wanjun asked.

"It's hard to say, because our relationship hasn't developed to the point where the distance is negative. At that time, I will have completely unlocked your true self and know what your strengths and weaknesses are. So it's hard to say now."

Do you want to sleep with me?

"Strictly speaking, I'm not that interested right now, but give me a little 'nice guy' reward first!"

Xu Lin had spent two consecutive nights in a passionate encounter with his older sister, but he wasn't really interested.

"Then I'll grant your wish!"

Shang Wanjun watches porn frequently. Even though she has no practical experience, she has a wealth of theoretical knowledge and is a seasoned pro. In addition, she is very bold, so she seems quite skilled.

Therefore, Xu Lin could simply enjoy himself comfortably.

"Xu Lin, let's go out for dinner. It's my treat tonight."

"Row."

Tonight's meal cost Shang Wanjun over a thousand yuan, which is actually quite a feast. Those meals that cost thousands or tens of thousands of yuan are simply a matter of ingredients, and of course, there are other premiums as well.

After finishing their meal, the two left the restaurant.

There's a small ice rink right in front of us, specifically for kids.

There are dozens of kids skating inside right now, and outside are their parents or other people watching the skating.

Xu Lin and Shang Wanjun were also watching from outside.

"Xu Lin, do you like children?"

Shang Wanjun suddenly asked.

"I really like it. Two of my older sisters are hoping to get pregnant by the end of this year. If all goes well, I think I'll become a dad in September or October next year."

"So fast? You're only nineteen now. You'll be twenty next October?"

"I'll be twenty-one next October."

"That's quite early."

Becoming a father at 21 is quite ahead of its time in this era, especially given the declining marriage and birth rates.

Shang Wanjun: "I'm about to turn 25, and my mom is telling me to get married early and have a child. She says she wants to raise a child, but I have no idea about it. I also feel that my personality isn't suitable to be a mother, and I even feel that I would spoil my child."

"Perhaps you're thinking too far ahead. Not all parents are born parents; they all learn and grow along the way. Of course, to become a truly good parent, you have to put in the effort. Being a parent is a complex subject."

"Do you think I would be a good mother?"

"I can't answer that question."

"I don't understand it either," Shang Wanjun nodded.

It's quite difficult to find an answer to something that hasn't happened yet, so Xu Lin couldn't answer it, and Shang Wanjun couldn't figure it out either.
