Chapter 447 Original God, activate!
A beauty salon near Jing'an Temple.

In a bright room, the air conditioner, heater, and humidifier were all humming. In the middle were two massage beds with backrests that could be raised to make it easier to talk sideways.

Zhao Lu, with a face mask on, turned to look at Meng Ziyi, who was lying on his side, and kept gesturing in the air with her right little finger.

"...When he was in sixth grade, he got so angry with his dad about something that he broke a rattan cane as thick as his little finger."

"Auntie! I've heard about this from Sister Xiaoxiao."

"Oh?"

Zhao Lu blinked her right eyelid, as if she was particularly interested in the topic.

Meng Ziyi also had a face mask on, her clear eyes recalling past memories, but with some uncertainty.

"Last time, when Sister Xiaoxiao came to our house for dinner, she mentioned this to me. It seems that the reason Xiu-ge was beaten was because he helped Su Yu go to the parent-teacher conference. When Xiu-ge himself entered the first year of junior high school, the matter was exposed, right?"

"Yes, yes, you remember it even better than I do."

Zhao Lu nodded in agreement and continued, "Did Xiaoxiao mention how this matter was ultimately resolved?"

"It seems that her parents came to plead for her, and that's how the matter was resolved."

"Tch! This girl is still giving Xiao Xiu face."

"Hmm? Isn't that how it is?"

Zhao Lu closed her eyes, recalling that scene from many years ago, and her hand, which was resting on the edge of the beauty bed, began to unconsciously tap the leather.

Meng Ziyi lowered his gaze and glanced at the slender hand, thinking: Auntie is just like Xiu-ge'er; when she's thinking, she taps her fingers.

"That's actually how it was..."

Zhao Lu suddenly opened her eyes, her voice low but very certain.

“Xiao Xiu was beaten badly by her father. Her grandmother and I couldn’t stop him. Then Xiao Xiao came over and saw what was happening, so she ran home and called her parents and younger brother over.”

"When Lao Su and Sister Ruan saw that Xiao Xiu had been beaten so badly, they naturally pleaded for her, but it was no use at first... My husband rarely gets angry, but once he gets angry, no one can persuade him."

"It was Xiaoxiao who was quick-witted. She stood up and said that Xiaoxiu and Xiaoyu were both at fault in the whole thing, and there was no reason to only hit one of them. She suggested that Xiaoyu should stand next to Xiaoxiu, and that if Lao Chen hit Xiaoxiu, Lao Su should hit Xiaoyu."

Thinking of that scene, Zhao Lu couldn't help but smile slightly, while Meng Ziyi listened attentively beside her.

"Just like that, after only a couple of blows, Old Chen called a halt, and Xiao Xiu managed to save half of her skin."

"Huh? Why is it half?"

"The other half has already been finished."

"laugh!"

Meng Ziyi didn't mean to laugh, but Zhao Lu described the incident in a way that sounded like a joke, which made people laugh.

The commotion next door made Zhao Lu's eyes dart over, and she casually asked, "Xiao Meng, what do you think of Xiao Xiao?"

"Sister Xiaoxiao is so nice! She often chats with me and even prepares gifts for me. She treats me like a younger sister. Many of the perfumes and lipsticks I use now were recommended by her..."

Alright, all that worrying for nothing.

Zhao Lu half-closed her eyes, rolled her eyes, and thought to herself that she was really getting old and her mind was not as sharp as that of young people.

With the weight lifted, Zhao Lu's previously somewhat depressed mood lifted again, and she largely agreed with Meng Ziyi's comments about Su Xiao.

“You and Xiaoxiao are both good girls, especially you. If I had a daughter like you, I would never hand you over to that brat Chen Xiu.”

"Hey, it's not that good!"

Meng Ziyi smiled happily, raised her hand to touch her cheek, and felt that the place was cool and slippery. Only then did she remember that she was still wearing a face mask.

Seeing Meng Ziyi's pure and innocent appearance, Zhao Lu, who had already become Chen Xiu's number one hater, began to stand up for her.

"Tell me, you're such a wonderful girl, beautiful, kind-hearted, tall and fair-skinned. What qualities does Chen Xiu have that make you a good match for him?"

"Brother Xiu still has many good points!"

Meng Ziyi retorted softly. Although she was happy to be praised, she still had a problem with Chen Xiu being scolded.

Hearing the simpleton defend him, Zhao Lu glared at him and said, "What good qualities does he have?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Ziyi sat up abruptly by the bed and began counting Chen Xiu's merits on his fingers.

"He has many strengths. He founded Didi while in college, and then he jumped ship to found Douyin..."

"I've heard these two things so many times I'm sick of them, so please stop talking about them! Starting a company isn't his achievement alone, so let's talk about something else."

Zhao Lu lay there waving her hand, letting out a few muffled laughs, as if she didn't think it was any kind of achievement at all.

Meng Ziyi paused for a moment, pursed her lips and frowned, her cheeks puffing out the lower part of her face covered by the face mask.

"That Xiu-ge is very smart, polite, loves reading, knows a lot, is handsome, and has a very quick mind..."

"Don't bother mentioning these so-called advantages. Besides, being smart and quick-witted are redundant. If you use a different word to describe an advantage, anyone could list hundreds."

Zhao Lu lay there, this time too lazy to even move her hands.

Meng Ziyi stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "These advantages are just average?"

"Ah."

"So, are the advantages of being a billionaire like Xiu Ge'er?"

"A billionaire, isn't that just a term?"

Zhao Lu turned her head and looked at Meng Ziyi with a puzzled expression, as if asking her, "Is this really a good point?"

That look made Meng Ziyi choke on her words, and she began to doubt what exactly constituted a virtue. Seeing that the young girl's values ​​had been shaken, Zhao Lu sat up gracefully and said seriously, "Little Meng, how many meals do you eat a day? How many beds do you sleep in?"

"Huh? Three meals a day and a bed!"

Meng did not understand the question, but still answered truthfully.

Zhao Lu nodded and said, "That's right! A person only needs three meals and a bed, right? Even if you're greedy, you can eat more meals and sleep in more beds, but in terms of material enjoyment, there's not much difference between a few hundred million and tens of billions."

"It seems so."

Meng can understand and agree with this statement.

Her family wasn't poor either, and Wang Qian often said that if she didn't want to work anymore, she could just go home and lie down; it wasn't like they couldn't afford to support her...

"So you don't need to consider being a billionaire as an advantage for Chen Xiu. You two got together in 14, and he wasn't this rich back then."

Meng Ziyi pouted, puzzled: "Auntie, what do you think are Xiu-ge'er's strengths?"

"You have to tell me, why do you like him?"

Zhao Lu patiently guided Meng Ziyi, feeding him the answer.

If you ask yourself why you like Chen Xiu, then Meng Ziyi has something to say.

"Brother Xiu is a really nice guy! When I go out with him, he's very polite to everyone and very sincere to those around him. For example, when he founded Douyin, it was initially to help those around him find a better place."

"That's it! That's the key."

Zhao Lu's previous argumentative rebuttals all vanished at this moment.

She gave Meng Ziyi an approving look and said, "If a person is short of money, the most important thing is to make money, which is understandable. But many people will do some bad things in order to make money."

"Chen Xiu only talked to me and his father about starting a business once. His initial idea was to grow the company, sell it, and make a living through investment and financial management. He would spend the rest of his time enjoying life and learning things that interest him."

“He told me about this very seriously, and then things changed. I don’t know why, but that’s how he embarked on the path of becoming a star and starting a second business.”

At this point, Zhao Lu looked up at Meng Ziyi's earnest eyes, took her hand, and gently held it.

“Xiao Xiu has many minor flaws. You've known him for so long, you should know some of them. But like you said, he does have some good points. If you two ever argue in the future…”

"Auntie, we won't fight."

Meng Ziyi placed his other hand over Zhao Lu's hand and said with great certainty.

Zhao Lu stared at her for a long time, then lazily tilted her head back, squinted her eyes and said leisurely, "Oh dear! If you don't want to argue, then don't argue. Young people have so many ways to show their affection, even holding my hand to do so."

"Hey, I didn't..."

Meng Ziyi glared at him, about to retort.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Lu let go of her hand first, slowly lay down, indicating that the conversation was over and that she was going to call the beautician.

When the beautician came in and finished the remaining services for the two of them, Zhao Lu's squinted eyes held a satisfaction that didn't need to be spoken.

……

miHoYo, in the internal testing server room.

Sitting in front of a computer with unparalleled specifications, with a gleaming mechanical keyboard in front of him, Chen Xiu glanced at his sides with a serious expression.

At this moment, sitting next to him were the three giants of miHoYo: Cai Haoyu, Liu Wei, and Luo Yuhao.

"Start now?"

"bring it on!"

"Just come."

"Chen Xiu, have your gaming skills improved lately?"

"What kind of skills do you need to play the beta version?"

Chen Xiu retorted seriously, then gestured to stop talking nonsense and start fighting.

After exchanging glances, the four of them simultaneously turned on their computers, opening a software icon with an anime style.

The next moment, the miHoYo logo on a white background appeared on the computer screen. Then, the screen switched to two Chinese characters for "Genshin Impact" in an unrecognizable font.

"Original God, activate!"

Chen Xiu made a rare statement that was full of childish and immature sentimentality.

Upon hearing this, Cai Haoyu, who was standing nearby, also showed a thoughtful expression on his face.

Just half an hour after the beta version of Genshin Impact officially started running, and the four players each chose their characters and started playing, the beta version of Genshin Impact was launched.

What was originally a scene where everyone was playing their own games suddenly turned into Chen Xiu playing while the other three surrounded him, giving him "instructions."

"You A it!"

"You should dodge!"

"Run! Run faster!"

"..."

New drivers often find the most annoying thing about being a novice driver on the road when the experienced passenger in the passenger seat keeps nagging. Chen Xiu is now facing the nagging of three experienced drivers, so you can imagine how frustrated he is.

When the trial ends and a game failure page appears on the screen.

Chen Xiu pushed the keyboard aside, suddenly stood up, and stared at Cai Haoyu and the other two, saying, "It's all your fault for teaching me wrong, that's why I lost the game!"

"..." (Shameless!) *3
