I was in my final year of high school, and my deskmate found out I was writing a novel!

"I've placed the order! The seller says I can pick it up in about two weeks!"

Miaomiao is now quite wealthy; she can buy cars worth hundreds of thousands of yuan without hesitation. Ye Feng wanted to pay for them, but she wouldn't let him, insisting that she do it herself.

Moreover, they didn't even let Ye Feng see what configuration they chose, saying they would give him a surprise later.

Ye Feng had already seen it online, and since he was just trying to please Miao Miao, he didn't ask any more questions.

"By the way, Miaomiao, my sister said she wanted to buy a car, but it's been years and nothing's happened. Also, has she started dating anyone yet?"

The car question was just a casual remark, while his aunt asked him about his girlfriend, calling him every now and then, but the key point is that he didn't know anything about it!

"She's wanted to buy it for a while, but she's too scared to open it."

"what?"

"She drove your car before, and it was even worse than mine. She was so scared that she didn't dare to sell it, haha. She said she wouldn't dare to drive it even if she bought it. Besides, there are so many cars in Shanghai, taking a taxi is faster than taking a bus."

"Yeah, whatever, what about her boyfriend?"

"No, she's a total homebody. She's either at the company or at home. Now she's picked up her novels again. Every day after work she stays at home writing novels. I can't even call her out."

"Haha, she must have been provoked by you. The Legend of Fuyao was so popular, and the TV series made about it was also very popular. She's probably extremely jealous."

"Hehe, there's nothing I can do about it, what can I do when I have such a good boyfriend?"

My cousin has bothered Ye Feng a lot about this, always wanting him to make a detailed outline. She also wants to try writing a wildly popular novel!

Ye Feng had been busy with company matters before, so he didn't have time. Now that he has time, he can really get a copy for him. He doesn't care about that little bit of money anymore.

And my cousin really does a great job managing Miaomiao's little company; it earns her several million a year.

......

On the day of the listing, Ye Feng wore a black custom-made suit with a small logo pinned to the cuff.

Miaomiao took his arm, her off-white dress making her look even more fair-skinned.

As soon as the two stepped into the hall, dozens of cameras were immediately pointed at them, flashes cascading down like a waterfall, the dense sound of shutters drowning out the background noise in the hall.

"Mr. Ye, look this way."

"Mr. Ye, could you share your feelings about going public at this moment?"

The reporters crowded behind the cordon, their arms outstretched, all wanting to get as close to Ye Feng as possible.

Ye Feng's gaze swept across the crowd. Two years ago, he and Cheng Guowei were huddled in a small office. After their first game was launched, they never imagined they would be where they are today.

......

The auction session began at 9:15 a.m.

The giant electronic screen in the center of the hall lit up, and below the company's stock code "68999", the issue price was fixed at 38 yuan.

A crowd gathered in front of the screen; some were recording with their phones, while others stared intently at the numbers and muttered to themselves.

Lin Wei, Chen Guowei, and the others stood beside Ye Feng, their palms sweating.

"The offering price-to-earnings ratio was 22, and the market response was much better than expected."

At 9:25 AM, the results of the opening auction were announced—the opening price was 57 yuan, a 50% surge compared to the issue price!

"It's gone up! Up 50%!"

Cheers erupted from the crowd, and the company employees instantly cheered. Several veteran programmers high-fived each other, tears welling in their eyes. Ye Feng's phone vibrated; it was a message from his college startup partner: "Brother Feng, you guys are about to take off!"

At 9:30 a.m., the listing ceremony officially began.

The host's voice echoed throughout the hall through the speakers: "Please welcome Mr. Ye Feng, founder of XX Games, Ms. Lin Wei, CEO, and core team members to jointly ring the listing bell!"

Ye Feng and Lin Wei walked side by side to the bell-ringing platform, the golden bell hammer gleaming coldly.

Miaomiao stood in the guest area, her hands clenched together, her eyes full of anticipation. As the countdown began, "3, 2, 1," all six people simultaneously slammed the hammer down on the clock face—

"Clang— Clang— Clang—"

The deep, resonant chimes echoed through the hall, making everyone's eardrums vibrate. The stock price on the electronic screen jumped instantly: 57 yuan, 62 yuan, 68 yuan… the increase soared to 84%, and the market capitalization directly exceeded 500 billion!

"It's surpassed 500 billion!"

Some people pointed at the screen and screamed, investors congratulated each other, and shook hands with increased force.

Even though he was no longer short of money, Ye Feng was still so excited that his head was spinning. This fortune was truly enormous!

Miaomiao was also incredibly excited, her little hands clasped tightly together, her face flushed with excitement.

She now truly feels that she had excellent judgment, having set her sights on Ye Feng back in high school.

If she had hesitated even for a moment and let Ye Feng get away, she would have suffered a huge loss!

Look at all those people in the high school group chat, they're so envious they're practically ready to duel her! But it's no use, Ye Feng just likes her.

The surge in stock prices not only increased Ye Feng's net worth, but also brought him a lot of attention.

For example, his writing of novels has already been exposed.

There's no way to hide it; it can't be hidden once it's been adapted from a novel into a TV series.

However, the lead actor still received the most attention at the time, since he was a star, so not many people paid attention to him.

But things are different now. Starting a business at twenty and becoming a billionaire at twenty-two is truly eye-catching!

However, after the company went public, Ye Feng went straight home and refused to see anyone. Moreover, he had already resigned from his position as CEO, and he could not be found at the company.

"We don't know where Mr. Ye is, we can't get in touch with him. He doesn't usually come to the company. Please stop blocking this place; it's disrupting our company's normal operations!"

"We are journalists, and we have the right to conduct interviews!"

"If you have the right, then use it. Why are you blocking our company?"

"It's not that we can't find it."

"You think you can find us just because you can't find us?"

The reporters were extremely anxious to interview Ye Feng, and the company staff also wanted to find him. After all, he was the founder, the person who led them to make a fortune, and now he was worth billions. They wanted to share in his wealth!

However, there are only a few people who can contact him, so it's impossible to get him to come over. Ye Feng isn't stupid; he knows that so many people are waiting for him, so it's even more impossible for him to go back to the company.

The two were thinking about building a small greenhouse in the yard, as Miaomiao wanted to grow flowers.

"Master, how do I maintain this greenhouse?"

"It doesn't need much maintenance; just rinse it with water if the glass gets dirty!"

"What about in winter? Is it kept closed all the time?"

"Of course, opening the door would freeze all the plants inside. But don't worry, we'll cover all the equipment you need. We'll show you how to use it after it's installed."

Although Shanghai isn't that cold, winters are still no joke. Since the small front yard wasn't of much use anyway, we decided to install a greenhouse there.
