Yanjing.

Zhichun East Lane.

In the master bedroom, Wei Yi was awakened by the sun.

The curtains weren't fully drawn, and it was almost noon.

A beam of light pierced through the gap and struck him squarely in the face.

He squinted as he touched his phone, and the screen lit up.

The time is 12:23 PM.

I slept for almost eight hours.

He got up, put on his slippers, and went to the living room.

On the dining table, there was a bowl of white porridge, and next to it, on a plate, were two fried eggs and a few slices of fruit, all neatly sealed with plastic wrap.

There was a note under the plate, written in Aunt Zheng's handwriting: "Xiao Wei, heat up the porridge yourself if it gets cold. Your sister said you should get up and call her."

Another note was stuck on the refrigerator, written in Jin Shilin's handwriting, which was very flamboyant: "There's braised beef in the refrigerator. Cut it yourself if you're hungry. I'm going to the store."

Hey, after playing ball.

This Jin sister has learned to take care of herself now.

Maybe he felt tired from dribbling the ball last night.

He shamelessly thought to himself.

Wei Yi folded the two sticky notes and placed them on the coffee table. He washed up first and then heated up the porridge.

I sat down at the table with my bowl of porridge and then realized that today is the fourth day of the National Day holiday.

According to Chen Xinyi's previous plan, she was supposed to go house hunting this afternoon after finishing the first three days of work.

He had already prepared the money for the Longhu Yiheyuan Residence project.

He had just picked up his phone to call his sister when the screen lit up first.

Caller ID: Sulai.

"Senior?"

"Mr. Wei, are you free this afternoon?"

Sulei's tone was a little off.

She usually speaks very casually when she calls Wei Yi.

The sophisticated air of a Beijing girl is unmistakable.

Today, his tone actually sounded rather polite.

"I might be looking at apartments with my sister this afternoon. What's up?"

"Could we go later?"

"Is there something you need?"

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.

Sulei took a deep breath and said in an extremely formal tone, "It's nothing. An elder wants to see you."

Wei Yi's chopsticks froze in mid-air.

Elders? Sulei's elders? Sulei's parents?

Several images flashed through his mind.

Sulai had previously mentioned that her parents worked in the government.

It's remarkable that she could say it in such a solemn tone.

It's probably her parents.

I rely on!

Why do her parents want to see him?

Didn't he say that Sulai was just his business partner?

The two were completely innocent. Although Sulei's round face had a friendly smile, she was also a very nice person.

They're really great as friends.

As a business partner or subordinate, they are even more top-notch.

When a partner...

If he were truly a poor boy, and didn't have any beautiful older sisters around him...

To avoid a hundred years of struggle, finding such a rich and beautiful person... isn't so bad after all.

In that situation, it wouldn't be out of the question to consider Senior Su.

But that's not the case at all now.

"Senior."

"Um?"

"Um, I only consider you a good friend."

Wei Yi tried to keep his tone tactful, "You're a really good person, truly. You're a first-rate friend. You're reliable, capable, and without you, Tage would have fallen apart long ago. Being your partner would be even more top-notch. But, you know, I..."

"Holy shit! What the hell are you thinking?!"

Su Lai's voice suddenly rose, switching abruptly from deliberation to a barrage of words, "Wei Yi, have you gone mad from sleeping? Who said they'd take you to meet their parents? I, Su Lai, may not be as beautiful as your celestial sister, but I'm not so low as to have to throw myself at you!"

"Then what about elders..."

"It's a friend of my dad's! He works at IDG Capital, and he happened to be chatting with my dad the other day, mentioning that his company is looking into the bike-sharing industry. My dad mentioned TAGE. And then this elder contacted me."

Wei Yi put down his chopsticks completely.

IDG Capital.

He had certainly heard of that name before.

IDG was one of the earliest investors in China to set its sights on the bike-sharing industry.

They invested in ofo's angel round, and then followed up through the Series A and Series B rounds.

They made a fortune during the most frenzied years of bike sharing.

The difference is that in the previous life, IDG had its eye on ofo, founded by Dai Wei of Peking University.

In this lifetime, their focus has unexpectedly fallen on traveling and singing.

"Senior, what position does your elder hold at IDG?"

"My partner. His name is Lin Donghe. I should call him Uncle Lin."

Wei Yi stood up from the dining table and walked to the window.

The ginkgo trees outside the window are shedding their leaves, the golden leaves swirling and falling in the afternoon sunlight.

It took him about three seconds to process the information.

A partner at IDG Capital proactively contacted Tage Travel through Sulai's connections.

In his previous life, when Dai Wei received IDG's angel round funding, ofo had already been running at Peking University for almost half a year, and the data was incredibly impressive.

Although Tage has only been around for a little over a month, its scale has already surpassed that ofo due to its financial power.

ofo hasn't even expanded beyond Peking University yet, while Tago is already preparing to attack universities throughout the city.

The data undeniably crushes Dai Wei and OFO, who entered this field earlier.

Who told him to be a reborn person, and who told him to dare to invest heavily right from the start?

It's perfectly reasonable for IDG to follow the scent and come knocking.

Besides, there's still Suleimani!

It's possible that Sulei's father influenced her.

It's also possible that TAGE's data performance across its eight campuses is indeed outstanding.

In any case, this shows that he is on the right track.

Capital has already begun to enter the bike-sharing sector.

"Senior, where is Mr. Lin now?"

"He's over at the China World Trade Center, in IDG's Beijing office. I made an appointment with him for 2:30 this afternoon." Su Lai paused. "So are you coming or not? If you're not coming, I'll tell him to reschedule."

"Come on. Why not?" Wei Yi pulled the curtains open completely, letting in a flood of afternoon sunlight. "Send me your address."

"Okay. By the way, did you think I was trying to hit on you?"

No. Absolutely not.

"No way. Wei Yi, let me tell you, even though I'm not as pretty as your sister, I still have a boyfriend! Guo Yu may not be as handsome or rich as you, but he's devoted to me! Don't flatter yourself!"

"Senior, I'm sorry."

"If 'sorry' was enough, why would we need to apologize at all!"

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

"Treat me to Heytea for a month."

"make a deal."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Yi pulled up Chen Xinyi's WeChat, typed "Sister" to her, then thought for a moment and added a message:

"There's something important at Tage; a partner from IDG Capital wants to meet with us. It might involve financing. I'll go to the China World Trade Center first to discuss it. Could we postpone the property viewing until tomorrow?"

I waited for about two minutes, but there was no reply.

He dialed the number again. It rang a few times before being hung up. Then a message popped up on WeChat.

"Okay. I'm busy right now, we can talk properly when I get back tonight."

Wei Yi stared at the words "talk properly" for a few seconds.

He keenly sensed that his sister seemed a little different today.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

That's Chen Xinyi.

How different can it be?

At worst, she'll just start yelling about wanting to take care of herself again.

But now that he's mastered his skills, he thinks he can take me down? Ridiculous!

Wei Yi changed into a white shirt, quickly combed his hair a couple of times, picked up his car keys, and went out.

As the X5 drove out of Zhichun East Lane, it was an autumn afternoon in Yanjing, and sunlight filtered through the gaps in the plane tree leaves, scattering golden fragments on the ground.

Forty minutes later, at China World Trade Center Phase 3.

While Wei Yi was waiting for the elevator downstairs, Su Lai quickly caught up from behind.

She wore a dark blue suit jacket with a white shirt underneath, and unusually, she wore light makeup, which made her round face look much more pleasing to the eye.

"You actually arrived before me." Sulei looked him up and down. "Damn, so what if you're handsome? You look like a domineering CEO even in a tattered shirt."

"Is this how you talk to your boss?"

"Boss, I have a question for you. How much of our company's data can you remember?" Sulei pressed the elevator button, turned to look at him, and said, "Uncle Lin might ask some rather pointed questions later. My dear boss, are you ready?"

"President Su, President Su. I was wrong. Please forgive me! I'll treat you to Heytea for two months."

"Hmph, that's more like it!"

Sulei nodded in satisfaction.

She was actually quite satisfied with her boss.

First and foremost, he has to be handsome; that's the most crucial factor.

Every time he reports on his work, he sits in the boss's seat, exuding the aura of a super handsome and domineering CEO.

Whether it's true or false, I won't say.

At least it's pleasing to the eye.

If he weren't handsome.

Back when she was still learning to drive, she wouldn't have given him a second glance.

What?

Does he have money and the idea of ​​starting a business?

Tsk.

Does Miss Su from Beijing lack an opportunity to start her own business?

If she wants to.

I reckon that when she's in high school, someone will be giving her money and ideas to start her own business!

To be frank, she had some ideas back then.

We worked together for a long time afterward.

Even though he already knew he had Chen Xinyi.

She had no interest in that area anymore, but she still thought the boss was pretty good.

Being handsome is one aspect.

They dare to delegate power and are capable of doing so.

At the same time, she has a certain strategic vision, which is the main reason why she is willing to continue to assist him in starting his business.

As for now.

She already felt that the trip was highly likely to succeed.

Besides the reason why IDG Capital took notice of it so early on.

It was also because Su Lai officially met Wei Yi's sister.

In just over a week, Su Lai had already won over Chen Xinyi.

In fact, Wei Yi was unaware that this was all before she even called him.

Sulai had already called Chen Xinyi to inform her of this matter in advance.

It was after she discussed it with Chen Xinyi that Su Lai called Wei Yi.

"I've got it."

Now, while waiting for the elevator.

She whispered to Wei Yi, "When we go upstairs, try to act deep and domineering, like a CEO."

"Financing needs, valuation expectations, and intended use of funds—I'll handle all of that for you. From now on, I'll be your secretary. Understand?"

"Yes, Secretary Su."

"Um……?"

"President Su, President Su."

"Um."

The elevator doors opened. Sulei stepped inside, leaned against the handrail, glanced at him, and suddenly smiled.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." She shook her head, her smile still lingering. "It's just that I used to think my life was good enough. But now I realize that in some ways, your life is actually better than mine."

"Of course!"

Wei Yi was quite certain of this.

If you're unlucky, you wouldn't have died a pleasant death in your past life.

If I were unlucky, I wouldn't have had such a great life in my past life.

It's even possible to be reborn, and it can be even more amazing!
