After rebirth, I found out that I have a childhood sweetheart

Apart from studying, Liu Xiaoyu spends most of her time helping Xia Yuan compose melodies. Mei Fang now has almost no chance to be alone with her, and basically hears about her recent situation from Xia Yuan.

After being caught several times, Mei Fang would occasionally feel a little embarrassed when seeing Liu Xiaoyu, but they both tacitly understood each other and never mentioned it.

In the blink of an eye, 2012 has passed and 2013 has arrived.

The financing plan of C Station and Penguin was officially announced at the beginning of the year. The market saw this cooperation as Penguin's entry into the two-dimensional world and its confrontation with Shengda Network, the capital behind A Station.

Of course, this confrontation will not last too long, because the once prosperous Shengda Network will gradually fall apart within the next two years and become a dying candle in the wind.

Its gaming industry and technology industry will become independent Shengda Company and Shengqu Games;

Its game platform Bianfeng Games will also establish itself as the king with the thriving Three Kingdoms Killing OL;

And its layout in the field of online literature, Shengda Literature, will also usher in the final chapter. After leaving Shengda Network, it will become Penguin's most important IP incubation headquarters.

This is the origin of the well-known and well-known Yuewen Group.

Shengda Network is also a lost youth for Mei Fang in his previous life and young people of his age.

Once upon a time, Shengda Pass was also the most important virtual asset for domestic game players. Its status was not much lower than that of Penguin Account. To a large extent, the many achievements that Penguin has made in the entire entertainment field so far have been cannibalized by the fallen corpse of Shengda.

The old overlords of the gaming industry are declining, while the new overlords are in their heyday. As a reborn person, Mei Fang started from scratch with Xia Yuan's ten dollars, and has barely kept up with the tide of the times. Although he can't reach the level of riding the waves, he is also following the penguin to ride the wind and waves.

After that, Station C will have to face direct competition from Station A and a brutal copyright war, so it needs some epoch-making changes.

The next most important update plan for Station C is the live broadcast function, which is also a new trend that the Internet industry is about to usher in in the near future.

In the near future, the first generation version of Douyu, the former live streamer, [Live Broadcast], will be released under the leadership of Chen Shaojie, the actual controller of A Station.

The early success of Douyu, the top live streaming platform, was largely due to the traffic from Station A, not to mention that it was originally a section of Station A.

Although Bilibili has not come into being, the A Station in this life is not much better than the A Station that Mei Fang saw in his previous life. A Station, the abandoned child of this era, may eventually go down the path of decline. This is both an opportunity and a challenge for C Station.

Station C is still implementing a relatively strict membership registration system. Only formal members are eligible to upload and submit videos, as well as have completely unlimited rights to send barrages. Other than that, informal members have all the current functional permissions. Mei Fang is already trying to attract some general users to join.

However, although Mei Fang has taken cautious steps towards marketization, the act of opening up barrage permission to informal members still caused a crisis of trust among core users.

Recently, some users have begun to discuss whether Miss has lost her original intention because of Penguin's financing. In the end, Mei Fang relied on the plan of limiting the number of barrages per day for informal members, which slightly calmed some public dissatisfaction.

Anyway, starting a business and working is really a difficult thing.

But after going through so much, it can be said that all the hard work has paid off, and this year's efforts have finally lived up to the expectations of most people.

After the end of the semester, Mei Fang was not in a hurry to return to his hometown. He had to organize and attend the first annual meeting of his company at Linxi Technology first. Mei Fang asked Sister Yueyue to prepare sufficiently generous annual meeting prizes, trying to attract more talents to join the company. He invited everyone to have a meal at a star-rated hotel, and spoke briefly on behalf of the three giants of C Station at the meeting.

Mei Fang does not like the cumbersome drinking table culture and organizational structure. This year, in addition to affirming everyone's efforts, he also promoted a small group of technical backbones to become the persons in charge of various functions of the website. Only the manager position is still vacant. Now he can only hope that Sister Yueyue can summon a powerful helper like uncle in this dimension to help Mei Fang promote the implementation of his plan.

In this Jiangcheng annual meeting, in addition to Liu Xiaoyu and Guo Yun who were originally on secondment in the company, classmates Wan Chaoxiong and Zhu Nainai also attended, which could be regarded as an opportunity for them to see the world.

The employees of Station C are enjoying the annual meeting organized by their high school student boss. The benefits accrued to each employee will become their sense of belonging, and they believe that they will have a brighter future following the station master.

As for the year-end bonus, the company's members will have it directly deposited into their cards; as for the members he has trained, Mei Fang plans to return and give them the bonuses like he did last year. This special care will ensure that Yue Xinyi, Peng Xue and others who did not participate in the annual meeting will not feel lost due to lack of participation.

After the annual meeting, everyone started preparing to go home for the New Year. Liu Xiaoyu was taking the bus back to Baimei County this afternoon, so he was quite rushed to attend the annual meeting.

However, before leaving, Liu Xiaoyu took the initiative to find Mei Fang, asked about the distribution of the year-end bonus, and put forward a small request.

"Can I get an advance on this year's bonus?"

"Of course you can, but I'm afraid you don't have enough money to pack it in. You'll have to use a school bag to put it in."

"No... cash is fine."

"Haha, just kidding."

Seeing that Liu Xiaoyu was in a hurry, Mei Fang contacted the finance department to transfer the money to Liu Xiaoyu's card in advance. After handling all this, Mei Fang asked her, "Is there something wrong at home?"

Liu Xiaoyu shook his head: "Not really... I just thought that this money could be used to pay off the family's debts and reduce the burden a little."

"Well... that's good. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me again."

Liu Xiaoyu smiled and replied, "No need... I have already received a lot of care from you guys... I am really grateful that you can create so many amazing things and give me this opportunity to participate in them."

"Don't say you're ours or ours. You have contributed to all these great achievements. Don't be so polite."

Although Mei Fang would give preferential treatment to his friends, he would never keep idle people in the company. He was very satisfied with Liu Xiaoyu's work attitude and efficiency, and he believed that Liu Xiaoyu deserved the praise.

Thinking of this, Mei Fang pondered for a while, "However, if you are tired of helping Yuanyuan and want to make some achievements of your own, we will also provide you with more independent development opportunities, which is also what Yuanyuan expects."

Liu Xiaoyu waved his hands after hearing this: "I won't get tired of making things with Yuanyuan! I think I can learn a lot..."

“Haha… I was just giving an example, but what I learned should be able to be presented on a better stage.”

Mei Fang said, "I remember you said before that you were very interested in Yuanyuan's band. If you have any ideas, I will support you like I supported Peng Xue... Of course, you should have quite a bit of savings now. In short, it all depends on your own career plan. I think now is the time to consider these things."

"Well... I understand. I will seriously consider it." Liu Xiaoyu lowered his head and responded. Then he raised his head and smiled at Mei Fang. "Thank you, Mei Fang."

Chapter 265 Let’s go to Afang’s house to celebrate the New Year together?

After the company's annual meeting held in Jiangcheng, the annual separation season finally arrived again.

Having spent so much time with his childhood sweethearts, Mei Fang did not feel too much about the separation. After all, he had too many things to do.

But Xia Yuan, who was in the midst of a passionate love affair, didn't think so. She pulled Lin Youxi and Mei Fang together to do the math:

"Although we agreed to determine the dating time by semester, if we were to go by semester, I would always go to the first semester, which is shorter than the second semester."

"Besides, we only started dating in late October this year, and it was only the beginning of January when we broke up at the end of the semester. So, Afang and I had only been dating for less than three months. Not to mention that Afang had to go back to his hometown at the beginning of the year, so I couldn't be with Afang for two weeks..."

Mei Fang and Lin Youxi listened quietly to Xia Yuan's tearful accusation, and immediately couldn't help but shook their heads and said:

"If you had put half as much effort into your math problems, you wouldn't have gotten such a bad score on the final exam—"

Xia Yuan muttered carelessly, asking Mei Fang not to continue.

"Ahhh - stop talking! I'm different from you guys, and I've been focusing entirely on Ah Fang lately. I haven't been studying well at all."

Lin Youxi shook her head. "This is not an excuse for such a bad grade. My mind was always on Ah Fang, but I still got first place in the class, didn't I?"

"No, even if I want to compare you, I can't compare you with me..."

Mei Fang supported Xia Yuan here. "Putting aside the fact that Yuanyuan failed math, I think what Yuanyuan said is also good. Although we didn't directly announce our relationship on social media platforms, if we break up so early, it will easily backfire. I don't mind being scolded, but Yuanyuan's evaluation will also be affected."

"In that case, let's adjust the deadline of our previous secret agreement."

Lin Youxi thought about it and said, "Let's set the limit to one year. Ah Fang will belong to Yuan Yuan in his second year of high school, and he will belong to me in his third year of high school. How do you think this works?"

"Wow... Youxi, you are so nice!"

Xia Yuan was very touched and hugged Lin Youxi, clinging to her and petting her. Lin Youxi seemed to enjoy Xia Yuan's clinging and acted very doting.

While hugging Xia Yuan, she asked Mei Fang, "Come to think of it, we haven't visited your house since Ah Fang moved to the new house. I was thinking that Yuanyuan and I didn't have much to do at home before the New Year. You said before that your house is now very big, I wonder if I can live in your house?"

Mei Fang was stunned when he heard this: "Ah? Living in my house... Can you convince my family to agree?"

"I discussed it with my mom last night, and she said as long as Yuanyuan goes, it's fine."

"..."

Xia Yuan was still thinking about how to spend the two weeks without Mei Fang, but he suddenly came to his senses after hearing Youxi's words.

"Oh, that's right! I've actually moved now, so it's not very convenient for me to go play with Youxi and Xiaoxue."

"Although, it's not easy to go home..."

Mei Fang scratched his head helplessly, "I think it would be better for you to spend more time with your parents, right?"

"Ah Fang, what do you mean by that——"

Xia Yuan frowned, put her hands on her waist and looked annoyed, "Are you feeling a little bored with being with us?"

"How can you possibly be bored when you say that?"

Mei Fang pinched Xia Yuan's face to comfort her, "I just think that Uncle Xia, Uncle Lin, and Teacher Yu haven't seen you for a long time, and they must miss you."

"We can video chat anyway, it's no big deal."

Xia Yuan continued to mutter, "Besides, Youxi and I usually have video chats with our parents, but we hardly have the chance to meet Uncle Mei and Aunt Xiang. Don't they miss Youxi and me?"

At this time, Lin Youxi also whispered in Mei Fang's ear: "Don't you still have to tell your family about the company you're running? They'll be more receptive if we tell them together with you."

"That's true... My mother loves you and Yuanyuan very much."

Mei Fang originally planned to confess his feelings during the New Year period when he returned to Baimei's hometown, but if he could make things clear as soon as he returned, it would save a lot of trouble.

"But isn't it too late to tell him today? My dad has already driven over to pick me up today... Hey, how should I tell him?"

Mei Fang was relatively familiar with Xia Xun's temper, so he also knew how to deal with him.

"It's okay, you can just stay like this when the time comes..."

After listening to Mei Fang's statement, Lin Youxi expressed his own views.

“While it’s a good plan, I feel it’s not enough.”

Although Xia Xun has always acted like an open-minded father, he actually has a bottom line. "Maybe we need to do this and that to really convince Uncle Xia to agree to Yuanyuan's visit to Afang's house."

Xia Xun, who hadn't seen his daughter for a long time, happily drove to Jiangcheng to pick up his daughter and take her home.

Now his daughter Xia Yuan is well-known to many people because of her popularity on the Internet. Xia Xun, his father, is now called a celebrity dad whenever he goes out. Although he appears calm on the surface, he is very proud inside.

My daughter has loved music since she was young. Her achievements today are inseparable from her own talent and the education she received from her father in her early years.

His mobile phone contains every video and song released by Xia Yuan, and he would take them out and watch them when he missed his daughter.

But he also knows that his daughter is at the age when she is just beginning to fall in love, and her liking for boys would temporarily be higher than that of her father.

If he seemed to miss his daughter too much and expected her to be his little cotton-padded jacket, he would appear to be a childish father, so he came here today mentally prepared to be treated coldly by his daughter.

However, when he drove to the gate of the community, he unexpectedly saw his daughter standing in the cold wind waiting for him.

Seeing his father's license plate, Xia Yuan excitedly greeted his father.

Xia Xun parked his car on the side and was about to get out to ask Xia Yuan about the situation when Xia Yuan suddenly rushed up and hugged Xia Xun.

"Dad! Long time no see!"

After Xia Yuan hugged his father, he playfully patted Xia Xun's back vigorously, "You look a lot fatter than in the video, what's going on?"

"Uh... um..."

Xia Xun scratched his head, "In fact, your mother's cooking skills have become much better than before."

"Wow! Is this true? I must try it when I get back."

Xia Xun nodded, and then looked at Mei Fang, who he had just ignored. Mei Fang also stepped forward and greeted Xia Xun at this time: "Hello, Uncle Xia."
