Tang Wanghai raised his eyebrows: "You have a daughter too?"

Song Huaifeng looked at Tang Wanghai, then at Xu Zhe, frowned, and felt that things didn't seem simple.

He asked, "Friend, is your daughter's last name Tang as well?"

Tang Wanghai: "How novel! What else can my daughter be named if not Tang?"

Song Huaifeng quickly said, "No, no, no, what I mean is that your daughter might know my daughter. Is her name... Feifei?"

Tang Wanghai: "Oh yes, my daughter's name is Tang Lingfei."

Song Huaifeng: "My girl's name is Song Xingye."

Tang Wanghai slapped his thigh and said, "So you are her father! Isn't this a coincidence? Your daughter has come to my house many times and has even tutored my daughter!"

Song Huaifeng looked at Xu Zhe: "This may not be a coincidence..."

Tang Wanghai smiled and said, "Oh, my wife and I are especially grateful to Song Xingye. If it weren't for her, my daughter's academic performance would never have improved so much! Of course, half of this is also due to Xu Zhe. Anyway, today I finally met Song Xingye's parents. Thank you!"

Song Huaifeng also smiled: "You're welcome, you're welcome, I'm glad to meet you too."

Xu Zhe: "Everyone, don't be polite. Come on, let's play first."

So Song Huaifeng took the phone and played with it for a few minutes. He failed several times during these few minutes, but he became more skilled each time and survived longer.

When returning the phone to Xu Zhe, Song Huaifeng said thoughtfully: "This game is indeed interesting. Has there ever been a game designed specifically for touch screens?"

Xu Zhe handed the phone to Tang Wanghai again.

Tang Wanghai also played for a few minutes and also failed several times. Although the two daughters' gaming skills were very different, the two uncles seemed to play the game in the same way.

"Old Xu, what do you think?" Tang Wanghai looked at Xu Guowei and asked.

Xu Guowei: "I think it's OK, but making money from this... I can't say."

Tang Wanghai handed the phone back and said, "I don't know how to make money from games. But being able to make such a fresh little game is already very impressive."

Xu Guowei smiled and said, "Of course not, he is my son after all."

Tang Wanghai looked at Xu Zhe and said, "Look at your dad. Xiaozhe, let me tell you something. If you want to be a boss in the future, you should learn from your dad's shamelessness."

Xu Zhe smiled and said, "I will study hard."

Xu Guowei: "You are much more shameless than me, how dare you say that to me?"

"Come on...Okay, let's talk next time. I'm still at work. Let's go."

Tang Wanghai glanced at his watch, waved and left. Song Huaifeng also said goodbye and went to work full-time at the computer mall.

Only Xu Zhe and Xu Guowei, father and son, were left in the office.

Xu Zhe was observing his surroundings.

This office is quite old, with shoe prints on the wall, cigarette butts in the corners, and visible stains on the floor. When you touch the desk with your fingers, you can clearly feel the dust.

"But it's okay, it's just a temporary registration address anyway..." Xu Zhe muttered to himself.

Suddenly, my father said slowly, "Have you noticed a problem?"

Hearing this out of the blue, Xu Zhe thought there was something wrong with this office, and his heart tightened slightly: "What's the problem?"

Xu Guowei: "The two uncles who are helping you both have a daughter."

Xu Zhe thought for a moment and said, "Well, if we calculate based on the 50/50 chance of having a boy or a girl, this is a one in four chance, which is not bad."

"Who asked you to calculate the probability?" Xu Guowei glared at his son, "Do you know what I'm talking about?"

Xu Zhe: "I know. You said they both have daughters."

Xu Guowei: "So what is your relationship with those two girls?"

Xu Zhe said calmly: "I think the two uncles are willing to help me mainly because I have a friendship with them, not because I have little to do with their daughters."

Xu Guowei: "I know you have friendships with both of them. I'm just asking you, what is your relationship with their daughters?"

Xu Zhe: “Friends and classmates.”

Xu Guowei: "Is it that simple? Let me make it clear first, I'm not stupid and neither are you. You can definitely see the clues."

This time, Xu Zhe was silent for a long time.

Then he said, "In the future, I mean in a few years, maybe I will fall in love with one of them. But who can say for sure about the future?"

Xu Guowei: "You'd better choose only one..."

Xu Zhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Who do you think I am? Of course I can only choose one, what else?"

Although his son was so confident, Xu Guowei had a bad feeling. To this day, he is not worried about his son's learning and ability to do things, but it seems that he is not so sure about his emotions. After all, his son is only fourteen years old, and he is busy studying and playing games. How can he have any emotional experience? What if this kid loses face in the future?

It was the limitation of the times. Xu Guowei didn’t know what “setting a flag” meant…

Chapter 119 Thinking of You

2023-09-06

"You two are so boring. One is first in the class, and the other is second. There is no change at all."

Tang Lingfei complained like this on the last day she went to school before the winter vacation.

At this time, she, Xu Zhe, and Song Xingye had just walked out of the teaching building and were heading towards the school gate. From time to time, classmates they knew would pass by and shout "Hello, monitor" or "Goodbye, monitor". Xu Zhe would respond with a polite smile and "Happy winter vacation".

Most of the people who called him class monitor were girls. Even if some of them wanted to talk to Xu Zhe for a while, they would notice the two girls standing on his left and right, so they would not say much.

Song Xingye didn't seem to notice the gossipy looks from the girls. She just smiled and said, "Xu Zhe hasn't changed, but my grades have fluctuated. Last time I was fourth in the grade, but this time I dropped to sixth."

Tang Lingfei felt an indescribable malice: "Is this considered a fluctuation? Is this considered a setback?"

Song Xingye: "Two places down..."

While the two girls were chatting and laughing, Xu Zhe raised his eyes and saw a figure standing outside the school gate.

She was a short-haired girl wearing a slightly mature jacket and jeans. At first glance, she looked like an adult. But if you look closely at her delicate and slightly immature face, you will understand that she is not yet mature enough.

That was Shen Lan, whom I hadn’t seen for almost half a year.

After Shen Lan and Xu Zhe's eyes met, they did not take the initiative to approach each other. Instead, they took two steps back and almost hid behind a big tree on the side of the road.

This action made Xu Zhe stunned for a moment. As a result, his pace was slightly slower, and he lagged behind Song Xingye and Tang Lingfei by one or two steps.

The phone in my pocket vibrated.

When he took it out and looked at it, it was a text message from Shen Lan: [You are chatting with your friends, so I won't join in the fun. But you should still make games later, right? My progress in self-studying programming this semester may be good, and I may be able to help you. So when the time comes, should I go directly to your house or what? ]

Xu Zhe immediately realized a fact - this message, such a long paragraph, could not be typed in just one or two seconds. In other words, Shen Lan had already foreseen that she would walk out of the school with the two girls, and just stood there to confirm and then send the message.

The message he sent was simply impossible for him to refuse. Whether intellectually or emotionally, he had no reason to refuse.

So Xu Zhe replied: [Okay, I'll send you an address later, go to my office.]

After sending the message and looking up, he saw that Song Xingye and Tang Lingfei had stopped and were standing two or three meters in front of him, staring at him.

Tang Lingfei asked: "What are you doing?"

Xu Zhe smiled and said, "Nothing much, just sending a message to someone about work."

"Oh, I see." Tang Lingfei did not doubt him and did not ask any further questions.

Song Xingye also smiled and said, "You're thinking about work right after the winter break. Aren't you too eager to make money?"

Xu Zhe: "How can I not be positive when I want to make money?"

----

In the afternoon, Shen Lan found the office according to the instructions sent by Xu Zhe.

When he heard footsteps in the corridor, Xu Zhe came out and greeted the smiling girl.

Shen Lan's expression was still as calm as before, but there was a hint of unconcealable joy in her beautiful, heroic eyes.

"This is the company's office. It's very small and there's nothing there. You have to bring your own laptop to work. But the electricity and internet are both available. The offices next to it are all owned by other companies. Our company only has this small area."

Xu Zhe introduced her and led her in.

The office was about the size of an average family's living room, with two desks and five chairs, and almost nothing else. On one of the desks, there was a brand new business license.

Shen Lan took a curious look at the information on the license and asked, "The company's name is Chongkai Technology? Why is it called this name?"

Because I have started over again in this life - Xu Zhe certainly couldn't say that, so he just answered seriously: "Adhere to science and develop technology."

Shen Lan: "Is that so..."

Xu Zhe: “That’s right.”

Shen Lan didn't bother about the company name anymore. After all, in her opinion, this name didn't add any points, but it didn't deduct any points either. It was just average.

She just smiled and asked, "So now, how can I help?"

Xu Zhe handed over the phone: "The game has actually been developed. You can try it first and tell me if you have any comments. Then, you should learn more about the Pingguo App Store, especially the Omi Market. The game is targeted for sale there."

Shen Lan took the phone, sat down and started playing.

Xu Zhe stood behind her and watched silently.

He noticed that Shen Lan's reaction was obviously quicker than those uncles and Song Xingye, but her finger's accuracy in cutting fruit still seemed to be inferior to Tang Lingfei's. After playing three times, although the survival time was longer each time, two or three minutes was the limit.

As they were playing, Shen Lan praised: "It's very well done. If you hadn't told me, I would have thought it was made by a professional gaming company."

Xu Zhe: "It's possible for a small studio. But if a professional game company of a certain scale comes up with this after all this work, it will be criticized to bits."

Shen Lan looked back at him: "Are you so unconfident?"

Xu Zhe: "No, I am actually quite confident, because the game market on Pingguo is now a blue ocean. It is enough for the game quality to meet the passing line, it does not need to be too high, the important thing is the timing, and we must not delay it."

Shen Lan nodded: "I understand. But... I want to go off topic now."

Xu Zhe: “Off topic?”

Shen Lan pointed at his trouser legs and smiled, "I noticed that you seem to have grown taller. Look, your trousers seem a little short."

Xu Zhe looked down. Indeed, the trouser legs that used to cover the upper part of the shoes could hardly cover the ankles now.

Shen Lan: "You are 1.6 meters tall now, right?"

Xu Zhe: "Maybe, but I haven't measured my height recently. You haven't changed much, your hairstyle is the same as it was half a year ago."

Shen Lan's smile froze for a moment.

The hairstyle Xu Zhe mentioned was really a problem that troubled her. She originally wanted to try growing her hair long, but as she grew it, she found that the transition from short hair to long hair seemed a bit awkward. And this awkward period happened to be during the winter vacation.

So before returning from the provincial capital, she simply went to the barber shop and got her hairstyle back to her original style.

At this time, Shen Lan pretended to be calm and said, "Short hair is easier to manage, so I can focus more time and energy on studying, instead of spending half a day trying to style my hair."

Xu Zhe gave a thumbs up: "That's good! Besides, short hair suits you well."

Shen Lan raised her eyebrows slightly: "Do you think it looks good?"

Xu Zhe nodded: "It looks very good."

Shen Lan couldn't help laughing again.

Countdown to this book’s release: It will be on the shelves on Friday, three days left.

120. Chapter 120 120 Anxiety

120.

2023-09-06

On the fifth day of the winter vacation, with the help of Song Huaifeng and Shen Lan, Xu Zhe completed the entire process, including registering a developer account, paying with a credit card, and obtaining the Dun & Bradstreet code.

Then on the seventh day, after receiving the official news that the Pingguo account had passed the review, Xu Zhe released the APP and put it on the shelves.

The game "Fruit Cutting" is priced at 0.49 million yuan - he feels that the quality is not as good as the original version in his previous life, so the price is half of the original.
