Mother Zeng Jing pointed to the empty sofa opposite and said, "Sit down, Xiaozhe, sit down and talk."
So Xu Zhe sat down and asked with a smile: "Why are you making it so serious?"
Xu Guowei rubbed his hands and said, "I just checked again. There is a full 140,000 in the company account. Originally there was more than 20,000 that had not been spent, and now there is an additional 120,000. Adding it all together, it is this much."
Zeng Jing couldn't help but laugh a little: "How did you 'confirm'? You clearly confirmed it many times, looking at the string of numbers over and over again..."
Xu Guowei: "Stop messing around, let's talk business. Xiaozhe, what are your plans next?"
Xu Zhe: "Of course I will continue to make games. But I have to be more serious about the next game, and there will be development costs. Because I can't do all the work myself anymore, that would be inefficient, slow, and the finished product would be average. I have to spend some money to hire professionals to do the work."
Zeng Jing suddenly said, "Your father and I were discussing this issue just now. If you recruit employees now, will they come to work in the small office you rented? The working environment doesn't seem very good, and you are going to the provincial capital to attend high school next year, so it won't be very convenient."
Xu Guowei: "When the time comes, will we move the office to the provincial capital?"
Xu Zhe said without thinking: "I have considered this issue. In the early days of starting a business, I wanted to reduce costs as much as possible, so I only hired online part-time employees. Now the office is just a registration place, and it is too shabby for employees to work. Might as well let others stay at home.”
Zeng Jing: "Is it possible to work part-time online?"
Xu Zhe: "We can only give it a try. The chips are still very limited now. I estimate that the fruit-cutting game can only bring in a total profit of about 500,000. If we want to build a better office and hire a group of people to work in the office, it is hard to say how long we can sustain it. Besides, I am too young, and showing my face will not be able to intimidate the employees, so it is better to work online."
"Only 500,000..." Xu Guowei took a breath, "You are really getting more and more like that."
Xu Zhe smiled and shook his head without explaining - in fact, compared to when he first started working on "Fruit Cutting", his expectations have been lowered a lot. When he first started last year, he was thinking about making a mobile game popular on the Internet, replicating the road to fame of "Fruit Ninja" in the previous life, and directly achieving a small goal.
But after he really started, the endless difficulties and obstacles in reality made him realize that it was not that simple. Even the simplest mobile game was much more complicated than he imagined.
Zeng Jing asked again: "When you make your next game, is there anything you need our help with?"
Xu Zhe: "I can't think of one for now. If I need your help, I'll tell you directly."
"well……"
The couple nodded at the same time, and looked at each other, their eyes filled with unspeakable emotions.
Xu Guowei suddenly said, "When you ranked first in the grade for several consecutive years, we thought you were amazing...Who knows, you can be even more amazing."
Zeng Jing smiled and said, "Your father never likes to praise you in person, and now he has broken his rules."
"haha, yes."
Xu Zhe also smiled, but there were tears in his eyes.
Because in his previous life, his father never praised him in person. When he occasionally got good grades in elementary school, his mother would praise him, but his father would always say something like "You are just a little bit better", "Don't be so cocky", "Don't be proud and complacent"...
So Xu Zhe rubbed his eyes, pretended to smile calmly and said, "Now you won't tell me to learn with an open mind and not be proud?"
Xu Guowei said self-deprecatingly: "Come on, you are much calmer than me now, there is no need for me to say anything more."
Zeng Jing also joked: "Your dad has been shaking his legs since he came home, and he hasn't stopped shaking."
Hearing this, Xu Zhe looked over and saw his father putting his hands on both thighs, forcibly holding down his shaking legs.
Xu Zhe suddenly had an idea: "How about we play billiards later? You won't be able to aim well if you're shaking like this."
Xu Guowei: "You are taking advantage of others' misfortune, right?"

At dinner time on Friday, Tang Lingfei picked up her chopsticks and looked at her parents, and suddenly she couldn't hold it back anymore.
There were some things she wanted to talk about yesterday, but she was only thinking about them by herself and chatting with Song Xingye, and didn't tell her parents. But now, she couldn't hold back her desire to share and confide.
So the girl said: "Xu Zhe is getting more and more powerful now."
"Oh……"
"Um……"
The parents' reaction was extremely cold, as if they heard words like 'there were clouds this afternoon' or 'there was a little wind last night'.
Tang Lingfei: "Listen to me!"
Tang Wanghai sneered, "Why, do you want to learn from him and emulate him?"
Tang Lingfei: "How is that possible!"
The mother also laughed: "What else do you have to say?"
Tang Lingfei cleared her throat and said seriously: "What I want to say is that Xu Zhe is not only doing well in school, but also making money!"
Tang Wanghai shrugged. "What a novelty! He helped me trade stocks last year or two ago. Did you just know about this?"
Tang Lingfei slammed the table and said, "But he is making money from gaming now, 100,000 a month!"
Now, the couple couldn't remain calm anymore.
Tang Wanghai exchanged a glance with his wife, then looked at his daughter who had spoken so shockingly, and asked in astonishment, "How much did you say? One hundred thousand? A month?"
The girl's face was full of pride: "Yes, I made 100,000 in just one month, isn't that amazing?"
Tang Wanghai suddenly remembered the little game he had tried a few days ago: "Is it the one about cutting fruits?"
Tang Lingfei nodded: "That's it. Xu Zhefa sold many copies in a Pingguo store in a foreign country, and sold them in US dollars! He said that the 100,000 yuan was actually the income from the month before last, and it will be paid to him recently. The income from last month will be even more, it will arrive next month..."
Tang Wanghai put down his chopsticks and had no appetite anymore. "Won't he be able to earn over 100,000 yuan every month in the future?"
At this time, Tang's mother said quietly: "Xu Zhe has made so much money, so in the future, will we still have the nerve to let him be a tutor?"
Before she finished speaking, Tang Lingfei suddenly became anxious: "What's there to be embarrassed about?"
Tang Wanghai also reacted: "You are embarrassed, but we are not. Do you know how much our family pays Xu Zhe for tutoring? After school started, there were eight classes a week, and it was only a few hundred yuan a month. Other people can make hundreds of thousands of dollars from their games. How many times is the difference? If I were him, I would definitely look down on this tutoring fee. It's not even a fraction of it."
Tang Lingfei was speechless, not knowing how to refute. Because from this perspective, she found that she really couldn't refute what her parents said.
Xu Zhe is making so much money, does he still need this little tutoring fee?
So what's the reason to keep a fixed time with him every weekend?
Tang Wanghai pondered for a while, then took out his phone: "I need to verify it first and ask Lao Xu if this is the case."
The call was dialed and connected after a while.
"Hey, Wei Ge... Uh, no, Brother Xu, I want to ask you something. I heard from my daughter that the game Xiaozhe made made money, right?... What, why do you think I want to borrow money from you? Don't be ridiculous, I'm just asking... Yeah, yeah, that's it... So he's really making Mi Yuan, tens of thousands, which converts to... yeah, that's really amazing... Okay, okay, you guys continue playing, I won't disturb you playing billiards."
After praising them, Tang Wanghai hung up the phone and looked at his wife and daughter.
"Yes, it's true. But this kid was shaking in front of me. I really should record his smug and reserved attitude so that you can listen to it!"
Tang's mother pondered and said, "That's why we can't let Xu Zhe continue to be a tutor. He earns so much money, and he has to take time out from making games to teach Feifei. It's definitely not for that little money. It would be too embarrassing to force him to do so."
Tang Wanghai also said: "Yes..."
Tang Lingfei stood up immediately.
She really wanted to say - forget it if you feel embarrassed, what does it have to do with me!
But then I thought again, it was my parents who paid the money, and it was Xu Zhe who did the work, so what reason did I have to be willful?
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Tang Lingfei lost her appetite and turned back to her bedroom.
The mother quickly shouted, "You've only taken two bites, finish your meal..."
"I don't want to eat it!"
Tang Lingfei closed the door and refused to come out again.
----
On Saturday morning, as usual, Xu Zhe and Song Xingye came to Tang Lingfei's bedroom. But not long after they started tutoring, the two part-time teachers realized something.
Tang Lingfei's mood today seemed a little subtle.
After seeing her choose the wrong answer again, Xu Zhe said, "How can this answer be an A? Your current level shouldn't be like this."
Song Xingye also advised gently: "Fei Fei, did you not sleep well last night? Why don't we take a rest before studying..."
Tang Lingfei suddenly turned her head to look at the boy and said, "I told my parents last night that you made 100,000 yuan a month. Then they said that it was a bit embarrassing to ask you to tutor me again."
Xu Zhe raised his eyebrows slightly: "Because you think the price you gave me is too low?"
Tang Lingfei: "Yeah, it's only a few hundred yuan a month. If I let you come to my house every weekend... it can't be compared to the money you make from making games."
Xu Zhe smiled and said, "Did your parents ask you to come and tell me?"
"Yes, they think I'm easier to talk to you, so they asked you what you think. Are you still willing to tutor me?"
When asking this question, Tang Lingfei blinked twice with her big eyes and stared at him straight, with some unspeakable expectation in her eyes.
Xu Zhe could see that the girl really wanted him to continue tutoring her. But the parents' opinions were probably another matter. After all, adults' thoughts were more complicated. They had to consider money, human feelings, and interpersonal relationships...
He groaned and said, "To be honest, I'm really not interested in this little tutoring fee."
Hearing this, Tang Lingfei held onto the edge of the table with both hands and almost fell down.
However, there is more to Xu Zhe's words.
"But I think it's actually quite relaxing here. It's nice to rest here after work. Of course, I can tutor you occasionally, but that's purely out of interest, and I don't need to pay you."
Before she finished her words, Tang Lingfei sat up straight again.
She quickly asked, "So, are you going to continue tutoring me?"
Xu Zhe: "You don't have to charge for tutoring. I'll give my share of the tutoring fee to Xiaoye. My house is so close anyway, so I can sit next to you while Xiaoye tutors you, and you can use my computer to do something else. How about that?"
What Tang Lingfei needs is his serious guidance, or just his presence?
The next moment, the girl's reaction made it clear that her real need was the latter, not the former.
Tang Lingfei immediately hugged him and said happily: "That's it, that's it, great!"
Song Xingye, who was standing aside, stared at the two of them with a complicated look.
After hugging for a while, Tang Lingfei turned around and grabbed her bestie's hand again, smiling, "Did you hear that just now? Xu Zhe said that he would give you all his tutoring fees in the future. Doesn't your family need money? This is perfect, right!"
Song Xingye nodded, but her delicate neck was a little stiff: "Yes, just right."
It would have been better if you hadn’t hugged him so hard in front of me just now - Song Xingye secretly complained.

On Sunday morning, as soon as Xu Zhe got up, he saw his parents blocking the bedroom door.
"What's wrong?" He rubbed his eyes and asked blankly.
"It's okay, put it on first." Mother Zeng Jing said this, pointing to the clothes on the table. It was a long-sleeved sweatshirt and a pair of sports pants.
Xu Zhe has long been accustomed to taking care of himself, including washing and hanging clothes, which he tries to do by himself. Anyway, there is a washing machine at home, so it is not a big deal. For him, the last time his parents prepared clothes for him to wear was in elementary school, which subjectively feels like more than ten years ago.
So he was naturally a little uncomfortable at this time: "Why are you two staring at me?"
Xu Guowei sneered, "Are you still shy with us? No need, just wear it."
Xu Zhe was too lazy to argue with his parents, so he picked up his clothes and put them on. But just as he was done, he heard his mother clapping.
Zeng Jing smiled and said, "Look, I know this is already the longest and loosest pair of pants, and it's still short."
Xu Guowei: "You've grown taller. It's time to buy new clothes."
Xu Zhe came to his senses and said, "Oh, so you guys were thinking about this so early in the morning?"
Zeng Jing: "That's a big worry, isn't it? You've already made hundreds of thousands of dollars, wouldn't it be nice to use some of your change to buy clothes? Or if you don't want to spend your startup capital, just ask your dad to buy it for you!"
Xu Guowei couldn't help but was stunned: "Didn't you say that we both bought it? Why is it just me? Besides, do I have any private money?"
Zeng Jing said firmly: "Yes!"
