Rebirth: Growing Up Together

In order to show his sincerity, Xu Cheng took a few steps back.

"Just give it a try. You'll know if it's comfortable or not after you try it."

The girl glanced at him and then tentatively put her delicate feet down, tapping the water surface a few times like a dragonfly. When she felt the temperature was right, she pushed her whole foot in.

"Comfortable, huh?"

Only then did Xu Cheng squat down in front of the basin, grasped the girl's feet with his palms and pressed them lightly twice.

Lin Wanzhou's little feet jumped suddenly like a frightened rabbit, splashing water droplets on Xu Cheng's face.

"Oh, the water has spilled, don't get the sofa wet."

"Don't touch me..."

"I'm just massaging you. Just give it a try. If you say you feel uncomfortable, I'll stop immediately."

Try it again.

Similarly, the girl became a little moved again.

Thinking that my feet were not an important part of my body, and that he had touched them once or twice before, I did not resist this time and just let him do it.

Xu Cheng put his hands into the water, held the girl's fair feet, and slowly poured the warm water over the instep of the girl's feet.

After repeating this several times, he put her little feet into the basin and soaked them, kneading and pressing the girl's toes and soles.

There was only shame on the girl's face.

Yesterday I asked him to wash my hair, and today I asked him to wash my feet. Doesn't this mean that he has touched me from head to toe in just one day?

More than once!

After Xu Cheng wiped the girl clean with a towel, the girl retracted her feet and said in a soft voice, like a little girl whose feet had just been washed by her father.

"Xu Cheng, tell me a bedtime story later."

"Oh that's fine."

The boy responded calmly, and the girl eagerly went into bed to wait for him.

Xu Cheng turned off the lights in the room and only turned on the dim desk lamp.

"What do you want to hear? How about Snow White?"

"I want to hear something I haven't heard before. I still remember the little dog with a chainsaw stuck in its head that you told me about when I was a kid."

"Aren't you a timid person? Why do you like to listen to this kind of..."

"I just like it."

"Then let me tell you about this book. You haven't read it, right?" Xu Cheng picked up the book "The Count of Monte Cristo" that he had just picked up.

The girl nodded to indicate that she didn't look at it, and Xu Cheng half-lay beside her and began to talk to her softly.

Lin Wanzhou has never read this book because the theme of revenge makes him not very interested, so he has kept it on his bookshelf.

But Xu Cheng's gentle narration made her feel as if medieval Europe had really appeared before her eyes, and Edmond Dantes's life story had come to life.

"Huff~ I'm sleepy...Xu Cheng."

"That's all for today."

"I also want to know what happened to Dantes' fiancée after he went to prison."

"She couldn't wait for him, so she married Dantes's rival."

"why is it like this."

The girl showed an angry expression, Xu Cheng smiled and helped her to tidy up her hair, "After all, Dantes has been imprisoned for so many years. This character is also very complicated. After all, people are very complicated."

"Well, fourteen years, fourteen years is too long..." The girl stared at the ceiling for a long time.

Xu Cheng went to the bathroom, and when he came back, the girl had closed her eyes.

Her eyelashes are very long, and under the light, her eye sockets look like they are shaded by an umbrella, which looks very beautiful.

Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, Xu Cheng covered her with a blanket, then leaned over to the girl's ear and whispered something.

"Good night and sweet dreams, Lin Wanzhou."

Then he turned off the desk lamp, and in the quiet night, the boy lay down for a while, then ran to the girl and kissed her gently on the temple.

“The future is still far away.”

Chapter 305: Changes in Plan

The August wind brings a touch of warmth.

The specially made five-ring pattern and portraits of five mascots in different colors can already be seen in every corner of the city.

The Chinese people have shown unprecedented enthusiasm for the century-old sports dream.

In another area, practitioners are showing a passive and silent attitude.

Xu Cheng felt the storm sweeping in more clearly than in his previous life, and almost all companies could not remain immune to this storm.

However, Xu Cheng knows that the Internet industry has shown great resilience compared to other industries during this crisis, and has even achieved overall industry growth.

In the conference room.

"At present, our Hapi Farm has entered the top three plug-in applications of the campus network. The total number of registered users of Hapi.com is about 3 million, and the total number of registered users of Hapi Farm is about 7000 million. In other words, 5000% of Hapi.com users are playing Hapi Farm..."

"Fuck!"

"You're such a jerk!"

The employees were not sitting very straight, their faces were filled with excitement. Some of them took a sip of the Coke or milk tea on the table from time to time, and some even ate melon seeds.

Rather than a meeting, this scene is more like a banquet.

This is Xu Cheng's own leadership style. He hopes that the company is not too rigid and that ordinary meetings can be conducted in a comfortable manner.

This free and flexible environment adds a few more reasons to attract talented people to join this small company with less than 50 people.

Su Yu first reported the good news, and then the bad news, "Affected by the financial crisis, the growth rate of our advertising revenue this month has dropped significantly. It is estimated that the subsequent financing work will also be difficult. The current cash flow is a bit difficult to support the current server growth rate. It is estimated that it can only last for one month..."

"Fuck!"

"You're such a jerk!"

"What's going on with you two?"

"Since the company has no money, let's pack up and go home. How about I take the printer?"

"Don't let anyone snatch the projector from me."

"You are so ungrateful. If it were you, I would let everyone take a bowl and go begging on the street tomorrow. Consider it a contribution to the company."

Xu Cheng slammed the table loudly.

"I'm still here, you guys are just discussing how to divide the things, right? And you're begging for food... You don't even have any special skills, how can you beg for food? Are you going to perform a system reinstallation for others?"

After that, he looked at Su Yu again, "Sister Su Yu, how is the contact with Penguin going?"

"It went quite smoothly." Su Yu replied.

There was another round of discussion in the meeting room.

"Huh? Are we connected with the penguin?"

"I didn't even get an offer from Penguin after graduation. I didn't expect to join in this way?"

"Thank you, Mr. Xu, for sending me to work in a big company. I'll kowtow to you first."

"Come on, you haven't even passed the Mandarin certificate test. When Penguin takes over, I guarantee you'll be the first one to be fired."

Lin Wanzhou didn't dare to speak and just buried his head in taking notes. The corners of his young mouth couldn't help twitching.

What kind of people are in this company...

How come a college student who graduated from science and engineering is nothing like what she imagined?

So greasy.

Xu Cheng also coughed twice in an humiliating manner and slammed the table.

"What are you talking about? Who just said I'm selling the company? Come on, let's go out and fight. I'll beat you to death."

Although he is much younger, Xu Cheng's physique is here.

Even if it's not a case of extreme anger, beating five programmers with sparse heads is not a problem at all.

These guys immediately calmed down a lot, and the sound of them cracking melon seeds became a little quieter.

"I said Mr. Xu wouldn't sell the company."

"I swear to protect the best Mr. Xu in the world until my death."

"Your Majesty is ready to fight to the death, why would we surrender?"

After a few instructions on work arrangements, the meeting was disbanded. Lin Wanzhou followed Xu Cheng in silence all the way.

After the office door was closed, he pestered Xu Cheng and asked questions.

"Are we going to prepare to engage the penguins?"

"correct."

"So you're going to Pengcheng in a few days?"

"We're going there soon. We've already made an appointment with Penguin. Don't worry, if everything goes well, it shouldn't take long."

"Then shall I go?"

"It's up to you, we can go together or not."

The girl hesitated.

I thought that if my mother knew that I was not staying at home, it would be bad enough, and I also followed Xu Cheng to Pengcheng. That would be really hard to explain.

I don't think they eloped...

Seeing that the girl couldn't make up her mind, Xu Cheng coughed twice to remind her.

"Lin Wanzhou, Chinese Valentine's Day is coming in a few days. I may not be able to come back by then...why don't we celebrate it together?"

"Who wants to celebrate this messed up festival with you?"

"Then I order you to come with me as your boss."

The girl didn't seem scared at all. "I'm still a shareholder. You said before that there is no superior-subordinate relationship between us. It's okay for me not to listen to you."

"Shall I give you a stuffed toy of Beibei's mascot?" the boy asked tentatively.

This generation seems to be particularly fond of these little things and are always scooped up by them. For example, those who later scrambled for the chubby dolls seemed to be from this generation.

"...Not enough." The girl pouted and shook her head.

When he heard that it was not enough, Xu Cheng felt relieved.

It's better than saying no.

"Then add another duck, is that okay?"

"Who is Yaya?"

"It's the panda in the Fuwa, Panda Duck."

"My name is Jingjing!"

"Uh... then Jingjing, how about it, Lin Wanzhou, am I sincere?"

The girl hesitated for a while before finally nodding, "I can go with you...but I want the full set of five."

In fact, she didn't really want these things.

But if she doesn't order anything, wouldn't it seem like she can't live without him for the whole day?

But plans can never keep up with changes.

On the afternoon when the meeting ended, Lin Wanzhou received news that his grandfather in the countryside had fallen ill.
