Rebirth: Growing Up Together

Since Lin's father was not at home, she naturally had to go to the hospital to take care of grandpa on behalf of Lin's father.

in the afternoon.

Xu Cheng quickly finished dealing with the company's affairs and rushed to the hospital with a fruit basket.

The people taking care of the elderly in the ward were Lin Wanzhou's eldest aunt, second aunt, and the young girl.

Lin Wanzhou was sitting beside the bed. When he saw Xu Cheng at the door, he suddenly felt a little nervous.

She didn't know how to introduce Xu Cheng in front of her relatives.

I can't proudly tell my grandpa and the others that this guy is my childhood sweetheart who slept with me for almost the entire summer vacation.

Super handsome, right?

Or if the earlobes are sunken, you can give birth to a daughter.

However, Xu Cheng did not seem to give the girl a headache about this issue, and he introduced himself in front of the elders openly.

She also said that she and Lin Wanzhou were friends, so she didn't call her aunt anymore, but just called her eldest aunt or second aunt.

The eloquent young man won the favor of Lin Wanzhou's elder and second aunts. The old man lying on the hospital bed even stuffed a banana into his hand and asked him to eat it.

After staying in the ward for a while, the boy and Lin Wanzhou walked into the corridor filled with disinfectant.

The girl stood in front of him, looking down at the tip of her shoe embarrassedly.

"Xu Cheng, I can't go with you this time. I can't leave here."

"It's okay, it's okay."

Xu Cheng waved his hand generously, "I hope the old man gets better soon. Remember to take good care of yourself in the hospital."

"I'm sure I'll be fine. The doctor said my grandfather will be discharged from the hospital in two or three days, and my eldest and second aunts will take turns taking care of him. Don't worry."

"Well, my flight is tonight. Um... I wanted to stay with you, but this matter is very important, so I have to go over there..."

When the girl heard Xu Cheng's suddenly apologetic tone, she felt warm in her heart.

Xu Cheng seemed to be really taking on the role of the Lin family's son-in-law, and felt that he needed to do his part for their family's affairs.

Love is a matter between two people, and marriage is a matter between two families.

This attitude made the girl feel that the relationship between them was not just a whim.

This can be seen from the roles he plays.

So she decided to give him some feedback. She took a deep breath, took a few steps forward, raised her arm, and used her white fingers to help Xu Cheng straighten his collar.

"Why do you act like you've done something wrong? I'm not that clingy. I'm just helping take care of my grandpa in the hospital."

This action of the girl can really impress the boy. Maybe it's because her neck is more sensitive. Just the rubbing of the collar makes the boy feel that their relationship is getting closer.

"Lin Wan Porridge."

"……Um?"

"You are so sensible and reasonable, you are really suitable to be my wife."

"Go away."

The girl punched him lightly, then looked back with some fear, fearing that her wife's words would be heard by relatives at home.

"I...I'm going home to get ready. I'm going to stay in the hospital overnight, so I'll help you pack your luggage."

“You even helped me pack my luggage. You really are a virtuous woman… Mmm…” Before the boy could finish his words, the girl’s fingers pinched them into the shape of a duck’s beak.

After returning home by car, the girl first accompanied Xu Cheng to his house to pack the suitcase for the business trip.

She stood beside the bed, bending over to fold the clothes that Xu Cheng was going to wear.

Each type of clothing is folded differently.

For example, a T-shirt will be laid flat on the bed, folded left and right first, then the cuffs will be folded up, and then the clothes will be folded in half from head to tail, and finally folded in half from the middle.

For the shirt, first button it up, then lay it flat and turn it inside out, fold the sleeves in half along the shoulders, fold the bottom of the shirt upwards, and finally fold the collar down and place them overlappingly.

For a moment, Xu Cheng felt dazed, as if she saw her husband's young wife carefully helping him pack his luggage before he went on a business trip.

"What are you going to Penguin for this time? To raise funds?" Being with Xu Cheng every day, the girl has some understanding of these simple matters.

Xu Cheng shook his head and said, "It's not financing, this time it's cooperation. The user activity of Hapi.com is increasing rapidly, and Penguin Space is obviously being marginalized. Under this circumstance, they naturally feel uneasy and want to try to cooperate with us."

Lin Wanzhou understood. Of course she knew Penguin Space, which was a very trendy website nowadays. Many students in the school liked to design their own Penguin Space and set some non-mainstream backgrounds and music.

Guo Zining is one of them. You can often see her posting comments and diaries on it, saying things like "In the end, I learned not to care" and "I don't care about forever, I only care about having it once."

If she didn't know that she had been single since her mother's womb, she would have thought that she had suffered a great emotional trauma.

However, Lin Wanzhou doesn't play this thing. Ever since she heard Xu Cheng say that QQ Space is a competitor of Hapi.com, she has been determined not to play it. She never clicks on it, for fear that if she clicks one more time, Penguin Horse will earn the money she earns from her click.

This is certainly not a case of the husband following the wife's lead, but she is also a shareholder of Hapi.com and of course she cannot do anything to aid the enemy.

"Aren't Penguin Space and you your rivals? How can we cooperate?"

"Have you never heard of the saying that there are no eternal enemies in the world, only eternal interests? This time they proposed three ways of cooperation for us to consider."

The girl thought for a moment and said, "How can we not cooperate? I feel that it is too dangerous to cooperate with a company as big as Penguin. It feels like courting disaster."

"There's nothing we can do. We're on a dead end this time. If we don't succeed, we'll die."

"Then they will definitely make it difficult for you this time."

"Then I'll beat up those old guys." Xu Cheng waved his fist.

The girl covered her mouth and smiled, "It would be nice if I could go with you this time."

"It's okay, you help me stay at the back."

The boy's suitcase was quickly packed and dragged out the door to the downstairs of Lin Wanzhou's house.

"Wait for me here. Don't go upstairs with your suitcase. I'll be down soon." The girl said to Xu Cheng considerately.

"Oh." The boy had no objection and agreed.

Sure enough, she came down from the stairs after a while, carrying a small bag and wearing a coat.

"Let's go out and wait for the bus."

"Ah."

The two of them went to the entrance of the community and took a taxi.

The airport and the hospital were in different directions, so Xu Cheng stopped a car for Lin Wanzhou first.

"Ladies first." He took the initiative to open the back door, as if he was cordially inviting a princess to get in.

Lin Wanzhou bit her lip embarrassedly, and while turning around, she stuffed something into Xu Cheng's arms.

"This, this is for you for the next few days. I'll give you an overdraft first. Um... you are not allowed to finish reading it all in one day!" After saying that, she sat in the back seat with a blushing face and closed the car door.

Xu Cheng was stunned when he looked at the stack of letters in his hand.

It was the beginning of summer vacation, and the girl had agreed with him to bring him a letter every day, otherwise she would bring him a pair of socks instead.

But later on, the socks were always missing but the letters were gone. The girl was so embarrassed that she had no socks to wear when she went out, and she had to ask Xu Cheng to lend her a pair.

This time, she obviously felt that since the two of them were separated, even if he saw the contents of the letter, he would not be able to say anything to her, so she generously overdrafted him.

After figuring out the girl's little trick, Xu Cheng took a few steps back.

The car engine started, the girl waved at him through the window, her mouth slightly open, then the car started and quickly disappeared around the corner.

It was just lip language, but the boy understood it.

She is saying——

Don't let yourself be bullied, Xu Cheng...

Chapter 306 Lover

"The first option is for us, Penguin, to purchase all the agency rights at once."

"The second option is that all future income from Hapi Farm will be shared with Qingzhou in proportion."

"For the third option, we at Penguin will commit to paying a guaranteed minimum income, which will be capped after reaching a certain base."

With the three plans from Penguin, Xu Cheng said "think about it again" and left the building where Nanshan Pizza Hut was located accompanied by two employees.

The Penguin Building had not yet been built at this time. As for the design of the "Goose City", I'm afraid Xiao Ma Ge had not dared to think about it yet.

"Brother Xia, which option do you prefer?" Xu Cheng asked the male employee next to him on the way back to the hotel.

Xia Teng spread the folder between the two of them and pointed to the numbers on it.

"Boss Xu, I think we can choose the third option. Look at the amount. The guaranteed income from Penguin is a huge profit for us."

Xu Cheng poured cold water on him, "You don't have confidence in us, do you think Hapi Farm is worth this price?"

"No way... No way..." Xia Teng was so dry-mouthed that he couldn't speak. He was confident in his skills, but he was lacking in communication ability.

At this time, Li Changqing, who was sitting in the passenger seat, also leaned over.

"Xu Cheng, I'm going to speak from the bottom of my heart. I actually think the third option is more appropriate."

"How to say?"

"I, I'm just being blunt, Mr. Xu, please don't bear a grudge against me. Yes, who doesn't want to create the next Sohu, NetEase, or Sina when starting a business, but we have to face reality, right?"

Li Changqing glanced at Xu Cheng, and seeing that he remained silent, he continued to persuade him.

"Epoch Capital is trying to avoid us now. It's impossible to get them to inject more capital. Without more capital, the company's current cash flow will be paralyzed in another month. Since Penguin is willing to give us money now, why not do it?"

After saying that, he secretly glanced at the little boss's expression. Seeing that he was still silent, he stopped asking for trouble and turned back angrily.

pity.

After all, he's just a high school kid...

Also.

Who hasn’t thought about traveling around the world with a sword when they were in high school?

Li Changqing looked at the crowded traffic outside the car window. Cars of all sizes were moving and stopping. Something in the past flashed in his eyes, and then he lowered his head and smiled.

Innocence is dead.

……

Considering the current size of Penguin, Qingzhou is just a small outsourcing company with dozens of people in their eyes.

So at the end of the day, Xu Cheng didn't see the legendary Five Penguins, let alone the Xiao Ma brother who had run out of gold coins. The whole time, he only talked with the project leader of the QQ space.

From the penguin's perspective, there was little reason not to be tempted by Hardy Farm.

They had conducted market research in advance and also had access to current information on Hapi Farm.

When a lion fights a rabbit, he also uses all his strength.

What's more, the project at Hapi Farm is not as simple as it seems.

Penguin has a habit of holding a strategic meeting every month that must be attended by core leaders, and there are only seven or eight people.

There is no adjournment time for this meeting, and it often lasts until midnight or early morning. This is a rule set by Pony Ma when Penguin first appeared, and it has been included in the company's charter. Many ingenious decisions are made at this strategic meeting.

The cooperation with Hapi.com was a major decision made at the strategic meeting.

Take over Hapi Farm at the lowest cost.

It was an order given by that person himself.

It is not the first time that Penguin has dismissed Hapi.com like a beggar.

However, although they were very experienced, this time it seemed like they hit a wall.

……

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

"He has been discharged from the hospital. There's nothing wrong now. I can go back and play chess with my uncle." Lin Wanzhou was lying on the sofa and talking on the phone.

It is very difficult for girls to perform this action while lying on their stomach.

After all, compared to boys, they are squeezed more, so they always need to put something soft under their neck or on their belly, such as a doll, a pillow, or their boyfriend's arm... to feel comfortable.
