Who wants to be a male model after being reborn? I want to be a male god.

Chapter 269 The tower separating the two

After many days, Xu Wen finally returned to his long-lost home.

In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Gu Xingruo sent him downstairs and left.

Not only that, the eldest lady also thoughtfully gave him some specialties that are only available in Tibet, making it seem like he was really traveling.

Xu Wen stood downstairs and took a few deep breaths, imagining himself as a tired traveler who had just returned from a trip. Only after he had imagined himself did he get on the elevator.

He doesn't want his mother and sister to know what has happened in the past few days, so he tries his best to disguise it.

Fortunately, his injuries have almost healed, so as long as he is careful, he won’t reveal any major flaws.

The doctor warned him that although the wound on his face had healed, his internal organs were now very fragile and he could not do strenuous exercise.

At this time, he had to be thankful that Xu Ling was a quiet girl.

Otherwise, as soon as he walked in the door, his sister gave him a bear hug and he would be exposed on the spot.

Xu Wen opened the security door carrying his luggage and gifts.

As soon as he entered the door, he smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen. His mother and sister were sitting on the sofa watching TV together.

All is well.

When Xu Ling saw Xu Wen, her eyes lit up instantly. Her first target was of course the gift in his hand.

His mother told him to wash his hands quickly and then start eating.

Xu Wen slowly relaxed. Although he had been out of the house where he was imprisoned for some time, it was not until this moment that he felt at ease.

During the meal, his mother asked him how he was having fun.

Xu Wen had never been to Tibet, so he could only talk nonsense based on what he had seen on TV in the past.

He said the sky there was blue, the grass was green, the air was very good, and there were many cattle and sheep on the grass.

Faced with such a perfunctory answer, Xu Ling complained in disdain: "It's the same whether you went or not."

Xu Wen smiled helplessly: "I can't really write you an 800-word travel experience, right?"

It's not that he went or not, he didn't go at all.

Although the stories were all made up, my mother listened to them with great interest.

She is almost fifty years old now, but she has never left Linjiang.

Xu Wen suggested that after Xu Ling finished the college entrance examination, the family should go out for a trip together to see the beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland.

They no longer need to go to the small counties around Linjiang and watch everyone buy tickets to go up, while they can only eat the food they brought from home downstairs.

Xu Ling was somewhat dissatisfied after hearing this. She said that her brother's money was a blank check and it would be paid out three years later.

But before Xu Wen could say anything, his mother Dai Guizhen took the lead in criticizing him: "You are about to take the college entrance examination, so concentrate on studying hard."

Xu Ling let out a long sigh.

She said high school was really scary because she had just entered school but was already counting down to the college entrance exam.

Xu Wen symbolically asked about Xu Ling's academic performance.

Just as he thought, Xu Ling was top of the grade again.

Whether it is divided into liberal arts, science, or all nine subjects combined, she is always the top student in the grade.

The class she is in now will be a science experimental class after the future division, and the teacher has been advising her that she must choose science when the division is made.

The teacher of the liberal arts experimental class next door also secretly contacted her and kept persuading her to study liberal arts.

After listening to this, Xu Wen couldn't help but sigh, this is a true academic master.

He is a top student who relies on cheats to become a top student.

But this still doesn't stop him from showing off his brotherly power.

"Even though you are number one in the school now, you may not be ranked first in the provincial joint examination," he joked.

What I got in return was a big eye roll from my sister.

Dai Guizhen comforted her daughter while picking up food for her: "After you finish the college entrance examination, mom will definitely take you to play everywhere, not your brother!"

Xu Ling was happy now.

But Xu Wen added: "It's okay, maybe I will play all of them in the next few years, and then I won't be too lazy to go."

Xu Ling was so angry that she could only say, "It's great that she was born early!"

"Yeah, it's amazing." Xu Wen replied in a frivolous way.

Time flies when family members are arguing.

After dinner, the brother and sister helped clean up the mess.

Dai Guizhen kept urging her son to go back to his room and rest, but she failed to persuade him until he finished cleaning up.

Xu Wen clapped his hands, and when he saw that there was nothing to do, he prepared to go back to his room.

"By the way, remember to invite Ningning to come and play during the Chinese New Year this year. I'll give her some red envelopes." Dai Guizhen suddenly said.

Xu Wen pretended not to care and gave a reason he had thought of long ago: "Their family went to Hai Province to celebrate the New Year this year. It's warm there and they won't be coming back."

Dai Guizhen felt a little regretful, and she continued, "Then you should invite her to your home more often in the future."

Xu Wen nodded: "I understand."

He now realized that his mother might really have regarded Xia Ning as her own daughter-in-law.

But a lot of things have changed since that morning.

She won't come to play often in the future.

Maybe it will take a long time for her to come back.

Xu Wen returned to the room alone, closed the door and isolated himself from the outside world.

He lifted the black plastic bag on the ground, which contained Xia Ning's password box.

Xu Wen skillfully entered the password 6211 and opened the box full of secrets.

There were all kinds of little things in the box, but most of them were love letters that Xia Ning had written to him.

Xu Wen stared at the box for a while.

He suddenly remembered something and looked up at the desk, where was the lucky star that Xia Ning had given him.

The princess was tied to a high tower by a dragon, and the knight with a sword wanted to rush up to save her.

At that time, Xu Wen easily cracked the code and successfully rescued the princess.

Now the princess was literally chained to the tower.

But it's no longer the password that stands between the two.

It was the impenetrable wall and the obstacles in their hearts.

He thought that he would be able to rescue the princess this time.

Just like before.

The next day after Xu Wen got home, he drove directly to the studio without resting for a whole day.

The school is basically deserted now, as both teachers and students have gone home for the winter vacation.

However, the school was still very considerate and reserved a studio for them and allowed them to stay in school during the winter vacation.

Even the dormitories for several people were retained to facilitate their work.

Xu Wen parked the car and walked towards the studio alone.

He didn't tell anyone he was back, and when he got to the door, he saw everyone working inside.

Only after seeing this scene did he realize that this was the pleasure of being a boss.

Even if he does nothing, there are people who will always help him make money.

During the time he was away, the studio ran smoothly and nothing went wrong.

Xu Wen didn't want to disturb anyone, so he walked in quietly.

He is not the kind of boss who would ask for a meeting as soon as he gets back.

Everyone should be working, why hold a meeting when there is nothing to do?
But the moment he stepped into the classroom, he still attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at him. Xu Wen asked knowingly, "Why are you looking at me? It's not my first day here."

Song Jie was the first to say, "You've been out for too long. We all miss you."

What he said was so corny that it was obvious he was trying to disgust people on purpose.

Xu Wen quickly stepped back: "Don't look at me like that, it's a bit disgusting."

Although I call him Brother Jie every day, I can't really become Brother Jie, right?
Song Jie didn't care and just laughed it off.

After he made the joke, Jia Mingliang also came over, but he came to report on his work.

Although he had already said most of the things on QQ, he still repeated them verbally.

When talking about Lan Qiusheng using his photo for publicity, the project manager quickly lowered his head and pretended that he did not exist.

"It's okay, just use it. For the development of the company, it's okay for me to sell out myself." Xu Wen looked righteous.

Seeing him like this, everyone started laughing.

Lan Qiusheng knew he couldn't escape, so he explained awkwardly, "I just proposed an idea, but I didn't expect them to act so quickly."

"If the software can survive, I wouldn't mind if you let me pretend to be a woman to chat with users." Xu Wen said frankly.

Not to mention using a photo, there would be no problem even letting him learn from Mr. Ma!

After everyone laughed, Jia Mingliang continued to report on his work, but it was basically content that Xu Wen knew.

Halfway through the conversation, another person who had not been seen for a long time appeared in the office.

Gu Xingruo walked in carrying her New Year benefits.

During this period of time, she hadn't been here for a long time because she had to look for Xu Wen and take care of him.

When everyone saw what she was holding, they understood one thing: the company’s benefits were going to get better again!

After listening to Jia Mingliang’s work report, Xu Wen immediately arranged some plans for the New Year.

He is not such a devil that he would not take a holiday during the Chinese New Year. Although he is busy with work, he still takes a holiday when necessary.

That’s how people in Dongda University are. Everything can be discussed after the Chinese New Year.

Most programmers can work from home, but Xu Wen promised that he would not assign work to everyone unless it was something important.

Every two people take turns to be on duty for one day to maintain software operations.

Vacations are small things.

It is estimated that only he, Lan Qiu Sheng and Song Jie want to go home for the New Year.

He had a general understanding of the remaining few people.

Three of the four seniors had to hide their identities when they went home, and Wan Zhi had fallen out with his family a long time ago and only went back to his sister's house for the New Year.

They are certainly more comfortable in school.

Gu Xingruo needless to say, no matter what holiday it is, she is the only one at home.

But no matter what everyone's situation is, you still have to take a holiday.

In addition to holidays, what is more important is the year-end bonus.

For the four most important contributors this year, Xu Wen gave them an extra twelve months' salary as their year-end bonus.

He also did not treat the new members Lan Qiusheng and Song Jie badly.

One is the company's project manager, and his year-end bonus is six months' extra salary.

Since Song Jie was not a member of the company, Xu Wen also gave him 20,000 yuan.

Although he was the one who got the least money among these people, he was still grateful and said, "Really, godfather? I am not dreaming, am I, godfather?"

He immediately became his godfather on the spot.

"What about me? Do I get a year-end bonus?" Gu Xingruo asked hurriedly.

"You are an investor, and what you give to investors are dividends. How can there be any year-end bonuses?" Xu Wen said helplessly.

He also can't afford the year-end bonus.

The young lady didn't take the more than two million that Chen Tianbao gave her seriously, so how much could he give her?

Gu Xingruo sighed and said that maybe they could arrange a job for her.

But unfortunately, the company did not have a suitable position for her.

She said why not buy a building to use as an office and she would be the cleaner to help with the cleaning.

Xu Wen quickly stopped the young lady from having this terrible idea.

Because if she is not stopped, she might really buy a building.

It's impossible for their studio with less than ten people to work in the same building at that time, right?
What kind of horror movie is this?

After arranging holidays and year-end bonuses, everyone returned to work.

Gu Xingruo didn't leave either. She found a seat and watched the show by herself, occasionally giggling. Everything was peaceful and harmonious.

They went back to the past, back to the time before winter break, and everything was back on track.

When Xu Wen was looking at the computer, Lan Qiu Sheng nudged him.

"Welcome back," she said softly.

Xu Wen nodded and replied: "Well, I'm back."

In the afternoon, an old acquaintance came to the studio again.

Yang Yiyao appeared in front of everyone wearing her strange clothes.

As soon as she appeared, she found Xu Wen and suggested, "Can you design a software for me that allows people from all over the country to ask me for divination?"

Yang Yiyao was not joking, she was serious.

She sees huge potential in Xiaozhi Search Questions and Lianlian, and believes that they can’t always operate offline in the future!
Yang Yiyao was afraid that Xu Wen would refuse, so she added: "Don't worry, we are brothers and we will settle the bill clearly. Whatever you say, it's what it is."

Xu Wen was silent for a while, but still refused.

Yang Yiyao was very surprised and asked why.

He replied: "Because we don't work during the Chinese New Year!"

The closer it gets to the Chinese New Year, the faster time goes by, and in the blink of an eye it’s already New Year’s Eve.

This is a big day for Xu Wen's family.

Even when she had little money in the past, Dai Guizhen would always prepare a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner for her children on this day.

She always told her children: "When your grandmother was alive, she always said that you should celebrate a festival in a festive manner. You should remember this in the future."

This was true in the past, and it is even more true now that we have become wealthy.

Dai Guizhen prepared all the things needed for the New Year early on.

On New Year's Eve, she asked Xu Wen and Xu Ling, brother and sister, to get up early and put on new clothes to post couplets.

Xu Ling rubbed her eyes and was reluctant to get up, but she had to crawl out of the warm bed.

She knew that if she didn't take the New Year seriously, her mother, who was usually gentle and kind, would definitely get angry.

Today is destined to be a tiring day.

Xu Ling yawned and was about to go find a place to wash up when she saw someone sitting on the sofa.

Just one look and she instantly perked up.

"Sister Ruoruo!" Xu Ling shouted in surprise.

After saying hello, she quickly rushed over, her eyes full of amazement: "Sister Ruoruo, you look so beautiful today!"

Gu Xingruo was wearing a red jacket today, which looked very festive. The cuffs of the jacket were decorated with small patterns embroidered with gold thread, and on the chest was a majestic golden dragon, which was exquisite yet lively.

She wore a white sweatshirt under the coat and a black pleated skirt on the lower body, with a pair of beautiful legs wrapped in stockings under the skirt.

Gu Xingruo used to dress like a hot girl, but now she looks playful and cute, like a big red envelope that appears in the New Year.

Although she didn't receive her year-end bonus, she came over to ask for it herself.

How could anyone refuse a red envelope for a lovely big one?
