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

Chapter 285 Gradually Approaching
The studio today is very different from usual.

There was a huge banner on the wall with eye-catching red characters on it.

The font is vigorous and powerful, full of festive atmosphere.

There were colorful balloons in the corners of the room, pink, blue, gold, and some heart-shaped ones, which were obviously specially selected.

The whole space is filled with a joyful atmosphere.

If Gu Xingruo stood here now, she would be the undisputed protagonist of today.

The eldest lady raised her head slightly, looked at the eye-catching words on the banner, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised.

She knew that all this must have been carefully planned by Xu Wen.

There was a "red carpet" in front of Gu Xingruo, which was actually drawn by rows of balloons. The colors were bright and the arrangement was orderly. Walking on it was like walking on a fashion show.

The balloon shook a few times when it was touched, as if it was celebrating her birthday.

Everything that happened today was beyond her expectations.

Gu Xingruo paused, feeling a little moved.

Because of the date, no one had ever celebrated her birthday, not even one person, let alone so many people.

She had already gotten used to it.

Whether it is a holiday or a birthday, she treats it as an ordinary day.

But today, Xu Wen prepared such a big surprise for her.

Her heart was filled with happiness, and she knew that in the days to come, she would be happy whenever she thought of what had happened today.

Her eyes fell on the end of the balloon trail, where she usually sat at her desk.

There are many greeting cards on the table, each of them is carefully selected and filled with words, neat, sloppy, short, or long... but without exception, they are all full of birthday wishes.

She couldn't help but take a deep breath, and the smile on her lips deepened a little.

Gu Xingruo is usually very nice to everyone in the studio. Although she is an investor, she never puts on airs and gets along well with everyone.

Many people even forgot her identity as the "young lady".

So, when everyone heard that it was her birthday this morning, they all suggested giving her gifts.

"Sister Gu is usually nice to us, we should show some appreciation, right?"

"How about we chip in and give her a nice gift?"

But Xu Wen decisively rejected their proposal.

Although everyone has a good relationship, this is a company after all. What's the point of giving gifts directly?

After hearing what he said, everyone gave up their original thoughts.

Yang Yiyao asked directly at that time: "What should we do? We can't just give nothing, right? That would be bad."

Xu Wen was well prepared. He prepared a stack of greeting cards in advance and asked everyone to write a few simple blessings.

This way you can express your feelings without appearing out of place.

So, this scene happened.

Xu Wen stood beside Gu Xingruo and made a gesture to the front to invite people in.

He bowed slightly and said, "At home you are the eldest daughter, here you are our investor."

His tone was calm, yet with a hint of tenderness that was barely noticeable.

The expensive luxury goods were given to Gu Xingruo, the "young lady".

These greeting cards and banners above her head are for her as an "investor".

I have to admit that the atmosphere in the company has indeed improved a lot during her time here.

If it were Xu Wen himself, he would definitely not organize any welfare or team building activities.

Compared to these, work is the most important.

Gu Xingruo's face was full of surprise. She walked along the path drawn by balloons, step by step towards her seat.

There was a slightly swaying balloon under her feet, and her mood was as light as the balloon.

She walked towards her desk step by step, her eyes fell on the greeting cards covered with words, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

Everything before her was an experience she had never had before.

Before today, she had always thought that her birthday was just an ordinary day, like any other.

As she walked to her desk and picked up the greeting cards on it, Xu Wen explained behind her, "These are all sent to you by everyone. They wrote them by hand."

Gu Xingruo carefully picked up the greeting cards and looked through them one by one. Each one had different handwriting written on it.

Some even have cartoon characters drawn on them, so you can tell who sent them at a glance.

"Happy birthday, Sister Gu!"

"Happy birthday Ruoruo, you are my first friend and we will always be friends"

"Miss, please come to our shop more often in the future. We will always be waiting for you."

"."

The words are full of sincerity and warmth.

Gu Xingruo felt her nose a little sour. She held the greeting card carefully, turned around and said to the people behind her: "You guys are so mean. You almost made me cry."

This was the first time in all these years that so many people celebrated her birthday.

She will remember this day forever.

The boys present were too embarrassed to speak when facing Gu Xingruo.

Faced with this kind of scene, they seemed a little embarrassed and could only smile awkwardly or scratch their heads.

Yang Yiyao was the first to speak, in a teasing tone: "Don't cry, the coffee you brought from home is delicious, just bring more next time."

Everyone echoed: "Yes, yes, yes! Take more next time!"

The somewhat sentimental atmosphere was instantly dispelled and everyone started laughing.

Gu Xingruo said it was no problem and said that if there were other delicious foods in the future, she would bring them over.

The eldest lady assured that as long as she was there, the company's future benefits would only get better and better.

After a brief birthday greeting, everyone returned to work.

However, balloons, banners and other things were not confiscated, and the atmosphere in the studio was a little warmer than usual.

Working in this kind of environment makes everyone, who are originally serious, inexplicably become a little humorous.

As soon as everyone returned to their seats, Gu Xingruo immediately came up to Xu Wen.

She tangled her hands in front of her and whispered, "This is the happiest birthday I've had in years."

Xu Wen was operating the computer. He glanced at her and said with a hint of ridicule, "This is not like your character at all."

Gu Xingruo did not refute. She blinked and said with a nonchalant smile: "Don't worry, you will recover tomorrow."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

After talking about happy things, there are naturally practical problems.

Gu Xingruo restrained her smile slightly and said seriously: "Don't take my dad's words too seriously, just treat them as nonsense. Let's develop as we want. I have saved a lot of money!"

Although Xu Wen told Gu Hong that he already had a project in mind, Gu Xingruo thought that it was probably just a stopgap measure and he hadn't really thought it through at all.

I am worrying about this matter now.

Even if he really had an idea, she hoped that he could let go and not be bound by Gu Hong's opinions.

Gu Xingruo thought that they didn't need to care about her father at all and should just concentrate on doing their own things.

Xu Wen smiled slightly, his tone calm and confident: "Don't worry, I already have a plan in mind."

In fact, he already had plans during the Chinese New Year.

Now we need to prepare a written document and hand it over to Gu Hong to let him know what he wants to do.

Gu Xingruo was a little confused. She never doubted Xu Wen's words because she trusted him completely.

But this time, she couldn't help but ask: "Ah? Have you really thought it through?" What he said to Gu Hong might be false, but what he said to her must be true.

As soon as she saw Xu Wen's face, she believed it completely.

She had done this in the past and it had never failed.

The only regret is that he said before that he didn't want to be with her, and that was true.

Since Xu Wen said there is a plan, then there must be a plan.

She was just a little surprised and curious about what was going on in his head, with a new idea in his mind.

The most outrageous thing is that these ideas can actually make money.

"Well, show it to your dad when the time comes. If it works, we'll do it and try to make it big." Xu Wen was very confident.

When Gu Xingruo heard the words "let's do something big", he felt his blood coursing faster and his blood instantly boiled.

Her eyes brightened a little, and her tone was also a little excited: "How big is it?"

Xu Wen's written materials have not been prepared yet, so he can only explain it verbally.

Gu Hong’s request was for him to form a partnership with Gu Xingruo. Since she would also be a member of the company in the future, it was normal for her to know what the company did.

He roughly reiterated what he wanted to do.

But as Gu Xingruo listened, her brows furrowed: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, what is O2O, what is instant life service, what is LBS? And more..."

There are many similar problems.

She basically didn't understand what Xu Wen was saying, she just felt it sounded very high-sounding.

It feels like I'm in high school now.

Xu Wen had to simplify it: "It's just food delivery. We deliver the food sold outside to you, door-to-door service or something like that."

This time he spoke very briefly.

Xu Wen's written materials have not been prepared yet, but he already knows clearly what he wants to do.

He knew that if he wanted to rise in this field, he had to act earlier than others.

In 2012, Meituan was still in the group buying stage and was mired in the group buying war.

Take-out was not as popular as it is now, and was basically done by individuals.

Xu Wen planned to overtake others before major capital entered the market.

Fantasy is beautiful, but reality is often cruel.

If you want to take this path, you will inevitably come into conflict with those already established large enterprises.

He still remembers the takeout war that happened three years later, in 2015.

The food delivery industry will enter a phase of crazy money burning, when the capital war will be in full swing.

A meal may only cost a few dollars, but everyone is scrambling for the market and throwing down subsidies like crazy, hoping to occupy the market in a short period of time.

Xu Wen still remembers that in 2015, he ate takeout every day because it was incredibly cheap.

This also allowed him, who was already poor at the time, to live a rare good life.

In that battle, many small softwares were squeezed to death by capital, and some even lost their names.

In the end, only two giants, Meituan and Ele.me, remained in the market.

If he were to go head-on with the existing resources, there would be no doubt that he would be basically no different from cannon fodder and would be courting death.

Not only will it fail to make his business bigger and stronger, it will even destroy the foundation he has worked so hard to build.

But if he could plan ahead and rely on Gu Hong's "Hongjing Industry".

Coupled with his judgment of the future market, perhaps he can really carve out a path in this war.

The risks are great, but the rewards are even greater.

But he still has one biggest problem that has not been solved.

That is, how to make Gu Hong believe that the funds invested in the early stage will not be wasted?

This is the most important thing for him recently.

Gu Hong seems to be very tolerant of Gu Xingruo and him, but he is a real capitalist, not a philanthropist.

No one in this world is willing to waste money for no reason, or even to waste money without seeing an end.

He must find a way to convince Gu Hong.

Gu Xingruo listened quietly to Xu Wen's explanation, nodded, and a trace of admiration appeared in her eyes: "I understand what you said!"

She had never underestimated Xu Wen, but every time she listened to him speak, she was still shocked by his magical ideas.

It turned out that he had planned it long ago and was not just trying to please Gu Hong.

Although he had only heard a general idea, Gu Xingruo still felt that this matter was very reliable.

It’s not because of the filter, I just think it’s reliable.

After Xu Wen finished explaining, he continued to look at the computer screen and busy himself with the work at hand.

Seeing that Xu Wen was so serious, Gu Xingruo stopped disturbing him.

There wasn't much she could do but silently give support from behind.

Then I watched his business grow bigger and bigger.

Gu Xingruo wanted to ask Xu Wen about what her father said, "I don't agree to marry her now, but I can make her bigger."

She really wanted to know what he thought about this matter.

The eldest lady originally wanted to take it slow and heal the pain in Xu Wen's heart bit by bit.

But when the opportunity arose, she couldn't wait.

She just felt that there was only a layer of window paper between their hearts, and as long as this layer of paper was broken, the feelings would burst out.

The only question is when to break it.

Timing is important.

Maybe in the end, everything will fall into place.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Gu Xingruo always felt that their hearts were gradually getting closer.

Although she didn't know when to ask, it was definitely not now because Xu Wen was working.

With a birthday like today, Gu Xingruo is already satisfied.

That night, Gu Xingruo arranged a big dinner for everyone in the studio.

As soon as she got home, she couldn't wait to open the video and show off what happened today to her bestie.

By the way, she also showed her the necklace that Xu Wen gave her.

Cao Yanan has long been accustomed to this situation.

She listened perfunctorily while doing her own thing, and after listening, she commented: "Do you know why he gave you such an expensive gift?"

Gu Xingruo looked innocent: "Why?"

Cao Yanan replied unhappily: "Of course it's because he gave you ten yuan, and you can just give him a hundred or even a thousand yuan in return."

Gu Xingruo didn't care at all about what her best friend said.

She had her own reasons: "I'm not going to talk about love today, I'm just asking you, is there anything he does with me that doesn't make money?"

Faced with Gu Xingruo's question, Cao Yanan was speechless.

After all, the marketing strategies used by her karaoke bar and bar are still learned from Xu Wen.

I have to admit that he is indeed different from the ordinary pretty boy.

Cao Yanan was too lazy to refute.

She finally replied in a broken voice: "I still say the same thing, how could I have known that there would be so many weirdos like you!"
