Rebirth of the Rich Second Generation's Growth Diary

Chapter 182 Siblings
For Xia Xiaomiao, everything in the capital city was naturally novel and exciting.

Some people say that the capital is a city of immense pressure, where the dreams of many young people are buried. However, it is still a place that people love because it is the capital.

First and foremost, I naturally took Xia Xiaomiao to explore Tsinghua and Peking Universities thoroughly. It wasn't Xia Xiaomiao's first time at these universities, but he still loved everything about them.

Li Xu and Xia Xiaohe took Xia Xiaomiao for a leisurely stroll along the long sidewalk.

The weather in late autumn and late winter was slightly chilly. The leaves had almost all fallen, and the sunlight shone brightly down.

Xia Xiaohe bought Xia Xiaomiao a scarf, and he walked leisurely ahead like a child, looking around curiously.

Li Xu and Xia Xiaohe followed leisurely behind.

Suddenly, Xia Xiaomiao came skipping over and said, "Sister, why do I see so many young people at Tsinghua and Peking Universities?"

To say there are many wouldn't be an exaggeration, since a school is full of people coming and going, and you'll occasionally see one or two students who are clearly underage. But seeing adult students in a university won't seem strange, but you'll naturally pay more attention to teenagers with baby faces.

Xia Xiaohe then explained, "Those people you just saw must have been specially recruited."

Li Xu, standing nearby, laughed and said, "Tsinghua and Peking Universities are among the places with the most talent in the country. There is no shortage of geniuses here. For geniuses, age has never been a factor that restricts where they are. There are many people here who enter university at the age of 16."

Xia Xiaomiao paused for a moment, then said out of the blue, "I'll be 16 soon too." Then she walked forward with light steps.

After walking around Tsinghua and Peking Universities for a while, it's natural to want to eat.

Xia Xiaohe insisted that she pay for the meal, but she didn't plan to treat anyone to anything expensive; she would simply use her campus card to order food at the cafeteria.

Xia Xiaomiao looked at the scrolling comments on the screen with some surprise. Of course, there were also some comments praising the food at a certain window, but there were no comments about the auntie serving the food having shaky hands.

Eating here is extremely cheap, and the portions are quite generous, which really broadened Xia Xiaomiao's horizons.

Xia Xiaomiao is now a proper teenager, so he can't be treated like a child anymore.

He has developed his own understanding and insights into many things, and he even occasionally feels that some of Xia Xiaohe's views are wrong, but he always maintains respect for Li Xu.

During the meal, Xia Xiaohe started talking about the smart campus solution behind the campus card, which Xia Xiaomiao listened to with great interest.

Some looked at Li Xu with admiration and said, "Brother Li, I'm not surprised at all that you came up with this. However, I didn't expect that some of the hardware was designed by Lei Yinbing."

Li Xu was speechless. He realized that this kid had never really liked Lei Yinbing.

Xia Xiaomiao then asked Xia Xiaohe, "Sister, what do you do at Brother Li's company now?"

Xia Xiaohe thought for a moment before saying, "I do a lot of different things. Right now, I'm doing all sorts of things, but in the future, I'll mainly focus on the market."

Xia Xiaomiao nodded thoughtfully.

The boy is currently growing and has an amazing appetite; he quickly finished everything on his plate.

After the meal, Xia Xiaomiao suggested visiting Li Xu's company, which Li Xu was naturally very happy to do.

After all, in his plan, Xia Xiaomiao will definitely have an important position in his company in the future.

Xia Xiaohe, however, was somewhat worried, and then said seriously, "You can't say anything carelessly when you get there, understand?"

Xia Xiaomiao said nonchalantly, "What nonsense could I possibly say? Don't worry, sis."

On the way to the company with Xia Xiaomiao, Li Xu briefly talked about the company's main business.

Li Xu said, "In the future, we will expand the project from many angles."

Xia Xiaomiao nodded thoughtfully.

Although his academic qualifications are not high, his cognitive abilities far surpass those of his peers. He has participated in academic competitions for many years, mainly dealing with mathematics, but he has also won first prize in provincial computer competitions, he just hasn't focused his main energy on that.

Even so, most things are easy for him to understand once Li Xu explains them.

At present, the company's main business is still smart campus construction solutions, but Li Xu is also very clear that this project was the initial driving force behind the company's birth.

But as a company, especially a technology company, you can't rely on this one solution for the rest of your life.

The next step, naturally, is to continuously expand the company's business and develop more projects.

This involves the company's direction and strategy, which is naturally not difficult for Li Xu.

He is a reborn individual. He can easily plan a path suitable for the company's development by combining the knowledge he has learned with the future trends and opportunities in various fields.

However, he does not intend to run a pure internet technology company. Although that would be cheaper and more profitable, the only problem is that once a period of rapid growth is over, he will no longer need so many people.

Rather than being swayed by the market and other factors at that time and making some unreasonable decisions, it would be better to start now and do some down-to-earth business.

Manufacturing will always be the foundation of society. It is a more difficult path, but it is also the industry that can truly create value for the country and the nation.

Once it's done, it will generate real incremental growth.

Of course, Li Xu hasn't shared these ideas with anyone else yet. Once the company's office building is completed and the industrial plant area is finalized, they can start planning the next steps.

……

"Don't worry, I'm here. I'll definitely make sure Li Xu hires you." Tang Qiaoning patted her chest as she assured her best friend. Her friend, Luo Yan, was a senior in college and currently in her internship period, needing to find a suitable company for an internship. Luo Yan wasn't from Tsinghua or Peking University; compared to those universities, her school wasn't as prestigious, but it was still one of the top universities specializing in science and engineering.

Luo Yan wore black-rimmed glasses and had casual short hair, giving her a tomboyish look. Previously, Tang Qiaoning relied entirely on Luo Yan's technical support when negotiating business deals.

Tang Qiaoning said, "After you join our company, you will be my partner. You will be my technician, and the two of us will be the best marketing combination in our company."

Luo Yan blew on her bangs that were covering her eyes and said, "What if Li Xu doesn't want me?"

Tang Qiaoning said confidently, "Don't worry, I'm here. He'll definitely want you. If he resolutely refuses, I'll..."

Luo Yan blinked: "What are you going to do?"

Tang Qiaoning said, "I'll... I'll just act cute with him, he definitely won't be able to handle it."

Luo Yan laughed heartily and said, "I believe that even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman!"

At this moment, Luo Yan and Tang Qiaoning arrived at the company first. An Duoduo and Ye Jinhe were coming downstairs, discussing their upcoming expansion plans.

Each department submitted its personnel needs, but it's not guaranteed that every department's needs will be met. Managing personnel is a job that's very easy to offend people, and Ye Jinhe, having been in the company for so long, has gradually figured out some of the rules. For example, An Duoduo is very influential by Li Xu's side, and there are many things that need to be discussed with An Duoduo.

The four met at the stairwell, and Tang Qiaoning introduced Luo Yan to An Duoduo, somewhat ignoring Ye Jinhe standing nearby. Although Ye Jinhe remained silent, his eyes flickered slightly.

Tang Qiaoning bluntly expressed her desire for her best friend to come to the company. Before Ye Jinhe could express her opinion, Li Xu walked towards them with Xia Xiaohe and her brother.

Noticing the group gathered in front of the building, Li Xu asked with a smile, "What are you doing?"

When An Duoduo saw Li Xu, she casually tossed the small question that Tang Qiaoning had brought to Li Xu and simply explained her purpose.

Tang Qiaoning then said directly to Li Xu, "I didn't think it was necessary to tell you this directly. This is my best friend, and I want her to come to the company. When I was talking to other people before, my best friend helped me a lot. She is an engineering major, and there were many things that I couldn't explain clearly, and she helped me explain them to others."

Li Xu's gaze fell on Luo Yan. To be honest, it was quite reasonable for a sales team to be paired with a technical staff member. Moreover, the company would have more projects coming up, and it would indeed need technical staff to travel to various places to provide technical support.

Li Xu then said, "Alright, let Ye Ruida interview him later."

This was just a minor incident, and Li Xu didn't take it to heart. He even casually praised Tang Qiaoning, saying that her approach was correct.

And it was precisely because this incident was so minor that Li Xu didn't even bother to pay attention to other people's expressions after he finished speaking.

At that moment, Ye Jinhe looked away, Xia Xiaohe lowered her head slightly, and Xia Xiaomiao keenly noticed her sister's expression.

Next, Li Xu showed the siblings around the company and then took them to see Ye Ruida. As Ye Ruida's apprentice, Xia Xiaomiao respected him greatly, and she was even happier to see him than she was to see Li Xu.

This scene made Li Xu rub his nose in slight annoyance, while Xia Xiaohe, standing beside him, couldn't help but lower her head and chuckle softly. As she chuckled, Li Xu tapped her on the head, and Xia Xiaohe innocently looked up.

Li Xu snorted and said, "Are you mocking me?"

Xia Xiaohe pouted and suddenly said, "You... you're just jealous!"

Li Xu was stunned for a moment, not expecting Xia Xiaohe to speak to him in such a tone.

Li Xu said with dissatisfaction, "You mean I'm jealous of Ye Ruida? For that kid Xia Xiaomiao? What a joke. It's more like I'm jealous of you... The two of them, haha."

Li Xu himself wasn't very confident about these words, but Xia Xiaohe seemed to have been switched on; her eyes widened, and she stammered, "Really?"

Li Xu said nonchalantly, "Of course it's true!"

After leaving the company, there were still many tasks to be done. After all, Xia Xiaomiao had come to participate in a competition, so she needed to scout out the competition venue.

Walking along the road, Li Xu noticed that Xia Xiaohe remained silent, seemingly lost in thought. He wondered if it was because he had tapped her on the head earlier, making the little girl unhappy. How petty! Li Xu tried to tease Xia Xiaohe, bringing up the topic two or three times along the way, but Xia Xiaohe didn't respond much.

For a moment, Li Xu couldn't figure out what was wrong with the little girl. It wasn't until they got in the car that he realized Xia Xiaohe and Xia Xiaomiao were sitting in the back.

Xia Xiaomiao suddenly said, "Sister, I'm your brother."

Li Xu was completely confused by what he heard, and Xia Xiaohe also didn't understand, giving Xia Xiaomiao a strange look.

Xia Xiaomiao leaned back in her chair and said to herself, "Sister, I will definitely be admitted to Tsinghua and Peking Universities through special admission. You can believe me. As long as I can get into the top 60 this time, I can be admitted to Tsinghua and Peking Universities without taking the entrance exam. Brother Ye Ruida also told me that he will personally come to teach me some things. My goal is to become the most outstanding researcher in Brother Li Xu's team."

Xia Xiaohe looked completely bewildered and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Xia Xiaomiao continued earnestly, lowering his head slightly and glancing at Li Xu out of the corner of his eye before looking up and asking, "Sister, do you think I'm worse than Luo Yan?"

These words exploded in Xia Xiaohe's head like a nuclear bomb.

Xia Xiaohe had never thought of it that way, and neither had Li Xu, so when Xia Xiaomiao finished speaking, they were both stunned for a moment.

Li Xu remained silent. He hadn't understood the siblings' conversation at first, but now that he did, a smile crept onto his lips. He was somewhat surprised and secretly glanced at Xia Xiaomiao. This kid's emotional intelligence was much higher than he had imagined.

People with high emotional intelligence can always move others inexplicably. Xia Xiaohe was one of those people who was moved. Her nose felt a little sore for no reason, but she just snorted and said, "You're not that great yet, don't be too proud."

A warm smile bloomed on Xia Xiaomiao's face. In fact, he was much more sensible than his peers. He knew very well that even in the company run by Brother Li Xu, the people inside were all independent individuals. His sister had Brother Li to rely on, but there were too many people who wanted to rely on Brother Li.

But my sister still has me.
