Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 486 Sleepless Night
Lei Jun now finally understands why Cheng Yi made him hold a press conference.

This really is a way for him to pledge his allegiance.

If Cheng Yi had told me beforehand that he was going to release a family version, Lei Jun would have seriously considered whether to get involved.

The internet cafe version of the Momo system is a commercial version, so it doesn't matter if the Momo system participates in government and enterprise procurement.

But the home version is different; it's the foundation of Microsoft.

Once Microsoft enters this field, it will have to fight tooth and nail.

But now it's too late to undo what's done, and even if Lei Jun regrets it, it's too late.

Lei Jun was in a bad mood before he came to Jingzhou City, but after he arrived, he found that he was in an even worse mood.

He really regretted getting on the Momo Group's pirate ship.

Because this pirate ship doesn't know which path of no return it will take.

Compared to Microsoft, Momo Group is like a seven-year-old child waving a branch at Microsoft, an adult.

In addition, the seven-year-old was accompanied by a five-year-old child with a runny nose.

There's no progress in sight, and Lei Jun is too lazy to listen to Cheng Yi's future plans anymore. Just getting through this hurdle is already a blessing.

He replied to Cheng Yi listlessly for a few moments, then got up to say goodbye.

"Director Bai, please arrange a presidential suite for President Lei," Cheng Yi said, standing up and speaking to Bai Yiheng, who was waiting nearby.

Since Bai Yiheng became the director of the group's office, his position has risen steadily.

Even officials from Jingzhou City would respectfully address him as Director Bai.

Bai Yiheng immediately smiled and said, "It's all arranged. I'll take President Lei there right away."

"Yes, Mr. Lei is our honored guest. If he has any special requests, please try your best to fulfill them as long as it doesn't violate your conscience and morality," Cheng Yi said with a smile.

"I understand, I understand." Bai Yiheng smiled broadly, giving him a knowing look.

After Bai Yiheng and Lei Jun left, Cheng Yi also left the office.

He now lives in apartment 1202 of Building 1 in the Momo Industrial Park.

The room is not large, only 120 square meters. Two sides of the room are floor-to-ceiling windows. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Momo Technology Industrial Park.

When Cheng Yi returned to the apartment, he saw Lin Qingyin wrapped in a large camel-colored wool coat, curled up in a swivel chair. The shimmering reflection from the screen faintly revealed the bloodshot eyes in her eyes.

Seeing Lin Qingyin's frail appearance, Cheng Yi couldn't help but sigh.

There is no other choice now but Lin Qingyin is the only one who can solve this problem.

His claim of not working overtime was just a show in front of Lei Jun. The real reason was the final breakthrough, which only Lin Qingyin could achieve, and even if the programmers worked overtime, it wouldn't make a difference.

Cheng Yi took a carton of milk, put it in a glass, rinsed it briefly with boiling water, and brought it to Lin Qingyin. He placed the milk into Lin Qingyin's cold hands and said, "It's already ten o'clock, let's rest first."

Lin Qingyin's voice was a little hoarse as she whispered, "Microsoft's lock has been opened."

"?!" Cheng Yi's eyes widened suddenly as he stared intently at Lin Qingyin's computer screen.

Was it successful?
On the screen, a simple blue diamond icon instantly lights up, and a simple white progress bar pops up below it.

Several lines of code cascaded across another split screen, finally settling on a green notification: "DRM Shell Stripped Successfully".

This message means that the DRM shell has been successfully removed.

Lin Qingyin finally turned her chair around, looked up at Cheng Yi, and her eyes flashed with a complicated expression.

She slowly stood up, her gaze still fixed on Cheng Yi. Although her eyes were firm, her voice was soft as she whispered, "Cheng... Cheng Yi..."

"What's wrong?" Cheng Yi thought Lin Qingyin wasn't feeling well, and quickly asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

Lin Qingyin said, "I'm a junior in college."

"?" Cheng Yi understood what Lin Qingyin wanted to do.

Seeing that Cheng Yi didn't respond, Lin Qingyin mustered up her courage and said, "Can I...can I sleep here tonight?"

Looking into Lin Qingyin's expectant eyes, Cheng Yi knew he couldn't delay any longer.

Over the course of that year, Cheng Yi vented most of the anger he had taken from Lin Qingyin on Zhang Lingyu.

Just as Lin Qingyin said, she was already a junior in college and would graduate in another year.

Today, Lin Qingyin wore an oatmeal-colored V-neck knit sweater and high-waisted khaki wide-leg pants, which clearly outlined her graceful curves. Her beige pointed-toe flat shoes from Xiao Qiao were slightly turned inward due to nervousness, and even her breathing became slightly rapid.

She was so bold in revealing her true feelings because she was really afraid that Cheng Yi would reject her.

She's unsure whether Cheng Yi still likes her.

If he likes her, why are so many people at Momo Group saying that Cheng Yi's girlfriend is Zhang Lingyu?
If you don't like her... why help her so much?

In that year, Momo Group spent tens of millions on her training. Whatever Lin Qingyin wanted to learn, Momo Group gave her the green light. Even if she wanted to consult with a top global programmer, Momo Group would do everything possible to bring that programmer to Jingzhou City.

She didn't know what Cheng Yi was worried about.

But today, she didn't want to be reserved anymore; she wanted to take the initiative.

She's not the naive, silly girl she was two years ago anymore. Now she has friends, a social life, and her own little world.

But he was the only one missing from this little world.

"I'll hold you while we sleep tonight." Cheng Yi patted Lin Qingyin's head.

Lin Qingyin bit her lip and said, "Cheng Yi, I want you to love me like you love Ailingyu."

Upon hearing Lin Qingyin's words, Cheng Yi's heart skipped a beat.

"Okay." Looking at Lin Qingyin's delicate yet tired face, he walked over slowly, gently embraced her, and said only one word.

The word "good" made Lin Qingyin relax completely.

Cheng Yi embraced Lin Qingyin, gently kissing her tired eyelids, then the tip of her nose, and finally her lips...

His hand moved slowly behind her back, and even through the soft knitwear, he could still feel the smoothness of Lin Qingyin's body.

The kiss gradually grew longer and deeper, and Lin Qingyin responded awkwardly but earnestly, her fingers unconsciously clutching Cheng Yi's shirt.

When their lips parted, their foreheads touched, and their breaths mingled.

Cheng Yi's slender fingers stroked Lin Qingyin's delicate cheek, wiping away a stray strand of her hair, and he said with a deep gaze, "Are you ready?"

"Hmm..." Lin Qingyin's eyes held a mixture of trepidation and excitement.

Cheng Yi suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "You take a shower first, I still need to go out and prepare some things."

No condom!

The most important reason he chose not to touch Lin Qingyin was that he was worried that Lin Qingyin would get pregnant.

Lin Qingyin is now the embodiment of Momo Group's hopes, drawing on the strengths of many, and her talent is unparalleled. If it were a male programmer, even if that male programmer's talent were ten times that of Lin Qingyin, Cheng Yi would never have poured so many resources into cultivating him.

Loyalty comes first, more so than talent.

In the next five years, Lin Qingyin will be the sharpest sword of Momo Group.

Therefore, Lin Qingyin absolutely cannot get pregnant.

At the very least, Lin Qingyin must maintain her best condition until she turns 28.

Although Cheng Yi is relatively humane among capitalists, a capitalist is a capitalist. In order to achieve their goals, capitalists can even abandon their own desires.

"Okay." Watching Cheng Yi run out of the apartment, Lin Qingyin could only walk into the bathroom alone.

It was 10 p.m., and there were still many men and women strolling around the commercial street. Cheng Yi was worried about running into employees of Momo Group, so he bought a mask at a convenience store first.

After putting on his mask, Cheng Yi quickly walked to the adult products store on the commercial street.

He bought a box of ultra-thin products, and just as he stepped out of the adult store, he heard a familiar voice coming from not far away.

"President Cheng? Isn't this President Cheng?"

These words startled Cheng Yi.

He's practically a public figure now; if this gets out, what will happen?

That influence was as explosive as Hu Ge's late-night visits to adult product stores.

This is one of the reasons why he had Du Yusheng stand in front. Du Yusheng, for example, lives almost every day in the sight of gossip reporters, and all kinds of gossip news are everywhere.

Cheng Yi wanted to run, but the person who spoke quickly blocked his way.

It's Su Duo.

Su Duo's eyes sparkled with gossip as she looked at Cheng Yi with delight.

Cheng Yi stopped and said in a deep voice, "Are you blind? It's so dark, how could you recognize me even with a mask on?"

"Hey, what's our relationship? I can recognize you just by your back." Su Duo chuckled. "President Cheng, you probably don't want everyone to know about this, right?"

Cheng Yi said in a low voice, "Shut up, I have other things to do, I don't have time to mess around with you."

Su Duo is now the vice general manager of Xizi Hanyan Clothing Company. Nowadays, with the help of Momo Celebrity Agency and its network of connections in the entertainment industry, Xizi Hanyan has become a unique high-end custom clothing brand in China. Many celebrities choose to wear Xizi Hanyan clothing when attending important occasions.

The difference between Xizi Hanyan and those international brands is that you will never wear the same outfit as someone else.

For the past few months, Xizi Hanyan has been organizing fashion competitions, so Su Duo's appearance here was quite unexpected.

"Ha, you still dare to treat me like this!" After two years of settling in, Su Duo had lost her distinctive Taiwanese accent. She said angrily, "I heard from Sun Baxin that you're planning to organize an international e-sports competition. My request is simple: can you let my team be the planner and operator?"

"Fine, fine, fine." Cheng Yi threw down these three sentences and left as if fleeing.

"It's a promise, okay?" Su Duo's smug laughter could still be heard behind him.

Cheng Yi had been planning this international e-sports competition for a long time, but a series of events left him no time to organize it. After all, this was a huge undertaking, involving the distribution of satellite dishes and the launch of an internet television station.

Without resolving these pressing issues, it will be difficult to move this matter forward.

Back in the apartment, the lights were much dimmer.

Lin Qingyin was curled up in bed, covered by the blanket. The sound of the door opening made her body tremble slightly.

Cheng Yi first went to the bedroom to take a shower, changed into a set of pajamas, and came to the bedside.

He slowly pulled back the silk quilt and saw Lin Qingyin wearing a white silk nightgown.

The silk robe was form-fitting, outlining Lin Qingyin's figure in a very alluring way.

He stood by the bed, admiring this rare sight, and couldn't help but smile.

He approached, his fingers lifting the ribbon of Lin Qingyin's nightgown...

[3600 words deleted here]

This was the first time Lin Qingyin had experienced this feeling, from the initial pain to feeling as if she were in a cloud of mist.

Especially that fleeting shiver, which gave her a feeling of her soul leaving her body.

After taking a shower, she lay on the edge of the bed, recalling what had just happened, and couldn't help but sob.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Yi asked gently, holding Lin Qingyin's delicate body in his arms.

Lin Qingyin nestled in Cheng Yi's arms, her voice trembling as she asked, "Am I your woman now?"

"You've always been my woman," Cheng Yi said with a smile. "Now and forever."

Lin Qingyin looked up at Cheng Yi's angular face, her eyes somewhat dazed.

Cheng Yi now appears much more aloof than when they first met him. The childishness on his face has vanished, replaced by a sharp and imposing aura.

Cheng Yi stroked Lin Qingyin's sweat-dampened bangs and said in a commanding tone, "Close your eyes and go to sleep."

"I want to watch you sleep." Lin Qingyin's tone carried a hint of coquetry.

"How can you sleep with your eyes open?" Cheng Yi laughed.

"Then hold me while I sleep," Lin Qingyin pleaded.

Having gone through that first time, Lin Qingyin has become somewhat clingy.

After experiencing something like this, a girl's personality will change. Cheng Yi only hopes that this change will not affect Lin Qingyin's talent.

He held Lin Qingyin's soft, cuddly body in his arms and gently patted her back until she finally fell asleep.

It was already past midnight when Cheng Yi got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. Gazing at the still-shining lights of the commercial street in the distance, he couldn't help but take out a cigarette.

He is not addicted to cigarettes, but sometimes he will unconsciously want to smoke one.

He pulled up a chair, looked down at the entire Momo Technology Industrial Park, and puffed on his cigarette.

To be honest, this feeling of dancing on a knife's edge is not comfortable.

If he is not careful, the business empire he has painstakingly built will collapse in an instant. But that's how business competition is. It's not that if you choose to tolerate it, the other party will not attack you.

In the IT industry, honest people can't survive. Whether you like it or not, these IT giants will force you to work your life against them.

Because the IT industry has a strict hierarchy, if you try to move up a level, you will harm the interests of many people.

After finishing his cigarette, Cheng Yi lay on the chair, unable to fall asleep.

The icebreaker is ready, but this is just the beginning.

At this moment, Lei Jun, who was staying in the presidential suite, was also tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

"One adult dog, two adult dogs, three adult dogs..." Lei Jun muttered to himself, and finally slowly fell asleep.
