Since they are reborn, they must be supported by the school beauties.

Chapter 198 is absolutely amazing!

In the afternoon, when Chen Cheng received Lu Youyou's call and arrived at the school gate, Lu Youyou and her family of three were already waiting outside.

Upon seeing Chen Cheng, Lu Youyou got out of the car and waved to him: "Chen Cheng, over here!"

Seeing that Lu Youyou's parents were about to get out of the car, Chen Cheng quickly walked over and said, "Uncle and Aunt, don't get out of the car, let's just go."

After saying that, he opened the car door and got in.

Lu Zhixing greeted him with a smile: "Xiao Chen, have you been busy with your studies lately?"

Chen Cheng replied, "It's alright, not too busy."

Xiao Suqin said with a smile, "Xiao Chen, what would you like to eat tonight? I asked Youyou, and she said she wanted to eat crayfish. I don't know if that suits your taste?"

Chen Cheng nodded and said, "Auntie, I'm fine with anything, I'll just have crayfish."

Lu Youyou leaned on the headrest of the passenger seat and laughed, "I told you Chen Cheng definitely wouldn't have any objections, but you still didn't believe me."

Xiao Suqin said indulgently, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's that I'm afraid Chen Cheng might not say anything but is unhappy inside. I'm getting tired of eating that stuff with you all the time."

Lu Youyou puffed out her cheeks and muttered, "I only ate it twice."

Xiao Suqin thought to herself, "It's only been a short time since school started, and you two have already eaten crayfish twice. Ordinary classmates don't usually go out to eat this often, do they?"
But being a mother, she deliberately tested the waters and, having gotten the result, simply smiled without revealing anything.

Lu Zhixing drove smoothly towards the crayfish restaurant that Lu Youyou loved. While driving, he said to Chen Cheng, "By the way, Chen, the Fancheng Power Plant has already returned some of the payment, and I've transferred it to Yuanteng. The payments should gradually return to normal. I'm so grateful to you for this. I'll have to ask you to thank President Zhang for me when I have the chance!"

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "It's good that things have returned to normal. Actually, it's a win-win situation for both you and Brother Zhang."

Lu Zhixing nodded, thinking to himself, "If I have Youyou tell you not to pay back that million, and you agree, wouldn't that be a win-win-win situation?"

However, he didn't say it out loud right away. Instead, he thought of the taxi company and couldn't help but sigh, "Xiao Chen, I heard that taxi license plates have gone crazy recently. Your company probably hasn't made any moves yet, right?"

"not yet."

Chen Cheng said, "I plan to wait a little longer, but it shouldn't be too long. I should be able to make a move around the beginning of next month."

Lu Zhixing exclaimed, "You really have to admire that. When we first heard that you bought the taxi company, your Aunt Xiao and I both thought that the business was unlikely to make money, and that it would be good if we could lose as little as possible. We never expected that it would have such great potential for growth."

Chen Cheng could only laugh and say, "I didn't expect it to rise so fast. I thought the reasonable price should be around 60,000 or 70,000. If I bought in at 40,000, I could probably make a profit of about a million. But then people from Wencheng came in and started speculating, and it exceeded my expectations."

Lu Zhixing said earnestly, "With the right judgment, the right actions, and good timing, it's hard not to succeed. You've already done a great job with your first business venture."

Chen Cheng smiled modestly. He said that the main reason he made this money was because of the advantages of being a reborn person, and it had little to do with his personal abilities. Besides, the money he used to do this business was all borrowed. He was somewhat self-deprecating and didn't think he was that great.

Lu Zhixing drove the car to the location, and the four of them found an empty table outdoors.

After sitting down, Lu Zhixing took out cigarettes, pulled out two, and handed one to Chen Cheng, asking him, "Little Chen, do you smoke?"

Chen Cheng didn't stand on ceremony, took the cigarette, thanked him, and said, "I smoke occasionally, but not much."

As he spoke, he took out his lighter and lit Lu Zhixing's cigarette first.

Before the food was served, Lu Zhixing spoke his mind: "Xiao Chen, to be honest, you helped your uncle a lot with the Yuanteng Group matter. You not only helped me through the crisis, but you also helped my business expand by almost double. Your uncle is very grateful to you. However, gratitude cannot just be words; it must be shown in sincerity. So, your uncle's idea is that you don't need to pay back the one million you took from Youyou when you bought the company. I will give this money to Youyou as a small token of my appreciation."

Chen Cheng neither agreed nor disagreed, but simply told Lu Zhixing, "Uncle Lu, this matter is originally a debt relationship between me and Xiaolu. If you get involved, it will become a triangular debt. Let me and Xiaolu handle it privately. We will take care of it."

Lu Youyou looked at Chen Cheng in surprise, wondering what he meant by saying they would settle it privately, and whether she should keep the money or not.

Lu Zhixing understood the implication in Chen Cheng's words: once Chen Cheng said that, it would be inappropriate for him to continue discussing the topic.

But the main purpose of my coming here today was to get this million-dollar deal settled. Now it seems that was wishful thinking. I never expected that Chen Cheng would neither agree nor refuse, but instead simply remove me from this matter.

Judging from this pattern, Chen Cheng definitely won't accept the money.

So, he had a sudden inspiration and said to Chen Cheng, "Okay, you young people can handle the matter between you and Youyou yourselves. But I have made my position clear: once the payment comes in at the end of the month, I will transfer the one million to Youyou first."

After saying that, he didn't wait for Chen Cheng to respond and said directly to Lu Youyou, "Youyou, you and Xiao Chen can handle the rest later."

Lu Youyou didn't care about money to begin with, but if her father and Chen Cheng both gave her a million, it would make her feel like a middleman.

But she also knew that Chen Cheng's personality was beyond her ability to persuade. He had already taken her card, so how could she stop him from paying her back?
However, she had also learned to be smart. Everyone wanted to simplify things. Chen Cheng wanted to bypass his parents and work with her, and her father also wanted to be a hands-off manager. He gave her a million yuan to deal with Chen Cheng, so she simply lay low for now and deal with it later.

So she nodded and said, "Okay, Dad, I understand."

The couple, Lu Zhixing and Xiao Suqin, grew to like Chen Cheng more and more each time they looked at him. In the past, they could always find all sorts of flaws in young people, but Chen Cheng was the only one they could find pleasing to the eye.

Xiao Suqin even felt that her daughter and Chen Cheng looked very well-matched at first glance. Moreover, they were both college students from prestigious universities, lived close to each other, and attended schools close to each other. If they could really get together, support each other during college, and then get married and have children after entering society, how gratified she, as a mother, would be.
After finishing their meal, Xiao Suqin specifically asked Lu Zhixing to take Chen Cheng back to school first.

After Chen Cheng got out of the car, she turned around and asked Lu Youyou, "Youyou, tell Mom, how far have things progressed between you and Chen Cheng?"

Lu Youyou said somewhat awkwardly, "There's no such thing as 'developing to a certain stage,' we're just high school classmates." Xiao Suqin asked with some disappointment, "Didn't Chen Cheng confess to you?"

Lu Youyou shook her head: "No, he's so busy every day, he probably doesn't have the time or energy to date."

"What are you busy with?"

Xiao Suqin said in surprise, "Didn't he say he wasn't very busy with his studies?"

Lu Youyou said, "I'm not busy with my studies, but I'm very busy with my business."

"Start a business?"

Xiao Suqin was even more confused: "Why doesn't he just buy that taxi company and let it appreciate in value? What's the point of all this trouble?"

Lu Youyou explained, "Chen Cheng created a website called Xiaonei.com, which is a social platform for college students. It already has two to three million users and is very popular. Many college students are using it."

Xiao Suqin was surprised and asked in astonishment, "He also runs a website?"

"Correct."

Lu Youyou said, "My classmates and I all use his website; it's quite interesting."

Xiao Suqin didn't understand the internet, but when she heard that there were millions of users, she was truly shocked. She couldn't help but sigh, "This child has so much energy. I wonder if running a website can make money?"

Lu Youyou shook her head and said, "I don't know either, but they're probably losing money on it right now. Sometimes they have incentive policies and give bonuses to users."

Xiao Suqin didn't quite understand, so she said, "You should give him more advice and occasionally remind him not to continue making large investments if he doesn't see a return on his investment."

Lu Youyou said, "I don't understand what he's doing at all. Giving him random advice will only cause him trouble. I believe in his abilities, and I'm sure he can make money."

After returning to school, Chen Cheng arranged to meet the young man who had sold the software before.

He proposed a cooperation model to the other party, which involved connecting him with internet cafe owners he had contact with and inviting them to act as agents for the sale of campus currency.

The specific sales policy is that each store is given a credit line of 1,000 yuan, and they can sell first and then settle accounts with us, with a sales commission of 15%.

In addition, Chen Cheng gave the young man a commission of 100 yuan for each business he visited.

However, I don't plan to expand to all internet cafes initially.

If every internet cafe has this, it will inevitably dilute the revenue of each internet cafe, causing everyone to lose their enthusiasm from the start.

Chen Cheng's plan is to open only ten stores in each city initially.

Only when these ten companies make money will other companies become envious and want to join.

As for channels outside the province, Chen Cheng plans to recruit online first. If any internet cafes are willing to join this distribution system, they can directly submit their applications online, along with their business licenses, permits, and other materials. Once approved, they can join the distribution system.

However, he does not plan to launch it immediately, because what he wants to do is not just a single membership system, but a system for the issuance and consumption of virtual currency.

Therefore, we must wait until the campus showcase and the background music function on the personal homepage are both completed before launching them together.

That evening, Liu Shiyu received the first song accompaniment sent back from the United States.

It was her favorite song, "In My Song".

The accompaniment produced by Berkeley's top students is of a very high standard. Although the arrangement and instruments are simple, they are able to blend perfectly with the song.

In the music room, Liu Shiyu recorded her vocals using the computer's microphone, then slightly reduced the background noise and adjusted the equalization in the software before mixing it with the accompaniment. The result was already stunning.

She asked Chen Cheng for his email address and sent him the rough recording. She also told Chen Cheng that if he had no objections to the accompaniment and singing style, she would find a professional recording studio to record the song.

Chen Cheng plugged his five-yuan earphones into his laptop and listened to Liu Shiyu's version of "You Exist in My Song," and was deeply moved.

Liu Shiyu's voice is at least one or two levels better than the original singer's.

The original singer's singing style leans towards Western pop music, but the imitation is very obvious. She looks like an Asian woman with a very American style of dress and clothing. It's not that she looks bad, but the sense of incongruity is a bit strong.

But Liu Shiyu's voice was noticeably more natural, more sincere, and more emotional.

Chen Cheng cut out the chorus, put it on the test page, and added code for automatic playback.

The page opened, and the campus avatar flickered slightly with simple animation effects, followed by a melodious song: "Without any warning, without any hesitation, you appeared just like that, in my world..."

Chen Cheng suddenly felt that putting this song on his personal space was absolutely brilliant. No visitor would be able to help but shudder when they heard it.

If it happens to be a member of the opposite sex who has feelings for the blogger, wow, I'll be in a state of ecstasy and unable to sleep all night!
