Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 241 [240] You are the best brother
At night, Chen Xingruo suddenly woke up, yawned, and habitually got up to go to the bathroom, only to see that the door to her sister's room next door was only ajar, with light shining out.

Curious, she walked over, pushed open the door, and saw Chen Xingzhu wearing a light blue short-sleeved nightgown, sitting on the bed playing on her phone.

The good-for-nothing panda lay beside her, enjoying Chen Xingzhu's gentle stroking, squinting its eyes and making "purring" sounds.

"Sister~"

Chen Xingruo called out softly, asking her in confusion, "Why aren't you sleeping? What are you doing?"

"I just took a nap."

Chen Xingzhu was caught red-handed by her sister and answered softly, a little embarrassed, "Let's take a look at the Chronicle's report."

"What report?"

Chen Xingruo blinked, sat down on the edge of the bed, and as the mattress sank, the panda finally realized its owner had arrived, so it came over and rubbed against her.

"Spineless!"

Chen Xingruo pushed it away with disdain, "It only recognized me before, but after only a few days, it can't even tell the real Monkey King from the fake one... It's much dumber than Xiao Guai!"

Back in Suicheng, she went to great lengths to please Xiaoguai, often feeding it and deliberately cleaning its litter box, changing its water and food when it could see her. Even so, Xiaoguai still didn't seem to like her much.

But Panda was different. Chen Xingzhu had only been at home for two days, and before she could even try to please her, Panda was already clinging to her all the time, as if she were another master.

"The tabby cat is still the smartest!"

Chen Xingruo snorted, finished scolding the kitten, and then moved closer to her sister, "Xu Jinhuan's?"

"Ah."

Chen Xingzhu handed the phone to her younger sister, Chen Xingruo, who was dumbfounded to see that it was all in English: "It's all in English?"

Chen Xingzhu retorted, "Didn't you say your English was very good?"

"What I meant was that my spoken English is very good..."

Chen Xingruo explained in a slightly guilty voice that almost everyone at her private high school was preparing to study abroad, and English was a key subject. Under such influence, her spoken English was indeed quite good.

But not being mute doesn't mean not being illiterate; reading reports entirely in English is a bit difficult for him.

"Let me translate it for you,"

Chen Xingzhu glared at her younger sister, then took out her phone to translate for her, as if telling a story, "It says that there's a popular little game on the iPhone recently. I came across this game through her daughter. It's very interesting. Many of her daughter's classmates and colleagues are also playing it."

"In the game, you can touch the screen with your finger to control a crudely pixelated bird to fly through obstacles..."

"By chance, she learned from a friend that this little game was created by a seventeen-year-old boy from the Far East who taught himself programming..."

Chen Xingruo kicked off her slippers, crawled into her sister's bed, and snuggled up to her, just like when she was a child listening to stories.

Back then, the two sisters listened together, but the person who was nestled in their arms and told them the story was now thousands of miles away.

"Thanks to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, this game has been released in more than a dozen countries around the world, accumulating over 100 million downloads... Because both Apple and Google provide advertising revenue for developers, this Chinese boy, who is still in high school, can earn nearly $1000 a day, which has greatly improved his life and brought about a dramatic change in his situation..."

At this point, Chen Xingzhu frowned and said, "The following are some statements with a more obvious bias."

Chen Xingruo asked curiously, "What do you mean by 'more obvious inclination'?"

"Just like the reports have been emphasizing that the game's success is dependent on Apple and Google."

In fact, Chen Xingzhu was not originally sensitive to these things. It was mainly after getting to know Xu Jinhuan that she was inevitably influenced by him during conversations, which made her notice these things and understand his intentions.

"In short, the report's main point is: great tech companies like Apple and Google benefit all of humanity, even enabling a poor high school student in the Far East to make money..."

Chen Xingzhu does not deny that Xu Jinhuan made his money thanks to Apple and Google, but how many people have achieved the same level of success as Xu Jinhuan when everyone with a smartphone can use Apple and Google's app stores?
She had initially thought the report would focus on praising Xu Jinhuan's inspirational story, but the report only touched on it briefly, spending most of the article explicitly and implicitly praising the greatness of the two companies and further extending it to the level of the light of the beacon illuminating humanity.

In short: Because Xu Jinhuan succeeded, the greatness of Mi Lijian needs no further explanation!

This made Chen Xingzhu very uncomfortable, but she still found a lot of clips that she could use to showcase in the competition, and silently memorized them.

She didn't plan to tell Xu Jinhuan directly, because that might deprive Xu Jinhuan of the sense of accomplishment that originally belonged to him.

She planned to first look at the clips Xu Jinhuan had selected, and then help him fill in the gaps. This way, she could maximize the success of the task and also ensure his sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

"Anyway, the report praised him, right?"

Chen Xingruo pondered for a moment, "Would this help him?"

"there must be."

Chen Xingzhu nodded, "But it would be best to attract the attention of other media outlets, as that would be more convincing..."

"It's only been reported recently, it will take a day or two to see the results."

Chen Xingruo yawned. "I'm going to the bathroom. Do you want to come?"

Chen Xingzhu shook her head, and Chen Xingruo went to the toilet. Panda followed, seemingly suspecting that she was secretly eating something delicious inside. It scratched at the door with its paws, wanting to go in and take a look.

If Chen Xingruo ignored it, it pawed at the door a few times, but seeing that the door wouldn't open, it waited patiently at the door.

Chen Xingzhu searched for comments about "Flappy Bird" on foreign websites. Just as she was reading, Chen Xingruo came over again carrying a panda. Chen Xingzhu looked at her sister in confusion, and Chen Xingruo said with a grin, "I'll sleep with you; I'll sleep better that way."

Chen Xingzhu said reproachfully, "I want to sleep alone."

"I want to sleep with someone."

Chen Xingruo chuckled, squeezed into the blankets, and wrapped her arms around her sister's waist. "You go ahead, I'm going to sleep..."

Chen Xingzhu checked the time; it was almost 3 a.m., so she put down her phone, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.

"The flavor is too strong..."

When Xu Jinhuan woke up the next morning, he was still lying in bed. He yawned and got up before he could even finish reading the report.

You don't even need to read the rest to know what it's trying to say, but since the goal has been achieved, nothing else matters.

The report does not represent my personal views.

It was 7 a.m. on the 25th, while it was the afternoon of the 24th on the other side of the ocean. The report had been out for most of the day. Xu Jinhuan searched for related reports online and was shocked by what he found.

Surprisingly, more than twenty media outlets reprinted or commented on this report.

Xu Jinhuan didn't recognize any of them, but after curiously searching for the backgrounds of the two media outlets, he immediately understood.

NGO? Oh, that's alright then!

He saw the shadows of several domestic companies and organizations in it, and the meanings they expressed were the same as those in the original report, but with a stronger flavor.

'It's a pity I didn't have the chance to speak at Harvard's commencement ceremony...'

Xu Jinhuan muttered to himself, then heard Song Zhiyu talking to her mother outside, so he pulled up his pants and washed up.

"Brother, did you see that?"

As Song Zhiyu came out of the restroom, she was excitedly sharing the good news with Xu Haiguang and Song Xiaohui on her phone. When she saw him coming over, she said happily, "So many media outlets are reporting on it!"

"I just saw it."

Xu Jinhuan didn't say much. Although none of them were reputable or authoritative media outlets, and although they had ulterior motives, they were enough to make up the numbers, and there was no need to spoil the fun for everyone.

"Brother, you're amazing!"

Song Zhiyu was very excited, her big eyes blinking, seemingly admiring him. "This is the first time I've met someone from a news report, and so many media outlets have reported on it all at once..."

Although Xu Jinhuan knew that she had been deliberately acting well-behaved lately, she couldn't help but feel a little flattered by her admiring expression. She enjoyed it but was too embarrassed to show it, so she tried to act naturally and said in a normal tone, "Don't flatter me. You're trying to kill me with praise."

"You're already amazing~"

Song Zhiyu puffed out her cheeks, then reached out her little hand and patted his shoulder, like a big brother encouraging a little devil, saying, "Don't be self-conscious, you are the best brother in our family!"

Xu Jinhuan rolled her eyes: "That's because we only have one older brother."

"No one in the group has said anything yet. Sister Xingzhu and Sister Wanqing probably don't know yet. I'll send it to them..."

Song Zhiyu praised him for a while, then ignored him and started taking screenshots on her phone to send to the group chat.

"Ding Dong"

Upstairs in her room, Xie Wanqing was sitting in front of the Macbook Air that Xu Jinhuan had given her, using both her phone and computer to translate the original reports and comments using Google Translate to understand some words she couldn't comprehend.

Suddenly, her phone rang. She picked it up and saw several screenshots sent by Song Zhiyu.

Song Zhiyu: "My brother has been featured in the news!"

Song Zhiyu: "Many media outlets reported on it together!"

Song Zhiyu: "[Image]"

Song Zhiyu: "[Image]"

Song Zhiyu: "[Image]"

Song Zhiyu: "[Image]"

Song Zhiyu: "@Xie Wanqing @Chen Xingzhu @Chen Xingruo, did you see this?"

'Why don't you translate this?'

Xie Wanqing muttered a complaint under her breath, then typed:
"what?"

So many?

"I just got up, I'm going to go check on it."

Then I saw that Chen Xingzhu also sent a message: "I just woke up too."
