Rebirth Must Be Happy

Chapter 295 [293] Only what you hold in your arms is truly yours (Third Update)

After the defense, Xu Jinhuan did not leave immediately, but waited for Li Xiaoming for a while. After all, the admission with lowered scores was not a small matter, and he needed to confirm it.

Li Xiaoming naturally understood these things as well, and directly took a reduced-score admission agreement, the main clauses of which were:
1. Peking University lowered the admission score for Xu Jinhuan to the first-tier university cutoff line;

2. Limited to Computer Science majors;
3. Xu Jinhuan must list Peking University as his first choice;
Special category candidates need to be publicized on the Ministry of Education's website, but the 2012 campus recruitment is not yet completely over and will have to wait until around April next year. This is considered to be a guarantee by signing an agreement in advance.

After a while, Xu Jinhuan will receive a "Confirmation Letter of Admission Qualification with Reduced Score," which will serve as a more formal commitment.

After the two parties reached a satisfactory agreement, Xu Jinhuan asked, "Professor Li, what kind of support and preferential treatment can I get if I start a business at Peking University?"

Li Xiaoming wasn't surprised and said with a smile, "Up to 50 yuan in interest-free loans, one year of free office space, 100% refund of the district-level retained portion of value-added tax and income tax for the first three years, and if the financing exceeds 500 million yuan, you can apply for two residency quotas for recent graduates..."

Awesome!
Xu Jinhuan sighed inwardly at the prestige of top universities and said with a smile, "Then I look forward to getting into Peking University as soon as possible."

Li Xiaoming laughed and said, "The tax rebate will end in 2014 and may not continue. If you want to enjoy the policy, you'd better hurry up."

I do want to!

After parting ways with Li Xiaoming, Xu Jinhuan met up with Xie Wanqing at the door, only to find Zheng Quanzhan also there.

Upon seeing Xu Jinhuan emerge, the chief scientist of Tencent Research Institute approached him with a smile and said, "Xu, I have a colleague who is very interested in you and that game. He's from the investment department. Have you considered contacting him?"

"of course."

Xu Jinhuan agreed with a smile almost without hesitation.

"That's good. I was worried you wouldn't be interested."

Tencent is certainly a large company, but the arrogance of a young man can disregard everything, especially since Xu Jinhuan's income is now very considerable, comparable to that of a small company in terms of profit, so he has the right to be arrogant.

Given Tencent's poor reputation these days, Zheng Quanzhan was initially worried about having to persuade them, but seeing that Xu Jinhuan agreed, he was truly relieved. He immediately took down Xu Jinhuan's contact information and sent it to his colleagues.

This colleague in the investment department was very efficient; the phone rang as soon as Xu Jinhuan sat down to eat.

The other party's name was Xiang Zhihao, an employee of Tencent's most mysterious M&A investment department. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he got down to business.

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "As long as the price is right, I have no objection to Tencent investing or even taking a controlling stake. But right now, Tencent can't give me the price I want. If I make an offer, it will only be a joke. Why not wait until next year when I go to Beijing to study at university?"

Xiang Zhihao asked, "Are you planning to work on any other projects this year?"

Xu Jinhuan said, "Yes, we can only talk about it after we have achieved results."

Xiang Zhihao wasn't going to give up so easily and still wanted to find out more. But President Xu wasn't a real high school student; he was extremely cautious. Xiang Zhihao had no choice but to say, "Okay, then let's wait until after the college entrance exam next year."

"it is good."

Xu Jinhuan hung up the phone. Xie Wanqing, seeing that he had finished the conversation in just a few words, asked curiously, "Aren't you going to wait for them to name a price?"

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "Sister, do you think people would give me a few small goals if I asked for them now?"

"Of course not."

Xie Wanqing knew how much "small goal" was, and gave him a reproachful look, "Even if someone has money, they wouldn't spend it like that."

"So there's no need to discuss it."

For Xu Jinhuan, Tencent's investment is a good thing, as it allows him to successfully develop his version of "Honor of Kings" while avoiding the copyright issues associated with League of Legends and direct competition with Tencent.

The development and promotion of "Honor of Kings" requires a considerable amount of funding, and he wants to launch it before Tencent's version. Relying on a major company is a shortcut, and among the three BAT companies in China, Tencent is the one that Xu Jinhuan is most willing to accept.

Of the three, Alibaba's management of its invested companies is similar to that of the Qin Dynasty, which involves acquisition and assimilation, and is the most stringent. Tencent is the most loose, resembling an alliance, and does not have the obsessive pursuit of complete control. Baidu is somewhere in between, somewhat like a mercenary or Guan Ning cavalry model.

Given the unique nature of the mobile game industry, a joint venture with Tencent is a relatively good option.

Of course, this does not mean that Tencent will be more conscientious or lenient; therefore, necessary hedging and balancing are essential.

There's a lecture this afternoon, and a safety check will be done afterwards because it will be open to the public tomorrow, and there can't be any safety hazards.

The check-up for Xu Jinhuan was simple and quick. It was still raining outside, and he and Xie Wanqing returned to the hotel together under an umbrella.

He took a shower first, then sent a message to Xie Wanqing: "Sister, I'd like to sleep at your place again tonight, is that okay?"

Xie Wanqing asked, "Sure."

Xu Jinhuan was a little surprised that she agreed so easily, but no matter what, it was a good thing that she agreed, so she said, "Then I'll take the things over, and then we'll go eat together."

He quickly took the clothes to Xie Wanqing's room, and was taken aback when he entered, because he clearly noticed that the entire room had been cleaned, the bedding was brand new and neatly folded.

The mattress that he accidentally spilled yesterday, and which was obviously too wet to dry today due to the good weather, has clearly been replaced with a new one.

'No wonder…' Xu Jinhuan finally understood why Xie Wanqing had agreed so readily.

"what happened?"

Xie Wanqing observed his expression and naturally knew the reason. She felt a little shy, but also a little smug. She deliberately pretended to be puzzled and asked him, "Auntie helped clean it, it's fine. They even changed your blankets..."

"Yes, that's a good thing."

Xu Jinhuan forced a smile, "It's definitely a good thing. It's too cramped for two people to sleep together. It's definitely more comfortable to sleep alone..."

No wonder!
Xu Jinhuan felt a sense of enjoyment and nostalgia when he thought about the feeling of having a warm and soft woman in his arms when he woke up in the morning.

"Hello~"

To avoid giving Song Zhiyu anything to say, Xu Jinhuan made a video call after sitting down. Chen Xingzhu hadn't finished school yet, but her father had already gotten off work, and they both appeared in the video call soon after.

"Did you really get into Peking University?"

Mom and Dad were still a little worried, "Won't you go back on your word?"

"Don't worry, that's the ancestral home of a university, so they'll definitely provide the necessary procedures and ceremony. They'll also send you a letter of intent, and later a confirmation letter for the reduced admission score."

Xu Jinhuan explained with a smile, and Xie Wanqing suddenly said from the side, "Xiaoqiang said you're not replying to his messages..."

"Let me see."

Xu Jinhuan switched to WeChat while video chatting and saw that Xie Zhiqiang had indeed sent a message asking about being admitted to Peking University, so she smiled and asked, "Has your sister replied yet?"

Xie Wanqing said, "Yes, I'm back."

"Then I won't go back."

Xu Jinhuan chatted with his parents for a while, and Song Zhiyu, seeing that he didn't talk to her much, said with dissatisfaction, "Brother, aren't you going to thank me?"

"Thanks for helping me promote it, right?"

Xu Jinhuan rolled her eyes at her phone. "Didn't I already thank you on WeChat?"

"That's sarcasm, don't think I don't know!"

Song Zhiyu snorted and said angrily, "Wait until Sister Xingzhu comes, then we'll see what you say..."

Chen Xingzhu didn't mention in the WeChat group that she helped her get attention, so she probably told Xu Jinhuan when she went home for lunch. Xu Jinhuan deliberately pressed for details, asking, "What happened, Xingzhu?"

"I call Xingzhu 'sister,' what do you call her 'sister'?"

Song Zhiyu snorted again, glaring at him angrily, "Having an older sister isn't enough, is it?"

Xie Wanqing came to Xu Jinhuan's side and said with dissatisfaction, "Why are you being so sarcastic and veiled towards me?"

"Ah, Sister Wanqing, you're here!"

Song Zhiyu looked like she had just found out, "I didn't know! If I had known, would I have been sarcastic to your face?"

"Come on, didn't you hear what I just said?"

Xie Wanqing didn't believe it at all, and threatened weakly, "I'll deal with you when I get back."

"My sister wouldn't want to part with it!"

Song Zhiyu wasn't afraid of her at all. She revealed her dimples and smiled sweetly, "I'm so cute, aren't I?"

After chatting for a while, Chen Xingzhu returned. They chatted for a bit longer, then hung up the phone and went to a restaurant together for dinner.

As Xu Jinhuan closed the door, she couldn't help but glance at her bed again, wondering if it would be too obvious if she accidentally knocked over a cup and wet the bedding again tonight.
Even if it's obvious, given Sister Xie's personality, she probably won't turn against you, right?

'At least they won't hit me...'

Xu Jinhuan muttered to himself, still feeling a little uneasy. He wasn't afraid of being beaten, but he was afraid that if he was too blatant, Xie Wanqing might really get angry.

'This is forcing me to be shameless!'

He sighed inwardly. Since he had already decided to be shameless, it didn't seem like a big deal to be shameless a couple more times...

Only when you hold it in your arms does it truly belong to you!
