Rebirth Must Be Happy

What are you going to do this time?

"There's a lot to do, a whole bunch of things to do."

Xu Jinhuan casually replied, "We need to meet with the new employees, have a chat, and determine who has more potential for development. I originally planned to transfer my cousin over when we open a company in Beijing in a while, but I talked to him a few days ago, and he still prefers to stay in Hangzhou. I'll talk to him again this time and see what he says. If it doesn't work out, I'll transfer someone else over..."

"If we're going to get Brother Tiao, we'll need to find someone to manage things in Hangzhou... and then we'll summarize the situation with Subway Surfers, figure out how to brag to people, and swindle more money..."

Xie Wanqing nodded from the passenger seat and asked, "Does it really have to be Tencent that's investing? Isn't Xingzhu's dad already very rich?"

"Finding Tencent to invest was actually secondary; the main purpose was to leverage its channels and resources, although that was also secondary,"

Xu Jinhuan explained with a smile, "The main reason is that we don't want to be enemies with Tencent. We are alone and outnumbered, so it's better to find a big tree to shelter under."

"Ah."

Xie Wanqing nodded. "So when are you going to the capital?"

"Let's wait a few more days, and once we've finished taking care of these things, we can go."

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "Sister, your Apple TV has been gathering dust for a long time, hasn't it? You can use it next time you go to Beijing."

Xie Wanqing understood what he meant: he had bought a house and a new TV in Beijing, so her TV box could be used now.

Whether or not you watch the movie is not important; what matters is the meaning behind that statement.

"That……"

Xie Wanqing was delighted but also a little worried. After hesitating for a moment, she asked softly, "What about Xingzhu?"

"She watched it too."

Xu Jinhuan chuckled and said, "My sister won't stop her from seeing it, so I'm not going to buy her another one, am I?"

That's not what I meant.

Xie Wanqing gave a slight reproach, but didn't press the matter further, instead changing the subject by asking, "Which service area should we stop at to rest?"

"Let's drive it and see."

Xu Jinhuan was in good condition and drove for more than three hours before stopping to rest. Although there was a seat massage, his back was still sore. He stretched and jumped up as soon as he got out of the car.

Xie Wanqing found it amusing. Seeing that there weren't many people in the service area, she quietly stretched her body and asked, "Are you going to the restroom?"

"Let's go shopping."

Xu Jinhuan wasn't referring to going to the restrooms, but rather to stroll around the service area to see what food was available. She walked over, took Xie Wanqing's hand, and said, "Zhizhi still wants me to bring a gift. Let's see what we have here."

"You brought her a gift at the service area?"

Xie Wanqing did not resist. The two of them had already reached this point in their relationship, so holding hands was naturally nothing, especially since they were in another city and no one knew them.

The two strolled around for a bit, bought nothing, each went to the restroom, and then got back on the bus.

Perhaps because the highway wasn't toll-free, the journey was smooth this time. Xie Wanqing drove for a short distance, then stopped at a service area for a quick lunch. After that, Xu Jinhuan took over driving again, and they arrived in Hangzhou around 2 PM.

I called Kong Wenbo when I set off in the morning. The two of us didn't delay. We rested briefly in downtown Hangzhou, bought two cups of milk tea, and drove straight to the studio.

The studio expanded before the Spring Festival, moving to a new, larger office in the same park, and now has nearly twenty employees.

"Hello, Mr. Xu!"

Kong Wenbo came down to greet the person as usual, and brought a new face with him. He led him to the new office and introduced him again. A group of employees curiously looked at this legendary boss who had just finished the college entrance examination and greeted him in different ways.

Well, at least it shows that there was no prior rehearsal and that they weren't engaging in formalism.

"Sister, please sit here."

Xie Wanqing's public identity remains that of an assistant. Xu Jinhuan occupied an office and then began to "single" invite a few core employees over for a chat.

"Single" means that the employee came to chat with General Manager Xu and Assistant Xie individually.

Xie Wanqing listened from the side and found it a bit strange. Xu Jinhuan talked about a wide range of topics, not just work, but also family, love life, and even hobbies.

"I rarely come all this way, so if I'm just chatting with them, anyone with half a brain knows what I'm doing, so they must really value it."

As she was leaving in the evening, she asked out of curiosity, and Xu Jinhuan explained with a smile, "Besides, these people are all quite capable at work. To see if they have any potential for development, you mainly need to see where their minds are. Some have no room for improvement, some might leave if you train them, and some have ulterior motives... How can you easily tell these things? Just chat casually, the more relaxed you are, the more likely they are to tell the truth."

Xie Wanqing asked, "Can we determine that just by doing that?"

"Can't."

Xu Jinhuan answered confidently, and seeing Xie Wanqing roll her eyes, she laughed and said, "The main thing is that I didn't prepare any notes either, so I didn't know what to talk about."

"whispering sound!"

Xu Jinhuan wanted to try to persuade Kong Wenbo to go to Beijing with him, so he invited him to dinner that evening, along with Kong Wenbo's girlfriend.

"This is my girlfriend, Li Wenbei."

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Kong Wenbo introduced them. Li Wenbei, who was short and pretty, looked quite young and greeted them shyly, "Hello, Mr. Xu, hello, sister." "Hello, sister-in-law."

Xu Jinhuan was a little curious. After sitting down and ordering, he asked, "Is your sister-in-law studying or working?"

Li Wenbei hesitated for a moment, then looked at Kong Wenbo. Kong Wenbo was clearly a little embarrassed and explained with a smile, "She's still in school."

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "I knew you looked so young."

Xie Wanqing asked curiously, "What grade are you in?"

Li Wenbei said, "I'm a junior now."

"what?"

Xie Wanqing was a little surprised. She looked at Kong Wenbo. She had heard Chen Xingzhu mention him once. Kong Wenbo should be twenty-five or twenty-six years old this year and has been working for several years.

"We met online..."

Seeing that the conversation had started, Li Wenbei didn't hide anything and said, "He came to Hangzhou to work after graduation, and I came to Hangzhou to study, that's how we got together..."

Xie Wanqing asked, "How old were you back then?"

Li Wenbei said, "I just started university."

"An old cow eating young grass!"

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "No wonder my cousin has never mentioned my sister-in-law much... You were already twenty-eight when she was eighteen, weren't you?"

"No, no, I had just graduated at the time."

"That's right, others graduated from high school, while you graduated from college."

"Let's not talk about this anymore,"

Kong Wenbo coughed, steer the conversation away from gossip, "You talked to those guys today, how did it go?"

"It's alright, but I still hope my cousin will go to the capital to help me."

Xu Jinhuan vaguely guessed a possibility and said bluntly, "Does cousin know the biggest difference between staying here and going to the capital?"

Kong Wenbo thought for a moment and asked, "Where?"

"Upper limit".

When a waiter came to serve the food, Xu Jinhuan paused for a moment, then said calmly, "My cousin knows what I'm going to do next, so he should be able to guess that if this game is successful, Subway Surfers' annual revenue might not even match its monthly revenue, and it might only be a few days' worth."

"Parkour will remain in Hangzhou for the time being, but the focus of future development is in Beijing. In other words, even if my cousin works here for ten years, he will still be the head of the Hangzhou branch. If he wants to advance, he must go to Beijing."

Xu Jinhuan picked up a shrimp and said with a smile, "Whether it's ten years later, five years later, or three years later, it's still the same choice for my cousin. The difference is that the later it is, the more people there will be in the capital, and the smaller my cousin's advantage will be."

Kong Wenbo was silent for a few seconds. Li Wenbei looked at him, seemed to have mentally prepared herself, and then said, "I also think we should go."

It seemed that Kong Wenbo hadn't mentioned these things to her before. Xu Jinhuan smiled and asked, "Cousin, is it because your wife is studying here that you don't want to go?"

Kong Wenbo said, "That's partly true, but mainly it's because I don't like change and I'm used to things here."

"It's not far... well, it does seem a bit far, but it doesn't take long by plane."

Xu Jinhuan couldn't directly say, "Anyone who gives up their career for love is an idiot," so she advised tactfully, "Your cousin's better career development is also for the sake of your future. This way, he can provide you with better living conditions, right, sister-in-law?"

Li Wenbei nodded and said, "I've never been to the capital before. If you go, I can visit you there... Isn't the holiday coming up soon?"

Xie Wanqing seemed to be thinking about something. First, she secretly glanced at the two of them with a hint of gossip, and then she looked at Xu Jinhuan, her face clearly turning a little red.

Fortunately, it wasn't too noticeable under the warm lighting, and no one else noticed. She tried to cover it up a bit and said, "It's only for a year. Once Wenbei graduates or takes the postgraduate entrance exam next year, she can go to Beijing too..."

"I'll think about it some more and give you an answer tomorrow."

Kong Wenbo sighed, and Xu Jinhuan agreed without trying to persuade him further.

Have you booked your accommodation yet?

After finishing their meal, Kong Wenbo paid the bill first, then asked, "Want to go for a walk along the river?"

"I booked a hotel online, but I haven't gone there yet."

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "My sister and I will go shopping by ourselves. My cousin can accompany my sister-in-law. I'm waiting for you to come to a decision."

"Ok."

Kong Wenbo didn't insist and said goodbye to Xu Jinhuan in the garage.

"Let's go."

Xu Jinhuan didn't drink. She got into the car with Xie Wanqing and asked with a smile, "Sister, are you planning to do some shopping, or go straight to the hotel?" (End of Chapter)
