Rebirth Must Be Happy
Chapter 372 [361] I've Been Kept
Chen Xingzhu blinked, looking puzzled: "What hidden meaning?"
Xu Jinhuan shook his head and smiled, "It's nothing, I was overthinking it."
Regardless of whether there's a hidden meaning, you shouldn't bring this up on your own initiative.
However, he still felt something was off. He turned to look at the milk tea shop by the roadside and saw Chen Xingruo walking over with milk tea. Suddenly realizing something, he turned to Chen Xingzhu and asked, "My dear...no,"
He swallowed the words he was about to say and phrased it differently: "You should have already gone downstairs by then, right? Well..."
He looked Chen Xingzhu up and down: "Did you sense anything at the time?"
"It does not matter!"
Chen Xingzhu blushed and said coquettishly, "Why are you asking this?"
"Looks like she's pregnant?"
Xu Jinhuan breathed a sigh of relief. If Chen Xingzhu had been closer at the time, and had sensed something unusual because of Chen Xingruo's physical and psychological changes, and then discovered something was wrong after further observation, that would have been quite reasonable.
If it's really just speculation, then that's a bit scary.
What's frightening isn't her observation or reasoning abilities, but rather that if that's the case, it means she might have already worried about similar things, otherwise why would she be so sensitive?
After all, Chen Xingruo's acting skills were quite good, and Xu Jinhuan himself didn't notice any flaws at the time.
If Chen Xingzhu has similar concerns about his younger sister, what about Xie Wanqing?
Is she really as calm and indifferent as she appears?
Who knows what kind of trap is waiting for you behind the scenes!
"Xingruo is here, you're not allowed to talk anymore."
Chen Xingzhu did not answer his question. Yesterday, when Chen Xingruo wanted to come along, she deliberately did not wait for her sister, precisely because she was worried that this situation might occur.
If Chen Xingruo were present, Xu Jinhuan would most likely be able to restrain himself from doing anything. But what if the current situation occurs, and his sister goes shopping or does something, and Xu Jinhuan does something to himself, and his sister senses it?
It's so embarrassing to even think about!
Moreover, this is only a relatively superficial interaction; what if it goes on in the future...
That would be even more awkward!
She warned in a low voice, "Don't let her know I know, or it will be too embarrassing."
"Uh-huh!"
Xu Jinhuan nodded. Of course, he didn't want to bring it up either, but then a thought suddenly struck him, and he chuckled, "Beautiful lady, you don't want your sister to know you know about this, do you?"
? ?
Chen Xingzhu glared at him fiercely, ignoring him. She was already used to his occasional strange, almost manic behavior.
"It's so hot! You two don't even know how to help. It's like the young master and mistress are ordering the maids around."
Chen Xingruo got into the car, even opening the door herself, and then complained while serving milk tea, "I'm clearly the young lady, okay? You two audacious servants, how dare you bully your master..."
Xu Jinhuan didn't bother arguing with her; after all, she had done the work, so it was understandable for her to be a little arrogant.
Office buildings in Zhongguancun are generally quite expensive. At this time, the price of a Grade A office building is already 7 or 8 yuan per square meter, and the monthly rent for a 50-square-meter office is more than 10,000 yuan.
Xu Jinhuan didn't rely on this to save face, so she basically ruled it out. Seeing that it was already noon, she led the two sisters to eat at a nearby restaurant.
To save time, he chose fast food. Chen Xingruo didn't complain, but while eating her hamburger, she muttered under her breath, "My sister and I have faces that are worth millions. Together we're worth almost a billion, and you're making us eat hamburgers... I despise you!"
This was a bit ambiguous, especially considering the embarrassing incident that had just happened that morning. Chen Xingzhu couldn't help but feel annoyed and scolded, "Speak properly, don't talk nonsense all the time, you never think before you speak..."
"Oh, I was just making fun of him."
Chen Xingruo gave a fawning smile and said, "Hey, sis, don't you think it's pretty fun? It feels like you're starting a business just like us..."
She then sighed and said, "It's a pity that once The Voice of China airs next month, I'll become a public figure and won't be able to spend time with you guys like this anymore... No, sister, you'll also become famous because of it, so neither of us can accompany him for a stroll like this anymore."
She reached out and patted her sister's shoulder, sighing earnestly, "I'm sorry as your younger sister, but there's nothing I can do. I also have my own ideals and needs, so I have to make you suffer."
Chen Xingzhu found these words even stranger and gave her a reproachful look: "Then hurry up and eat, and enjoy your last moments of freedom after you finish eating."
After waiting for her to finish her rambling, Xu Jinhuan said while munching on fried chicken, "Perfect timing, since I have some free time now, let me talk to you about the shares."
Chen Xingzhu shook her head and said, "You can decide for yourself."
"You think something worth tens of millions is a joke?"
Xu Jinhuan chuckled and said, "Besides, your dad wouldn't agree anyway. Here's what I'm thinking: right now, the shares are 85% for me, 10% for Yang Ge, and 5% for my cousin. It's just the three of us. Consider this an investment. No matter how much you invest, you'll get 30%. After that, I'll have 59.5%, Yang Ge will have 7%, and my cousin will have 3.5%. This investment doesn't include 'Flappy Bird,' is that okay?"
"Hmm." Chen Xingzhu nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I don't need that many."
"No need to rush, let's see what Tencent says later."
Xu Jinhuan thought for a moment and then told her the truth: "I guess Tencent will reduce your shares. I am the founder, so in order to ensure my enthusiasm, they will not reduce my shares. They will most likely reduce the shares of my cousin, Yang Ge, and you, especially yours."
"why?"
The two sisters looked at her curiously. Chen Xingzhu knew her younger sister would ask, so she didn't say anything, but since their voices were the same, it was as if they were speaking in unison.
"Because of your dad. Although he doesn't have the same deep background and financial resources as Tencent, he still has a lot of capital and can keep Tencent in check."
Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "Actually, even if Xingzhu hadn't said anything, I originally wanted to bring you in anyway, to use your father's connections to negotiate a better price with Tencent."
Chen Xingzhu asked, "And then?"
"That's it. Tencent has plenty of money, but if they see potential in this game, they'll definitely try to gain control. Of course, I won't give it up, but there will definitely be a lot of wrangling."
Xu Jinhuan reminded him, "Just treat this as an investment. Anyway, it's under Zhizhi's name. I'll gradually shift my focus to other things in the future. In short, our goal is clear: to make as much money as possible."
"It's just about selling shares and getting more money, why all the fuss..."
Chen Xingruo pouted and muttered softly, "I'll tell Zhizhi what you said later."
After what happened this morning, she now dislikes Xu Jinhuan even more. He got such a big advantage for nothing!
She herself didn't know what it felt like to kiss herself, but she wanted to try it, though her sister wouldn't let her.
As a result, Xu Jinhuan actually benefited...
Besides, he's a man, so whether it's kissing or hugging, it's definitely more enjoyable and comfortable than hugging his own sister...
This made her feel even worse!
Chen Xingzhu nodded and then asked, "How much should I invest?"
"Don't use too much, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to your father,"
Xu Jinhuan considered it for a moment, "This is considered an angel round, a few million is enough as a token amount, it's like seed money. I'll talk to your dad about the specifics tonight."
"Ah."
After finishing their fried chicken, the three set off again, this time finding more affordable options, mostly costing between 3 and 5 yuan.
After comparing several options, Xu Jinhuan preferred a two-story loft apartment near Renmin University. The building area was 80 square meters, but the actual area was over 120 square meters. The rent, including property management fees, was only 4.2 yuan per square meter, which was 10,000 yuan per month. It was considered to be quite cost-effective.
After a long day of running around, they were all a bit tired. Xu Jinhuan asked for their opinions and decided not to take them back, but instead went to the hotel.
The receptionist on duty remembered Chen Xingzhu and, seeing that they had become twins this time, followed Xu Jinhuan back to their room. She maintained a professional smile, but her eyes couldn't help but keep staring at the three of them as they entered the elevator.
"No one will have any ulterior motives, right?"
Chen Xingruo muttered to herself in the elevator, "If someone takes a picture, and I become famous later, will people spread rumors online saying that I'm being kept by a sugar daddy or something... ah!"
Chen Xingzhu glared at her: "Shut up!"
"嘁~"
Chen Xingruo haughtily raised her chin, highlighting her long neck, "I'll save you some face in front of your boyfriend... Sis, aren't you ashamed now?"
Chen Xingzhu said, "I've already finished the college entrance exam, so I'm not in a relationship anymore. Why should I be shy?"
"Then why are you blushing?"
Chen Xingruo playfully poked her sister's cheek with her finger, but Chen Xingzhu slapped it away and asked, "Has he confessed to you?"
Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "How about I confess my feelings to you right now?"
"I don't care about it."
Chen Xingruo rolled her eyes, then couldn't help but ask, "How did you confess your feelings?"
She then explained, "I'm not gossiping, I'm just gathering material for my novel... Has my sister told you about the novel I'm planning?" (End of Chapter)
