Rebirth Must Be Happy

Being a man is tough, being a scumbag is tougher, and being a scumbag with a conscience is toughest of all!
Xu Jinhuan sighed inwardly. Although he was objectively certain that he had no designs on Chen Xingruo, he could not deny that sometimes his thoughts would wander and he would uncontrollably have some inappropriate fantasies about this twin sister who looked exactly like Chen Xingzhu, had the same figure, and even had the same temperament at times.

Of course, it could also be called a crooked idea.

However, as the saying goes, actions speak louder than words. Judging from his actions, Xu Jinhuan was certain that he was very honest and had never done anything improper or even misunderstood towards Chen Xingruo.

Well, that time when he kissed Chen Xingruo in front of Chen Xingzhu's house doesn't count. That was an accident caused by Chen Xingruo's own recklessness. From any perspective, he was the victim.

Unfortunately, society is so unfair to boys. If he were to tell anyone, whether in real life or online, people would definitely say that he got the benefit but is still acting innocent.

Even more tragically, he himself felt the same way.

"I'm going to post this on Weibo."

Chen Xingruo took a bunch of photos. She rarely posts family photos, but Chen Xingzhu is an exception, since they look alike. So she also took a photo of the two sisters holding the puppy on the left and right sides in the middle, making up a nine-grid photo before posting it.

"Why do you still have me?"

Xu Jinhuan, who hadn't turned off notifications on Weibo in order to capitalize on the trending topic, received a notification from Chen Xingzhu about her Weibo post and casually contributed to the view count. As a result, she discovered that there was even a photo of herself and Chen Xingzhu hugging a dog in the nine-grid post.

Looking at the comments, sure enough, someone was asking, "Is the person taking a picture with President Xu the older sister or the younger sister?"

Chen Xingruo replied: "Of course it's my older sister!"

Then she replied with a second message: "I'm an older sister too!"

Xu Jinhuan glanced at Chen Xingzhu, and seeing that she didn't express any objection, she pursed her lips and didn't bother to pay attention. Anyway, Chen Xingruo often acted crazy, just like Song Zhiyu, it was normal for her.

"The environment here is quite nice, and the property value should increase in the future."

Yu Peishan, being an elder, didn't play for as long as the three children. Xu Jinhuan brewed a pot of Jin Jun Mei tea, and she and Chen Xingzhu sat together at the coffee table, drinking tea and chatting. "You have quite a good eye for investment."

Xu Jinhuan smiled and said, "I feel much more confident now that Aunt Shan has said that."

"Don't give me that. Xingzhu said that you thought housing prices would continue to rise back in high school."

Yu Peishan smiled and said, "I think so too. I heard from Xingzhu that you bought coins, so I bought some as well, and I've already made almost ten times my initial investment... When do you think would be a good time to sell?"

Xu Jinhuan said, "Uncle and Auntie aren't in a hurry to sell it, so just keep it in your hands."

When he first asked his uncle Song Xiaofeng to help him buy them, they were only two or three dollars each. Later, Song Xiaofeng was impressed by his work "Flappy Bird" and bought a lot of them. By the time Song Zhiyu brought them back from North America, the price had increased four or five times, reaching more than $10.

The past year has been a period of rapid growth, and before New Year's Day, it was already approaching the $100 mark.

Xu Jinhuan knew this thing would fluctuate greatly, but he didn't remember the specific details. Anyway, he was going to hold it for the long term, buying small amounts when it dipped and large amounts when it dipped. If he held it for seven or eight years, he could make a fortune just from this thing.

"Can this price keep rising?"

Even Yu Peishan found it hard to believe, "It's virtual, how can it possibly increase in value?"

"Anyway, your uncle and aunt aren't short of money, so just leave it there and pretend it doesn't exist."

Xu Jinhuan couldn't explain, so she smiled and advised, "Sell it when Xingyu goes to high school or college."

"How many years later would that be?"

Yu Peishan found it increasingly amusing and asked, "What's the trick to driving Xingruo's Land Rover? Do you want to get another one?"

"Sure, I was just a little embarrassed to say it."

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "Then I'll go and get a new car in a few days."

Chen Xingruo and Chen Xingyu were still playing with the dog and didn't notice their conversation, otherwise they would probably have rolled their eyes at him again.

"I looked into it,"

Chen Xingzhu, who seemed uninterested in the topic, refilled his cup with tea and then suddenly said, "Starting a car business is too difficult. If you build your own factory, even tens of billions of yuan might not be enough; if you don't build a factory, you have to find someone else to do the manufacturing, which is very troublesome, and consumers may not trust you."

Yu Peishan smiled and said, "This is indeed quite troublesome. I'm also very curious about what you're thinking."

"I just wanted to give it a try."

Xu Jinhuan couldn't reveal too much, so he could only say in a judgmental tone, "Mainly, I think the new energy vehicle industry will experience a boom, just like the smartphone industry now. You can't do too badly if you're in a hot sector. After all, I'm not waiting for the trend to take off before I jump on it..."

With those successful cases from his previous life as a reference, Xu Jinhuan was still quite confident. "Of course, my main focus right now is to make the game well, make money, and build up some reputation so that I can attract investment later..."

Chen Xingzhu asked, "So you plan to build your own factory?"

"Correct."

Xu Jinhuan nodded, "Don't worry, I'll make a division in advance. Even if it doesn't work out, I can't go bankrupt... But the probability of that is probably very low, I won't gamble."

Chen Xingzhu nodded and said, "Then you should drive other cars for a while. If you can't find one, have Xingruo borrow one from her friend."

"what?"

Upon hearing the key words, Chen Xingruo turned around and asked, "What?"

Yu Peishan smiled and said, "It's nothing."

With final exams approaching, Xie Wanqing was staying at the school, and Xu Jinhuan also frequently went to the school to study. When Chen Xingruo and Chen Xingyu had finished playing and were about to go home, Xu Jinhuan gave Chen Xingzhu a wink, wanting her to stay and keep him company. Unfortunately, the little girl gave him a questioning look, whether intentionally or not.

'They've learned to play dumb!'

Xu Jinhuan secretly made a note of her mistake, and only after they left did she take out her phone to confront them: "You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Chen Xingzhu: "What?"

Xu Jinhuan: "Okay, let's study hard first, and relax together after the exam."

His talk of relaxation was clearly not relaxed at all. Chen Xingzhu was still a little embarrassed about it and didn't reply. Xu Jinhuan then went to find Xie Wanqing again.

"Sister, would you like some late-night snacks?"

"If you want to eat, I'll come find you and we'll go get some late-night snacks together."

Xie Wanqing quickly replied, "No, I'm about to go to sleep."

Xu Jinhuan: "Sigh, it's pitiful that I can't even find someone to have a meal with."

Xie Wanqing: "I'll go there tomorrow morning."

Xu Jinhuan: "Then come earlier."

He also planned to have Xie Wanqing come early so he could relax with her, but unfortunately, Xie Wanqing did come very early the next morning, but refused to come to the bedroom.

"If you don't get up, I'll go and take Xiao Huang downstairs myself."

Xie Wanqing opened the door, holding Xiao Huang's hand, and threatened from outside, "I'll let you stay home by yourself."

"……Fine."

Xu Jinhuan vaguely sensed a change in Sister Xie's attitude, as if she was worried that Sister Xie was too submissive and that she might look down on her.

It could also be that Chen Xingzhu reminded her, lest Xie Wanqing be too compliant, making her seem disobedient...

'Although things are a bit troublesome, my observation skills are still very sharp...' The capital city has heating, so getting up is relatively easier. Xu Jinhuan got dressed, washed up, and then put on his down jacket and went downstairs with Xie Wanqing.

Xiao Huang was also wrapped in a winter coat, which Chen Xingruo had put on it last night. After all, it was still small, and it might be too cold to go downstairs, so Xu Jinhuan didn't stop it.

After strolling around downstairs twice, Xie Wanqing took the dog home first, while Xu Jinhuan went to the breakfast shop to buy some food. After going upstairs, Xie Wanqing also served the pumpkin porridge—which Xu Jinhuan had set up for timed steaming last night.

“It’s quite delicious.”

Xie Wanqing took a picture and posted it in the group chat. Song Zhiyu quickly replied, asking, "Who cooked it?"

Xie Wanqing: "Him."

Song Zhiyu immediately sent Xu Jinhuan a private message: "You've never cooked pumpkin porridge for me."

"..."

Xu Jinhuan felt overwhelmed, but it was all his own fault, so he could only coax her, "I'll cook for you when I go home for the New Year, and I don't have to set a timer."

Song Zhiyu: "You said it, and I took it seriously."

Xu Jinhuan chatted with her for a few more minutes, then put down his phone and saw Xie Wanqing staring at him while eating: "Zhizhi contacted you?"

"You also call yourself Little Zhuge Liang?"

Xu Jinhuan didn't hide anything, and joked with a smile, "You're good at predicting things."

"I knew it right away."

Xie Wanqing rarely had a chance to show off her intelligence, and she was a little smug. "I'm not just good at predicting things, I just know Zhizhi well. She'll definitely be jealous..."

In the past, Xu Jinhuan would have corrected the expression "jealousy" as not being quite accurate, but after what happened at home a few days ago, she felt a bit unsure about correcting it now, so she said, "You knew and still posted it on purpose?"

"I did it on purpose."

Xie Wanqing raised her chin, looking unusually sly, "You deserve it."

"……Ugh."

Xu Jinhuan sighed, looking regretful. "A miscalculation, a miscalculation. I should have been angry, but looking at my sister's face, I just couldn't bring myself to be angry..."

"You just know how to coax me."

Sweet words were quite effective on Xie Wanqing, so Xu Jinhuan increased the dosage, asking with a smile, "Sister, look at me... do you have a map?"

Xie Wanqing asked in confusion, "What map?"

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "I got lost inside my eyes."

Xie Wanqing: "..."

Xu Jinhuan then said, "I'm going to wash the dishes."

Xie Wanqing found it somewhat amusing, but also curious, and couldn't help but ask again, "You haven't finished eating, why are you washing the dishes?"

Xu Jinhuan smiled brightly: "I wish we had met sooner."

"...You're so boring!"

Xie Wanqing was both angry and amused, but judging from her shy yet charming appearance, she was clearly enjoying herself.

"I swam to an island."

"..."

This time, Xie Wanqing refused to cooperate, keeping her head down and eating, ignoring him.

"You have to cooperate."

Xu Jinhuan urged, "Ask quickly."

"..."

Xie Wanqing gave him a reproachful look, but her eyes were gentle as she still cooperated, asking, "What island?"

"I'm head over heels for you."

"boring!"

Xie Wanqing pouted, but her smile was exceptionally sweet and charming. "It doesn't sound good at all."

After breakfast, Xie Wanqing went back to school, while Xu Jinhuan went straight to the company, had a meeting, and then sat at her desk to study for the exam.

He got the review materials directly from the teacher, but it wasn't a leak of exam questions, so he still had to review them carefully. Fortunately, he had a foundation from his previous life, so most of the content wasn't too difficult.

This continued until the 10th, which was also the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month. Schools were basically on holiday, and Xu Jinhuan, who rarely went to school, also attended the end-of-term dinner. Xie Wanqing no longer lived at school and returned to Jianqiaobo House.

As universities gradually begin their summer break, the daily active users of all three games have increased significantly, with "Honor of Kings" showing the largest increase. Online discussions are also rising, and the historical rivalry between "League of Legends" and "Honor of Kings" has resurfaced.

However, thanks to Xu Jinhuan's foresight in this life, even if "Honor of Kings" copied the hero settings in "League of Legends", it only copied the heroes that had not yet been released. Therefore, we can basically not see the situation of directly copying the hero skill settings in "League of Legends" as in the original history. This gives Honor of Kings players unprecedented confidence.

Even because heroes like Sun Wukong, who exist in both games, are clearly better designed in Honor of Kings and more in line with the impressions and imaginations of Chinese people, Honor of Kings players can still bully League of Legends players.

On the contrary, the fact that most of them use domestic historical figures as the setting has garnered considerable support from users online, but it has also attracted a lot of criticism, which is nothing more than "narrow-minded" and "small-minded", and some people even take it in the direction of nationalism.

In this situation, the advantage of having Tencent as a backer becomes apparent. While Tencent was handling public relations, Xu Jinhuan himself was also busy, picking fights on Weibo.

He felt no burden about this, because he was well aware of what would happen after 2018. Coupled with the revival of Hanfu and the oppression of the dominant ethnic group's men by gender antagonism, even if he was criticized harshly now, it would become a badge of honor for Mr. Xu in a few years.

This made Xu Jinhuan's previously suppressed thought even more unbearable: he still really wanted to snatch several dynasties, especially "Han" and "Tang", from BYD.

"I have two naming options here, can you two take a look?"

Taking advantage of the weekend break, when Xie Wanqing and Chen Xingzhu were about to take turns doing their chores, Xu Jinhuan called them both together. Then, he took his tablet and came between them, wiggling his bottom to indicate that they should make room for him, and sat down between them.

"I'm worried that someone might snatch the name I'll be using in the future, so I need to prepare in advance."

Xu Jinhuan opened the mind map on the tablet, "I have prepared two naming systems. The first one uses ancient dynasties. For example, Qin is used to make high-performance electric cars, like Porsche; Han is used to make family sedans, like BMW and Mercedes-Benz; Tang is used to make family SUVs... The company name will be 'Dynasty'."

"Is that so?"

Xie Wanqing and Chen Xingzhu leaned forward slightly to avoid his obstruction, looked at each other, and both frowned. "It feels a bit strange."

Human cognition needs to be regulated. The two of them found it a bit strange that a familiar dynasty name had suddenly become a car name.

However, after thinking about it, Chen Xingzhu quickly agreed, saying, "This idea is actually quite good, because the most important thing in branding is storytelling. The stories inherent in the four characters Qin, Han, Tang, and Ming are richer than any other brand. We can skip this process, especially for Han. We just need to make a good product..."

Xie Wanqing thought for a moment and asked, "What about the second set?"

"The second set is mythology; I can only think of two right now."

Xu Jinhuan scrolled to another image, "The company name is 'Myth,' and the two products are 'Somersault Cloud' and 'Wind and Fire Wheel.' Somersault Cloud is mainly for home use, while Wind and Fire Wheel is mainly for young and trendy people..."

More precisely, 'Somersault Cloud' follows the path of Ideal and Boundary, while 'Wind and Fire Wheel' follows the path of XPeng and Xiaomi. (End of Chapter)
