Chapter 10: The Graduation Banquet - Xie Qiang and Yang Guanjun

Chapter 10: The Graduation Banquet - Xie Qiang and Yang Guanjun
Midway through, Yang Muye went out to the town bank and transferred 100,000 yuan to Ma Qiushan.

"Goose" may not be made, but "Sheep" developed for the Kaixin.com platform must be put on the agenda immediately.

After "Niu Le Ge Niu" became popular on Renren.com, it was launched on Kaixin.com at lightning speed, giving no opportunity for competitors to copy or imitate it.

Once both games have captured a significant user base, they can be packaged together and sold to Tencent.

We sell both high and low prices.

If we don't sell, we'll be taken advantage of, and we'll lose even more money.

When Yang Muyi returned, he saw that the two internet cafe managers were standing behind Xie Zhiyao, giving him advice.

In the end, even three heads are not enough, and the second level was still not cleared.

Xie Zhiyao was clearly addicted. Even when Yang Muye told him to get off the plane, he refused to leave, determined to get past the second level.

Finally, having no other choice, Yang Muye had a test account set up on the top of Maqiu Mountain, which temporarily stopped Xie Zhiyao's "internet addiction".

On the way back to Yunmiao Village, Xie Zhiyao was still thinking about how to pass the level.

Seeing that Xie Zhiyao was getting a little carried away, Yang Muye had no choice but to nudge him:

"Have you ever considered that the developers never intended for you to pass this level in the first place?"

"If you can't let people complete the game, what's the point of developing it? To torture people? To mess with their mentality?"

Xie Zhiyao seemed to be quite "poisoned," and almost couldn't distinguish between good and bad words.

Considering they grew up together, Yang Muye didn't mind revealing some inside information in advance:
"This game was developed by a friend of mine. It will be launched on Renren.com in a while. The second level will not be infinitely restartable. You will have to pay for it. You know Renren Beans, right? They are like QQ coins. One yuan can get you 3 chances to retry. You can buy a maximum of 9 chances to retry per day."

"Is this a rip-off?" Xie Zhiyao replied subconsciously.

Yang Muyi thought Xie Zhiyao had "come to his senses," but he was immediately proven wrong.

"Makino, aren't nine chances to retry every day a bit too few?"

Yang Muye glanced at Xie Zhiyao.

That's it, this is hopeless.

The next day, Xie Siping held a banquet for Xie Zhiyao to celebrate his college entrance exam in Yunmiao Village, so Xie Zhiyao didn't have a chance to go online.

Yang Muye didn't go either; he went to the ancient city and bought two thousand lottery tickets.

I also withdrew 10,000 yuan and gave it to them as a big red envelope.

When they returned to Yunmiao Village, the graduation banquet had already begun.

Xie Zhiyao was dragged around by Xie Siping to toast relatives and friends. Yang Muyi seized an opportunity to go over and stuff a red envelope into Xie Siping's hand.

At first, Xie Siping refused to accept the money, saying that the red envelope contained such a thick wad of cash and that this "favor" was too generous.

Finally, Yang Muye brought up his father, Yang Deyuan, and persuaded Xie Siping to accept the gift.

"Muye, when is your father coming back?"

"I'll be back on the 20th of this month and leave on the 24th."

"Are you planning to stay for two days?"

"Yes, we brought our whole family here; it's like a vacation."

"Then your mother—"

Before Xie Siping could finish speaking, Xie Zhiyao tugged at his clothes.

"Alright, alright, I won't ask anymore. Makino, find a table and sit down. Uncle will talk to you later."

After saying that, Xie Siping turned around to greet the other guests.

Xie Zhiyao led Yang Muye inside, apologizing to him along the way and complaining that Xie Siping shouldn't have inquired about Yang Muye's parents' return.

“I’ve already told you. My mother is coming back this time too. The timing is the same as my father’s. Both of them will spend two days in the old town first, and then have a meal together at the end.”

"Are you sure you'll be okay going alone?" Xie Zhiyao asked, somewhat worried.

"How come it's just one person? My grandfather and uncle both went."

Hearing Yang Muye say that, Xie Zhiyao felt relieved and led Yang Muye to an empty table with seats available.

It just so happens that everyone at the table is an acquaintance. Two childhood friends, Yang Guanjun and Xie Qiang.

There are also their parents.

Since failing the college entrance examination, Yang Guanjun and Xie Qiang have not visited Yang Muye much.

To put it bluntly, it's just low self-esteem.

Yang Guanjun is doing a little better. He went to high school just to get a diploma, and now he has achieved his goal.

The main problem is that Xie Qiang is feeling uneasy and has been staying at home lately, refusing to go out.

As soon as Yang Muye sat down, Xie Qiang's mother, Aunt Feng, asked Yang Muye to persuade Xie Qiang to repeat a year of high school.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Qiang said, "Mom, stop talking. I'm not going to repeat a year."

Yang Guanjun, who was standing to the side, secretly gave Yang Muye a wink.

He had just been asked by Aunt Feng to persuade Xie Qiang, and he had tried, but this was Xie Qiang's reaction.

Yang Muye said, "Aunt Feng, if Aqiang really doesn't want to repeat a year, don't force him. When my father comes back, I'll talk to him and let Aqiang go work in his factory in Shenzhen for a few years. It's hard to say whether he can learn any skills, but at least he can broaden his horizons."

After saying that, he silently added a sentence in his mind.

It's better than staying in Dali and being imprisoned a few years later for stealing and selling warehouse supplies.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Feng was overjoyed.

They called Xie Qiang's father and Uncle Achang together and thanked Yang Muye profusely.

Although Xie Qiang didn't speak, he didn't object as strongly as before.

Seeing that Xie Qiang had found a place to go, Yang Guanjun's parents couldn't sit still any longer. They exchanged a glance, and Yang Guanjun's mother, Aunt E, said, "Muye, why don't you ask your father if we can send our Guanjun over there too, so he can broaden his horizons?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Guanjun abruptly raised his head.

We were talking about Xie Qiang, how did we end up bringing him up again?

"Mom, I—"

"Shut up!"

Aunt E glared fiercely at Yang Guanjun, then looked at Yang Muye with a hopeful yet slightly ingratiating expression.

Yang Muye didn't say anything, but first glanced at Yang Guanjun.

Under the watchful eyes of his parents, Yang Guanjun dared not utter a sound.

Seeing this, Yang Muyi knew that Yang Guanjun would definitely listen to his parents.

"Sure, I remember the champion is a pretty good cook. How about I talk to my mom and see if there are any suitable positions at her chain restaurant?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt E clapped her hands happily.

"Okay, I haven't seen your mother for many years. When is she coming back—"

Cough!

Yang Guanjun and his father lowered their heads and spoke up to remind Aunt E.

Aunt E's expression changed, and she was about to apologize to Yang Muye.

Yang Muye spoke first: "It's okay, my parents will be back in a few days anyway, I'll tell them then."

Now it was the turn of Yang Guanjun and Xie Qiang's families to be surprised.

Aunt Feng hesitated before asking, "Mu Ye, have you decided whether to stay with your father or your mother?"

"It's decided, I'm not going to go with anyone. I called them all back this time to make this clear."

Yang Muye answered calmly.

Aunt Feng hesitated, and Aunt E opened her mouth and then closed it again. For a moment, no one knew what to say.

Finally, Yang Muyi took the lead and picked up his chopsticks.
