Internet moguls are being held hostage by the entertainment system!

Chapter 259 Even the Big Shots Are Just Ordinary People
"...Based on Meituan's current valuation, your Mobike shares could be exchanged for approximately 1.2%."

Wang Xin typed on his computer keyboard and gave what he considered to be a relatively reasonable replacement ratio.

This number was almost exactly what Chen Xiu had envisioned: "OK, we'll work on the specifics later."

"Okay! Based on your choice, can I guess that you don't think Mobike can win this bike-sharing competition?"

Wang Xin took his hand off the computer and added, "Just have a simple chat, don't overthink it."

"Actually, I just have a better view of Meituan's future."

"Wow, that's a great answer, I'm impressed!"

Wang Xin gave Chen Xiu a thumbs up, his tone much more casual than when they first met.

Seeing that a preliminary agreement had been reached, Chen Xiu glanced at him and was about to get up to say goodbye when she suddenly remembered something else and leaned back in her chair.

"You just said Zhang Yiming had an evaluation of me? What exactly was that evaluation?"

"Did I say that?"

"Never mind, I'll just ask Zhang Yiming."

"Hey, why is it that once we get to know each other, you can't take a joke anymore?"

Wang Xin raised his hand to stop them, his regretful expression at failing to tease her a stark contrast to his earlier shrewdness and composure.

"One person said that you are an unpredictable person who does things without any fixed routine. You often have unexpected ideas, but the results are quite good, which makes people admire you."

"Such high praise? I've never heard him mention that before."

Chen Xiu looked at Wang Xin with a strange expression, wondering why Zhang Yiming, who was usually so reserved, would speak well of people behind their backs.

Wang Xin smacked his lips: "Tsk, I was quite unconvinced at first, but after getting to know you today, I realized that Yiming's assessment was completely correct."

"Thank you for your recognition. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Chen Xiu stood up awkwardly, feeling that today's experience had been quite eventful.

As he walked to the door and turned the handle, Wang Xin suddenly called out, "Chen Xiu, let's have dinner together after the Internet Conference this year."

"Ok?"

Chen Xiu turned around to look and almost blurted out the words "Dongxin Dinner Party".

However, seeing that Wang Xin didn't seem interested, he realized that this was probably just a simple invitation.

"Sure! Old Zhang will be there too, so let's invite him as well."

"We'll definitely call him."

The two smiled at each other, and Chen Xiu waved her hand without saying goodbye, then pulled open the door and walked out.

After a moment, Wang Xin's assistant pushed the door open and entered again.

Upon seeing the familiar face, Wang Xin also dropped his playful smile when facing Chen Xiu, and said with a slightly serious expression, "Get the car ready, I still need to go back to the company to take care of some things."

"Okay, Mr. Wang, Mr. Chen asked me to pass on a message to him before he left."

"What?"

He said: "That Douyin account has already been maintained, and it would be a bit of a waste to just leave it unused. I hope you can occasionally post a few short videos of your life to keep it popular."

Wang Xin frowned, a thoughtful look on his face, and then chuckled softly.

"Ha, what do you mean by maintaining popularity? You just want me to join Douyin!"

After laughing, he noticed the strange look on his subordinate's face and quickly put on a stern expression: "I've received your message. Go and prepare the car."

"Ok."

After opening and closing the door, Wang Xin went to shut down the computer while thinking to himself: Although I can chat with Wang Huiwen and Mu Rongjun, we still have a working relationship, so we can't chat so freely. Chatting with Chen Xiu is much more fun.

……

Having finalized the share swap agreement, Chen Xiu had no other plans for the day and immediately returned to Qingqin in Xiangshan.

As soon as he entered his home, he felt a wave of warmth wash over him, and immediately realized that the home's temperature and humidity control system had been on for quite some time.

Looking up, orange lights illuminated the path from the front door to the living room, casting a warm glow on the floor tiles. They were clearly turned on by someone. If you listened carefully, you could hear singing coming from the living room.

Chen Xiu closed the heavy door, shutting out the wind, and took two steps toward the living room. Then she heard the singing becoming clearer.

"The sky is the color of rain after a storm, and I am waiting for you..."

"..."

Chen Xiu stood there, lost in thought for a long time, before finally finding her way back to the lyrics.

Listening to another line, I felt like I had just found a place to call home, but now I wasn't so sure anymore, because the tone corresponding to the lyrics was completely wrong.

He was very curious about how the person singing managed to sing every single note so precisely and still make it all logical.
Unable to understand, Chen Xiu quickened his pace, but slowed down when he reached the living room entrance, trying to keep his voice down so as not to interrupt the lark's song.

Upon entering the living room, Chen Xiu glanced at the sofa.

On the long sofa, wearing a bathrobe, barefoot with legs crossed, smiling radiantly, who else could it be but Meng Ziyi?

When Chen Xiu got closer, she realized that she seemed to be holding a white, fluffy thing in her arms...

"Wang Wang!"

Two barks startled Chen Xiu, and also made Meng Ziyi on the sofa stop his soulful singing and pick up the fluffy dog ​​in his arms.

Only then did Chen Xiu realize that the fluffy white thing was actually a Pomeranian. "Chocolate, what's wrong?"

Meng asked in confusion, while the white Pomeranian barked twice.

Having already learned the dog's name, Chen Xiu took two more steps forward, and Chocolate barked at him twice more.

After being reminded three times, Meng Ziyi finally remembered to sit up and turned around to check: "Oh my! Xiu-ge'er, you scared me!"

"You're the one who scared me..."

Why do you walk so quietly?

"It's because your singing is too loud. I was listening at the door and got curious, so I quickly came in to see which famous singer had suddenly arrived."

Chen Xiu chuckled and sat down on the sofa.

Just as she was about to reach out and hug Meng Ziyi, whose cheeks were flushed, the dog she was holding opened its limbs, stuck out its tongue, and showed a posture that looked like it wanted to be hugged.

"This dog?"

"My dog ​​is named Chocolate. Last year, when I saw He Jiong holding a dog on the show 'Back to Field,' I wanted to get one. Chocolate really likes you!"

Meng Ziyi excitedly handed the dog over, and Chen Xiu took it and placed it on her lap, stroking its little head and feeling quite pleased with it.

Seeing Chen Xiu accept the dog son without any resistance, Meng Ziyi chuckled and snuggled into his arms: "Brother Xiu, you like chocolate too, right?"

"It's alright, but I prefer horses."

"..."

Meng Ziyi curled her lip, deeply sensing that there was a mismatch in the matching mechanism for their pet-related topics.

Smelling the perfume of Meng Da Piao Liang in his arms, Chen Xiu stroked the dog with one hand and put his other arm around her slender waist, asking, "Aren't you not coming back until tomorrow? I was all ready to pick you up."

"Hehe, my scenes wrapped up today, so I came back early."

"Then why didn't you send me a message?"

“I just got off the plane and saw you doing a live stream with Wang Xin on Douyin, so I took a taxi back myself.”

When this topic came up, Meng Ziyi also lifted her head from Chen Xiu's chest and looked at him with excited eyes.

"Brother Xiu, did you really go deliver food with that big boss named Wang Xin?"

"No."

"Huh? That's not right! The comments are saying you guys gave it away, and there's even a live stream record to prove it."

“He gave me his gift, and I gave me mine. We calculated our gifts separately; we didn’t give them together.”

Meng Ziyi understood that Chen Xiu was deliberately playing a trick on her, but she didn't care at all. She was only interested in finding out the story behind this absurd game.

"Why would a big boss like Wang Xin deliver food? I see comments on Douyin saying that he owns the entire Meituan company, so why would he go and deliver food? Isn't that just asking for trouble?"

"I don't know if he can handle it, but it's not that strange that he went to deliver food."

Chen Xiu chuckled and leaned back, his hand that had been around Meng Ziyi's slender waist moving backward and downward in response.

Meng Ziyi's gaze followed his movements, and just as she was about to ask another question, her face turned red.

Looking down at the chocolate that was getting in the way, Meng Ziyi bit her lower lip, picked it up, and put it on the ground: "Chocolate, go play somewhere else."

After chasing away the dog, Meng Ziyi chuckled and placed his smooth, shiny legs on Chen Xiu's lap, then curled up in his arms.

“Brother Xiu, continue.”

Looking at her face, which appeared even more radiant under the orange light, Chen Xiu couldn't help but feel a flutter in her heart: "How about we talk about it later?"

"Hmm~~, if you don't tell me, I'll keep thinking about it, and if I don't perform well later, don't blame me."

"Pshaw! As if you could do anything different if you performed well."

"Just tell me first!"

Meng Ziyi twisted her body and said coquettishly.

Feeling her heart rate increase, Chen Xiu placed her hand on Meng Ziyi's waist and said in a faster voice, "Even the biggest boss is still a human being. He eats, drinks, relieves himself, and experiences joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness—he has it all."

“Wang Xin can keep a straight face and be indifferent to those company subordinates. But I’m not much different from him, and our cooperation is limited to investment and does not involve specific work, so he doesn’t need to pretend with me.”

"Delivering food was like an immersive gaming experience for both of us, much like playing video games. It took less than two hours in total, and he gained a lot of fame. Is there a better deal than that?"

Chen Xiu looked at Meng Ziyi with eyes that seemed to spark with fire, wanting to know if she had understood.

Meng Ziyi maintained her smirk, her clear, bright eyes looking back at him: "So, in this game of food delivery, who really won?"

"..."

Chen Xiu stared at her blankly for a long time, and suddenly felt that the heat in his heart seemed to have subsided a bit.

Meeting Meng Ziyi's expectant gaze, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "I won."

"Oh yeah!"

Meng Ziyi raised her hands and cheered, her excited and overjoyed expression exactly the same as her reaction when she learned that Chen Xiu had won money while watching the World Cup with him in the early hours of the morning.

Looking at her profile, which was illuminated by the light, Chen Xiu couldn't help but lean over and kiss her.

Once she realized what was happening, Meng Ziyi instinctively hugged his head, turned around, and sat facing him...
