Rebirth begins with picking up a cold and aloof school beauty

Hearing her mother say that, Xia Yu instantly sobered up.

She shook her head repeatedly, clarifying, "No, no, absolutely not."

"Mom, please let me explain. Chen Zhou and I really don't live together."

"I just dropped by for a visit."

"real."

"And Chen Zhou isn't home."

At this moment, Xu Lele also emerged from room 402.

She quickly replied, "Yes, yes, Aunt Rong, I can testify!"

"They really only visit each other occasionally; they absolutely do not live together!"

"And with me here, don't worry, they didn't do anything!"

Seeing how seriously they were talking, Gao Rong was still somewhat skeptical.

But in the end, I chose to believe.

At this moment, Gao Rong noticed that Xia Yu was holding two bank cards.

Gao Rong asked, "Little Fish, did you give all the money to Chen Zhou?"

Xia Yu shook her head and explained, "No, I originally intended to give it to Chen Zhou, but he didn't want it."

Gao Rong was taken aback. "You don't want it?"

Xia Yu softly hummed in agreement.

Gao Rong asked suspiciously, "Little Fish, didn't you tell him how much money was inside?"

"I did tell him, but Chen Zhou still doesn't want to," Xia Xiaomiao explained, then added, "Well, he meant, not for now."

Hearing this, Gao Rong found it incredible!

These two bank cards contain a staggering 600 million yuan.

Many families could never earn that much money in their entire lives.

How could Chen Zhou resist such a huge temptation?

This child has incredible self-control!

Gao Rong looked at Chen Zhou with renewed respect.

She was very pleased!

At the same time, she felt that Chen Zhou was able to resist such a huge financial temptation.

They will surely be able to resist the temptation of the little fish!

Stick to the bottom line with Little Fish!

Gao Rong was amazed in her heart. No wonder he was the boy Xiao Yu'er had liked since childhood!

Gao Rong smiled and praised, "Not bad, Xiaoyuer, your boyfriend has ambition!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Yu's cheeks flushed instantly, but she still nodded shyly, "Mmm!"

In Xia Xiaomiao's heart, her Chen Zhou will always be the best!

The best!

·

Two days later in the blink of an eye.

Chen Zhou spent almost the entire past two days in rural towns in Guangdu District.

Even though it's in Chengdu, the capital city of Sichuan province.

However, conditions in the rural areas of Guangdu District in 2008 were not very good.

Guangdu District has another name, Erhe District.

Previously, it was just a suburban county, not even a district, and was called Erhe County.

There is a well-known local saying.

"The outskirts of Chengdu are Wenjiang and Pixian, and beggars come from Erhe County."

I escaped two days of hardship in the countryside.

Wednesday afternoon.

Chen Zhou finally returned to the city and went straight to Fish Boat Game Technology Company.

But as soon as they arrived at the company entrance, Luo Fei rushed out of the company happily.

"Brother Zhou, you're finally back!"

Chen Zhou asked in confusion, "What's wrong? You seem very happy."

Luo Fei laughed and said, "Of course I'm happy!"

"Brother Zhou, I have great news for you! Our Fruit Ninja mobile game is a hit!"

Chen Zhou's eyes lit up. "Really? How popular is it?"

Luo Fei excitedly gestured with his hands while reporting his results.

"On the first day, the day you left, we had over 1500 downloads in 24 hours, and over 2000 yuan in revenue."

"But on the second day, our 24-hour downloads reached more than 4000, and our daily revenue from top-ups quickly reached more than 7000 yuan."

"In less than 15 hours, the daily download count has already surpassed 7000!"

"Guess how much our real-time turnover is today?"

"More than 15,000 yuan!"

"These figures only represent in-app purchases; they don't include Google's revenue!"

"If we include Google's revenue, today's single-day revenue will easily surpass NT$20,000! Reaching NT$30,000 in daily revenue is not impossible!"

Chen Zhou: "…………"

No, how come there's only this little bit?

It's been officially online for three days, and the daily revenue is only 3 yuan?

Damn, this is far below my expectations!

It should at least double, right?

After recounting the company's data, Luo Fei looked at Chen Zhou with admiration.

"Brother Zhou, you're amazing!"

"I even said before that the Panda Media next door wasn't good at doing promotions for us."

"As a result, half of the traffic to our Fruit Ninja game came from other people."

"You have a really good eye for people!!"

Chen Zhou: …………

He was even more speechless now.

This was achieved despite the fact that they had put in a lot of effort to promote it.

What if we don't have that? Wouldn't that be even worse?

Chen Zhou pondered, "Something must have gone wrong!"

He said, "Come on, let's go inside the company. I need to see what the problem is!"

Luo Fei said, "Okay!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately realized something was wrong. "Huh? Brother Zhou, what did you just say? Is something wrong?"

"What went wrong?" Luo Fei asked, completely bewildered.

Chen Zhou ignored him and went straight into the company, heading directly to the office area.

He said with a serious expression, "Show me the backend data."

Then, a programmer immediately adjusted the data for him.

Chen Zhou leaned forward, one hand on the table and the other on his waist, staring at the computer screen.

He quickly understood everything!

There is nothing wrong with the game itself.

There were no problems with promotion.

The only problem is that there are too few game users on iOS!

The total number of downloads, total revenue, and total GG income contributed in the past few days almost all came from the Android platform, accounting for more than 90%.

On the iOS side, the percentage is ridiculously low!

It's like the fact that Fruit Ninja isn't available on the App Store!

Chen Zhou wondered if it was because the adoption rate of iPhone 3G phones was not high enough at present.

But no matter what, it's still bigger than the current Android phone market!

Has it not been exposed?

With this question in mind, Chen Zhou immediately returned to his office on the second floor.

Seeing Chen Zhou's sullen appearance.

Everyone in the company was completely dumbfounded.

Ren Junshuang asked, "What's going on? Why isn't President Chen happy that we're making money?"

Yu Xiu was also puzzled and asked, full of doubt, "On the first day, the data was ridiculously bad, but President Chen was still cheerful. Now that the daily turnover has exceeded 15,000, and today's total daily revenue may even reach 30,000, why has he become so worried?"

One of the programmers did the math and said, "Let's calculate based on a daily turnover of 3. That's 90 a month, and 1000 million a year is no problem."

"Even with a 50% net profit margin, there should be at least 500 million in profit a year, right?"

"Our first startup project, with an investment of less than 50 yuan, can earn a net profit of 500 million yuan a year. Doesn't Mr. Chen think that's enough?"

"Isn't he being too greedy?"

Another programmer remarked, "That's definitely too greedy!"

Luo Fei shook his head and analyzed seriously, "No, no, no, you're all wrong!"

"An outstanding entrepreneur like my brother Zhou, the more successful he becomes, the more he pushes himself!"

"That's not greed, that's ambition!"

"You guys are just too narrow-minded! You need to broaden your horizons and improve your knowledge in the future."

Luo Fei spoke with great conviction and made perfect sense.

Upon hearing this, the four of them realized they had been completely misled and actually found it quite reasonable.

Afterwards, in the chairman's office on the second floor.

After analyzing the data, Chen Zhou almost determined the root cause of the lower-than-expected returns.

That means their own mobile games haven't really made a push on the iOS platform yet.

It would be great if I could get a game recommendation on the homepage!

"The question is, how do I get this recommendation?"

"I don't know Jobs at all, no, I mean he doesn't know me."

Chen Zhou sighed, then said helplessly, "Forget it, let's wait until the national finals are over, get the guaranteed admission to Tsinghua or Peking University, and then come back and talk about it."

Having made up his mind, Chen Zhou returned home that evening.

I brought Xia Xiaomiao some late-night snacks.

Chen Zhou was alone at home, recalling the questions from this year's national finals competition.

Fortunately, I still remember every single question clearly.

I remember every single answer clearly.

This time, it's a sure thing!

Then, just a few minutes after evening self-study ended at school.

There was a knock on Chen Zhou's door.

Chen Zhou knew without guessing that Xia Xiaomiao must have rushed back impatiently.

He opened the door and saw that it was indeed the case!

"Xia Xiaomiao, long time no see."

Chen Zhou looked at Xia Yu's flawless face, which was covered in fine sweat and she was breathing heavily. He was deeply moved and his eyes were full of doting affection.

Xia Yu happily rushed into Chen Zhou's arms and gently hugged him.

"Chen Zhou~"

I miss you so much.

Xia Xiaomiao felt a little wronged.

Chen Zhou knew that the little girl must be missing him terribly after not seeing him for two days.

After all, couples in the throes of new love will feel like they've missed each other terribly if they don't see each other for even a day!

Chen Zhou smiled and said, "Xia Xiaomiao, I miss you too."

"I brought you some delicious late-night snacks when I came back today."

"The kind you like, barbecue, and iced cola."

Xia Yu smiled happily, "Really?"

Chen Zhou nodded. "Of course it's true!"

Xia Yu twitched her beautiful nose and sniffed the fragrance wafting from the living room.

She swallowed hard. "Wow, it smells so good!"

Chen Zhou laughed and said, "Alright, alright, let's go inside."

He led his girlfriend into the house, leaving the door open.

Before long, Xu Lele smelled the aroma and ran straight into the house.

Xu Lele exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! They even have barbecue?"

"I like!"

Xu Lele didn't stand on ceremony at all and sat down on the sofa next to the coffee table.

I picked up the fragrant meat skewers and started eating.

Although Xu Lele is a petite girl who is 155cm tall, when she eats, she gives the impression of eating meat in big bites and drinking alcohol in big gulps.

In contrast, although Xia Xiaomiao is also a little glutton, she is much more refined when she eats.

And they are quite considerate.

"Chen Zhou~, have some too~"

"It's really, really delicious."

Chen Zhou, who was in his first relationship, was completely unable to resist such a gentle embrace.

To be honest, he couldn't wait to take Xia Xiaomiao to Beidu with him tomorrow.

Of course, Chen Zhou was just thinking about it.

He ate his skewers while chatting idly with the two of them.

It encompasses everything: learning, school, competition, company...

After eating and drinking to one's heart's content.

Since he was obligated to accept food and gifts, Xu Lele decided to stop being a third wheel.

"You two can chat for a while, I'm going back to take a shower and go to bed."

"Bye-bye!" Xu Lele quickly went back to the next room.

They also brought the door along with it.

For a moment, only Chen Zhou and Xia Yu remained in the room.

Perhaps because of this, or perhaps because of Xu Lele's earlier use of the term "young couple," Xia Yu's cheeks flushed slightly, and her heart raced.

Chen Zhou was in a great mood seeing how adorable Xia Xiaomiao was.

He pinched her stunningly beautiful face.

Gently scrape the tip of her delicate and upturned nose.

He teased her a little.

But soon, Chen Zhou felt a wave of distress and couldn't help but frown.

Xia Yu asked curiously, "Chen Zhou, what's wrong?"

"Is something bothering you?"

"Is this a company matter?"

Chen Zhou began, "The company's data is indeed not ideal."

"As I said before, the Android version is okay, but the iOS version's data is terrible."

"However, it's nothing serious. I think there's always a way to solve it."

Xia Yu was even more puzzled and asked with concern, "Then what are you unhappy about?"

Chen Zhou looked tenderly into Xia Yu's eyes, "I'm not happy, of course, because we've only just gotten together and we're about to break up again."

Xia Yu pursed her red lips, secretly pleased.

"Chen Zhou~"

"You mean you're going to Beidu to participate in the competition?"

Chen Zhou nodded. "Yes, it will take at least four days."

"It's been a few days since we last saw each other, and I'm afraid I'll miss you so much that I'll get lovesick."

Chen Zhou teased Xia Xiaomiao.

but!

To his utter surprise, Xia Xiaomiao smiled happily.

Chen Zhou: ?

He asked in confusion, "No, Xia Xiaomiao, it seems like I'm leaving you, and you're actually quite happy about it?"

Xia Yu giggled and said, "No, that's not true."

"If my Chen Zhou left me, I would be too heartbroken to even think about it."

Chen Zhou asked, "Then what were you laughing about just now? And why were you so happy?"

"I'm not happy." Chen Zhou deliberately pretended to be a little unhappy.

She's even a little arrogant!

Who says boys can't be proud and aloof? They can't be coaxed by girls?

Xia Yu playfully shook Chen Zhou's wrist.

"Chen Zhou~"

"Don't be upset, okay?"

"I have some news for you: let's go to the airport together tomorrow."

Xia Xiaomiao coaxed Chen Zhou, who was acting against the Heavenly Gang.

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhou was in a great mood, but also had some doubts.

"Going to the airport together? Are you going to see me off?"

Xia Yu swayed her ponytail, "No~"

She said happily, "I signed up for the Tsinghua-Peking University study tour program in the district."

"I want to go to Beidu with you."

"Five days! We can spend five days together in Hokuto."

Hearing Xia Yu's explanation, Chen Zhou suddenly understood!

That's it!

Chen Zhou couldn't hide his smile. "Xia Xiaomiao, you've given me a wonderful surprise!"

Xia Yu asked, "Do you...like it?"

Chen Zhou raised an eyebrow and asked teasingly, "What do you like? You? Or this surprise?"

Xia Yu blushed and was about to answer when Chen Zhou said, "Anyway, I like them all!"

Hearing this, Xia Yu smiled happily and snuggled closer to Chen Zhou.

She nestled her head against Chen Zhou's chest, nuzzling him affectionately like a kitten.

"Chen Zhou~"

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to call your name~, I like it."

Chen Zhou looked at Xia Xiaomiao in his arms with doting eyes and asked, "Do you like calling me that?"

Xia Yuzi shook her head against Chen Zhou's chest.

"No~"

"I like them all~"
