Rebirth begins with picking up a cold and aloof school beauty

The expected after-tax income is 1200 million yuan, of which nearly 100 million yuan was distributed as bonuses.

There is still a little over 1100 million yuan.

Chen Zhou considered that, first of all, he would definitely need to set aside some money to pay off his family's debts.

This is the most important thing!

Secondly, to expand the profit potential of the fishing boat game, it is necessary to recruit more players and invest in research and development.

The company also needs to keep a large portion of its funds.

In addition, the money the company earns belongs to the company.

Although the company has only two shareholders, Chen Zhou and Xia Yu.

In theory, the company belongs to both of them.

but!

The company is an independent legal entity!

As individual shareholders, Chen Zhou and Xia Yu could transfer the company's profits into their own pockets.

You also need to pay 20% personal income tax.

After considering all factors, Chen Zhou ultimately decided to leave the company with approximately 500 million yuan in cash as funds for daily operations and expansion.

In 2028, Xia Xiaomiao and I will receive a total dividend of 600 million yuan.

Pay 20% personal income tax, 120 million yuan.

There is still 480 million yuan left to distribute.

Currently, he and Xia Xiaomiao hold 75% and 25% of the shares respectively.

He ultimately received 360 million yuan, while Xia Xiaomiao received 120 million yuan.

In addition, he had previously lent the company 30 yuan, which the company was preparing to repay.

Chen Zhou has a total of 390 million yuan.

of course!

All of the above are calculated on paper.

The funds will arrive in two more days.

Chen Zhou thought that once the funds arrived, he would call his parents back and help them pay off all the family's debts.

That morning, Chen Zhou stayed at the company.

Meetings have been ongoing.

The most important thing next was that Chen Zhou presented several specific mobile game project proposals for them to discuss.

Which mobile game should we prioritize developing next?

Or should we do it together and move forward side by side?

Is it better to play it safe or to go faster?

This strategic choice sparked heated discussions among the public.

Chen Zhou was also struggling to make a decision.

His original intention was to simultaneously launch the development of five games: Fishing Master, Temple Run, Happy Match, Temple Run, and Clash of Clans.

After all, the company will soon have nearly 500 million yuan in its accounts.

Moreover, the funds from Fruit Ninja will continue to flow in every month.

The expected monthly cash flow is in the tens of millions.

Chen Zhou wasn't too worried about the subsequent funding issues.

What he was really worried about was whether the rapid growth of the company would lead to a lack of ability among the founding members and management team, represented by Luo Fei, and thus cause the company to lose control.

Don't take too big a step and end up tearing your balls!

After all, no matter how capable Chen Zhou is, it would be difficult for him to manage the development details of five game projects at the same time.

It's impossible to do everything personally.

Now that everyone's been reborn, who's going to continue being a nuclear-powered beast of burden?

I'm here to be the boss!

but!

Chen Zhou ultimately decided to pull off one last big heist!

Anyway, I still have half a year before I go to university.

Instead of wasting time, why not use it to create more money-printing machines and cash cows for the Fish Boat game?

Once he gets into Peking University, he can just sit back and collect money.

At the same time, Chen Zhou also believed in Luo Fei, the founding members present, and the new colleagues recruited into the company, believing that people's abilities could be cultivated.

The teams that Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang built to conquer the country weren't that great either!

Even peddlers and hooligans eventually become kings and generals.

The same applies to building a gaming empire!

Besides, these mobile games were all excellent products that had been proven by the market in their previous lives!

If they just copy what they've learned, how could they not do it well?

What's more, I'm here to oversee everything!

Although this means that for the next six months, Chen Zhou will have to devote almost all his time and energy to the Fish Boat game and reduce the time he spends with Xia Xiaomiao.

But, for the tribe!

No, for the gaming empire, let's do it!

Of course, Chen Zhou also considered that while a sweet romance is nice, it shouldn't interfere with Xia Xiaomiao's studies.

Especially that girl, she's super love-struck, what if she really interferes with Xia Xiaomiao's studies?

·

Just as Chen Zhou was in a meeting, so busy that he didn't even have lunch.

School has ended at Haitang Middle School.

The New Year's Day holiday is combined with two monthly holidays.

In total... a two-and-a-half-day holiday.

This is how high school holiday calculations work.

They each went home.

Xia Yu and Xu Lele returned to the residential area and went straight to Chen Zhou's house.

At the doorstep of 401.

Xia Yu opened her backpack, took out the key, inserted it into the lock, and twisted it with her fair hand, making a click.

The door opened.

But the next second, a figure I'd never seen before suddenly walked out of the kitchen on the side.

She was a middle-aged woman, tall and with a pretty face, and she was wearing an apron.

The middle-aged woman stared blankly at the two young girls standing at the door.

so beautiful!

Whose daughter is this, so cute and fair-skinned!

Zhou Xianjun had lived half her life and had never seen such a stunningly beautiful girl.

But she didn't understand why this girl and another girl would suddenly appear at her doorstep.

They even have the keys!

Zhou Xianjun asked hesitantly, "Who...are you?"

Xia Yu snapped out of her daze and hurriedly said, "Auntie, hello, I'm Chen Zhou's...good,good friend."

"My name is Xia Yu."

Chen Zhou has almost completely cured Xia Xiaomiao's stutter.

But now, realizing that the woman in front of her was very likely Chen Zhou's mother, she became so nervous that she started to stutter.

Her pretty face flushed slightly.

Xia Yu even gave the other party a simple bow.

Zhou Xianjun: "Uh..."

awkward!

Completely bewildered!

Xu Lele asked, "Auntie, are you Chen Zhou's mother?"

Zhou Xianjun nodded. "Yes, that's me."

She was still completely baffled.

Xu Lele smiled and said, "Then that's correct!"

"Auntie, let me introduce you again."

"My best friend, Xia Yu, nicknamed Xiaoyuer, is also Chen Zhou's special nickname 'Xia Xiaomiao'."

"She's still Chen Zhou's girlfriend."

Upon hearing Xu Lele's explanation, Zhou Xianjun immediately understood.

I've figured everything out now.

No wonder this girl had a key to her own house!

but!

My rascal, how did he manage to get such a beautiful girlfriend?

The ancestral graves are emitting auspicious smoke!

It's said that when a son brings home a group of female classmates, the one that the mother dislikes the most is often the future daughter-in-law.

But when Zhou Xianjun saw Xia Yu, she was filled with affection.

She's tall, fair-skinned, beautiful, and also gentle and polite!

Zhou Xianjun couldn't hide her excitement and said with a smile, "Xiaoyu, right? Please come in, please come in."

Have you eaten yet?

"Is there anything you'd like to eat? Auntie will make it for you."

Xia Yu said nervously, "Thank you, Auntie. I... I'm not hungry."

Zhou Xianjun said, "How could I not be hungry? It's already midday."

"It's alright, just tell Auntie what you want to eat. Auntie's cooking is excellent!"

"As for the ingredients and such, Auntie will have Chen Zhou's dad buy them for you."

"Old Chen! Old Chen!"

Zhou Xianjun called out towards the bedroom.

"Coming, coming," came a middle-aged man's voice from inside.

A short while later, Chen Chongli came out.

He spotted Xia Yu in the living room at a glance.

—A beautiful girl whose beauty can be described as unparalleled.

Her skin was like creamy jade, and her eyes were bright and her teeth white!

Xia Yu greeted him politely and well-behavedly, "Hello, Uncle."

Chen Chongli asked Zhou Xianjun blankly, "Wife, who is she?"

Zhou Xianjun couldn't hide her smile and said, "Your son's girlfriend."

"Her name is Xia Yu."

Upon hearing this, Chen Chongli's pupils dilated, and his face was filled with disbelief.

How did my brat manage to snag such a beautiful girl?

How did he do that? Did he drug her?

Chen Chongli was still skeptical. "Girl, are you really Chen Zhou's girlfriend?"

Xia Yu nodded, "Mm!"

Xu Lele chimed in, "Absolutely genuine!"

"Only one!"

Chen Chongli made an "uh" sound and scratched his head.

His expression was complicated.

There was not a trace of joy on his face.

Instead, I was filled with worry.

Chen Chongli thought to himself that his family owed a huge debt of more than two million yuan, and some of it was high-interest loans.

With interest compounding, it's almost reached 300 million.

And there will be more and more of them in the future.

Forget about selling the house, even if I cut myself to death, it wouldn't be enough to pay off the debt!

With a family like ours, how will we find a wife for our son in the future?

It's all my fault for being incompetent; I ruined Xiaozhou's life!

Chen Chongli felt deeply apologetic towards Chen Zhou, and at the same time, he didn't want Chen Zhou to hold such a good girl back.

The girl is innocent and has a bright future ahead of her.

Chen Chongli said, "Well, Miss Xiaoyu, there's something I need to make clear to you."

Xia Yu said obediently, "Uncle, please speak."

Chen Chongli said seriously, "You and Chen Zhou are not a good match!"

"You two, break up!"

"The sooner the better; a short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one!"

"I know this might be hard for you to accept right now, but your uncle is doing this for your own good."

Chen Chongli felt that he had been speaking from the heart and was very sincere.

However, Xia Yu was struck dumb by Chen Zhou's father's words!

She froze, her mind buzzing, completely blank!

Xia Yu subconsciously shook her head repeatedly, but couldn't say a word.

Her captivating peach blossom eyes were now red, with glistening tears constantly shimmering in them, making her look pitiful.

Xu Lele was terrified to see her best friend like this.

She quickly comforted her, "Little Fish, don't worry, don't cry. No one else's decision about breaking up matters except yours and Chen Zhou's, right?"

"So, don't listen to that old geezer!"

"What does that old geezer know?"

"He's just like Fahai, he doesn't understand love!"

Chen Chongli: "???"

"Who are you talking about, Fahai? Who are you talking about, that old geezer?"

"I'm only in my early forties!" Chen Chongli was somewhat taken aback.

Ignoring Chen Zhou's father, Xu Lele continued to soothe him, "Little Yu'er, let's wait for Chen Zhou to come back before we talk about it, okay?"

"I'll call him for you!"

Xia Yu wiped away her tears with her fair hands, choking back sobs as she said, "Mmm!"

"Uncle, I... I won't break up with... Chen Zhou..."

As Xia Yu spoke, tears streamed down her face.

Although she was a crybaby, she quickly regained her composure.

His gaze gradually hardened.

Being with Chen Zhou and never separating from him is her bottom line and principle!

We will absolutely not back down!

No matter who opposes her, she will fight resolutely!

Looking at Xia Yu, who was just a moment ago pitiful and lovable, her attitude was now resolute, just like a cute but fierce kitten.

Zhou Xianjun felt extremely sorry for him and extremely fond of him.

She also knew that her family's current financial situation was very bad!

But Zhou Xianjun believes that parents' debts should not be paid for by their children's love life!

In particular, the moment he saw this young lady Xia Yu, he was completely infatuated with Chen Zhou.

Zhou Xianjun said, "Xiaoyu, your Uncle Chen has had too much to drink and is talking nonsense! Don't take it seriously."

Chen Chongli quickly said, "Where did I drink too much? I didn't drink a drop today, I just..."

Zhou Xianjun snapped, "Chen Chongli, shut up!"

"Get out of here now, immediately! Go buy groceries for me!"

Chen Chongli was taken aback. "Wife, shouldn't you be on my side?"

Zhou Xianjun was very displeased, frowning and angrily saying, "Are you going to leave or not?!"

Chen Chongli said, "I won't go out."

Zhou Xianjun said, "I'll count to three!!"

Chen Chongli: "…………"

Marrying a woman from Sichuan or Chongqing means living a life of misfortune!

Chen Chongli uttered a few words, gave a wry smile, and helplessly left the house.

At home in 401.

Zhou Xianjun kept comforting Xia Yu, "Xiao Yu, your Uncle Chen is just talking nonsense."

"How can you say something like that after just meeting your son's girlfriend?"

"He's either drunk or his mind is muddled."

"It's okay, Auntie's on your side."

Xia Yu felt wronged and confused. "Auntie, why did Uncle Chen say that? Why did he want me to break up with Chen Zhou?"

Zhou Xianjun made an "uh" sound, "Well..."

"Xiaoyu, I don't know how to tell you this."

"I don't even know if I should tell you?"

Zhou Xianjun looked troubled and hesitated.

Xia Yu was puzzled. She tilted her head and looked at Aunt Zhou with a questioning expression.

At this moment, Xu Lele turned back.

She laughed and said, "Little Fish, I thought it was something serious."

"Chen Zhou already told me, don't worry, his dad said that just now most likely because of money."

Xia Yu suddenly realized, "Oh, it's because of the debt."

Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled radiantly.

Xu Lele nodded, "Yes."

"Right, Auntie?" Xu Lele looked at Aunt Zhou.

Zhou Xianjun was completely bewildered, thinking to herself, "Chen Zhou even told them this?"

They knew our family was in debt, but they didn't mind at all.

Uh... it's mainly Xia Yu. She's Chen Zhou's girlfriend. Our family owes money, and she has a vested interest in it.

Does she not mind or care?

Tsk tsk... This girl probably doesn't know how much money our family owes.

Since that's the case, Zhou Xianjun frankly said, "Yes, Chen Zhou's father said that just now because our family is in debt."

"He doesn't want our family to hold you back because of this."

"After all, the money our family owes is not a small amount."

"Although I know I shouldn't be telling you this so soon after we met, it's the truth, and I don't want to lie to you."

"As for what you will choose, your aunt will respect and understand your decision."

"It's just that Chen Zhou has suffered. His father and I have let him down!"

Zhou Xianjun opened up about her feelings, becoming more and more distressed as she spoke.

Xia Yu quickly comforted her, "Auntie, please don't say that."

"Don't worry about it."

"Chen Zhou is very capable; he has made a lot of money."

"He can pay off all the family's debts."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xianjun was stunned. What did this girl just say?

Chen Zhou made a lot of money? Enough to pay off all his family's debts?

Are you kidding me!

Zhou Xianjun didn't believe it at all; she was convinced that the girl had a different definition of "a lot of money" than she did.

Zhou Xianjun shook her head and chuckled, "Silly child, do you know how much money our family owes?"

"Chen Zhou doesn't even need to study anymore. Even if he worked ten jobs a day, he still wouldn't be able to pay off his debts."

Zhou Xianjun scoffed.

Xia Yu replied seriously, "Auntie, I know."

Zhou Xianjun smiled and said, "It's good that you know."

Xia Yu added, "Your family owes about 300 million."

Zhou Xianjun: ? ? ?

She looked utterly astonished. "How...how did you know?!"
