After rebirth, I found out that I have a childhood sweetheart

"We will reveal the answer to you next. Everyone is welcome——"

Encouraged by the prolonged applause, Xia Yuan walked out from behind the screen with her face covered and slowly walked to the front of the stage.

"Yuan Bao! I knew that Miss Shan You Lin Xi was Yuan Bao himself! Give me the money!"

As for the debate about the real identity of the webmaster, the internal members of C Station have also discussed it for a long time, just like netizens. The setting of "Yuan Xi Yi Tie Pai" is very consistent with the fantasy of otakus, and it is very popular among these old ACG people. Many members believe that Yuan Bao, who was strongly promoted by the webmaster a while ago, is the webmaster himself, so that everyone recognized Xia Yuan as soon as she appeared.

Xia Yuan took the microphone from Mei Yue, and Mei Yue sat down at the children's table to listen to Xia Yuan's speech.

“That… um…”

"Yuanbao, don't be nervous, I'm your fan!"

"What Yuanbao! Can you please call me Miss here?"

"Don't be nervous, Miss!"

"Ah...well, I'm not nervous, haha."

Xia Yuan actually didn't expect that she would also attend as a special person. "It's like this... Actually, I'm not the webmaster of C Station. I just got help from You Xi... In short, I will actually become a member of C Station, that is, Lin Xi Technology, in the future. I will debut as a poster girl. Please give me your advice!"

"Great! Yuanbao is not a young lady!"

"It's broken! Yuanbao is not the eldest lady!"

"I understand. Now I will draw a two-dimensional image for Yuanbao to compete with the AC girl on Station A!"

"Well, don't get excited, wait wait - the real young lady is behind."

Xia Yuan held the microphone with both hands and muttered to the screen behind him, "Yes, Yes, can you come out now?"

"..."

Lin Youxi slowly walked to the front amid everyone's applause. Compared to Xia Yuan's shyness, she seemed very cool and aloof - just as some employees expected.

"Hey, Zixi, say something, Zixi, aren't you the one who most hopes to see that the stationmaster is the real Miss?"

"What else can I say? AWSL!"

Some members even knelt on the ground in a grandiose manner, thanking the gods for the miracle that could only be bestowed.

"Thanks to Station C, thank you to the ACG world, the young lady is really a young lady! There is nothing to look forward to anymore!"

Today was actually the first time that Lin Youxi wore a black silk lolita dress. It was a welfare given by the webmaster as she was forced to do business. Seeing the members making a fool of themselves, Lin Youxi felt a little overwhelmed.

"Everyone has said a lot before, so I won't say anything more..."

"Speak more, Miss!"

"Yeah, tell me more!"

Lin Youxi seemed very comfortable in organizing class activities, and was not at all stage-frightened in face-to-face communication. However, she found it difficult to cope with this kind of situation where she was fanatically worshipped as a symbol.

"My name is Lin Youxi, the nominal webmaster of Station C and the nominal person in charge of Linxi Technology. In fact, I have a lot of work interactions with everyone here, especially in the area of ​​program code development, but my communication with everyone is often limited to work-related content."

"In name only... Isn't Miss the real stationmaster?"

“That’s why I said it was nominal…”

Lin Youxi smiled and explained to everyone, "When I was very young, there was a boy who was my childhood sweetheart with Yuanyuan. We always went to his house to play, and it was at his house that I came into contact with games, anime, and many beautiful things and things in the two-dimensional world."

"These things prompted me to build a place for communication among us like-minded people. I hope we can build a cultural exchange sanctuary that is purer and less capital- and commercial-oriented than Station A."

"With this in mind, I worked with my childhood sweetheart to complete the basic framework of C Station. I like code, so I mainly focused on web development. However, everything else, including external communication and cooperation, bandwidth fee collection, forum feedback, and recruitment of everyone present, and even the name of C Station, was named because he thought C sounded very similar to my name."

Everyone listened to Lin Youxi's gentle narration of the past, and suddenly they felt like they were shipping a sweet couple. This made Yue Xinyi, who was standing nearby, burst into tears, so much so that her younger brother, the bespectacled man Yunzai, kept patting her shoulders to comfort her.

"So I think that the person who should really be given the title and honor of the C Station Master is my and Yuanyuan's childhood friend, the real first generation of Miss Shan You Lin Xi, Mei Fang."

As Lin Youxi spoke, she turned to the side of the screen, smiled and called Mei Fang's name, "It's your turn to speak, Ah Fang."

"..."

Mei Fang walked out scratching his head amid the applause of the crowd.

"I won! A great victory for Fang Bao's party!"

During the time when Xia Yuan released her album, the statement that Fang Bao was the website owner only occupied a small part, but the main output of her argument was in the development team of Station C. This person was crazy and happy to others, "See, I knew Fang Bao was the real eldest lady!"

"What young lady? I don't recognize her! The young lady is obviously Xi Bao from before. Only Sister Youxi can be the young lady."

"Damn it, isn't our Fang Bao adorable!"

"Don't argue, don't argue. I think Yuanbao, Fangbao, and Xibao are all young ladies."

Mei Fang walked to the front, leaning on Lin Youxi's arm and complaining: "This is completely different from the speech we discussed before... Didn't you say that it was mainly based on you? You really like to see me improvise."

Lin Youxi smiled at Mei Fang and said, "You have to let everyone know your status, otherwise there will be a lot of doubts."

Mei Fang nodded in agreement with Lin Youxi's statement, and then turned to everyone present:

"Well... there are a lot of things here, and I can't explain them to you all in a short time, but before that I'd like to thank you all very much for coming today. C Station has grown from an ignorant little kid's work to today's size that cannot be underestimated. This is the collective credit of our entire team, and I am deeply grateful for it. At the same time, I am also very happy to see that everyone can finally meet together. In the future, we will work together, grow together, and move towards a brighter and better tomorrow together."

"Okay, I won't chat any more, or the food will get cold."

Mei Fang held the microphone and looked around, then smiled and said, "I'd like to end with a famous quote from our predecessors - what you love is your life. Welcome everyone to become a member of Station C, and please give me your guidance in the future."

Chapter 243: The Second Year of High School Begins

Bihu, the favorite question-and-answer community for young people, was not yet fully open for registration in 2012, but the members of the C-station development team must have had a question they really wanted to ask at this moment:

[What is it like to find out that your boss is a high school student? 】

Mei Fang made his debut at the first offline foundation meeting at Station C and stunned all his employees on the spot.

If it weren't for his fluent answers to questions about all the business operations of Station C, no one would have believed that this little kid who hadn't even grown all his hair yet would be the boss of Station C.

"Mei, Mei must be a rich second-generation from a wealthy family, right?"

"Don't call me President Mei, that name sounds weird. We are all friends, so we just need to get along and work hard together."

Mei Fang is approachable and doesn't have any bossy airs. If he is the only one who is easy to talk to, the company would actually be in danger. However, Lin Youxi and Mei Yue are willing to let Mei Fang play the villain, so it's okay.

"Should I continue to call you Miss? I can't say that anymore..."

"How dare you look down on our Fang Bao, Fang Bao! As soon as this person sees this, fire him immediately!"

"Fang Bao is not okay either... it's too corny."

Mei Fang had previously been using Lin Youxi's account to act as the young lady and chat with everyone, but now he is asked to come up with a new name, but he has no idea yet.

Lin Youxi said, "Since there is no good name, let's call him Stationmaster Afang. This will better suit his feelings."

"Since Mr. Mei is the stationmaster, then between Yuanbao and the eldest lady, which one is the stationmaster's wife? Hahahaha——"

The young people who were joking burst into laughter, and Xia Yuan blushed to calm down everyone's teasing.

"Well, well... We are still in high school! We can't date yet, Da-me-yo."

"I know, I know! This is the so-called 'tragic battle between me and my childhood sweetheart', right?"

The bond between Mei Fang, Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi is very much like the wonderful fate that only appears in light novels. Those who use C Station are all old fans of the two-dimensional world, and they are very happy to connect with the gags.

After happily enjoying a sumptuous meal, everyone gathered at the office building where Station C was located, where Mei Fang reintroduced the company's organizational structure.

First of all, C Station is actually maintained and operated by a combination of two companies. Linxi Technology is the main body of C Station, while Ximilu Games is a game studio independent of C Station, but it uses the traffic of C Station to distribute games. The previously popular "Old Bird Floats First", as well as the well-known "King's Throne" and "Life Restart Simulator" were all developed and distributed by Ximilu Games.

Everyone originally thought that Mei Fang was a rich second-generation whose family had too much money to spend, so while they were pursuing him, they felt a little bit of contempt for him.

But after learning that such a large C station was entirely supported by Mei Fang's own money spent on making games, and that his family was just an "ordinary family" (at least in terms of the economy), everyone suddenly developed a sense of respect for Mei Fang.

"Other people started learning code in elementary school, and were thinking about making games and websites when they were teenagers, but I was just playing in the mud."

"It's over. A programmer with ten years of work experience and under 20 years old has finally appeared."

Programmers make friends through code. As long as you type well, write clear comments, fix bugs quickly, and never drag down your teammates, you are the god of programmers.

Lin Youxi and Mei Fang both meet these characteristics, so they always follow the codes of these two people.

Most of the artists at C Station are responsible for UI planning, which means they draw pictures for the interface of C Station. Only a small number of members, such as cute girls like Coke, are responsible for drawing some Q-version original paintings. After reading the company's strategy and seeing the portfolio of fitness beauty Guo Yun, the artists were deeply shocked and gathered around Guo Yun to ask for advice on painting techniques.

Everyone was enthusiastic about communicating, but later, under Mei Yue's guidance, everyone began to find their own workstations according to the seating chart.

Currently, there are about 50 workstations in the entire office lobby. The left half is basically occupied by existing employees, while the right half is mostly vacant. This is to prepare for the subsequent expansion of Ximilu Studio.

In addition, the office has a total of 5 rooms, a large conference room, a small conference room, a server room, a utility room, and the last room is Mei Fang's personal office. At Mei Fang's request, a very soft large sofa was prepared in the room, so he could lie down in it when he was tired.

However, although Linxi Technology is now on the right track, Ximilu Games is still a studio that tends to be independent in development. If it wants to truly gain influence, how to promote and operate this game is also a key factor.

This is also a challenge for the members of Linxi Technology. In Mei Fang’s previous development strategy, the independent game module of C Station was specifically keen on sharing niche independent games. In addition to the well-known legendary work "To the Moon", they also subsequently represented many domestic and foreign game products, but they were just named and given a recommended position.

To do a good job of publicity and promotion for the release of its first-party game "Cloud Journey" will be the first step for Mei Fang to build a new C Station empire.

Now Station C has the dual functional identities of the old-era Station B and TAPTAP. Of course, when the independent game sector becomes large enough in the future, Mei Fang will consider purifying it and making it an independent game platform brand, that is, a new TAPTAP.

The new TAPTAP will no longer focus solely on the domestic mobile game market. Mei Fang hopes that he can try to grab a piece of meat from Steam, which has not yet expanded its territory to influence the entire industry.

At least in the field of independent game products, this section of C Station is not inferior to STEAM at all. Even if Mei Fang does not make a lot of money from independent games, he can still maintain its reputation.

The first day's all-staff meeting left a deep impression on everyone in attendance.

Especially the childhood sweethearts between Xia Yuan, Mei Fang and Lin Youxi, which are more precious than gold.

The three of them worked hard together for a goal and recruited more partners. The feeling of staying together until now was also something they had once fantasized about, had, and even lost.

Who doesn’t have a childhood sweetheart?

It's just that we lost them in the process of growing up.

The summer vacation is over, and Mei Fang’s friends are about to leave Jiangcheng and return to Baimei County.

During this period of time, Zhang Ming became more determined to continue to go further with Mei Fang, and with Mei Fang's encouragement, he confessed to Lu Xueqing.

Mei Fang did not ask about the result of the confession, but the night before leaving, Zhang Ming took the initiative to find Mei Fang and said he wanted to treat him to skewers.

The two of them ate barbecue and drank Sprite (high school students were not allowed to drink alcohol) at a barbecue restaurant next to the hotel, and quietly ended this rare gathering.

All the feelings are in Sprite.

In fact, Mei Fang later thought about it. The Zhang Ming he met in his previous life had always been a boy who had no pursuits and was just getting by. He had no interest in girls at all. He also thought that Zhang Ming had always been like this. Now he thinks he was wrong.

How can a boy be born with only games in his mind?

Even Mei Fang in his previous life had feelings for Liu Xiaoyu.

Just like that, the summer vacation ended, the new semester began, and the second year of high school, which was full of various changes, officially began.
