Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

December 12th is a day that is easy to remember.

Xu Xing vaguely remembered that in his previous life, after learning that Xu Niannian was not the biological daughter of his uncle and aunt, he curiously asked how this birthday came about.

But Xu Niannian himself didn’t know.

When he was adopted by Xu Yi and Bi Wenli from the orphanage, Xu Niannian didn't remember anything. He didn't know anything about what happened before he was three or four years old. He only knew that his birthday had always been on this date since he was a child.

However, for Xu Niannian, when her birthday is actually not too important.

The key point is that she can use the excuse of her birthday to play with Xu Xing and stay with her younger brother.

"Let's go, let's go~ Today I am the birthday boy, you have to listen to me." Xu Niannian took Xu Xing's arm and walked out happily, his steps were as light as if they were loaded with springs, and he jumped up and down like a child.

Same.

Yu Youjia and Yan Chijue on the side also followed, including Yao Yuanyuan.

So four girls plus Xu Xing and a boy, a group of five people happened to get into Yao Yuanyuan's car.

Yao Yuanyuan sat in the driver's seat and drove, while Yu Youjia sat in the passenger seat. Yan Chijuan and Xu Niannian sat down on one side, squeezing Xu Xing in the middle.

"Just go to the nearby Xintiandi?" Yao Yuanyuan started the car and drove to the underground parking garage of the office building, while asking Xu Niannian behind, "Or something further away?"

"Xintiandi is fine. It's too far away." Xu Niannian said after thinking for a while, "But I used to eat hot pot and stuff. I've been craving for that Jade Steakhouse for a long time. Let's go eat steak today. Xu Xing treats you.

!”

"Of course I have to treat guests with Xu Xing." Yu Youjia covered her mouth and chuckled, "There are five people in a car, four of them are employees. The boss is always embarrassed to let his employees treat guests."

"Then why is the boss sitting in this position?" Xu Xing was expressionless and restrained on the middle seat of the back seat. He couldn't let go of his legs and could only use one leg on each side to touch the beautiful legs of the two girls.

, just barely stretched out.

"You are my brother now, what's wrong with you sitting here?" Xu Niannian hugged his neck and said with a smile, "You are the boss only when you pay."

"As expected of you."

As Xu Xing said this, his hand was already secretly held by Yan Chijuan's.

Yan Chijue obediently didn't speak, quietly listening to the chats of several sisters, and carefully doing some sneaky things with Xu Xing in the car. Her little hand was wrapped by Xu Xing's warm big hand, and she was allowed to have some time in the closed car.

It feels like being wrapped in a warm hot towel.

It's a bit hot.

"No more, no more, I'll sleep a little longer."

After chatting for a while, it was still ten minutes away from the destination by car, so Xu Niannian said, his head already resting on Xu Xing's shoulder, and he closed his eyes, "I'll keep my eyes open for a while."

Yu Youjia, who was in the co-pilot, turned her head and saw this guy's movements, and couldn't help curling her lips. Her purpose was clear at a glance, and she didn't bother to disturb the rare intimacy between her and Xu Xing.

Nian Nian, a coward, dared to use some excuses to get together with Xu Xing like this.

Yu Youjia sighed inwardly and leaned on the backrest of the passenger seat, looking at the road ahead. Little did she know that behind her, Xu Xingzheng and Yan Chijuan were playing a pinching game.

…

At almost noon, the car arrived at the parking lot of Xintiandi Commercial Street.

When we got off the car, it was a cloudy day with dense white clouds overhead. Although there was no winter sunshine, it was still better than rain.

Coupled with the joy of his birthday, Xu Niannian looked at the dark clouds gathering above his head and felt so cute, as if he could see the silhouettes of himself and Xu Xing embracing on it.

When a group of five people walked into Xintiandi Commercial Street on the weekend, the four girls naturally attracted a lot of attention.

However, when a boy suddenly appeared among the four beautiful girls, the eyes of passers-by began to look at Xu Xing unconsciously.

Hmm...it looks pretty good.

He is also... quite tall.

Looking again at the girls around this boy, many of them cursed in their hearts.

But then I thought about it, this kind of boy who gets into the crowd of girls is probably the legendary male best friend or friend of women, right?

The kind who probably doesn't even have a girlfriend.

But this has nothing to do with Xu Xing.

Before going out today, Xu Niannian and Yan Chijuan also dressed up briefly.

In addition to putting on light makeup, Xu Niannian wore a thick white shirt on top and a thick light brown long windbreaker with the hem falling to the height of his knees.

The lower body is a pair of slim-fitting jeans, which perfectly highlights her slender legs. Her calves are slender and her thighs are firm, achieving a very pleasing proportion to her upper body.

On the other side, Yan Chijuan did not apply any makeup, and still looked as cute as ever. She wore a large sweatshirt on her upper body, which covered the annoying curves of her chest well, and then put on a thinner one.

white down jacket.

The lower body is wearing a short skirt that is also light-colored. Because the hem of the down jacket is relatively long, it almost covers most of the skirt.

The lower body and legs are wrapped in a thick layer of silk that is only worn in winter, which perfectly modifies the soft lines of her legs. Set against the loose white down jacket, the whole person looks as pure as a pure white flower.

The two girls walked beside Xu Xing, one on the left and the other on the right. They were used to this kind of walking pattern.

So in order not to block passers-by, Yao Yuanyuan and Yu Youjia had no choice but to walk behind the three of them.

They have worked together in the company for several months, and they are quite familiar with each other.

Especially in the early days, there were only a few people in the company, so Yao Yuanyuan did many things personally. She and Yu Youjia knew each other well, so they are no strangers now.

But as people from different camps, they both kept secrets in their hearts for Yan Chijiu and Xu Niannian, so when they chatted, they could only stop by.

"I heard from Niannian that the conditions at home were very difficult, so he had to go out to work during his freshman year?" Yu Youjia asked casually and curiously.

"That's right." Yao Yuanyuan didn't want to talk about this in detail, so she said, "Hasn't she found a boyfriend every year? Why don't you, a single person, introduce me to her?"

"She..." Yu Youjia smiled helplessly, "The requirements are too high. It may be difficult to find her in a short time."

After all, I have recognized my younger brother since I was a child, and now this younger brother has soared into the sky in just a few months, reaching a height that most people cannot reach.

After this, if Xu Niannian fails to show off with Xu Xing and get together, Yu Youjia guesses that this girl will never be able to get along with another man again.

What a bad fate.

On the other hand, it was Yan Chi Jiu's side. Although Yu Youjia had long suspected it, Xu Niannian, who had been living together with the three of them, felt that there was no problem, and Yu Youjia couldn't keep reminding him.

At this time, he took the opportunity to test it out: "Then Xu Xing has helped Jeju so much, does that mean he is willing to marry me?"

"How is that possible?" Yao Yuanyuan didn't know that Yan Chijiu was secretly dating Xu Xing at this time. She laughed and shook her head, "This girl is very strong. Now she is probably focused on work and study."

Yao Yuanyuan had been egging her on for so long before but no results were achieved. When she went to Kyoto during the National Day, the two of them even stayed in the same hotel suite, but there was no result.

Anyway, Yao Yuanyuan was already confused.

At first, I was still a little bit annoyed that iron cannot become steel, but as long as Yan Chijuan can continue to train like this in Xu Xing Company, it will definitely not be difficult to support himself in the future.

As long as life can be lived happily, it will be like that whether there is a man or not.

Yao Yuanyuan, who has been influenced by Pei Qinglan since she was a child, doesn't have much desire to find a boyfriend. Now that she sees Yan Chijuan's life getting better, she doesn't have too many extravagant desires for her.

As for Yu Youjia, she really feels like she has nowhere to use her power.

She wanted to create opportunities for Xu Niannian, but her allies couldn't do anything, and they had already lived together, and they didn't even dare to show off with Xu Xing.

Do you really think you can cook a frog by boiling it in warm water?

At least you should explain the relationship between sister clearly before you start cooking.

Although Yu Youjia can also understand Xu Niannian's inner struggle, after all, once the cards are shown, not to mention whether Xu Xing can accept it, the pressure on the family is also conceivable.

After all, she is a daughter who has been raised since childhood. Even if she is not her biological daughter, she is more affectionate than her biological parents.

It's hard to say for certain, maybe the family would like to see the couple become closer together, or maybe they would reject such a combination because of the relationship.

Anything can happen.

It was because Xu Niannian was so forward-thinking and overly considerate of Xu Xing's feelings that Yu Youjia felt was the reason for the current situation.

Rather than worrying about Yan Chi's jealousy, Yu Youjia was actually more worried about the temptation of other women.

Now Xu Xing is still the boss of a company with a market value that may be close to tens of billions.

In the future, he will inevitably have to go out to socialize and so on. If he is entangled by some women in society and eats her up, where will Xu Niannian cry?

The three people in front chatted happily and walked towards the steak restaurant. Yao Yuanyuan and Yu Youjia followed behind, chatting, but in fact they were like old mothers, worrying about their "daughters".

It can be said that he is quite conscientious.

On the contrary, the three people in front looked like they were a happy family. Xu Niannian held Xu Xing's arm, and the brother and sister were affectionate. Yan Chijue also walked aside obediently, saying words in reply from time to time.

Walking all the way into the Jade Steakhouse, and after finding a table for six people to sit down, Xu Niannian flipped through the menu and called the waiter to come over and order.

Because it was noon on the weekend, there were many customers here, and it took a while for the waiter to arrive.

Xu Xing touched his chin while looking at the busy look in the store, and couldn't help but think about the company's affairs. He said to several people: "Do you think, if we change the way of taking out food, would we have a chance to enter this kind of business?"

Come to a restaurant that’s not suitable for takeout?”

"It's my birthday today and you still want this kind of thing?" Xu Niannian glanced at him sideways and said a little dissatisfied, "You are a boss who is a little too conscientious."

"Let's talk, there's nothing else to talk about." Xu Xing innocently spread his hands.

"Didn't you tell me before that it is difficult for this kind of store to deliver takeout, unless they are willing to make internal adjustments to the takeout format." Xu Niannian knows these things very well, and often listens to Xu Xing's sharing in the shared house.

"What if we don't deliver?"

"What does that have to do with eating?"

"To put it bluntly, the Internet is a tool used to replace the previous way of information interaction." Xu Xing raised his finger and said, "Just like this store, after we come in and want to order food, we have to call the waiter to come over and give us the name of the dish."

"So?" Xu Niannian and others still didn't understand what he meant.

"So, what if I can order food without a waiter?" Xu Xing asked, "For example, put a QR code on the table, and after the customer scans it with his mobile phone, he can enter the electronic menu page and place an order directly with the chef.

, eliminating the intermediate link, the waiter only needs to be responsible for serving the food.”

"For another example, before we come to the store, we can reserve a seat in advance on Eat.me to know in advance whether there are any vacancies in this store."

"Even ordering the dishes before coming and having them served directly at the restaurant can completely improve the table usage efficiency of the entire restaurant and accommodate more customers than usual."

Having said this, Xu Xing couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and sent messages to Dai Zhuoshan and Zhang Nong respectively, asking them to discuss this plan.

During the recent period, Xu Xing has been mostly working, renting, and going to school, and has rarely gone out to restaurants, let alone such high-end restaurants.

Before, I was only thinking about how to expand the takeout business of EatMe, but I ignored some issues such as ordering inside the restaurant.

After all, not all restaurants prefer takeout, especially restaurants in commercial streets and commercial cities. Due to their high rents, their food prices will inevitably increase.

This kind of price itself goes against the nature of takeout, and few people will order takeout that costs dozens or even hundreds of yuan.

But even for dine-in meals, the internal ordering system is still a big market.

Xu Xing had ignored this part before, but it wasn't until he was brought to Xu Niannian for a birthday dinner that he suddenly realized the business opportunities in this part.

"I'm telling you, big boss, today is every year's birthday, can you just be calm?" Yao Yuanyuan was a little speechless when she heard what he said so clearly, "With four beauties accompanying you, do you still think about such a thing?

Woolen cloth?"

"There are obviously three beauties." Xu Xing looked around with confusion on his face, "Where is the fourth one?"

Yao Yuanyuan: "...You really deserve a beating."

"Ahem." After Xu Xing finished teasing, he changed the subject and asked Yao Yuanyuan, "Can I meet your mother before the Chinese New Year? I have something to discuss with Aunt Pei."

"New Year's Day, she should be free during the holiday."

"That's okay."

"Don't talk about the company anymore." Xu Niannian grabbed Xu Xing's ear with dissatisfaction and shouted at him, "The birthday boy said he didn't get the respect he deserves!"

"How does that count as respect?"

"Come, give your sister a massage." Xu Niannian shamelessly put his legs on Xu Xing's thighs.

"The big boss will give you a massage personally. You will really enjoy it." Xu Xing's big hands started to massage through his jeans.

Yao Yuanyuan blinked her eyes. Although she had gotten used to the intimacy between the two siblings, she still had a strange feeling when she saw these two interacting like a couple.

Yu Youjia was accustomed to Xu Niannian's behavior of climbing along the pole, but it was only to this extent. She just wanted to push Xu Niannian directly into Xu Xing's arms.

On the contrary, Yan Chi's vinegar feels the most normal.

Because I was really used to this scene when I shared a house, and I gradually became familiar with Xu Niannian during this period. Although I was a little jealous and wanted to put my own leg on it, I was the least responsive among the three people next to me.

one.

Even if Xu Niannian hugs Xu Xing in person, Yan Chijuan won't find it strange.
