Chapter 305: Changes in Plan
The August wind brings a touch of warmth.
The specially made five-ring pattern and portraits of five mascots in different colors can already be seen in every corner of the city.
The Chinese people have shown unprecedented enthusiasm for the century-old sports dream.
In another area, practitioners are showing a passive and silent attitude.
Xu Cheng felt the storm sweeping in more clearly than in his previous life, and almost all companies could not remain immune to this storm.
However, Xu Cheng knows that the Internet industry has shown great resilience compared to other industries during this crisis, and has even achieved overall industry growth.
In the conference room.
"At present, our Hapi Farm has entered the top three plug-in applications of the campus network. The total number of registered users of Hapi.com is about 70 million, and the total number of registered users of Hapi Farm is about 50 million. In other words, 71% of Hapi.com users are playing Hapi Farm..."
"Fuck!"
"You're such a jerk!"
The employees were not sitting very straight, their faces were filled with excitement. Some of them took a sip of the Coke or milk tea on the table from time to time, and some even ate melon seeds.
Rather than a meeting, this scene is more like a banquet.
This is Xu Cheng's own leadership style. He hopes that the company is not too rigid and that ordinary meetings can be conducted in a comfortable manner.
This free and flexible environment adds a few more reasons to attract talented people to join this small company with less than 50 people.
Su Yu first reported the good news, and then the bad news, "Affected by the financial crisis, the growth rate of our advertising revenue this month has dropped significantly. It is estimated that the subsequent financing work will also be difficult. The current cash flow is a bit difficult to support the current server growth rate. It is estimated that it can only last for one month..."
"Fuck!"
"You're such a jerk!"
"What's going on between you two?"
"Since the company has no money, let's pack up and go home. How about I take the printer?"
"Don't let anyone snatch the projector from me."
"You are so ungrateful. If it were you, I would let everyone take a bowl and go begging on the street tomorrow. Consider it a contribution to the company."
Xu Cheng slammed the table loudly.
"I'm still here, you guys are just discussing how to divide the things, right? And you're begging for food... You don't even have any special skills, how can you beg for food? Are you going to perform a system reinstallation for others?"
After that, he looked at Su Yu again, "Sister Su Yu, how is the contact with Penguin going?"
"It went quite smoothly." Su Yu replied.
There was another round of discussion in the meeting room.
"Huh? Are we connected with the penguin?"
"I didn't even get an offer from Penguin after graduation. I didn't expect to join in this way?"
"Thank you, Mr. Xu, for sending me to work in a big company. I'll kowtow to you first."
"Come on, you haven't even passed the Mandarin certificate test. When Penguin takes over, I guarantee you'll be the first one to be fired."
Lin Wanzhou didn't dare to speak and just buried his head in taking notes. The corners of his young mouth couldn't help twitching.
What kind of people are in this company...
How come a college student who graduated from science and engineering is nothing like what she imagined?
So greasy.
Xu Cheng also coughed twice in an humiliating manner and slammed the table.
"What are you talking about? Who just said I'm selling the company? Come on, let's go out and fight. I'll beat you to death."
Although he is much younger, Xu Cheng's physique is here.
Even if it's not a case of extreme anger, beating five programmers with sparse heads is not a problem at all.
These guys immediately became more restrained, and the sound of them cracking melon seeds became a little quieter.
"I said Mr. Xu wouldn't sell the company."
"I swear to protect the best Mr. Xu in the world until my death."
"Your Majesty is ready to fight to the death, why would we surrender?"
After a few instructions on work arrangements, the meeting was disbanded. Lin Wanzhou followed Xu Cheng in silence all the way.
After the office door was closed, he pestered Xu Cheng and asked questions.
"Are we going to prepare to engage the penguins?"
"yes."
"So you're going to Pengcheng in a few days?"
"We're going there soon. We've already made an appointment with Penguin. Don't worry, if everything goes well, it shouldn't take long."
"Should I go then?"
"It's up to you, we can go together or not."
The girl hesitated.
I thought that if my mother knew that I was not staying at home, it would be bad enough, and I also followed Xu Cheng to Pengcheng. That would be really hard to explain.
I don't think they eloped...
Seeing that the girl couldn't make up her mind, Xu Cheng coughed twice to remind her.
"Lin Wanzhou, Chinese Valentine's Day is coming in a few days. I may not be able to come back by then...why don't we celebrate it together?"
"Who wants to celebrate this messed up festival with you?"
"Then I order you to come with me as your boss."
The girl didn't seem scared at all. "I'm still a shareholder. You said before that there's no superior-subordinate relationship between us. It's okay for me not to listen to you."
"Shall I give you a stuffed toy of Beibei's mascot?" the boy asked tentatively.
This generation seems to be particularly fond of these little things and are always scooped up by them. For example, those who later scrambled for the chubby dolls seemed to be from this generation.
"...Not enough." The girl pouted and shook her head.
When he heard that it was not enough, Xu Cheng felt relieved.
It's better than saying no.
"Then add another duck, is that okay?"
"Who is Yaya?"
"It's the panda in the Fuwa, Panda Duck."
"My name is Jingjing!"
"Uh... then Jingjing, how about it, Lin Wanzhou, am I sincere?"
The girl hesitated for a while before finally nodding, "I can go with you...but I want the full set of five."
In fact, she didn't really want these things.
But if she doesn't order anything, wouldn't it seem like she can't live without him for the whole day?
But plans can never keep up with changes.
On the afternoon when the meeting ended, Lin Wanzhou received news that his grandfather in the countryside had fallen ill.
Since Lin's father was not at home, she naturally had to go to the hospital to take care of grandpa on behalf of Lin's father.
afternoon.
Xu Cheng quickly finished dealing with the company's affairs and rushed to the hospital with a fruit basket.
The people taking care of the elderly in the ward were Lin Wanzhou 's eldest aunt, second aunt, and the young girl.
Lin Wanzhou was sitting beside the bed. When he saw Xu Cheng at the door, he suddenly felt a little nervous.
She didn't know how to introduce Xu Cheng in front of her relatives.
I can't proudly tell my grandpa and the others that this guy is my childhood sweetheart who slept with me for almost the entire summer vacation.
Super handsome, right?
Or if the earlobes are sunken, you can give birth to a daughter.
However, Xu Cheng did not seem to give the girl a headache about this issue, and he introduced himself in front of the elders openly.
She also said that she and Lin Wanzhou were friends, so she stopped calling her auntie and started calling her eldest aunt or second aunt directly.
The eloquent young man won the favor of Lin Wanzhou's elder and second aunts. The old man lying on the hospital bed even stuffed a banana into his hand and asked him to eat it.
After staying in the ward for a while, the boy and Lin Wanzhou walked into the corridor filled with disinfectant.
The girl stood in front of him, looking down at the tip of her shoe embarrassedly.
"Xu Cheng, I can't go with you this time. I can't leave here."
"It's okay , it's okay."
Xu Cheng waved his hand generously, "I hope the old man gets better soon. Remember to take good care of yourself in the hospital."
"I'm sure I'll be fine. The doctor said my grandfather will be discharged from the hospital in two or three days, and my eldest and second aunts will take turns taking care of him. Don't worry."
"Well, my flight is tonight. Um... I wanted to stay with you, but this matter is very important, so I have to go over there..."
When the girl heard Xu Cheng's suddenly apologetic tone, she felt warm in her heart.
Xu Cheng seemed to be really taking on the role of the Lin family's son-in-law, and felt that he needed to do his part for their family's affairs.
Love is a matter between two people, and marriage is a matter between two families.
This attitude made the girl feel that the relationship between them was not just a sudden impulse.
This can be seen from the roles he plays.
So she decided to give him some feedback, so she took a deep breath, took a few steps forward, raised her arm, and used her white fingers to help Xu Cheng straighten his collar.
"Why do you act like you've done something wrong? I'm not that clingy. I'm just helping take care of my grandpa in the hospital."
This action of the girl can really impress the boy. Maybe it's because her neck is more sensitive. Just the rubbing of the collar makes the boy feel that their relationship is getting closer.
"Lin Wanzhou."
"……Um?"
"You are so sensible and reasonable, you are really suitable to be my wife."
"Go away."
The girl punched him lightly, then looked back with some fear, fearing that her wife's words would be heard by relatives at home.
"I...I'm going home to get ready. I'm going to stay in the hospital overnight, so I'll help you pack your luggage."
“You even helped me pack my luggage. You really are a virtuous woman… Mmm…” Before the boy could finish his words, the girl’s fingers pinched them into the shape of a duck’s beak.
After returning home by car, the girl first accompanied Xu Cheng to his house to pack the suitcase for the business trip.
She stood beside the bed, bending over to fold the clothes that Xu Cheng was going to wear.
Each type of clothing is folded differently.
For example, a T-shirt will be laid flat on the bed, folded left and right first, then the cuffs will be folded up, and then the clothes will be folded in half from head to tail, and finally folded in half from the middle.
For the shirt, first button it up, then lay it flat and turn it inside out, fold the sleeves in half along the shoulders, fold the bottom of the shirt upwards, and finally fold the collar down and place them in an overlapping manner.
For a moment, Xu Cheng felt dazed, as if she saw her husband's young wife carefully helping him pack his luggage before he went on a business trip.
"What are you doing at Penguin this time? Raising funds?" Being with Xu Cheng every day, the girl has some understanding of these simple matters.
Xu Cheng shook his head and said, "It's not financing, this time it's cooperation. The user activity of Hapi.com is increasing rapidly, and Penguin Space is obviously being marginalized. Under this circumstance, they naturally feel uneasy and want to try to cooperate with us."
Lin Wanzhou understood. Of course she knew Penguin Space, which was a very trendy website nowadays. Many students in the school liked to design their own Penguin Space and set some non-mainstream backgrounds and music.
Guo Zining is one of them. You can often see her posting comments and diaries on it, saying things like "In the end, I learned not to care" and "I don't care about forever, I only care about having it once."
If she didn't know that she had been single since her mother's womb, she would have thought that she had suffered a great emotional trauma.
However, Lin Wanzhou doesn't play this thing. Ever since she heard Xu Cheng say that QQ Space is a competitor of Hapi.com, she has been determined not to play it. She never clicks on it, for fear that if she clicks one more time, Penguin Horse will earn the money she earns from her click.
This is certainly not a case of the husband following the wife's lead, but she is also a shareholder of Hapi.com and of course she cannot do anything to aid the enemy.
"Aren't Penguin Space and you your rivals? How can we cooperate?"
"Have you never heard of the saying that there are no eternal enemies in the world, only eternal interests? This time they proposed three ways of cooperation for us to consider."
The girl thought for a moment and said, "How can we not cooperate? I feel that it is too dangerous to cooperate with a company as big as Penguin. It feels like courting disaster."
"There's nothing we can do. We're on a dead end this time. If we don't succeed, we'll die."
"Then they will definitely make it difficult for you this time."
"Then I'll beat up those old guys." Xu Cheng waved his fist.
The girl covered her mouth and smiled, "It would be nice if I could go with you this time."
"It's okay, you help me stay at the back."
The boy's suitcase was quickly packed and dragged out the door to the downstairs of Lin Wanzhou's house.
"Wait for me here. Don't go upstairs with your suitcase. I'll be down soon." The girl said to Xu Cheng considerately.
"Oh." The boy had no objection and agreed.
Sure enough, she came down from the stairs after a while, carrying a small bag and wearing a coat.
"Let's go out and wait for the bus."
"Um."
The two of them went to the entrance of the community and took a taxi.
The airport and the hospital were in different directions, so Xu Cheng stopped a car for Lin Wanzhou first.
"Ladies first." He took the initiative to open the back door, as if he was cordially inviting a princess to get in.
Lin Wanzhou bit her lip embarrassedly, and while turning around, she stuffed something into Xu Cheng's arms.
"This, this is for you for the next few days. I'll give you an overdraft first. Um... you are not allowed to finish reading it all in one day!" After saying that, she sat in the back seat with a blushing face and closed the car door.
Xu Cheng was stunned when he looked at the stack of letters in his hand.
It was the beginning of summer vacation, and the girl had agreed with him to bring him a letter every day, otherwise she would bring him a pair of socks instead.
But later on, the socks were always missing but the letters were gone. The girl was so embarrassed that she had no socks to wear when she went out, and she had to ask Xu Cheng to lend her a pair.
This time, she obviously felt that since the two of them were separated, even if he saw the contents of the letter, he would not be able to say anything to her, so she generously overdrafted him.
After figuring out the girl's little trick, Xu Cheng took a few steps back.
The car engine started, the girl waved at him through the window, her mouth slightly open, then the car started and quickly disappeared around the corner.
It was just lip language, but the boy understood it.
She is saying—
Don't let yourself be bullied, Xu Cheng...
