"Mr. Xu, I'm asking if we are free at noon today. Would you like to treat us to a meal?"

". Then let's eat. It doesn't cost us anything anyway. If you don't eat, it's free."

"Then I'll make an appointment with them at noon. Do you want to have breakfast today?"

"If you don't want to eat, I'll catch up on some sleep."

"Okay, you can sleep, and we can go get something to eat first."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Cheng turned over on the big hotel bed, and the mattress squeaked.

For several days, the choice of cooperation plan has not been finalized.

Penguin tested Xu Cheng's attitude several times, but the answers he gave were always ambiguous and not very positive.

Soon he fell asleep again, and in the fragmented dreamland were Lin Wanzhou's scattered words.

[Although I just want to write something casually every time, I end up writing a lot of it out of nowhere. It’s true. 】

[I didn’t expect that you would get the first place in the grade again this time. Don’t relax. I will definitely not lose to you again in the next exam.]

[I saw a passage today, love is like a staircase, whether he goes up or you go down, as long as you cuddle up, it’s good. I think it makes sense. What do you think? 】

[My aunt is here, it hurts to death. 】

【.】

"Bang bang bang."

A knock on the door woke Xu Cheng up. The young man rubbed his sleepy eyes and got out of bed to open the door.

Outside the door were Li Changqing and the others, who had all put on their suits and stood at attention, looking quite similar.

"Mr. Xu, you haven't washed your face yet?" Seeing Xu Cheng's chicken coop-like hair, several people felt a little stunned.

"What time is it?" Xu Cheng asked.

Several people outside the door began to chatter.

"It's already eleven o'clock."

"You...didn't you sleep well last night?"

"Isn't it because I stayed up late last night and rewarded myself too much?"

Because they are all young people, the boundaries between leaders and subordinates are not so strict at ordinary times, and their words are not big or small.

Xu Cheng first told them the word "reward". After explaining its meaning, several people discovered that ordinary literary words could have such wonderful explanations, so they started to speak it too.

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm just a little tired from working until late at night yesterday."

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Xu!"

"Mr. Xu, do you feel any pain? How about I massage it for you?"

"Calf paper, calf paper."

The young man slapped away the flattering hands in disgust, then stretched his body and said, "You guys wait for me for a moment, I will simply pack up and leave."

As the saying goes, there are no bad men, only lazy men. For most boys, washing their face well is equivalent to plastic surgery.

And it doesn’t take too long. Even if you wash your face and then your hair, it doesn’t take more than 10 minutes.

The facial cleanser he used was the same type as Lin Wanzhou's. Every time he rubbed the foam on his face, with his eyes closed, he felt as if his cheeks and Lin Wanzhou were sticking together.

Use a soft towel to wash off the water droplets on your face, and then look at yourself in the mirror.

So like most boys, he faced the mirror alone and put on an expression he thought was cool.

Most boys are very introverted. Rather than asking others "Am I handsome?", they prefer others to take the initiative to say "Wow, you are so handsome" through a side action, and then simply ask "Oh." ,Is it?"

Both pretentious and in need of a beating.

And the same goes for this kind of behavior of looking cool in front of the mirror. Only people who try to do it in private often do it in private. If someone discovers it, they will definitely be trapped in social death for a long time.

Xu Cheng learned from Yan Zu in Police Story, and learned that bad and mature smile.

Hmm, quite similar to Yanzu.

His skin quality is also good. He doesn't have the pimples that appear at this age. Even if he faces the light, he doesn't look greasy. He has a refreshing and sunny look.

However, in the eyes of the Penguin project leader, Xu Cheng is more like a hard rock to chew.

They thought they could kill it with the minimum of cost, just like sending away a poor beggar.

I didn’t expect that the delay on Hapi.com took so long.

It is said in the Book of War: In military affairs, speed is more valuable than cleverness and delay. Speed ​​leads to seizing opportunities, while delay leads to changes.

Changes later.

The contact with Hapi Farm naturally attracted the attention of many colleagues, including their current biggest competitors: Shengda and Wangyi.

The recent public beta test of "Poisonous Milk Powder" has aroused the alarm of these two overlords in the online game industry.

But now that they can see the value of Hapi Farm, these two families will naturally not just ignore it and let the Penguin family dominate.

"Several, please go this way."

As soon as Xu Cheng and his party walked over, someone from Penguin took Li Changqing and the others away, leaving Xu Cheng alone.

Seeing his puzzled look, Manager Liu from Penguin, who was responsible for contacting Hapi.com, came over and spoke in a low voice.

"Today there is a special leader who wants to have something to eat alone with you."

"Okay, who is it?"

"You'll know when you go."

Manager Liu opened the door of the private room with a smile. Xu Cheng felt like he was inviting you into a urn, so he walked in uncomfortably.

The private room is not big, and there is an inconspicuous, thin man standing in front of the window. He is wearing an expensive-looking suit. He does not have a unique aura about him, but he has the feeling of a polite and poor scholar.

Seeing Xu Cheng, he seemed to have some social embarrassment on his face. He didn't know how to say hello, so he could only smile and nod awkwardly.

So it was Xu Cheng who spoke first, "I thought about several people, but I didn't expect it to be you."

"Sit down."

Brother Ma pointed to the seat, then scratched his head in embarrassment, "I don't really like crowded situations, so I don't mean anything else."

Xu Cheng reluctantly believed this sentence. After all, this guy seemed to be a bit socially intimidated. He couldn't find anything to say in his seat, so he lowered his head and looked around, then smiled and asked Xu Cheng to eat.

His relatively introverted character is well known in the circle. Even in forums where there are many big bosses, he can't chat with others. Xu Cheng remembers that when the Five Penguins went out to discuss business together, he would always be regarded as their accompanying secretary, and Not the boss.

Seeing that he couldn't hold back a word for a long time, Xu Cheng had to cough twice to find something to talk about.

"Aren't you going to spend the Chinese Valentine's Day with the person at home today?"

"In the evening, hehe, I will deal with the business matters at noon and spend the evening with her. You... Oh, Mr. Xu is still young and still in school?"

"Correct."

". Now?" "High school, I'm about to be a sophomore."

That's what people who don't know how to chat are like this. They start checking their household registers as soon as they start chatting. However, Xu Cheng and Brother Xiao Ma are talking about business and not about partners, so it doesn't matter if they just find some topics.

Gradually they learned that Xu Cheng had started learning programming at a very young age, and the two of them started talking about an issue that would make all programmers blush and gasp for breath——

What is the best programming language.

"Right, C language is definitely the best programming language. I told them that Penguin will rely on C language to dominate the world in the future."

Brother Xiao Ma banged the table, and Xu Cheng nodded.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, the flexibility of C language definitely outweighs its shortcomings."

"I should have called Zhidong here too. The three of us must have something in common."

"Actually, I'm very interested in your father," Xiao Ma said quietly after taking a sip of wine.

"Well. My dad's sexual orientation is quite healthy."

"Ahem, Mr. Xu is joking. I mean Penguin wants to cooperate with Jing'an."

"I hope there will be a chance in the future."

Xu Cheng probably guessed that the cooperation he wanted to achieve should be the mobile QQ installation that comes with the mobile phone.

Although the mobile QQ operating experience in this era was extremely poor, it did provide a lot of help for mobile QQ to quickly win the market in the smartphone era.

I have to say that Brother Ma is still a very thoughtful guy. His algorithms and techniques are not the best, but he is very talented in applications.

For example, when the early Internet bubble burst, he proposed a business model of using mobile phones to register for QQ, connecting computers and mobile phones, and finally sharing the business with operators.

In the following years, the market called Monternet expanded rapidly, and Penguin, who was the first to join Monternet because of this idea, enjoyed one of the biggest dividends.

The two of them exchanged words with each other, and their relationship seemed to be getting closer. However, mature men would naturally not forget that there was an undetermined business relationship between them before, and it could even be said to be competition.

Although we have always opposed monopoly, the trend of monopoly is unstoppable. The current Hapi.com is definitely a small nail in Penguin's road to dominance.

"How about adding another 500 million? No matter which plan you choose, we will run the Harbin Farm afterward. I heard that your servers are often overwhelmed. Leave it to us. Penguin will have more server support." , I guarantee that everyone’s gaming experience will be more than doubled.”

Brother Xiao Ma handed over a contract that Xu Cheng had not seen a few days ago. It clearly stated a buyout of 500 million. From then on, Penguin will obtain the arbitrary control rights of Hapi Farm in the Penguin channel, including updating games and changing names. Games and removed games, and Hapi.com shall not have any objections.

"The financial crisis is coming. I can ask my friends for help. More than 70 US dollars are guaranteed to be transferred to your account within ten days. Penguin is already very sincere. Think about it?"

After saying that, Xiao Ma leaned sleepily on the back of the chair. The meal lasted until about three o'clock in the afternoon. As a middle-aged man, he looked uncontrollably sleepy, so he took off his glasses and started wiping them.

"It's very heartwarming."

"Yes, actually if I were you, I would basically have no reason to hesitate."

"I heard that you wanted to sell the penguins before, but unfortunately no one bought them."

"That's the most difficult time."

Brother Ma put on his glasses again, with a flash of the past flashing in his eyes, "The situation of Penguin at that time and you now are so similar. You have no choice but to see that your money is about to burn out, the Internet bubble is coming, and then a miracle Showed up and we got the money before the dot-com bubble hit.”

"You think penguins are our best chance."

"Absolutely! What we have in common is so much like Xiao Xu. We both have a well-off family and a very important father. But in this field, on the newly emerging Internet, at that time, I was not as good as this person. At that time, it was difficult for you and my father to provide us with any help, do you understand what I mean?"

Xu Cheng rubbed his fingers.

This second can be said to be one of the most nervous moments in his life.

To be honest, he didn't sleep very well these days. Whenever he stayed in the room alone and thought about his next decision, he would feel so nervous that his whole body muscles would tremble.

After all, any choice he makes will determine where the butterfly will fly in the future. One wrong step will mean that all the hard work of Hapiwang will be wasted.

Historically, the original Happy Farm disappeared forever due to missteps.

So Xu Cheng didn't know how to achieve success. All he knew was one path destined to lose money - choosing the third plan.

In the past, he always comforted himself that even if he didn't get it, there were still many ideas that could be called miracles. However, one sentence was quite right. He must consider whether this was his only chance.

Before the future BAT pattern is completely formed, using Hapi Farm to fight out seems to be his best chance.

After the meal, the two said goodbye, and Xu Cheng returned to the hotel room.

He didn't talk to anyone anymore. His cell phone had been turned off since the morning, and he didn't want to answer any calls.

After thinking for a long time in his seat, the young man opened his briefcase and took out a letter wrapped in brown letter paper. Only when he read Lin Wanzhou's letters every day, his brain would relax a little, and this was what the girl gave him. The last one.

【.Occasionally I want to ride the Ferris wheel. 】

[It’s strange that a person who is afraid of heights would want to sit on something like this. 】

[But do you know what the Ferris wheel represents? 】

【It is happiness. 】

[Lovers who ride the Ferris wheel together will end up breaking up, but if you kiss your lover when the Ferris wheel reaches the highest point, they will go on forever. 】

【Does it sound familiar? 】

[Hmph, I remember it was a fool who told it to me. Maybe he has forgotten it himself, but I still remember it. 】

[If that fool wants to have an ending with me]

【It must be on the Ferris wheel. 】

For a moment, Xu Cheng felt that his heart was indeed hit.

How could I forget it.

It was the weekend when he took her on the run, and he said those words to her while they were sitting in front of the Ferris wheel.

Thought she had already forgotten.

But didn’t you expect that the seeds would be planted in the girl’s heart from then on?
This is the charm of memory. When you remember it, that person also remembers it firmly, and then this memory will be sublimated into an extraordinarily profound beauty.

He took out his phone and saw text messages sent by Lin Wanchu, including that one.

【We will have an ending. 】

【Is it right? 】

So at that moment, Xu Cheng made two decisions.

The first is to hand Li Changqing a plan he has drawn up and ask him to hand it over to Penguin.

As for the second one.
I wonder if you have heard of the legend of the Chinese Valentine's Day.

I heard about that day every year.

The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl will meet across the entire Milky Way.

　【Pass the trial! ! ! 】
