Grow up together

As the saying goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.

Since he promised Li Qiuyang to help him play this football match, Xu Cheng inquired about the other school's news in advance.

The person he was looking for was Tan Song, the son of the aunt next door, the same one who called him master every day when he was a child and taught him how to play games.

Xu Cheng remembered that Tan Song was a member of the school football team in high school. Later, he was admitted to a normal college as a sports student.

I think he is quite familiar with the level of each school's team. Even though it has changed many times, he should be able to give some useful suggestions on the overall strength and competition.

This weekend.

Xu Cheng sat on the chair in the bedroom, turned on the computer, found the note of "Brother Zhuangzhuang" on QQ, and wrote "Are you there?"

Because they are neighbors, Xu Cheng and Tan Song have always maintained a close relationship, and occasionally they would go to play ball together downstairs in the community during winter and summer vacations.

I remember that during the Chinese New Year this year, this guy took a girlfriend home to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

However, just a few days after school started in March, Xu Cheng saw this guy on QQ space and posted a message saying, "I can't hold the sand, why don't I let her go" to announce their breakup.

Not long after, Tan Song's reply was sent from QQ.

Brother Zhuangzhuang: "What's wrong with [Dog Head]?"

Jinghai No. [-] said affectionately: "I'm going to play a school-level football match in the next few days. I've never played before. I want to ask you about the truth."

Brother Zhuangzhuang: "Which team should I kick?"

Jinghai No. [-] said affectionately: "Foreign language school."

Brother Zhuangzhuang: "[Shocked]"

Brother Zhuangzhuang: "You guys got a kick?"

Jinghai’s most affectionate: “111”

Brother Zhuangzhuang: "[Shocked]"

Brother Zhuangzhuang: "Then just play for fun. Don't take it seriously. The foreign language school has a strong team. Even the physical education teachers there are foreigners. I have often seen them in the past. They are very black and the instructors are also very professional."

After hearing his comment, Xu Cheng probably knew what he was talking about.

Jinghai No. [-] said affectionately: "Then we will win with the probability of the national football team entering the World Cup."

Brother Zhuangzhuang: "It should be a little easier than that [laughing]"

After chatting with Tan Song for a few more words, Li Qiuyang also called.

"Lao Xu, I talked to the teacher, and the teacher said it's no problem and he can arrange for you to play as a foreign aid."

"It went so well? Your teacher is too reassured about me, right?"

"I've been coveting you for a long time. If my old class hadn't allowed it, I would have recruited you to join the school team."

"It's okay to play a few games, but I really don't have time to train all the time. By the way, Lao Li, I asked others about it, and they all said that our winning rate in this game is worrying."

"Hehe, there is indeed a big disparity in strength, but isn't it because of your reinforcement? When the time comes, we will all feed you cakes, and you will score fiercely."

"Well, football is not a game played by one person. Even Messi with the intensity of Barcelona Meng San can't say 100% winning rate. In fact, I don't care whether you win or lose. I'm just afraid that you will feel embarrassed if you lose, and you can't think about life or death. .”

"There's nothing I can't think about. It's just a game. I'm used to losing early."

"How can you really think about it? It's okay to lie to your brothers. As brothers, it doesn't matter if you fool me. Just don't fool yourself too."

Xu Cheng still knows Li Qiuyang's character very well.

Moreover, adolescent boys have a stubborn temper, and those things that can be laughed off later cannot be wiped away at this age.

After a pause, Xu Cheng continued.

"Okay, let's do some simple training tomorrow to get used to it. Anyway, this matter has been spread. At this time, even if you don't play, some people will say that you are a coward."

Li Qiuyang raised his voice a little higher.

"Spread? What spread?"

"You don't know yet?"

Li Qiuyang usually jumped up and down in the grade, and there were many people who knew him. In addition, the quarrel between him and Guo Zining that day was loud enough, and gossip about him quickly spread in the boring campus life.

Xu Cheng explained briefly, and Li Qiuyang wailed.

"Damn it, Lao Xu. If I lose, how can I get around in the first place? You must help me win this game. There are many things to say. My adoptive father is a great kindness. I will definitely remember it in the future."

"Why didn't I see that you were so thick-skinned when you were a kid?"

"Hey, haven't I been fat since I was a kid?"

"Gungungun, what time will your team train tomorrow? Report the place to me."

Li Qiuyang told Xu Cheng the time and some words of affection between father and son before hanging up the phone. Only then did Xu Cheng see several missed calls on his cell phone, all of which were calls from Lin Wanzhou.

After thinking for a moment, he immediately remembered going to Lin Wanchu's house for dinner.

"I'll go, Li Qiuyang, you really didn't call me this adoptive father for nothing." The young man put down the phone and hurriedly got dressed and went out.

At noon, the glare of the sun made it difficult to open one's eyes. After being exposed to the sun for a while, Xu Cheng felt as if he was dehydrated into a fibrous state like a Trisolaran.

After finally reaching the door of Lin Wanchu's house, the young man felt that it was a bit inconvenient even if they were in the same community. It was so difficult to go to their house once.

It would be better to live next door. At night, he could climb onto the balcony and climb directly into Lin Wanchu's bedroom.

Knocked on the door, and soon the door was opened.

It was Lin Wanzhou who opened the door.

She wore a pair of home shorts, revealing her beautiful white legs. She was also licking a milky-white ice cream on her lips. There was white cream from the ice cream around her lips. Xu Cheng, who had slight obsessive-compulsive disorder, couldn't help but want to help. She dried.

"Why is the phone busy for so long?"

The coolness of the air conditioner, mixed with the girl's unique fragrance, hit Xu Cheng's nose.

He suddenly became a little intoxicated in the comfort of this summer.

"I was on the phone with Li Qiuyang, but I didn't see a call from you."

"Humph."

The girl hummed softly and leaned forward to give the boy plenty of room to enter without worrying about him being bumped into.

At this time, Gao Manman's voice also came from the kitchen.

"Xu Cheng is here? Wait a moment, there are still a few dishes left before we can eat."

"No need to do too much, Aunt Gao."

Looking around, he noticed that Lin's father was not at home. The young man stepped on his feet and put on slippers. However, his hands dishonestly reached towards the girl's lips and lightly wiped the cream on her lips.

Lin Wanzhu's lips were already smooth and soft, and felt great to the touch. Plus, after eating ice cream, they felt cold and soft when touched with his fingers, which made people feel a little desire to invade from the bottom of their hearts.

"I'm going to kill you."

The girl's eyes were filled with panic and she quietly blamed Xu Cheng.

After quickly confirming that her mother was still in the kitchen and had not seen Xu Cheng's bold move just now, she pouted and continued to stare at Xu Cheng dissatisfied.

Xu Cheng was no longer afraid of the girl's fierce gaze, so he put his fingers into his mouth with a satisfied look on his face and ate up all the cream stained on it.

Lin Wanzhou wasn't that angry anymore.

Occasionally, Xu Cheng's particularly bold move was a bit indescribably exciting.

But that didn't stop her from hitting him.

This is necessary.

If she didn't do anything, wouldn't it mean that the two of them were collaborating and colluding with each other? As long as she warned him, it would be Xu Cheng's unilateral harassment.The girl took her feet out of her slippers and stepped lightly on the guy's instep.

The soft and cool soles of the feet, stepping on the hot and hard insteps, feel like stepping on hot pebbles, with a bit of massage-like comfort.

His feet were still very big, and the girl's feet looked so small when she stepped on them, just a little bit.

The two sat down on the sofa.

Lin Wanzhou bit her ice cream stick and asked Xu Cheng curiously.

"I heard that Li Qiuyang is going to play a football match with the boy who is chasing Guo Zining."

Xu Cheng picked up an orange and peeled it, then glanced at her.

"You know about this too?"

"A lot of people know about it. They said that Li Qiuyang had an appointment with that boy for a football match, and they also agreed that whoever loses would get out of Guo Zining's side. Not only did I know about this, but Aning also heard about it. You boys are too childish. .”

"Why are you guys the only ones?"

Xu Cheng was not very happy, picked up the peeled orange and stuffed it into his mouth.

"It's okay for you to say that Li Qiuyang is childish, but don't take me with you. Besides, this is obviously a case of spreading rumors. Why did we make an appointment with whoever loses to get out? It's just that the school team's game happened to happen with him."

"That's it."

The girl bit the ice cream stick and swung her calves back and forth in boredom. She was sitting not far from Xu Cheng, so her calves would bump into his thick calves.

"Dinner is ready~"

Goldmanman carried a plate of dishes to the restaurant. When he saw the boys and girls sitting side by side on the sofa, he coughed at them with a complicated expression.

"What are the two of you talking about so obsessed with? Washing hands and eating."

"Oh."

The boy and girl got up and walked to the bathroom together.

Gao Manman frowned again.

Some behaviors can be concealed, but habits cannot be buried. Things like washing hands are done together. It can be seen that when she was not at home this year, these two children
Sighed.

At this point, Gao Manman is almost convinced that his daughter, the little cabbage, will definitely be taken away by his old Xu family.

Just by looking at the way Congee looked at Xu Cheng, the case was already closed.

It was a very special look, containing a series of emotions such as dislike, love, attachment, and admiration.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like you are looking at her dead ghost.

Of course, Gao Manman hid all this very well. With her skills, Xu Cheng had no way of knowing what this aunt was thinking.

The lunch was quite sumptuous, which suited Xu Cheng's appetite.

Compared with a year ago, not only the taste has become much better, but also with the experience of living abroad, Gaomanman also learned how to cook steak. The fried steak is tender and juicy.

"Xu Cheng, is Auntie doing well?"

"Ah, delicious Auntie Gao."

"Foreigners like to eat raw food. Our Chinese stomachs are not used to it, so it is better to eat cooked food."

Gao Manman said with a kind face, then wiped his mouth and said something to Lin Wanzhou.

"Porridge, please go out for a while. Mom and Xu Cheng have something to say."

Faced with these words, Lin Wanchu didn't have the courage to act coquettishly with Gao Manman. After all, she couldn't decide whether her mother was going to say something else or start a fight with Xu Cheng.

He gave Xu Cheng a look that said, "You'll be lucky if you ask for it." Then he slipped out of the restaurant, leaving Xu Cheng alone and uneasy.

"Xu Cheng, auntie heard that your company has been competing with Penguin for users in the past year?"

"Yes, yes."

Xu Cheng felt much more relaxed when he heard that the topic was about work.

“It’s not really about competing for users with Penguin, it’s just competing against their QQ space project.”

"That's pretty good. When I heard that you started a company, I thought it was just your father training you. I didn't expect that you would become famous."

Gao Manman's eyes were full of approval, and Xu Cheng couldn't help but become elated.

If someone's exaggeration is the most valuable to a man, then the answer must be his mother-in-law.

"It's just a small fight. Good luck."

"Haha, don't be humble in front of auntie. Auntie still remembers the first time she met you, when you had a battle of wits with the butcher shop owner. You were so clever when you were a child, and you are really amazing when you grow up."

"I don't even remember when."

"You were still young then."

Recalling what happened when he was young, Gao Manman also had a rare smile on his face.

"Okay, the main reason I called you here today is to talk to you about investment."

"invest?"

"I don't know if you heard what your parents said. My aunt is now working in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Since you are a company in my jurisdiction, you must be given the care you deserve."

Xu Cheng became a little excited.

We must know that the rise of any enterprise is inseparable from the protection and support of local policies. Why Penguin is Nanshan Pizza Hut and why Alibaba is rooted in Hangzhou are all complementary to each other.

However, I still cautiously confirmed with Goldmanman.

"You won't make mistakes, right Aunt Gao?"

"What are you talking about, kid?"

Gao Manman smiled at him and felt warm in his heart.

He would consider it from her perspective, and her efforts on this boy would not be in vain.

You must know that this time when she came back, she could choose any ministry, but she chose the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

She couldn't tell the reason for this.

Maybe it’s all about the next generation?
In the following time, Gao Manman briefly explained to Xu Cheng the investment she was talking about - Jingxin Capital.

It can be regarded as a positive signal sent by the local government to Internet companies. It established a new company controlled by Guoxin and invested by the local government. In essence, it is still owned by Guoxin. It was transformed into a new company in the form of a holding by Gao Manman. However, Need performance support.

Investing in Xu Cheng can be said to be recruiting Xu Cheng.

In the future, at a certain level, Xu Cheng will be Gao Manman's soldier. Of course, this is not just Xu Cheng's unilateral contribution. Gao Manman can also block certain troubles for Xu Cheng and even provide many policy benefits. Good news.

Both parties are in a mutually beneficial relationship.

Xu Cheng certainly had no objection to this.

Based on many years of observation and familiarity, it is certain that Goldmanman will not harm him, and the most important thing is that Goldmanman is a smart person, and standing on the same front with smart people is the best choice.

Xu Cheng agreed and immediately asked people from Su Yu and Gao Manman to start contacting him.

The two parties negotiate specific matters regarding investment.

Time passes day by day.

And the football game, which created a lot of gossip in the school, gradually kicked off.
