The leisurely life of rebirth

"Mr. Zhou, this place is not suitable. You just arrived, so take a rest first. We'll talk again when you're done." After a brief chat, Brother Xiao Ma found that the other party also had interest, so that made the situation easy.

I'm not afraid of a high offer, I'm afraid of having nothing to negotiate.

Zhou You nodded: "Okay, you go ahead and do your work, we'll talk about it in the evening."

There was a crowd of people surrounding me. Although they were quite far away, I still felt a little uncomfortable standing there and being watched by others.

In particular, some people took out their mobile phones to take pictures.

After the two exchanged contact information, Zhou You went to check in first.

The hotel is also very distinctive. In order not to destroy the overall style of Wuzhen, the hotel is not a high-rise building. It is a traditional courtyard-style hotel, or it can be said to be a villa, only two stories high.

Following the butler in front, we walked in and saw a separate courtyard.

Zhang Yiming also took into consideration Zhou You's entourage, who all happened to live together.

"Brother Ming, you go and do your own thing. I'll go walk around by myself later. This place is really nice." Zhou You felt a little embarrassed seeing that Zhang Yiming had been accompanying him all the time.

"Hey, I came here to take a rest this time. There's nothing to do. If I keep busy every day, I'll be exhausted if I don't take a break." Zhang Yiming looked indeed tired.

It turns out that the company's rapid development, supported by passion, is inevitably accompanied by many contradictions.

With more people and a larger department, the things we consider are different.

The world hasn't been conquered yet, and everyone is starting to slack off and want to rest on their laurels. I sometimes have the same thought.

This time, I come here to relax and also to put pressure on myself, to look at the big guys ahead and to give myself some motivation.

Zhou You pointed outside and said with a smile: "When you come to the Jiangnan water town, where the Wu dialect is spoken, you must go sightseeing."

"I just arrived yesterday and didn't have time to go. It's a good opportunity for us to go together." Zhang Yiming said

"Hehe, I heard that the opera here is very nice, but I haven't heard a live version." Old Chen was also very excited, as if he was back to the scene when Zhou You took them to meet the female star.

"Haha, that's what I was thinking. I really like the song 'Sheng Sheng Man'. Let's go and see which one sings it well." Zhou Youle was overjoyed.

What can a few men do together?

Come here to have fun.

Lao Chen went out to call the housekeeper. This hotel is considered the most high-end hotel in Wuzhen. As it is during the Internet Conference, the service attitude is even better.

To put the demand simply,
The housekeeper understood immediately: "Well, no problem, I'll take a few people over right away, there are several who sing well, which one do you want to listen to?"

Zhou You shook his head: "Since we are here, let's all go and listen. You lead the way."

After saying that, he stood up.

"Okay, currently there are teahouses, restaurants, and bars that provide opera services. I will take you on a tour of them all, and also take you on a brief tour of the water town style of our Wuzhen." The housekeeper was a young woman in her twenties who looked like she had just graduated.

When he speaks, it's not standard Mandarin, but a hint of Wu dialect. I don't know if it's for the sake of characteristics or if he really has an accent.

Soft and cute.

Zhang Yiming and Lao Chen went to change their clothes. They felt a little restrained wearing what they wore to go out and play, so they decided to go out and wear casual clothes.

It’s good to be young, and you can still look sunny when wearing sportswear and casual clothes.

The butler is arranging the route.

The town is not big, it consists of two parts, East Gate and West Gate. The whole scenic area is only about 2 kilometers. The most famous person among them is Mao Dun. Yes, the famous writer is from here.

Here are Mao Dun's former residence and Mao Dun Memorial Hall.

"Hello, everyone. Welcome to Wuzhen. I would like to temporarily act as your tour guide. I hope you all enjoy it." The butler's personality is still quite lively, which means that Lao Zhang's face is not yet well known to everyone.

Unlike several other giants, everyone has seen their faces.

"Wait, we're going to take a cruise first, then go to the Mao Dun Memorial Hall, and there's also a White Lotus Pagoda. I'll introduce the rest to you as we walk."

There is no rush to travel around, it's fun.

Sitting leisurely on the boat, he suddenly asked, "Can you fish here?"

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, as if it was the first time he encountered this question. He had never asked this question to anyone who stayed in this hotel. They all stayed for one night and left. Besides, only big shots could stay here. How could they have time to fish?

But after thinking about it, he said, "Of course you can go fishing. As a water town, our food used to be all kinds of fish. But now the scenic area is getting bigger and bigger, and we need to fish in a special place. There are so many boats coming and going here that you can't catch any fish even if you want to."

"Haha, that's fine. Let's talk about it when we have time." Zhou You didn't pursue the matter further.

Zhang Yiming couldn't help but ask: "Do you still like fishing?"

"Of course, fishing is so comfortable. One person has a rod, and you sit there and just watch the float. You don't have to think about anything else. What a great way to relax." Zhou You said casually.

Whether or not you can catch fish really doesn’t matter now.

The key is to find a scenic spot, place the pole there, lean back in a comfortable hanging chair, listen to music, and look at the beautiful scenery.

One of life's great pleasures.

"I can't do it. I can't calm down." Zhang Yiming shook his head. He really had no interest in fishing. He always felt that it was a sport for the elderly.

“Haha, you’re the big boss and you’re busy, but you can take a look at the big data of videos released by your company. The stickiness of the fishing sector is still very strong.” Zhou You said simply.

As a workaholic, Zhang Yiming usually doesn't pay attention to these things. After listening, he immediately took out his mobile phone to check.

"Hey, hey, if you're out here to have fun, stop watching. Let's talk about it when we get back. It's not a very urgent matter." Seeing that this guy was really ready to start working on the spot, Zhou You quickly stopped him.

Old Chen sat there and couldn't help but say, "This place is great. When I retire, I'll live here."

"Hehe, then the mosquitoes will bite you to death." Zhou You said to him in disappointment.

It's beautiful to look at it every day, and it will annoy you to death.

The best place to retire is actually a big city. As long as you have money, it will be very comfortable.

There is no need to go into the deep mountains and forests. That is what losers do. Rich people can still find leisurely and secluded places in the downtown area.

Old Chen shook his head and sighed, "It's just a thought. I don't know when I can retire. Thanks to you two, I can still make some money, but there are many places that need money. I have elderly parents and young children to take care of. I am a middle-aged man and I am tired."

Zhou You patted his shoulder and said, "Old Chen, you're tired. You're tired all the time without money. Weren't you tired when you were in school? Weren't you tired when you just graduated? Don't think too much. Live in the present. Don't wait until you retire to do everything."

After that, he looked around and said in a low voice:

"It's hard to say whether people these days can live to retirement, so why think so far ahead?"

Everyone couldn't help laughing when seeing Zhou You like this. He is a big boss, yet he is so down-to-earth!
If you have nothing to worry about, it is a good time in the world. Now everyone has no pressure, sitting in the small teahouse, ordering a few cups of tea, watching the steaming green tea, a mood arises spontaneously.

Zhou You doesn’t like drinking tea, but without tea to embellish this environment, it always feels like something is missing.

There was someone on the stage playing a classical instrument, the guzheng.

She was sitting there in ancient costume with long hair, with the bridge and flowing water beside her.

In a trance, Zhou Youdu thought he had traveled back to ancient times and became a rich young man, living a carefree and wealthy life.

"Boss, can you please order some music?" Zhou You felt comfortable sitting there and wanted to listen to something with lyrics.

The boss saw that this group of people was unusual, and there was a group of people sitting behind them in Ulala, so he quickly stepped forward and said, "You can order, but you have to pay separately."

"No problem, just sing a song of 'Sheng Sheng Man'." Zhou You said.

After hearing this, the boss was stunned for a moment, turned around to look at the singer, and found that the other party was also full of doubts, with confusion in his eyes.

"I'm really sorry, this is the first time we've heard what you're talking about. We don't have this song."

Zhou You immediately realized that this piece of music was either not popular yet or it had not been released yet, and he quickly said, "There is no adaptation of Li Qingzhao's piece, right? It doesn't matter if there is no adaptation, just sing a few random pieces."

After saying that, Li Houliang stepped forward and paid in cash.

Convenient payment is not as popular now as it is later, and everyone still carries some cash when going out.

The soft Wu dialect is intoxicating, but it is a little difficult to understand.

Later, larger teahouses had electronic display screens specifically for playing lyrics to give everyone a better experience.

Otherwise, it sounds nice, but I just can't understand it.

Next, Zhou You felt a little bored, not because he came here to listen to the song, but because he was wondering why he could still say something unconsciously after such a long time. It was not a big deal, he just had to cover it up.

Could it be that I haven’t fully adapted to my current life yet, or is this just a dream?
Everyone could see that Zhou was not in high spirits and only visited a few scenic spots in a hurry.

Zhang Yiming said, "Brother You, they have a dinner party tonight, do you want to join us?"

"What dinner party?" Zhou You asked subconsciously.

"During the Internet Conference, some Internet CEOs get together to have dinner and chat. They also invited me this year. I guess they didn't know you were coming. If they had known you were coming, they would have definitely invited you." Zhang Yiming explained briefly.

It turned out that he had never participated in it and was not very familiar with the process.

Zhou You understood what was going on. This was the later gathering of Internet tycoons. They sat there one by one, took a photo, posted it online, and then began to analyze them one by one.

It's also quite interesting.

Zhou You is hesitating. Eating is no problem, but he mainly doesn't want to take pictures. If you are with these big guys, you will become famous even if you don't want to, and you can't hide it.

While I was hesitating, Shen Beipeng called me and asked, "Are you in Wuzhen?"

"Well, how did you know?" Zhou You was a little surprised.

"I just met Brother Xiao Ma, and he told me that there is a dinner party in the evening and he wants to invite you to join. Would you do me a favor?" Shen Beipeng said politely. He had to be polite because this game was so popular.

Shen Beipeng didn’t know how big a bargain he had picked up by following behind, the return on his investment was too quick.

In the past, investment companies were rarely able to cash out so quickly.

Who would have thought that it would develop so rapidly in less than a year.

Not only that, because of the popularity of this game, several major domestic gaming giants also came to him, wanting to get a piece of the pie.

To be honest, even as an outsider, I can see that if this game is managed well, it will be a treasure trove.

Zhou You laughed and said, "I'm with Yiming. My brother has invited us, so I'm going to go. But I've also heard that you like taking pictures. You know me. I won't take pictures when the time comes."

"Haha, you are so low-key. You have such great strength, yet you are so cautious. Okay, everyone has heard of you and wants to meet you." Shen Beipeng joked. He himself is a relatively low-key person, but compared with Zhou You, he is really a dwarf compared to a giant.

When Zhang Yiming saw Zhou You was also going, he felt inexplicably more confident.

I was just a minion back then, but now I am qualified to do it.

Zhou You noticed that Zhang Yiming let out a sigh of relief and his body relaxed a lot. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "You will be a big boss sooner or later!"

Every time Zhang Yiming heard Zhou You say this, he would be full of confidence and fighting spirit. He didn't know why, but he always felt that what he said could come true.

"Huo Yuanjia, when were you number one in Tianjin?"

"Just today, just today!"

Zhang Yiming inexplicably popped up these words in his mind. Yes, today, it can be considered as recognition.

When it came to Toutiao, the end of its development path was clear at a glance. Now that there is a short video platform, he himself doesn’t know how far the company can go.

Then, everyone's mood improved.

Zhou You also wanted to see these big guys who have already become famous. He was unwilling to get close to them before, but now that he has met them, he can at least see the sights.

In the blink of an eye, it was night.

The number of people had been decided long ago, with Zhou You being the only one added at the last minute. At first everyone was worried that it was inappropriate to invite someone to dinner at the last minute, but they couldn't help their curiosity.

Zhou You is not well-known in the eyes of the general public, but among this group of people, he is considered to be a little famous, although most people have only heard of him but have never seen him in person.

"Old Shen, how old is Zhou You?" Zhou Hongyi asked carelessly, his personality was also the most changeable.

Shen Beipeng saw that everyone was looking at him curiously, and smiled bitterly: "Probably around 30, anyway, he is the youngest among us."

"Is it true? You are so young, but you have such a good vision?" Zhang Lei couldn't believe it. Investing is a matter of both metaphysics and strength.

Brother Xiao Ma interrupted at this time and said, "I just saw him this afternoon. He is indeed very young. If it weren't for an acquaintance introducing him, I wouldn't have dared to recognize him."

Seeing this big man speak, everyone became more curious.

Heroes emerge from youth, but what era was that? It was a barbaric era.

Now, the world has already been decided, and there is no fertile land left for others. I didn’t expect that a dark horse would emerge.

Zhang Yiming is already considered a very dark horse, but there are horses that are darker than him.

"Old Shen, you'd better say more good things for me later." When Xiao Ma Ge said this, he also glanced at Ding Lei. They are all bigwigs in the gaming industry, and they are competitors this time.

Shen Beipeng shook his head and smiled bitterly. This was also the reason why he wanted to travel around. He couldn't make the decision alone, and he couldn't bear the pressure from these old friends! (End of this chapter)
