Rebirth: Growing Up Together

Xizhimen.

"Boss, how do you sell this?" Li Qiuyang looked at the shop stall curiously.

"Nai Pi, 10 cups for 3 yuan." The clerk in white chef's clothes introduced Li Qiuyang, "Little brother, you are from another place, so just drink it. This is our specialty. I have never said it is not delicious."

After hearing this, Li Qiuyang was eager to try it.

“10 cups for 3 yuan, how many cups for 5 yuan?”

"5 cups for 2 dollars." Seeing that the young man was interested, the clerk said happily.

Li Qiuyang thought for a few seconds.

"Then give me two for 5 yuan."

Store clerk: "???"

Damn it, you look chubby and like an honest man, but you are so cunning in doing things. Who did you learn this from?

After standing on the roadside for a while, drinking milk, a magnificent black Mercedes-Benz SUV stopped on the roadside.

The driver's door was pushed open, and Qiao Yiming, who was wearing sunglasses, got out of the car with a smile, "Long time no see, Qiuyang, why didn't you tell me that you came to Yanjing? I drove directly to the airport to pick you up."

Li Qiuyang glanced at him.

"I came by train."

"Let's go." Qiao Yiming stood in front of him and said, "Quanjude roast duck will be arranged for you today. Get in the car. Where is your luggage?"

"I didn't bring any. I didn't plan to stay here any longer." Li Qiuyang casually threw the milk skin box in his hand into the trash can, "Old Qiao, take off your sunglasses."

"Have you taken off your sunglasses?" Qiao Yiming was a little confused, thinking that Li Qiuyang might want to see what he looked like now, so he took them off with a smile, "My, my, we haven't seen each other for a long time, I shouldn't wear these." Sunglasses.”

"Come here again."

Li Qiuyang waved to him.

Qiao Yiming was stunned for a moment, thinking that maybe Li Qiuyang wanted to get closer and take a closer look at himself, so he moved closer.

"Is that okay?"

"Closer."

"..."

There was less than a meter between them.

The next second, Li Qiuyang's expression suddenly changed.

thump.

Qiao Yiming only saw Li Qiuyang raise his arm, and then his vision immediately went dark, and tears burst out of his eyes.

"Li Qiuyang, you are fucking sick!"

"Qiao Yiming, I'm so fucking blind. I thought of you as my brother in the first place. It's disgusting."

Li Qiuyang said this harshly, and then walked to the right.

Qiao Yiming held on to the telephone pole and raised his head to look at his back.

"You're not going to eat?"

"I'm going back to school, and I still have to catch the bus."

"You fucking came to Yanjing just to punch me?!"

"Yes."

Li Qiuyang didn't look back, just stood on the roadside and stopped a taxi with his hand.

The movement here attracted the attention of many people. Some kind-hearted people came over and asked Qiao Yiming if something was wrong, and if they wanted to help him hold down Li Qiuyang and call the police for him.

"No need, my brother did it."

Qiao Yiming tried his best to take a few steps forward. His left eye socket was now blue.

"Li Qiuyang, don't think that I'm sorry for Xu Cheng. Go ask Xu Cheng first, ask him how he treated me and whether he treats me as a friend."

Li Qiuyang opened the taxi door and stepped on it. After thinking about it, he got out again and glanced at Qiao Yiming.

"I have known Xu Cheng for more than ten years, and he has never treated any of his friends badly."

After saying that, he turned around and got into the car, the door slammed shut, and the taxi drove forward and quickly disappeared at the end of the street.

Qiao Yiming stood alone, covering his sore eyes, and didn't leave for a long time.

……

Magic City.

In Xu Cheng's office.

"Boss Xu, four more people are leaving Weibo." Bian Zixin reported to Xu Cheng, "Wanshan has been trying to poach our people with high salaries recently, and the salaries they offer are ridiculous, basically two to three times ours. And as for websites, many of Weibo's paid services are provided free of charge by Wanke.com, and their advertising and trending search prices are also much lower than ours. It's not an exaggeration to say that they don't charge any money."

"interesting."

Xu Cheng smiled and said, "This is because you are rich. You don't regard money as money, and you want to use resources to kill us."

Qingzhou's financial crisis was no secret to the senior management. Qiao Yiming naturally knew about it, so he directly chose the simplest and most effective way to play.

As the treasure in the palm of investors, Wanshan has a steady stream of capital injections, while Qingzhou is like a traveler in the desert with only a bottle of water left. Under the one-and-done situation, Qingzhou will soon die of thirst.

"Boss Xu, what should we do now? Many of our advertisers want to terminate their contracts with us." Bian Zixin asked with a frown, "And where did you take Sister Su Yu? The company is in such a difficult situation now. Without her in charge, many things really can't be done."

"Okay, Sister Bian, Sister Su Yu has her own things to do and can't come back for the time being, but she told me that she believes in your ability, and I also believe that you can handle the affairs that originally belonged to her very well." Xu Cheng looked at Bian Zixin seriously and said.

After listening to his words, Bian Zixin was moved by Su Yu, but also felt a little confident and confident in her heart.

"Are Gong Zhengxiong and Zheng Zhihao here?"

"Already arrived."

"Then call the senior management for a meeting."

"Okay, Mr. Xu."

Now on Weibo, Gong Zhengxiong and Zheng Zhihao are in charge.

The meeting was carried out very smoothly. Xu Cheng's order was very firm and almost shocked everyone.

"For Wanshan Computer Systems Co., Ltd., a Shanshan Office was established, with Bian Zixin in charge."

"If Wanshan poaches Qingzhou's employees, then Qingzhou will poach Wanshan's employees back with higher salaries."

“Wanke.com’s value-added projects are low-priced, and many are free.”

"Then Qingzhou's price is lower, and its free projects are more open than Wanke.com."

“Wanke.com’s advertising charges are low, and hot search prices are low.”

"Then the advertising charges here in Qingzhou will also be lower. The hot search prices will be adjusted downwards with the fluctuations of Wanke.com."

"In a word, we spend more money than Wanshan, but we make less money than Wanshan."

"If Wanshan is going crazy, then Qingzhou will be even crazier."

"If Wanshan doesn't make money, then Qingzhou won't make money either."

"Wanshan wants to fight."

"Then fight."

"Keep fighting until complete victory!"

Xu Cheng banged the table vigorously and said.

……

Spring blossoms.

May.

Magic City Art Museum.

"Over there, over there." Lin Wanzhou pointed. Xu Cheng raised his head and looked in the direction she pointed. He immediately saw the slender figure of Yu Yu.

"Long time no see, little fish."

Lin Wanzhou smiled and said hello, and Yu Yu nodded his head.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

She said this to Lin Wanchu, her beautiful eyes deliberately not looking at Xu Cheng.

Even if he looked at her a few times, he would be dodgy and evasive.

Xu Cheng praised naturally, "That's great, Yu Yu. You have already organized an art exhibition. Now you can be said to be our great painter friend."

"It was organized by my senior sister. Only a few of the paintings were drawn by me..." the girl whispered, "The teacher said that it would be better for me to show my face like this."

"Your teacher is really good to you. It seems that it was not a wrong decision to let you become his disciple." Xu Cheng said with a smile.

When Yu Yu was in high school, he became a disciple of Feng Xinqing. Feng Xinqing, as a master of calligraphy and painting in China, loved his apprentice very much and cared about him on the road of painting. At least so far, Yu Yu has been going smoothly.

"Where is your painting?" Xu Cheng asked.

Lin Wanchu suggested, "How about we guess and see who can guess it first."

"Okay, then don't talk about Yu Yu for now, let's take a guess."

"Ah."

Yu Yu raised his head and glanced at the two of them.

I have some small expectations for these two best friends who grew up together.

The walls were covered with paintings, and many people were browsing quietly. Xu Cheng and Lin Wanzhou also looked at them one by one. Some of the paintings were in a more open style, revealing more skin, and Lin Wanzhou blushed slightly.

"Did you paint this, Yu Yu?"

Lin Wanzhou asked, pointing to a picture of a graceful peacock.

Xu Cheng looked over there. What was painted in the painting was a peacock with a red mouth and mysterious eyes, a thin neck and enlarged breasts. It looked alive, but it was alone, giving off a sense of sadness.

Peacock is an auspicious bird. In Chinese paintings, peacocks are usually in pairs. Peacocks in pairs also symbolize perfect love.

But there is only one peacock in this painting, which looks a bit weird. There is no harmonious and beautiful image, but a sense of loneliness and sadness.

“I drew this…”

Yu Yu nodded.

Lin Wanchu poked Xu Cheng with his arm, "How about it? Can you guess it?"

"What are you still guessing? Aren't the names of the creators written underneath these paintings?" Xu Cheng said helplessly.

"You're really boring, so don't look at it and just guess."

"Ok."

Xu Cheng glanced at it for a few times, and his eyes stopped for a long time on a blue whale.

"Is this one?" he asked Yu Yu.

"Ah."

The girl nodded.

Xu Cheng stood in front of the painting with his arms folded, "When a whale falls, all things come to life. The life is like a roc rising, and the end is like a whale falling. I really like this painting."

Yu Yu looked at his side face, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.

……

at night.

Magic City.

A western restaurant.

"Your trip is too urgent this time. I was thinking of taking you to spend a few more days in the Magic City."

Hearing that Yu Yu would take the high-speed train back tonight, Lin Wanzhou felt a little regretful.

"I'm already very happy to meet you..."

Yu Yu stuttered, then looked at Xu Cheng again, "I, I heard... Qiao Yiming..."
