Said to invite "you".鶁

But in fact, Li Zhibin and Yao Yuanyuan only invited two people.

In mid-December, on Yao Yuanyuan's birthday, Li Zhibin, who flew back from Kyoto, rushed to the Ocean International Building as soon as he got off the plane.

Not finding Yao Yuanyuan in the financial department, Li Zhibin had to go around to Xu Xing's office, knocked on the door, opened the door and walked in.

The afternoon sunshine is very good.

The setting sun shone in from the floor-to-ceiling window behind Xu Xing, casting a patch of light and shadow on his body, and outlining the outline of his face with sharp edges and corners.

Hearing the movement, Xu Xing raised his eyes and looked over. When he saw Li Zhibin, he raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Are you here so early?"

"Where's Sister Yuanyuan?" Li Zhibin sat down on the sofa, poured himself a glass of water, and asked, "Why didn't I find her in the finance department?"

"She just asked for leave at noon and went home." Xu Xing said, "She said you wouldn't come back until dinner in the evening. How come you're here after two o'clock?"

"Going home?" Li Zhibin suddenly looked disappointed, "I didn't want to give you a surprise, so I came back earlier."

"What surprise do you have?" Xu Xing curled his lips, "Come on, just stay here, we will go there together in the evening."

"Then I might as well go find her first."

"That's okay." Xu Xing nodded, "When you have a woman, you forget about your brothers. I remember that."

Li Zhibin: "...I still remember the one who stepped on the horse. I carried all the sheets and quilt covers all the way, and you took them over when I arrived at the door of the Internet cafe box!"

"Ahem... If a hero doesn't mention his bravery in the past, then don't mention it again when the story is about to turn."

"Hey." Li Zhibin rolled his eyes, "Can you come earlier? I still want to go over and help. I can't let her cook all the food on her birthday, right?"

"Okay, I'll get off work at four o'clock." Xu Xing looked at the time and said, "But why don't you find a restaurant?"

Li Zhibin scratched his face in embarrassment: "Actually, I was planning to find a restaurant at first, but Sister Yuanyuan said she wanted to cook a meal for me... Originally I was worried that I would be a little embarrassed if Aunt Pei was here,

But I heard that Aunt Pei was on a business trip recently, so I was thinking..."

"It's quite exciting to think about going to someone's home, isn't it?" Xu Xing chuckled.

"You know it's very obscene coming out of your mouth!"

"That's about the same thing." Xu Xing said while looking at the documents in the mailbox, "I'm quite curious. You two didn't seem to have confirmed your relationship during the summer vacation, right? How did you get along well later?"

"Uh..." Li Zhibin blinked, looking confused, "It's just... we got along so well... We dated during the summer vacation, and then I went back to Kyoto, and she came to Kyoto on a business trip, and we also went out for a meal.

Go to the movies, go shopping or something."

"And I've confessed my love before... maybe it's just acquiescence, right?"

Xu Xing touched his chin and tasted it carefully, then sighed: "I thought there would be some wonderful process."

"That's definitely not as exciting as you." Li Zhibin curled his lips. With the support of his girlfriend, he felt more confident in speaking, "I think love is just plain and ordinary. If it's ups and downs like yours, I'm afraid.

He died suddenly."

Xu Xing was speechless: "I really thank you."

After chatting for a while, the two of them became quiet. Xu Xing was typing on the keyboard, and Li Zhibin was using his mobile phone to watch live broadcasts and play games when he had nothing to do.

It was around three o'clock. After Xu Xing finished the work at hand, he stretched out against the back of his chair and twisted his neck to relax his muscles.

Then he asked: "How is it over there in Kyoto? Are you doing well after more than a year?"

"That's what you said." Li Zhibin scratched his head, "I don't even know how to reply."

Without Xu Xing, Li Zhibin can probably imagine his future life trajectory.

Looking back at the past from the current perspective, without Xu Xing's support, getting admitted to Peking University might have been the pinnacle of his life.

Even if he successfully graduates from the finance major in the future, without much family background, it will be difficult for him to make a big difference in this field.

Li Zhibin has been in contact with many seniors, chatted with teachers and professors at school, and communicated with many company founders and people from investment institutions. Li Zhibin has grown quite rapidly.

To put it bluntly, although the financial industry makes money, it actually has nothing to do with the financial services industry.

Li Zhibin, who graduated from Peking University, may be able to achieve something in the future, but to reach the same height as now, it may take decades of hard work and great luck.

Of course, what Li Zhibin didn't know was that if Xu Xing hadn't intervened, he would have been killed by a car on the way to catch a rapist before he graduated from college.

Now that he has gained a girlfriend like Yao Yuanyuan, Xu Xing's merits can be considered complete, and he no longer has to worry about A Bin making the same mistakes again.

"Have you eaten the takeaway? There is actually very little that I need to do. I just need to cooperate with Zhang Nong."

Li Zhibin said seriously, "At Qunxing Investment, you send a few company information from time to time, so I have to spend a lot of time leading the team to do research."

"This year we have invested in many companies one after another, and this business is getting bigger and bigger."

"It's okay to simply invest money, but the difficulty lies in follow-up supervision to prevent companies that have received the money from spending money indiscriminately. This is really impossible to completely prevent."

“Sometimes when something fishy is found out, I feel heartbroken.”

"This kind of thing is unavoidable." Xu Xing said, "Just try your best."

The company has grown bigger and there has been more investment. Although Xu Xing invested in companies that have made great achievements in later generations, there is no guarantee that none of these people have enriched their own pockets.

Many things cannot be completely eliminated and can only be continuously optimized from the contract, system and execution levels.

"Let's talk about something happy today." Xu Xing leaned back in his chair, tilted his head back and relaxed, "Do your parents know that you have a girlfriend?"

"...I don't know yet."

"You didn't say?"

"I don't know what to say." Li Zhibin scratched his head, "I'm so embarrassed."

"Does Aunt Pei know?"

"You probably don't know yet, right?" Li Zhibin didn't know, "Sister Yuanyuan didn't say anything about it either."

"That means I haven't met my parents yet." Xu Xing clicked his tongue twice.

"Can you please stop looking like a gossip?"

"Brother, why don't you care about you?" Xu Xing rolled his eyes at him, "Then she invites you to her home to celebrate your birthday. The meaning revealed in this is very interesting."

"What's the point of this?" Li Zhibin was speechless, "It's just a birthday."

"It's very simple." Xu Xing raised a finger and asked from his soul, "If we play until very late, do you want to stay the night?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Zhibin became silent for a moment, his face gradually turned red, and he hesitated: "Way, spend the night?"

Li Zhibin, who was still in the stage of holding hands and hugging Yao Yuanyuan, heard the word sleepover, and his brain almost went out of control.

After all, if he really had to spend the night, it would be the first time in his life that he slept at a girl's house.

Just thinking about it makes my palms sweat.

"Then should I bring my own change of clothes and toiletries?" Li Zhibin asked this question after a long silence.

"Your brain circuit is quite strange."

...遁

Yao Yuanyuan's home.

Yan Chijuan, whom she hired as a coolie, was helping peel garlic in the kitchen, while Yao Yuanyuan was wearing an apron and preparing vegetables.

From buying groceries at noon to preparing the ingredients, the two of them walked out of the kitchen at two o'clock in the afternoon and sat on the sofa to rest.

Then Yao Yuanyuan laughed.

"If someone doesn't want to, he can go back now."

"I didn't say I didn't want to." Yan Chijiu turned away, "I just came here to celebrate your birthday."

"Even if my mother doesn't come, I won't be missing you either." Yao Yuanyuan chuckled, "You're still a light bulb if you stay here."

"You called me over to help. You can't even give me a meal, right?"

"Of course not." Yao Yuanyuan slumped down and stretched directly on the sofa. "There are just some people who know that they are going to see their ex-boyfriend, but they have no intention of avoiding it."

"We can still be normal friends after we break up." Yan Chijie's expression did not change, "Besides, why did you invite me and Xu Xing to your birthday date with Li Zhibin?"

"After all, this is A Bin's first time coming to my house. I was afraid that he would be too nervous, so I asked him to bring a friend with him. It would be more lively if there are more people."

"I don't know when you suddenly got better." Yan Chijie shook his head, still feeling a little magical.

From her perspective, although Li Zhibin and Yao Yuanyuan knew each other as early as last year, they are four years apart, one has just entered college and the other has graduated from college.

Regardless of age, experience, or personality, there is no feeling that we can get together.鶁

"I also thought it was strange at the time." Yao Yuanyuan covered her mouth and laughed, "She confessed to me very suddenly. I also hesitated for a while before making up my mind."

"A Bin is pretty good." Yan Chijie nodded in agreement, "At least he is honest."

"There is something in your words." Yao Yuanyuan glanced at her and said with a half-smile, "I feel a bit resentful."

"Just don't let A Bin learn bad things from someone." Yan Chi's jealousy was revealed by her words, and his voice became duller.

"I'm not worried about that." Yao Yuanyuan said, "Although I don't want to say this in front of you, Xu Xing is indeed very good."

"With a man of his caliber, you would be hard-pressed to find someone cleaner than him..."

"Although it is a bit inappropriate to say this, reality is often dirtier than imagined."
