Rebirth of the Rich Second Generation's Growth Diary

Chapter 124 Return to the First Round

After the competition, the noise outside the stadium gradually faded away, and the soft sunlight shone through the mottled leaves and fell on them, giving everyone a warm halo.

Naturally, nothing happened for a while, and Li Xu was not in a hurry to go back immediately.

Looking at the white clouds floating slowly in the blue sky, he thought to himself that he should relax for the rest of the time.

The first thing is to divide the spoils... no, divide the money.

In the hotel room, the curtains were half-open, and the hustle and bustle of the city outside the window could be faintly heard.

Although HS Company only appeared on the news broadcast for a few seconds, just these few seconds had doubled the price of HS Company's stock.

After all, everyone in the industry has heard of the Golden Sunflower Project.

Next, after Li Xu and his team's proposal is accepted, the demand for energy management chips will naturally surge, and HS Company will use that batch of defective chips as a basis to truly develop a dedicated chip specifically for energy management.

This is a huge market.

In the afternoon coffee shop, the aroma of coffee beans filled the air, and Li Xu and his team members communicated while tasting coffee.

Appearing on CCTV News Broadcast has brought immeasurable improvement in brand value, and it has also further enhanced He Tingbo's voice within the company.

In comparison, they only paid a seven-figure fee, which was a huge profit.

Of course, compared with the huge returns that HS Company has leveraged, Li Xu and his team cannot be said to have lost money.

The betting agreement allowed Li Xu to earn 5 million yuan. Originally, they needed HS chips to participate in this competition. In a sense, this 5 million yuan was picked up for free.

Such a large amount of money is a huge sum even for a rich second generation like him, but in fact he does not care much about it. What he values more is the opportunity to expand his own network of contacts, which are his own connections, not fake connections relying on his father's glory.

I gained the friendship of HS Company, especially Mr. He, which will definitely be useful when I really enter the business battlefield in the future.

Compared to my dad's company, HS Company is a behemoth in terms of both popularity and size... Of course, HS Company is not that amazing right now, but it just takes time.

Naturally, Li Xu also obtained Mr. He's private phone number.

After the news broadcast was broadcast, He Tingbo called immediately. On the one hand, he wanted to congratulate them, and on the other hand, he also expressed his gratitude. It was obvious that He Tingbo had gained a lot from the success of Li Xu and others.

After receiving the money, the natural question is how to distribute it.

Although the gambling agreement states that the funds are for scientific research, in fact, how the money is spent is entirely up to Li Xu and his team.

Li Xu took everyone to a sumptuous seafood dinner that night. In the private room, the crystal chandelier cast a dazzling light.

Then I waited until the waiter left before talking about the matter seriously.

Li Xu slowly began, "As everyone knows, this competition has brought us many unexpected gains. Our proposal has been accepted into the Golden Sunflower Project, and there's a buyout fee. However, the system's payment process is a bit lengthy, so the funds will be directly deposited into your respective accounts based on your equity proportions. The funds won't be disbursed until around the end of the year."

Li Xu estimated that after the money was transferred to everyone's card, it would be close to seven figures. He had the highest share of equity, which could be close to four million.

The amount has been fixed, so there is no need to discuss it.

Although everyone was very innocent when participating in this project, as students, no one had ever seen so much money, and everyone showed excitement on their face.

Xue Xue said blankly: "So much money, how should I spend it?"

Even the usually calm Ye Ruida couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that he would become rich before even entering college."

Among those present, only Liu Yunfei was deeply touched. He said with emotion, "So, many times, choice is more important than ability. I couldn't make this much money in a few years. I didn't expect that in such a short time, I could achieve something that I couldn't do in years before with Li Xu. Not only did I make money, but I also gained reputation and no longer had to worry about anything."

At this point, everyone is very clear about how important it is to follow the right leader. Strong ability is one thing, but only by choosing the right direction and taking the right path can you achieve twice the result with half the effort. However, not everyone can choose the right path and the right direction.

They all began to firmly believe in their hearts that there is a future in following Li Xu.

Li Xu smiled and said, "Today we are not mainly discussing the income from equity, but the research funding given to us by HS Company."

Lei Yinbing said directly and cheerfully, "You can distribute the money directly, or take it all. We have no objection."

He hesitated for a moment, then quickly changed his words: "At least I have no objection."

Ye Ruida also said: "You got the chip, and you also made the bet agreement. More importantly, you took all the risks, so the profit should be yours."

Li Xu looked at Xue Xue and Liu Yunfei, and naturally they had no objections.

But Li Xu shook his head and said seriously, "First of all, we are a team. When we did this, we agreed on our respective rights and interests from the beginning. So, after we achieve this goal, unless there are major changes, this point cannot be easily changed. I should bear the same responsibility as I enjoy the benefits. I cannot take more benefits because of this. This money should still be distributed according to the rights and interests we previously demarcated!"

They looked at each other, and everyone's breathing became heavier. It was hard to describe the excitement at that moment. After all, who doesn't love money?

At least no one present here has reached the state of mind where they don't love money.

It will take a long time to get the money from the state, but the money from HS Company can be distributed immediately. HS Company has already paid taxes on this money, so it can be distributed directly.

After the distribution, even Liu Yunfei, who had the lowest equity, received 500,000 yuan in cash. This amount of money was higher than the profits he had made from his previous few years of crappy business.

After Li Xu transferred the money to them on the spot, Liu Yunfei looked at the bright number on his mobile phone and burst into tears for the first time in his life, leaving the other three high school students present confused.

In the room, the air seemed to freeze, and in an instant, only Liu Yunfei's crying sound echoed.

After waiting for a while to vent his emotions, Liu Yunfei said to the others with tears in his eyes, "I'm sorry, I laughed at you, but to be honest, you haven't suffered in society, you haven't been beaten by society, you really don't understand what this money means to me."

He looked at Li Xu with a burning gaze and said seriously, "Although I am two years older than you, I have to call you brother. I'm leaving this to you. You have helped me find the direction of my life. From now on, no matter what you ask me to do, I will never frown."

Li Xu looked at Liu Yunfei's face full of the air of a gangster, and was speechless for a moment.

After a moment, he blinked and said, "Can I eat fish?"

Liu Yunfei and the others were stunned for a moment. They naturally didn't understand the meaning of Li Xu's words, but Liu Yunfei said very cheerfully: "Forget about eating fish. If you ask me to get you a giant panda paw now, I will do it for you."

"I'm just kidding. I don't want to eat fish, and I don't want you to give me panda paws." Li Xu's expression turned serious and he said, "I hope you can keep calm and improve your skills!"

Li Xu laughed heartily, his smile was unruly and presumptuous. He hadn't been so happy in a long time.

Rebirth is such a wonderful thing.

……

The next day after the division of the spoils, the sun was shining and the breeze was blowing gently. Li Xu drove and took a few people for a good tour of the capital.

They visited the most important sights.

The magnificent Forbidden City exudes a heavy historical atmosphere in the sunlight, and Tiananmen Square is crowded with people and national flags are flying.

They also went into the streets and alleys.

There are many shops on the street, and the sounds of hawking are heard one after another. A few people ate the roast duck that was sold to tourists. The roast duck was rosy in color, with crispy skin and tender and juicy meat. Although it was sold to tourists as a "scam", it had a unique flavor.

I also made a bet and drank a big bowl of soy milk.

Xue Xue still feels nauseous and retches whenever she thinks of the taste of soy milk. The unique sour and smelly smell is really unforgettable.

Such a happy few days.

Summer vacation is almost coming to an end.

Li Xucai arranged for everyone to fly back.

On the plane, several people sat in adjacent seats.

Xue Xue looked out the window at the jewel-blue sky, and suddenly felt a sense of emotion. She said leisurely, "After this competition is over, we won't have to spend all day in the lab when we go back."

Hearing Xue Xue's slightly sad tone, Ye Ruida and Lei Yinbing also fell silent.

Especially Lei Yinbing, he has become accustomed to spending time with them.

After returning this time, we lost our common goal, so there was naturally no reason to stay up late in the laboratory every day, eating instant noodles together to overcome difficulties for a difficult problem.

The days will become leisurely, but the sadness of parting will become more intense.

Li Xu tapped Xue Xue's forehead in annoyance and said, "Don't talk like we won't see each other anymore. Let's not talk about the upcoming senior year. We've all been admitted to university without taking the university entrance exam. We have a lot of free time now. We can get together anytime we want."

After a pause, Li Xu continued, "Life is long. We are only one-fifth of the way through it now. As long as everyone is willing, we will be friends and partners forever for the next four-fifths of our lives."

Li Xu could understand their feelings. After all, for high school students, they had not experienced a few separations. Just graduating felt like the sky was falling and the friendship was over.

Even if you stay in society for another ten years and experience a few more separations, you will understand that this kind of separation is nothing at all.

Although Xue Xue and the others still couldn't understand the meaning of Li Xu's words, they were still infected by Li Xu's calm mood, and the atmosphere of parting suddenly faded a lot.

Xue Xue said: "Then I want to be with you forever."

Upon hearing this, the other three boys were stunned and looked at Xue Xue with wide eyes.

Xue Xue finally reacted and quickly shook her head and said, "That's not what I meant. Don't look at me like that. It's disgusting. I'm going to poke my eyes out!"

Li Xu laughed heartily at the side. He looked at the clouds outside the window. These high school students...

……

After returning to Jinchuan City, the first person I want to thank is naturally Tang Qiaoning.

If it weren't for Tang Qiaoning's divine assist at the critical moment, they really wouldn't have been able to fight back. To express his sincerest gratitude, Li Xu specifically asked his father to ask Uncle Tang what Tang Qiaoning wanted most recently, intending to buy it and send it to her.

When Li Yuqian learned that Li Xu was going to give Tang Qiaoning a gift, he was a little surprised. He looked at Li Xu with a hint of doubt in his eyes, but ultimately did not ask any further questions.

But the answer made Li Xu speechless. What Tang Qiaoning wanted most recently was not something that could be easily bought with money. It was Uncle Liming's autograph.

It turns out that she has been obsessed with Dawn recently, so it is quite difficult to get this thing.

Li Xu had no choice but to settle for the second best and spent a lot of money to buy a wax figure of Leon Lai.

The figure is exquisitely crafted and lifelike, and his eyes and eyebrows are somewhat similar to Dawn.

It doesn't matter whether it's for money or not. After all, the assist Tang Qiaoning provided is far more valuable than this figurine.

Li Xu carefully put the figurine into a gift box with exquisite patterns, and then went to his garage.

The lights in the garage were dim, and luxury cars were parked quietly, like war horses waiting to go to battle.

He walked towards the Volvo XC90 because Li Yuqian always gave him the key to this car, on the grounds that this car was sturdier and more suitable for novices.

Li Xu was a little speechless, but he naturally couldn't refute. After all, from his father's perspective, he had only obtained his driver's license for a few months, and he was grateful that he could hand over the car keys to him alone. He shouldn't ask for anything more.

Li Xu drives skillfully.

After a while, he arrived at the high-end residential area where Tang Qiaoning lived.

The community has an elegant environment, shaded by green trees and surrounded by tall buildings.

The building where Tang Qiaoning lives has an elevator that goes directly to the house, and if there is no one inside to answer the call, you cannot go up.

Li Xu called Tang Qiaoning, but there was only a monotonous beeping sound in the receiver. Strangely, no one answered for a long time.

Now Li Xu was a little troubled. He stood downstairs and looked up at the familiar window. The sunlight shone on the glass, reflecting a dazzling light.

Just when I was hesitating whether to call Uncle Tang Rui, Tang Qiaoning called me.

As soon as Li Xu picked up the phone, Tang Qiaoning's sobbing voice came from the receiver: "Li Xu, I'm running away from home. Are you downstairs yet?"

Li Xu's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "What the hell are you talking about?"

……

The so-called running away from home was naturally just a statement made in anger.

Tang Qiaoning has never suffered much hardship or grievance in her life.

Li Xu didn't know what life was like in Amei's country, but there was no doubt that living with his father after returning to China was relatively strict.

For some unknown reason today, Tang Qiaoning and Tang Rui probably had an argument. It seemed that Tang Qiaoning was criticized, and the little girl was so angry that she said she wanted to run away from home.

Of course, these are just Li Xu's guesses.

After picking up Tang Qiaoning and getting her in the car, Li Xu said, "This is really a headache. If you were in a better mood, you would be happier if I gave you this gift. But you're a little sad now, so I hope this gift can make you happier."

Tang Qiaoning was indeed attracted by the exquisite gift box. She held the gift box and looked at it carefully, her eyelashes trembling slightly with tears on them.

After a moment, with a slight tremor from crying, she asked, "What is this?"

Li Xu smiled and said, "Open it and take a look."

Tang Qiaoning opened the gift box and saw the wax figure of Leon Lai inside. A smile of surprise immediately spread across her face and she said, "Wow, Andy Lau."

Li Xu almost stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake. He turned his head to look at Tang Qiaoning, but saw that she was smiling so hard that she was leaning forward and backward.

Good man, are you kidding yourself?

He wanted to skip this topic and asked, "By the way, why did you want to run away from home?"

Tang Qiaoning sighed slightly and said, "My dad looks down on me."

Li Xu said with a smile: "Why would your father look down on you?"

Tang Qiaoning said seriously, "My dad said that he hopes I can marry a man with good character in the future." Tang Qiaoning turned her head to look at Li Xu and said, "He won't let me join his company."

Li Xu smiled dumbly and said, "So you want to run away from home. You are really a child."

Tang Qiao was very angry, but when she thought about the fact that they were in the car at the moment and safety was the first priority, she held back. Otherwise, she would have wanted to test whether the soft flesh around Li Xu's waist was soft or not.

Tang Qiaoning asked: "Where are we going now?"

Li Xu thought for a moment and said, "Let me take you racing."

Tang Qiaoning's eyes lit up, but after a moment's hesitation, she said, "A two-person go-kart? I've gotten used to that speed. It's boring."

Li Xu smiled and said, "No, this time you drive and I'll sit in the passenger seat."

Tang Qiaoning suddenly showed a surprised expression and subconsciously asked, "Can I too?"

Li Xu nodded: "Let's try it."

This was the first time Tang Qiaoning drove a two-person kart with Li Xu.

Although she had driven a go-kart alone before, the experience this time was completely different. The two of them got in the car and fastened their seat belts. Tang Qiaoning looked at Li Xu who was sitting next to her with a calm expression. Suddenly, a bad idea came to her mind. When she thought of that scene, she became extremely excited and eager to try it.

Tang Qiaoning put on her helmet and said seriously, "Hold on tight."

Li Xu smiled slightly. Are you kidding? How can a little girl scare you?

But the next moment, Li Xu's smile stopped. The more skilled a driver is, the less confident they'll feel when they sit in the passenger seat of someone else's car, especially if the driver's skills are poor. Conversely, if a person's driving skills aren't great to begin with, they won't be too upset when they sit in the passenger seat of a rookie, because they can't tell the difference.

When Tang Qiaoning stepped on the accelerator with her clumsy technique, Li Xu could no longer remain calm.

After enduring for a few minutes, he finally started yelling, "Slow down! Slow down!"

"Turn!"

"It's about to hit!"

"That's not how you usually drive!"

After getting off the car, Tang Qiaoning took off her helmet, shook her hair gently, looked at Li Xu next to her, and saw that his face was pale. She couldn't help laughing for a moment.

Tang Qiaoning smiled mischievously: "Oh, so you are so timid."

Li Xu said unhappily, "You usually drive a go-kart at a very stable speed of less than 30 mph. What medicine did you take today?"

Tang Qiaoning put one hand on her waist, her eyes flickering with strange emotions as she said, "You're in the car, what should I be afraid of?"

Li Xu calmed down, tapped Tang Qiaoning on the forehead, and said, "Say that again next time I'm behind the wheel."

On the way back, the bad mood caused by the family conflict between father and daughter had completely disappeared. Tang Qiaoning hummed a little tune happily, looking at the scenery flying away outside the window. She suddenly turned around and asked Li Xu: "By the way, how were the results of the scientific research competition?"

Before Li Xu could tell others the result of the competition, he shook his head and said, "I didn't get first place."

Tang Qiaoning was stunned for a moment, then comforted her, "It's okay. It's already impressive to be able to enter the national competition. So, where did you guys place?"

Li Xu said calmly, "Only second place."

Tang Qiaoning was stunned for a moment, blinked, and was speechless for a moment.

She thought of something and said, "Oh, I heard that scientific research competitions can get you a place in the university."

Li Xu turned his head and looked at Tang Qiaoning, then said, "None of those science and engineering colleges want me."

Tang Qiaoning opened her mouth slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then comforted her, "It's okay. Your family is rich anyway. If you can't get in, then you can't get in."

Li Xu said, "But I was admitted to the School of Management of Peking University and Tsinghua University."

Tang Qiaoning rolled her eyes for a moment and raised her hand to hit Li Xu, but hesitated for a moment and slapped the armrest of the car. She said unhappily, "You're courting death!"

Only then did Li Xu burst into laughter.

"Can you tell me what happened during your competition? It must be interesting, right?"

"It's a long story..."

Tang Qiaoning looked at the road ahead and picked up the Liming figurine again. She looked at it carefully, then glanced at Li Xu. Suddenly, she smiled and said, "Li Xu, do you know that you actually look a bit like Liming?"

Li Xu touched his chin: "Really? Then I'll give you an autograph next time."

Tang Qiaoning smiled, but Li Xu didn't see it.

Tang Qiao stared at Liming's figurine, then secretly glanced at Li Xu and smiled again.

It's a very personal smile.
