I found a cell phone from ten years ago.

Chapter 122 It’s time for a holiday
Monday is here again. From the 10th to the 12th is the concentrated examination period, and we have to take four courses in three days.

These days, apart from going to the company once a day, Li Xu spends the rest of his time busy reviewing and taking exams.

On the morning of the 12th, at around 8 o'clock, Li Xu and the brightly dressed Luo Jiahui went out together and took a bus to school to take the exam.

There are two exams today, English in the morning and advanced mathematics in the afternoon.

After finishing these last two courses, it’s time for vacation.

The Mercedes-Benz E300 stopped at the girls' dormitory in Building 2. Luo Jiahui opened the car door and got out, holding a red handbag. Li Xu also opened the door from the other side and got out.

"Honey, I'll go upstairs then." Luo Jiahui said to Li Xu with a smile.

She hadn't been back to the dormitory for several days and missed her roommates a little, so she planned to go back to the dormitory to check on them before the exam.

However, in Li Xu's opinion, she simply wanted to go back to the dormitory to show off her newly bought bag.

The royalties arrived two days ago, and Li Xu suddenly had an extra 96 yuan on his card, so he gave Luo Jiahui a Chanel bag.

This is also the most expensive gift he has given to Luo Jiahui since they were together - a Chanel 2.55 classic handbag worth more than yuan.

"Go up quickly." Li Xu said to Luo Jiahui.

"Hold me for a while, then I'll go up." Luo Jiahui opened her arms to Li Xu coquettishly.

Li Xu walked up to her and hugged her, "Okay."

"If you come out first after the exam, wait for me for a while. Let's go buy some vegetables together. I will cook at noon and let you taste my cooking skills again." Luo Jiahui let go of Li Xu and said with a smile.

These days, she bought some kitchen utensils and started learning to cook on a whim. However, her cooking skills were hard to describe. Either the dishes were too salty to swallow, or the heat was not controlled well, so the dishes were either burnt or half-cooked.

"Next time, I'm going to the company at noon." Li Xu said.

"Oh!" Luo Jiahui responded a little disappointedly.

She had known about Li Xu's company for a long time, and she had even gone with him to visit the company two days ago.

After Luo Jiahui walked into the building, Li Xu turned to Zhao Ying and said, "Xiaoying, you drive back first and come pick me up at noon."

After saying that, he walked towards Building 3, the boys' dormitory.

He hasn't been back to the dormitory for almost a week since he moved out on the 7th. Now that he's here, he might as well go back and take a look.

In the dormitory, He Weichen, Xu Haoyang, Shen Qiang, Li Guanfu, Zhao Jiazi and the other five were all there.

Seeing Li Xu walk in, Xu Haoyang immediately smiled and said, "Brother Xu, you finally came back. We thought we wouldn't see you again before the holiday."

He Weichen also said to Li Xu, "You're back just in time. We were just discussing that since we're going to have a holiday soon, the six of us in the dormitory should get together for dinner. Are you free tonight?"

"Okay." Li Xu nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

"Then meet at 6 o'clock in the evening on the third floor of the cafeteria." He Weichen continued.

"Can I bring my family members?" Shen Qiang asked with a playful smile.

This guy has recently hooked up with a girl. He said she is pretty, but he is very secretive and chats on his phone all day. I haven't seen him take the girl out on a date, and he refuses to reveal which school she is from.

"You really managed to get that girl?" Xu Haoyang said with some disbelief.

"That's about right." Shen Qiang raised the corners of his mouth, looking very proud.

He has finally turned his life around and caught up with a girl. He is no longer single.

"You can bring your family members. It will be more lively with more people. Li Xu, Guan Fu, you should bring your girlfriends as well." He Weichen said with a smile.

After a pause, he added, "I'll bring a friend with me then."

"Brother Chen, you have a girlfriend too?" Xu Haoyang said in surprise.

"When did you find it? You didn't even tell us." Li Guanfu also said with a smile.

"Not yet, we just met." He Weichen explained with a smile.

"Damn, how come all of you are single, and I'm the only one left." Xu Haoyang said a little depressed.

There are six people in the dormitory. Now Li Xu, Li Guanfu and Shen Qiang all have girlfriends, and He Weichen also has a target candidate. Only he and Zhao Jiazi are still without girlfriends.

However, it wasn't that Zhao Jiazi couldn't find someone, it was that he didn't want to. This semester, there were two or three girls who had actively pursued him, and there was also Liang Hui, a high school classmate who had a crush on him.

By this calculation, the only one who is truly single is Xu Haoyang.

"By the way, when are you planning to leave?" He Weichen asked as if he suddenly remembered something.

"I booked a train ticket for the day after tomorrow at noon," said Xu Haoyang.

"I'm leaving tomorrow morning," said Zhao Jiazi.

"I booked a ticket for the 15th. I will play with Peng Shan for two days before going home," said Li Guanfu.

The Peng Shan that Li Guanfu mentioned is his girlfriend, the girl in Class 1 of International Trade.

"Brother Chen, when are you leaving?" Xu Haoyang asked He Weichen.

"I'll leave after dinner tonight," said He Weichen.

His home is in Xianlin, and it's only five or six kilometers away, so he doesn't have to live on campus.

"Brother Xu, what about you? When are you leaving?" Xu Haoyang asked Li Xu again.

"I'm not in a hurry. I'll go back later." Li Xu said casually.

"That's right, you don't have to rush to rent a house outside." Xu Haoyang nodded.

After the winter and summer vacations, although students are still allowed to live in the school dormitories, the cafeteria will be closed. Generally, if students have nothing to do, they will go home as soon as possible after the vacation.

After chatting for a while, seeing that it was almost 9 o'clock, Li Xu went to the teaching building with He Weichen, Xu Haoyang and others to take the exam.

The difficulty of the freshman English test is relatively simple, even lower than the college entrance examination.

Li Xu finished the 2-hour exam in just over an hour, which included half an hour of listening time.

English is his strong subject. Even if he has not studied it for a single day this semester, he is still confident of passing the exam.

After finishing the test paper, Li Xu handed it in without checking it carefully.

For him, just passing the exam is enough. There is no point in getting a very high score, and he doesn't expect to get a scholarship.

After walking out of the teaching building, Li Xu took out his cell phone and made a call.

Soon, a Mercedes-Benz E300 drove over from a distance and stopped beside him.

After getting in the car, Li Xu said to Zhao Ying, "Let's go to the company."

He told Luo Jiahui in the morning that he was going to the company, but in fact he just didn't want to eat the "dark dishes" she made.

But now he has to have dinner with his roommates in the evening, so he has to go to the company at noon, otherwise he will have no time in the evening.

In Li Xu's opinion, Luo Jiahui only needs to be a vase, and learning to cook is completely unnecessary. When he buys a villa in the future, he will definitely hire a part-time worker and a nanny, and there will be no need for Luo Jiahui to cook or do housework.

However, since she wanted to show off, he couldn't directly discourage her enthusiasm.

It was already 11 o'clock when Li Xu arrived at the company.

When Chen Yuhui, Jiang Tao and others saw him coming, they just called out "Mr. Li" and continued to busy themselves with the work at hand.

This is what Li Xu requested. There is no need for small companies to engage in too much formalism. It is better to put all their energy into developing games.

"Mr. Li, I have revised the plan. Please take a look at it." Game planner Shi Lidong stood up and handed a folder to Li Xu.

Shi Lidong completed the initial design plan of "Temple Run" in less than two days after discussing it with Li Xu and Chen Yuhui. He has been making modifications according to Li Xu's requirements during these two days.

"Okay, I'll take a look later." Li Xu nodded to Shi Lidong and reached out to take the document.

Li Xu came to the inner office with the folder. He did not rush to look at the plan. Instead, he put the folder on the desk first and picked up the teacup to make a cup of tea.

Over the past few days, the office facilities have been fully equipped. The public rest area not only has instant coffee and tea, but also some snacks and drinks for employees to enjoy.

However, Li Xu doesn't like drinking coffee very much, he is more accustomed to drinking tea, and the tea he buys is not any expensive one, but just ordinary scented tea that costs dozens of yuan per two taels.

After brewing the tea, he sat down at his desk and began to look through the planning proposal.

Ten minutes later, Li Xu closed the folder.

In his opinion, there was no major problem with this plan.

The protagonist of the game is designed in the style of European and American characters, and monsters such as demon guards are also based on images in Western mythology. The game screen is designed to create a mysterious atmosphere, and the operation is simple and easy to use.

Although Li Xu didn't know what the original "Temple Run" looked like, it shouldn't be better than this design.

What we need to do now is to produce the game as soon as possible.

After drinking tea, Li Xu took the planning proposal to the outer office area, waved his hand, and called Chen Yuhui, Jiang Tao, Shi Lidong, and Wu Huiling together.

"I've looked at this plan and there aren't any major problems." Li Xu said, handing the folder back to Shi Lidong.

Then, he said to Chen Yuhui, Jiang Tao, and Wu Huiling, "Yuhui, Jiang Tao, and Huiling, follow this plan and make Temple Run as soon as possible."

Chen Yuhui and the other two nodded to show that they understood.

Li Xu asked Chen Yuhui again: "Can the development be completed in a week?"

After hearing this, Chen Yuhui said with difficulty, "One week is a bit tight. There are only four of us, so we may not be able to complete it."

"If time is tight, everyone can work overtime. If we're short on manpower, we can outsource some of the menial tasks. As long as we can complete the development on time, I will definitely not let you down."

Li Xu paused, then added, "Don't worry about overtime pay. I'll calculate it for you according to the legal standards."

When Chen Yuhui and the other three heard Li Xu's promise of overtime pay, they immediately became excited. They were not afraid of overtime. After all, the more overtime they worked, the more money they would earn. They were just worried that the company would make them work overtime for free.

For general small companies, free overtime and exploitation of employee labor are common practices.

A boss like Li Xu who is not only willing to pay overtime pay but also willing to calculate it according to legal standards is definitely a rare conscientious boss.

"Mr. Li, we will do our best to complete the development on time," Chen Yuhui said.

Then, Jiang Tao, Shi Lidong and Wu Huiling also expressed their opinions.

Seeing this, Li Xu nodded with satisfaction.

In fact, he was not really that anxious. He limited the development time to one week just to put some pressure on Chen Yuhui and the others.

After all, it is impossible for him to stay in the company to supervise all the time, and the work depends more on the subjective initiative of Chen Yuhui and others.

After finishing his work at the company, Li Xu did not stay in the company for long. He had a takeaway from the restaurant for lunch and left at around 1 p.m. because he had an exam in the afternoon.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xu finished his advanced mathematics exam and walked out of the examination room with Shen Qiang, going downstairs.

He Weichen, Li Guanfu, Xu Haoyang and the others handed in their papers early and left, leaving only him and Shen Qiang who didn't hand in their papers until the bell rang.

"Brother Xu, how did you do in the exam? I feel like I'm going to fail this time." Shen Qiang said with a frown.

"I'm just average, probably just barely passing." Although Li Xu said this, he was actually unsure in his heart.

During the one or two weeks of the exam period, he was busy with company matters most of the time and did not review much. For the most difficult advanced mathematics, he only guessed a few big questions, but in the end he didn't get any of them right.

During the exam just now, he just wrote the last few big questions randomly. How many points he got depended entirely on the mood of the teacher.

"If I had known earlier, I would have asked Guanfu to send me an answer." Shen Qiang said with some regret.

Li Guanfu found Zhang Chao, the boy with the best grades in advanced mathematics in the class, and asked him to send him the answers via his mobile phone after the exam. After he finished the exam and left, he sent the answers to He Weichen, Xu Haoyang, Zhao Jiazi and others.

Shen Qiang was a timid boy who didn't dare to cheat, so he didn't let Li Guanfu send him the answers.

As soon as he walked out of the teaching building, Li Xu saw Luo Jiahui standing outside the building waiting.

"Honey, you've finished the exam!" Seeing Li Xu coming out, Luo Jiahui immediately smiled and walked quickly towards him.

"Brother Xu, I'll leave first." Shen Qiang glanced at Luo Jiahui and said tactfully.

He used to be particularly envious and even a little jealous of Li Xu, but now he has found a very beautiful girlfriend, and his heart is finally balanced.

"How did you do in the exam?" After Shen Qiang left, Li Xu turned to ask Luo Jiahui.

Her bright smile instantly fell, and she said dejectedly, "What should I do? I'm definitely going to fail the exam. I can't answer any of the questions, and I guessed all the answers to the multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions."

"It's okay, I'll help you think of a solution." Li Xu said to her with a comforting smile.

"Do you have a solution?" Luo Jiahui's eyes lit up and she said in surprise.

"I'll buy some things tomorrow, and then we'll go visit Teacher Gao at his home together," said Li Xu.

The Teacher Gao he mentioned was the math teacher who taught them the international trade major.

University final exams are usually graded by the teachers. As long as you have a good relationship with the teacher, if you are a few or ten points short of the mark, the teacher will be a little flexible and give you more points for the usual exams, and you will pass.

"What score do you estimate you can get? Are you sure you can get more than 40 points?" Li Xu asked Luo Jia.

Luo Jiahui smiled sheepishly and said, "Not bad, probably only around 30 points."

Li Xu was speechless after hearing this. More than 30 points was too low a score. It was difficult to ask the teacher for leniency.

It depends on whether the teacher is willing to give him face.

In recent days, Li Xu not only accepted interviews from Jiangning TV Station, but also accepted interviews from several media outlets including Jiangning Evening News and Jiangning News Network, which can be regarded as bringing honor and glory to Yingcai College.

The dean of the School of Finance and Economics, as well as the president, talked to Li Xu, encouraged him, and said they would apply for him to be recognized as a provincial outstanding college student (model).

Now I have some face in front of the school leaders.
