On the night of the first day of junior high school, Xia Ruxuan received a call from Qin Yun.

Qin Yun smiled in front of Xia Ruxuan as if it would always be the same, she said Happy New Year to the wood, and then talked about life during this time, as well as some interesting anecdotes about learning IELTS in other places, and then Qin Yun was silent for a while, she said that I will take the IELTS test next month, and if everything goes well, I will go to the UK in June.

Xia Ruxuan asked strangely how it was possible for a school to start so early, and she said that because someone in the family was there, she went to familiarize herself with the environment over there. Finally, before hanging up the phone, Qin Yun said casually, wood, you have to be happy.

Xia Ruxuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"Why don't you speak, you think I'm jealous?" Qin Yun chuckled, "Hey, I'm not a child anymore, if you have anything you like, you must grab it in your hands." Actually, that's good, you're going to be smiling at me all the time, you're going to be my wood anyway, right? At the end, her voice suddenly lowered, like an almost inner whisper, "So don't think about it, I'll take good care of myself, good." ”

"Well, that's right." Xia Ruxuan looked up at the night and nodded. Even if he knew that the wood in his heart had long since disappeared, gradually lost in the fall and desolation of many years ago.

"Well, don't talk about it, my mom called me." Then the phone cuts off and there is a beep in the gap.

Just put it down a few seconds later, it rang again.

Xia Ruxuan paused for a moment and picked it up, "Is there anything else you haven't finished speaking?" ”

"Uh," the voice on the other end of the line visibly cowardly, "it's me." ”

"Hmm......" Xia Ruxuan immediately heard that it was Yin Xia, "I was on the phone with a friend just now, what's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just to come and greet you for the New Year." Yin Xia was obviously still a little restrained in front of Xia Ruxuan. "Happy New Year."

"Just say Happy New Year, nothing else?" Xia Ruxuan said with a smile, there are only a few people who can make him feel calmer at this time.

Xia Ruxuan meant to ask her if she had anything to say, Yin Xia thought for a while, "That'...... I'll sing you a song. ”

"Okay." Xia Ruxuan was stunned and responded. Then Yin Xia began to sing on the phone, and her voice seemed a little ethereal through the microphone, which made Xia Ruxuan's thoughts fly a little. It's like listening to her occasionally humming a song after many years.

"An entertainment company's agent approached me and said that I was asked to try to participate in the first Happy Girl held by Shonan Satellite TV after the New Year, and I could directly sign a record if I had a good rank......" After the song, Yin Xia paused and suddenly spoke.

"Huh?" Xia Ruxuan frowned and thought, he remembered that Yin Xia had only participated in the competition in the fifth year of the year...... And now that she was invited a year in advance, her brows gradually relaxed, which should be a good thing for her. "It's good, come on."

Hearing Xia Ruxuan's words, Yin Xia was a little excited as if he had received great encouragement, thank you, thank you, I will, I will definitely work hard not to disappoint you.

Listening to the excitement in her words after receiving encouragement, Xia Ruxuan's heart became more and more uncomfortable.

A person always has to make a lot of choices, once one has chosen...... Do you have to give up everything else?

If...... Do I want each of them to be happy?

Xia Ruxuan asked himself in a low voice. What is true selfishness?

…… The changes brought by Xia Ruxuan's rebirth to the Xia family began to spread to the entire group from such the most subtle details, as if the whole body was moved, and the decadent scene in history was changed.

There is a talk about the political situation in southern Jiangsu as if sitting in the living room as a commonplace, knocking melon seeds and turning on the TV is not in a hurry, Mo Nanwei as the deputy mayor in charge of the construction part of the period when southern Jiangsu has entered a period of economic take-off, it can be described as extremely sensitive, no matter what action you want to do, it will attract the attention of countless people.

In addition, Mo Nanwei, who is not yet 40 years old in the municipal party committee, is undoubtedly extremely young, and Mo Nanwei, who has been transferred from the provincial party committee for training, is even in a different situation from those leaders who have climbed up step by step from the grassroots level in terms of ideology. His plan and political attitude to make a big difference are not very popular. This undoubtedly caused a lot of trouble to his work, in fact, the main problem is that many projects now need a lot of money to do, and everyone knows how much benefit these projects will be to southern Jiangsu if they can be successfully completed. But who wants to invest that money is a question.

This is the reason why Mo Nanwei thought of coming to negotiate with Xia Yunbai, but Xia Yunbai once said that he is a businessman, and what a successful businessman needs is to look at one thing with absolutely pure eyes. Xia Yunbai is obviously a top businessman at this level, and if he wants to take money out of his pocket, he must be able to see tangible benefits in the future.

However, at this moment, Mo Nanwei's situation does not seem to be as difficult as in his previous life, and from the words, Xia Ruxuan can hear that it has something to do with Lei Tao's father's line, and if they want to stop in Sunan, they must hemorrhage. The premise of hemorrhage is that it must be on a high enough line, and it must be a practical leader who is really thinking about the city, otherwise the blood will be in vain and there will be no way to bring him substantial benefits. However, because of Xia Ruxuan's existence, this layer of problems was solved by chance.

"If you want to let southern Jiangsu go to a higher level, at present, the Lianhai District is a hindrance. No matter how well we build the center of gravity of Edo City, we can't make up for this problem. When he was silent, Xia Ruxuan suddenly spoke, "These things can't be done by the political axe alone, the problem now is that the popularity of Lianhai District is too large, and the large areas of raw land make it impossible to start." I guess that's what my father was thinking about. Under Xia Yunbai's suddenly brighter gaze, Xia Ruxuan calmly continued to speak, "I'm thinking, if we can add a subway line to connect the Lianhai District, after the popularity of that area gradually becomes lively, the economy will naturally be easy to get up." I heard that the housing prices in the city have risen a lot, and I feel that the growth of housing prices is a long-term thing, and it will only go up and down for many years to come, but more and more people want to buy houses, and the most troublesome traffic is not a problem. Instead of trying to spend a lot of effort to build a commercial center in Lianhai District, it is better to start with the subway...... Uh, here are some of my observations. ”

It was really because there was some deviation between the place where he heard their discussion and the vigorous development in his memory, Xia Ruxuan had to remind him in a low voice. Hearing this, Mo Nan's eyes lit up and fell into deep thought.

There is a part about the construction of the commercial center in Lianhai District, which is also an extremely important part of Xia Ruxuan's heart for Xia's family. Who would have thought that after seven years, the land price in Lianhai would increase tenfold. Not to mention the commercial center of the future, in 2011, the slogan of the political axe is to surpass the original most prosperous Edo district in three years.

The reason is that the development potential of the new area is higher than that of the old area, if Xia's can take the lead in getting that big project under such circumstances and get those hundreds of acres of land, Xia Ruxuan believes that the potential in this area is far more than the benefits that the western suburbs can give Xia's. If it is completed, this time, seven years later, the Xia clan will become an unshakable behemoth compared to history.

Xia Ruxuan knew that Mo Nan's political mind would never waste such an opportunity, and because there was no such layer in history, he was falling into a misguided path of focusing on the Lianhai District. This time, Mo Nanwei and Xia Yunbai chatted freely in the study until late at night before leaving. Obviously, for Mo Nanwei, he has found a new entry point.

He felt as if everyone had a new goal to move forward with, only he suddenly became empty. Suddenly I felt a little unaccustomed, for so long since I was reborn, there have been one goal after another in front of me, and there has never been a time when I have nothing to do like this.

It's just that at this time, all the seeds planted by Xia Ruxuan have broken through the ground and begun to take root and sprout slowly, accumulating the energy needed for growth, waiting for the day when they will grow into towering trees.

In the last week of the holiday, Xia Ruxuan received an email from Zuckerberg.

Then the next day, he boarded a flight to New York, USA, alone.

On this day in early February, at a newly opened Chinese restaurant at 66 Tribeca District, New York, this popular local meeting place. Xia Ruxuan met Sean Parker, the most controversial protagonist in the Facebook team, for the first time.

"You're saying this young man is the original founder of FriendBook?" Everyone was seated in the restaurant, and Sean Parker, who had long curly blond hair and was wearing a trendy T-shirt with an expensive price, looked at Xia Ruxuan in surprise, and then looked at Zuckerberg.

"I think you should apologize to my boss for your attitude." Zuckerberg was dressed casually, with a t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers. "But I can answer your question with certainty, yes."

Sean Parker was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Xia Ruxuan in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, I just ...... Belch...... Surprised. After saying that, he quickly said, "Officially introduce myself, my name is Sean Parker." ”

"I know you, and I sympathize with you." Xia Ruxuan shrugged his shoulders and said bluntly.

"You know me?" Sean Parker was stunned.

"That's right, you joined the music sharing site Napster in '99, quit for some reason a year later, and then cooperated with your own Internet company in the city, Plaxo, which quickly raised millions of dollars and accumulated thousands of users, but unfortunately was fired by the company you founded again because of friction with investors......

Xia Ruxuan once read information related to this person, on the one hand, he is a strange way of life and his casual and irregular dislike of playing cards according to common sense, on the other hand, he is a business genius, and the success of the website in history is inseparable from him, he has rich experience and extensive contacts in Silicon Valley. This is also the purpose of his visit, he wants to meet this person, after all, the description in the information is different from the person himself.

"Knowing the profile of every potential collaborator is a must-do for a boss, isn't it?" After saying the last sentence, Xia Ruxuan blinked.

"Alright, Parker, I think we can sit down and have a good talk." Zuckerberg interjected, "Xia will soon make you understand your own ignorance, I can't believe he's just a teenager my age." ”

"Okay......" Sean Parker patted his head, "no sooner, I've got it, God." He knows myself better than I do. A joke softened the original coldness of the scene.
