On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, that is, on March 5, 2007, early in the morning, Yan Xin drove away from his hometown and set off towards Yangcheng.

The sun hadn't come out yet.

By the time the sun rose, his car had already driven to the county seat.

At nine o'clock, the car was on the highway.

At noon, when he was resting and eating in the service area, he also sent a message to Ellie, saying that he had set off and arrived somewhere.

Arily's reply was to tell him to be careful when driving.

After driving so far, there are still some worries.

In particular, Yan Xin didn't have long to learn to drive, and it took only a few months to get his driver's license, which was a novice on the road, which made people even more uneasy.

Yan Xin himself is not very at ease with himself.

It is precisely because of this unease that he pays special attention when driving and drives very steadily.

It's not that fast.

Of course, it is impossible to drive very slowly on the highway, and it is still within a normal range.

When you feel tired, you will go to the nearest service area to take a break.

drove all the way through like this, and by the time he arrived in Yangcheng, it was already eight or nine o'clock in the evening.

Those cars that drove fiercely, and walked the same way as him, could arrive before it got dark.

The car drove to Bai Jingyuan, directly entered the basement, and parked in the parking space that Chen Li bought - Chen Li had not come back at this time, the parking space was empty, and it was no problem to park here.

After getting out of the car, I made a phone call to Arily: "I'm home." ”

Arily's voice was excited: "You're back?" ”

Within two seconds, Yan Xin heard the sound of the door opening in his mobile phone, and then came from Alili's voice: "Where are you now?" ”

Obviously, she went to open the door just now, and then she didn't find Yan Xin.

There was still a bit of loss in his tone.

Thinking of such a picture, Yan Xin felt that he was a special bastard - he had to live up to a woman who was so good to him.

"I'm in the garage now, just got out of the car, and I'll be there later." ”

Arily sighed and said, "Then I'll wait for you." ”

After ending the call with Alili, Yan Xin called his father again: "Dad, I'm in Yangcheng now." ”

Father Yan was worried for so long, and finally relieved his heart at this moment, and said, "It's good to arrive." ”

Yan Xin didn't say anything to his father for too long, and made this call to report that he was safe, and explained: "I haven't eaten yet, I'm going to eat later, hang up first." ”

"You hang up." Yan Dad said.

I hung up the phone, walked into the elevator hall, and pressed the button.

After thinking about it, when the elevator came down, he sent another QQ message to Feng Xi: "I have arrived in Yangcheng now." ”

This can be regarded as a peace for her.

Before the elevator came down, Feng Xi replied: "Then I'll rest assured." ”

Yan Xin sent a message: "I haven't eaten yet, I'm going to eat later, so I won't talk to you, bye." ”

Feng Xi also replied with a "goodbye".

Then, Yan Xin deleted the chat history with her.

The movements are very skillful.

When I was with Feng Xi, I was worried that Feng Xi would see the message chatting with Ellili on his phone.

Now that I'm going to be with Arili, I should worry about Arily seeing the message chatting with Feng Xi on her phone.

After doing this, he felt like he was scumbag.

However, it is even more difficult not to do so.

The elevator finally came down, the door opened, and Yan Xin walked in and began to adjust his mood.

It's not that he didn't think about confessing to Ellili about having a relationship with Feng Xi.

Feng Xi wants to sprint for the college entrance examination, and it is not suitable to be stimulated like this.

But Alili doesn't have to take the college entrance examination.

But the thought of how she would react to telling Arily the truth hesitated.

From Arily, he could feel a deep sense of love.

Generally speaking, how deep you love, after being betrayed, how deeply you hurt.

What kind of injury she will suffer at that time, he can't imagine.

Even if he knew that the paper couldn't contain the fire, and the matter would be revealed sooner or later, he still didn't want to face such a situation, and instinctively wanted to delay and escape.

What he wants to do now is to hide this matter first.

What will happen in the future can only be said later.

The elevator slowly went up.

He was in the elevator and took a few deep breaths, controlling his expression.

At this time, if someone looks at the monitoring of this elevator, they will find that the expression on this person's face is changing rapidly.

At first, he was preoccupied, and then he smiled stiffly.

Then the smile on his face changed from stiff to natural.

The elevator stopped, the elevator door opened, and Yan Xin walked out.

Yan Xin, who came out, already had a smile on his face at this moment, and walked towards Chen Li's suite.

His own house can be moved now, but Ellilie is the only one in this time, and he has not moved, and he can't live in it for the time being.

When I walked over, I found that the door was open, and Arily was standing there waiting.

It's like a wife waiting for her husband to come home.

Seeing Yan Xin, Alili rushed over, hugged him with open arms, and said, "You're finally back", her voice was a little choked.

It seems that during the time of separation, she really missed Yan Xin.

Yan Xin's heart was sour, and the guilt was even worse, so he hugged her, patted her on the back, and said, "I'm back." ”

"Next time you go home for the New Year, I'll go with you," Arily whimpered lowly, "I'm so lonely without you." ”

The little thought that Yan Xin still had in his heart to tell the truth to Alili also disappeared at this moment.

In this case, it is a bit too cruel for her to face reality.

Even if you want to explain, you have to wait for a while.

Thinking like this in his heart, he promised in his mouth: "Next time I go home for the New Year, I will definitely take you back." ”

He didn't know if he could fulfill such a promise, but at this time he could only say yes first.

Arily added, "I don't want to be separated from you again. ”

"Well, let's never be apart again." Yan Xin said weakly.

Ellili hugged Yan Xin very tightly, as if he would leave as soon as he let go of his hand, which made Yan Xin feel a little breathless.

But at this time, he couldn't say anything, so he could only hug him back.

The two hugged tightly for almost a minute, and then Ellilie let go of him, took his hand and walked home, and asked him:

"Have you had dinner?"

"Haven't eaten yet." Yan Xin said.

He knew that Arily was here waiting for him to come back, so he didn't eat dinner on the way.

"I haven't eaten yet," said Elili, "I've prepared a meal and will eat it when you get back." ”

She didn't know when Yan Xin would come back, and she didn't know if Yan Xin would eat outside, but she still prepared a meal and waited for Yan Xin to come back.

Although she felt a little hungry, she still didn't eat, but waited for Yan Xin to come back and eat together.

After Yan Xin came in, he saw that the food was already on the table.

The meal was prepared an hour earlier and was heated in the steamer.

After receiving Yan Xin's call, Alili brought all the dishes to the table, served the rice too, and waited for Yan Xin to come and eat.

Even if Yan Xin has already eaten dinner, he can accompany her to eat a little.

She really can't eat it, she can also eat this meal in the company of Yan Xin.

Yan Xin washed his hands and sat on the edge of the dining table, and sighed in his heart: "Sister Lili is really a good wife and mother. ”

Then he blamed himself: "Such a good woman, but I failed her, I am really too bastard!" ”

At the time of eating, Alili's mood had stabilized, and the grievance of not seeing each other for more than half a month had been eliminated, and what remained was the joy of reunion after a long absence.

She and Yan Xin sat face to face, and from time to time they served him vegetables, and sometimes even served them directly to his mouth.

Correspondingly, Yan Xin will also serve her vegetables.

While eating, we talked.

The main thing is the company's side.

All the employees of the eighth company came to work, and Alili also gave them red envelopes, including red envelopes sent by herself, as well as start-up profits in the name of the company.

also wrapped a red envelope for Yan Xin, and waited for Yan Xin to go to the company tomorrow to send them to them.

Most of the company's employees are on holiday during the Chinese New Year, but the performance during this period is still quite good.

The main reason is that after Gu Ru sang the song "Blue and White Porcelain" in the Spring Festival Gala, it became popular.

brought the songs she sang in the past to popularity, and also made several other artists in the company rub a wave of popularity.

Raised the price of their commercial performances.

More importantly, let the company's CRBT download business grow by leaps and bounds.

This CRBT download business includes the company's own download business, as well as the download business licensed to other provincial CRBT companies.

In just a few days of the Chinese New Year, the total number of CRBT downloads of the songs copyrighted by the company is close to 100 million.

Among them, Gu Ru's CRBT download alone accounts for half of it.

Most of the downloads come from authorized CRBT companies in other provinces, and the profits are not as high as those operated by their own companies, but the number is there, and the total profits are also very considerable.

Coupled with the profits brought by commercial performances.

In February, the profit attributable to the company exceeded 20 million.

This is the most profitable month for Starlight Entertainment.

The performance in March is definitely not as high as in February, but through Gu Ru's Spring Festival Gala, their exposure has reached a new level, even if it is not as good as February, it is much higher than before.

For the company's performance this year, Alili is still relatively confident.

The company's performance in February is very good, Yan Xin, a songwriter, has a very good personal income, his copyright dividend is set relatively high, this moonlight copyright dividend, he can earn millions, and it is also an after-tax income.

In a few days, the money will be remitted to Yan Xin's account.

As for the money earned by the company, Yan Xin is not ready to use it as a dividend for shareholders, but will continue to invest.

When it comes to paying taxes, he now has no need for large consumption, and he doesn't need dividends.

The money is invested in real estate, upgrades to websites, and the opening of software and games.

Their mobile site has made some simple games that have also been popular with some players.

However, those games are mainly text and picture type games, and the playability is not very strong, and the only advantage is that it is relatively simple to develop.

Investment in this area will be increased in the future.

This includes attracting relevant talent.

I can't afford to do such a thing without money, but now that I have a little money, I can still think about it.

Yan Xin also asked Alili to pay attention to the companies or teams that are now engaged in game development in China, and if they meet the right ones, they can also try to cooperate.

It's okay to play some small games, but if the investment is too big, forget it, because he doesn't have that money, and he doesn't want to take out a loan to play games.

In his previous life, Yan Xin didn't play games much, and he didn't have any bonus of rebirth in this regard, but he knew that some games were very profitable.

But he also knows that a game like the king, even if it makes money, has nothing to do with him.

Unless he can have a platform of QQ's size, he can only watch others make money.

For the future of the company, Yan Xin attaches the most importance to software development, especially mobile phone software, but it is not so urgent now.

On the other hand, he doesn't have that much money to invest in the industry at the moment.

Now there is no Android system in the world, and the Android system will not be released until the end of the year, and smartphones based on the Android system will not appear until 08.

So it's not so much of a hurry yet.

But Yan Xin hopes to be able to create a software development department based on the Android system in the next year or two, and he has a lot of ideas to implement through this department.

Now you can pay more attention to this news and have a certain understanding of the industry.

In terms of the company's business, the main investment is used on the website, and the most important thing at this stage is to increase popularity.

If you have money, you can do promotion, invest money in some navigation websites for drainage, and you can also go to other platforms to advertise your website, even if it is to play some edge advertising.

All in all, it's about making it popular.

If their website can reach the scale of millions of online users, then there is a huge traffic pool, and it will be much easier to do software development and game development in the future.

More than ten years later, Yan Xin knows very well how much it will cost those platforms to grab users.

It's not that expensive to get users now, so of course you have to take advantage of this opportunity to do it.

When he first came back, Yan Xin had a ghost in his heart, and he was afraid to speak, for fear that something was wrong and Ellili would see that something was wrong.

But when it came to the future development of the company, he temporarily let go of the guilt of stepping on two boats, and talked with Alilie, his expression became more and more natural, and his mood became more and more relaxed.

At this time, he didn't regard Alili as his lover, but as his colleague, so he naturally didn't have that sense of guilt.

At the beginning, Ellili had some resentment in her heart - she was separated from the person she liked for more than half a month, and finally the other party came back, not about the lovesickness after parting, but about the future development of the company, which was somewhat incomprehensible.

But chatting with Yan Xin, watching Yan Xin's eyebrows gradually flutter, he changed his mind again, and thought in his heart:

"The man at work is the most charming, this may be the biggest charm of a man!"

Yan Xin also deliberately introduced the topic to work, which made him feel better.

After eating, he wanted to help Ellily clean up the dishes and chopsticks together, but was pushed away by Ellily: "You drove back so hard, don't do this, take a good rest." ”

He didn't continue, but took out his mobile phone while Ellili was washing the dishes and looked at it, and didn't see Feng Xi sending him a message, so he was relieved.

But there is still a certain amount of pressure.

During the meal, he diverted his emotional troubles by chatting about work matters, but in the evening, he still had to face it after all—he couldn't talk to Arily about another night's work, right?

How to spend this night, he also had a headache.

Having such a relationship with Feng Xi is actually not a betrayal of Ellili, because it happened after drinking and being confused, it was a mistake, but it was not a betrayal.

The problem is that after that incident, in his sober state, he had that kind of relationship with Feng Xi again, and it won't grow to that kind of relationship in a short time, this is a betrayal of Ellili.

He felt a deep sense of guilt in the face of Arily.

However, if he had an intimate relationship with Ellili tonight, it would mean his betrayal of Feng Xi.

This is not only a sense of guilt for Arili, but also a sense of guilt for Feng Xi.

stepping on two boats and maintaining an ambiguous relationship with two women is a proper scumbag behavior.

He didn't want to be that scumbag.

He felt that such a relationship should not happen again until a choice was made between the two women.

But to make a choice, at least you have to wait for Feng Xi after the college entrance examination.

The best thing to do now is to separate from Arily.

It's not that you avoid it, it's that it minimizes it.

But now he and Alily are clearly boyfriend and girlfriend, and how to separate without telling the truth is a big problem.

He couldn't find a plausible excuse to come.

Sitting there, I wondered how to talk to Arily and propose that the two of us not live together.

By the time Arily had finished washing the dishes and came to him, he hadn't come up with such a reason.

Arily asked him, "Are you going to go out for a walk now, or are you going to take a shower and sleep?" ”

"I'm tired of driving today, so let's take a shower and sleep." Yan Xin replied.

I thought to myself, "We'll stay together tonight, but I can tell her I'm tired of driving, so I don't have to have that kind of relationship." Let's wait until tomorrow to find a reason to live separately. ”

With such an idea in mind, I went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Only when he turned on the shower, and his body was not wet, Elili pushed the door in, and said to him, "Let's wash together." ”

Yan Xin closed his eyes and thought to himself, "What a sin!" ”

After a while, his mind changed:

"Anyway, I've had that relationship with her before, and it's no ...... if I have one more time."

After a while, both of them returned to the bedroom, and when they got to the bed, Yan Xin thought again:

"Anyway, that kind of relationship has happened just now, and it's already here, and it doesn't seem to get worse if you do it again......"

With this idea of breaking the jar, I feel even more scum, but my mood is inexplicably much lighter.
