Rebirth at the Start: This Fate is Too Explosive!

Chapter 162 Don't be too gay

She stopped and turned around with some difficulty.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Ye Fan strode over, carrying a packed lunchbox in his hand.

"Here you go." Ye Fan walked up to her and handed her the lunchbox.

Xian Zuling subconsciously waved his hand and stepped back: "Ye Fan, you really don't need to treat me to another meal! You've already done it..."

Ye Fan smiled faintly, his tone gentle yet carrying an uncompromising edge: "I promised to owe you three meals, so it's three meals. This is the second one."

He paused, then made a gesture as if to throw the food container into the nearby trash can: "If you don't like this, how about we go get something else?"

"No!" Xian Zuling's heart tightened. She almost lunged forward, quickly "snatching" the lunchbox from Ye Fan's hand and hugging it tightly to her chest. Her voice was weak but urgent, "No, no... I... I'll eat this! It's fine!"

She was genuinely afraid that Ye Fan would just throw the lunchbox into the trash can, because he was really capable of doing that.

Seeing her guarded and anxious expression, Ye Fan smiled slightly: "Alright, go back to your dorm and rest. You look exhausted."

After saying that, he waved and turned to merge into the crowd.

Xian Zuling stood there for a few seconds, holding the still-warm lunchbox, a feeling of warmth mixed with complex emotions welling up inside her.

She took a deep breath, hugged the lunchbox tightly, and turned to disappear into the direction leading to the dormitory building.

......

Go back to dorms.

Only Xiao Ji remained, sitting energetically on his "throne" playing games.

Li Yifeng and Shi Kai, these two brave men, were clearly exhausted.

They were too lazy to even go to the canteen, and just bought a few breads and sausages from the convenience store downstairs to fill their stomachs.

They had already finished washing up and were sprawled on their beds, holding their phones, their eyes glazed over, looking completely exhausted. It seemed that today's military training had really worn them out.

Xiao Ji's energy is incredible; he started playing games again right after taking a shower. Ye Fan had to admit he was impressed.

The aisle wasn't big, but Xiao Ji's sofa took up most of it.

Upon hearing the door open, Xiao Ji didn't even turn around. He simply paused his game with practiced ease, nimbly twisting his body in the chair. A lighter was already in his hand, and a fawning smile spread across his face, like a dog smelling a bone: "Brother Fan! You're back? Got a cigarette? I need one!"

The way he called him "Brother Fan" was so affectionate.

Ye Fan knew this kid perfectly well—when he wanted a cigarette, he was "Brother Fan," but as soon as he got the cigarette, he instantly became "Fanzi," a classic example of "using someone and discarding them."

This is a very small base.

In his previous life, Ye Fan would most likely have replied with an annoyed "No," and then just kept quiet.

But now it's different.

Having been reborn, he understands even more that these seemingly insignificant small favors can often maintain relationships and even bring unexpected convenience in the future.

He casually pulled a cigarette case from his pocket, flicked out a cigarette with practiced ease, and tossed it precisely to Xiao Ji.

Xiao Ji happily accepted the ticket, quickly lit it, and took a big, satisfying sip before finally having the leisure to ask, "Fanzi, you're not in military training either, so why are you back later than us 'tortured' ones?"

Sure enough, "Brother Fan's" shelf life is only one cigarette.

Ye Fan was secretly pleased; this kid was really playing himself.

He climbed into his bed, lay down comfortably, pulled out his phone, and casually threw out an answer that instantly drove Xiao Ji crazy: "What else can I do? Girls, of course!"

"Holy crap?" Xiao Ji, cigarette dangling from his lips, abruptly turned his head, his eyes wide with shock, envy, and jealousy. "Wow, Fan-ge, you're living the high life...it's too good!"

This made Ki Woo-ho, who was in a long-distance relationship, extremely envious. He even felt that the cigarettes he was enjoying had lost their flavor.

Xiao Ji started dating his high school classmate. He stayed in Nanjing for university, while his girlfriend went to another city.

Ye Fan ignored him and started scrolling through his phone.

The only sounds in the dormitory were the gunshots from Xiao Ji's game and his occasional frustrated growls.

......

The next morning, I heard that the intensity of the military training was going to be increased.

Ye Fan was too lazy to go to the playground to watch the execution.

Imagining the scene of thousands of people screaming and howling under the scorching sun, he decisively chose to retreat.

"I'd better go to the company and see what's going on." He started the black Audi, drove away from the bustling campus, and headed towards the company in the city center.

It's been a while since I last visited, and the company has been completely transformed.

Last time I came, only some areas were barely usable, which was for Xiang Hao's team to develop urgently.

The renovation of the entire office building is now complete and finished!

As Ye Fan entered the building, his eyes lit up.

Liu Ruyan's efficiency was indeed astonishing.

Not only the development area where Xiang Hao's team is located, but also the office spaces on all other floors have been set up.

The brand-new desks and chairs are neatly arranged, the spacious and bright meeting room is fully equipped, the comfortable employee rest area and the well-equipped tea room are all available, exuding the professionalism of a modern enterprise.

Ye Fan nodded inwardly. Entrusting the company to Liu Ruyan was indeed a wise move. Her coordination and execution abilities were top-notch.

Xiang Hao's team is working hard to make the final push for the upcoming launch of their new social networking app, Mewe.

Once the product is officially launched, the most pressing issue is talent!

Xiang Hao's R&D team needs to be expanded, and subsequent product promotion, marketing, user operation, public relations maintenance, customer support... every line needs a large influx of fresh blood.

Currently, although Xiang Hao's team is under the new name "VerMirror" (an upgrade from the previous "Instant Sharing"), this subsidiary, which focuses on social communication software business, still lacks a leader who can truly coordinate the overall situation and take charge independently.

Xiang Hao is a top-notch technical expert and a perfect leader in development, but company operations and management are not his forte.

Now he is waiting for Lu Qinghe's arrival. As soon as she takes up her post, Ye Fan will be able to hand over the reins of the fledgling warship, Context Technology, to her.

Otherwise, Liu Ruyan would have too much to bear.

Liu Ruyan is now the head steward of the entire Red Bean Capital. She not only has to handle the investment affairs of Red Bean Capital itself (including matters that need to be paid attention to as an important shareholder of ByteDance), but also personally supervised the renovation of the entire company some time ago, and even temporarily took on the management of Yujing Technology.

Lu Qinghe's arrival will greatly free up Liu Ruyan's energy, allowing her to focus more on the overall work of the Hongdou Group.

After all, once the product is launched, Context Technology will experience explosive business growth and challenges.
