Chapter 222: Being kicked off the table even when eating
Li Yuanbao hasn't been to Shenzhen for more than half a month since school started.

The three of them reunited at this time, and Yang Xiao took them to find a nice restaurant and had a big meal.

As for the entertainment activities after dinner, it is naturally sitting in the Internet cafe for three consecutive days.

Logically speaking, college students at this stage actually prefer to participate in and organize social activities.

I'm not like those three who only know how to hang out in Internet cafes.

For example, in the current situation, many boys will take the initiative to invite the girls in the class who are still on campus to go to the bar for a drink together.

If you make eye contact while drinking and have a good chat in private, perhaps a romance will be born.

Hu Yuting from the class actually had a private chat with Yang Xiao on QQ, asking Yang Xiao about his plans for the National Day holiday. If he was still in school, they could get together and have fun.

However, Yang Xiao politely rejected them all.

He was different from the others, he just felt bored.

And these college students are still full of freshness about everything.

It may even continue until graduation from college.

As a college student, this new identity will also bring about new cognition.

Longing to meet people from all over the world, longing to be recognized, longing for freedom, longing for love.

Like Mu Xingwen in Yang Xiao’s dormitory.

He is the farthest away from home, and now he is the only one in the dormitory for seven days, but he is not lonely.

The basketball club gatherings and class reunions have already been planned, and we will even enjoy them.

I even heard him say that he had joined a QQ group of a hometown association from Shandong Province in the school forum, which was also organizing gatherings. He would be unable to rest during this holiday.

Kwan Song-lung even teased him, asking if he would find a girlfriend during the National Day holiday.

In college, if you really want to be single, it’s actually very simple.

As long as you don't think about staying in the dormitory or Internet cafe playing games, there are so many opportunities.

Take Zhou Hongyu for example.

His hope of catching up with Tan Yue was too slim, but if it was a girl in school, it would still be easy.

Li Yuanbao's situation is even more exaggerated. From high school to now, his interest in playing games has only increased. He even plans to make up for the time lost in the last six months of senior year in high school in college.

Apparently, I’ve been single for four years.

But he seemed to be clueless.

He has no interest in women, love, or anything like that.

There are many such people in universities.

In other words, in their entire lives, they have never met a woman who truly makes their heart beat.

It is a congenitally "single" holy body.

Li Yuanbao couldn't even figure out why Zhou Hongyu suddenly became so obsessed with a woman.

What do you mean?
I couldn't catch up with her and I lost my mindset.

If you have this free time, you might as well play a few games to have fun.

Because the game never lets him down.

At this time, the three of them opened a private room in an Internet cafe.

Li Yuanbao said excitedly:

"Let me tell you, I recently discovered a new game called League of Legends. Shall we play that?"

When Zhou Hongyu heard this, his face fell and he couldn't help but look at Yang Xiao, thinking about the bet he lost to him.

"It's not fun. It's boring."

Li Yuanbao urged them to play together: "Why is it boring? I see my roommate is having a lot of fun. Come on, let's play together."

Zhou Hongyu's eyes rolled at this moment, and a bad idea popped into his mind.

"You're a noob at any game, let alone a competitive game like this. It's boring to play with you."

"I'm a wimp? Can I be better than you?"

"I do not believe."

"Let's compare."

In the end, the two of them argued for a while, and then decided to decide the winner by solo.

Of course, Zhou Hongyu also followed suit.

Made a bet with Li Yuanbao about washing socks.

Yang Xiao stood aside calmly, watching Li Yuanbao fall into Zhou Hongyu's trap step by step.

Zhou Hongyu had already become familiar with this game a week ago.

I thought I was sure of victory.

But who would have thought that the solo result would be so unexpected.

Yang Xiao watched the excitement for a long time and found out that Li Yuanbao won!
Upon asking, I found out that his roommate had taught him in his free time and let him practice for a period of time every day.

Besides, there are several Internet cafes near their school, and they are already familiar with them.

At the beginning, I took a lot of effort to pretend to be a newbie and deal with Zhou Hongyu for a long time.

"Fuck, I'm not coming anymore."

"It's okay. Next time I come to Shenzhen, I'll pack the socks in a bag and bring them to you."

"What socks, I don't know."

"Tsk, I've already guessed that you were going to deny it, so I'm going to give you a good slap in the face this time so that you don't dare to act cool in front of your brother Bao."

……

Yang Xiao watched them playing around with a smile when a message rang on his QQ phone.

It came from his assistant Zhao Qian.

"Mr. Yang, Cheng Yixiao, the founder of Kuaishou GIF, will arrive in Shenzhen tomorrow. When will you be able to find time to meet him?"

After reading it, Yang Xiao finally remembered this matter.

Previously, Zhao Qian contacted Cheng Yixiao and planned to invest in Kuaishou at this stage as their angel investor.

At that time, miHoYo also planned to invest.

However, the miHoYo team has to take some time off and plans to contact them again next month.

Yang Xiao edited the message and replied:
"At 3 pm, please meet him at a business teahouse. I will be there then."

"Ok."

After a few minutes, Zhao Qian confirmed the negotiation address for tomorrow and sent it to Yang Xiao. After getting Yang Xiao's confirmation, she notified Cheng Yixiao.

Cheng Yixiao felt relieved after receiving the address sent by Zhao Qian.

He said he had a flight early tomorrow morning.

In fact, he is already at the airport in Yanjing.

In the early days of his business, he didn't even have an assistant.

Kuaishou GIF was so short of money that its founder only planned to buy a ticket on a low-cost airline.

I plan to find a hotel to stay in after arriving in Shenzhen.

The main thing was that the investor he met made him feel extremely nervous.

Cheng Yixiao not only needs investors' money now, he also wants his products to be exposed.

And this person just happens to have this ability!

Whether it is WiFi Master Key or the newly launched Kuaiya.

If he could give his Kuaishou GIF two advertising spots, he could save at least hundreds of thousands of dollars in marketing and promotion costs.

I can’t even imagine the benefits that will be brought by getting investment from this big guy!

So he planned to arrive in Shenzhen one day in advance.

I’m afraid that time will be delayed and make the boss unhappy!
Yang Xiao calculated the time.

I have been invited to meet Luo Yao's parents tomorrow at noon.

In the afternoon, I will take some time to finalize the investment in Kuaishou GIF. There should be no problem with the timing.

The last time Yang Xiao went to Zhichun Road in Yanjing, he visited Zhang Yiming.

The two of them talked for a while, but he was not convinced. They left each other's contact information, but there was no further communication afterwards.

Yang Xiao doesn’t know whether he will have the opportunity to get involved in “Toutiao” in the future.

After all, ByteDance is a big ship that will surpass Tencent and Alibaba in the future.

But it doesn’t matter. ByteDance’s success is due to TikTok.

But there are still so many years to prepare, so Yang Xiao might as well create a short video platform that can be used by everyone.

……

The next day, the sun was shining brightly.

After getting up, Yang Xiao went out alone and took a taxi to the gate of Zhongda University.

The school gate is still very busy in the morning.

There were many students carrying backpacks, who appeared to be from around Guangdong Province, and they did not look too anxious.

Yang Xiao strolled around the campus and waited in a pavilion not far from the girls' dormitory for a while before Luo Yao came slowly.

She was wearing a light yellow cardigan and a gray pleated skirt today, and she attracted many glances from passers-by as she walked around the campus.

Luo Yao was a little curious and asked, "Are you nervous?"

Yang Xiao smiled and said, "Why should I be nervous? Are your parents dissatisfied with me?"

"Anyway, I can't say I'm satisfied, I'm still not satisfied."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you're not against the two of us being together, I can accept it."

Yang Xiao was actually very satisfied.

If you put yourself in her shoes, and if you have a precious daughter who was kidnapped by an ordinary boy, it would be good enough that you didn't get angry at the first sight.

How can we talk about support?

After all, Yang Xiao cannot compare with Luo Yao's family in terms of academic qualifications or family situation.

Yang Xiao himself knew it very well.

Perhaps Luo Yao's parents wanted to see her more because Yang Xiao was from Huicheng.

There is some human connection between the two sets of parents.

Rather than meeting the two children, this meal was more like a Hongmen Banquet targeting Yang Xiao.

Perhaps, it also has some meaning of criticism and scrutiny.

Even Luo Yao, who is so sensitive, is a little worried about bringing pressure to Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao never thought that there would be a day when he would have to face Luo Yao's parents so soon.

However, he was really not afraid.

Luo Yao's parents are indeed quite open-minded, but if it were any ordinary kid from his family, he would have given up long ago.

At any time and in any era, the words "equal status" are actually important.

The reason why Yang Xiao dared to attend the banquet was naturally due to his confidence.

Otherwise, the past is only a waste of shame.

At this time, Luo Yao was very satisfied when she heard Yang Xiao's answer. She smiled happily, took Yang Xiao's arm, and walked out of the campus.

It was still early, so the two went out and found a shopping mall to go shopping, then slowly got on a car and headed to the hotel Liu Xiaolan had booked.

……

Huayuan Restaurant.

This is a Cantonese restaurant.

Luo Zhengbin and Liu Xiaolan arrived in Shenzhen last night.

Last time, due to work reasons, Luo Zhengbin didn't have time to send his daughter over.

This trip happened to be during the holidays, and I wanted to take a look at my daughter's learning environment.

Secondly, the couple took this opportunity to travel and relax.

Inviting Yang Xiao to join us this time was actually just a matter of convenience.

In the restaurant's private room.

In addition to Liu Xiaolan and Luo Zhengbin, there were two middle-aged people, a man and a woman.

The woman was Chen Li, who had sent Liu Xiaolan to the gate of Zhongda University last time.

The other is her husband Yu Dahai.

When Chen Li heard that Liu Xiaolan had specially called Yang Xiao to come together, she couldn't help but complain:
"I say, you two are really careless. Are you really going to let Luo Yao continue to have contact with that boy from Shenzhen University?"

Luo Zhengbin also had a very open-minded attitude and said indifferently:

"Luo Yao is sensible in what she does, and the child is grown up. Since they like each other, let them be."

Chen Li was furious when she heard this: "What kind of abilities do ordinary university students like them have when they enter society? They have no future! I heard that students like them are basically uneducated and have no skills. What else can they do in school except skipping classes and playing games?"

Luo Zhengbin smiled and said, "Alas, that can't be said. It's hard to predict a person's fate. Didn't your old Yu take advantage of the reform and opening up to go into business and travel around the country to get to where he is today?"

"Times are different now. We suffered so much back then."

Chen Li rolled her eyes and disagreed.

She then turned the topic to her son who was studying abroad.

He always shows off his sense of superiority by talking about how much living expenses he spends in a month, what courses he has learned, who his tutor is, etc.

Liu Xiaolan naturally also talked about this topic about her best friend.

honestly.

Liu Xiaolan didn't have a good impression of Yang Xiao.

Even since she returned to Lincheng last time, she had specifically asked Luo Yao's uncle Liu Sanwa to inquire about the specific situation of Yang Xiao's family.

After all, it was a small county town, and Liu Sanwa already had an impression of it.

Because the broadband of his newly opened Internet cafe was handled by Yang Xiao's father, Yang Jianguo, and they had talked about the past together before.

Liu Xiaolan quickly found out the truth.

Well, both husband and wife were self-employed and made some money, but that was all.

But this is not what makes Liu Xiaolan most angry.

She couldn't blame a half-grown child for anything.

Luo Yao was originally scheduled to go to Yenching University, but later changed to Sun Yat-sen University, probably because of this boy.

After raising Luo Yao for so many years, it would be somewhat comforting for the couple if she could study at the highest institution of learning in the country.

Who would have thought that such a turn of events would happen in the middle? How could Liu Xiaolan not feel regretful?

Now Chen Li, her best friend, keeps making faces at her, which makes her feel even more suffocated.

But no matter what, Yang Xiao was chosen by their daughter.

No matter how dissatisfied the couple were in their hearts, they would not belittle him in front of outsiders, because that would also be a slap in their own faces.

Liu Xiaolan even had to say some words against her will to protect Yang Xiao in disguise.

While they were greeting each other, the door of the restaurant's private room was pushed open.

It was Luo Yao and Yang Xiao.

Luo Yao greeted them first and said, "Dad, Mom, Aunt Chen, Uncle Yu, hello."

Yang Xiao also put on a smile and called out enthusiastically, "Hello, uncle and aunt."

Liu Xiaolan and Luo Zhengbin nodded.

"Please take a seat. I'll ask the waiter to serve the food right away."

"Oh, Yaoyao, you are finally here, hurry up and sit down."

Chen Li stood up enthusiastically at this time and pulled out a chair next to her.
"Come on, come sit over here with Aunt Chen. Why didn't you come to my house last weekend? If you think it's too far, just tell me. I can pick you up..."

Luo Yao shook her head and replied, "It's too much trouble, Aunt Chen."

"Oh, what's the trouble? In Aunt Chen's eyes, you are just like her own daughter."

At this point, Chen Li said in a hypocritical manner, "Oh, if only I had given birth to a daughter, I wouldn't have to worry about this."

Hearing this, Liu Xiaolan couldn't help but smile and joked:
"Chen Li, you told me at the beginning that it was a good thing that you gave birth to a son, otherwise you wouldn't be able to stand up straight in the old Yu family and would be kicked off the table during meals."
