Half an hour later, he finished reading a section, put the bookmark in it, picked up the book and put it back on the table.
He lay down on the bed, turned off the light, and prepared to go to sleep.
Before closing his eyes, he habitually opened the interface of the virtual dream device. He knew very well that he could achieve his current achievements in less than a year, all thanks to this dream device.
Therefore, he has to wake up this interface every day to make sure it is still there before he can fall asleep peacefully.
The familiar interface appeared before his eyes. He was about to hide it when suddenly a prompt box appeared in front of him, "Weak network signal detected, connecting, connected successfully, new version detected, automatic update started."
Before he could react, another message popped up in front of him, "Update completed."
"The current network is disconnected and no network signal is detected."
Only then did Chen Xu realize what had happened and almost jumped out of bed.
On Earth, could we actually detect network signals from alien civilizations? This was completely unexpected. He wanted to stop it, but it was too late. Now, there was a prompt on the interface, "The game is being updated. It will take 20 hours. Please wait patiently."
“What if after the version update is completed, I can’t enter the dreamland anymore?”
He was anxious inside, but he could only stand there and worry.
I remember when the virtual dream device first appeared, he entered as a tourist, copied Luo Xiyun to enter the dream, and ended up being her real self. It was obvious that there was a bug in the system.
It is also because of this that their destinies have been closely tied together ever since.
Now, the version of the virtual dream game device has been updated. Will this bug be fixed? Will he be able to use this device normally in the future? Can he still pull others into the dream? He looked at the progress bar and became very anxious.
…………
At the same time, at the Tianluo Group headquarters, the lights in the chairman’s office were still on.
Luo Zhenghai sat in a chair with a gloomy expression. He looked at the mobile phone on the table, his lips tightly pursed, and said nothing.
There was another person in the office, it was his driver Zhang Jun. He was looking at his toes with a serious expression. He stood in front of the table with his body tense.
The atmosphere seemed particularly solemn.
After a while, Luo Zhenghai finally spoke, his voice filled with anger, "Are you saying that Xiyun has forgiven that kid just like that?"
Zhang Jun answered carefully, "When he got off work, Chen Xu gave her a bouquet of flowers in public, and then they went to have dinner together. However, after Chen Xu sent her home, he went back immediately."
Hearing the last sentence, Luo Zhenghai's face brightened slightly, but soon, he frowned again, "I really can't understand what's so good about that guy that she can't give him up. Is your previous investigation really okay?"
"No problem. From junior high school, high school to college, there is nothing unusual in his growth experience." Zhang Jun said. As for what will happen to Chen Xu after he starts working, Luo Zhenghai can get a more comprehensive understanding through the Human Resources Department, so he doesn't have to worry about it at all.
Luo Zhenghai waved his hand somewhat distractedly and asked him to go out.
After Zhang Jun left, he leaned back on the chair and let out a long breath. He still didn't understand why Xi Yun liked that boy.
He had tried various channels to find out and had also asked Liu Kun, but no one knew what was going on between them. There had never been any rumors before. It was as if the two of them had suddenly come together without any sign.
However, there is no logic to matters of the heart.
As far as he knew, his daughter had never dated any other man before, so it was normal for her to suddenly fall in love with a man. If the target wasn't that boy, he might have been happy.
His daughter was 25 or 26 years old, had never been in a relationship, and had never been close to anyone of the opposite sex. To be honest, he had some concerns in his heart.
The reason why he sent Liu Kun to help her was also to bring them together. Liu Kun was outstanding in all aspects and was also single. He would be happy if his daughter could be with Liu Kun.
As a result, she didn't fall for Liu Kun, but instead fell for a brat who was inferior to him in every way.
But, this stinky boy had an affair with that woman named Yang. Every time he thought of this, he felt so sick that he wanted to find someone to sink that boy into the sea.
If he hadn't been concerned about that crazy woman, he would never have been able to tolerate it until now.
Now it seems that Xiyun has fallen very deeply, and it is difficult to separate them by normal means.
Luo Zhenghai sat there, his expression changing.
Suddenly, the phone on the table rang. He relaxed his expression, took the phone, answered it, and said in an especially gentle tone, "Hello, why are you so late?"
"I just fed my baby milk and finally coaxed him to sleep." There was a woman's voice on the other end of the phone, and she sounded very young.
Luo Zhenghai smiled unconsciously, "Sons are just a little noisy. If it were a daughter, she would be quieter."
The woman said faintly, "Do you particularly hope that I give birth to a daughter?"
"As long as it's yours, I like it."
There was silence on the other end of the line for a while, and then a sigh was heard, "You said you would come to see your son last week, but you haven't come yet."
The woman's voice suddenly became a little excited, "Xiyun finally found someone she likes, do you really want to break them up?"
Luo Zhenghai frowned and said, "Don't worry about this matter."
"I am willing to be with you, hiding it from my parents and everyone else."
The woman on the phone sounded a little sad. "Last time, I heard you say you didn't agree with them being together. Your tone was really scary. I thought about us. If my parents knew about us, would they be like you? I was really scared."
"Zhenghai, can you please let them go and let Xiyun find her own happiness."
Hearing her sad tone, Luo Zhenghai's heart softened and he said, "I will visit you and the baby in two days. Don't think too much. Get more rest. Don't worry about the teahouse anymore. You can leave it to someone else."
After a while, a voice came from the other end of the phone, "My parents, are they okay?"
"That's good. From what they said, they want to return to their country to develop. Don't worry, I will help them."
"My mother keeps sending me WeChat messages. I didn't go to meet them this time. I think she might be a little suspicious. If it doesn't work out, you should send me abroad."
Luo Zhenghai pinched his brows and said, "Unless it is absolutely necessary, I will not let you and the baby leave my side."
"I don't want to leave you either. But I really don't know how to face them..." Halfway through her speech, she suddenly burst into tears on the other end of the phone.
Luo Zhenghai comforted her for a long time before she calmed down.
After hanging up the phone, it was almost one o'clock.
He closed his eyes, pinched his eyebrows with his hands, and looked a little tired.
After a while, he opened his eyes, picked up the phone again, and his eyes became sharp again. Xiyun was his daughter, how could he not care?
That man was entangled with Yang Jinxia, and even if he didn't consider anything else, he would never let his daughter get involved.
He dialed a number and it rang seven or eight times before the call was connected.
"It's so late, and it's not appropriate to call your widowed sister-in-law." A lazy voice came from the other end of the phone.
He said in a deep voice, "Yang Jinxia, I won't beat around the bush with you. Keep an eye on your man and don't let me see him pestering Xiyun."
"Huh? Did I hear that correctly?"
Yang Jinxia's voice was a little surprised, "At the beginning, you threatened me to leave him."
"The past was the past, and the present is the present. I don't care what method you use, as long as you can make Xiyun give up on that man, I can ignore your relationship with him."
"Heh." Yang Jinxia chuckled, "How should I know if you will cross the river and destroy the bridge after achieving your goal?"
Luo Zhenghai sneered, "Don't pretend. We all have our own handles. It will not benefit us if we fall out."
Yang Jinxia's tone became lazy, "What a pity, I have no intention of getting back together with him yet."
"If you really thought that, you wouldn't have shown up at the hospital last time."
"What I think is not important. I think that according to the current development of their relationship, maybe in a year, they will get married. By then, you may be a grandfather..."
Luo Zhenghai's expression turned gloomy. "What do you want?"
"I just want to tell you that it is too naive to think that you can achieve your goal without paying any price."
Luo Zhenghai was silent for a moment and asked, "What do you want?"
"There is a Luowang real estate agency under the Tianluo Group, and I want it. Don't worry, I will buy it at the normal market price. I won't let you suffer any loss. Of course, you can't do anything about it, otherwise, you can just wait to become a grandfather."
"I'll give you an answer tomorrow." Luo Zhenghai said, hung up the phone, and thought about Yang Jinxia's intention.
He had been keeping an eye on Jinxiu Investment and discovered that she had secretly acquired several large brokerage companies. Together with the brokerage companies under the Tianluo Group, she had the largest market share.
She actually fell in love with this industry? Or was she just pretending to be a good person, aiming at Pei Gong, and her real goal was the real estate industry?
He has always been wary of this woman and extremely concerned about her actions.
He weighed it over for a while and decided that it was just an agency and there was no need to be too wary.
He was mentally prepared to be blackmailed by Yang Jinxia this time, and the price he paid this time was not too high, and it was within his acceptable range. Even if she made more excessive demands, for Xiyun, he would accept it.
PS: Please give me the guaranteed monthly ticket at the beginning of the month.
