Chapter 337 Come Twice

Oh my god, did I go the wrong way?

As soon as Yang Huan stepped into the door, he was surprised.

The lights in the room were dim, and I could barely see clearly, but it gave me a very weird feeling.

I rubbed my eyes and took a closer look. The spiral hollow staircase and the three-story duplex were indeed my new home.

That's right

Yang Huan turned around, closed the door, and walked in.

"I'm back"

Zhuang Ziqing walked out of the restaurant kitchen with a smile on her face, wearing a floral apron.

"What are you doing..." Yang Huan pointed around and asked curiously.

"You will know in a moment, follow me"

After saying that, she took Yang Huan's hand and walked towards the restaurant.

The two came to the restaurant, only to find a British-style retro candlestick placed in the middle of the dining table. The flickering candlelight seemed particularly bright under the dim light.

It turned out that a candlelight dinner was carefully prepared.

Needless to say, Long Wu and Feng Jiu are definitely not here.

Come to think of it, living with them is a bit inconvenient.

An idea flashed through Yang Huan's mind, he decided to buy the apartment downstairs as well and let them live there.

If two people live in a three-story duplex house of more than 2,000 square meters, would it be too empty?

Zhuang Ziqing took off her apron and sat down face to face with Yang Huan across the dining table.

She picked up the bottle of Chiron's collection of red wine on the table, poured a little for Yang Huan and herself, then sat down shyly.

"This is my first time cooking, you try it." Zhuang Ziqing looked at Yang Huan expectantly.

Yang Huan couldn't help laughing when he saw the delicious-looking sirloin steak in front of him.

"why are you laughing?"

"Nothing, I just think, I must have failed many times, right?"

Yang Huan looked towards the kitchen again. The door was closed and there was no telling what a mess it must be in there.

Even though the light wasn't particularly bright, it was not hard to see that Zhuang Ziqing's face was blushing, but she didn't deny it and nodded slightly.

“Try it.”

Yang Huan picked up the knife and fork, cut a piece, picked it up and put it into his mouth.

Zhuang Ziqing focused all his attention on Yang Huan, watching his every move, watching him put the steak into his mouth, and when he took the first bite, his brows visibly frowned.

This immediately made her heart rise to her throat.

"Is it...very unpalatable?" Zhuang Ziqing wasn't sure herself.

She had tried it several times before but it never worked. This time it looked the best, but she was in a hurry and she hadn’t tasted it herself.

But Yang Huan quickly started chewing it vigorously and swallowed it.

"No, it's delicious. You're good at this."

As he spoke, he picked up the knife and fork again, cut off a piece, put it into his mouth, and began to eat it in big mouthfuls.

"Come, have a drink"

While eating, he also raised his red wine glass.

Zhuang Ziqing immediately started laughing when she received Yang Huan's compliment, raised her red wine glass and clinked it with Yang Huan.

"I don't really like steak, but you're a great cook."

Seeing him eating with relish, taking bites of steak and sips of red wine, Zhuang Ziqing felt so sweet in her heart.

She didn't even bother eating, she just sat opposite and watched, feeling extremely satisfied.

“Give me your share, too.”

Yang Huan quickly finished the portion in front of him and casually snatched away Zhuang Ziqing's portion.

Zhuang Ziqing was not angry. She smiled and nodded, then continued watching him eat.

Before long, two steaks and most of the bottle of red wine were all finished by Yang Huan.

"I haven't had such delicious steak for a long time. Your cooking skills are almost as good as the chef of Mandarin Oriental Hotel."

Zhuang Ziqing giggled, feeling happy in her heart, but she rolled her eyes at him.

"Is it that exaggerated? I don't believe you."

But in fact, she didn't know how happy she was.

"Exaggerated? Not exaggerating. You have already achieved this level of cooking level in your first time. If you practice more in the future, I think those great chefs will not be as good as you. From now on, you will be the head chef of our Wangjiang Pavilion."

"Huh, I don't believe you."

Zhuang Ziqing snorted, but stood up to clean up the plates and knives and forks.

Yang Huan stood up, still feeling a little unsatisfied.

"Remember to make more next time. From now on, our family's three meals a day will depend on you."

Zhuang Ziqing nodded hurriedly.

It turns out that preparing a sumptuous dinner for your husband is such a happy thing.

"I'm going to take a shower first."

"good"

After watching Yang Huan walk up the stairs, Zhuang Ziqing patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

She had been preparing for the whole afternoon, and was so afraid of ruining this candlelight dinner.

In fact, this is also one of her strategies.

Isn’t there a saying?

If you want to keep a man's heart, the most important thing is to keep his stomach first.

It seems that the first step of the husband-stealing strategy worked.

After clearing away the dishes and knives and forks, I walked into the kitchen and immediately smelled a burnt smell.

The trash can still contained the remains of her countless failed experiments this afternoon.

And there was still a piece of steak left in the frying pan.

She was afraid that she wouldn't have enough, so she deliberately got three pieces. Now it's a good bargain for her.

He walked over, gently cut off a piece with a knife and fork, and put it into his mouth.

As soon as it entered her mouth, her face changed.

What's this?

Is it steak?

Can I eat it?

Pah, pah, pah

Zhuang Ziqing spit out the steak in her mouth. It was so disgusting that even she couldn't stand it.

But why was Yang Huan eating with such relish just now?

And I ate two in one go

Zhuang Ziqing was also an extremely smart woman and she understood the reason immediately.

He did it on purpose

He didn't want to ruin his good mood, so he did it on purpose.

He ate two pieces of such unpalatable steak in one go...

When I thought of this, my eyes couldn't help but turn red and tears as big as beans rolled out.

"What's wrong with you tonight?"

After doing something intimate and extremely charming, Yang Huan lay on the bed and let Zhuang Ziqing lie on top of him.

The two of them still maintain the closest relationship.

However, Yang Huan's hands kept wandering on her smooth and pink back.

"Do you like it?" Zhuang Ziqing pressed his forehead against Yang Huan's forehead, their noses against each other, and their eyes met.

Her long hair hung down from both sides, with a faint scent of after-bath.

"I like it, of course I like it," Yang Huan smiled, reaching his hands down to her plump buttocks and patting them gently.

"Then I will be this proactive every time from now on, okay?" Zhuang Ziqing asked shyly.

Yang Huan was amused when he heard this. "How can that be? You always take the initiative. How embarrassing for me?"

After a pause, Yang Huan hugged her with a smile, leaned close to her ear, gently touched her sensitive earlobe with his tongue, and said something in a sweet voice.

"How about we both do it twice from now on, once you take the initiative and once I take the initiative, so that you don't have to work too hard, okay?"

Zhuang Ziqing couldn't stand his teasing and could only nod her head.

With a moan, Yang Huan hugged her and turned over in bed.

Zhuang Ziqing hugged him tightly, letting him move on her body, and devoted herself wholeheartedly to that extremely exciting, charming and moving game.

She didn't reveal her discovery.

Because she is a smart woman and knows what to do.

She just kept her discoveries in her heart and hid her feelings deep in her heart.

Silicon Valley

Eddy Cue walked into Apple headquarters with his head held high.

At this time, there were still a few minutes before work and he had plenty of time, so he didn't walk fast.

Along the way, many employees who knew him kept greeting him.

A 22-year veteran at Apple, he is familiar to almost everyone except some newcomers.

It’s just that he used to be the head of Apple’s App Store business, but now he is the senior vice president of Apple’s Internet software and services, and his level has been greatly improved.

This is because in the past few years, especially in the past one or two years, the Apple App Store, under the leadership of Eddy Cue, has achieved rapid development, not only contributing amazing revenue and profits to Apple, but also bringing a group of loyal and reliable allies.

From the time Eddie Cue was promoted to senior vice president, it is hard to understand how important the Apple Store business is in the eyes of new Apple CEO Tim Cook.

This is a trust, an expectation, and also a pressure for Eddie Cue.

But he enjoyed this kind of pressure.

"Eddie"

As soon as I walked into the office of my department, the secretary came up to me hurriedly and handed me a document.

"What's the matter?" Eddie Ku took it and opened it.

"Two pieces of news. Yesterday, Forbes announced that Facebook intends to acquire the famous British startup WeChat in a package, including WeChat, games, apps, and self-destructing messaging services. The estimated acquisition amount is more than 10 billion pounds."

"Ten billion pounds?" Eddie Ku was shocked.

Isn’t this number too shocking?

This is a startup company that was established less than two years ago, and its market value is worth 10 billion pounds or 20 billion US dollars?

The secretary nodded, "Yes, this is Forbes' estimate."

After a pause, she added her own opinion.

“But I think it’s almost impossible to do so.”

"Why?" Eddie Ku frowned.

Two billion yuan can’t acquire a company that has been in business for less than two years?

"Look at the second page. Yesterday, our statistics came out. WeChat's new game Clash of Clans has a daily revenue of over 3 million pounds. I just checked it out. Today's revenue will be higher than yesterday."

Eddie Ku was a little dumbfounded.

The daily income is 3 million pounds, which means nearly 100 million a month, 1.2 billion a year.

Eddie Kuo had forgotten when game development became a very profitable industry.

In Apple’s revenue rankings, WeChat games stand out.

If we add in the revenue from the games on the WeChat gaming platform and software value-added services, the entire WeChat team is making a huge contribution to Apple Store revenue.

Judging from the share of the Apple Store alone, the WeChat team’s revenue has exceeded half of the market.

This is a very surprising ratio.

Even Eddie Cue has to admit that without the outstanding performance of WeChat and WeChat Games, the data of Apple App Store would not be so impressive and the development would not be so rapid...

But now, the performance of Clash of Clans shocked him once again.

I even have some concerns. What if I am really acquired by Facebook?

This will be a painful blow to Apple.

Thinking of this, Eddie Ku felt that he must have a good talk with the company's core executives about this matter.

At the very least, we have to find a solution

"Go ask if Tim is here and tell him I have something to discuss with him."

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

The secretary agreed and went.

Eddie Ku sighed.

He himself could never have imagined that the game company that was just established in 2010 would bring him such huge trouble now.

If this continues, will the Apple App Store be hijacked by them?

You know, this game company is equivalent to Blizzard in the P domain, with countless loyal fans.

But the problem is that Microsoft has no competitors in the p sector, but Apple has many competitors in the mobile sector.

WeChat's games are not only available on the Apple App Store, they are also available for download on platforms such as Android, Microsoft and Facebook. Once they switch to their competitors, they are bound to take away a large number of hardcore fans.

Come to think of it, it's really a headache.
