System: Master Your Life

Chapter 885 222: Semester's End (Career)

"With Pei Danqing's family being so influential, won't she bully me in the future?"

Chi Linyue asked.

Romantic relationships between men and women aren't just about two people, but two families.

If one family's influence is significantly greater, the other family's voice tends to be softer.

But Xu Lin faced another problem.

It's not just a matter of family negotiations between a man and a woman, but a woman-to-woman power struggle, potentially escalating to a family feud.

Pei Danqing's family is much more powerful than Chi Linyue's.

"I'm here, aren't I? How could there be bullying?"

Xu Lin was amused: "I'm not trying to create a royal family here."

"With your development, it could become a big family someday. What if my children get bullied by Pei Danqing?"

"Why think so far ahead?"

"It's not far-fetched. From what I've seen and heard, even among several children of the same mother, property has to be clearly divided. When it comes to that, even blood brothers might fight."

Chi Linyue said: "People are inherently selfish, whether in high society or among ordinary folks. When interests are involved, blood ties aren't reliable; sons killing fathers isn't unheard of."

"I haven't really thought about this kind of thing. We'll deal with it when the time comes."

Talking about Pei Danqing bullying Chi Linyue...

Wouldn't Ning Yuhuan and others be bullied even more?

But Xu Lin didn't want to dwell on such complexities. He only had a few women, and he hoped they'd all get along. As for their future children, he wished they could grow up harmoniously, untainted by chaos.

"Planning far ahead is useless, let's do something fun."

"What is it?"

Chi Linyue was curious.

But she soon understood what Xu Lin meant, as he gave her a playful smack on the butt.

Chi Linyue immediately got it.

Xu Lin had her lie on the sofa backrest, while he stood behind her.

"Didn't you get enough of Pei Danqing last night?" Chi Linyue teased.

"Enough? You know me well. In a few days, after my exams, I might go home and get caught up in other things. We might only meet after New Year."

"You better do your job well tonight!"

Chi Linyue wasn't pleased.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure you're satisfied, you lustful lady!"

"What lustful lady? Hmph, never mind, I won't argue with you!"

Chi Linyue thought she might be a lustful lady, but she felt it was a normal need, just that she was more carefree.

She was as wild as could be, and besides, Xu Lin liked it too.

So, at this moment, she raised her big moon high.

Seductive as ever.

Even a female demon couldn't compare.

Witnessing this scene, Xu Lin's blood boiled with excitement.

The elder sister sure knew how to do it right.

"How's she?"

"Who?"

"Stop pretending! That Pei Danqing!"

"She's fine, just a bit serious in everyday life."

"Am I better, or is she better?"

"Both have their merits."

"I don't want to hear that kind of talk. Tell me something that sounds good, you brat."

"Honestly, you're better. You satisfy me in every way, versatile, charming, and mastering every style."

"Hmph!"

Elder sisters need emotional value too.

Chi Linyue whined: "Hurry up, I can't wait!"

"Coming!"

Tonight was intense as usual, they were at it until past 2 AM.

But this time they started right after dark.

Chi Linyue was exhausted and fell asleep after a quick shower.

The next day, the 4th.

In the morning, Xu Lin drove Chi Linyue to work, then returned to the apartment to handle some work.

The new game had been released for three days and a night. What was the situation now?

Xu Lin checked.

Number of buyers: 53,698,523!

Over 50 million people, with the game priced at 100 yuan each, the sales exceeded 5.3 billion.

And it's only been three days.

Clearly, it hadn't reached its limit yet.

GTA 5 sold over 200 million copies, Xu Lin was just starting.

Though GTA 5 caters to a global market, Xu Lin's game is only domestic so far, but his is a new era game, without competition. Thus, Xu Lin's game still had room for growth.

"Although the purchasing growth is slowing, by month's end, it's likely to surpass 100 million."

"More servers are needed."

Xu Lin directly contacted Alibaba Cloud Service.

Recognizing Young Master Xu calling again, the staff, upon confirmation, transferred the call to the high-levels at Alibaba Cloud.

This time, Xu Lin expanded from the original 3,000 Shenlong Cloud Servers to 10,000.

A year's rent for 10,000 servers is 4.284 billion, monthly it's 357 million.

But Xu Lin received a significant discount, the monthly cost was only 200 million, saving 1.5 billion.

Whether Alibaba was losing money or not was unclear.

Yet businessmen invest for future returns, small short-term costs for large long-term benefits make sense.

Potential cooperation is the true long-term value, not just buying servers.

Alibaba wanted to collaborate with Xu Lin.

After all, other companies couldn't find a way to work with Xu Lin, only Alibaba managed to reach out.
