Yancheng’s landmark was the Lin Corporation Building, and Xue Yang was actually aiming for that.
You have to admit, he’s incredibly bold, Si Wen mused. I wonder what Uncle Lin would think if he knew about Xue Yang’s idea?
"Of course. This way, my two beautiful ladies," Xue Yang said, opening the door and inviting them inside.
The office wasn’t large, about fifty square ters, small enough to see from one end to the other at a glance. Xue Yang could only offer them temporary seats at Cui Hao and Yu Kexin’s workstations.
Si Wen suddenly thought of sothing. "What are you planning to na this studio?"
Xue Yang replied earnestly, "The ’Yang’ in my na can represent heaven, or ’Tian,’ so I’m planning to call the studio ’Tiani’! The English na will be ’TiMi.’" (Just for fun, haha.)
"Tiani Studio, that’s a lovely na. But what does the ’i’ part an?" Si Wen asked curiously.
"Of course, that’s because I have a stunningly beautiful girlfriend. ’i’ ans beauty. Combine that with ’Tian’ for heaven, and you get Tiani."
Si Wen was speechless.
Damn it, he’d one-upped her again. Still, if a guy nad his company after her like that, she would surely be moved beyond words.
Lin Xi smiled sweetly at Xue Yang. "I think the na is lovely. Let’s go with that."
"Once Cui Hao and Kexin get here, I’ll run it by them. If they’re fine with it, I’ll have a sign made and hang it right here," Xue Yang said, pointing toward the reception area. That spot was highly visible, right at the entrance.
"Oh, right, do you have any more test accounts? A few of my friends want to play, too. Plus, they’re all fairly well-known bloggers on Weibo. I can get them to promote the ga for you for free."
"I do. How many do you need?" Xue Yang replied.
"Give five. I’ll have them try it out first. If the beta test goes well, a lot of people might download it. Are you ready to launch soon?"
"Give another week," Xue Yang said. "I need to sort out the copyright issues."
"In that case, I’ll let my friends test it for now. Once you’re ready to launch, I’ll have them help with the promotion."
In truth, Si Wen was a major influencer on Weibo herself. Her influence was so significant that a single promotional post from her would be far more effective than one from any other major influencer. However, a trump card should be played at the right mont. The ga was just getting started; promoting it with her account now wouldn’t have the best effect. Having successfully launched her own fashion brand, Si Wen naturally understood the art of promotion.
Besides Si Wen, there was Lin Xi. Although she didn’t like using Weibo, she had an account that was even verified with her real na. She didn’t have to do anything—all she had to do was put "Heiress of the Lin Corporation" in her bio, and her follower count would skyrocket. Currently, she had over forty million. She was, without a doubt, the most-followed person on the platform. To this day, she hadn’t posted a single thing. If she suddenly did, the effect would be unimaginable.
After leaving the office, Xue Yang brought them ho.
"Ugh, why can’t we play a little longer?" Si Wen wailed in protest.
"You’ll have plenty of ti to play in the future. Right now, studying is the priority."
Lin Xi and Si Wen were speechless.
Xue Yang ushered the two of them into the room. "Ti to start studying, beauties. I’ll go prepare a delicious dinner for you."
Then, he closed the door.
He headed downstairs to the market to get groceries for the evening. Since he’d just bought a car, Xue Yang decided to celebrate with hot pot.
Hmm, it’s been a while since I had hot pot. I really miss it.
After buying the hot pot ingredients, Xue Yang also picked up a few drinks: Wahaha, Want-Want milk, and Tiandi No.1.
Having eaten a al cooked by Xue Yang once before, Si Wen didn’t complain this ti. Instead, she was quite looking forward to what delicious food he would make.
Two hours later, the sky had grown completely dark. Lin Xi and Si Wen had finished half of their holiday howork. Feeling hungry, they ca out of their room.
On the dining table sat a steaming pot, surrounded by platters of washed ingredients. Xue Yang erged from the kitchen just then, carrying two plates of green vegetables.
"Hungry? It’s just about ready. You can start eating." He placed the vegetables on top of a platter of enokitake mushrooms.
Lin Xi ran over excitedly and jumped onto Xue Yang. "Xue Yang, how did you know I wanted to eat hot pot?"
"Hmm... maybe the greedy little bug in your stomach told !"
"Heehee~"

「At bedti.」
Si Wen adamantly refused to sleep in the sa room as Lin Xi and Xue Yang again. "You two can do whatever you want. I only have one rule: keep it down."
Lin Xi’s face flushed red as she retorted, "Si Wen, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Good night!"
Back in her room, Si Wen didn’t go to sleep right away. Instead, she turned on her computer and called her girlfriends to play League of Legends.
"Ladies, we have classes again the day after tomorrow, so let’s pull an all-nighter! Anyone who deserts gets kicked out of the Seven Fairies."
The Seven Fairies was a group ford by Si Wen, Lin Xi, and five other beautiful girls. Their clique consisted of the most well-connected and wealthiest young ladies in Yancheng. To put it simply, they were the elite socialites of the city. That was no exaggeration.
One of the girls perceptively noticed that Si Wen’s surroundings seed different from usual. "Si Wen, where are you right now?"
Si Wen glanced around. "At a friend’s place."
"What friend? I don’t think you’ve ever ntioned them."
"Lin Xi’s boyfriend’s house."
"What? You’re at Lin Xi’s boyfriend’s house right now?" the other girls erupted, bombarding her with questions.
Si Wen explained, "Don’t get the wrong idea. Lin Xi is here too. They went to sleep, and I was bored, so I called you guys to play a ga."
"Ooh, so Lin Xi and her boyfriend are sleeping together?"
Predictably, they all latched onto the sa detail.
"Yeah, and I slept in the sa room with them last night."
Si Wen’s ears were suddenly filled with a barrage of shrill voices. "For real? You all slept together? Did you sleep with her boyfriend? Won’t Lin Xi get jealous?"
A dark look crossed Si Wen’s face. "Of course it’s true, but we all slept separately."
So that’s how it was.
"Si Wen, hurry and tell us, what’s Lin Xi’s boyfriend like?"
"How should I put it? You’ll know when you see him."
"Then should we co find you tomorrow?"
"Do you really think Lin Xi would want you to co over?"
It was true. Lin Xi was being very protective of her boyfriend, almost like she didn’t want anyone to know about him at all.
"What if we just sneak a peek?"
Si Wen was speechless. "At this rate, I might as well just send you a photo of him!"
"You have a photo? Send it! Send it now!"
