Chapter 783 Lucid Dream

Chapter 783 Lucid Dream

Huajing, the headquarters of Tianya Forum.

Xing Tian looked at Chen Xi sitting in the boss chair and said with a smile: "No one would have thought that the first place winner of the simulated stock trading competition would be the boss of Tianya! Many netizens want Tianya to organize an interview column and let the top three talk about their experience in stock trading. What do you plan to say?"

Chen Xi thought about it and coughed lightly: "Ahem, as the champion of the stock trading competition, my stock trading experience is to buy the stock market in reverse, and the villa is close to the sea!"

"..."

"Hahaha!" Seeing that Xing Tian had no reaction, Chen Xi suddenly laughed.

I guess no one would have guessed that he actually won the championship by buying the opposite.

“By the way, I think the advertising profit-sharing activity seems to be doing quite well.” Chen Xi looked up and said after looking at the company information in his hand.

"This is all based on your idea. Popular users can earn extra income by opening posts or live broadcasts or short videos to attract traffic to the platform. However, these people seem to think that the share is a bit too little. They think they have made great contributions and want to take advertisements themselves. I think this is not impossible... There are a few anchors who are doing well, such as Wuyan's photography live broadcast room and Bai Baihe's dance area..."

"What the hell are you dreaming about? If this is done, everyone will want to become an internet celebrity, which is not a good thing." Chen Xi shook his head.

"The problem is, if you don't do it, it doesn't mean that other companies won't open this hole in the future."

"That's other people's business. You have to have your own position." Chen Xi shook his head again.

"Okay, it's time to get down to business. Several recently released TV series and movies were named by the relevant departments and asked to be removed from the shelves for rectification. They said that there were some violent and bloody things in them and they were not suitable for minors to watch. But after we deleted the things they pointed out, we still couldn't pass the review. I think it must have been done by the person from the Film Association. Didn't he leave a few harsh words when he left?" Xing Tian suddenly became serious.

"Okay, I got it. Go find me some movies and TV series from that period, and I want to do the opposite." Chen Xi snapped his fingers.

"What's the use? They are obviously human."

"This is just an auxiliary tool, just do it as you are told."

Chen Xi raised the corner of his mouth.

You want to cause trouble, huh? I'm going to kill you.

"Buzz!"

Just as the two were talking, Xing Tian's cell phone suddenly rang.

He frowned and waved the phone in front of Chen Xi, who gestured for him to press the speakerphone button.

A voice soon came from the phone. It was the man who threatened them last time.

"Boss Xing, I heard that some of your movies were forcibly removed from the shelves. How can movies and TV series contain negative energy? This will teach children bad things. Don't always think about those fighting and killing things in the movies. This is the same as your attitude towards others. Sooner or later, you will get into trouble, haha!"

"Are you calling just to show off?"

Xing Tian was a little angry.

"Of course not. I'm a very generous person. I just wanted to ask if you guys are still willing to cooperate."

"I T..."

Xing Tian was about to swear when he was stopped by Chen Xi. At the other party's signal, he quickly changed his words and said that they could meet and talk.

The person on the other end hung up the phone with satisfaction after hearing this, and said to the woman wearing sunglasses beside him: "I told you, they will definitely agree. There is no benefit in going against us. We invested so much in the movie, but in the end it can't be released. What a loss...tsk tsk tsk~"

On this side, Xing Tian, ​​who had just ended the call, looked at Chen Xi in confusion: "Are you planning to compromise?"

"Compromise? There are no such words in my dictionary!" Chen Xi snorted coldly.

He always fights until the opponent is much stronger than him, and he will only give up temporarily, but he will definitely take revenge later.

At night, in a western restaurant on the upper floor of a hotel in Huajing, soft lighting and faint piano sounds interweave into a quiet atmosphere. Candlelight shines on the exquisite tableware, and the silverware on the table reflects a faint luster.

"Wow, a candlelight dinner. I didn't expect Miss Xu to be so romantic. I'm really flattered." Chen Xi glanced at the things on the table, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, with a hint of teasing in his tone.

Xu Yun's outfit today was particularly exquisite. The V-neck long skirt perfectly outlined the fullness of her chest. She wore a diamond necklace around her neck, which looked very valuable.

She crossed her hands and held her chin up, saying lazily, "Mr. Chen, you're finally back. I've been waiting for you for so long."

Chen Xi smiled, pulled out a chair and sat down, his eyes lingering on her for a moment: "It seems that my business trip was worth it to make Miss Xu care about me so much."

Xu Yun tilted her head slightly, her smile deepening: "Mr. Chen's words are really sad. Am I waiting for you just for the business trip?"

"Ha, are you thinking about that game you invested in again?"

"Oh, I thought you had forgotten the efforts of an investor like me!"

"Don't worry, you've also seen it on the Internet. The intellectual world is becoming more and more popular now."

"But this game is free, and there has been no revenue so far! I haven't even received a dime in return." Xu Yun's face gradually turned cold.

"When doing business, don't always look at the surface. Some things have potential benefits..."

"for example?"

"For example, advertising revenue and various channel connections. Others can click in through our website, thereby driving up the popularity of their own platforms, and they have to pay us for all this..."

"I want to see the money now!"

"Well, I also think that the progress is a bit slow. I talked with Mr. Xing for a long time today and summarized the reasons. The graphics and optimization need to be upgraded, as well as the server... We want to make Zhijie popular overseas, and the game needs to be interconnected on three terminals so that players can play more conveniently. So we need to increase investment..."

"What? Still need investment?"

The knife and fork in Xu Yun's hand suddenly slipped, and the metal and porcelain plate collided with a crisp sound, attracting the attention of the diners around. She frowned slightly, and her originally elegant posture was broken by this momentary loss of composure.

"Oh, don't get excited, it's just a small follow-up investment." Chen Xi smiled lightly, stretched out his hand to pull her plate in front of him, and skillfully cut the steak into even small pieces. He picked up a piece and naturally handed it to Xu Yun's mouth.

Xu Yun was stunned for a moment, her eyes fell on Chen Xi's face. The man who usually didn't understand romance seemed particularly gentle and attentive at this moment. She subconsciously opened her mouth and gently took the steak into her mouth, her cheeks unconsciously stained with a faint blush. As for the investment matters he just mentioned, they had long been automatically filtered into fuzzy garbled codes by her brain. Under the candlelight, her eyes were a little dazed, and she didn't even pay attention to the taste of the steak in her mouth.

"What you said seems to make sense. We can't be impatient when investing. I think only those who invest in stocks and hold them for a long time can make big money..." Xu Yun nodded, with a thoughtful look on her face.

Although she was talking about investment, her eyes were a little vague. I don't know if she was thinking seriously about Chen Xi's words, or simply immersed in the feeling of being taken care of.

Chen Xi looked at her, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and he felt a little amused.

This woman actually took the initiative to help him explain, saving him a lot of words.

Without stopping his movements, he forked up another piece of steak and handed it over, saying with a hint of teasing, "I didn't expect you to know a lot about investment. I guess I'll have to ask you for advice in the future."

Xu Yun subconsciously opened her mouth and took the steak. With an expression of enjoyment on her face, she pretended to be calm and replied, "Of course, don't underestimate me."

The atmosphere at what was originally a questioning dinner suddenly became subtle.

"You have so many businesses in Australia, how about I invest overseas? My dad gave me some money recently!"

"Oh? How much did you give?"

"Don't worry about it, it's a lot anyway."

Xu Yun blinked mischievously. She, who had always been known as the Queen of the Sea, now looked like a little girl caught in a whirlpool of love.

Chen Xi didn't know whether the other party was expressing his true feelings or just acting. After all, Li Yuqing had done the same thing before.

It is better to be careful in everything. He poured some red wine for the other party and said, "Well, this money is given to you by your father. Girls usually have higher expenses, so you should keep it for buying something."

"Don't you want to help me make money?" Xu Yun pouted angrily.

"How could that be? Look at the necklace on your neck. It would cost at least millions to get it off. And look at your BMW and the hotel you stay in... I don't know how much you spend every month. If you invest the money and lose it, what are you going to do in the future?"

"It's because the expenses are high that we need to make money. There are gains and losses in investment. I understand this principle. If I run out of money, I can always ask my dad for more. My dad loves me so much, he will definitely continue to give me money."

Hearing this, Chen Xi smiled in his heart again.

How come this woman is smart one moment and silly the next?
"Well, having said that, if I lose money later, you will definitely blame me." Chen Xi sighed pretentiously.

"How could that be? Am I the kind of person who can't afford to lose?" Xu Yun anxiously grabbed Chen Xi's hand and shook it.

"Well, let's eat first." Chen Xi smiled, picked up the fork and started feeding the other person again.

The meal lasted for a long time. Xu Yun drank a lot of wine, her cheeks were obviously flushed, and her eyes looked a little blurry. Fortunately, her hotel room was downstairs, so it was convenient to go back.

After eating and drinking, Chen Xi helped the staggering Xu Yun to walk to the room. The guests who occasionally passed by in the corridor lingered on them for a moment, with meaningful expressions on their faces. Xu Yun's long dress today was not conservative in design, and her chest and thighs were vaguely visible. Coupled with her unconscious state and Chen Xi's slightly rapid breathing, it was inevitable that others would have wild thoughts.

Arriving in the room, Xu Yun kicked off her high heels skillfully, and then fell on the bed. Her long skirt was lifted up by her movements, revealing her two slender legs without any cover, and the edge of her skirt even vaguely revealed the outline of her lace underwear, which was a very imaginative picture.

However, Chen Xi seemed exceptionally calm. He walked straight into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, washed his face with cold water, looked up at his slightly red cheeks in the mirror, took a deep breath, and quickly calmed down.

When he returned to the bed, he saw Xu Yun tossing and turning in bed, her skirt half-taken off but stuck at her waist. He walked over, gently helped her take off her skirt, and then pulled the quilt over her. Xu Yun mumbled something incoherently, holding his arm with one hand, as if she didn't want him to leave. Chen Xi gently pulled his arm out, tucked the corner of the quilt for her, and then turned and left the room.

After the door of the room was closed, Xu Yun, who was originally in a drunken state, slowly opened her eyes. She leaned against the head of the bed, tilted her head, and looked at the door with a complicated expression, as if she was thinking about something.

After taking a taxi back to his hotel, Chen Xi filled a tub with hot water and slowly lay down in it. The warm water flowed over his body, dispelling the chill of the night. He relaxed completely and almost felt drowsy.

Xu Yun's appearance was that of a typical internet celebrity. She was beautiful, but she was not his type. Her figure, on the other hand, was something that made him want to take a few more glances. It would be a lie to say that he had no distracting thoughts in the room just now. After all, he was a normal man. Facing such a scene, it was inevitable that he would be distracted.

However, he knew very well that a woman like Xu Yun was not simple. It was better to keep a distance than to get entangled with a sea queen. Thinking of this, Chen Xi shook his head and put these messy things behind him.

The water gently wrapped around his body, warm and comfortable. He squinted his eyes and leaned his head back on the edge of the tub.

When he opened his eyes again, he felt cold all over. The water in the bathtub was already cold, and it was obvious that he had just fallen asleep. He stood up, grabbed a bath towel and wrapped it around his waist, walked to the sink and started brushing his teeth.

He lowered his head to spit out the foam in his mouth, and when he looked up, he suddenly froze.

There seemed to be something wrong with the self in the mirror, and his movements were not completely synchronized with his.

Chen Xi rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was drunk and his eyes were blurry. However, the person in the mirror was indeed different from usual. With a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, he looked directly at him and said, "Are you scared?"

Chen Xi suppressed his inner fear, frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

"Me? I am you." The person in the mirror chuckled, with a hint of teasing in his tone.

"Shut up your dog fart!" Chen Xi was drunk and immediately became furious.

"Haha, you can also call me 'God'. Facing me who gave you rebirth, instead of being grateful, you speak rudely to me? Aren't you afraid that I will punish you?" He in the mirror said slowly.

"Oh? Then tell me, what's going on with my rebirth? Why are so many things different from my previous life? Were I thrown into some parallel world?" Chen Xi asked back in a cold voice.

"Have you humans seen science fiction movies? According to quantum decoherence theory, the changes brought about by rebirth will actually split into countless parallel universes after decoherence. Time travel will trigger the butterfly effect. The world you observe is different from the original world. In essence, your quantum state of consciousness has collapsed into the universe with the weakest coherence with the original timeline. In other words, you did not change the original world, but jumped to another parallel world that best matches your intervention. For example, you prevented someone from dying, but the future direction is not unique, but presents infinite fractal possibilities similar to the Cantor set. The probability of intervention in key events will show an increase that is counterintuitive. There is another possibility-the harder you try to prevent something from happening, the more it will present itself in another form..." He in the mirror talked eloquently, with a bit of amusement in his tone.

"Bullshit! You claim to be a god, but gods don't believe in science. I just had a dream!" Chen Xi sneered, picked up the glass in his hand and smashed it hard against the mirror.

The mirror shattered without making any sound.

The surrounding scene blurred instantly, Chen Xi suddenly opened his eyes and found himself still lying in the bathtub. He looked at his phone and found that he had been in the bathtub for more than an hour, and his skin had turned pale.

In fact, Chen Xi often had dreams after returning to China in his previous life. This might be a manifestation of his excessive stress. Those dreams were always strange and bizarre, and over time, he got used to them.

People sometimes become aware that they are dreaming while they are dreaming, a phenomenon known as lucid dreaming.

"Parallel worlds, the infinite fractal possibilities of the Cantor set...it's not unreasonable..." Chen Xi, who had watched some science fiction movies, naturally linked his rebirth with science.

However, things like rebirth are too bizarre, and some things cannot be explained by scientific knowledge. They are just psychological comfort. (End of this chapter)
