She remembered to buy me a new one?” Liu Jingrong sat on the sofa, holding the box, and smiled at his sister Liu Wan, who was watching TV.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wan lazily replied, “She’s taking Shan Shan for a walk outside. I said it was hot, but she insisted on going out. This razor? Your beloved senior disciple bought it for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jingrong paused, then let out a huff: “He’s thoughtful, isn’t he?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, why else would he specifically buy a razor? He probably noticed your old one—still using it even after losing a head. He’s really careful,” Liu Wan praised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jingrong ran his fingers over the new razor without testing it, and sighed deeply: “How much money does he even make? He’s already buying me things.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly, so he had to go to Shanghai to earn money—this is probably his farewell gift to his teacher,” Liu Wan smiled. “I hope he makes big money in Shanghai, so you won’t look down on him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not looking down on him, I’m just…” Liu Jingrong frowned. “Wait, why is he going to Shanghai? Did something happen again in Jin Ling?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wan replied succinctly: “Business expansion requires it. If they don’t scale fast, they’ll probably die.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jingrong was startled and wanted more details, but his sister had no interest in talking—she just wanted to watch TV. So he physically cut the power, turning off the TV with the remote.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wan sighed, then described the business situation, the looming threat, and Yu Xing’s strategic thinking to her still-concerned brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jingrong was even more shocked: “If NetEase does the same business, how can he compete? Targeting college students? That’s fantasy. If I’d known this company gave all its money to sales reps, I’d have worried whether it could even honor my order—why would I ever buy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He already understood how his senior disciple’s company worked—it wasn’t complicated at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So now he could discuss its problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wan shook her head: “So don’t buy if you don’t want to. There are plenty who will. His business targets a specific group—and his counterattack strategy is the same.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jingrong stared at his sister, his face clearly reading: “I don’t get it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A hundred couples—you think he wants a hundred orders? Of course not. Getting five is already good,” Liu Wan patiently explained. “The other ninety-five don’t trust him? Fine. Five orders are enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Similarly, if NetEase launches a similar service after reporting on Gui’ai Net, Yu Xing fights back. Facing a thousand or ten thousand students, even if ninety percent doubt his project and think it won’t succeed, he only needs ten percent to believe and support him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, I think the ratio might be even higher. Those potential customers aren’t thinking as customers—they’re identifying with the bullied college startup team.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As long as there’s noise—whether positive or negative—Yu Xing gets what he wants. He just needs to attract some customers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wan shared what she could see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jingrong frowned deeply and fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, he asked: “Can this work? NetEase is such a huge company—how can he beat them? Where did he learn these messy tactics?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, you old-fashioned stick-in-the-mud!” Liu Wan sat up straight, no longer lounging. “Under this potential threat, Yu Xing is clearly the good guy compared to NetEase.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If the villain drops his bloody knife and suddenly becomes a saint, why should the good guy be condemned for using clever tactics?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These aren’t messy tactics—they’re Yu Xing’s only way to fight back with limited resources!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He wishes he had a teacher who could invest in him, a girlfriend with resources, a mature team—but he only has these few cards, so he’s squeezing every drop out of them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Objectively speaking, I think his planning is excellent. If something unexpected happens, that’s…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not his fault.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wan made this evaluation of Gui’ai Net’s founder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jingrong sighed: “But he’s just a tiny operation—NetEase is a giant.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Laozi said softness overcomes hardness—what’s the basis?” Liu Wan smiled. “Inner resilience. Yu Xing is resilient. Honestly, I think he’ll reach his goal—it’s just a matter of how much he earns.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jingrong stood up: “I hope so.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Liu Wan wasn’t speaking to her brother—she was thinking aloud: “I’m wondering about something else. Yu Xing has almost no cards, yet he’s already finding ways to play them. What if he actually gets some good ones—what could he pull off then?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m going to find your sister-in-law. It’s really hot tonight,” Liu Jingrong placed the box back on the table and shook his head as he left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Wan didn’t care—she wanted to keep watching TV, but she fumbled around the sofa and couldn’t find the remote: “Hey, where’s my remote?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jingrong stepped outside, didn’t go to find his wife, pulled his phone from his left pocket—no, he pulled out a remote. Then he reached into his right pocket and pulled out his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked slowly, thinking left and right, never dialing, only sending a concise text to his senior disciple: “Don’t break the law. Take care of yourself. If it fails, come back and work for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jingrong waited a long time before receiving his senior disciple’s reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Okay, take care of Madam and Shan Shan. Wishing Teacher a happy family and everlasting fulfillment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jingrong sighed, certain his senior disciple had carefully weighed his words before replying so slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he took two more steps, he received a second text.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—By the way, if my mom calls you, cover for me—say I’m in the lab. Thanks, Teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Jingrong stowed his phone without expression. “Rebellious disciple! Rebellious disciple!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With increased external threats from NetEase, Gui’ai Net must accelerate its development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing affairs in Jin Ling, Yu Xing repeatedly consulted Zhong Zhiling, Lu Haiying, and team leaders. Though still uneasy, on Saturday he boarded a bus to Shanghai with Feng Zongze and Cui Jingwei, who were willing to follow him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Ling and Shanghai were only 300 kilometers apart—less than half a day’s travel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Feng Zongze, who had never been to Shanghai, remained curious and excited about the international metropolis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director Yu,” Feng Zongze said, having changed his address as his senior instructed, “Where in Shanghai are we going?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xing sat with his eyes closed, resting: “Songjiang University Town.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Zongze pressed: “Why there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xing replied simply: “Because it has no walls.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Zongze bowed his head in respect—no wonder he was his senior, no wonder he was Director Yu—his words carried hidden meaning, truly elegant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he actually arrived at Songjiang University Town in Shanghai, he was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director Yu, wait—there really are no walls here?” Feng Zongze blurted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Songjiang University Town doesn’t have walls—it promotes resource sharing among the universities,” Yu Xing frowned at this capable team leader. “What did you think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Zongze stammered: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>",1186,"2026-06-19T22:51:34.189Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","3a55f869f3397d3d5462ab8a1613a44a59d500ab43a31cdca165124f7d13ec8f","what-s-wrong-with-me-being-the-last-to-get-rich-chapter-35","what-s-wrong-with-me-being-the-last-to-get-rich-chapter-33",328,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwhat-s-wrong-with-me-being-the-last-to-get-rich-cover.jpg"]
