Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 1466 - 810: Assimilated (Part 2)

Jiang Ning just connected, and the screen showed Chen Siyu in her pajamas excitedly shouting: "Jiang Ning, where’s Tongtong?"

Jiang Ning turned on the speaker and directed the screen towards Tongtong, who was playing games.

Xue Yuantong turned his head and greeted them, "Siyu, Siqing, good evening!"

Chen Siyu said: "Tongtong, I miss you so much it’s making me sick!"

Xue Yuantong was busy playing the game, the opponent was quite strong in this round, and from what her teammates said, there was a big streamer player on the other side; she had an ineffective Chuchu on her side and needed to use some strategy.

"I miss you guys too." Tongtong replied.

Chen Siyu, dressed in a fluffy pajama, used her hat to cover her hair, looking somewhat adorable: "How much do you miss us?"

Xue Yuantong said emotionally: "Being away from you is like a fish away from a bicycle."

Chen Siyu bit her lip, pretending to be pitiful: "Boohoo, so touching."

Sister Chen Siqing surprisingly wore glasses, transforming into a wise glasses girl, she said: "A fish away from a bicycle?"

Xue Yuantong: "Yep, yep!"

Chen Siyu reacted: "What’s different about a fish away from a bicycle?"

Xue Yuantong grinned: "Nothing."

Chen Siyu got angry, and the sisters abandoned Tongtong, talking to Jiang Ning.

Needless to say, the screen showed two identical faces, one with glasses and one without, which looked quite pleasant.

Chen Siyu said: "Did you see Yu Wen’s QQ space? She bought a 64g phone."

Jiang Ning: "Zhongfei didn’t go watch a movie with her."

Chen Siyu giggled, while Chen Siqing remained composed, occasionally giving her sister a disdainful look.

Chen Siyu talked about being at home during the holiday, saying her parents made lots of delicious food and bought snacks and fruits, treating them well.

"They also said they’re considering getting us new iPhones!"

Chen Siqing whispered nearby: "Including me."

Jiang Ning: "If you’re getting a new one, do it soon, or else they’ll start disliking you in a few days."

The two sisters giggled.

Chen Siyu said: "But I heard people say iPhone 6 is not good, 6S is the better one, but 6S isn’t out yet."

Jiang Ning thought for a moment, the 6S was indeed an amazing phone, significantly better than the 6, and known as the forever-staying phone of later generations, he said: "You can wait for the 6S."

For ordinary families, buying an expensive device like an iPhone, it’s wise to choose a classic model.

The twin sisters knew Jiang Ning understood electronics well, and they happily accepted his advice.

Chen Siyu sighed: "If I really get a new phone, I’d feel reluctant to part with my current one, it’s my first phone! I’ve developed attached feelings to it."

Using it from grade one to grade two in high school, a year and a half, it’s already starting to lag.

These two years are when smartphone performance is rapidly advancing, an Android flagship phone lagging after a year is normal, unlike later Android flagships that remain smooth and fluid even after three years.

Chen Siyu felt regretful, as her gaze shifted to the side, seemingly wanting to play with her beloved phone more, but after searching around, she couldn’t find her phone.

The screen showed Chen Siyu’s puzzled expression: "Oh no, Jiang Ning, I can’t find my phone, I don’t know where I put it."

Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment.

Then, he said: "I see your lighting there isn’t very good, here’s an idea, use your phone’s flashlight to search." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Chen Siyu quickly did as he suggested, while talking to Jiang Ning on the phone, she got out of bed to search for her phone.

Sister Chen Siqing looked at her sister searching for the phone with a flashlight with a ’looking at an idiot’ expression.

...

After advising the wise Siyu, Jiang Ning satisfactorily ended the call, his fingers sliding through the list to find Ding Shuyan’s avatar.

Jiang Ning’s mouth naturally formed a devilish smile: "Good evening, what are you doing?"

The villa of Hu Qi Mountain, built alongside the mountain, on the second floor in a large hall.

Secretary Zhuang was talking to Zhuang Jianhui, Lin Zida was holding a PSV gaming console, playing a horizontal version of a beautiful girl hacking game - Oboromura Masa.

Lin Han, dressed in formal attire, sat next to Secretary Zhuang, chatting occasionally, while a middle-aged aunt brought up a fruit platter, soon heading downstairs again.

Ding Shuyan sat on the sofa, holding a thick book, quietly reading, occasionally gazing out the floor-to-ceiling window, her view crossing the hills, towards the neon-lit urban area.

Due to the rise of Evergreen Liquid, Yuzhou had become much more prosperous within a year, and the entertainment, leisure, culture, and shopping complex mall operated by Lin Han was expected to benefit greatly in the future.

Ding Shuyan lowered her head and read, studying e-commerce theories. She thought about Taobao’s strong rise and noticed her own increasing frequency of online shopping. A moment’s thought, and it was clear that offline models would definitely face pressure in the future; perhaps only dining could escape unscathed.

She listened to her aunt who said that Taobao Group was already in talks with Lin Zhongsheng Group, hoping to reach a brand cooperation plan, allowing online and offline commerce to merge and garner more traffic. This was the need for business model innovation.

Her grandfather and others were still negotiating, and Ding Shuyan felt it was necessary. Cooperation might not necessarily be advantageous, but without it, the future situation could be quite passive.

Now Taobao has already reached strategic cooperation plans with major department stores like Yintai in nearby cities, Lin Zhongsheng can no longer continue to be confined to Hui Province.

As Ding Shuyan pondered, she noticed a message popping up on her phone.

She picked it up to look, and sure enough, it was Jiang Ning.

She replied: "I’m reading a book?"

Jiang Ning: "You like books? Uncle likes you too."

Ding Shuyan tugged at the corner of her mouth, almost laughing out loud from his cheesiness.

No worries, she’s stronger now.

Since she knew Transcendents liked this sort of thing, Ding Shuyan simply acted along; it’s quite easy.

Jiang Ning’s WeChat message popped up: "What’s your zodiac sign?"

Jiang Ning: "Sagittarius."

Ding Shuyan: "Then do you have a sniper rifle? I’d love for you to snipe my heart."

Small bedroom.

Xue Yuantong hummed: "Jiang Ning, you look so silly laughing!"

Jiang Ning restrained his smile, picked up a piece of pomelo, and stuffed it into Tongtong’s little mouth: "Play your game."

Xue Yuantong mumbled with puffed cheeks, continuing his rampage.

...

Time ticked away bit by bit, Secretary Zhuang said farewell and left, Zhuang Jianhui went downstairs to see off his father.

Lin Han rubbed her temple, holding a teacup, walked to the sofa, and gently sat on the armrest.

When she arrived, she noticed Shuyan quietly put away her phone.

Lin Han, ever so keen, immediately sensed something odd. Lin Han frowned slightly, thinking: ’Could it be a romance?’

Something was off; usually, she often took Shuyan to various events, and Shuyan showed no closeness to anyone.

Lin Han, as usual, showed concern: "What are you doing?"

Ding Shuyan blurted out: "Thinking about you."

Lin Han was startled, looking incredulous: "???"

Lin Zida, who was gaming, also cast a shocked look: "No way, sister, you?"

Ding Shuyan finally realized and felt embarrassed inside, accusing: ’Jiang Ning, you got me into trouble!’

She had been role-playing the domineering CEO and innocent wifey with Jiang Ning for over half an hour, her mind filled with corny romantic lines, and now her thoughts were polluted!

Ding Shuyan’s face remained calm, her voice steady: "Just kidding."

Lin Han: "Oh..."

She still felt something was off with Shuyan today, so unusual.

Lin Han smiled and said: "Wow, Sister Yan, rare to see, you have this side too. Last time we went out, a client said you’re even more mature than me."

Ding Shuyan, trying to save face, smiled slightly: "Been quite happy lately."

Lin Han: "Wow, tell me about it."

Ding Shuyan went back into character: "There’s good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

Lin Han sipped tea: "Good news."

Ding Shuyan: "The good news is there’s no bad news."

Lin Han: "What’s the bad news then?"

"The bad news is there’s actually no good news." At this point, Ding Shuyan couldn’t stop herself, instinctively adding: "I just kinda miss you."

After speaking, Ding Shuyan fell silent.

Lin Han fell silent too.

Lin Zida solemnly said: "Sister, you’re getting cheesy."
