Rebirth at the Start: This Fate is Too Explosive!

Chapter 64 One is full of youthful energy, the other is relieved.

The deafening background music echoed throughout the private room.

Lu Qinghe was holding a microphone and singing a classic old song, "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies," at the top of his lungs.

Her voice is actually very pleasant, with an intellectual undertone, but at this moment it is completely unrestrained, carrying an almost cathartic and unrestrained feeling.

With her eyes closed, she swayed her body to the rhythm, as if she wanted to shout out all the grievances, resentment, and confusion of the past few months through her singing.

"Forgive me for my untamed and free-spirited nature throughout my life... but I'm also afraid that one day I'll fall..."

She sang with great passion, even with a slight sob in her voice, but more than anything, it was a feeling of exhilaration at breaking free from a cage.

Ye Fan leaned back in the soft sofa, holding a can of iced cola in his hand, and smiled as he looked at her.

He understood her release. He didn't request any songs, but simply listened attentively, occasionally nodding and clapping along to the rhythm.

When the song ended, Lu Qinghe put down the microphone, panting. Her face was flushed from excitement and exertion, and fine beads of sweat even appeared on her forehead, but her eyes shone brightly, full of revitalized energy. She grabbed a glass of ice water from the coffee table and gulped it down.

"Relax! I've never felt so relaxed!" She laughed and sat back on the sofa, looking at Ye Fan. "Ye Fan, why aren't you singing? All I've heard is my wailing and howling!"

"Listening to Teacher Lu sing is a real treat," Ye Fan said with a smile, handing her a slice of watermelon. "Especially when you sing about the feeling of 'freedom'."

Lu Qinghe took the watermelon and took a bite; the sweet juice relieved the dryness in his throat.

She looked at Ye Fan with a complex expression, a mixture of gratitude, curiosity, and a faint anticipation for the future.

"Ye Fan, to be honest, I still feel like I'm dreaming. In one afternoon, I lost my 'teacher' status, got divorced, and then... joined a company founded by my students? Even novels wouldn't dare to write a plot like this."

"Reality is often more exciting and less logical than fiction."

Ye Fan picked up another microphone and selected the rousing song "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart." As the music intro began, he said, "Teacher Lu, our Red Bean Capital stage has just been set up. Are you ready to perform a grand show with me?"

He stood up and walked to the small stage in the center of the box, the neon lights illuminating his young yet upright figure. As the first line of lyrics began, his voice was clear and powerful:

"Where exactly is this world filled with flowers...? If it truly exists, I will definitely go there..."

The voice was not loud, but every word was clear, carrying a resolute determination that penetrated the heart and an infinite yearning for the future.

He didn't have Lu Qinghe's explosive energy, but he possessed a calm confidence that allowed him to control the rhythm and was determined to succeed.

Looking at the figure that seemed to be glowing under the lamplight and listening to his powerful singing voice, Lu Qinghe's last trace of doubt and confusion completely disappeared.

She picked up her microphone, walked over to Ye Fan, and joined the chorus:

"I want to stand on the highest peak there... I don't care if it's a cliff or a precipitous wall..."

Her voice intertwined with Ye Fan's, one carrying the clarity of liberation, the other the composure of guiding the future. They smiled at each other, their unspoken understanding flowing through their song.

"Run forward...in the face of cold stares and ridicule..." they sang together, their voices full of power, as if announcing a new beginning to the whole world.

On the coffee table, several bottles of beer had already been opened, and most of the fruit platter had been eaten.

In Lu Qinghe's handbag, the slightly crumpled divorce papers from the past seemed so insignificant under the changing neon lights.

And on her face at this moment, a confident and bright smile, belonging to the future and to Lu Qinghe, the third employee of "Red Bean Capital," was blooming.

After Ye Fan finished singing the last line, he put down the microphone, looked at Lu Qinghe who was beaming beside him, and raised the can of Coke in his hand.

Lu Qinghe boldly picked up a can of beer and slammed it against Ye Fan's can of cola, making a crisp sound.

The cool liquid slid down my throat, carrying a slightly sweet taste and the stimulating sensation of bubbles bursting.

Inside the private room, the music was still lingering. Outside the window, the city's neon lights continued to flicker.

But in this small space, two hearts that had experienced ups and downs came together closely because of a common goal, a dream called "Red Bean Capital".

.............

The neon signs of the KTV gradually faded into the distance behind us.

A gentle summer night breeze caressed their flushed cheeks.

Lu Qinghe suddenly stopped, her white skirt tracing an elegant arc as she turned.

"Ye Fan, thank you!"

Her voice was softer than the night breeze, yet every word was clear.

The moonlight outlined the delicate contours of her profile, and her eyes, which always held a gentle smile, shone with an astonishing brightness.

She walked backwards with her hands behind her back, her high heels clicking merrily, as if she were about to break into a dance. The night breeze ruffled the stray hairs at her temples, revealing a faint bruise.

"I'm very happy today, um...very happy, I'm in a great mood!"

She still retained a teacher's reserve deep down, but she had shed most of it. In front of Ye Fan, there was less of an invisible barrier and more of a subtle feeling!

Ye Fan grinned:

"Teacher Lu, since you're so happy, let's take a group photo!"

"Okay! Sure!"

She jogged closer, her faint scent of jasmine mingling with a hint of red wine.

Ye Fan held up her iPhone 5s, and the screen reflected the smiling faces of the two of them standing side by side, one radiating youthful energy, the other looking relieved.

.............

On the way home.

Ye Fan walked slowly with his hands in his pockets, outlining the company's development blueprint in his mind.

The company has been registered, and Liu Ruyan even made a special trip to Jinling to rent an office space!

He rejected the original plan to register the company in Nanzhou, since he would be based in Nanjing for the next four years, so why go through an extra complicated cross-regional relocation procedure?

"Liu Ruyan is quite efficient." Ye Fan's lips curled up slightly.

This decision was correct. Although it made Liu Ruyan make a special trip to Jinling, it saved her countless troubles later.

Once we return from Beijing after negotiating the investment with ByteDance, Red Bean Capital will be able to start operating directly in that office.

The average price of new residential homes in downtown Nanjing is around 17000 yuan per square meter, while higher-end homes can reach 2 to 3 yuan per square meter.

It will more than double in five years!

The price of commercial office land has increased even more outrageously, by at least three times!

Especially the Xinjiekou area, but Xinjiekou is positioned as a traditional commercial center, while the Hexi CBD is what Ye Fan is considering.

The area west of the river is Nanjing's modern and international central business district, which has been developed in recent years! It integrates finance, economy, exhibitions, culture, and commerce, and is known as the "second CBD in East China," second only to Lujiazui in Shanghai.

It has already attracted a large number of Fortune 500 companies, financial institutions and multinational corporations to set up operations here!

and so!

Ye Fan wants to buy a piece of land there, to buy an office area!
