Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 442 Ouyang Wantang
"Li Yan wants to participate in the competition?" Instructor He Jimin shouted directly.

Meng Changge sat opposite him and said, "Yes, it seems that he is determined."

"Why is he still participating in this competition..." He Jimin turned around a few times and actually took out a cigarette, "Old Meng, lend me a light."

"No. What's the matter? Are you so anxious?"

"Are you pretending to be stupid, Lao Meng?" He Jimin put the cigarette back, "Li Yan can't lose now."

"I don't think he can lose either."

"I really have nothing to say to you." He Jimin was anxious, "Yu Keyu can't lose!"

"I'm too lazy to care about these things... How can you say it, academic tycoons?" Meng Changge said with a smile, "I've always felt speechless. How can a competition that promotes innovation among young people become a good place to gild the lily in the eyes of some people?"

"Come on, come on," He Jimin waved his hand, "You are aloof, you are the only one sober when everyone else is drunk. This kind of boring thing has nothing to do with you."

"What else?" Meng Changge spread his hands. "In my opinion, this matter is not complicated. From the beginning, Li Yan and Yu Keyu have nothing to lose. They are both outstanding students in our Excellence Class. We are all indebted to them. Let them fight with real swords and guns. As long as they can show their level, we will all gain."

"Old Meng, Old Meng, don't you know what Li Yan's relationship was with Shang Jing when he was developing the mobile phone? With Li Yan's ambition, do you think he can accept losing to Yu Keyu? Now he can be said to have a certain degree of support. When the time comes, he will talk about the actual situation of the science and technology innovation competition. I wonder how you can still be so stubborn!"

"Why, you dare to do it but not to take responsibility?" Meng Changge laughed again, "It's been so many years, haven't you seen the publicity of 'Tongtiandai'? Everyone knows it clearly, do we still need Li Yan to tell us?"

"Some things, if not weighed, will not weigh more than four taels. But if weighed, they will weigh more than a thousand pounds." He Jimin sighed.

"Where is you, Yang Jinshui?" Meng Changge laughed.

"Bullshit." He Jimin rolled his eyes at him. "You are just watching the show now. It's useless to say more. When your boss asks you to persuade Li Yan not to sign up, I'll see if you can still smile."

"You are my leader now." Meng Changge bowed with both hands, "Just tell me if you have any requests."

He Jimin could only respond with a helpless look.

The news that Li Yan was going to participate in the competition only sparked a short-lived discussion within the company before it died down.

On the one hand, most people thought that even if Li Yan won the award, it wouldn’t be surprising. This didn’t even raise any expectations...

On the other hand, the focus of the discussion was completely covered by another piece of news:

"Jiaolong mobile phone sales exceeded 10 million units, setting a new record!"

It was also on this day that Wei Yili finally found Li Yan after a long absence.

As an investor, he should be the person who cares most about the sales of mobile phones besides Li Yan. However, ever since the sales of mobile phones broke records by a huge margin, Wei Yili seemed to have disappeared.

However, Wei Yunzhi was so happy about the pink phone that she chatted with Li Yan almost every day.

While expressing his love for the phone, he also muttered that he dared not let others know the existence of this phone.

Just like writing a diary, Li Yan even felt that he didn't need to speak at all.

Wei Yunzhi just wanted him to know some of the girl's thoughts.

Also good.

Wei Yili's meeting place this time was directly at Tianhong Garden.

This was not the first time Li Yan went to his house, so she traveled light.

The person who opened the door was a beautiful woman with excellent temperament.

She has a name that is very similar to that of a novel heroine—"Ouyang Wantang".

Li Yan was stunned.

Of course it wasn’t because of Ouyang Wantang’s beauty, but…

Today is Monday, May 5th, and Wei Yunzhi must be in class.

Wei Yili and Ouyang Wantang and his wife met with Li Yan alone.

Damn, this is a bit stressful.

"Come on Li Yan, sit down first. Yi Li is cooking. Drink some juice first. See what you want."

As expected of mother and daughter, their features are so similar. However, although Wei Yunzhi is still young, she seems more heroic in every aspect.

"It's all right. Peach tea, please. Thank you... Auntie."

Li Yan clearly saw the corner of Ouyang Wantang's eyes twitch.

Ouyang Wantang has a very outstanding temperament, combining the grace and elegance of a noble lady with the freshness and literature unique to a female poet.

The aura is actually very strong, but not sharp at all.

I have read Li Yan's poems before. She is a very sensitive and romantic person.

In just a short while, Li Yan had already created a very accurate picture of her image:
A happy woman whose romance in her heart is well protected.

Wei Yili, you are amazing.

"I've read your story."

I never expected that the topic would be approached from this aspect.

Li Yan, who has recently become accustomed to the identity of a business tycoon, suddenly found it difficult to make the switch.

Ouyang Wantang is a very sensitive person. "You've been busy with your phone for too long. Are you not used to other things?"

"Not bad." Li Yan asked, "Which story are you reading?"

"Nangong." Wan Tang replied, "It's very interesting. I watched it consecutively at that time. I used more skin care products that month."

Oh, staying up late huh?

The novel was written not long ago, but it seems like a long time ago.

The scale of time is different for different people. Li Yan has done too many things, almost filling up every minute and every second. Thinking about it, it seems like a lifetime ago.

“I am very happy to receive recognition from readers.”

Now that he is in no emotional state of mind, Li Yan can only say some meaningless words.

“You should love this world very much?”

As expected of a poet... No, a poet is not a profession. You can be a poet for a moment and a poet for your whole life.

The questions asked by the poet are all difficult to answer.

"Why do you think so?" "Words are full of life, you can see it." Wan Tang chuckled, "You are able to calm down and look at this world."

"Perhaps you are right." Li Yan nodded. "Perhaps my strong desire to explore has always been derived from my love for the world. I am sure of all the meanings that belong to me, and even the act of exploring meaning itself is a major manifestation of meaning. It's just that whether it can be classified as 'love', or some other emotion... or even not an emotion."

As long as you have sensibility, it only takes a few minutes to arouse it.

Wan Tang showed a curious expression, "You just said, to explore the meaning? Are you also troubled by this kind of question?"

and also?
"It's unavoidable." Li Yan said, "The meaning of life is probably a question that everyone must ask."

"Yunzhi didn't."

Li Yan's heart was shocked.

Wan Tang showed a slightly sad expression, "That child has been searching for meaning since she was young, and asked many questions that Yi Li couldn't answer. I talked to her about some irrelevant things... Meaning is something that can never be answered. You are also a precocious child, so you may not understand my worries."

Li Yan thought of Wei Yunzhi's several times of enlightenment to him, and felt mixed emotions in his heart. He then asked:
"You asked Yunzhi about the lack of meaning in life, but you also said that she has been searching for it since she was a child... I don't quite understand?"

"She's not distressed by not being able to find the meaning." Wan Tang chuckled, "She keeps searching, but doesn't care about the answer. Yi Li doesn't understand her, and neither do I. We always thought we had to wait until she came of age and entered society, but we were afraid that she would suddenly be unable to figure things out at that stage."

Li Yan didn't say anything.

"We never knew what she really liked. She was still young, but she lived like she was acting."

Li Yan avoided Wan Tang's gaze.

"Li Yan, you and Yunzhi met, right? Were you in the bookstore? Reading Dream of the Red Chamber?"

Li Yan blinked continuously and then nodded.

"That was the first time we heard her share her experiences on her own initiative."

How should I react to this?

"It's also the first time I heard her say 'want'."

"think?"

"She said she wanted to see you again."

Li Yan had already turned her head to the other side and quickly picked up the juice to drink.

Fortunately, Wei Yili shouted from the restaurant at this time, breaking the very delicate atmosphere.

Ouyang Wantang acted as if nothing had been said and led Li Yan to the restaurant with a smile.

Wei Yili's craftsmanship is still very good, with good color, aroma and taste.

But today I’m definitely not here to taste the food.

President Wei seemed to be in high spirits. After all, as the largest investor, he had proven his ability with the explosive popularity of Li Yan's Jiaolong phone. And this man was his rumored son-in-law.

The wave behind is surging with force to beat the wave in front to death on the beach, but when you look closely, you find that the wave behind and the wave in front are actually the same.

What a happy thing.

"Boss Wei, you have to wait until the sales exceed 10 million before you're willing to talk to me?"

Maybe because she was worried that the couple would bring the topic to Wei Yunzhi, Li Yan took the initiative to initiate the conversation.

"No, I was very busy last week, otherwise why wouldn't I even attend the press conference?" Wei Yili laughed.

After watching the two communicate, Ouyang Wantang finally understood why Wei Yili couldn't sleep one night.

"Li Yanna," Wei Yili said, "Do you have an estimate of the total sales this time?"

"About 30 million." Li Yan said, "Yesterday, Sunday, the daily sales had fallen below 600,000. The first batch of users should be almost there. We estimate that 20 million will be consumed at most."

"The first batch?"

"I expect there will be at least three waves of mobile phone sales."

"Oh?"

"I won't go into details." Li Yan poured a bowl of soup, "I'm afraid of being slapped in the face."

Wei Yili and Ouyang Wantang smiled at each other.

The topic then returned to casual chat about whether the food was delicious, and it was time to eat.

Seeing that he was about 70% full, Wei Yili put down his chopsticks and asked:
"Li Yan, what are your plans for the next step?"

“Those platforms have things to do.”

“What happens after the platform is established?”

Li Yan raised an eyebrow and put down her chopsticks, "That's the next thing."

"Jiaolong Phone 2?"

"I don't know, most likely not." Li Yan said with a smile.

Wei Yili frowned. "You mean, the Jiaolong phone is just a flash in the pan?"

"Of course not. The road has been paved, so there is no reason not to go." Li Yan said, "It's just that I don't need to pave the way anymore. Mobile phones are things that can't be used in a new way if the concepts are the same. There are so many experts in future technology, and they can't even follow the same method to upgrade and optimize and come up with 2.0. They can just disband."

"What about you?"

"It doesn't matter if I manage it or not."

After these words were spoken, even Ouyang Wantang showed a surprised expression.

"Since it's not something that requires my help, just sit there. I can certainly make requests and give directions, but if they just don't want to listen, then there's no point in me forcing them. The Jiaolong is mine, so I'll do my best. If it's not mine, then it's broken if it's broken."

Wei Yili frowned even more tightly, "Don't be willful about this, the future technology belongs to your hard work."

"That's not right," Li Yan suddenly stretched out a finger and shook it, "Boss Wei, the Hetu system and Jiaolong mobile phone are my hard work... maybe soon they won't be considered as such. Future technology is not my hard work, it's just a team I put together to realize some ideas."

“What if one day you really don’t bother to care anymore and just let others ruin the reputation of Jiaolong mobile phone?” When Wei Yili asked this question, his expression had already turned into a half-smile.

"Then I will create something groundbreaking to defeat it."

Wei Yili finally laughed, "Good boy, you are really the best in the world."
