Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 239 Marriage is a Mission

"Getting married and having children is a task? No one told me that." Lin Ruoxi was stunned.

She would occasionally hear the word "mission" from villagers, and she thought it referred to work content, but could it actually be getting married?
"That's because you're not old enough." Xue Rui said.

He has experienced being urged to get married, and that attitude made it seem like not getting married was a violation of heaven's law.

When Yu Minlan heard Xue Rui's words, she suddenly felt sad, and her parents felt the same way.

I didn't let her fall in love too early when she was in school, but now that she has graduated and has a stable job, I urge her to find a partner every day.

She was not prepared at all. Did that person fall from the sky?

The little girl's eyes twinkled: "When can I... complete the mission?"

Xue Rui was startled. How did he get to this topic out of nowhere?

Isn't the little girl asking: When can we get married? When can we have a baby?

How should he answer this?

While Xue Rui was silent, Lin Ruoxi murmured, "Well, the legal age for marriage for girls is 20, and for boys it's 22."

She did a quick calculation and found that if she followed this requirement, when she reached that age, Xue Rui would only be nineteen and a half years old, which would be two and a half years away from marriageable age.

"Uh..." Xue Rui chose not to answer.

According to Lin Ruoxi, it is a little too early.

"Well, I'll wait for you." Lin Ruoxi said.

After saying that, she felt something was wrong. She hadn't caught up with Xue Rui yet, so she wasn't in a hurry.

Xue Rui's eyebrows jumped. Is the little girl already planning when to get the marriage certificate?

The uncle was amused by the two people: "Little girl, in our place, people give birth to children at the age of 17 or 18."

"Ah?" Lin Ruoxi was shocked, feeling that she was not following the rules.

Xue Rui was not too surprised. He could tell from his accent that the uncle was from Yunnan and Guizhou. People do get married early in some places.

Xue Rui chatted with the people around him about family matters in order to get closer to them. He deliberately chose to chat with the older ones. Those energetic young men who came into the factory were staring at the little girl. He didn't have much common topic with those people.

After chatting for a while, Xue Rui changed the subject: "How is this factory?"

"The food and accommodation are better than in other factories, but the factory's performance is not good. There are not many shifts to work recently, and now I have nothing to do after work." Someone complained.

"There's still a long time before the Chinese New Year, so I plan to change factories." Someone whispered.

Xue Rui listened for a while and didn't notice that these employees were complaining about the bad factory environment. Instead, they were complaining about not having enough overtime and their reduced income...

Xue Rui murmured and nodded. Since the quality of the OEM and the treatment of the employees were good, he had nothing to complain about.

Director He was listening from a distance and thought that Xue Rui was indeed here to investigate the living conditions of his employees. Generally, only high-profit foreign companies would have humanistic requirements for the supply chain. He felt that Xue Rui was still too young and it would be difficult for him to make money even if he had a conscience.

Xue Rui carried the meal tray and sat down with Director He: "Boss He, your cafeteria environment is very good."

Director He suppressed his excitement and thought that it was basically half done.

"I'll ask someone to give me a quote later, Mr. Xue, please consider it." Director He said sincerely.

"Don't be in a hurry. I have something else to talk to you about." Xue Rui said.

With so many companies going bankrupt at this time, it should be easy to find the relevant practitioners, but it would still be a bit difficult for him to find them.

It would be better for him to invest in this small electronics factory. In the future, he will have a lot of experience in OEM of new electronic products. With the influx of capital, it will be a business that is sure to make profits.

Several people came to the office and negotiated for a while. Director He never expected that Xue Rui was not only looking for a OEM factory, but also wanted to invest in his factory.

"This factory belongs to me and my wife, so what I say is final." Director He stood up and shook hands with Xue Rui.

Xue Rui not only has the order, but also wants to invest.

In the following time, Xue Rui found a law firm in Shenzhen. He needed someone to handle many complicated procedures, such as the shareholding agreement and capital contribution procedures...

Xue Rui invested 1000 million yuan, accounting for 40% of the shares of Hongxin Electronics Factory. However, the shares are under Lin Ruoxi's name, and the legal representative of the company is still Director He.

Being a boss is not an easy job. It is not impossible to build your own factory, but those procedures and daily inspections can really tie a person down. It is better to invest in someone else's factory.

After signing the contract, Director He felt a lot more relaxed. He had originally planned to sell the factory, but he didn't expect that someone would buy a stake in it and bring in orders at this time.

"Ms. Lin, it's a pleasure working with you." Director He stretched out his hand, wanting to shake hands with his partner.

Lin Ruoxi hesitated for a moment and looked at Xue Rui. She had never shaken hands with any other man.

Xue Rui nodded. How old is the other party? You can't let him keep his hands hanging there.

Director He smiled awkwardly and politely pinched Lin Ruoxi's fingertips and squeezed them gently.

The scale of this company is not big, and there are only a few people in the R&D department.

Director He also found a few people that Xue Rui needed from related industries. Xue Rui and Lin Ruoxi interviewed them personally and signed employment contracts.

Although the little girl learned a lot from the Internet, and a lot of the knowledge was paid to people in the industry, there is no guarantee that it is suitable for the market.

Xue Rui and Lin Ruoxi came to the R&D department. He planned to make requirements to these people and try his best to develop products that have been verified by the market.

At this time, everyone was talking non-stop.

"If we want to add this interface, the cost will increase a lot." One of them said. "Indeed, this is the first time I have seen this in all my years in the industry. It seems to be the latest interface?"

"The question is who will pay for it? Are there any products that use this kind of interface now?"

Everyone started arguing over a type-C interface, and their opinions were very unanimous.

Xue Rui was not surprised by this. This interface was indeed just launched not long ago. There were no products using this type of interface on the market, and even if one was developed, there would be no users.

When they saw Lin Ruoxi coming in, everyone shut up immediately. They knew that this person was not only from the R&D department, but also a shareholder of the company.

Xue Rui coughed twice and said, "It only needs to be a charging pin. It won't increase the cost much. In the future, more and more devices will use it."

Everyone was silent, thinking that this was a classic example of an amateur guiding an expert.

Xue Rui estimates that in another year, many devices will use type C interfaces. By then, the first batch of people who replace their devices will not have the same wires as those around them and will have to use dedicated wires or adapters, which will be a big pain point.

He only needs to popularize this interface in advance, which will then attract some of the regular users and increase its popularity.

Xue Rui plans to make more than just this product, including USB sockets with built-in charging ports, etc.

It should be the first USB power strip on the market.

Currently, the power strips on the market are still monopolized by a few large manufacturers. Xiaomi has not yet entered the market, but it has already completed the product design in advance. The module is also very versatile and can even be taken out separately to make a multi-port power adapter.

The little girl took out the samples she had made in advance and asked everyone to find ideas from them.

"The product's shell must be simple and elegant, without any unnecessary design. This type of product is for desktop use," said Xue Rui.

These products with low technical content compete on who has more details and who can better solve users' pain points.

Although he may not be able to make money in the later stage, he can still have a piece of the cake in the early stage because he has the first-mover advantage.

"A power strip with built-in charging port?" someone asked in surprise.

He thought about the power strip in his home, which had a bunch of charging heads plugged into it. It would be much simpler if it had three USB ports.

"Well, this was all designed by Xue Rui." Lin Ruoxi looked at Xue Rui, her eyes full of admiration.

Everyone got into the discussion again, and they suddenly felt that the interface they had never seen before was not entirely a problem, and it seemed to have many advantages.

“It doesn’t matter which side is front or back, and has the same features as Apple’s latest Lightning port. It should become popular in the future,” someone muttered.

Xue Rui discussed the needs and research and development direction with everyone.

"Mr. Xue, you can try to apply for patents for many of these, such as the modular snap-on interface." Someone said.

Xue Rui hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll ask later."

Xue Rui discussed with everyone for a long time, and only went outside to get some fresh air when it was time to get off work.

"Hey? Is this Mr. Lin? Why does he look a bit like him to me?" someone said, holding up a cell phone.

"What? Let me see?"

"745 points in the college entrance examination..."

Xue Rui raised his eyebrows and searched for relevant content on the Internet.

What caught my eye was Lin Ruoxi's college entrance examination results, and a photo of her ID that was taken at an unknown time...

Yes, this kind of thing will definitely be exposed by the media.

Many people on the Internet are still discussing where Lin Ruoxi is going, and guessing which of Peking University or Tsinghua University she will go to.

Xue Rui thought it was nothing, the number of views was not high, and everyone would forget about it after a while. Maybe it would be mentioned once every year after the college entrance examination?
At this time, there was no arrogance in the eyes of everyone in the R&D department. Neither of these two young men was simple.

Xue Rui's phone vibrated. It was a WeChat message from Gu Muxue.

Gu Muxue: Xiaorui, have you applied for the volunteer position? I will go home with Aunt Ren in a few days [grin].

Xue Rui seemed to be very busy during this period, and he would send her some work documents and photos from time to time.

So, she usually chats with Xue Rui at night.

Xue Rui replied: Are you going back to Hedong? Then I won’t go back for the time being.

Gu Muxue: [Angry] Why?
She tilted her head. Xue Rui seemed to be avoiding her. She suddenly felt nervous.

Xue Rui: I want to hide from my creditors.

Gu Muxue: Bastard, pay me back [swearing]

She felt much more at ease, but Xue Rui was still the same, always joking with her.

Maybe Xue Rui was really busy? She didn't pester Xue Rui to play, she just wanted school to start soon.

Xue Rui replied: I will go back in a few days.

He is almost done with his work here, and Director He will be able to handle tasks like purchasing by then, and he won't be able to help with research and development.

When Gu Muxue saw the news that Xue Rui was going back, she was immediately delighted.

She couldn't describe how she felt. Xue Rui seemed very busy every day before, but just because she said she wanted to go home, Xue Rui also said he wanted to go home?
Is there such a coincidence?
Xue Rui put the phone into his pocket. The little girl was so sensible. He had to go back to accompany her. There were also some procedures to be done.

Suddenly, he received another message from Qiu Mengze: "Xue Rui, when will you come back? I'll go to the computer city first."
