Chapter 320 Millions in Breach of Contract Fees? (Seeking Monthly Tickets!!!)

"Actually, Professor Zhou can take a look first. These are our research results for this month. We have already produced a batch of texts."

"Let me take a look," Zhou Yue said after nodding.

Then Director Li sent him an electronic version of a document, which he opened without hesitation and read right there.

"It's not very well done," Zhou Yue said, sounding somewhat disappointed. "I think there are still quite a few shortcomings. For example, the ancient characters could have been made in six different forms. After all, there are many variant characters, which are the same characters written differently in different regions or for other reasons."

These six characters all represent the same character, but they present different things.

"Six?" Director Li frowned slightly. "I think this is already quite complete. If there are six, I wonder what the remaining two are like?"

“I have looked at some bamboo slips, and there are such characters in the Bamboo Annals.”

“There are such characters in the Chu bamboo slips.”

He wrote the remaining two characters on the side.

"There are also annotations in some philological works from the Qing Dynasty. This is not comprehensive enough. It only selected annotations from the Han Dynasty. I haven't read enough books."

Director Li paused for a moment.

"Okay, I admit that we didn't do a perfect job." Director Li had seen the two characters, but he didn't take them too seriously.

After all, this character is not very useful. If they were to delve into these variant characters, even professionals like them would need to expend a lot of effort.

"Then there's no need to wait a month. I'll make the changes as I look at your side."

Director Li opened his mouth slightly, unsure of what to say. After all, a single sentence from Teacher Zhou could increase the difficulty of their work several times over.

"In fact, students are bound to make some oversights. Although they are all majoring in the same field, it's like they only found four of these six variant characters. Their academic research is not that profound. But even if they were truly profound, they might not notice these minor details."

Zhou Yue nodded and smiled, "I know, and I allow such things to happen, but if you're going to do academic research, you should do it thoroughly. What I'm saying is definitely true."

"You only need to do the preliminary work, and then you can add whatever I ask you to add, and change whatever I ask you to change."

"I've taken this document back. I'll resend it to Director Li after I've finished reviewing it."

Zhou Yue stood up immediately.

Director Li also stood up to see them off.

In fact, Director Li could also sense that Zhou Yue might be a little angry, after all, they had made the things this way.

But there's nothing we can do about it. This is the best they can do. After all, even if they were to actually make this, there would definitely be a second version, and then a third version, which would be modified again.

Being impatient for quick success in academic pursuits is a major taboo, but no one is immune to it!
Zhou Yue didn't criticize too much, after all, the other party had already collected and perfected almost all the information that could be found on the market, and the product was indeed very useful and good, it just didn't turn out the way he wanted.

But in reality, his ideal is something that only he himself can achieve. Some of these ancient books are things that these people may not have even heard of, let alone read.

Zhou Yue inherited the literature curriculum from his previous life, and some of the classic texts from that life may not appear in this world.

However, some texts can indeed be made into a relatively perfect state as Zhou Yue envisioned.

It involves using lessons from past lives to annotate some of the texts in this world.

Zhou Yue thought it was still quite simple.

He did make some annotations, but many people in this world may not know the source. In that case, there's nothing we can do but apply them verbatim.

Moreover, he had read quite a few ancient books from this world.

So creating a dictionary is quite simple; it's just a matter of merging the literature of two worlds together, which is what he's currently doing.

Otherwise, there would be no need to read so many books.

Zhou Yue was quite satisfied with the results achieved by Director Li and his team.

He soon returned to Ningda University.

Lin Ning immediately pulled him aside and complained, "Brother Yue, you have no idea what kind of life I've been living while you were gone! I didn't even dare to sleep too much!"

"I'm busy teaching during the day, teaching, you have no idea how I manage to keep going!"

"Actually, I thought I did quite well in the structural mechanics course back then, but why does it feel like the structural mechanics course is different now?"

"Later I found out that Yue Ge compiled all these textbooks himself! It's one thing for you to compile textbooks, but you also made the questions so difficult that I had to learn them all over again!"

"And then there's design work. I spend almost seven or eight hours every night doing design work!"

"I've been so busy this past month, I haven't had a moment to rest!"

Zhou Yue glanced at him and chuckled, "You already knew about compiling the textbooks, didn't you? After all, I wrote these things right in front of you."

"And you're doing design work too. You don't need to complain to me. It's true you've been designing for seven or eight hours, but haven't I been spending seven or eight hours with you?"

"Even when I video chat with my girlfriend, it doesn't take this long, does it?"

"Forget it, I don't have a girlfriend. I don't even have that much time to video chat with my mom!"

Lin Ning rubbed his nose. "Brother Yue, what kind of analogy is that? It's like I've been video chatting with my girlfriend for that long!"

"Wait, I don't have a girlfriend either!"

Zhou Yue didn't know what to say. We're both single, okay?

But I spend seven or eight hours a day video chatting, and time just flies by without me even realizing it.

"Keep going. I have some things to take care of here. Even though I'm back, there's not much I can do to help you."

"By the way, how's your design coming along?"

“They were all submitted, but one of them was returned because they said they didn’t want such abstract things.”

Zhou Yue, "..."

"That doesn't matter, just keep designing for him."

Lin Ning scoffed, "I'm going to pay him the penalty for breach of contract and not do it for him anymore. What kind of taste is that? It's only a few million, I'll pay it!"

Zhou Yue quickly covered his mouth, "You can't say that! How can we designers lose money? That would be outrageous. We have to listen to whatever the client says."
