Cultivation Shura Field

Shen Lan nodded and said, "Yes, do you think the loud speaker in the playground is just for decoration? I guess the whole school can hear it. Good news, you are much better this time than in junior high school. You will become a school celebrity at the beginning of the school year."

Xu Zhe: "It's not that I want to be famous on purpose, it's just...how should I put it, just for fun."

Shen Lan: "You didn't seem like this before."

"Yeah." Xu Zhe shrugged.

Tang Lingfei had expressed something similar not long ago, but now facing Shen Lan, he felt that he didn't need to explain it. Because that night when they were walking and talking about life and ideals, he had already expressed something similar.

Shen Lan: "Everyone only lives once. I told you that."

Xu Zhe: "You can say more. Anyway, I like to use other people's classic speeches."

He enjoys playing tricks.

Shen Lan suddenly whispered, "Then, no matter what I say to you in the future, can you take it off and say it back to me?"

"That's not necessarily true. I'm not a repeater."

Otherwise, if Shen Lan said "I like you", would he have to repeat it?

Xu Zhe still had no intention of entering into a romantic relationship at this time. He just thought that since he was happy getting along with them, he was happy and they were happy too, then why not?

The basic tenet of utilitarian morality is that there is no unbreakable creed. As long as it is in line with everyone's welfare and meets everyone's wishes, it is a good thing.

Xu Zhe has figured it out. He can be more pragmatic in this regard. Anyway, with his limited experience in love, he doesn't know what the situation will be like after a real relationship is established. He just thinks that when facing the fear of the unknown, the best way is to face the fear. There is no point in escaping.

Shen Lan asked again: "You are going to the imperial capital tomorrow, right?"

Xu Zhe: "Yes, the flight for tomorrow morning."

Shen Lan adjusted the frame of her glasses and said, "I wanted to play basketball with you tonight. Forget it. I won't bother you anymore. I'll talk to you when you come back."

"Wait for my good news. Bye, Sister Lan."

"goodbye……"

Shen Lan waved her hand, turned and walked towards the cafeteria.

After Xu Zhe said goodbye to Shen Lan, he walked out of the campus, crossed the street and arrived at his residence.

Then I saw two girls.

Song Xingye was sitting on a bench at the entrance of the apartment building. Tang Lingfei was gesturing with her hands, but it was unknown what they were talking about.

Seeing Xu Zhe coming over, Tang Lingfei waved her hands vigorously: "Hey, why are you so slow!"

He walked up to the two girls and said with a smile, "It's okay, I can cook quickly."

Tang Lingfei asked again: "What dish are you going to cook for us?"

Xu Zhe smiled and said, "Since we want you to order food quickly, I can't just let you guys order. Let me see what's in the refrigerator, and then you can eat whatever I cook, okay?"

Tang Lingfei: "Okay!"

Song Xingye also stood up: "We are all looking forward to it."

Without even a moment to mourn the passing of the holiday, what immediately came was - the update

When Xu Zhe received the short message from Song Huaifeng, he was a little surprised because unlike before, today Song Huaifeng actually took the initiative to put forward suggestions on the company's development.

[Boss, the company now has a relatively stable cash flow, should we consider expansion? ]

Xu Zhe was sitting at the airport at this time, waiting for boarding.

He stared at his phone and thought for a while, then decided to reveal a little about the follow-up arrangements: [I have indeed considered it, but I am a cautious person, so I want to observe the company's game projects for a while and see how things go.]

Song Huaifeng: [Do we have to wait until the subsidiary's project goes online? ]

Xu Zhe: [That’s not necessary, but I want to confirm the progress of the project. Because the two projects before this were all done by me. I want to see if letting go can work.]

Song Huaifeng: [I understand. You mean we don’t have to wait until the product is launched. We can judge the prospects of the project by looking at the semi-finished product.]

Xu Zhe: [Yes.]

The next message was sent a little later. It was obvious that Uncle Song on the other end was also considering and hesitating.

Then he sent another message: [Boss, I am considering focusing on the company and switching from part-time to full-time. The company's office will also be moved to the provincial capital, which may be more convenient.]

Xu Zhe thought for a moment and replied: [I think it’s okay. ]

----

When Song Xingye was attending high school, he had no idea that his father was facing a choice.

Of course, when we say it is a choice, many ideas have actually been made.

Song Huaifeng stood in the warehouse of a store in the computer city, looking at the dust floating under the dim light, his eyes a little blank.

Suddenly a young voice sounded outside: "Old Song, are you okay yet?"

Song Huaifeng quickly picked up a box of computer parts, covered his mouth and coughed twice, then walked out of the dusty warehouse. He returned to the store and handed the box to the young clerk who had just called him.

The two of them hold the same position, both are ordinary shop assistants, but Song Huaifeng is obviously not as popular as the other.

Just like what other shop assistants concluded, this old Song tends to overthink things easily. He has to think about things that can be done simply and figure out the logic behind them. But the logic of the store is very simple. As long as you have basic hardware knowledge, can convince customers, and think more about how to sell cheap goods at a high price, you will be fine. Compared with hardware knowledge, eloquence is more important.

But this is what Song Huaifeng is least good at. He can draw circuit diagrams and design drawings, but others don't trust him to be a maintenance technician, and he is not familiar with those sales tactics.

In the long run, even though he is an old classmate of the boss and has a background, he is inevitably marginalized and can only do insignificant things.

However, considering his connections, the store manager would not fire him and let him keep his salary. In the eyes of others, this was already very caring for Lao Song, but what was the reality?

The store manager walked over with his hands behind his back, and Song Huaifeng suddenly stopped him.

"Old Song? What can I do for you?"

"I have something to tell you, can you come over here?"

Song Huaifeng took the store manager to the warehouse door, where other colleagues could not notice. Then, he took out a folded A4 paper and handed it over.

The store manager took it and unfolded it, then he was stunned: "Resignation letter?"

Song Huaifeng: "I looked at the labor contract we signed, and I have to resign in writing, so..."

Store Manager: "It doesn't matter whether it's written or not. The key is, why?"

Song Huaifeng: "Because I found a more suitable job."

The store manager looked at the older man and suddenly showed a sneer in his eyes: "More suitable for you? In this day and age, there are still such jobs?"

Song Huaifeng said seriously, "And I think the business of computer malls is on a downward trend. I've learned that many young people now like to shop online. Have you heard of the Double Eleven Shopping Festival held by Taobao? When it first started two years ago, the transaction volume was only tens of millions, but it was almost 1 billion last year, and I don't know how many times it will increase this year. In the future, physical stores that make money by monopolizing information and channels will have a harder time."

The store manager sneered, "Are you stupid? It's okay to buy some small things online, but who would really spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on something big online! Will you buy it? I won't buy expensive things online anyway. Aren't you afraid that all the things I buy are fakes?"

Song Huaifeng said calmly: "As far as I know, the sales volume of computers on the Internet has increased even more fiercely. Besides, are the computers sold in our store very different from the fake ones?"

The store manager frowned: "What do you mean?"

Song Huaifeng: "Just now you said I was stupid, so I have to remind you that I often just don't want to care. Although I can't see the account book, I can estimate the sales of the store. Since last year, sales have been falling every month. Do you think this is due to the general trend of business or your leadership ability?"

Store Manager: “What do you want to do…”

Song Huaifeng: "Of course I can complain to the boss. I have his phone number and I have a reason to talk to his old classmates. And I just found a way out for both of us. I said that the decline in sales is a problem of the general trend, and it should not be the manager's leadership problem. What do you think?"

The manager stared at him, frowning, and remained silent.

Song Huaifeng continued: "Sorry, I got a little angry just now. Because I feel that I am insignificant in the store, so I won't be embarrassed if I resign. There is no need for you to embarrass me."

Store manager: "I don't mean to embarrass you..."

Song Huaifeng smiled and said, "That's good. Let's go through the resignation procedures. Of course, I also know that there are no formalities to go through. It's just a small process."

----

When Song Xingye received the call from his father, he was more confused than anyone else.

Because on the phone, Song Huaifeng told her that he had resigned, and that he would become Xu Zhe's full-time subordinate and find an office in the provincial capital...

"In this case, I can rent a house near your school. You won't have to squeeze into the dormitory, and you can live with your dad. How great is that, right?"

Song Xingye sat in the cafeteria with a bewildered look on her face, and one word popped out of her mouth: "Yes..."

What else could she say? She couldn't just say, "Dad, please don't disturb my relationship with your boss."

But the question is, can I still go to Xu Zhe's residence from time to time and change into a maid outfit? What if my father happens to come to Xu Zhe for something and runs into me...what should I do then?

The girl felt her scalp tingling just thinking about it.

Song Huaifeng was obviously very busy. He said, "Then take care of yourself these days" and hung up in a hurry.

Song Xingye put away his phone silently.

Tang Lingfei next to him suddenly asked, "Xiao Ye, what's wrong with you?"

Song Xingye murmured: "Maybe I will have to live outside the school..."

Tang Lingfei suddenly became alert: "Is he living with Xu Zhe?"

Song Xingye shook his head: "No, my dad wants to come to the provincial capital to work."

Tang Lingfei was relieved: "Isn't that good?"

231.

2023-10-15

Xu Zhe stood in the exhibition area of ​​the science and technology innovation competition, looking at the results in front of him, and felt the feeling of doubting life that his senior brother had mentioned.

The exhibits here are videos and samples, all of which are the scientific and technological innovations of middle school students. In the video, a middle school student younger than Xu Zhe is holding a pipette and saying seriously: "My scientific and technological innovation is the effect of flavonoids on the aggregation of β-amyloid peptides and the mechanism of research..."

But Xu Zhe always felt that the girl in the video was probably reading from a script. She paused when she read β, as if she was not familiar with this Greek letter.

In addition to the screen showing the video, there was also a test tube containing an unknown transparent liquid and a paper paper on the booth.

Xu Zhe dared to bet that if the kid in the video was really the author of the paper and really did the experiment, he would drink the contents of the test tube in one breath.

Because he flipped through the paper. Although he didn't know much about biology above the undergraduate level, just by looking at the unfamiliar academic terms and the entire complex experimental process, he felt that this thing should be a graduate project, and undergraduate biology students probably wouldn't come across it, right?

Looking at the next booth, Xu Zhe took a deep breath.

"My achievement is a solid-state fast-charging battery based on new materials..."

Brother, are you also a reborn? Compared with you, a genuine reborn who can only make some small mobile games really feels inferior.

Xu Zhe opened the paper again and took a look. The new material mentioned in it was published in a materials journal only three months ago. How could a middle school student get the new material in such a short time and conduct such research in just two or three months? And even the mathematical model is so realistic?

He was silent.

Of course, it’s not like there aren’t projects that look relatively normal.Looking further back, there is an "adjustable desk that skillfully uses the lever principle" and a "research on the genetic diversity of species" in a certain area that looks like something a middle school student of this age can do.

At this moment, a girl's voice sounded beside him: "Hello, are you also a contestant?"

Xu Zhe turned around and saw a junior high school girl wearing braces, and smiled: "Yes, you too, right?"

The girl nodded, and suddenly felt distressed: "I should have known not to participate in this competition. It's really hard to memorize..."

Xu Zhe: "What's hard to memorize?"

"My mother assigned me a paper. Of course, I don't have to memorize everything, but the experimental steps must be memorized. The judges will check it later. Have you memorized it?"

"Uh...I can recite it back alright."

He felt that there was no need to emphasize to the little girl that "I am different from you, this is the result of my own efforts." If he really wanted to say something, he should complain to adults, not to children.

But this little girl was obviously obsessed with him. I don’t know if she was being outgoing or just liked this kind of gentle and handsome big brother, but she kept chattering.

Just when Xu Zhe was thinking about how to get rid of it, Shang Pengyu came over and said, "Junior brother, it's your turn to defend your thesis. Let's go."
