Xu Zhe: "If I tear one a day, it won't be enough..."

Shen Lan opened the door and couldn't help but pat his arm, saying angrily, "Why didn't I notice that you were so talkative before?"

Xu Zhe: "Just be honest with each other."

343. Chapter 340 339 Has the regularization been approved?

343.

At midnight, Xu Zhe and Shen Lan lay in bed together.

The lights had been turned off long ago, leaving only a faint light in the room, which was a thin ray of light from the outside lights shining through the gaps in the curtains.

Therefore, the boy and girl could not see each other at all, and could only sense each other's existence through touch. And this sense of touch no longer had the stimulation it had an hour or two ago, leaving only warmth and affection.

In the silent room, the girl's voice suddenly rang out: "I can't sleep."

Xu Zhe: “Me too.”

Shen Lan: "What are you thinking about?"

Xu Zhe: "It's hard to say. My mind is in a mess. It seems like I'm thinking about everything and nothing at the same time."

Shen Lan joked: "It sounds a bit like color is emptiness and emptiness is color."

Xu Zhe: "This is probably the Sage Time... No, actually it's not the Sage Time anymore. It's been so long."

Shen Lan: "What does Sage Time mean?"

Xu Zhe laughed silently.

In daily life, especially in study and work, Shen Lan is undoubtedly very smart and knowledgeable. But once it comes to certain aspects, her knowledge points are exposed. Teaching "knowledge" to such a smart girl is undoubtedly a different kind of fun.

So he explained: "After that kind of thing, there will be a period of time when boys are in a strange state of having no desires or demands. They may feel empty and even think about some philosophical questions."

Shen Lan: "Does it happen to girls too? Or is it limited to boys?"

Xu Zhe: "You can't ask me that. I have to ask you. Do you have any special feelings after we finished what we did just now?"

"Special feelings..." Shen Lan pondered, "I think so."

Xu Zhe: "Then please tell me, Sister Lan, what is the state of a girl's sage time?"

Shen Lan was silent for a few seconds, and then her tone became a little willful: "I won't tell you!"

Xu Zhe: "Why are you..."

Shen Lan: "What's wrong with me?"

"Forget it, it's nothing."

Xu Zhe originally wanted to say, "Why are you suddenly a little tsundere like Feifei?" But he has brains after all, and mentioning other girls at this time is really asking for a fight.

Shen Lan changed the subject: "By the way, do you remember what we talked about during the winter vacation? The probation period is half a year, do you remember?"

Xu Zhe: “Of course I remember.”

Shen Lan: "Now the six-month probation period has come to an end. Is Mr. Xu satisfied with me?"

Xu Zhe: “Very satisfied.”

Shen Lan: "Then I want to ask, Mr. Xu, do you think I have passed the probation period, or..."

The girl's tone was a little long, deliberately creating a sense of leisurely confidence. But at the end of the last few words, there was a slight tremor, revealing her uneasiness.

Xu Zhe was silent.

The more he remained silent, the more anxious Shen Lan became. She suddenly added, "If you're worried, we can extend the trial period, okay?"

Xu Zhe had already found an excuse: "If you ask me whether I passed the probation period, I definitely won't give you a negative answer. But to be honest, I'm a little worried."

Shen Lan: "What are you worried about?"

Xu Zhe: "Once this summer is over, we will be in a long-distance relationship in the new semester. We will be so far apart..."

"Not far!" Shen Lan couldn't help but interrupt, "I can take a plane to see you anytime. How far is that?"

Xu Zhe: "But you can't stay with me after all. We spend more time apart in a year."

Shen Lan closed her mouth, but even her breathing seemed to tremble.

Xu Zhe considered it and continued, "Besides, we all have a lot of work to do. As I said before, I don't want it to affect our work."

There was a long silence, and when the girl spoke again, her trembling voice could no longer be concealed.

Shen Lan: "You mean, you don't want our relationship to affect our work... Because we are younger than all the employees, and if we are in love all day long, it will be even less dignified, right?"

She is indeed a smart girl. She has already told Xu Zhe the reasons that he hasn’t said yet.

So Xu Zhe said, "Yes, that's it."

"You know... just now you asked me if girls have sage time. I don't know if other girls have it, but I really have that feeling. It's hard for me to describe that feeling. How should I put it? It's as if nothing else in the world matters. Everything is blank, except for you."

Shen Lan murmured, her voice vague and vague, as if she was discussing philosophical questions.

But the words that come out of my mouth have less and less to do with rationality.

She continued, "It was a feeling I had never had before. Before, I would say I like you, only you. But when I was lying on the bed, I felt like I was lying in a cloud, like I was free falling. I was a little scared because I found that I seemed to have become another person."

Xu Zhe couldn't help but ask: "What do you mean?"

Shen Lan suddenly turned over, pressed on him, and murmured in his ear: "Forget it, it doesn't matter anyway. As long as you want to do something, we will do it. If you don't want to affect your work, then fine, just don't tell anyone like before. But I just want to know, when I call myself your girlfriend in the future, can I remove the word "trial"? "

Xu Zhe took a deep breath: "Absolutely."

Shen Lan hugged him and said with a happy smile: "It seems that I have passed the job promotion, Mr. Xu."

Xu Zhe: "Being formally certified is just the beginning..."

Shen Lan: "Don't worry, just wait and see how I perform in the future!"

Xu Zhe's mood was quite complicated at this time. He said "it's just a beginning" because he felt that he would have to maintain multiple relationships at the same time in the future, and there would be many difficulties waiting for him. For example, how to tell Shen Lan about his true wishes? Or should he keep it a secret from her?

But when Shen Lan said, "It depends on my performance in the future," Xu Zhe found it even harder to speak. With a girl taking the initiative to this extent, would he have the nerve to make more excessive demands?

At present, it seems that we can only keep it a secret and wait and see how it develops in the future...

After a while, Shen Lan suddenly asked, "How do you feel?"

Xu Zhe: "What does it feel like?"

Shen Lan: "Will it make you uncomfortable if I lie on you like this?"

Xu Zhe: "It's actually not that bad, but I really can't sleep like this."

So Shen Lan turned over, lay back in her original position, and said, "Just like now, if you have any ideas, be sure to tell me."

Xu Zhe: "I understand..."

Shen Lan added: "As long as it is your request, I will try my best to meet it."

Now, Xu Zhe was speechless and could only silently hold the girl's hand.

344. Chapter 341: The Game of 340 Giants

344.

The secret auction of Eureka Company has begun.

The auction took place on the campus of Shanghai Jiaotong University. This Sunday, the school had reserved a whole floor of the teaching building for them. However, the four potential buyers, plus the founding members of Eureka, only had about 30 to 40 people in total.

All these people sitting together couldn't fill up a large classroom, not to mention that they were scattered across five classrooms. As a result, the entire floor seemed particularly empty and quiet.

Xu Zhe sat in one of the classrooms. Beside Zou Tianyan and three doctoral students, there was only Shen Lan beside him. Teacher Zou and his students all had some sparse hair on their heads, but to varying degrees. Compared to them, Xu Zhe and Shen Lan, a pair of good-looking boys and girls, seemed a little out of place, especially Shen Lan.

But they only took a quick look at the short-haired beauty and didn't look at her any more. After all, today's auction was too important and they couldn't afford to be careless.

There was a laptop in front of everyone, and there was a router on the empty table in the front row.

Considering that all parties involved in the auction are Internet giants, they have no shortage of hardcore technology geeks, and when it comes to this level of competition, Xu Zhe does not dare to overestimate the moral standards of all parties. Therefore, the possibility of cheating must be eliminated in advance.

Without going to any party's home court, or using any party's platform or software, Mr. Zou simply led people to set up a LAN email server, and then let everyone communicate via email on this self-created platform that eliminated as many loopholes as possible.

Even the computers used by potential buyers were prepared by Teacher Zou.

Suddenly, Teacher Zou turned around and asked, "They are all OK, shall we start now?"

Xu Zhe nodded: "Let's get started."

So Teacher Zou pressed the Enter key and sent the prepared emails to the four companies at the same time.

Xu Zhe glanced at the girl beside him and asked quietly, "The starting price for the first round is 15 million mi yuan. Guess who has the highest bid?"

Shen Lan analyzed the situation carefully: "I don't know Deep-mind, but I have heard of the other three companies too many times. Softmicro should be the richest. I don't know how much they have made from the Windows system alone over the years. Google is also very powerful. Now, except for our country, everyone in the world uses their search engine. I also heard that Google has recently started to acquire some technology companies and is very generous. Of course, Baidu is not weak either. Anything below 100 million yuan is a small amount of money for them."

Xu Zhe nodded: "So what is your conclusion?"

Shen Lan: "The financial resources of these three companies are all at the level of super BOSS, so it depends on their determination. The one that is more determined will be more reluctant to let go. I think Deep-mind can be ruled out, because its financial resources alone cannot compare with these three companies. Eureka's visual algorithm seems to be most useful for search engines, so you are most optimistic about those two companies, Qiandu and Gugou, right?"

Teacher Zou suddenly reminded: "Everyone has made an offer, all above 1,500 yuan, and the highest is Softmicro, at 1,800 yuan."

Shen Lan couldn't help but patted his chest: "Eighteen million miyuan..."

Xu Zhe: "Did Deep-Mind also bid?"

Zou Tianyan: "Yes, although the offer is the lowest, 1560 million."

Xu Zhe: "It's really hard for them. They've only been in business for two or three years and they're trying to snatch our business away. Well, let's continue according to the plan."

According to the plan agreed upon by everyone, after each round of bidding, the highest price and the bidder will be revealed to let the other parties know. Then after 30 minutes, the next round of bidding will begin.

So half an hour later, the results of the second round of bidding came out.

This time, when Mr. Zou was about to remind him, he heard Xu Zhe sigh: "Deep-mind is really persistent..."

Shen Lan also said: "No way, they actually put all their shares on the line?"

As we all saw, Deep-mind's offer was 1600 million Euros, plus its own shares valued at 300 million Euros.

Zou Tianyan scratched the back of his head. "But even so, we can't compete with the giants. Softmicro and Qiandu have 2000 million, and Google has 2048 million."

Xu Zhe smiled: "Gu Gou's bid is exactly twice as much as 1024. Is this a little interesting? But this price is definitely useless. As long as there are competitors, there will be a third round."

Shen Lan suddenly grabbed his hand: "It's already opened to 20 million Mi Yuan, which would be worth hundreds of millions in exchange..."

Xu Zhe squeezed the girl's palm and said, "Hold on, it's still early to reach their bottom line."

Shen Lan couldn't help but ask: "How do you know?"

Xu Zhe did not explain at all, but said unreasonably: "I just know it."

Shen Lan was stunned when she saw his confident smile, and swallowed all the doubts on her face.

Zou Tianyan did not ask any more questions and directly sent out Gu Goufang, who had the highest bid in the second round, and announced the start of the third round.

Another half an hour later, there were only three bidders left in the third round.

Zou Tianyan: "Deep-mind has withdrawn."

Xu Zhe: "It's as expected. They can't keep up. To be honest, I'm surprised that Deep-mind can pay more than 10 million yuan in cash."

Shen Lan covered her mouth and said, "Qiandu paid 2400 million Miyuan!"

Xu Zhe: "Yes, Softmicro is only 2,100, and Gougou is 2,200. This time, Qiandu offered the highest price. They have made an effort. I guess they want to offer a very high price at once to scare off their competitors."

Shen Lan: "Will it scare you away?"

Xu Zhe: "I don't think so. At least it shouldn't be that easy for Gu Gou."

Zou Tianyan: "Then the third round..."

Xu Zhe stretched out his sweaty hand and slammed the table: "Continue!"

With numbers like these in front of us, who can remain calm?

However, not long after the email announcing the start of the fourth round was sent out, there was a knock on the classroom door.
