Chapter 377 You in the eyes of others
Until lunch, Qiu Shuli was still thinking about it and asking himself:
"Does he not think that I am the best in the province at all?"

The brothers of the Jiangnan Gang said they were powerless to do anything about it. One of them, who had always targeted Qiu Shuli, consoled him:

"Don't worry too much about the score, Juri. I saw you two were going back and forth on those balls."

Comments from outsiders are often more heartbreaking.

Li Yan obviously has the ability to kill him with one blow, but she still fought back and forth with him. Isn't this just playing cat and mouse for fun?

It was unfair to Li Yan, he just wanted to try out the "neural recruitment" skill.

However, from the perspective of using Qiu Shuli as an experimental subject, it seems that he was not wronged.

However, wasn't Qiu Shuli himself deliberately hiding his No. 1 status in the province and saying "provincial team" to trick Li Yan into taking the bait?
Everyone has his or her own starting point and little plans. Strength is what is respected. Even if someone is really playing cat and mouse, you can't say anything.

Who said Li Yan is a cat and Qiu Shuli is a mouse?
After everyone had left, Qiu Shuli was still in a daze at the dining table.

So the only one who accompanied him was Ning Yuqing, who was sitting alone in the corner.

Because she eats very slowly.

Perhaps because Qiu Shuli looked a bit pitiful, Ning Yuqing cleaned up the bowl and sat down opposite Qiu Shuli.

"Confidence collapsed?"

"No, I was just caught up in a certain emotion." Qiu Shuli was calm.

"You still got the racket he gave you."

Qiu Shuli frowned when he heard this. Why didn't he know that Lady Ning had such a sharp tongue before?

Is the skill of being weird and strange very profound?
But when he looked up, he was stunned when he saw Ning Yuqing's eyes.

Three points of envy, three points of regret, three points of anger, and... one point of desire? ?

No, so you wanted Li Yan to take you to shoot?

wrong!

Qiu Shuli suddenly woke up. Could it be that Ning Yuqing has become Li Yan's fan girl?
This made Qiu Shuli feel even more uncomfortable. The reason why the Jiangnan Gang of the Excellence Class could not be unified was because of Ning Yuqing, the arrogant little talented girl. Qiu Shuli was a big shot in the junior high school and even middle school groups in Jiangnan Province. He had conquered many outstanding classmates with his strength. However, this girl who was devoted to literature did not fall for it.

Unique, aloof and arrogant.

I've only been in the Excellence Class for two months, and already...

Ugh!
"That racket is a commemorative edition for a competition. It costs more than 3,000 yuan now, and the price may increase in the future. Li Yan is quite rich."

Even if Qiu Shuli's family is relatively wealthy, it is still unlikely that a high school student would take the initiative to buy a badminton racket worth more than 3,000 yuan.

"Nonsense, he's the big boss."

The fact that Li Yan is also the actual boss of Future Technology is known to all the students in the Excellence Class. Not only do they know it, almost the entire New Taipei Middle School knows it. They don't feel that they are Li Yan's "classmates" at all. Occasionally, when they see Li Yan coming to class on campus, they react as if they have seen a celebrity.

But these people basically only know that Li Yan’s company is “making mobile phones”. As for the investment cost, how much money can be made, and how much Li Yan is worth, it is all based on guesswork.

When someone says that Li Yan is worth tens of millions, everyone will just say "Wow" and ignore it - because they have no idea.

After some popular science advice from classmates who have more exposure to business - of course they learned the information from their parents who work hard in the business world - everyone basically agreed with the view that "Li Yan's net worth should not be low, but the money should be invested and cannot be used for personal consumption."

This point of view is very clever. On the one hand, it affirms Li Yan's extraordinary status and ability, thus allowing themselves who "go to the same school" to benefit from it; on the other hand, the fact that "Li Yan doesn't have that much money to spend" makes them feel more balanced.

Qiu Shuli was also the recipient of this view, so he responded: "You don't understand Yuqing. Although Li Yan is the boss and may have received a lot of investment, these are company assets, which are not equivalent to what he can use for himself."

Ning Yuqing watched Qiu Shuli's performance quietly.

"This is what is called 'cash flow'. The funds needed to run a company are enormous. Sometimes it seems that you are making a lot of money, but a month's loss will put your capital chain in jeopardy. Many big bosses say they are worth millions or tens of millions, but in fact, they are all assets. Even if they have some cash flow, they dare not use it..."

"Li Yan earned four million in royalties last month."

"How do you know? What royalties? Four million?"

"I accidentally saw a text message on his phone during class. It was "Nangong Boy". Yes, it was four million, a month."

“……” Qiu Shuli’s expression said it all.

They were defeated completely. Li Yan was not on the same level as them at all.

"So don't think about competing anymore. It's better to learn from Li Yan." Ning Yuqing rarely said the truth.

"I can't compete with you in business, I can't compete with you in badminton, and I still can't compete with you in computers," said Qiu Shuli.

Ning Yuqing covered her face, Qiu Shuli would never give up.

"But what about the others?" Qiu Shuli, who had just looked depressed, suddenly became excited. "People only know that the two of us are 'all-powerful', but they don't know how 'all-powerful' we are. In this case, I will compete with Li Yan in omnipotence. If he beats me, I will recognize him as my teacher. If I beat him, I believe he will be happy to ask me for advice."

"……Hopeless."

Of course, it’s not just the people in the Excellence Class who are paying attention to Li Yan.

The top topic of conversation in the entire New Taipei Middle School after dinner is "What is Li Yan doing?"

Perhaps Li Yan's progress was too fast. When everyone was still comparing their status based on their grades, he had already broken away from his "student" status and started making mobile phones.

As we all know, people will be very self-aware when they clearly know the gap, but once the gap widens and they can no longer understand it, they will start to point fingers.

There are countless typical cases.

For example, when Lin Zhiyuan couldn't beat Li Yan in badminton, he talked about badminton in front of Li Yan and looked humble and eager to learn, but when he looked back at the competition of the world's top players, he could still say nonsense like "their movements are not standard".

Therefore, when Li Yan was still taking various exams, her magical performance of "getting full marks in all subjects" which everyone could understand was quite convincing, and no student at New Taipei First High School dared to comment on Li Yan's test-taking ability and knowledge level.

not a single one.

But now that Li Yan has left school and started using mobile phones, people are more courageous to question her. A group of people who can't even write programs have made various "professional analyses" on how Li Yan's phone will crash, while another group of people who have never even touched a smartphone have responded with "reasons and evidence", with the main argument being "Li Yan is so good, so the phone must work"...

Then they can argue all day long, from daydreaming in class to chatting during breaks to arguing on the Internet, and everyone enjoys it.

However, these topics are rarely mentioned in the first grade (1) class of New Taipei City Middle School, which is actually the experimental class.

Because they wouldn't mention it when Wei Yunzhi was around.

The fact that Wei Yunzhi is the little princess of Yili Group is no secret in New Taipei City.

The reason why Li Yan was in the dark for so long was not only because he was from Lincheng and his roommates in the dormitory of New Taipei No. 1 Middle School were not affected by the objective conditions in the center of New Taipei City, but also because of Wei Yunzhi's deliberate avoidance.

And the little beauty has a strong sense of "alienation" just as her father summarized.

She had no interest in this group of classmates.

After all, she has excellent conditions, is a good student, has many talents, and is annoyed by the fact that "she is the center of attention because she is Wei Yili's daughter."

There is also some nihilism that she deliberately suppresses.

There are already very few people who can attract her, and now with a god like Li Yan, no one else can even catch her eye.

The flowers of Gaoling are attractive, but Gaoling is indeed very cold.

The students in Experimental Class 1 actually wanted to find the person involved to gossip about her story with Li Yan, but when they thought of her father who had great connections, they felt pressured and were afraid of displeasing this young lady.

So even talking about Li Yan became something that required a little consideration.

Finally, it gradually became what it is now.

Everyone knows the truth, but they just don't dare to mention it.

Wei Yunzhi's usual interactions with others can only be described as that of gentlemen whose friendship is as plain as water.

Be polite, courteous, and keep your distance.

Not even one idiot jumped out to say "Li Yan can touch me but I can't". Of course, they could not have imagined that during the lunch break on Monday, this beautiful girl was texting Li Yan while sitting in the classroom studying:

"If you don't show up more, everyone will forget about you."

As some people speculated that Li Yan won the hearts of beautiful women by pretending to be cool, he just replied in a domineering and cool way:
"?"

"I've been studying here for two months. At the beginning, there were so many people talking about you. It felt like I could only hear 'Li Yan Li Yan Li Yan' everywhere I went. But in the past two or three weeks, no one in the class has mentioned you anymore."

"It doesn't matter."

"Then I will forget you later."

"Is our friendship so fragile?"

“Even a friendship as strong as iron needs proper maintenance.”

"If you want to meet, just say so."

"Let's have lunch together in the school cafeteria at noon."

This invitation was beyond Li Yan's expectation. He and Wei Yunzhi were eating together in the cafeteria? ...

Li Yan's breathing became rapid when he thought of the large cafeteria that could accommodate a thousand people at the same time.

You're eager to be the headline of the school, right?
What does this mean, little beauty? Are you declaring your sovereignty?
However, Li Yan didn't seem to feel any rejection.

It’s just that with his current fame, he is naturally desensitized to the thing called “attention”. But hasn’t Wei Yunzhi always disliked attracting attention? Why did he take the initiative to want to be the gossip headline today?
"Want to tell everyone that we are good friends?"

"I want to experience what it's like to eat in the cafeteria with you."

It’s back, all back, the familiar straight ball hit.

"Row."

"Are you okay with eating leftovers? I'd like to go there later when there are fewer people."

"I thought you didn't care about this."

"I don't care, I'm worried that you do."

“I don’t eat leftovers.”

whee.

That noon, two students who stayed in the classroom to study vaguely heard the sweet laughter of Gaoling Zhihua.

I thought I was hallucinating.

"But this meal may have to be later. I really don't have time recently."

"It's okay, but a promise is worth a thousand gold."

"A promise worth a thousand gold."

After finishing the chat, Li Yan stood up and went to the bathroom to wash her face.

Monday, November 11st, is a day ruled by the number "one".

Entering a new month means a "new beginning" for many people.

"November please be nice to me."

In the year before Li Yan was reborn, it was popular for many people to post similar messages on Weibo and Moments on the first day of every month.

Li Yan never liked it very much.

Just like he doesn’t celebrate his birthday, for the same reason - this time node is just a reminder to him that he has lost some days.

And he will immediately extend it to: "What did you do in the past week/month/year?"

If there is some result, it can make him feel better, but most of the time, it just reminds him that he should be anxious.

Same now.

It is November, almost five months since the Jiaolong concept phone was unveiled in early June, and only two months left to reach Li Yan’s goal of “completing the Hetu system before New Year’s Day next year”.

At present, the core of Luoshen has not been completed yet.

The subsequent tasks were so arduous that, in the eyes of Mai Wen and Huang Zhan, they were almost impossible.

Many groups have already started submitting their results, but the real difficulty lies in the subsequent integration.

Producing parts is not difficult; producing accurate, usable parts is the challenge.

Li Yan’s job is to modify a large number of parts from an unknown state to an accurate and usable state.

After Sun Miao became deeply involved in writing the basic code, he began to feel intimidated by the magnitude of the project that Li Yan had to handle.

"The part I'm working on alone is already inconsistent... I mobilized everyone in the team to work together, but there are still so many bugs. The amount of work our team has completed is only one-thirtieth of the entire project. How is it possible that Mr. Li plans to solve all of it by himself?"

Even Shang Jie, who has become a fan of Li Yan, has his confidence shaken.

"Indeed... There are still too many difficulties in managing a team of so many people."

"We should follow up the whole process," Sun Miao clapped his hands, "This is how we always do it for big projects like this. Follow up the whole process, correct any problems in a timely manner, hold more meetings, and never let everyone work on their own."

"Mr. Sun, do you mean that Mr. Li's way of dividing the work among everyone is wrong?" Cao Haibin said while standing on the balcony, smoking a cigarette.

They had just finished a meeting this morning. Li Yan frowned at the results currently submitted, but did not say much. He just asked about the progress, asked everyone to keep up and speed up, and then returned to the office.

"That's not what I meant, Engineer Cao. There's no need to be sarcastic." Sun Miao sneered, "The division of labor arranged by General Manager Li is very powerful, and we all see it. It's just that due to various reasons, everyone has not been able to accurately implement the work he assigned. This cannot be said to be General Manager Li's fault, but that everyone failed to complete it as required."

"Is it our fault?" Cao Haibin said with a smile.

"What else?" Shang Jie responded.

"Yes, yes," Cao Haibin suddenly sighed, "I didn't mean any harm in my words. You don't have to think that I'm against you. I don't play office battles, but in this case, I do think there's something wrong with Mr. Li's approach."

This left Sun Miao and Shang Jie speechless. Liu Liwei blinked his eyes, not knowing how to interrupt.

"He just lacks experience in managing large projects. At the same time, as a top genius, he doesn't understand the world of ordinary people at all. He thinks that if he gives a request, everyone can complete it according to the request. If it is really possible, this approach is of course the most efficient."

Everyone remained silent.

"I also thought he was capable of completing the integration, but the premise was that everyone could complete the work according to his division of labor requirements." Cao Haibin exhaled a puff of cigarette, "If this premise is not met, his workload is far beyond imagination, and the difficulty of the work is beyond our ability... then it will be a headache."

There was an inexplicable low mood in the R&D studio.

After washing her face, Li Yan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the office. Her frown gradually relaxed and her expression gradually became excited.

Moderate anxiety equals pressure, and pressure can be transformed into motivation.

How could he not know that this day would come?

Trust the results of this group of people? No, he was never prepared to trust.

He only trusts himself, and trusts himself who can crush everything with his ability.

What an impossible task, what a huge amount of work, what an astonishing difficulty...

There is nothing to worry about.

"I, Li Yan, have achieved what I have today by relying on myself... System, give me some points!"
