Chapter 171 Specially
At the end of October, we enter deep autumn.

In just a few days and nights, most of the leaves turned yellow in the blink of an eye.

Every afternoon and evening, Xu Mingyuan and Tao Shuxin would take a walk along Boxue Road, step on a few fallen leaves, and enjoy the withered and short season.

Tao Shuxin was full of girlish heart. She carefully selected a few beautiful half-yellow and half-green leaves, picked out some water from the textbook, and gave them to Xu Mingyuan, repeatedly telling him not to lose them, otherwise she would hold him accountable.

Seeing the little love words written in fine pen on it, Xu Mingyuan smiled knowingly.

But he didn't care about these things. He just put it in a book that he would hardly read and would only open it when he had the chance in the future.

Under the leadership of Zheng Song, the construction of the Alumni Network has progressed at a rapid pace.

Compared with the half-baked network administrators hired by Xu Mingyuan to maintain the website, Zheng Song's team of eight graduate students have more sophisticated skills.

No matter what request he made, a solution was given quickly, even better than he expected.

Xu Mingyuan was envious and wanted to recruit him.

However, most people wanted to work on their own after graduation or apply for jobs in large companies. They looked down on the small studio he created. Only three or four people expressed interest in staying, but it was good enough if there were two people who really wanted to stay.

Most of the talented students at Jiangnan University are disdainful of the behavior of completely copying Facebook. After all, graduate students are very valuable nowadays, especially those majoring in computer software technology.

Moreover, they would also take some work privately and did not lack the small salary offered by Xu Mingyuan. They just regarded it as practice assignments assigned by their instructor and did not have the concept of starting a business in their minds.

Unless you hit the wall a few times after entering society, you won't understand that the competition in the current Internet industry is so fierce that most innovations are a dead end.

Even if the innovation is successful, it will soon be crushed into dust by the capital that rushes in and be driven into a corner to eat leftovers.

Even Xu Mingyuan doesn't dare to easily offend the capital now. Only when no one is paying attention, an idea suddenly flashes up and catches them off guard.

Most people are very short-sighted. Domestic SNS social networking sites appeared in the late 1990s, but they were popular for a while and then quickly faded away without even a chance to make a comeback.

Therefore, among the countless Internet practitioners today, few are optimistic about the SNS social networking site becoming popular again.

Xu Mingyuan also knew in his heart that in ten years SNS social networking sites would die out on the streets and be ignored by everyone.

But ten years is not a short time, and withdrawing funds at the peak of the SNS social networking site bubble is definitely a huge cash flow.

But Xu Mingyuan was in an awkward situation at this time. He wanted to give money to people, but they thought it was too much trouble and refused to give it.

Perhaps because Zheng Song felt ignored when Xu Mingyuan sent someone to talk to him, he did not agree to set up an enterprise on campus, but instead tried to reduce his workload by cooperating between the school and the enterprise.

Finally, at Xu Mingyuan's request, 15 points of shares were transferred to the name of the School of Science at the Beihai campus, and the remaining 15 points were distributed to several tutors and students including Zheng Song.

Fortunately, the name of the founder of Sailing Technology is still well-known. Zheng Song will not offend Xu Mingyuan, a very promising student, just because he is ignored. He has done all the important things that need to be assigned.

In fact, this is a good idea, and it saves Xu Mingyuan the trouble of arguing.

Walked to the school gate hand in hand with Tao Shuxin.

Xu Mingyuan said to Li Yunfeng: "Yunfeng, you go back first. I want to talk to Zheng Haowen about something."

"Yes, Mr. Xu, I'll go back first." Li Yunfeng nodded.

"We are a newly established Internet company. Don't call me Mr. General or Mr. General. It sounds so lifeless. You can call me by my name or by the boss." Xu Mingyuan said with a frown.

"Good boss."

Influenced by sailing technology, Li Yunfeng always behaves properly in front of others and only calls Xu Mingyuan by his name in private to make it seem like he is one of his own.

"Go back and drive slowly."

Xu Mingyuan waved his hand.

Li Yunfeng was an employee he brought up personally. Although he had little room to display his abilities in Sailing Technology and his abilities were far inferior to those of Yao Jianhui, he was able to work well with the staff. Xu Mingyuan always treated him well and did not neglect him.

This time, letting him take charge of the classmates network will give him a better space to display his abilities and see how he is doing in Sailing Technology.

"Let's go have dinner together."

Xu Mingyuan held Tao Shuxin's hand and said to Zheng Haowen.

"Brother, let's go."

Tao Shuxin called Zheng Haowen with a smile, and then was pulled away by Xu Mingyuan.

I found a small restaurant near the school and specifically asked for a private room.

Listening to the loud shouting and drinking sounds coming from the college students next door, Xu Mingyuan was bored and fiddling with Tao Shuxin's delicate fingers under the table.

Tao Shuxin also enjoyed doing some little tricks under the table. After they had been struggling for a while, she suddenly remembered that there was someone sitting opposite her, so she broke free with a blushing face.

Tao Changming has three brothers and an older sister. He is the youngest in the family.

Tao Shuxin's generation was pulled even older. She was the youngest in the Tao family. They couldn't play together when they were young, and they weren't particularly close when they grew up. She hadn't seen her cousin for a long time.

"Young man, how have you been doing abroad these years?" Tao Shuxin asked.

"Not bad, it's better than in China in all aspects." Zheng Haowen said with a smile.

"Oh, then why don't you stay abroad?" Tao Shuxin asked curiously. She never had any tact and asked whatever came to her mind.

"I just want to go back to my country." Zheng Haowen said casually.

"It's so good in China. I can see my family. My mom also told me to study abroad, but I don't want to."

Tao Shuxin said proudly.

"Ha, do you think it's so easy to stay abroad? You might as well go back to China and look for opportunities." After Xu Mingyuan finished speaking to Tao Shuxin, he looked up and said to Zheng Haowen, "Don't you think so?"

Although Tao Shuxin had a very low emotional intelligence, she could still understand good and bad words, so she poked him in the back.

"hehe."

Zheng Haowen gave a dry laugh and didn't say anything.

“Actually, with your academic qualifications, if you can’t get an offer from a big company, you can still go to a small company. Don’t be so ambitious. Start from the beginning and accumulate experience first, and you will eventually succeed.” Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"You don't need to tell me this."

Zheng Haowen smiled, looking a little arrogant.

"By the way, regarding the IBM management model you mentioned on the road just now, I know it much more clearly than you do. Just to put it simply, let all employees participate in decision-making to enhance employee cohesion. Our company cannot do this," said Xu Mingyuan.

"You are wrong. It is because the company is small that we need a more advanced management model, proceeding step by step until it becomes stronger and bigger." Zheng Haowen replied seriously.

"Do you think that because Sailing Technology has the word 'technology' in its name, it is a high-end company? There are few high school graduates in our middle-level and lower management levels. The foreign management model is useless." Xu Mingyuan said helplessly.

"It's useless for me to say anything if we are not on the same page. Let's eat first."

Zheng Haowen tapped his chopsticks and didn't want to talk anymore.

Although I was reluctant to work under other people, I didn't show it.

"Li Yunfeng gave up his position as the company's vice president to come here. You should learn more from him. Opportunities don't come easily. If your mother hadn't come to me specifically, I wouldn't be willing to take you with me. You should take care of yourself."

Xu Mingyuan sneered and started eating.

Zheng Haowen gritted his teeth and wanted to slam the table, but he finally held back, got up and left without saying anything.

"Brother, brother! Wait a minute!" Tao Shuxin wanted to chase him, but was stopped by Xu Mingyuan. She said worriedly, "What are you doing? Oh, how can I explain to my aunt?"

"I'm the boss and he's the employee. Do you want me to be polite to him?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Then why can't you just speak nicely?"

Tao Shuxin was so angry that she wanted to strangle him, but was held down again.

"What do you know? I'm already giving you enough face. Your aunt just wants me to teach him this way to dampen his arrogance and let this young boy understand the sufferings of the world as soon as possible. He should quickly pass the exam to enter the system and stop thinking about starting a business. This way, his family can still help him." Xu Mingyuan said.

"How dare you call my cousin a brat? How old are you? Aren't you one?"

"Of course I'm not."

"I do not believe."

Tao Shuxin looked him up and down with disdain.

"If you don't believe me, let's go find a place to have a look next time."

"Where can we go? Isn't it better here?"

The naive Tao Shuxin had a face full of question marks.

"No."

Xu Mingyuan shook his head and whispered in her ear.

Tao Shuxin frowned and listened to what he said, but she was still very confused and didn't know why she had to go to the hotel to check in.

But she soon realized something from Xu Mingyuan's smirk, and slapped him twice in anger and shame.

Then Tao Shuxin wanted to move away from him, but was grabbed and couldn't break free.

"I'm warning you, don't even think about it before you get married..."

Tao Shuxin lowered her voice and said with blushing cheeks.

"Just kidding, let's eat soon, the food will get cold soon."

"You know how to eat."

"Why else would I chase your cousin away? I took you out of school on purpose to give you some private lessons. Do you really think I was treating your cousin to a meal?"

"Wow! You are so mean! No wonder you had to say such unpleasant things when my cousin was about to eat!"

Tao Shuxin pinched him angrily, but soon, she couldn't help but flirt with him again...
