Chapter 254 Recommendation
Chapter 254 Recommendation
It is human nature to like looking at beautiful things, and Tao Shuxin is no exception.
This little Yang Zhi looks even more delicate than a doll. No, if she could be shrunk one to one, how could a doll compare to her?
But, Tao Shuxin has been with Xu Mingyuan for such a long time, and she never thought that Xiao Yangzhi, who was silent all day and had a clear and cold face, was actually thinking about how to interfere.
She snatched the potato chips from Xiao Yangzhi's hand simply to make things difficult for Xu Mingyuan.
Young lovers always do such childish things to make the other person focus on themselves.
As for Xu Mingyuan, he wanted to make up for the shortcomings that were left over from the past, and in this life he wanted to complete the task of expanding the Xu family as soon as possible.
Tao Shuxin, who is in the prime of her youth, does not have any resentment about not being married for many years. She is cheerful all day long, infecting Xu Mingyuan with her mood and making herself as happy as Xu Mingyuan.
This little girl, whom Xu Mingyuan has known for many years, will definitely help him complete his task successfully.
Xu Mingyuan was confused for a moment when Xiao Yangzhi suddenly broke into his life.
But time is the best doctor.
For example, this morning, he could touch that pair of smooth and graceful legs through her pajamas, which made him stunned at the time.
But after taking Xiao Yangzhi out for a walk, Xu Mingyuan had quietly calmed down.
Yang Zhi wanted to hug Xu Mingyuan's arm, but Tao Shuxin did not give her the chance and hugged her tightly, leaving Xu Mingyuan behind to carry the bag alone.
Even after getting in the car, Tao Shuxin pulled Xiao Yangzhi to the back seat and let Xu Mingyuan drive them out for fun.
There aren't many places suitable for little girls to play in Nanxi, at most they can go there to eat and drink.
Tao Shuxin knew a lot of snack bars, so he spent a lot of time visiting them. By the time it was time for dinner, no one was ready to eat.
"Sister Taotao, aren't you going home to get your luggage?"
Seeing that the two were about to return to Jiangcheng, Yang Zhi asked indifferently.
"No, I put all my school stuff in my little home."
Tao Shuxin, who was simple-minded, said it subconsciously.
"Xiaojia? Do you live off campus too?"
Although Yang Zhi knew that Xu Mingyuan had bought a house outside the school, she still asked the question knowingly.
"Oh, of course I live on campus, but the dormitory is too small, so I have to put some things outside the campus." Tao Shuxin realized that she had said too much, so she quickly explained without thinking, and then whispered to her: "Xiao Zhizhi, don't spread it outside, it will be bad if others know."
Tao Shuxin's nervous expression couldn't hide the truth at all. How could Yang Zhi, who is so delicate, not see it?
"Oh." Yang Zhi nodded calmly, then turned to Xu Mingyuan and said, "Brother, can I go and take a look?"
"Okay, wait until you have time later, and go to school honestly tomorrow."
"Ok."
Yang Zhi lowered his head and sucked the juice without asking any more questions.
She would call Xu Mingyuan every night, and Tao Shuxin would interrupt every now and then.
Once, she heard a slight breathing sound next to her. No one said a word, but Yang Zhi felt a green light coming out of her head, which made her very upset.
After settling Xiao Yangzhi, Xu Mingyuan took Tao Shuxin to Jiangcheng.
"What will your sister do if she finds out that I live there too?"
Tao Shuxin's legs were shaking rapidly, she was extremely nervous.
"It's discovered, what should we do?"
Xu Mingyuan steered the wheel and left the Plastic Steel Family Residential Quarter.
Tao Shuxin drove the car back to Nanxi from Jiangcheng, but her speed was too slow, so Xu Mingyuan drove back.
"You are a bachelor, you are fearless, but what about me? My mother will definitely not recognize me as her daughter!"
"Isn't this a good thing? Then you can stay at my house and don't have to go home."
"I'm serious!"
"Why are there so many things to do? Do you think Xiao Yangzhi is as idle as you? Go eat your snacks quickly and stop disturbing my driving."
"Humph."
Tao Shuxin had no choice but to open a bag of potato chips and chew them.
Although the two families have not met officially, Xu Jun and Tao Changming have had dinner together several times in private.
Tao Shuxin knew about this. If Xiao Yangzhi told Xu Mingyuan's father, then what if her own father knew about it? She didn't dare to think about what would happen next.
The little girl seemed to be anxious about these useless things, but her personality was completely different from Xiao Yangzhi's. She turned around and became the same as Xu Mingyuan, giving up everything and not caring at all.
When she returned home at around nine o'clock, Tao Shuxin took off her clothes and went straight to the bathroom. After a while, the sound of a shower was heard.
She wrapped her wet hair with a towel, changed into pajamas, and without even looking at Xu Mingyuan, nor planning to watch TV, she went back to her room first.
The sweet-smelling little girl leaned against the head of the bed, put the notebook on her legs, played leisurely, and waited for Xu Mingyuan to arrive.
Soon, Xu Mingyuan, with his hair half dry, opened the door.
"Hurry up and go online, let's play multiplayer battles."
Tao Shuxin switched to the Bubble Hall page. The "beep beep beep" background music indicated that she was already impatient to wait.
"What's there to do?"
Xu Mingyuan grabbed her ankle and pulled her down, and Tao Shuxin leaned against the head of the bed and slid onto the bed.
"Are you annoying? Get up, I want to play games!"
Tao Shuxin's soft voice was full of reluctance, but her tone was a little weak, and seemed to have a guilty taste.
Xu Mingyuan didn't want to tease this pretentious little girl. His eyes were completely focused on the white and tender calf that was pulled open to reveal a section of lotus root.
It's not slippery right after taking a shower, and there's a slight sluggish feeling to the touch.
The clear touch made the little girl shiver uncontrollably, and she had no intention of resisting, so she just let Xu Mingyuan do whatever he wanted.
After tossing and turning for a long time, Tao Shuxin put on her pajamas again, pressed her rosy face against Xu Mingyuan's chest, too lazy to move a finger.
Tao Shuxin stopped clamoring about playing Bubble Hall and started chatting with Xu Mingyuan.
"Does your sister call you every night?"
"Well, no one is taking care of her at home. This little girl is timid, so I always have to call her to ask about the situation. We used to call her at noon, but it delayed her lunch break, so we changed it to the evening."
"Tsk tsk, how pitiful." Tao Shuxin sighed, twisted his arm and said, "Then remember to call her first next time!"
"Isn't it exciting to get a phone call out of the blue?"
"What the hell is this? Get out of here!"
Tao Shuxin turned over with a red face and a pounding heart, kicked him aside, and fell asleep. ...
After the farm game was launched on Classmates.com, the number of registered users, which had been growing slowly, immediately broke through one million, and then reached the two million mark. Not only that, but the average online time was more than doubled. If Xu Mingyuan hadn't had foresight, the server would have almost crashed.
The employees who were troubled by competing companies finally breathed a sigh of relief and cheered to celebrate the future of Classmates.com.
Seeing the rapid growth in users, the main person in charge Li Yunfeng found Xu Mingyuan and planned to open another small game platform for the public.
Xu Mingyuan refused without even thinking about it. He had to put his spare funds into real business, and maintaining a classmate network was already a lot of work.
It’s not that Xu Mingyuan has never thought about making a large-scale online game, but the development cycle is too long. In addition, major companies have already noticed the online game market, so how can he afford the money?
Moreover, social games like FarmVille must rely on social platforms to survive. Setting up a separate project is just a waste of money.
Most importantly, Xu Mingyuan is very clear about the future development prospects of Classmates.com.
If registration were open now, the number of people would certainly grow exponentially.
However, two years later, as a large amount of useless information of varying quality takes up space on the page, the user experience will decline to an unbearable level, and a large number of users will quit the platform of Classmates Network and switch to other social networks.
If Xu Mingyuan did this, he must be trying to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs and run away with the money.
The time is not right yet. Let’s wait four or five years.
dong dong dong.
There was a knock on the director's office door.
"Enter."
Sun Xiangqian in the room said.
"Hey, Mr. Sun, are you busy?"
When Xu Mingyuan entered the room, he saw Sun Xiangqian working at his desk, so he smiled and said hello.
"Director Sun."
Ye Yining came in with Xu Mingyuan and also greeted him.
"Hey, Mr. Ye." Sun Xiangqian nodded, turned around and asked Xu Mingyuan: "You are a kid who never comes to visit for no reason. What trouble have you caused?"
"Hey, when have I ever gotten into trouble at school? Teacher Sun, I must have come to you for something good."
Xu Mingyuan smiled, pulled out a chair opposite the table and gave it to Ye Yining, then he pulled out a chair and sat down.
Ye Yining just stared blankly at the side. She didn't have the courage to sit down in front of the leader who held her job in his hands.
"Teacher Ye, please sit down." Sun Xiangqian gestured with his hand, and then smiled at Xu Mingyuan, "Good things can come to me? Then I have to listen carefully, you tell me."
Sun Xiangqian put down his pen and looked across.
As the department head, he is not responsible for the coordination work in the institute. He is mostly responsible for external exchanges, obtaining scientific research funds and the like.
If it is the Faculty of Science, it is fine, there are more opportunities. But where can the Faculty of Arts get research funding? At best, it is a sinecure.
"I have a patent document about the classmate network game. Teacher Sun, can you coordinate with the teachers and students of the law department to file a few lawsuits?"
Xu Mingyuan handed over the file bag in his hand.
It is difficult to judge a game as plagiarism. Even the gameplay cannot be considered plagiarism. Only the storyline, appearance, etc. that are too similar will be considered plagiarism.
But even if it is a one-to-one copy, with plagiarism on the Internet rampant, lawsuits over infringement can take several years, which is a complete waste of time.
But Xu Mingyuan couldn't find anything that would allow the Academy of Arts to do anything, otherwise he would not be able to concentrate on studying here all day.
Now that there is finally a competitor to Classmate Farm on the market, let the Law Department do it, and stop saying that Xu Mingyuan didn’t give the College of Arts a chance.
Although the chance is slim, with the influence of Jiangda University, maybe it can be done.
This way Xu Mingyuan can save some trouble. Otherwise, when various social platforms are acquired and integrated, this stumbling block will be quite annoying.
"Not bad, not bad. How much money do you plan to contribute?"
When Sun Xiangqian saw that Xu Mingyuan had finally returned to his job, he nodded with satisfaction.
"I can pay for the initial travel expenses."
"Travel expenses? Are you planning to get something for nothing again?" Sun Xiangqian asked with a raised eyebrow.
"How could that be? If I win the lawsuit, no matter how much money the other party has to pay, I won't take a penny. How much money I can get depends on the ability of the law department. Professor Sun, don't underestimate the patent fees. The recently launched QQ Space will definitely copy Classmate Farm. These big companies are rich. If I really win the lawsuit, won't they have to pay at least several million?" Xu Mingyuan said.
Sun Xiangqian thought for a while, frowned and said, "That won't work either. You have to pay for the litigation fees. The Academy of Literature doesn't have much money."
"It's a small matter. I can pay you a salary, but I've already made it clear in advance that if there are no results within half a year, I will definitely not invest any more money."
Originally, Xu Mingyuan wanted to do this to shut up Sun Xiangqian and build a good relationship with the school. But he was also afraid that the people in the Academy of Literature would spend money without doing anything just to get money from him.
"If it's done, you can't just do nothing, right?"
Sun Xiangqian wanted more. He had finally caught a fat sheep, so he had to grab it with all his might, right?
"Let's talk about the future later. This matter hasn't even started yet. Why are you in such a hurry, Mr. Sun? If the students majoring in law are capable and make our Jiangnan University Law School famous, will there be a lack of job opportunities in the future?" Xu Mingyuan said.
"Well, that's true, but you also have to help promote it," Sun Xiangqian said.
"Of course I won't refuse. Isn't the purpose of the Alumni Network to promote Jiangda?" Xu Mingyuan said without hesitation, and then said: "If there is anything in the future, just let Teacher Ye tell me, why bother the leader? Hey, Teacher Sun, Teacher Ye is doing a good job, why haven't you made him a regular employee yet?"
Whenever Sun Xiangqian put pressure on Ye Yining, Ye Yining would come to him, which made Xu Mingyuan very annoyed. How could he still study with peace of mind if this continued?
Even though he didn't study much, he still needed someone to help him communicate about the final exam. Otherwise, even though he just passed the last time, he might not be able to do so next time.
"Teacher Ye's internship period is less than one year, which is not enough time for him to be hired as a full-time employee," said Sun Xiangqian.
"Just give him the green light. If he is only given a permanent position after working for a full year, it means that Mr. Ye's level is average. How can he get a promotion or a raise in the future?"
Xu Mingyuan is well aware of the tricks here. Ye Yining doesn't have any background either, so she can only rely on time. After a year, she might be squeezed out.
Before Sun Xiangqian could answer, Xu Mingyuan said to Ye Yining, "Teacher Ye, you must check the bill carefully. If there is a difference of one cent, I will not pay any more."
Xu Mingyuan couldn't help Ye Yining much either. He hadn't supported her work much before, which made it difficult for her. Now that there was an opportunity, he would help with the little things within his ability.
Xu Mingyuan is a student who can bring benefits to the school and is far beyond the reach of a counselor. Since he said so, Sun Xiangqian did not refuse and began to paint a rosy picture for Ye Yining.
Seeing Ye Yining nodding her head non-stop, Xu Mingyuan felt overwhelmed.
"Director Sun, I will definitely work hard and do my best to complete the tasks assigned to me by the leadership..."
Ye Yining sat upright on the chair and signed the guarantee solemnly.
"Hey, Mr. Sun, please write a recommendation for her. It's only been a short time this year. Don't say you don't have a spot."
Ye Yining is a person who is easily fooled, but Xu Mingyuan is not.
Now that things have come to this, why are you still making empty promises?
