Chapter 304 Design Plan

Chapter 304 Design Plan
When Tao Shuxin has nothing to do, she will chat and gossip.

Just like Zhou Dong in the class, some of his deeds were told by Tao Shuxin, otherwise Xu Mingyuan would not have known about them.

The little girl had nothing to do all day so she liked to collect these boring gossips. Of course, because this was Xu Mingyuan's class, Tao Shuxin wanted to find out more details when she heard about it.

"Hey, Fan Tongtong from your class, how is she doing now?"

After hearing Xu Mingyuan say that he had met counselor Ye Yining, Tao Shuxin started collecting gossip again.

“It’s still the same.”

Xu Mingyuan felt helpless about Tao Shuxin's little hobby. He had a lot of trivial things to do every day and had no mood to care about others.

"Isn't she together with your former roommate?" Tao Shuxin asked.

"No, they are good friends."

After Xu Mingyuan said this, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Really? The boy in your class isn't dating her?" Tao Shuxin asked.

"No, Fan Tongtong from my class is very smart and is raising fish."

"What is fish farming?" Tao Shuxin asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Fan Tongtong did not agree to Wu Chao's pursuit, but she did not explicitly reject his kindness either. She kept hooking him and would not let go." Xu Mingyuan said.

"Oh, so that's how it is. That's similar to you." Tao Shuxin said suddenly.

"Are you talking nonsense? When did I catch you?" Xu Mingyuan said with a helpless smile.

"You still don't admit it. Do you remember the time you stole my gel pen?"

"Does this count?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

"Well, later when I gave you a pen refill, you didn't refuse my kindness and didn't even say thank you." Tao Shuxin pouted and complained.

"How can this be the same?" Xu Mingyuan had done this to her before, but he had never done it in his life. Not wanting to dwell on this topic, he changed the subject and asked, "Is Sun Yuting from your dormitory still being mean to you?"

"It seems not. She has ignored me these days. Hey, did you go to pick a fight with her?"

Seeing that he suddenly asked about this matter, Tao Shuxin was not a fool and guessed the trick.

"Why did I go to find her? Didn't we go to the music club a few days ago? I told Su Muqing and asked her to find a few senior sisters from the Student Union to tell Sun Yuting to stop bothering you." Xu Mingyuan said.

"Oh, why didn't you tell me in advance? This is not a good idea." Tao Shuxin said with a frown.

"You are just too thin-skinned. I'm already in school, how can I let you be bullied? You are the same, too. If you make someone unhappy, just slap her in the face. If anything happens, I will help you settle it." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"I wouldn't do that. Sun Yuting just said something unpleasant, but it's no big deal..." Tao Shuxin said, resting his chin on his hand.

As a friendly girl, Tao Shuxin never thought of taking things too far. Sun Yuting was just vaguely saying something like, "Why don't you live off campus at night?" or something embarrassing like that.

But it doesn't matter, what she said is the truth.

"You are just too good-tempered. If I were not in Jiangda, you would be bullied." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

How dare this silly girl say that others speak rudely? She herself has no emotional intelligence and just says whatever comes to her mind.

But Tao Shuxin is a kind-hearted person, unlike some girls who try to be annoying on purpose.

"No, I'm awesome."

Of course Tao Shuxin would not believe what Xu Mingyuan said, and recently she even went to Su Muqing to ask for advice on how to speak as nicely as her.

In fact, Tao Shuxin feels that she is doing very well now.

The first point is that I have grown up and know what to say and what not to say. The second point is that Xu Mingyuan reminds me from time to time that I am no longer as careless as before.

"Yes, you are the best."

"That is."

Tao Shuxin snorted lightly, which made her very proud.

The innocent little girl has always been like this. She will be sad when being scolded, happy when being praised, and spend every day heartlessly.

Friday night.

As usual, Tao Shuxin dragged Xu Mingyuan and his high school classmates to play QQ.

The two of them became more and more skilled in cooperation, and even their old classmates could not match them. They also earned the nickname "The Black and White Devils".

Tao Shuxin was a silly girl who would not give in. Her classmates lost their gaming experience and they all logged off and stopped playing.

QQ Hall is a casual game that has been very popular in the past two years. There are countless masters online. Xu Mingyuan and Tao Shuxin are okay at beating up a classmate, but in the game hall, they will be beaten by masters who match them in from time to time and lose their temper.

But Tao Shuxin was not angry. As long as the player was not cheating, she would sincerely praise him and then learn some skills from him.

After playing games with Tao Shuxin, Xu Mingyuan did not leave the computer, but plugged in a USB flash drive.

A 3D drawing of the phone's exterior has been made, and it is designed around the Qualcomm motherboard commonly used in current domestic mobile phones.

The first generation of Starry Sky mobile phones were made as assembled machines.

This is the result of selective selection. Xu Mingyuan cannot afford to conduct self-research, so assembly is the only way out.

Since it is an assembled machine, we can only focus on the appearance design. The design department came up with three plans in total. Xu Mingyuan thought about it for a few days but still couldn't decide which one to adopt.

In fact, with the pioneers of others as his predecessors, Xu Mingyuan did not rush to take charge of the design himself. Instead, he recalled the best-selling mobile phone models in the future and made the appearance of the product almost the same as the mobile phones in the next two or three years.

But in the era of button phones, there was no unified format for mobile phone designs, and Xu Mingyuan couldn't remember which one was the best-selling one. His aesthetic vision was still stuck in the era of full-screen smartphones, but it was simply unrealistic to make large-screen phones at present.

If we plunge into the mature mobile phone market, it will not be as easy to do business as it was with MP4.

After taking a shower, Tao Shuxin's face was soaked in the steam and turned a rosy pink color.

As soon as he saw Xu Mingyuan still playing on the computer, he jumped on him.

"What are you doing?"

"Can you give me some advice? Which phone do you think is good-looking?"

"XK? What brand of phone is this? I've never heard of it."

Tao Shuxin unscrewed a bottle of juice and gulped down a mouthful. After brushing her teeth, she could no longer taste the juice, so she snatched Xu Mingyuan's teacup and drank up the water in it.

"Short for Starry Sky."

“Oh, why don’t you use English?”

“What English is used in domestic mobile phones?”

"Hey, you're awesome. Remember to give me the first phone when you're done."

Tao Shuxin kissed Xu Mingyuan on the forehead. Seeing that her carefully selected boyfriend was so capable, she felt much more proud.

"Okay, I'll give it to you as soon as the test machine comes out."

"hey-hey."

Tao Shuxin was happy and snuggled in his arms.

"Don't be silly here, I want you to give me some reference."

The wet lips kept touching Xu Mingyuan's neck, making him feel numb, so he had to pull the little girl's ears to get her to focus on the computer screen.

"Why are there only candy-bar phones? Aren't there any slider phones?"

Tao Shuxin asked with a frown while looking at the design drawing with the mouse.

Nowadays, young girls prefer trendy slider phones and don’t care much about other types of phones.

This is what Tao Shuxin thought. Just like a sliding phone, you can turn on the screen with a light push. How fashionable.

"Slider phones are easy to break and cost a lot. They are not as easy to use as candy-bar phones," said Xu Mingyuan.

Tao Shuxin bought a slider phone at the beginning of last year, and the cable broke once, and after it was repaired, it broke again. But she refused to give up, and bought the latest Samsung D508 at the beginning of the year, and she started to compete with the slider phone.

But Xu Mingyuan knew that sliding cover phones were trendy, but their high prices and the fact that they were easily broken made them not the first choice for ordinary people.

The same goes for flip phones. Although they are not as easy to break as slider phones, their disadvantage is that they are old-fashioned and are quickly being abandoned by young people.

Only candy-bar phones have been able to remain popular for a long time. No matter how many strange-looking phones appear on the market, candy-bar phones are still the best-selling models. Until the arrival of smartphones, after the iPhone 4 came out, this classic full-screen touch screen completely wiped out the market for keypad phones.

"I don't know, I feel they are all the same."

Tao Shuxin thought for a long time and then poured a basin of cold water on Xu Mingyuan.

"It's useless to ask you."

Xu Mingyuan sighed.

"I don't understand, why blame me?"

Tao Shuxin pouted and looked unhappy.

"I don't blame you, I'm just asking, you're so petty."

"You are the one who is petty. Go take a shower. You smell like sweat."

Tao Shuxin pulled him up and didn't want to talk anymore.

"It's getting colder now, why am I sweating?"

"It's out, go quickly, I can taste the saltiness!" Tao Shuxin said, smacking his lips.

"You come with me."

Xu Mingyuan grabbed the little girl's wrist with his backhand.

"Go to hell! If you keep doing this I'll go back to boarding school!"

Tao Shuxin didn't even dare to turn on the light, and didn't dare to open her eyes when there was a little light. How could she dare to accompany Xu Mingyuan to take a shower? She struggled desperately to free her wrist.

Xu Mingyuan let go of this self-deceiving little girl. Since she was on guard, it was difficult to force her, so she could only do bad things secretly without noticing...

Tao Shuxin will not return to Nanxi this Saturday. She does not return to Nanxi as frequently as Xu Mingyuan. She basically goes back once every half a month or a month.

Tao Shuxin thought that Xu Mingyuan was the same as herself. If she didn't go home on Saturday, she would go back once every half a month or so.

But what Tao Shuxin didn't know was that whether she went back to Nanxi or not, as long as she didn't come to live in her small home, Xu Mingyuan would basically find time to go back and drive to Jiangcheng after breakfast the next day.

From Jiangcheng, get off the highway and onto Nanxi Expressway, you can directly reach Nanhe Scenic Area, saving the trip to the city. Now it takes Xu Mingyuan no more than an hour or ten minutes to go home. When he wants to go home, he just steps on the accelerator and goes back.

Tao Shuxin has made an appointment to go shopping with Li Siqi and other girls, so she will not be going home this week.

Tao Shuxin got up early in the morning and packed her things.

Seeing her fingers gently put on the little pink socks, Xu Mingyuan couldn't help but pull them off and tickle the soles of her feet.

"Oh, you hate it!"

Tao Shuxin stamped her feet and kicked Xu Mingyuan aside for making trouble.

"Why are you getting up so early? Don't you want to sleep in?"

"No, we're going shopping. Hey, why are you going back to Nanxi? Isn't it good to go shopping together?"

"No, I have something to do." Xu Mingyuan said.

He doesn't like shopping. Just thinking about strolling around for the whole day is tiring.

"What's up? Can't you come and play with us on Saturday?"

"Your father wants to discuss something with me."

"You are just lying. My father told me everything. He asked if you have time tomorrow." Tao Shuxin rolled her eyes and said.

"Ha, so you knew that?"

"You just don't want to go shopping with me, so you make up an excuse on purpose!" Tao Shuxin said unhappily.

"No such thing."

Xu Mingyuan gave a dry laugh. He wanted to go home to see Xiao Yangzhi.

"Hmph, stop it, I don't know you." Tao Shuxin looked like she had seen through him, and then asked, "What clothes do you need? I'll buy them for you."

"Uh... I don't need any clothes, just buy me a pair of shorts." Xu Mingyuan said casually.

"Don't make trouble for me. There's still a big package of unopened stuff in the cupboard!"

Tao Shuxin glared at him unhappily. Xu Mingyuan just wanted to embarrass himself in front of his sisters and said, "You are so bad."

"Then I won't be lacking."

"How about I buy you a coat?" Tao Shuxin asked after thinking for a moment.

"Forget it. The clothes you buy when you go shopping are of poor quality. They will unravel if you pull them a little. They also fade when you wash them. Last time they stained my coat."

"We little girls don't have much pocket money, so we have to go shopping in the department store. How about I buy you a sweatshirt?" Tao Shuxin asked.

Tao Shuxin was involved in some social etiquette matters, and she understood that it was not good to spend too much money in front of her younger sisters.

It’s better to get along like we did in high school, otherwise you’ll end up like Xu Mingyuan, who suddenly changed so much that his former good friends were embarrassed to ask him out again.

"It's up to you."

Xu Mingyuan didn't care and let Tao Shuxin make her own decision.

"Okay, by the way, give me the money. I left all my pocket money at your place."

Tao Shuxin rubbed her fingers, motioning him to return the money to her.

Xu Mingyuan stood up, took his coat, took out his wallet, flipped through it, and said, "There are still two hundred yuan left. Is that enough?"

"Ah? How come there are only 200 yuan left? Didn't I give you 3,000 yuan at the beginning of the month? I'm out of money so soon?"

Tao Shuxin was stunned. She saw that his wallet was bulging last week.

"Ha, that cheers me up."

Xu Mingyuan thought his wallet was too thick and uncomfortable to carry, so he gave some to Xiao Yangzhi as pocket money when he got home one day. He usually paid for expensive things with a credit card, or borrowed Tao Shuxin's pocket money, so he forgot to withdraw money this month.

"No way? Your car consumes so much gas? Hey, is the gas tank leaking?"

Tao Shuxin was so shocked that she was a little afraid to buy a car.

"No." Xu Mingyuan took out a bank card that he usually used for online banking from his wallet, handed it to her and said, "Here's the card. The password is 131131. It should be enough for you to spend."

"Wow! Are you sure you want to give it to me? Aren't you afraid that I might secretly swipe it?"

"What are you afraid of? We are one family and we should keep our differences."

"whispering sound."

Although Tao Shuxin pouted, she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips. She started humming a little tune, pretending not to care.

"Here are the car keys. Didn't you say you wanted to go shopping? It's not convenient to take a taxi."

"No need. Senior Sister Su said she would go out with us and she would drive. I won't drive. Your A6 is too ugly."

Tao Shuxin was not worried about the ugly car, but was worried that she would meet someone on the road who recognized Xu Mingyuan's license plate, which would make it inconvenient for her to go out and play.

"Su Muqing? What is she going with you for?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

"She asked me yesterday what I was going to do today, and I said I was going shopping with my best friend, so she said she wanted to come."

"You said you wanted to go shopping in a department store. Is she capable of going there?"

"Why not?"

"Su Muqing is very proud and arrogant."

"It's not that serious. It's just buying a piece of clothing. Isn't that good?"

"Nothing bad, go ahead"

Xu Mingyuan didn't care anymore.

Su Muqing has a high emotional intelligence, so it’s not a bad thing to ask her to teach Xiao Taotao how to behave.
