Chapter 307: Kill first and tell later
Chapter 307: Kill first and tell later
The room was warm due to the central air conditioning. Xu Mingyuan was fiddling with a rabbit doll in front of the computer desk. Yang Zhi was lying on the bed doing homework, listening to the occasional cold wind blowing outside the window, her mind not on the test paper.
Whenever Xu Mingyuan was at home, Yang Zhi had no mood to read and always wanted to be in a daze for a while.
After finishing the Chinese paper with gritted teeth, Yang Zhi packed up her books, opened the drawer of the cabinet, and took out the knitting needles.
Yang Zhi placed a lot of her things in Xu Mingyuan's room. Since moving, she had free access to both rooms. Even Xu Jun had to ask her for the key when he wanted to come in and take a look.
In addition, since Xu Mingyuan was not at home most of the time, Yang Zhi treated his room as her own room.
After all, she cleaned the room herself, and Yang Zhi knew what was in the cabinet better than Xu Mingyuan. Even the location of the dolls was carefully selected by herself.
For example, the plush rabbit that Xu Mingyuan is holding now. Yang Zhi knows that when he is absorbed in his thoughts, he likes to fiddle with the little gadgets in his hands.
I took out the black and white mixed yarn ball I just bought today. It will be frost in two days, and the temperature will drop completely in half a month. If I don’t knit a scarf now, I will have no time.
Last year, Xu Mingyuan gave Yang Zhi red and pink balls of wool. Yang Zhi treated it as a practice and put them aside after she finished knitting. Otherwise, her brother would not like them, which would go against her original intention.
Yang Zhi was already very experienced in knitting scarves. It took her only a few minutes to get the basics right. If she spent ten minutes a day, she would be able to knit it in less than ten days. After a few more days, she would be able to knit a neck warmer for herself.
He was just a little distracted. When Yang Zhi had nothing to do, he would go to see if he had finished his work, so his hands slowed down.
Not long after, Xu Mingyuan's cell phone vibrated. Yang Zhi trotted over, pulled out a small stool beside her, and sat down next to him. She continued to hook the knitting needle in her hand, but her ears perked up.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
Seeing that it was Tao Shuxin's call, Xu Mingyuan answered the phone and asked casually.
"I want to bring Li Siqi and Zhou Yue home to play, do you mind?" Tao Shuxin asked softly.
"I don't care. What time is it? Are you still outside?" Xu Mingyuan asked.
"No, we came back a long time ago and were having a barbecue on the balcony."
"It's freezing cold, and you guys don't mind the cold. Clean up after you're done, and drink less cold beer."
"I know, I know, nagging."
Seeing that he was not blamed for acting without authorization, Tao Shuxin hung up the phone happily.
Little girls at this age love to have fun. Xu Mingyuan has never interfered with Tao Shuxin's personal life and never cared about what she likes to do. After all, these girls are honest. At most, they drink a little bit of wine secretly, and then go to bed after having fun until late at night.
Seeing Xiao Yangzhi quietly approaching, Xu Mingyuan put down his phone and asked, "Are you not doing your homework?"
“I don’t want to write today.”
"If you don't want to write, then don't write. By the way, why don't you go out and play with your classmates? You can also bring your friends home to play." Xu Mingyuan said.
"Well...there's nothing to play with at home."
"We can read and do homework together."
"Then I might as well go to school..." Yang Zhi whispered.
"Haha, forget it if you don't want to."
Xu Mingyuan shook his head and didn't mention it again.
Xiao Yangzhi was good in every way except that she was a little cold-tempered. After she graduated from high school, just like in junior high school, almost no one could contact her.
No matter how busy Xu Mingyuan is, he will usually chat with his classmates online. He is not like Xiao Yangzhi, who cuts off contact when they are not together.
Thinking about Xiao Yangzhi's mention of wanting to have a child, Xu Mingyuan felt that this was a good idea. At least she wouldn't be too lonely.
Glancing at Xiao Yangzhi's slender legs hidden in her pajamas, Xu Mingyuan quickly shook off the idea of committing a crime and diverted his attention.
"Hey, which of these three phones do you think is better looking?"
Xu Mingyuan opened the design and asked Xiao Yangzhi to check it. "They all look good..."
Yang Zhi didn't have much aesthetic taste, and seeing that they were three similar mobile phones, he could only give an ambiguous answer.
"Ha, well, it's useless to ask you."
Xu Mingyuan didn't care. The phone would be launched in a hurry, basically between December and January next year.
In fact, it is not difficult to choose which one, but for daily necessities like mobile phones, you need to pay more attention to the small details. Xu Mingyuan still cares a lot about reputation.
"This one looks better."
Yang Zhi stared at the screen for a while, then pointed at one of the bar-screen phones and said.
"why?"
Seeing that she was referring to a mobile phone with slender buttons, Xu Mingyuan asked.
"Because, um... it feels more neatly arranged." Yang Zhi scratched his head and said.
"Not bad, I have an idea, let's go with this one."
Since Xiao Yangzhi had chosen the style, Xu Mingyuan no longer hesitated and simply let her decide. After all, this little girl had a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder, and maybe her choice would be better than his own.
All three phones were popular models in the future, with slightly different appearances and larger differences in buttons.
The only downside to the slim keys is that the letters are too small to be easily distinguished. Also, the keys are too small to be comfortable to use.
But young people who often use keypad phones can type blindly, so although it is a disadvantage, it is not that important. In addition, some of the remaining space is given to the phone screen, which will be more comfortable from the perspective of appearance.
Xu Mingyuan originally intended the first generation of Starry Sky mobile phone to target young people. The better the exterior, the better. Combined with the small games inside the phone, it was enough to make it a best-selling model.
If it weren't for the fact that current mobile phone production lines are too expensive, with a semi-automatic hybrid production line alone costing more than 20 million, Xu Mingyuan would have planned to produce three models of mobile phones.
The disadvantage of not wanting to let outsiders raise funds is this. Equipment, employees, training, production, etc. all need to be calculated clearly. After all, the money is your own, and you will definitely feel sad if you lose it, so there are more concerns.
Hearing the sound coming from the courtyard gate, Yang Zhi hurriedly threw down the ball of thread in her hand, put on her coat, and ran downstairs to open the door.
Yang Zhi had nothing to do every day, and she never found it troublesome. She would just open the locked door. She was afraid that someone would suddenly come to her house when she was asleep.
Seeing that it was his old father returning home, Xu Mingyuan followed him downstairs.
If you go home at this time, you must be going out to drink.
As expected, Xu Jun, dressed in a suit and tie with his arms open, went straight to the tea table in the living room as soon as he entered the house, holding a cup of tea to sober up.
"boss."
Liu Yang, who was carrying a bag, saw Xu Mingyuan and walked up to say hello.
"Well, sit anywhere." Xu Mingyuan nodded and said to Xu Jun beside him, "Dad, who are you drinking with?"
"Huang Yanping."
"I've never heard of him. Why do you care about him?" Xu Mingyuan asked.
"The girl wants to take the college entrance examination next year, so find someone to change her student status." Xu Jun said.
Hearing this, Xu Mingyuan immediately looked at Xiao Yangzhi.
Yang Zhi lowered his head, staring at his toes and not daring to go to him...
