Chapter 43 Acceptance
Time flies, and the autumn breeze of September is quietly blowing. People changed into long-sleeved clothes, and gold gradually climbed the treetops.
Zhou Shuo stood at the gate of Xiucheng Normal College, looking forward to it. The bell rang and the silent campus was filled with noisy talking and footsteps.
"Li Zhi, here!"
Zhou Shuo waved his arms high, attracting Li Zhi's gaze.
When Li Zhi ran over, he took the heavy schoolbag from her hand and asked with concern, "How was the test?" ”
Li Zhixi replied confidently with a smile: "Who am I?" Of course, there is no problem with the computer level exam. I'll take the bag, you're spoiled. ”
Zhou Shuo threw the schoolbag on his shoulder and said with a smile: "Hehe, this is how heavy, you see that I don't have to work hard." ”
With the arrival of the flow of people out of the school, many people will look at him with grateful eyes when they walk through the school gate, or nod and smile slightly, or wave their hands to say hello.
"These are your students, how do you feel?"
Li Zhi sat sideways on the frame of Zhou Shuo's 28th bicycle, tilted his head and asked.
"Hehe, aren't you the most proud student of mine?" As soon as Zhou Shuo stepped on the pedals, the bicycle rubbed out of the way.
"Ahh Li Zhi screamed in some panic, and hurriedly hugged Zhou Shuo's waist tightly.
After a while, Zhou Shuo's bicycle gradually stabilized, Li Zhi knocked him on the back with a red face, and pretended to be angry: "Why are you so bad, net bully!" ”
"Mistakes, mistakes, haha!"
As he spoke, Zhou Shuo quietly shook the handlebar again, and there was immediately another exclamation on the rear shelf......
sent Li Zhi home, and then Zhou Shuo rushed to the train station non-stop.
After returning to Beijing, James, the manager of Microsoft's China office, sent the program for the trial version of the ERP software back to Microsoft's headquarters, which obviously attracted a lot of attention. didn't wait for the expiration of a month, he took two software engineers to Xiucheng again.
"Zhou, we're meeting again."
James pointed to the two people behind him with a spring breeze on his face and said, "This is Farrell, this is Jessica." They are not very good at Chinese, and this time they are mainly responsible for the work of technical testing. ”
"Welcome to the embroidery city!"
Zhou Shuo enthusiastically stretched out his hand to shake hands with the two people, Farrell was a blonde tall Nordic man, he held his head high, stretched out half of his palm and shook hands with Zhou Shuo lightly, and said in blunt Chinese: "Chinese, don't try to please me, Farrell's test will be very harsh!" ”
Zhou Shuo smiled, nodded and said, "We have an old saying in China, which is called real gold is not afraid of fire. I implore Mr. Farrell to test it by the strictest standards, and that China's skills can stand the test. ”
Farrell showed a wolf-like bloodthirsty smile, looked into Zhou Shuo's eyes and said, "As you wish." ”
Jessica is a beautiful lady with brown hair and blue eyes, with the plump and curvy figure that is unique to European and American women. She smiled slightly and shook Zhou Shuo's hand, and said, "The GHOST software written by Mr. Zhou is really a genius idea, and I am looking forward to this test." ”
Zhou Shuo shook her hand lightly and said confidently: "Miss Jessica, please rest assured, this software will never let you down." ”
After greeting James at the exit of the station, Zhou Shuo felt that more and more eyes were focused on himself. The foreigners in Xiucheng in 1994 are a rare sight, not to mention the fact that there are three! If people are just novelty to foreigners, then they are curious about Zhou Shuoke. Picking up foreigners didn't even have to organize primary school students to offer flowers, nor did they pull banners, beat gongs and drums, just such a young man casually picked people up? What is this person's identity? There was a whisper in the crowd.
Zhou Shuo scratched his head in embarrassment, it was not a good thing to be so conspicuous. Hurriedly took three foreigners to stop a taxi and rode away.
When he arrived at the first high school, Farrell saw that there was no welcome ceremony prepared at the school, and he couldn't help but mutter, "This is really the worst place I've ever seen, and the people here lack reverence for Americans." ”
Zhou Shuo glanced at him lightly, pushed open the door of the teaching building, and then said with a smile: "Please come in, three, the school is in class, let's walk as lightly as possible." ”
Seeing that Zhou Shuo had walked a little farther, James glared at Farrell fiercely, and snorted in a low voice: "Farrell, if you have any complaints, be careful that I let you stay here forever!" ”
Farrell moved his lips and didn't speak. I cursed in my heart, hell, James, a damn bureaucrat, would be so afraid of a Chinese? I'll let him know that the Chinese may have an idea or two worth learning from, but their products are simply a bunch of garbage!
Jessica looked around at the one-year-old school building, which was more than ten or twenty years old, and some corners were inevitably a little dilapidated. But it can be seen that it is actually well taken care of. The peeling wall paint has been carefully repaired, the anti-slip strips on the concrete steps have been freshly nailed, and the paint on the handrails is clean and visible......
There are many details like this, just like the impression that the Chinese in this era brought to her, although they are not rich, but they are not decadent, but seem vibrant.
Listening to the sound of reading aloud from the past classroom, Jessica couldn't help but be a little curious, is the principal of this school actually the Chinese who looks very young in front?
The four of them walked into the computer room in silence, and a low hum of a computer fan suddenly echoed in their ears. Zhou Shuo clapped his hands, and the programmers who were busy in the computer room raised their heads one after another.
He pointed to the three people behind him and said, "Let me introduce to you, these are three representatives sent by Microsoft. They are Manager James of the China office, Mr. Farrell and Ms. Jessica, Software Engineer. Starting today, they will work with you to complete the testing of our ERP software. Come, welcome to all the guests who have come from afar! ”
There was a round of warm but not noisy applause in the computer room, James nodded with a smile and said: "On behalf of Microsoft, I thank you for your welcome and hope we can work together happily!" I won't say anything superfluous, let's put our enthusiasm into our work! ”
Zhou Shuo took out a thick stack of documents from the filing cabinet against the wall in the computer room, put them on the table, patted them and said, "This is the development document of the software, let's start with the document review part of the software acceptance!" ”
Jessica looked at the nearly half-human-tall document and exclaimed in shock, "So many? ”
Farrell stood next to her and hummed in English: "It looks good, but since it is a Chinese document, it would be good to have one-tenth of the effective content, and the excess is probably political study and revolutionary slogans?" ”
After Farrell finished speaking, he felt very funny and humorous, and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed.
Jessica flipped through the documents, looked at them with a bang, and said in surprise, "Your development documentation is actually in English?" ”
Zhou Shuo nodded and said in English: "We use bilingual development to ensure that the English version of the software is accurate and smooth. ”
Jessica flipped out the directory of acceptance documents and read line by line: "Feasibility study report, software requirements specification, project implementation plan, database design specification, software design specification, software test plan specification, user manual, source program list...... It's really not bad, such a perfect acceptance document, many American companies can hardly do it! ”
Farrell hurriedly stepped forward to open a volume of documents, looked at the contents inside, and had to nod and said: "Oh, it's indeed very formal, but isn't writing documents a specialty of Chinese, it's just good on the surface." ”
Zhou Shuo shrugged his shoulders, made a gesture of invitation to James and said, "Our time is precious, why don't we start working now?" ”
James took off his blazer, nodded and said, "Okay, I hope we have a smooth acceptance." ”
The three members of Microsoft sat around and began to look through the documentation. Zhou Shuo sat across from them, responsible for explaining the questions they kept asking.
Farrell's face gradually retracted a smile. The technical content of these documents also made it quite difficult for him to read, and many of the ideas were never touched before.
The three of them looked at more than a dozen documents, and the school bell suddenly rang. Farrell stretched his waist and tapped his wrist to look at James. James looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said, "Alright, Jessica, let's stop here today." ”
After speaking, he said to Zhou Shuo opposite: "Dear Zhou, we are going to get off work, and the rest of the work will continue tomorrow." ”
Of course, Zhou Shuo knew the temper of these Americans, and immediately nodded: "Okay, have you found a place to live?" Do you need me to arrange it? ”
James blinked and said, "Oh, thank you, Zhou." However, we have already booked a suite at the Xiucheng Hotel, so we won't bother you after work, we have our own activities......"
"Have fun!"
Zhou Shuo dropped them off at the school gate, watched them get in the car and leave, and turned around to go back to school.
Farrell and James were sitting in the back seat of the taxi, and James suddenly turned his head and asked him: "Farrell, what do you think of the Chinese's skills?" ”
Farrell pursed his lips and said, "If their technique is as rigorous as the documentation, I think it's a good product." ”
James hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then if we imitate it, is there any difficulty?" ”
Farrell nodded and said, "There must be difficulties, this week is very talented, and many aspects of his thinking are almost ahead of the times." ”
"Is there nothing that can be done?" James looked a little surprised.
Farrell shook his head and smiled: "Of course not, if you can get their development documents, Microsoft's engineers will never be worse than the Chinese." ”
James nodded affirmatively, and made up his mind: "I also believe in this, since that's the case, let's try it first." If it succeeds, it will save the company a lot of money. ”
