I used to have ideals, but that was more than 20 years ago. In this world where business rules everything, talking about ideals is like listening to the bells of Heavenly Mountain in Bato Hell, which is not only ethereal, but also ridiculous.

If you can ignore the monthly mortgage and car loan, ignore the life of your family, and have no worries, why not live a happy life, the problem is here.

How could I not have worries? Prometheus stopped in just a few months, how long can Mekrit go? Xia Ming, you are still young, I am my age, I really dare not bet, Lawrence should also leave at this time.

When Wu Sihao went to work in the morning, his mind was still full of such thoughts, which made him a little irritable and never able to enter the working state.

The general manager of the department urged on IM: "Lao Wu, how much did you pay for the public grain last night, and the boss hasn't finished the matter yet?" ”

"I had something to do yesterday, didn't I ask you for leave?" , Wu Sihao's mood suddenly became even worse, this boss only had progress in his eyes, and never cared about the life and death of the people below. Even if you finish your progress, you have to do more.

Who makes progress is performance, and performance is the income of the boss. As for the people below, except for the backbone like themselves, others are not just like screws, broken and replaced, not suitable for replacement, people in this era are not more expensive than livestock.

When he was called to the office by his boss, Wu Sihao was still trying to adjust his mentality, which was already a habit he had developed in the workplace for many years.

"Taking leave does not mean that you are out of work, and you must always tense your nerves to dedicate yourself to your career. The ideal of the company waits for no one, you are one day behind, and it will take two days or more to catch up. ”

The boss chattered and counted, Wu Sihao pouted secretly, the company's ideals? Isn't it just going to the NASDAQ to circle money?

Then the boss explained: "The current project must be completed today, the hand-in-hand project must be launched, and the boss requires the technical side to be completed within this month." ”

"Hand in hand?" Wu Sihao frowned: "Isn't this project right?" ”

His company is a ticketing website, and the Hand in Hand project wants to create a "full range of life services", and the items of food, clothing and housing are also linked. The problem is that the company has no verification capability in these areas at all, just like selling advertising, whoever pays more will be recommended.

When the internal discussion meeting was held before, most people were against it, mainly because they were afraid that the user experience would become too poor, and the public opinion set off by Prometheus was too fierce at that time, and adding recommendations on the APP would undoubtedly require more big data level actions.

"The boss negotiated with Chihiro and replaced the recommendation with Chihiro's advertisement. With Chihiro's big data capabilities, the user experience will not be too bad. And with this business, the earnings data for this fiscal quarter looks much better. ...... that will have a decisive impact on the subsequent listing"

The boss reluctantly explained, and then said impatiently: "Okay, Lao Wu, you can keep your opinions, but this is the company's core strategy!" Whoever drags behind will leave! ”

Replace testimonials with Chihiro's ads?

Wu Sihao's eyes widened, who didn't know that Chihiro's advertisement was a dog skin plaster on a telephone pole? Do you get users to believe that?

The boss was very unimpressed by Wu Sihao's reaction: "Old Wu, don't put on that expression, I know everyone hates Chihiro, but Chihiro can help us make money!" ”

Make hay...... Make hay......

Wu Sihao's mind flashed through what Xia Ming had said in the group of advisors.

"We make money to achieve our ideals, and if our ideals are just to make money, this is putting the cart before the horse. I know it's naïve, but I'm sure there are many people who are as naïve as I am. ”

He suddenly felt that the boss in front of him, the office he was in, the entire company, and even himself, had become extremely ugly.

"I ...... I haven't finished yesterday yet, and I want to take a few more days off. ”

You should give yourself a chance, he said to himself.

The boss was puzzled: "Still asking for leave?" Lao Wu, you have to understand that if you don't look at this project, you are giving the opportunity to others. ”

Opportunity? Haha, chances? He didn't even ask if there was any trouble, if there was any problem. After seven or eight years of hard work in this company, he is just a cattle! Isn't all this just because the company's ideal is just to make money?

A desolation was like a sword, piercing through the obstacles of his heart, and he sighed, he understood, understood his choice.

Wu Sihao looked at his boss and said word by word: "I want to resign!" ”

The boss didn't react at all: "What? ”

"I'll make it clearer", Wu Sihao's voice became louder: "I've had enough of this ghost place!" ”

The boss's face instantly turned red, and he tried to maintain his demeanor and said, "Old Wu, did you take the wrong medicine?" ”

"I took the wrong medicine! What stupid things have I been doing all these years!? Help you deceive people! Help you make money! Help you make this line of work more and more smoky! ”

Wu Sihao erupted: "Do you know why I didn't tell my daughter where I worked?" I can't afford to lose that person! I don't want to be told by my daughter, oh, Dad, whoever uses your company scolds you, and you never have a face to make money! If it weren't for the fact that you have a background for a long time, like a hotel next to the train station, you can survive by deceiving passers-by, you would have died a long time ago! ”

"I took the wrong medicine, I became an animal, and I thought it was a person!"

The boss was so angry that his lips trembled: "Wu Sihao! You're fired! ”

Wu Sihao laughed: "I know how to go, unlike you, I have no brains and no knees for a long time!" ”

Pushing the door out, he felt that his body and mind were smooth, and he had never been so happy in his life.

"Where's Natsu?"

In the computer room on the first floor of the research institute, Wu Sihao asked Lin Cheng that he was happy for a while, and there were still too many details to be finalized with Xia Ming.

Lin Cheng didn't raise his head and said: "He is busy with other things in the research room, the agreement is here, what is the problem to see this." ”

Are the agreements ready?

Wu Sihao's heart trembled, Xia Ming was so sure that he would make a decision?

I picked up the agreement and looked at it, and sure enough, all the details were done.

Xia Ming's plan is to register a private company called Mirage in Cayman to develop and sell the "Alfalfa" graphics and image engine. The company's shares are 40% for Xia Ming, 30% for Lin Cheng, 15% for Lawrence, 5% for Xu Ping, 5% for Tang Xiaotang and 5% for Wu Sihao.

Lin Cheng is the chief architect of the company, Lawrence is the CEO and general manager of the American company, and Wu Sihao is the general manager of Huaxia Company.

"Where's Lawrence!?"

suddenly became a shareholder, which made Wu Sihao's heart fall to the ground, and immediately a huge question sprung up, how did Lawrence get it?

"Wu? You're here? Come and help me with curve optimization! ”

A bald head sticking out of the corner was none other than Lawrence. This Yankee is 1.9 meters tall and weighs 130 kilograms, he is a super big man, but at this time, he is crowded behind the workbench in the corner that was originally used by Xia Ming, and he looks very busy.

"You're still the same as you were ten years ago, slow and inefficient, if you let me know sooner, we'll be able to catch up with next year's CES!"

Lawrence has taken on the role of his boss, mercilessly educating Wu Sihao, making the latter smile bitterly, who was full of complaints yesterday and complained that he was kidnapped?

"I didn't expect that quantum computing here already has a complete application to graphic images, which is nothing short of a miracle! It's really hard to understand the introversion of your Chinese people, you should call the company a miracle directly, not an illusion! ”

Lawrence was still complaining, but there was a familiar glint in his eyes, just like ten years ago, no, less fanatical and more determined than ten years ago. This made him regret it, he knew he should have stayed yesterday and saw how Lawrence's mind had changed.

Lawrence couldn't stop talking: "Xia and Lin have completed the most basic work, they have opened up the world and created the elements. Our job is to use these elements to create worlds, real worlds that allow humans to survive and thrive. Of course, in order to adapt to today's display devices, we must first do backward compatibility......"

He said indignantly: "Damn it! We have to look up to the primitives first! ”

Wu Sihao thought of Lawrence by himself, and asked worriedly: "Matthew, what about your job at Microsoft?" ”

Lawrence scolded: "Microsoft? Those parasites who only know how to make money from patents! Am I taking the wrong medicine and have been helping them do evil for so many years!? ”

Wu Sihao was stunned, laughed again, and took the wrong medicine again.

The small office has been cleaned up, and Cicada Technology has officially moved to the Dinglong Building today.

Li Diluo carried the "Cicada Technology" sign that had just been removed, and asked the two girls: "You really don't want to go over and have a look?" ”

Seeing that both of them shook their heads, he said regretfully: "I'm still thinking about what position to leave for you, but my studies are important, I understand." ”

Seeing them leave, Li Diluo shook his head and said to himself: "Women, they are short-sighted. ”

Downstairs, the two girls were chatting while waiting for a taxi.

Gu Mingli said: "I've been taking care of the cicadas for a while, and the things of the student union have fallen a lot, after all, it's just a part-time job, what about you, Xiaohuan?" ”

Xiao Huan said gloomily: "I think Xia Ming is quite suitable as my boyfriend, a technical nerd, and a good temper, but people have girlfriends, and it will be very annoying to stay by other people's side." ”

Gu Mingli laughed: "You are also quite good at pretending to be a good girl, don't joke and don't know your true face......"

She smiled and said seriously: "This part-time job is really insightful, there are really naïve people like Xia Ming in the world, it is wise for us not to continue to follow the cicadas." You are a university of the people, and you have a great future. As for me, I also have my thoughts, cicadas can't eat in the business field at all, and it will be good if I can survive until I graduate, and I may enter the top 500 at that time...... Global. There is an empty car, I will go first! BYE！ ”

Looking at Gu Mingli, who stopped the car, Xiao Huan pouted and said, "I'm going to make a joke and I'll state it first." ”

"By the way, let's talk to Xia Ming", she took out the phone and thought about it, but didn't dial: "It's better to say it in person......"

The girl's eyes lit up with stars, and her cheeks turned red: "Look at his shy appearance again!" ”

In the laboratory, Xia Ming stared at the long-haired girl on the screen with blazing eyes, but the other party did not look a little shy, and tapped the keyboard with a calm expression.

"Why don't you speak? Continue ......"

"Well, anyway, Google's $7 million should be enough for us to build a new lab. Regardless of whether it is still in the name of Yan University, it is better for the institute to move out, otherwise it is too convenient for Yang Yuanchang to do something. Don't forget, Wang Haosheng is most likely his person. ”

"This money is earned by you and Lin Zi, is it all used in the research institute?"

"Uncle Shi, we are all grasshoppers on a rope, can we separate?"

"Then you're still so swaggering? The news made by Prometheus is even a household name for Internet companies in the United States, do you wish that Yang Yuanchang would know that you would make money? ”

"I don't want to, things have come to this point, so I can only rush forward. Did you read the agreement I sent you, Mirage Corporation? ”

"Chairman Grace, remember to leave some scum for me and Professor Xu, just kidding, that technology was originally done by you alone, there is no need to talk to me with the professor...... Forget it, you're right, we're all grasshoppers on a rope, so let's toss it however you want. ”

She frowned and said: "Originally, I wanted to solve the resonance phase equation of the new artificial nerve synapse at EMBL in Heisenberg, but when I applied for the supercomputing center, I found that the project was prioritized, which is very unusual, maybe Yang Yuanchang and his gang wanted to see my progress, so I quickly revoked the ......."

Xia Ming suddenly understood: "Send it to me in our format." ”

"Don't tell me that the pile of rags in the research institute can be counted", Tang Xiaotang didn't believe it.

Xia Ming smiled: "I'll try it with Qianyan." ”

"Chiyan?" Tang Xiaotang paused, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you the operation process together, but when I come back, you have to give me an explanation." ”

She raised her eyebrows, which was the queen's posture that Xia Ming was familiar with: "If you feel that you have to make up lies before you tell the truth, it's best to use more snacks." In this world, the one who can deceive me in this matter has not yet been born. ”

Xia Ming said stiffly: "I will be the first", thought about it, and added: "It is also the last one." ”

Tang Xiaotang smiled: "Show me the proof." ”

Then she approached the camera, and the sparkle in her brown eyes rippled slightly, making Xia Ming's heart ripple, and she heard the girl say: "Be careful......"

In the computer room on the first floor, Lin Cheng was busy, and he was called several times before he reacted.

Looking up and seeing a mushroom-headed girl, Lin Cheng thought for a while before remembering how many times he had met in the research institute, helping Xia Ming do things in the cicada, what was it called?

The girl asked, "I'm Xiao Huan, is Xia Ming here?" I didn't see him in the office. ”

"If you're not in the office, you're in the lab, you'll wait", Lin Cheng felt very annoyed, replied casually, lowered his head and got busy again.

"Laboratory? I'll go find him. ”

Lin Cheng's code was being written to the cool place, Xiao Huan's words were basically brushing his head back, nodding his head subconsciously, and when he felt different, the girl was gone.

Lin Cheng scratched the lion's head: "The experiments have stopped, there should be no problem." ”
