"Mom, really, it's nothing. Don't worry about me!" Ding Zhengnan took the opportunity during lunch to call her mother and inform her that she wouldn't be coming home for lunch.
As a result, her mother began to question whether she was being targeted or if her workload was too heavy. Of course, Ding Zhengnan did her best to deny it. If she couldn't handle such a small matter, she might as well learn painting beside her grandfather!
"Honestly, why did your dad arrange such a position for you? It's both exhausting and troublesome," Lu Yan complained with concern.
"This position is good; it can help me grow. You don't need to worry!" Ding Zhengnan replied, a hint of bitterness mixed with strength in her voice, her eyes showing no confusion or weakness.
At first, she jokingly told Jiang Yizhou that she wanted to find a man more successful than her father. However, as she realized that apart from her own few thousand dollars in support, her boyfriend's achievements were increasingly something she could only look up to.
Moreover, the kind of relationship they had—somewhat distant and not very intense—made her gradually feel insecure. Despite her efforts leading to some progress, she worried about what else she could do for him. Did she only need to be a beautiful wife?
Ding Zhengnan sensed Jiang Yizhou's admiration for outstanding women—like Li Yue and Song Rushi—those who could be of help to him.
So she felt it was time for her to work hard. After learning about Jiang Yizhou's salary and funding, she specifically researched Silicon Valley, venture capital, and financing. The second round of valuation had reached over a hundred million dollars; what heights could it reach in the future?
She didn't expect that the time spent with Jiang Yizhou, despite his various flaws, was filled with an inexplicable confidence and unexpected surprises that sparked her affection for him.
Thus, even when the last application was successful, Ding Zhengnan resolutely decided to return home and accept her father's arrangements. This was the fastest way she could think of to grow.
If she stayed in school studying, she'd only be able to quietly watch him grow into someone who made her proud yet anxious.
"By the way, Ding Zhengnan, it seems like the computer is acting up again. I can't open anything; I can only turn it on. What should I do?" Lu Yan asked.
To facilitate communication, Ding Zhengnan had taught her mother how to use the computer and helped her register for Qi and Fail. Every morning, her mother would chat with her aunt in America during the evening there.
Is the computer infected with a virus? Ding Zhengnan's first thought was this. Previously, Jiang Yizhou had bought the computer for her and handled any repairs since he learned how to fix computers in training class. It hadn't broken down much after that, so she hadn't paid much attention.
"Mom, wait for me to find someone to help you fix it!" Ding Zhengnan, as a shareholder of Zhengyi Technology, was often asked by Jiang Yizhou to check in after returning to the country. Over time, she became familiar with Li Yue, also trying to understand what aspects of her caught Jiang Yizhou's attention.
Finding Li Yue's phone number, she dialed it casually. "Hello, Yuejie?"
Since Li Yue was a few months older and much more mature than her, Ding Zhengnan followed Jiang Yizhou in calling her Yuejie.
Li Yue slightly relaxed her furrowed brows, rubbing around her closed eyes as she softly replied, "Ding Zhengnan, what's up?"
"My computer is broken, and I don't know where to get it repaired, so I can only come to you, Yuejie!" Ding Zhengnan said cheerfully as if they were good friends.
"Okay, I'll send someone to help you fix it. It's one of my female employees named Mao Ya. Be nice to her and don't turn her away!"
After some casual chatting, Ding Zhengnan sent a message to her mother and then walked out from a secluded corner.
What she didn't see was that Pan Su, an old employee who had always been at odds with her, was hiding nearby eavesdropping on the call. It wasn't until Ding Zhengnan walked far away that she stopped hiding. Thinking about the content of the call and the position her father arranged for her—a girl in her twenties with a father in his forties who was a relative of a senior executive—if she couldn't figure out the implications behind this, she might as well resign.
Pan Su initially wanted to see if she could catch Ding Zhengnan off guard but soon turned pale. If the successor gained enough experience and there was no need to tolerate her anymore, the consequences would be unbearable for Pan Su. On the other hand, if she performed well...
Pan Su quickly made up her mind; she absolutely could not create trouble on purpose anymore. She needed to give Ding Zhengnan a serious and responsible impression.
...
Li Yue rubbed her head; the progress at the internet café was going very smoothly—much better than the Training Class with its outdated computers and incomplete training materials.
In addition to building good relationships with local police and city management personnel to respond promptly when trouble arose, as long as they sorted out the network and computers internally, the beta version of the Network Management System was already online. It only had basic functions like charging and reminders, but that was sufficient for now. Once they recruited some security guards and staff members, they could open successfully.
At this time, those who could afford internet access were relatively decent in quality. However, in another year or two, as internet usage became widespread, public safety issues would become significant problems. For now, recruiting security guards was mainly to prevent theft.
"Yaya, go to this address. A friend's mother has a computer issue, and you need to help her fix it. The transportation and repair costs will be charged to the account!" At that time, Mao Ya had become somewhat of a technician herself; she could solve most common computer problems simply through practice.
After instructing Mao Ya and handling matters related to Training Class, she returned to Zhengyi Technology.
Meanwhile, Wu Ming, who was also involved with Zheng Yi, sought some investment from Jiang Yizhou for a company he started called Universal Software.
In that Universal Software, he held 0% equity, having not invested any money himself. Jiang Yizhou contributed one million, with potential further investments depending on development, serving as compensation for his exit from the profit-sharing of the Ailumese options.
However, Wu Ming felt quite regretful. If he had held on, even if he didn’t contribute much, he might have received at least 1% or even 0.5% of the shares from Jiang Yizhou, which would be worth fifty thousand dollars.
Although he valued his reputation, fifty thousand dollars converted on the black market would exceed five million Renminbi. In light of that amount, could reputation feed him?
Unfortunately, it was all in the past now; regretting wouldn’t help. Fortunately, the Universal Network Management System was quite good, a name given by Jiang Yizhou, which he accepted.
Now, with the increasing number of internet users, internet cafes are gradually rising in major cities. At least in the capital city, there are already more than ten such establishments, and as internet infrastructure develops, there will be even more in the future.
This time he felt confident about succeeding in his venture, even if he couldn’t achieve the same level as Jiang Yizhou.
