Students with good academic performance and strength were increasingly favored by enterprises. At first, I didn't know what had changed this. It wasn't until I started working that I realized the Electronics Technology Industry Development Alliance had shifted the entire industry towards technology. Technology could earn money within the alliance, and tech-focused companies could also make a fortune. This new rule meant companies cut down on flashy gimmicks and only cared about students' professional abilities, nothing else.
They didn't trust any data provided by schools. Instead, they created their own exams, and only those who scored well were hired.
Later, it wasn't just limited to the electronics major. Many other types of companies also joined the Electronics Technology Industry Development Alliance. The entry requirements for this alliance were said to be quite relaxed. As long as their projects involved computer-related components, they could join.
For example, the biological research company I've joined is here because their research project includes a wearable device for monitoring bodily data, which requires some computer chips. That's why they joined the Electronics Technology Industry Development Alliance!
Ultimately, students in almost all science and engineering majors at the school discovered that their employment environment had changed. Previously, in addition to academic scores and abilities, many other aspects were required to find a good job.
But now, as long as you are willing to learn, you can gain the favor of good companies. Moreover, students with strong technical skills are highly sought after by many enterprises. Even for a biology graduate like myself, who is not highly regarded in the country, because I ranked first, five companies simultaneously offered me positions. I eventually chose this company, which offered me a monthly salary of 15,000 yuan. This was a result I could not have imagined even two years ago!
Many of our classmates have exclaimed that an era of technology dominance is about to arrive, and the entire research environment in China will change. Since most Chinese enterprises are investing in research, people like us will have better development opportunities!
Therefore, I am very grateful to Boss Huang. Without him, I wouldn't be in this state today. Perhaps one day, I won't be able to suppress the impatience and anger within me and commit an unforgivable mistake! After Ma Jue finished speaking, Hu Jing, however, fell silent.
The Boss Huang on the other side also stopped talking. He couldn't help but feel a little touched. For the first time, he realized that what he was doing was actually quite meaningful. At the very least, he had genuinely changed some aspects of China's environment and brought better changes to the world. This made Chairman Huang very happy.
However, Chairman Huang's happiness wouldn't last long. Ma Jue politely invited Hu Jing to watch a movie, and Hu Jing actually agreed. This was the first time Hu Jing had accepted a movie invitation from someone after so many blind dates, marking a significant improvement.
If Boss Huang wasn't interested and secretly followed Hu Jing to the movie, it would be too awkward, and Boss Huang would seem too much like a sycophant. However, Boss Huang still arranged for people to follow and ensure Hu Jing's safety. He himself returned to his company's headquarters in Shanghai and enjoyed a rare night's sleep without any dreams.
The next day, Boss Huang surprisingly received another piece of good news, which directly led him to fly from Shanghai to Wenzhou with Hu Jing.
"How did your conversation with that guy go yesterday? I heard he was quite liked by your mother!" Boss Huang asked with a smile on the plane.
"Didn't you hear it all? Why are you asking me?" Hu Jing retorted impatiently. Although she couldn't see Boss Huang, she was certain he was nearby. After spending more time with Huang He, she could even smell his scent.
"Ahem, I didn't!" Boss Huang said seriously. "But I'm very curious, did you do anything after watching the movie yesterday? Are you planning to resign from my company early?"
"No, after the movie, I directly rejected him. Although he's a good person, he's not my type at all. Also, I sense a certain impatience in his bones. Even though he's hiding it well now, I can still feel it!" Hu Jing said calmly.
"So, you failed again?" Boss Huang chuckled. In fact, he already knew the outcome. The people at the water dispenser had reported to him that morning that Secretary Hu had failed her seventh blind date.
"..." Hu Jing rolled her eyes at Boss Huang. Boss Huang chuckled, then started looking at the documents in his hand. As he lowered his head, he unexpectedly noticed that for some reason, a thread on Hu Jing's stocking had snagged, revealing a patch of fair skin.
In an instant, Boss Huang felt a flame rise within him, and he became restless and fidgety. He finally took a cup of cold cola to try and calm himself down.
It seemed that the flight attendant recognized Boss Huang. Although her expression remained composed, she bent over a little too much while pouring him a drink, giving Boss Huang a free view of the scenery.
That wasn't all. While pouring the drink, the flight attendant accidentally spilled some on Boss Huang's waistband. A fool could tell this was a very cliché tactic, and it was later overused in idol dramas.
However, such tactics also had their advantages: they were simple and direct. The beautiful flight attendant, who had made the mistake, immediately invited Boss Huang to the business class restroom to change his pants. She offered to use the airplane's hairdryer to dry his pants.
Gu Chong
Boss Huang didn't react at first. However, the flight attendant actually accompanied Boss Huang into the restroom and then crouched down...
Boss Huang wasn't a promiscuous person initially, but at that moment, his temper had already been provoked by someone, so he... well, he did something, but it was limited to... Boss Huang remained chaste.
Afterward, Boss Huang directly had someone transfer 300,000 yuan to the flight attendant to keep her quiet. He also clearly told her that everything ended there and there would be no further relations, and this interlude was over.
However, Hu Jing kept rolling her eyes at Boss Huang throughout. Boss Huang could only laugh it off and then solemnly declared his intention to learn from Hu Jing, asking her to contact famous private jet manufacturers, both domestic and international, to purchase a private jet as soon as possible.
This way, Boss Huang wouldn't have to face these ambitious "wildflowers" anymore.
"Yes, and then all the flight attendants will become your 'homegrown flowers,' right?" Hu Jing quipped, but she immediately began to carry out the order. What happened today had thoroughly disgusted Hu Jing, and she didn't want to see such a situation occur again.
At this time, Lucheng University had entered its winter break. However, 80% of the students did not go home early because, in addition to their studies, they also had work commitments. They were receiving salaries from Jiangnan Group and wouldn't have the chance to go home until the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month.
However, the school had thoughtfully bought plane tickets for all of them, ensuring they could all return home before New Year's Eve.
Therefore, the entire school was still bustling with activity, with many students fully dedicating themselves to scientific research. They were completely unaware that their big boss, Boss Huang, had arrived at the university and, after heading straight into the most hidden building on campus, met with its负责人, Zuo Sicheng.
"How is it, where's the prototype?" Huang He asked excitedly. Zuo Sicheng had just sent him a message that the prototype of the quinary system had been developed.
"It's here!" Zuo Sicheng handed a mobile phone to Boss Huang. Boss Huang took it and immediately started operating it. Upon unlocking it, his face lit up with surprise because the screen after unlocking was almost identical to the classic smartphone desktop of later generations.
Then came a series of detailed operations and experiments, and they found that the smoothness was almost the same as the iPhone 3GS. Whether it was making calls, reading messages, or other normal phone functions, they were basically the same.
However, the most crucial aspect was the various specific applications on the phone. This sample phone had none of them!
"Currently, we have only completed the basic architecture of the system and configured some basic mobile phone functions. We are still expanding and enriching the needs for more programs!"
"But this is already a huge progress. At the very least, we have completed the basic framework of the quinary computer system. This is like we have built the stove and have a pot; from now on, it's just a matter of spending time putting ingredients into the pot!" Zuo Sicheng said this very calmly, but many people didn't realize the immense difficulty involved.
This was not an ordinary matter; it was about building an unprecedented quinary mobile phone system. It was equivalent to starting a race from the binary system in 1960, a gap of over 40 years that needed to be closed.
And Zuo Sicheng had only taken one year to catch up by about 30 years.
Of course, there were many other factors involved. For example, Zuo Sicheng mobilized the entire student body for development, and the annual budget for this entire school exceeded one billion US dollars.
Another key point was that although Zuo Sicheng hoped to develop the quinary system without being influenced by the rules and conventions of the binary system, in practice, he was able to build upon the foundation of binary computer systems, which undoubtedly reduced the difficulty significantly.
Finally, and most importantly, was Zuo Sicheng's own contribution. He was an undisputed genius!
