Han Chuang has been studying hard for more than ten years. As soon as the college entrance examination is over, the burden on the candidates is gone and they feel relieved. Regardless of whether they did well or poorly, they all smile and are lazy. Happy days are coming for the candidates. Now, they get together, discuss passionately, meet for dinner, stay up all night surfing the Internet, travel, go to KTV to party, and enjoy the days when they have just gained "freedom and liberation".
Contrary to all candidates, the words of the great scientist's assistant system indicate that Zhou Xing's hard life will continue.
"You brat, are you still sleeping in? Why don't you respond when I ask you to eat?" Ye Huilan opened Zhou Xing's room angrily:
Seeing this scene in front of her, Ye Huilan was immediately dumbfounded.
After the college entrance examination, Ye Huilan expected Zhou Xing to lie in his room and sleep in, or play games to relax, but he was still repeating what he had been doing for more than a month, sitting quietly at his desk and concentrating on studying.
Ye Huilan was both happy and distressed. She couldn't help but walked forward and persuaded: "Xiaoxing, isn't the college entrance examination over? What are you still studying? Don't you want to go out with your classmates?"
"Mom, I bought some books in the library to read. I'm not hungry yet. I'll go down to eat later!" Zhou Xing turned around and explained, then turned around and continued reading:
It is rare that Zhou Xing is not willing to give up studying even after the college entrance examination. What else can Ye Huilan say? I wonder what parents will refuse after hearing such a request.
"Xiaoxing, what are you reading?" Ye Huilan nodded and asked happily:
The college entrance examination is over, Zhou Xing shouldn't continue reading textbooks, right? Don't read novels with unhealthy thoughts. Ye Huilan was a little worried and suddenly reached out to look at the cover of the book Zhou Xing was reading.
"Advanced Mathematics" Volume 1.
Ye Huilan looked at Zhou Xing in bewilderment and asked in surprise: "Xiao Xing, are you teaching yourself what you need to know in your freshman year? The college entrance examination has just ended, why don't you take a break first? Isn't your head tired?"
The college entrance examination is over, and Zhou Xing also wants to take a rest, but the problem is that the cheating system won't let him!
"Aren't you tired?" Zhou Xing looked at Ye Huilan with a sad face and said duplicitously:
Mom continued to ask questions, expecting that a warning from the system would come later. Zhou Xing grimaced and begged: "Mom, please go out first! Don't disturb me reading."
"Okay, okay!... Then I'll go out first. When I'm hungry, I'll come out to eat!" Ye Huilan nodded happily:
After saying that, Ye Huilan turned around and quickly left Zhou Xing's room, not forgetting to close the door gently before leaving.
Ye Huilan hummed a little tune and walked downstairs happily.
"What? Is that kid still sleeping in and not coming down to eat?" Zhou Wenhai's face darkened when he saw Ye Huilan going downstairs alone and sitting at the dinner table waiting for someone:
"I woke up early and was reading a book!" Ye Huilan shook her head and smiled:
"It's just him. You're just reading nonsense. You want to cover up for your son. Why don't you come up with a better excuse?" Zhou Wenhai glared at Ye Huilan and asked angrily:
"Well, that kid only plays games and sleeps in the room. It seems too difficult for you to think of other excuses." Zhou Wenhai seemed to have thought of something, his face darkened, and he said sadly:
Hearing this, Ye Huilan was slightly startled, and then remembered that there was something wrong with the factory. Zhou Wenhai had been visiting the factory recently, and she deliberately concealed it. He didn't know about Zhou Xing's great changes yet.
Ye Huilan had a strange look on her face, looking at Zhou Wenhai's sad face, she wanted to laugh but couldn't.
"Xiao Xing has just finished the college entrance examination. Ignore him for now." Ye Huilan suddenly remembered something and asked solemnly: "Has the order from Mr. He been negotiated?"
Zhou Xing has undergone tremendous changes recently. Ye Huilan focused on him and didn't pay much attention to the current situation at the factory.
Hearing this, Zhou Wenhai's face darkened, he lit a cigarette and started smoking it irritably.
Ye Huilan's face turned pale and she asked in a panic: "What? Didn't you take it down?"
"Well, the order price is too high and I can't continue to do it." Zhou Wenhai said with a heavy heart:
"Then what should we do? Without this order, can the factory survive? Do we have any other options?" Ye Huilan looked at Zhou Wenhai nervously:
"I have discussed it with Lao Liu, and now we have two directions. The first direction is to make a desperate move and invest in the development of new products. The second direction is to take more small orders and continue to maintain the factory, and continue to find big and profitable orders! Zhou Wenhai put the cigarette butt in the ashtray and put it out with a sullen face, and said in a dry voice:
Hearing this, Ye Huilan's expression changed.
"How much money will be invested in the transformation? If it fails, won't we lose everything? Scattered orders consume energy and make no money. If we go back to small orders, won't the new equipment in the factory be bought in vain?" Ye Huilan looked at it in a dilemma. Looking at Zhou Wenhai, he felt that both directions were unreliable:
Zhou Wenhai smiled bitterly. They had naturally considered what Ye Huilan said. Now that the industry is in recession, it is not that easy to start a business, especially a small electronics manufacturing factory with a contract processing model like his, which is a high-risk industry. It is uncertain when It fell.
For this processing plant, my husband and I worked so hard that they had no time to support their parents or take care of their son Zhou Xing. After a year of busy work, the money they earned could not even reach the monthly price increase of a house, let alone pay for it. Bearing the risk of losing money and going bankrupt, Zhou Wenhai sometimes felt worthless when he thought about it.
Both directions have the possibility of failure. Should we sell the factory? More than ten years of hard work have been wasted... Before the last step, Zhou Wenhai was extremely reluctant to give up.
Zhou Wenhai lit a new cigarette and started smoking one after another. He was thoughtful and silently thinking.
Ye Huilan looked at Zhou Wenhai worriedly, and then fell silent.
Suddenly, the atmosphere at the dinner table became dull.
The dull atmosphere lasted for a while.
Suddenly, "Pap, tap..." The sound of slippers hitting the ground came quickly.
Zhou Wenhai and his wife looked toward the stairs and saw Zhou Xing hurriedly running down the stairs.
As soon as the system's forced learning state was lifted, Zhou Xing couldn't wait to run downstairs.
"Dad, Mom, you haven't eaten yet, are you waiting for me?" Looking at the table full of food with no one using chopsticks, Zhou Xing asked sheepishly:
Zhou Wenhai put out the cigarette in his hand and glared at Zhou Xing fiercely: "You still have the nerve to say it? The college entrance examination is over, is it time to fulfill our agreement now?"
Hearing this, Zhou Xing frowned. After a while, the system's forced learning state will be turned on again. He has no way to fulfill the previous agreement.
Doesn't dad still know his current situation? Zhou Xing blinked at Ye Huilan with a questioning look in his eyes.
"Old Zhou, it's still early, let's wait until Xiaoxing's college entrance examination results come out!" Looking at each other with Zhou Xing, Ye Huilan suppressed a smile and said helpfully:
"Yes, Dad! I will give you a surprise then!" Zhou Xing's eyes lit up and he looked at Zhou Wenhai with joy:
Hearing this, Zhou Wenhai frowned and glanced suspiciously back and forth at the faces of Ye Huilan and Zhou Xing.
