It has been nearly a month since he started his new high school life, but his impression of Rongcheng No. 10 Middle School is not profound yet. In fact, except that the school is prettier and there are more things to do, it seems not much different from Shanhai No. 1 Middle School.
The only thing is, there will no longer be Yu Xiao who would knock on the door and ask her to catch the bus in the morning, nor will there be Yao Beibei who bumped into a poisonous snake when passing by the flower bed in the Shanhai courtyard, Yang Xia in simple white clothes, and Liu Ying who will always be the party organizer and lover of excitement... The life in Shanhai is gone, but the hustle and bustle seems like yesterday.
We always have to say goodbye to a certain stage in life, and we will often meet again at some point in the future. However, some reunions are grand and heartbreaking, while others are mediocre.
For example, for classmates who once worked together day and night, the last greeting was a wedding invitation, and then there was no news after the banquet.
For example, brothers and sisters who used to sleep on the upper and lower bunks arm in arm, many years later may just exchange a brief nod when they meet on the street, and then be drowned in their own turbulent world.
For example, those men and women who hugged each other and cried bitterly at graduation, may one day squeeze out of the subway with a backpack on their backs, and look longingly at the girl in the car who is dressed up exquisitely, but things and people have changed.
Not all reunions have the best endings. Cheng Ran, who tied his friends to the big ship of Fulong, is particularly looking forward to the future where they can meet again.
The most amazing thing was what happened after arriving at No. 10 Middle School. When Cheng Ran said to Jiang Hongshao, "You go first and I will follow," he basically had the strong confidence and potential energy of a reborn person. However, he did not expect that Jiang Hongshao would actually outwit him and even bring him into the same class.
Cheng Ran felt that if there were gods like the Power of Time and Space in the world, he would definitely be branded as a shameful person who was reborn.
Does he like Jiang Hongshao? A middle-aged uncle's soul turned around and said he liked a little girl. In Cheng Ran's subconscious, there was always an inexplicable weirdness and bad taste.
In his previous life, he always felt that life wanted to be more brilliant and exciting. He climbed one peak after another, but never stopped. Although he was not a promiscuous person, the women around him kept changing, but he never stopped for anyone. Sometimes, Cheng Ran felt that he was like the man who climbed the heights, always moving forward tirelessly, no matter whether it was the spring fields with lush grass and flying warblers, the sunrise in the scorching sun, the mountains covered with autumn leaves, or the snowy days with dancing silver snakes on the mountains, he never stopped for any place. Although he had been moved, his soul was never shaken.
He never found the reason until he returned to the beginning of his life. Then he realized that human beings are actually creatures living in the past. Every achievement and paranoia in your future comes from the suffering and scars you have suffered in the past.
So he climbed over thousands of mountains, but he still could not reach the height of the loquat tree that year.
He had seen many women, but none could compare to the smile she had back then.
…
So does he like Lao Jiang? The answer is yes. Even in his later life, he never realized that the figure he saw at that time had already built a city in the clouds. No matter how high he climbed and reached the top of the mountain, he could never get over the distant cloud in his subconscious. No matter how hard he tried, he could not get through the clouds and see the light.
The years pass by bleakly, and no white horse is seen coming.
Retracing this journey, although it was only a short stay, Cheng Ran's answer actually emerged after parting the heavy fog of life.
But some things nowadays are so precious that they are no longer beautiful if they are touched. If we can appreciate, praise, and walk side by side, it is actually quite good to walk this journey of life together.
Life is short, but time is long. Finding someone to walk with is the luckiest thing in the world.
…
At the end of September, the National Day holiday in October arrived. The No. 10 Middle School team was recommended to participate in the national competition with the first place in the provincial science and technology innovation competition.
Last year's National Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition was held in Xining, Qinghai, and this year it will be held in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China. The team from No. 10 Middle School will compete with teams from more than 30 provinces and cities across the country, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and teams from 11 countries including Japan, Russia, Australia and Thailand.
The winning high school teams and individuals will be qualified for admission to 985 universities including Tsinghua University and Peking University, or receive "reduced score admission agreements" from these schools, which is indeed the envy of ordinary students.
When the team set out, flash lights kept flashing on the playground. There were many onlookers in a crescent shape behind them. Jiang Hongshao, wearing a school uniform, was stunningly beautiful in the morning light. Before getting on the car to the airport, she made a pistol gesture to Cheng Ran through the glass window.
It seems to mean that Cheng Ran was "eliminated by the representative of the moon."
Cheng Ran raised his hand to cover his forehead, and Jiang Hongshao smiled softly. The night before leaving, the two of them talked on the phone. Cheng Ran asked her to remember various things, but she said she had already made a list, which was very fussy.
Watching the bus leave the school, Cheng Ran felt completely suppressed by Lao Jiang's aura. This was not okay...
Lao Jiang is doing very well in Hong Kong, but for Cheng Ran, the National Day holiday seems to be a bit boring.
Forget about going out to play. Cheng Feiyang is very busy. Holidays are the best maintenance period for Fulong equipment of client units. Engineers have to put out fires everywhere, and Cheng Feiyang has to take charge of the overall situation. The battle in Chengdu is still going on. The Lei Wei gang that made a big fuss some time ago is just one of the pressures. Because it has touched the inherent interest system, Cheng Feiyang has to withstand the pressure from all sides. Fulong is also operating various commercial countermeasures.
Cheng Qi came to see him that day, driving a Citroen Fukang, which was very cool. He took Cheng Ran for a ride and said that he would expand Three Kingdoms Kill to 100 cities by the end of this year.
Cheng Qi is now very ambitious and has become a god-like senior in the normal school. College students' entrepreneurship is a feat in any era. It is especially difficult at this time without policy support. Every successful person is regarded as a representative of wisdom and persistence by others, and the honor is particularly high.
So when Cheng Qi was ambitious about expanding, Cheng Ran understood him at this moment, but he still couldn't help but pour cold water on him, "Cut it off. We need to do our work in detail. We can invest more in agents in cities with developed economic zones, but we can even give up on relatively isolated cities. The best-selling product now is the cheapest simplified version. If we increase the cost, the diluted profits will not be able to support this expansion, and it is likely to lead to our collapse in turn."
Cheng Qi frowned, "But piracy is rampant in many places. The money we don't make will be taken away by pirates."
"We can't make all the money, and judging from the current domestic situation, there is no soil that supports the large-scale expansion of Three Kingdoms. We can only make it popular... Brother, you need to change your mindset. Tabletop games are a seemingly small industry, but in fact they are very creative. There are many great ideas in it, and these ideas may become the cornerstones of other things. We need to build the economic zone map and invest in agents in a targeted manner. It is enough for us to occupy those markets, expand our influence, do it well, make the money we can make now, and then take the next step... How is the Lianzhong platform you are doing?"
"The platform has been built. It can already realize online battle functions such as Go, Mahjong, Bridge, Landmine Hunting, Landlord, Texas Hold'em, etc. It is expected to be online in the middle of the month. I spent another 200,000 to buy 15 servers, which should be enough... I don't know if there are many registered users. At present, advertisements have been printed on the new Three Kingdoms Killing, and the advertising details are also being finalized with Computer News and some related media."
"By the way, it would be nice if we could realize online battles in Three Kingdoms Kill."
Cheng Ran said, "It's not time yet... Let's practice with these first."
Cheng Qi nodded, "Yes, after all, the technology is still not up to par... Let's do some simple things first. We will recruit some programmers with relevant majors in the university town. I hope this shortcoming can be made up as soon as possible..."
Squeak! The car stopped outside Fulong in Rongcheng. Cheng Ran pointed at the gate and said, "Aren't you going to eat?"
Cheng Qi smiled and said, "Second Mom always asks questions. Well, my mom doesn't know the details of my situation in Chengdu, so don't let them worry too much. I have something else to do in the studio, so I'm leaving now. I'll contact you by phone."
Watching Cheng Qi's car driving away in the dust, Cheng Ran couldn't help but think of Lianzhong in another world. This was a game company whose founder had to register three IDs and play against one player to retain users. He would never have thought that just five years later, they would become the world's largest online game entertainment website, with 80 million registered users and more than one million members.
Can I reproduce this trajectory in this world? It may be difficult, but I can integrate his ideas and find another unique path.
Anyway, brothers are still the ones who fight tigers. Whether this road succeeds or fails, it will be a whetstone for Cheng Qi, which is enough to benefit him a lot. He can even be promoted to a first-class master or a big boss who can easily turn the tide. Just thinking about it is something that makes his blood boil.
This is yesterday’s update, there is more today.
