After seeing off Xie Houming and his family, Xu Lan didn't care about the shock Zhao Pingchuan had seen and heard. She had to go home to clean up the dishes on the table. Cheng Feiyang helped her to clean them up, wiped his hands, and returned to the living room to face Cheng Ran.
Seeing Cheng Feiyang's hesitant gaze, Cheng Ran pretended to be attracted by the TV... It is said that the closest people can tell something about you from the way you walk, talk, and behave, even if they have changed their appearance.
In the minds of Cheng Feiyang and Xu Lan, Cheng Ran was just an ordinary middle school student who wanted to play all day and was heartless. Even though he bravely helped solve the June 2nd case on the eve of the high school entrance examination, with the protection of his uncle Cheng Bin, Cheng Feiyang and Xu Lan did not know the details. At most, they could say that Cheng Ran was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. When parents face their children doing something beyond their expectations, they will probably just say "the child has grown up" to conclude.
But Cheng Ran's rapid improvement in the high school entrance exam score, some details that Xie Houming showed after his visit that were beyond their imagination... and even Cheng Ran's proper response. It simply made Cheng Feiyang and Xu Lan stunned. There was even a feeling of... unfamiliarity.
Cheng Ran was even ready to answer Cheng Feiyang's next possible questions, such as the details between him and Cheng Feiyang, when was the first time he drowned and was rescued by Cheng Feiyang, why he had stitches for the first time, etc.
Cheng Feiyang sat down and just said, "Cheng Ran... Dad has been busy with work in the past one or two years and may have neglected to take care of your study and life... Don't blame Dad..."
What's with this sudden seriousness
It seems that Cheng Feiyang took to heart what Xie Houming said before, which is that parents all over the world are easily "blinded by the situation". They seem to know their children very well, but one day the words and actions of their children suddenly surprise you and make you realize the generation gap between you and your children.
Cheng Ran's performance during this period has surprised him time and time again. In terms of bravely fighting against criminals, Cheng Ran is kind and brave. In terms of outstanding performance in the high school entrance examination, it is obvious to all that Cheng Ran has made efforts and the rewards he deserves.
Therefore, Cheng Feiyang and Xu Lan did not think that there was anything wrong with Cheng Ran. If there was a problem, it was their problem. They did not realize that Cheng Ran had suddenly become sensible and mature. In other words, suddenly discovering that their child had surprising behavior was already a sign of incompetence as a parent.
In the compound, among the children of friends and Cheng Ran's classmates since childhood, they have seen many children who have gone astray due to family reasons and lack of discipline from their parents. Some children's parents don't care about them, or they are too restrained, and they become old-fashioned, muddling through every day, giving up on themselves, hanging around the streets, or just going to a bad school, skipping classes all day, fighting, and making a mess... But Cheng Ran didn't do that. When the two of them didn't discipline him, he was not only sensible, but also used his willpower to change the trajectory of his life.
Cheng Feiyang and Xu Lan felt guilty and sad, but also fortunate and relieved.
"Dad has been thinking about it recently, and feels that I may still... put the cart before the horse." Cheng Feiyang paused, "My career is important, of course. However, it is not as important as your future... Look at you, you have proved your talent and intelligence with practical actions... Dad is thinking, otherwise, I'd better quit this job and not fight for anything in the company. I can just go out and get a job when I grow up, and we can plan it carefully. Can we strive to make a sprint in high school and help you go to a good university?"
"I… !"
Cheng Ran immediately had the urge to vomit blood. When he failed the entrance exam, his father chose to buy out his years of service and retired in order to pay for the school selection fee. How come he wanted to retire and fully support him to go to college now that he was able to pass the entrance exam to No. 1 Middle School
My own desire for a better life and my longing to stir up the times!
Although it is heartbreaking for you to give up your career dream for me, it is totally unnecessary, okay…
"Dad, this isn't appropriate. Look how enthusiastic Uncle Xie is... Besides, isn't this an opportunity? If Huagu Company invests in you, you can completely build a team, and the technology you have at hand will have a place to be used. Isn't this what you have been hoping for for many years?"
"It's hard to say..." Cheng Feiyang shook his head, "Other people's help may be because you saved someone, but that doesn't mean I can accept it with peace of mind... What can I do if they inject capital into me? Without the company, do we have orders? Do we have customers? Yes, maybe we can make Fulong take shape, but what about the risk of failure? Most of the current market has been divided up by well-known companies and equipment. Where can we open up new markets? Lao Xie helped me so much and trusted me, but I can't make a name for myself... Besides, how can I explain to those who follow me?"
Cheng Ran understood that his father was worried about failure because he could not see the future in the fierce market and let the subordinates who followed him sink with him.
After thinking for a while, Cheng Ran said, "Dad... you said that the markets in big cities and second- and third-tier cities have been divided up... But I think we might as well upgrade our thinking... The market in front of us may be a red ocean, but in fact, as long as we change our thinking, it may be a blue ocean."
"What do you know..." Cheng Feiyang frowned subconsciously and said, "Red Sea and Blue Sea, is it the same as your car repair? Is it also something you learned on the Internet?"
"Yes." Cheng Ran said, "Hope and the market... have always been in this city. The first battle for the company's independence can actually be fought in Shanhai City. You can... occupy this place."
"What do you mean?"
"Dad, let me ask you, what is the switch used by the local telecommunications bureau in Shanhai City?"
"Shanhai City is at level C3 of the five-level telecommunications network structure, and uses a brand of switches that RB supported at the time, called Zongheng."
"We have changed several leaders of the telecommunications department in Shanhai City, but the quality of telecommunications calls has not improved. What's going on? In essence, it's still a problem with the equipment. If we replace your local switch, will there be any price advantage?"
Cheng Feiyang was stunned, and then his eyes became brighter and brighter. "The bureau switches used by Shanhai Telecom were installed for free by RB Company in order to occupy the market... I thought I got a bargain when I used it, but it often broke down and was extremely difficult to repair. All the replacement parts had to be imported from RB. The high price was secondary, and the key was instability. Therefore, problems occurred in the telecommunications department every year, and bureau directors fell one after another... If we use ours, there may be an initial installation fee for the equipment, but the telecommunications bureau director will definitely be able to rest easy afterwards... What do you mean!?"
Cheng Ran grinned, "That's it. The Telecommunications Bureau has so much money, so we should try to get the moon first while we are close to the water."
A clear situation opened up before Cheng Feiyang's eyes.
The more Cheng Feiyang thought about it, the more enlightenment he gained.
After a moment, he reacted and looked at Cheng Ran, "You kid... what on earth are you thinking about all day long? I think you can do business!"
"No, no," Cheng Ran waved his hand and smiled, "I'd better leave this laborious task to you, Dad... I'd better enjoy the life in front of me."
"Don't think about enjoying yourself when you are young... Your current task is to study hard!"
