Xue Xiaofeng repeatedly read the news about Chen Xiao being nominated as a candidate for the Nobel Prize in two categories, with mixed feelings in her heart.
He thought that if he was still working at Changzezhou at Changtian Technology, then he would also have his own contribution to the honor that belonged to Chen Xiao.
In addition, he will face his parents, classmates and teachers very calmly, and will not live like a mouse in a dark underground laboratory like he does now.
Last week, Xue Xiaofeng heard that his father fell ill in the hospital because he was mentally and physically exhausted and was extremely angry about his own affairs.
Xue Xiaofeng was very eager to return to China to visit her parents.
But he knew that he couldn't go back at all, because as soon as the plane landed on the Xia continent, he would be arrested immediately on suspicion of commercial crimes.
Xue Xiaofeng is not legally illiterate. He has reviewed relevant legal documents on commercial crimes in detail.
In this case, he is likely to be sentenced to several years in prison.
How many years of youth can a person have in this life?
He didn't want to spend the best time of his life in prison.
There is no turning back. Xue Xiaofeng is now like a gambler who has lost everything in the casino. His eyes are red and he has put all his wealth on it, just hoping that he can win all his losses in the last round.
return.
On the second day, Xue Xiaofeng and his team once again faced questions from Intel's top management.
This time Intel's CEO didn't have time to talk to a Xia Guo scientific research team, but instead sent Harrison, the head of Intel's technology department.
Harrison hopes to see the research results of Xue Xiaofeng's team.
But it is a pity that Xue Xiaofeng and others once again disappointed Harrison.
Xue Xiaofeng and others have joined Intel for more than half a year without any research results.
Not only has nothing been accomplished in carbon crystal storage and Pangu chips, it can’t even catch up with Intel’s 65-nanometer chip-related technologies.
Xue Xiaofeng's people vowed to tell Harrison, hoping that the other party would give him more time.
Harrison smiled and asked: "How long do you need? When will you be able to give us a relatively mature research result?"
Facing Harrison's question, Xue Xiaofeng looked at each other, unable to come up with a definite time.
Because their entire research process has now fallen into a very terrible dilemma.
Xue Xiaofeng and others were able to confirm that their experimental methods and paths were correct, but they always felt that their experimental process was taking a detour and they were missing a guide, so they were stuck in this circle and could not get out.
Xue Xiaofeng knew that this person who led the way should be Chen Xiao.
But it is a pity that they have no chance to meet Chen Xiao now.
Seeing Xue Xiaofeng and others hemming and hawing, they couldn't come up with any definite answers.
Harrison also sighed deeply, feeling extremely desperate.
This time he came to talk to Xue Xiaofeng for two main purposes.
The first is to see if there are any new breakthroughs in the research results here. If so, Harrison will immediately bring millions of dollars in scientific research funds to Xue Xiaofeng's team to encourage them to continue research and development.
If Harris hadn't also brought a termination contract, it seems that there would be no hope for you to ask Xue Xiaofeng's people to provide their scientific research results.
Harris is quite angry, and he believes that boss Barrett is also quite disappointed.
After all, in order to tap Xue Xiaofeng's team, Barrett went from looking for headhunters to offering high salaries to arranging laboratories, purchasing relevant materials, and asking Intel's original experimental team to cooperate.
The total investment will not be less than 20 million US dollars. This 20 million US dollars is not only a lonely investment, but also delays the time of Intel's elite team.
Harrison will not give Xue Xiaofeng any more opportunities, and Intel will no longer invest in Xue Xiaofeng and others.
He directly put the agreement to terminate the contract on the table and said: "Mr.
Any fees will be paid."
???(*?)???Xue Xiaofeng became anxious when he heard this!
The most fundamental reason why he was able to give up everything and come to the United States was the high salary, the qualifications to immigrate to the United States, and the good education for his children.
Xue Xiaofeng hadn't spoken yet. At this time, his colleague Bai Fan became anxious: "We already have a clue! Why don't you give us a little more time!"
Who knew that Harrison stopped answering questions at all, instead leaving the handling of the problem to his subordinates.
Bai Fan was still making noise and said: "Salaries must be paid! At least give us wages! You promised an annual salary of 1.5 million (Bai Fan's annual salary). Now that we have worked for more than half a year, you must give us at least half a year's salary!"
The other party directly gave a notice to Bai Fan and others, requiring all Xue Xiaofeng's team to leave the laboratory before six o'clock this afternoon.
At this time, the entire team was dumbfounded!
"Brother Xue, what should we do now?" Bai Fan collapsed a little thinking about his future encounters, and his voice was still crying.
"I took my wife and children here, and now I'm still living in a rented house. Our work visa is only one year, and it will expire in a few months. Now we no longer have jobs. What should I do?"
Bai Fan didn't expect the situation to be like this, and based on their current working years, they haven't gotten green cards yet, let alone immigrated.
Xue Xiaofeng was also covered in cold sweat. His wife did not look for a job in the United States because Bai Fan felt that his annual salary of three to four million dollars a year was enough for two people. Their children are currently studying in private schools.
As soon as the income is cut off, the family will soon be in trouble.
Bai Fan cried and said: "Brother Feng, let's go back to China!"
Xue Xiaofeng gritted his teeth and said: "Go back to China? How to go back to China? When you return to China, you will be waiting to go to jail. Pack your things quickly. We have to find another job as soon as possible. We all graduated from prestigious schools and have abundant work energy. As long as we can find
With a new job, we can stay in the United States."
Bai Fan and others said sadly: "Why do we obviously have related technologies for carbon crystal storage and Pangu chips, but every experiment is wrong! What link is missing? If we had known today, we would not have gone abroad.
Got it!"
Bai Fan thought, the Spring Festival will be here soon.
If I were still working at Changtian Technology, I would be able to take my wife and children back to my hometown during the Spring Festival, visit my parents, and have a great time as a family. I would also be envied by everyone when I attend the class reunion during the New Year. I would never have this difficulty today.
But it's too late to say all this.
After Hudson left the residence of Xue Xiaofeng's team, he came to Intel's laboratory.
In the hands of the laboratory are all the results of Xue Xiaofeng's team's research during this period.
Do you want to say that Xue Xiaofeng's team has no results?
There is indeed no result.
Intel's initial goal, whether it is carbon crystal storage or Pangu chips, is to at least get the core content and let the technology serve Intel.
Intel spent a lot of money to almost bring in the entire Changtian Technology chip core team.
Who knows, I felt lonely.
But Intel also has some gains.
At least we have obtained some more data parameters and design principles than those published by Changtian Technology.
If these are considered gains.
Xue Xiaofeng and others who were kicked out continued to submit their resumes, hoping to find a suitable job in the United States.
But what a pity!
In the IT or IC industry, American companies will reject Xue Xiaofeng and others as soon as they see their names.
Because the industry is similar, they know that Xue Xiaofeng and others did not make any achievements at Intel, but were kicked out by Intel. Can recruiting such people bring better performance to the company? It is obviously impossible.
Xue Xiaofeng and others thought about applying for jobs at some technology companies where Xia Guo was stationed in the United States, but the HR staff of many companies quickly backed down as soon as they heard the names of these people.
Including Lenovo.
Everyone is still willing to do business in Xia Kingdom. Xue Xiaofeng's people are completely notorious. If Xue Xiaofeng and others are recruited into the company, they will definitely be boycotted by consumers in Xia Kingdom.
This kind of transaction is extremely uneconomical.
Xue Xiaofeng, who had been looking for a job for several days, returned to the rental house. His wife was busy in the kitchen, and soon a table of dishes was laid out.
There is Xue Xiaofeng’s favorite roast goose with sauce, and a salted chicken.
Seeing this table of dishes, Xue Xiaofeng was stunned: "Where did the money come from?"
During this time, Xue Xiaofeng was looking for a job. Not only did he fail to find one, but he was also defrauded of a lot of money by some Chinese intermediaries. What made Xue Xiaofeng most heartbroken was that the day before yesterday, his former classmates at Shuimu University approached him about opening a technology company as a partnership.
To build the iC industry and fill the gap in the US market, Xue Xiaofeng invested 1 million penknives.
Thinking about it, everyone is a classmate of Shuimu University, and they are all working in the United States. And there is no problem with the plan!
Xue Xiaofeng felt that everyone knew the truth and that he had no job, so he agreed wholeheartedly. However, after sending the money, his classmate disappeared without a trace.
No matter whether I called or asked acquaintances, I couldn't find this person.
This is all Xue Xiaofeng's property.
Xue Xiaofeng never thought that a classmate who graduated from Shuimu University would actually come to the United States and become a liar.
So everyone is living very hard these days, and my son’s piano lessons in the United States have also been suspended.
The wife smiled bitterly and said, "I asked my mother to send some money. Tomorrow is New Year's Day, which is also the New Year. Let's eat better."
Xue Xiaofeng was silent this time. The man's self-esteem was particularly inflated at this moment. He slammed the table heavily and said angrily: "Who asked you to ask your family for money!"
The son, who was nibbling goose legs, fell silent and lowered his head when he saw his parents arguing again.
The wife said with tears in her eyes: "Xiao Feng, let's go back to China! When you were working at Changtian Technology, we were able to buy a house in Suhang City, and we also had our own apartment in Suhang City. We would get it every time we went home during the Chinese New Year.
The envious eyes of the people in the village, everyone said that you have made a fortune. But now think about what kind of life we live, living under someone else's roof and renting this dilapidated house!"
"My English is not good. When I go out to buy groceries, I will be discriminated against and made fun of!"
Although his wife Wang Ping did not have as much academic qualifications as Xue Xiaofeng, she saw the problem very clearly. She said to Xue Xiaofeng: "Xiao Feng, I admit that the United States is indeed a very great country. If we are elites, we can also get very good results in the United States."
Comfortable living conditions and living environment, but with the current state of the two of us, we can't reach such a height, we can't live that kind of life, Xiaofeng, let's go back to China."
Xue Xiaofeng angrily threw the dinner plate on the table to the ground and said: "What are you going to do when you ask me to go back now? Do you want to go back and wait for me to go to jail? Then you can find another man, right? You have already had one
It’s time to leave home, right?”
Before Wang Ping married Xue Xiaofeng, all her classmates were unanimously optimistic about her because Xue Xiaofeng was handsome and highly educated.
But only Wang Ping knew Xue Xiaofeng's shortcomings. This man was just self-indulgent, with a high IQ, low EQ, and extremely strong self-esteem like a man from science and engineering.
However, for a long time in the past, all these shortcomings were covered up by Xue Xiaofeng's high income and perfect job. Now, Xue Xiaofeng has fallen into a low point in life, and all his shortcomings have been exposed.
Wang Ping was completely frightened, and her son was so frightened that he cried loudly. Wang Ping quickly put her son in her arms and hid in the corner shivering.
After Xue Xiaofeng cursed, he rushed out of the door.
Before leaving, he said: "Even if I go to a Chinese restaurant to wash dishes, I will not return to China."
Xue Xiaofeng, who was very conceited, did find a job washing dishes in a Chinese restaurant that night.
There was no other way, because the family was already in trouble, so he had to find a job, and he had to pay every day.
On the night of New Year's Day, at 11 o'clock in the evening, when Xue Xiaofeng left the Chinese restaurant very tired, he was suddenly stopped in an alley by two Chinese.
"Hello, are you Dr. Xue?"
Tonight at the Chinese restaurant, Xue Xiaofeng kept hearing the boss or other people in the restaurant calling him "guy" or calling him by his first name. Suddenly he heard someone calling him Dr. Xue. He was still a little confused. Could it be himself?
The resume I submitted was picked up, so I approached him to talk about a job.
Xue Xiaofeng still straightened his collar out of habit. Although he was not wearing a tie now, it was just a shabby work clothes.
"Hello, this is me."
"Dr. Xue, please get in the car with us. We have something very important to talk to you about."
Xue Xiaofeng was a little confused and asked casually: "Are you talking about work?"
"You'll know when you get in the car."
Although Xue Xiaofeng didn't know why the other party was looking for him, he was quite confident about getting a stable scientific research job, so he followed the two Chinese people into a commercial vehicle.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he got into the car, a linen bag was suddenly put on his head.
What followed was a flurry of punches and kicks.
"Ah! What are you doing? This is kidnapping, this is a crime."
Xue Xiaofeng's screams did not receive any response. Xue Xiaofeng just felt that his hand should be broken, many wounds were still bleeding, and his mouth and nose were filled with the smell of blood.
Soon the car stopped and he was kicked out of the car.
This is the most dangerous place in the City of Angels - the Art District.
The Art District late at night is a world of thieves, drug addicts and prostitutes. A group of black people saw Xue Xiaofeng and swarmed up to him, frantically stripping off his clothes and removing all his mobile phones, wallets and ID cards...
Los Angeles is beautiful during the New Year...
"Happy New Year!" Chang Zezhou, Chen Xiao, Shen Wei, Gao Miao, Wang Xiang, Qu Ping, Wen Qi and others celebrated the New Year together.
Shen Wei made up her mind this time to visit Changzezhou.
Qu Ping clapped her hands and said, "I have a gift for everyone!"
