In the evening, Li Manjun put her daughter to sleep and took the textbook to the study room to review.
God knows why time flies by so fast, and there will be final exams in another month.
I'm really lucky that I didn't fail the class before.
However, You Xiang is now in a worse situation than she is. It is not easy for her to be in the class at the Foreign Hotel. Now she is a single mother. She has to be responsible for picking up and dropping off her children every day, helping her daughter with homework, and only has time to read after finishing housework.
In the final exam last semester, because my ex-husband cheated on me with my junior high school student, I failed two subjects, failed the make-up exam, and failed one subject, so I retaken it.
But even so, You Xiang never thought of giving up.
Li Manjun couldn't help her much, he could only ask her to talk to him when she was short of money.
She also suggested that You Xiang bring her mother to the city so that she could help pick up and drop off the children, so that she would be much more relaxed.
But You Xiang is too strong, and he said to Li Manjun: "Don't worry, I will call my mother when I can't hold it anymore."

But in fact, she still persisted alone.
Random thoughts were running through his mind. When Li Manjun came back to his senses, he saw that he had not turned a page of the book.
"Ah... I can't read a single word in this book!" Li Manjun threw the book away, got up and turned on the air conditioner. This day really made people's minds restless.
Turn on the computer, look through Zhao Yong's game board, and find a mindless game to relax.
I opened my mailbox casually and wanted to clear my read emails. There was a beep sound and an email was suddenly sent.
Who is this in the middle of the night?
I clicked on it and saw that the familiar address and name were sent by Xiang Lian.
The two of them chatted about software development and exchanged several emails before, but that was last year.
Thinking of Xiang Lian's haggard appearance this evening, Li Manjun opened the email and checked it. Surprisingly, he was not asking her to talk about software development issues.
There were only a few words in the email: [Li Manjun, I’m so confused.]
Li Manjun glanced at the time, it was ten forty.
Normally at this time, she would have fallen asleep.
And not many friends use email. She doesn't check it once for ten and a half months. Most of the time it's because of work needs. People call her to remind her to read emails before she opens them.
Therefore, if she hadn't turned on her computer at this exact moment, she didn't know when she would see this email.
Isn't this too coincidental?
Li Manjun leaned out, opened the thin screen window a little, and looked at the building opposite. There was still a faint light on a house.
Li Manjun typed a few words: [Are you still awake? What happened recently?]
Click Send.
Two minutes later, Xiang Lian wrote back: [My project can no longer be carried out. Now everyone is working as an agent for foreign computer companies and making a lot of money. All my partners are opposed to me taking the road of self-research and development. Now the company has unanimously approved it.
Agency plan, I don’t know what else to do.】
Research and development requires funds, and it is a long-term and continuous investment, but the results are not quick, ranging from two to three years to ten years, and are full of too many unknowns.
Li Manjun looked at the reply letter in surprise. He didn't expect Xiang Lian Company's original intention to change so quickly.
She still remembered that when she first met Xiang Lian at a chamber of commerce two years ago, he confidently discussed with her that their company should take the road of independent research and development and make a branded computer of our own.
She couldn't help but asked curiously: "Can an agent make a lot of money?"
This time Xiang Lian returned very quickly, and a string of data that outsiders could never imagine was displayed in front of Li Manjun.
Nowadays, the annual income of domestic agents can reach tens of millions.
Moreover, this is the data from the beginning of last year to February this year. Agents are now making more money than before, but the statistics have not yet been calculated.
Compared with self-research and development, this kind of income is simply not too easy. Who wouldn’t be jealous?
Xiang Lian's computer company has several partners. Now, except for him, who is still insisting on self-research and development, the other partners have voted by the board of directors to abandon the self-research and development path and switch to agency.
Xiang Lian sent an email: [I finally managed to get technical support from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Now that the company has decided to abandon self-research and development, the technical support from the Chinese Academy of Sciences will also be withdrawn. Both the president and I feel it is a pity.]
The Chinese Academy of Sciences is here?
Li Manjun's eyebrows skipped a beat, and he realized that this matter was not as simple as he had thought before.
[Can I ask, what is the main direction of your research and development? 】
Xiang Lian:【Chip.】
Li Manjun took a breath, chip, this must be done!
Otherwise, in the not-too-distant future, we will be subject to many restrictions and interferences.
If you use other people's things, you will be controlled by others. If others say they won't give it to you, they won't give it to you. If they say they won't give it to you, they will control you. How can you give up such an important initiative?
Moreover, looking at Xiang Lian's situation, with the technical support of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, this matter should be able to continue to be developed and bear fruit.
However, Xiang Lian's company has the support of the state, and every decision cannot be determined by one person's will.
Li Manjun thought for a while before replying: [Can't we run two lines in parallel? Use the money earned from being an agent to support your own R&D team? 】
After the email was sent, Li Manjun slapped himself on the forehead, which was so naive.
There is an effortless money-making project right in front of you, how many people can resist this temptation?
Moreover, which employee does not need money to support his family in Hukou? Whoever makes money in his pocket and then takes it out and throws it into the bottomless pit of research and development is a fool.
[I'm sorry, I was naive, you just pretended that you didn't see the news.]
Xiang Lian: [It’s okay, I’m very relieved to get your support and attention. I’m sorry to bother you again, good night.]
After the email chat ended, Li Manjun turned off the computer and looked at the dim lights in the building opposite, feeling unspeakably uncomfortable.
In the future, people will feel that it was a pity and wrong decision to give up independent research and development of chips.
But when we are in the present moment, we realize how helpless the current situation is.
A poor word can express endless sadness.
For no reason, Li Manjun opened his notepad and wanted to do some calculations late at night and take stock of his current financial strength.
There are three and a half sets of real estate, one old house in Haishi, two houses in Rongcheng City, and she has half of her parents' welfare house in her hometown of Heather Town.
A set of shops in the bustling center of Haishi.
There is one company, one thousand acres of demolished land, and one sorting yard.
Sherry holds 25% of the shares and Hengda holds 30%.
Currently, I have 4 million in cash on hand and an antique tortoise seal.
In fact, at this level, as long as she doesn't act like a monster, abide by the law and be an honest taxpayer, she will have enough food and clothing in her life.
Li Manjun thought about it all night and fell asleep in the early morning.
When the alarm clock rang in the morning, I opened my eyes with determination, and I already had a decision in my heart.
