Top Student: Experience Infinite Occupations

73 Phone Call

At the Big Data Center Hotel, under Tian Wenming’s lead, the few of them ate a simple meal and returned to their rooms to rest.

Ding Ling had wanted to follow Li Chengqian to his room to chat, but Jian Qingli kept a close eye on her. After realizing that Ding Ling was planning to do so, she found an excuse to bring Ding Ling back to their room.

Li Chengqian was not sleepy at all. He opened his personal interface and took a look at his Stamina Stats. He popped 10 medicinal wolfberries into his mouth. He opened the core program document of the Divine Dragon Operating System on his computer.

“Focus!”

“Rational Thinking!”

“Mental coding!”

He activated the three skills instantly.

His arm that was in contact with the computer twitched uncontrollably. At the same time, codes appeared on the computer at an unbelievable speed.

He had chewed and swallowed all the medicinal wolfberries in his mouth ten minutes later.

Then he stopped, by then he was sweating profusely.

With the medicinal wolfberries as assurance, he didn’t have to worry about wearing himself out physically. However, when he was using the Mental Coding skill, his body goes into spasm and it hurts. If he used the Mental Coding skill for too long, he wouldn’t be able to take the pain.

[Divine Dragon Operating System core completion rate 13.5%!]

“Phew phew…” Li Chengqian panted heavily. “The Mental Coding skill is a good skill, but the side effects are too serious.”

He used the Mental Coding skill twice, for a total of ten minutes, and entered 30,000 lines of code. It was equivalent to a top programmer’s half year workload.

“I have to get this brainwave receiver done! And I have to get it done as soon as possible!” Li Chengqian resolved once again in his heart. Once the brainwave receiver was done, the side effects of using the Mental Coding skill would be gone.

By then, he would be eating wolfberries and entering codes at the same time. He would be able to write 1.8 million lines of code if he worked for ten consecutive hours.

He could produce an operating system core within a day!

Ring, ring, ring… Just then, Li Chengqian’s phone rang. Li Chengqian picked it up and saw that it was Qin Datong calling, so he answered the call.

“Hello, Captain Qin.”

“Li Chengqian, your matter is done. Under Chief Zhao’s strong recommendation, Chief Guo has already decided to purchase the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software. You’ll soon become a multimillionaire!” Qin Datong’s voice was filled with envy.

Li Chengqian could earn 10 million yuan for this order alone. He wouldn’t be able to earn this much money even if he worked his entire life.

Li Chengqian immediately smiled and couldn’t help but thank him. “Thank you, Chief Qin, and thank you to Chief Zhao for his support.”

“After you sign the contract and return to Tianyi City, remember to treat me to a meal.” Qin Datong smiled and got down to business. “The leaders of the provincial office saw the contract we signed with you and thought it was okay.”

“Get prepared. Come to the provincial office tomorrow to sign the contract with Director He. When you come, remember to bring the software authorization code, official seal, and business license,” Qin Datong instructed carefully.

“That’s all it takes to sign the contract? So simple?” Li Chengqian was very surprised. Logically speaking, there should have been tests conducted on the software, many rounds of fee negotiations, and so on until both parties reached a point where everyone was almost satisfied before the contract signing. However, Li Chengqian didn’t have to go through any of these steps.

“Simple? Li Chengqian, it’s actually not simple at all! Think about what I’ve just said. You’re so smart, you should be able to understand,” Qin Datong replied with a smile. On one hand, Li Chengqian’s software was good. On the other hand, Chief Zhao had personally gone to the provincial office to recommend it.

Without Chief Zhao’s personal endorsement, it was impossible for Li Chengqian’s Divine Dragon Data Restoration software to be adopted by the provincial office in a short time.

“Captain Qin, what about the Jingguo Data Restoration software? Didn’t you say you were going to purchase this software?” Li Chengqian deliberately asked. Ever since he arrived at the Big Data Center, He Hongyun and his son had been bragging that their software had been adopted by the provincial office and were just waiting to sign the contract.

“We won’t be purchasing their software this year, we’re purchasing yours.”

“Alright, you still have a competition in the afternoon. I shan’t take up any more of your time.”

“Although I know your standard, and I know for you to participate in this competition is like you coming to bully kindergarten kids I still have to say, go for it!”

“See you tomorrow,” Qin Datong said before hanging up.

“It’s all thanks to Chief Zhao this time.” Li Chengqian hung up the phone and recalled his conversation with Qin Datong. He instantly understood the key. It was Chief Zhao’s recommendation that gave him a chance to enter Director Guo’s field of vision.

Li Chengqian made a mental note of Chief Zhao’s favor. He was super excited and flashed a huge smile like a teenager. “I have 10 million yuan! I lived for decades in my previous life, and I didn’t even manage to earn one million yuan.”

After obtaining the personal interface of the Master of all Professions game, he knew that he would definitely not lack money in the future.

In the future, he would be able to continue earning huge sums of money.

However, when 10 million yuan was really within his reach, he couldn’t help but feel excited.

“No, I can’t be smug! There may still be changes until the contract is signed.” Li Chengqian thought of He Jingguo. He Jingguo had always felt that the provincial office would definitely purchase the Jingguo Data Restoration software, but there was a sudden turn of events at the eleventh hour.

He didn’t want to repeat the same mistake and become the next He Jingguo.

“Focus! Rationally thinking!” Li Chengqian used his skills in order to calm himself down. Then, he picked up a book on the anatomy of the brain and quickly flipped through it.

He finished reading the book in less than five minutes.

When he recovered from the absolute rationality state of his skill, his mood stabilized and his excitement was also contained. Then, he picked up the phone and called Chen Li.

The documents and official seals needed to sign the contract were still at home, so his parents had to come over.

…

Meanwhile, at Li Chengqian’s home, Huang Jingjing was also there, chatting with Chen Li.

“Chen Li, I saw that the two of you haven’t gone out to work the past two days. Were you on leave?” Huang Jingjing asked curiously. Ever since she found out about Li Chengqian’s results, she had been polite to Chen Li and her husband. She also didn’t dare to mock them as easily as before.

“For some reasons, both of us have resigned,” Chen Li said in embarrassment.

“Oh no, your family still has a few thousand yuan of monthly mortgage to pay. If you don’t work and fall back on the mortgage, the house will be repossessed!” Huang Jingjing exclaimed.

“Sigh, we’re also looking for jobs, but it hasn’t been easy to find jobs the past few years.” Chen Li sighed. After Li Chengqian left, she and Li Tianlan went to a few more job interviews, but to no avail.

“That’s right. My husband’s company has also been laying off employees recently. He’s a mid-level manager. Although he won’t be retrenched, I heard from him that his salary will be reduced by a lot. In the past, his annual salary was 1.2 million yuan. After this salary cut, his annual salary is only 800,000 yuan. I don’t know how he’ll live in the future.” Huang Jingjing sighed sadly, but a trace of smugness flashed in her eyes.

“Wow… Your Old Jian’s salary is actually so high. Working for a year is equivalent to ten years of hard work for Old Li and me.” When Chen Li heard this salary, she gasped, her eyes filled with shock and envy. This was the first time she had heard Huang Jingjing talk about salary.

Huang Jingjing was usually decked out in jewelry and branded clothes, so she knew that Huang Jingjing was well to do, but she had never expected their income to be so high.

Seeing the surprise and shock in Chen Li’s eyes, Huang Jingjing was extremely smug. She pretended to be humble and said, “Chen Li, actually, his salary isn’t high. The top leaders of their company make five million yuan a year.”

“Ridiculous, too ridiculous. A year’s salary is equivalent to my entire life’s salary,” Chen Li said enviously.

...

“Sigh, my Old Jian, although we can earn a little money and our family has never lacked money, we’re so busy all year round that we don’t even have time to go home. We don’t spend more than ten days at home a year. To be honest, I’m quite envious of you. Your Old Li is with you all year round,” Huang Jingjing said again.

She was in fact truly envious of Chen Li for having companionship. However, she was also really showing off that her husband made good money and that her family was wealthy.

After saying that, she looked at Chen Li expectantly, waiting to see Chen Li’s surprise and envy, and waiting to hear Chen Li’s praise.

At this moment, Chen Li’s phone rang. When she saw that it was Li Chengqian, she hurriedly picked it up. “Ah, why is Chengqian calling at this time?”
