19: Chapter 19 When the time comes, let's arrange three days first.

Hangzhou City No. 6 High School.

With the college entrance examination approaching, the atmosphere in the senior year was becoming increasingly tense, and the students in the classrooms were racing against time.

Zhou Fan appeared in the teacher's office. It wasn't that he wanted to come, but rather that he had been called there again by his homeroom teacher, Lin Xueqin.

Standing there, he couldn't help but feel a tinge of awkwardness in his heart.

"Zhou Fan, it's the last week... You should at least try to get into a second-tier university. You leave right on time every day and don't even attend the evening self-study sessions..."

"Teacher Lin, I really have things to do!"

"What could be more important than the college entrance examination?"

"Starting a business..."

"You're a student who hasn't even graduated from high school, what kind of business are you starting? What are your parents thinking, letting you mess around like this!"

"My parents are very supportive of me, and we are a legitimate company..."

"Supportive? Is this what a legitimate company does? You know how important the college entrance examination is..." Lin Xueqin considered herself to have a good temper, but now she felt a sense of frustration at his failure to meet expectations.

Zhou Fan fell silent. He had actually foreseen that such a day would come, but now that Fanmi had been founded, there was no turning back.

He could only bite the bullet, endure it silently, and humbly accept the criticism.

"I've said everything I need to say, you... take care of yourself!" Lin Xueqin sighed. Looking at the boy who appeared to be humbly accepting the criticism, she only felt a headache and waved her hand powerlessly.

Humbly accepting, but refusing to change his ways.

With the college entrance examination so close, she had no way to make Zhou Fan go home and reflect properly.

"Then I'll be going first." Zhou Fan breathed a sigh of relief, not giving Lin Xueqin any time to react, and left quickly.

Lin Xueqin's expression was somewhat helpless; it was obviously the same as before: humbly accepting, but refusing to change his ways.

"Was that the student in your class whose parents previously asked for leave using a circumcision surgery as an excuse?"

"Don't mention it, I'm worried to death. These parents are really unreliable..." Lin Xueqin shook her head helplessly.

"Sigh, he looks quite well-behaved, what a pity! By the way, are you confident about your class's first-tier university admission goal?"

"It depends on luck..." Lin Xueqin gave a bitter smile.

"Maybe this Zhou Fan can give you an unexpected surprise."

"Don't joke... It would be good enough if he doesn't hold the class back..."

"..."

Lin Xueqin had no mood to listen to the other person's teasing. She waved her hand powerlessly and sat in her chair, rubbing her temples, feeling a headache.

School gate.

Zhou Fan mingled with the first and second-year students, trying hard to minimize his presence. Now, he would dodge whenever he could.

Just as he walked out of the school gate, a warm voice suddenly came from behind, making him turn around to look.

"Brother Fan!"

"Why aren't you attending evening self-study either?" Zhou Fan looked at Wu Chen with some surprise.

"What's the point of evening self-study? Anyway, there's no chance for a first-tier university, and I'll just scrape by for a second-tier one. I talked to my dad yesterday, and I'm planning to start a business after the college entrance examination!"

Mentioning entrepreneurship, Wu Chen's eyes lit up instantly. Before Zhou Fan could speak, he quickly said:

"I've already thought of the project. I'll just make a mobile reading app. With the rise of the mobile internet, this is definitely a blue ocean, and there's absolutely an opportunity!"

"Did Uncle Wu agree?" Zhou Fan nodded noncommittally.

"Yeah."

"Yeah?" Zhou Fan was a bit surprised.

"He didn't object!" Seeing that he couldn't get around it, Wu Chen couldn't help but speak again.

"And then you assume he agreed?"

"He already beat me up, what else do you want!"

"..."

Zhou Fan shook his head silently. It was a good thing Uncle Wu hadn't lost his mind; this kid was really capable of making trouble!

"Brother, take me to Fanmi to learn from Lei Jun!"

"No time..."

"Old Zhou... you've changed..."

"I've changed, but I'm still busy. I'm really busy these past two days."

Fanmi Technology.

Two figures were like statues of a waiting wife, gazing at the end of the cement road in the distance, waiting expectantly.

"School has been out for half an hour, right? Why hasn't he come yet..."

"After all, the college entrance examination is coming up, and school has evening self-study every day. Engineer Zhou has been trying his best to accommodate us..."

"I'm not just saying this... with Engineer Zhou's ability, why bother taking the exam... shouldn't he be directly recommended for admission?"

"He seems to be quite low-key at school..."

Lei Jun and Lin Wenwu were exchanging thoughts, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"As expected, geniuses all have some eccentricities!" Lin Wenwu nodded in understanding.

Now that the system is being developed, there are too many problems with the new system to solve. Plus, since he just took over, there are many things he is not very clear about, and Zhou Fan must be the one to solve them.

During this time, Zhou Fan could only come at night. He really had no choice but to wait here every day, hoping for his arrival.

In fact, it wasn't just their software engineering department; everyone in every project team at Fanmi Technology was looking forward to the arrival of summer vacation.

Although the vacation had nothing to do with them, only after the college entrance examination ended could Zhou Fan be completely liberated from school and focus his energy here.

"We just have to overcome this for now..." Lei Jun sighed, feeling somewhat helpless in his heart. Because of the lack of manpower, he was now helping with multiple projects, but without Zhou Fan, many projects were progressing very slowly.

At this moment, a hurried set of footsteps approached.

"General Manager Lei, has Engineer Zhou arrived?" Zhou Guangming walked with hurried steps; he had been busy with things just now and almost forgot to come down.

The hardware had initially gotten on track, but the subsequent test results and improvements for the Fast Charging Technology, as well as the upgrades and refinements of other accessories, had not yet been completed. There were too many difficult problems.

"Old Zhou, why are you here again?" Lin Wenwu couldn't help but frown.

"That's going too far!" Zhou Guangming immediately widened his eyes and said angrily: "Engineer Zhou spent the whole night in your department yesterday, today it's our hardware R&D department's turn!! For many hardware components, we can't continue without Engineer Zhou! Some confirmed small suppliers are waiting for our technical support to start production. If this drags on, it will delay the production of the accessories."

"If we don't get the system done, what's the use of your accessories being produced? Besides, there are many problems in the early stages of the system project!!"

Lin Wenwu did not back down at all. If it were a custom system based on android, he could handle it himself, but now he was working on a self-developed system...

During this time, he had tried his best to understand the ideas and design of the new system, but specifically, Zhou Fan definitely had to go over it. Otherwise, if problems arose, it would be even more troublesome to fix.

"Alright, you two, your combined age is almost a hundred years old..." Lei Jun rubbed his temples with a headache, paused slightly, and said: "It's only a week until the college entrance examination. Bear with it a little longer. By then, we'll arrange three days for each side first..."

"Fine."

Zhou Guangming and Lin Wenwu stopped talking and looked at the end of the cement road.

Silence spread.

Ten minutes later, finally... two figures wearing high school uniforms appeared.

"They're here, Engineer Zhou is here! Xiao Zhang, hurry up and bring over the problem documentation we organized, get ready for the meeting!!! Xiao Wu, turn on the conference room computer and open the port..."

"Old Zhou, what do you mean by coming downstairs? You're not following the rules, are you!!!"

"..."
