Top Student: Experience Infinite Occupations - Chapter 81
81 Pitiful
After He Jingguo got hold of the contract, he flipped to the signature page, which was the last page. When he realized that it had been signed and stamped, his face fell. “It’s already signed. It’s actually signed. There’s no chance anymore.”
He felt that there was still some hope if the contract hadn’t been signed. Now that the contract had been signed, his last hope was dashed.
Looking at Li Chengqian walking over quickly, He Jingguo acted as if he didn’t see him. He quickly flipped through the contract to the price page.
When he saw the amount of 10.8 million yuan on the contract, he immediately “understood” and gritted his teeth. “I see! I lost because of the price.”
!!
“The people from the provincial office are short-sighted and only considered the price of the software. Purchasing this unheard-of Divine Dragon Data Restoration software is simply a waste of the taxpayer’s money. This is negligence!” He Jingguo muttered to himself bitterly.
“Dr. He, please give the contract back to me.” Li Chengqian came in front of He Jingguo and extended his hand.
“He Jingguo, what were you doing just now? Quickly give the contract back to Li Chengqian.” At this moment, Tian Wenming finally reacted. He was displeased as He Jingguo’s actions just now were as good as robbery!
“Li Chengqian, right? You’ve snatched the 20 million that should have been mine, you’re really something aren’t you!” When He Jingguo saw Li Chengqian, his eyes were red, and his voice was filled with resentment, as if he had seen his nemesis.
If not for Li Chengqian, the 20 million yuan from the provincial office would already be his.
It was Li Chengqian who snatched his 20 million yuan.
It was also because of Li Chengqian that he was now burdened with a huge loan that he couldn’t repay.
And the villa that was planned would now forever stay a plan.
Li Chengqian caused all these.
Li Chengqian looked at He Jingguo calmly, his hand outstretched in front of He Jingguo.
“He Jingguo, give the contract back to Li Chengqian!” Tian Wenming couldn’t stand it anymore. He walked to He Jingguo’s side and tried to pull the contract out of his hands.
“Li Chengqian, fine, well done!” He Jingguo’s voice was filled with extreme resentment. He ignored everyone after letting go of the contract.
He waved at the crestfallen He Hongyun and said in a hoarse voice, “Son, let’s go home.”
He Hongyun lowered his head and walked over dejectedly.
There was no longer any arrogance or sense of superiority.
The two of them were two figures of defeat and despondence.
“They look quite pitiful now,” Jian Qingli sighed.
“He Hongyun is as pitiful now as he was arrogant before. He asked for it!” Zhao Peng added.
“Teacher Tian, He Hongyun has left. What are we going to do for the rest of the competition?” Bi Jialiang watched as He Hongyun walked away despondently. He felt extremely conflicted, and then this shocking thought came to his mind.
The top 20 teams in the provincial competition were qualified to participate in the semi-finals.
When Jian Qingli heard this, she became nervous. Although He Hongyun’s character was not good, his standards were not bad. If He Hongyun withdrew from the competition, it would affect their team very badly.
“You don’t have to worry about this. In the past, I was worried that He Hongyun wouldn’t focus on the competition. Now, I’m not worried about this anymore.” In the past, He Hongyun had 20 million as his reason for being indifferent and arrogant, this reason didn’t exist anymore.
He Hongyun had nothing now!
Tian Wenming felt that He Hongyun would work even harder.
As He Hongyun had said, ordinary people had to make themselves outstanding before they were qualified to compete for a job worth 200,000 yuan a year.
“Give them some time to calm down. I’ll call He Hongyun in two days.”
Tian Wenming gathered everyone at the Big Data Center after he finished speaking. After the results were announced, there were still matters to handle, such as obtaining the certificates, filling in the forms for the semi-finals, and so on.
…
After entering the Big Data Center, before he reached the certification collection area, Li Chengqian was led by Chen Lili, the person-in-charge of the competition committee, to an office in the Big Data Center. At the office, Wang Dalin, director of the Jinshan Province State Secrets Protection Bureau, introduced himself briefly before handing a document to Li Chengqian. All this while, Li Chengqian was still trying to figure out what was going on.
Li Chengqian flipped through the document and realized that it was a notification that the space station operating system that he had developed in the competition had been classified as top-secret information.
There was also a software copyright certificate for the space station operating system.
“Li Chengqian, the space station operating system you developed has been determined by Professor Lin Xiong of the Academy of Space Technology to be an important software. It is of high international standing and represents a scientific and technological innovation that is of great importance to the country’s economy and defense. In accordance with the provisions of article 8, paragraph 1 of the Scientific and Technological Confidentiality Regulations, the space station operating system is classified as top secret.”
“According to the provisions of the Confidentiality Regulations, except where there is express written consent from the State Secrets Bureau or a relevant government authority, it is forbidden to upload the source code of the space station operating system on the Internet, or to disclose the source code in any other manner,” Wang Dalin said solemnly.
Li Chengqian was a little stunned because this was the first time he had heard of this rule.
“Of course, the country won’t let you suffer losses in vain. First of all, the country will give a one-time reward of one million yuan, this is for any scientific and technological innovation that has been classified as top secret.”
“Secondly, it is only the source code that has been classified under confidentiality management. As long as you don’t leak the source code, it’s fine.” Seeing Li Chengqian’s confused expression, Wang Dalin continued to explain, “Just like Dongjiu, the formula is a national secret, but the wine brewed using this formula is not.”
“Oh, I get it now!” Li Chengqian had a look of sudden comprehension. This was the same as the Windows system. The source code of Windows was top secret. Ordinary people would definitely not be able to obtain it. However, the Windows system was not a secret because no one could obtain its source code by reverse-engineering.
The logic was the same as the space station operating system he had developed.
“However, there are restrictions. If you rely on the Li Chengqian space station operating system to develop software, you have to apply for approval from our Bureau. You can only commercialize it after the experts review that there’s no risk of the source code being leaked.” Wang Dalin was worried that Li Chengqian would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained.
“I understand! Director Wang, don’t worry. Unless the country needs it, the source code will definitely not be leaked. If the country needs it, you can use this source code at will.” Li Chengqian nodded and replied solemnly.
In fact, besides the country, no private individual or company could use a foundation software like the space station operating system.
This was because even a powerful country would need to spend a lot of effort to build a high-tech thing like a space station. Maintaining a space station also required an astronomical amount of funding. Small countries could not afford it at all, and they didn’t have the ability to build it in the first place.
There were currently only two space stations flying in the sky.
Therefore, although the source code of the space station was very advanced, Li Chengqian had no platform to use it even if he wanted to commercialize it.
He had already benefited greatly from the country’s reward of one million yuan.
“Director Wang, actually, I’ve also developed a few softwares. The functions are not bad. Why don’t you take a look and see if you want to classify it as confidentiality?” Suddenly, Li Chengqian thought of the Divine Dragon Optimization App and the Divine Dragon Data Restoration software. He got tempted and so he just mentioned it.
“Alright, prepare the software function description. I’ll get the relevant experts to review them.” Wang Dalin looked at Li Chengqian in surprise and agreed.
