Chapter 6, it is actually cancer

Riding the same elevator with the leader is not a good choice. If possible, she would prefer to take another elevator, but at this moment, she finds herself in a difficult situation.

Tang Mi tilted her head to look at him: "More outstanding than you?"

Oh, in just three seconds, Tang Mi realized that there was a situation worse than sharing an elevator with the leader, which was going to the cafeteria to eat together

Then, she saw that Huang Mingming had successfully resolved the data that she needed half an hour to process in just ten minutes. She had thought that she would not be able to sleep tonight, but unexpectedly, she could still take a nap.

One could say that based solely on her individual performance, she might deserve a rating of "acceptable"; however, when compared to other interns, the gap is quite evident. There is a saying that beyond the mountains, there are more mountains, and beyond people, there are more people

The big boss beside was ignored until now, so he averted his gaze and glanced at Li Junzi

Tang Mi is not completely ignorant of programming. During her sophomore year, she took an elective course in C language based on the advice of her seniors, but she certainly did not devote as much attention to the elective as she did to her major subjects, and her level of focus was considerably lower. After witnessing the remarkable efficiency of programming in the field of financial statistics, she couldn't help but feel a sense of longing. Following Huang Mingming's suggestion, she purchased several reference books and began to study.

Tang Mi's primary responsibility is to prepare reports based on the requirements of the leadership. There are various types of reports, such as valuing the company based on projected future earnings, conducting credit analysis based on the company's asset status, and analyzing industry data. In summary, the work primarily involves building models based on data to find solutions. Thanks to the solid foundation and strong mathematical skills developed over three years in university, he is able to manage these tasks.

She walked into the elevator and stood in the corner

It was not until a full minute later that she had the strength to ask, "How is the situation?"

The software author is Huang Mingming, and the download count has already exceeded one million, with a rating of over 8 points

Mr. Li smiled with his eyes and brows curved: "Is it really that good? But she is an undergraduate."

Tang Mi raised her confused gaze and, in the next moment, became alert. The person speaking was Huang Mingming. She stood by the aisle with a backpack slung over her shoulders, nervously gripping the straps of her bag as she looked at her. The weather was very hot, and the harsh white light of the fluorescent lamp was glaring. She noticed the thin beads of sweat on Huang Mingming's forehead

Lymphoma

Chen Zijia returned her a smile

Mr. Li smiled and said, "Ah, let us also go to the cafeteria together."

He spoke these words in a tone of pity, feeling astonished that, after three years of divorce, his aunt still did not understand the reasons for her failed marriage

Yes

Tang Mi mobilized all of her emotional intelligence and intellect to greet her leader

Tang Mi has already opened the webpage and is preparing to purchase train tickets online

With her academic performance, securing a recommendation for graduate studies is absolutely not a problem, and the scholarship is sufficient to cover both tuition and living expenses. However, pursuing a master's degree means delaying graduation by two years, which is not in line with her previous expectation of "graduating from university and starting to earn money".

Yes

Hello, General Manager Chen

It is cancer

Tang Mi explained to him: "She said she could teach me programming. Do you think that's not possible?"

She worked even harder, taking her notebook to the study room at night to continue her struggle with the report—her roommate Han Yulu liked to chat with her boyfriend, and the noise she created was somewhat loud—so she, just like before the holiday, had to work hard every night until eleven o'clock before returning to the dormitory. The other people in the dormitory, such as Zhao Xingdan, were also interning and found it quite tough, but none of them had to study until lights out during the summer vacation like she did.

After the training week, the main tasks that interns frequently engage in involve assisting their mentors, such as helping to prepare analysis reports and similar activities

She recalled that some of the senior analysts among her colleagues had studied computer-related majors in their undergraduate years, no wonder they seemed to be divinely inspired when conducting analyses

I was just joking with you, no need to be nervous. President Chen and I are going out for dinner." Li Junzi looked at Tang Mi's expression, which changed several times without much fluctuation, and wanted to laugh heartily, but considering the presence of the leader, he ultimately held it back

Li Zhixing smiled gently and said, "Let us step aside a bit"

"At that time, I truly fell in love with him at first sight," Li Ruqin sighed softly, "In my entire life, I have never seen such a handsome man again"

Aunt, Grandma didn't answer the phone, could you please go over and check on her?

She now fully understands the reason why large companies like Guotou generally have high educational requirements, as this job demands a high level of comprehensive ability from employees. It is truly difficult for an ordinary undergraduate to simultaneously possess strong English skills, excellent mathematical abilities, extensive financial knowledge, and programming skills; many individuals do not even possess one of these abilities.

However, even if one starts learning C language now, it is somewhat late; how long must a novice practice to achieve independent walking? Distant water cannot quench immediate thirst, unless she takes Huang Mingming to work with her. Yet, occasionally in the painful journey of programming study, looking back at Huang Mingming's fingers flying over the keyboard, the sense of frustration only grows stronger.

The software you are using is also written in C language," Huang Mingming said, "because your requirements are not particularly complex, and I have the corresponding modules on my computer, so the process is relatively quick

"There is no need to trouble you." Tang Mi said, "I can go by myself."

Tang Mi could not tell whether Jiao Min was joking or not, and in that moment, she thought of her mother and deeply resonated with it

The other party's voice is very soft, and their persuasiveness is indeed lacking

The application of learning to such an extent is indeed admirable

I am taking leave and will go to Ninghai tomorrow

How many people can be in the study room during summer vacation? Looking around, there are fewer than five.

After thinking for a while, she called Li Zhixing to inquire about this matter

How do you know that

Li Zhixing recalled the time two weeks ago when he took Minglang to the airport. Tang Minglang had been in low spirits the entire way—he said his father had promised to come and see him off, but ultimately did not show up. At that time, his aunt had sarcastically remarked, "Your father, when has he ever been reliable with his words?" Tang Minglang had argued with his mother over this matter, making this farewell even more unpleasant.

Huang Mingming did not leave either; seeing her start to rush the report, she took the initiative to move to another seat and sat down in the one behind her

Understanding her concerns, it would indeed be inappropriate for him to go. Li Zhixing paused and said, "Alright then, you go by yourself"

How slow it was to descend from the 20th floor to the 2nd floor, she could feel it. Tang Mi stared at the flashing numbers in the elevator. Five, four, three, two, Tang Mi breathed a sigh of relief, quickly said her goodbyes, and left the elevator for the cafeteria

Lymphoma

Tang Mi stared at Huang Mingming for ten seconds before silently shifting her position to let her sit down

Although the speaker is just a young person in their early twenties, their words left Li Ruqin speechless for a long time.

Li Zhixing smiled on the other end of the phone: "Did I not mention it? My sister is the secretary of the board of directors at Guotou."

In the investment circle, it is very difficult for women to succeed; no matter how beautiful their appearance is, it is of no use, and they can only work twice as hard

Li Zhixing was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, revealing his white, healthy, and perfectly aligned teeth. The condition of one's teeth cannot overlook both innate and acquired factors, but the latter is generally more important. Those with good teeth often come from families with strong educational values. Li Zhixing serves as an excellent testament to this.

What a world obsessed with appearances. Li Zhixing thought helplessly, it seems that he is not much different himself

Tang Mi felt a bit uneasy in her heart. Did she say something funny? Li Zhixing seemed to be overly happy.

Tang Mi thought, it is indeed quite rare

This afternoon, a rain fell, alleviating much of the oppressive heat. Li Zhixing stood under a tree outside the girls' dormitory, the dim yellow light of the streetlamp casting down, elongating his tall and slender figure on the ground. He said into his phone, "Here," and waved to her with his tall and slender silhouette. Not far from him stood a couple, reluctant to part.

Tang Mi was merely flustered, and now, having been advised by Li Zhixing, she felt that this was indeed the best course of action.

Well, although this is just a formality and the truth is indistinguishable, at least it is a compliment. How should she respond? In the next moment, Li Zhixing's reminder appeared in her mind—when unsure of what to say, just smile.

Tang Mi averted his gaze and walked towards Li Zhixing

Then I shall take you as my master

At this time, Tang Mi had already returned to her dormitory, so she made a phone call. This time, someone finally answered, but it was not Tang Weidong himself; it was his secretary, whose surname was Wu. Tang Mi had met Secretary Wu a few times before. After briefly introducing herself, she inquired about her grandmother's situation.

You have studied for one more year than she has, Tang Mi pointed out

"It doesn't matter if there is or not," Chen Zijia said, "Smart and hardworking individuals can be given opportunities at the right time"

This resume is indeed impressive, even Chen Zijia nodded slightly in acknowledgment

"No, I did not help you," Li Zhixing said

The other party is very clear about their class schedule—communicating with someone who has previously tracked you and may still be tracking you has the greatest benefit of saving a lot of explanatory text. Others may be dependable yet unreliable, but if there is a capable person of Huang Mingming's caliber willing to teach, what could she possibly have to mind?

The National Investment is located in the most central financial district of the city, and it is not very close to the university; fortunately, there is a direct subway line. Tang Mi has to leave home at seven o'clock every morning to take the subway to the financial center, and can only return to the university after nine o'clock in the evening

Li Zhixing slightly bent down, took her hand and held it in his: "You shouldn't worry too much. I just checked the article, and the cure rate for lymphoma is very high. Your uncle is still very young, so there is nothing serious. Don't carry a psychological burden."

Grandfather and grandmother also suggested that aunt remarry, but she appeared rather unhurried about it

At this moment, Li Junzi also put away his iPad and smiled at Tang Mi with great interest, greeting her in a very familiar manner: "Hey, Tang Mi, long time no see."

She left the dormitory holding her phone, ignoring Zhao Xingdan's teasing gaze

"That is not the case. At a professional level, she is indeed exceptionally outstanding—" Li Zhixing's voice softened as he pondered thoughtfully

It is precisely mealtime, thus it is not difficult to deduce

The school is so large, one is bound to encounter it.

Zhao Xingdan was aware of her hardships, her eyes nearly popping out: "Oh my, even you are staying up late! It seems that Guotou is truly not an easy place to be! The salary and the sweat are proportional!" Zhao Xingdan was an intern at a consulting firm; although it was also tough, it was somewhat better than what Tang Mi was experiencing.

......

"Then just get married, marry a wealthy person. In this industry, the ones you see the most are wealthy people." Jiao Min looked at Tang Mi, who was standing in front of her like a well-behaved elementary school student, and a smile appeared on her lips, "To be honest, getting married is also a good career path."

Are you still studying independently

His hands are dry and warm, much larger than hers. It is said that there is a precise ratio between height and hand size; taller individuals tend to have larger hands as well

"He has the right to know and should know about his father's condition," Li Zhixing said. "Tang Minglang is not a child; he should have a certain level of resilience and needs to understand how to manage his emotions and studies in the face of adversity. Aunt, you cannot always shield him under your wings; this way, he will not be able to grow."

Li Zhixing took out her phone and pointed the camera at her: "Look at me"

Chen Zijia made a sound of acknowledgment

Bad news often arrives unexpectedly, just like now. Tang Mi finally understood what it felt like to be "blinded by darkness"; it was akin to being in high spirits when suddenly a hammer struck her forehead. In that moment, all she wanted was to knock out Secretary Wu on the other end of the phone with her own phone. Being diagnosed with cancer is just "poor health"?

You never said that

"She is an undergraduate student," Li Junzi said, "the only undergraduate among this year's group of interns, and she is exceptionally outstanding"

Tang Mi was both amused and perplexed, yet she merely harbored her grievances in silence—what constitutes misconduct

"The relationship is somewhat distant, but it can still be considered a bit of a familial connection; she is the niece of my aunt's ex-husband," Li Junzi said. "The young lady has had quite a tumultuous background, but she is exceptionally intelligent. She is pursuing a double degree in finance and mathematics, with a GPA above 3.9, and has even published a paper in a mathematics journal with an impact factor over 10. Mr. Chen, I need to clarify one thing: her coming to be an intern has nothing to do with me at all."

Tang Mi listened with great tension: "Then, what if it collapses?"

"Ah, you and I were truly alike back in the day," Li Ruqin said

It should be said that Tang Mi's title of "Ice Mountain Beauty" is closely related to her eyes. Some people are born with charming peach blossom eyes, which can be captivating even if they are indifferent. However, Tang Mi is not like that; she has a pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes, but there is not much warmth in her gaze. When she stares at someone expressionlessly, it is like the cold moonlight, which can indeed make one feel alternately cold and warm.

He steadied himself and asked, "How is the treatment progressing?"

Since the second year of university, she and Huang Mingming have not spoken a word to each other. Occasionally, when they pass by each other on campus, they will exchange a brief greeting. As for whether Huang Mingming is still using secretive methods to follow her—forget it, why think so much about it

Mr. Li smiled and said, "You are absolutely right."

Huang Mingming took out a super-thin laptop from his backpack and powered it on, handing Tang Mi a USB drive: "Copy your data to me and let me know your requirements"

In the middle of the night, she lay tiredly in bed, unable to suppress a bitter smile

She was not originally such an insecure person, but during this internship, she faced multiple setbacks, which inevitably led her to doubt herself. Upon further reflection, she felt that there were reasons behind this situation. Even though she had already rejected Li Zhixing, he had remained steadfast in his intentions over the past year, helping her both openly and discreetly. She thought that it was not impossible for him to plead with her cousin for an opportunity on her behalf. It was not surprising that Li Zhixing did not admit to this. He considered her in everything; how could he bear to let her confidence be undermined. Even though she had already rejected Li Zhixing, he had remained steadfast in his intentions over the past year, helping her both openly and discreetly. She thought that it was not impossible for him to plead with her cousin for an opportunity on her behalf. It was not surprising that Li Zhixing did not admit to this. He considered her in everything; how could he bear to let her confidence be undermined

Tang Mi was in awe. The over one million downloads indicate two things: first, the outstanding performance of this software; second, the unparalleled economic benefits it brings.

"We can evaluate her performance during the internship," said Chen Zijia. "If suitable, we can offer her a full-time job opportunity after she graduates in her senior year."

The senior leader nodded slightly and cast a brief glance at her

Tang Mi had never expected that Huang Mingming would actually be quite good as a computer teacher—whenever a person excels in their field, they possess a profound understanding of the development and history of that industry, especially a thorough comprehension of the key points and challenges. Even if their verbal communication skills are average, they can still explain things more clearly in a one-on-one setting.

Data processing is not complicated. Huang Mingming stood beside her and said softly, If you need help, I can assist you

Under the heavy pressure of busyness, the two-month summer vacation is drawing to a close

Within Li Zhixing's understanding, his former uncle by marriage is generally a man of his word. The fact that he did not come to see his son off for studying abroad likely indicates that something very urgent has occurred. Now, he has finally received the answer

Secretary Wu remained subtly silent for a moment before responding: "There is indeed such a matter"

Secretary Wu seemed somewhat hesitant, but having served as Tang Weidong's secretary for many years, he was well aware of the Tang family's relationships and could understand her feelings

Tang Mi felt a slight sense of relief, as the worst possibility she had previously considered was a bizarre disappearance; as long as her grandmother was not suddenly missing, that would be sufficient

As the voice faded, with a "click," Li Zhixing handed the phone to her

Fortunately, Jiao Min is not the type of mentor who treats others harshly. On the first day of work, she spoke to Tang Mi at length.

"Wait a moment," Li Zhixing interrupted her, "You are still an intern; tomorrow is Thursday, not the weekend."

Aunt, your marriage failed because you were not accommodating enough

In the Investment Policy Department of China National Investment Corporation, there are numerous outstanding talents among the formal employees. If one were to randomly select a resume, it would at least reflect a master's degree from a world-renowned university. The Policy Department has recruited three interns, and she is the only one with an undergraduate degree.

Not convenient to say

"If you can't hold on any longer in the future, you can also get married." Jiao Min continued to deliver a knowing blow, "Of course, like every profession, marrying a wealthy person is also a job that can be quite prone to unemployment."

After the driver started the car, Li Junzi sighed and steered the conversation back.

The slightly deep male voice was so displeased that it made Tang Mi shiver

Li Zhixing put his phone back into his pocket and waited with a slight smile

Ninghai Medical University Affiliated Second Hospital

Chen Zijia inquired, "Graduate student?"

Did Minglang know? Have you told him?

Thus, I unfortunately became one of the events she was "interested" in. Tang Mi thought, finally experiencing this feeling of being "shot while lying down".

When mentioning Tang Mi, Li Ruqin's tone was not very pleasant; after all, it is not news that my aunt does not like Tang Mi.

Tang Mi made another call to Tang Weidong after hanging up. Tang Weidong's mobile phone was turned off, and there was no response. Tang Weidong had many contact methods, but Tang Mi only knew his personal number and was unaware of any work numbers.

Do not hang up the phone, come out

She is completely in awe; truly, every profession has its own expertise

The couple next to her seemed to be sharing some light laughter. Tang Mi turned her head to take a glance; the boy was sitting on a bicycle, softly speaking to the girl while holding her waist, and playfully pinching her cheek. The atmosphere was extremely affectionate. With a quick glance, Tang Mi recognized them as Han Yulu and her boyfriend.

"In life, such things can happen sometimes," Li Zhixing said, "Don't worry."

Which hospital is uncle hospitalized in? Tang Mi composed herself.

Li Zhixing fell into a subtle silence for a moment

They didn't say much and just left in a hurry

At that time, I thought it was unimportant; who would have known which company you would go to?" Li Zhixing replied with righteous confidence

Early detection, being in the first stage, results in a relatively high cure rate

"Having an education is always beneficial," Huang Mingming said, "and it is not tiring to study; there is ample time for me to explore topics of interest."

Tang Mi's hand, which was moving the mouse, froze. She was acutely aware of how precious this internship opportunity was to her. She still had a report to submit in the next couple of days, and after submitting it, there would be a very important seminar in the department that weekend

Tang Mi nodded, indicating that he understood

No wonder Mr. Li's interview was so targeted

Second floor

Tang Mi was taken aback: "Hmm?"

Of course, Chen Zijia nodded slightly, "I have great confidence in the company's intern selection system"

No matter how high the cure rate is, it does not imply one hundred percent.

Did you take your grandmother to Ninghai?

Li Ruqin was momentarily taken aback, but fortunately, she was not a young person; with her rich life experience, she quickly regained her composure

Cancer. She thought, it is actually cancer. The cancer that strikes fear into the hearts of many.

You come out of the dormitory

"Is she really your cousin?" Chen Zijia asked her with a glance

Li Zhixing maintained a veto stance regarding her decision. During the summer vacation, Li Zhixing spent most of his time in the school's laboratory, working on a cloud computing project under the guidance of his teacher

Hmm. Huang Mingming nodded repeatedly, revealing a broad smile, looking genuinely happy

Tang Mi looked down from the twentieth floor with her phone in hand, observing that the pedestrians and vehicles on the road appeared as small as toys

Hmm?

I am wondering, with your impressive abilities, what else can you learn during your undergraduate studies

Mr. Li is in a good mood and continues to joke: "General Chen, look at how you scared the young lady. I believe that after a while, you will be able to have the effect of 'stopping children's night cries'"

At that time, did she not consider whether there was some misunderstanding in this matter

Li Zhixing shook his head. He wanted to say, "Aunt, you are overthinking it. I am not like you." Before the words could leave his mouth, he quickly hit the brakes—why should he bring the flames of war upon himself

He pondered before responding: "It is like this, Mr. Tang is currently unwell and has no one to take care of him, which is why he brought your grandmother to Ninghai, to occasionally prepare some meals."

"There are priorities in matters, and it is too late to take leave today; the work in hand must be submitted," Li Zhixing said. "Let's go the day after tomorrow; combined with the weekend, there will be three days."

He said: "Aunt, your failed marriage has nothing to do with your family background. The Tang family has not caused you any trouble from beginning to end; they have not taken a single penny from you, nor have they spent a night at your home. Uncle Tang can almost be considered as having married into the Li family."

For instance, her spoken English is significantly inferior to that of other interns, and she has limited understanding of current economic changes. During meetings, she struggles to digest the information shared by her colleagues due to insufficient knowledge reserves, and her thinking is not flexible enough. When others present three ideas, she can only come up with one. Additionally, she is not proficient enough with the software; when processing data, she finds that her own calculations are faster than the software's processing. Although she has been interning for less than a month, the problems she faces seem to amount to the total challenges of her three years in university. The financial sector is evolving rapidly, and she is making the most of every second to learn, yet she still cannot keep up with the pace of others.

Suddenly, a voice sounded beside me, "The method you are using is incorrect"

She felt it was quite strange; where could her grandmother possibly go at such a late hour? Thus, she made a call to her second aunt's house next door. Throughout the entire summer vacation, her second aunt had been in a good mood, as this year her son Xiaogang was admitted to a prestigious university, majoring in electrical engineering.

"Excessive pressure is not a good thing," said Jiao Min. "How many women do you see in this office?"

Aunt, there is something that I think it is better to tell you

Upon seeing Tang Mi outside the elevator, the two paused in their conversation, and two pairs of eyes, each conveying a different meaning, immediately swept over. Realizing that the gaze of the senior leader was fixed on him, Tang Mi's thoughts clearly short-circuited for a moment, and cold sweat began to trickle down his back.

"How do you know about this matter?" Li Ruqin paused for a moment, "Did Tang Mi tell you?"

Oh... what did grandma say she was going to do

Do I still need to teach you the four characters "keeping pace with the times"

After hanging up the phone, Tang Mi stared blankly while gripping her mobile phone tightly, her cheeks devoid of color

Hello, Sister Li. She greeted Li Junzi with meticulous care

Go to the cafeteria

She knows the person in the elevator

"I joined Guotou, does it have anything to do with your cousin?" She still asked.

Tang Mi followed the instructions one by one and finally communicated the requirements to the other party

"No," Tang Mi replied, "I am currently in my third year, and after September, I will be in my fourth year."

Tang Mi asked: "Can you?"

Thank you

It cannot be said that they did not have career aspirations when they entered, but too many people have been overwhelmed by work pressure

Alright, I understand

The elevator door emitted a "ding" and began to close, but Li Junzi, quick-witted and agile, pressed the open door button: "Aren't you going downstairs? Why aren't you coming in?"

In reality, this issue exists in every company and every circle. Although the gender ratio in the academy is roughly equal, a glance around the office reveals that the middle and senior management positions are predominantly held by men. Women have to exert three times, or even five times, the effort to reach the same positions as men

The speaker possessed a striking appearance that left Tang Mi momentarily blank. In an instant, she recognized who this man was. The president of the investment company, the vice president of the entire group, Chen Zijia, a member of the board of directors. After nearly a month as an intern, this was her first encounter with the big boss. In that moment, she surprisingly found herself thinking that her big boss was even taller than she had imagined, and he was much more handsome in person than in the photos.

I did not say it, but I believe you should tell him, Aunt.

Tang Mi originally had social anxiety and was not good at interacting with others. Unlike other interns who sought to please their mentors, she had no thoughts on how to curry favor while the other interns discussed strategies to win over their mentors. She could only make an effort to smile.

They don't need me at all. The young lady secured the offer on her own. I have seen the interview feedback, and the evaluation is quite positive.

She felt a great complexity of emotions, sensing that the road ahead was uncertain, and she could hardly see the path to the future

Given the circumstances, it is futile to dwell on it—someone treats her so well, what could she possibly complain about? That would indeed be quite ungrateful

During the day, my grandmother is busy with work in the fields, and the landline is mostly unanswered. Although there is no economic pressure at home now, my grandmother still busies herself with her own little plot of land. She firmly believes that if she is not busy, she will rust. Unexpectedly, however, there is no one to answer the phone on the other end.

Li Zhixing did not know Tang Weidong's work number, but he had always been attentive to matters concerning Tang Mi. Even though his aunt had already divorced, finding a work phone number was not difficult at all. He made a few calls and managed to obtain Tang Weidong's work number, which he then sent back via text message

For young people around the age of twenty, they are always full of vitality and good health, and diseases like cancer rarely enter their thoughts. Naturally, a vibrant young person like Li Zhixing would not dwell on the melancholic matters of aging, illness, and death, and for a moment, he was also emotionally stirred.

Tang Mi left the elevator, which continued its descent to the underground parking level, designated as B1. In the final moment before the elevator doors closed, both individuals inside heard the sound of hurried footsteps. The tension that had just filled the elevator dissipated significantly due to the topic brought up by "the appearance of Tang Mi"

Studying for an additional year does not necessarily mean acquiring a richer body of knowledge; otherwise, what would be the purpose of self-study?

Since she is willing to teach, you should follow along and learn, Li Zhixing said in the end, This level of teacher is indeed hard to find. However, if she behaves inappropriately towards you, just let me know immediately

Li Zhixing knew what she was thinking and smiled: "Although she is a stalker, one cannot underestimate her. She has not used this software for profit; the software itself is free and does not contain any embedded advertisements"

During her three years at university, she spent too much time on mathematics and English, and her accumulation of knowledge in less important computer software was insufficient. As a result, when it comes to processing large amounts of data and analyzing it in conjunction with reports, it becomes particularly laborious. If given time, she believes she can learn well, but the biggest problem now is the lack of time

Interns are not just domestic students; they come from prestigious universities around the world, and each individual's resume is quite impressive. In this context, she, as an undergraduate, has become the one with the lowest academic qualifications in the entire large office.

......

Mr. Li kindly asked, "Which floor are you going to?"

He just went to the United States to study; what if it affects his learning?

Tang Mi was exhausted from the summer internship, and the various pressures made her fully experience the demeanor of a national-level investment bank. Jiao Min also advised her not to push herself too hard, as a balance between tension and relaxation is the best working method

Li Zhixing speaks in a calm tone

It is truly unreasonable to have Li Zhixing running around with me for matters concerning my own family. Moreover, he has work to attend to; otherwise, why would he choose to stay in the dormitory during the summer vacation instead of going home?

Uncle is still so young, he is only 43 years old this year, and there are still many things he has not done

What is going on? Tang Mi was utterly perplexed. She thought this matter was too strange. Why would her uncle suddenly take her grandmother to Ninghai for no apparent reason?

However, she allowed the other party to hold her hand like this, and it became tighter and tighter

After hastily finishing her lunch in the cafeteria, Tang Mi returned to the office. There were not many people in the office during lunchtime, and she took her phone to the window side to call Li Zhixing, recounting her "encounter" in the elevator.

No... it is not...

The ringtone of the phone interrupted Tang Mi's thoughts—she looked at the phone number, it was Li Zhixing.

On Friday evening, Li Zhixing went to his grandparents' house for dinner. Ever since Minglang left, Ms. Li Ruqin has almost completely treated her parents' home as her own, coming over for meals from time to time. It is understandable, as she is divorced, her son is abroad, her career is stable, and her boyfriend has little desire for marriage—she must feel a sense of emptiness all at once.

I have been keeping an eye on her all along said Li Zhixing with a slight smile

What are you planning to do

This is what Li Zhixing told her, to remember her own responsibilities, and if there are any doubts, just smile more.

Some interns perform well enough to receive an "offer" from the company, but when compared to other outstanding interns, she indeed has gaps in her abilities. The comparisons made over the past two months have made her realize the differences between herself and graduates from prestigious universities—unlike mathematics, this gap cannot be bridged in a short period of time. She is even contemplating whether she should pursue further studies for a few more years

Yes

During the summer vacation, Tang Mi still had an internship, so there were actually not many opportunities to accept training from Huang Mingming. At most, they could study together during the free time on weekends

She thought that people's destinies are indeed intertwined in a very strange way. The original her was so unwilling to have any ties with the Li family, yet now, apart from Li Zhixing, she has come to know all the members of the Li family of this generation. Moreover, they have all been of great help to her, which is truly terrible.

In his view, Huang Mingming is a habitual offender with a criminal record—having a "habitual offender" now together with Tang Mi is simply like sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth

The Investment Department is located on the 20th floor, with three elevators on each floor. Tang Mi, lost in thought as she recalled the key points from the report, casually lifted her head, only to be startled.

What

After the "tracking incident," Li Zhixing's attention towards Huang Mingming did not diminish in the slightest. She truly remained at the Information Research Association and did not drop out midway. Although she is not considered a core member, she still participated in half of the activities. It seems that she has now given up on being a stalker, but one cannot completely rule out the possibility of a relapse.

"You can always reach out to me in the future," Huang Mingming added, "If you need to learn C, C++, or JAVA, I can teach you all of them."

"That's amazing," Tang Mi said. If possible, she would have liked to celebrate by jumping into the arms of the other person like Zhao Xingdan. But... perhaps it's better to let it go.

Are you in the dormitory

Aunt Er exclaimed, "Oh! Didn't your grandmother go to Ninghai a couple of days ago? You still don't know?"

However, you should not ask her about software-related matters," Li Zhixing said, "almost no one knows that she is the author

"Undergraduate students will not become an obstacle to further study," said Chen Zijia. "If we do not seize excellent talents, will we just wait for them to be poached by foreign companies?"

As one grows older, one will encounter more experiences of life and death, illness and pain; everyone grows through such encounters, without exception

However, General Manager Chen, it would be better to handle the reform matter with a more moderate approach

"Even if the cure rate is high, it is still cancer... but what can be done... Weidong is still so young..."

"Methods can be conceived, but policies cannot be altered; when taking meat from the wolf's mouth, one must always exercise caution"

Tang Mi thought that Li Zhixing had helped, and thus had the right to know the truth

What did Uncle take Grandma over for?

Although I am pleased that you hold me in high regard," Li Zhixing said with a smile that curved his brows and eyes, "but really, on a purely technical level, how can I compare to her?

"I am not joking." Seeing that Tang Mi remained silent, Huang Mingming felt somewhat anxious and reiterated, "I can really teach you... There aren't many courses in your schedule that involve computer languages, and without guidance, it will be a bit more difficult to learn.

After the elevator arrived at the basement level 1, the two individuals walked to the parking space and got in.

A flood of terrible thoughts rushed in, and Li Ruqin's expression turned extremely grim as she slowly sat down, supporting herself on the armrest of the sofa. In that moment, Li Zhixing intuitively felt that his aunt might still have some feelings for Tang Weidong. When his aunt divorced years ago, she was actually very reluctant, which is why she made such an outrageous demand for Tang Weidong to leave with nothing. To his surprise, he actually agreed.

Indeed, it is quite fast, saving her more than four times the time she would have spent herself

At one point, she harbored a deep hatred for her uncle due to his unfilial behavior. She despised him in her heart, wishing that her grandmother had no such son, and that her mother had no such shameless brother. She thought to herself that the world was truly unfair. Had her mother given up the opportunity to attend university just to raise an ungrateful wretch? She also wondered how such an unfilial son could escape retribution.

In the fourth week after starting her job, she encountered an acquaintance at the company. It was a weekend, and the other interns had all gone to a social event, but she politely declined the invitation and stayed at the company to review various reports and summarize her experiences. Considering the gap between herself and others, she believed it was better not to engage in comparisons—others had higher educational qualifications and had studied for at least two more years than she had, so what could she use to compare with them? In such a harsh reality, managing interpersonal relationships became less important.

"What cancer?" Her voice was hoarse, and it took her a long time to utter even half a sentence

I am not clear...

I have something to attend to." Huang Mingming averted his gaze, "I did not follow you... This time, it was truly a coincidence.

Tang Mi's computer skills are at the level of being familiar with professional software, and writing code is not even within her consideration.

Huang Mingming, this girl, has always given the impression of lacking confidence, yet at this moment, she seems to have transformed into a different person. Her eyes are shining, her hands are flying over the keyboard, and lines of code are rapidly springing forth from her fingertips, appearing to increase in speed.

Li Zhixing understood her thoughts. Firstly, she is not one to easily accept favors from others, as she does not want to owe anyone a debt of gratitude; secondly, she is actually quite proud. Proud individuals tend to look down upon nepotism. Throughout her life, she has always stood at the pinnacle of the intelligence pyramid, having relied on her own abilities to reach where she is today, never needing the charity of others

Once the data is organized, the progress of the report will proceed very smoothly

On Wednesday evening, when she returned to the school, it was already past 10:30. She did not insist on going to study; instead, she walked towards the dormitory while making a phone call home

At the end of June, Tang Mi officially began her internship. The first week of the internship primarily involved an introduction to the company's overview, various departments, company policies, and training on some technical content, such as software usage and familiarization with regulations. After the training period, she transitioned to a formal nine-to-five work schedule

The persuasive power of this statement is simply overwhelming, and Tang Mi looked at him in defeat

Mr. Li smiled and said, "Director Chen, she is my cousin, interning here for the summer. She is from the School of Economics and Management at Peking University, and she is your junior. Let me calculate, she is more than ten graduating classes behind you."

Although Tang Mi received a promise, she did not fully believe it

She inquired about Tang Xiaogang's situation and also mentioned her grandmother

Xiao Tang, do not worry too much. President Tang's illness was detected very early, and the doctor said the possibility of recovery is quite high. President Tang is currently undergoing chemotherapy, and his condition is stable.

This environment greatly tests a person's emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills. Each intern is assigned a mentor, and Tang Mi's mentor is an exceptionally talented female analyst named Jiao Min, who holds a Ph.D. from Harvard and is currently single

"The bright father..." Li Zhixing said, "has been diagnosed with lymphoma"

"No, you are welcome," Huang Mingming said

"Is everything alright? Why did you just ask me for your uncle's phone number?"

Before witnessing it with her own eyes, she absolutely did not believe in vague statements such as "it can still be done"

I knew you wouldn't give up; it turns out you are still in contact with her

......

"Ah? Going to Ninghai? What is going on?" This matter is big news for Tang Mi

Tang Mi's emotions were too complex; the girl in front of her was unremarkable in appearance, yet in her own field, she stood high and mighty like a queen

You can use it.

After dinner, Li Zhixing found a suitable time to talk to Li Ruqin, expressing his desire to have a discussion with her. Since their unpleasant fallout during their senior year of high school over Tang Mi, the relationship between Li Zhixing and Li Ruqin has remained strained until now

Jiao Min is a responsible mentor who provides careful guidance and points out various shortcomings. Under her mentorship, Tang Mi has made significant progress, but as the summer internship period extends, she gradually feels that the knowledge she lacks is almost as vast as a trainload.

The USB drive is shaped like a cute little rabbit. After being inserted into the computer, the indicator light lit up, resembling a pair of rabbit eyes

It turns out that Li Zhixing uses a professional image processing software. This software is not large in size, its functions are not overly complex, yet it is quite interesting. For instance, it can process a person's photo according to specific requirements, such as stretching the eyes, shrinking the mouth, adjusting the nose, and changing the skin color.

This statement always sounds somewhat off to me—Tang Mi twitched her lips

What

"Just the day before yesterday, someone suddenly came, claiming to be your uncle's subordinate, who drove a small car and took your grandmother away"

Tang Mi had a realization: "It seems that the software I write is more user-friendly than others. However... it is just a matter of being able to write it."

Do you think she is not capable

Mr. Li is holding an iPad and is reporting the situation to the man beside him: "President Chen, you need to consider the board's intentions; reform is not something that can be changed just like that..."

Madness! Tang Mi slightly raised her head to look at Li Zhixing. She thought that she must be terribly mistaken about this matter—she and Li Zhixing were merely ordinary friends, yet everything Li Zhixing did had already surpassed the bounds of ordinary friendship. If she still had a shred of rationality, she should decisively reject him.

"What illness has my uncle contracted due to his poor health?" Tang Mi was not a three-year-old child; upon hearing this vague explanation, she understood that the situation was not good.

It must be said that handling data is truly exasperating to the extreme. The software she is using is a newly released product from a well-known foreign company, which is powerful yet complex. She is not very familiar with it and is still in the process of learning. The documentation format conversion, importation, classification, and analysis, along with the entirely English user manual, make the dense data a sheer torment to work with

The expression on her nephew's face was very serious, and Li Ruqin felt that his expression resembled that of her brother. Whenever her brother wore such an expression, it signified the occurrence of something significant.

"Very interesting." Tang Mi pursed her lips as she looked at her phone, where she appeared to be an alien creature.

Tang Mi did not doubt her uncle's filial piety; over the years, her uncle had also mentioned taking her grandmother out for a trip, but her grandmother had always declined. However, it is indeed rather strange for her grandmother to leave Tangjia Village without even saying goodbye to her.

I will accompany you to Ninghai on Friday

Huang Mingming's fingers paused on the keyboard as she opened the file and said, "While using professional software can perform calculations, such software is relatively large and may not meet your formatting needs, requiring multiple processes. Although you handle a large amount of data, the variety is limited, so you can write your own code to process it. This can save a significant number of steps, and the resulting output will directly meet the requirements, making it faster in fact"

Regardless of the truth, the facts are as they are; only by doubling her efforts can she avoid disappointing those who have helped her

At that time, my family did not approve of my marriage to Tang Weidong, saying it was inappropriate due to various factors such as family background and upbringing. I was very upset and made a scene. Li Ruqin said, "In the end, my parents could not stand against me, so we got married. However, as for the outcome, you can see it clearly yourself"

Huang Mingming felt a chill run down her spine under her gaze: "What?"

Thus, Tang Mi pressed her lips together and revealed a smile

Li Zhixing believes that although the two have divorced, they were married for eighteen years, and Tang Weidong is also the father of her child, so she has the right to know about her ex-husband's current situation

After spending the entire morning in the office reviewing reports, Tang Mi stood up and went to the cafeteria alone for lunch
