Chapter 39 She looks very happy
Qin Ce listened to her words and casually glanced at the documents.
Soon, the two arrived at the market. Qiao Xing parked the car on the side of the road and turned to ask him, "I'm going to buy groceries now. Are you going back or coming with me? It's not far back, just a few minutes' walk home."
Qin Ce was looking at her file and didn't even look up. "Anything is fine."
Qiao Xing noticed that he was looking very focused and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Are you interested in this?"
"Hmm." After Qin Ce finished speaking, he added, "It's rare to see a proposal written this badly."
Qiao Xing: "..."
He was looking at the proposals that had been rejected before. Qiao Xing had also seen them, but she thought they were alright, not as bad as he described.
"Aren't you in finance? How come you know about planning?"
Qin Ce closed the document, looked up at Qiao Xing, and said, "I know a little bit about it."
Qiao Xing's lips twitched slightly. "Really? Then why did you say other people's proposals were garbage?"
"Absolutely rubbish."
"..." Thank goodness it wasn't Qiao Xing who wrote it, or I would have been furious with his words.
Qiao Xing simply took off his helmet, got off the car, and looked at him very seriously, "Then tell me, where is it trash?"
Qin Ce handed her the plan and said coldly, "It's all garbage."
Qiao Xing suddenly remembered what Miss Wu had said before about ordinary men.
His current behavior is no different from that of a regular guy; he speaks in a very irritating way.
Qin Ce noticed that her expression was a little off, and, as if remembering something, asked, "Did you write this?"
Qiao Xing choked for a moment, then deflated, "It's definitely not. If I were to write it, it would be even worse than this."
"I brought it back to study because I didn't know how to write it. Never mind, I'm going to buy groceries."
Qin Ce also got out of the car and stared at her sullen expression, saying, "These proposals you have are too perfunctory. The market analysis is not comprehensive enough, the technical implementation and budget are not proportional, the operation strategy is not detailed enough, and there is no accurate assessment of market risk and competitive risk."
Qiao Xing paused in his steps.
Qin Ce continued, "At least in these proposals, I don't see any points that can achieve the expected return, so they will naturally be rejected."
Qiao Xing stared at him for a long time before realizing with surprise that he really did understand.
"Then, how do I write it to get approved?"
Qin Ce glanced at the folder in her hand, "Do you know what the main problems are with these proposals?"
"where?"
"Cognition, cognition of games and technology. The person who wrote the design proposal clearly doesn't understand technology. The points she mentioned in her product overview are indeed creative, but with your company's technical level, it's impossible to make them work."
"Take this rendering for example. Do you know how many floating-point operations it requires? Even if it were done, a typical computer couldn't handle it. And since it's a simulation game, pursuing high-quality graphics is inevitable. Setting it to the lowest global efficiency would defeat the purpose of the game."
"Imagine you buy a game, only to find your computer can't run it. Would you still be interested in playing it?"
Qiao Xing shook his head. This would definitely affect his mood while playing the game. No matter how good the game was, he wouldn't be able to play it. He couldn't possibly build a separate computer just for this game, could he?
"This is just one of the problems. I can't talk about caching and computation, but in short, it's rubbish."
Qiao Xing was convinced by his "garbage" comment; at least he pointed out the shortcomings of the plan.
What Qiao Xing didn't know was that Qin Ce never wasted time on project proposals when he was at the company; if they weren't good enough, he would just throw them in the trash.
It's simply impossible to explain to someone with that much patience.
Qiao Xing's company is the same. The company hires you to work, teaches you everything, so what else do they need you for?
Therefore, if you are rejected, you are rejected, and they will not tell you what the problem is.
This is why the plan has been delayed for so long, so Wu Yun passed the trouble to Qiao Xing.
"Then I roughly understand where to start." Qiao Xing nodded thoughtfully. With his guidance, Qiao Xing suddenly understood.
Looking at them more closely now, these proposals are indeed a bit rubbish.
"You really are impressive, considering you studied abroad."
Qin Ce didn't react to her praise; he simply said, "Alright, go buy the groceries."
"Okay." Qiao Xing smiled, her mood suddenly improving.
She quickly locked the car and went to the market with Qin Ce.
This was Qin Ce's first time at the market, and it could only be described in four words—a chaotic and unpleasant place.
Because it was after get off work hours, there were many people buying groceries. With so many people, all sorts of smells mixed together, which was very unpleasant.
Qiao Xing walked up to a stall, picked up a lettuce, and asked, "Boss, how much is this per pound?"
"Two yuan and fifty cents."
"It's two cents cheaper today." Qiao Xing took a few more and asked the shopkeeper to pack them up.
I also bought some lotus root and tomatoes, and finally asked the shop owner to give me a few scallions as a gift.
She turned to Qin Ce and said, "The vegetable vendors here give you free scallions and cilantro. If you don't like cilantro, you can ask for a few more scallions."
Qin Ce nodded without saying much, but he took the dishes from Qiao Xing's hands.
He stared at Qiao Xing's figure moving through the vegetable market, his gaze somewhat unfocused.
The bustling crowd around him seemed to separate his original world from his own, and he was exposed to another world beyond the glamorous city buildings.
This is a world filled with fireworks.
Qiao Xing bought another pound of meat for 20 yuan and 50 cents. She haggled with the shopkeeper for a long time and finally got him to give her a 50-cent discount.
This is impossible in a supermarket.
The way she haggled with the shopkeeper over five cents might seem mercenary and incomprehensible to some.
But she smiled happily because she saved 50 cents.
She looked very happy.
Whether a person is happy or not is not determined by what they have acquired or by the fulfillment of their desires.
Rather, it is a person who has been trapped in their own circle and cognition for a long time, who, after having the opportunity to come into contact with things outside their circle, sees a wider world and greater temptations.
She can return to her own circle, live the same life as before, and still be content with the status quo.
That is true happiness.
Qin Ce couldn't be sure if Qiao Xing was happy, but at least at this moment, she seemed happy.
After the two left the market, Qiao Xing smiled and said to him, "We spent 56 yuan on groceries today, enough for three days. Isn't that a great way to save money? It's much cheaper than ordering takeout."
They stood at the entrance of the market, surrounded by a noisy, bustling atmosphere and dazzling neon lights.
She smiled and boasted to him about her money-saving secrets, her eyes shining.
