Chapter 63 Entrepreneurship
That day, Lin Yan's computer screen was on, and he probably went to get some water.
I went over to take a look out of boredom.
The screen is full of English documents, complex charts and dense formulas. Although I am no longer completely unfamiliar with these symbols after the baptism of postgraduate entrance examinations and graduation projects, the mysterious book formed by their arrangement and combination still makes me feel daunted.
I could only barely recognize a few key words, which seemed to be related to his previous very impressive patent project.
"What are you looking at?" Lin Yan's voice sounded with a smile behind me. He walked over with a cup of water, put his arm around my waist naturally, rested his chin on my shoulder, and looked at the screen following my gaze.
"Uh... just looking around..." I felt a little embarrassed about being caught and wanted to slip away. "I don't understand. Bye."
"Don't go," Lin Yan tightened his arms to prevent me from escaping, his voice filled with surprise and joy. "Our Ruirui has actually started to pay attention to what I make? It's really a surprise."
He tilted his head and kissed my neck, his breath warm.
"Don't!" I waved my hands hastily, my face flushed. "I recognize these characters individually, but when they're arranged and combined together, it's like reading an alien language! I don't understand a thing!"
Lin Yan laughed softly, and the vibration of his chest was clearly transmitted to my back.
He didn't laugh at me. Instead, he seemed to be intrigued. Pointing at the screen, he began to patiently explain to me, "Look, this is the research I've been doing recently. It's an extension and deepening of the previous core patent, mainly to solve a bottleneck problem it encounters in practical application scenarios. In this niche field in China, it's actually quite cutting-edge..."
I tried to concentrate and follow his train of thought, but the technical terms still buzzed around in my head like little flies.
When he got to a certain point, I couldn't help but ask, "So...are you planning to sell the patent like the previous one?"
Lin Yan shook his head, put down the cup, turned around and faced me, his eyes becoming serious and bright: "No. This time, I plan to start my own company."
"Huh?!" I was completely stunned, my eyes widening. "Start a company?! You...you're not going to graduate school anymore?!"
The news was so sudden, it exploded like a bomb in my mind.
"It's not that I'm not going to graduate school," Lin Yan quickly explained, shaking my hand. "I originally wanted to tell you about this in detail once the plan was more mature, but we just happened to talk about it today. What I mean is that during graduate school, I will incubate and transform this patented technology on the platform of my own company, using it to attract investment and promote its implementation. I've already contacted some potential investors and companies, and they're very optimistic about the prospects of this project. Some even offered a high price to buy it outright, but I refused."
As I watched him speak confidently with his eyes shining, my heart was filled with shock and pride.
What the hell is wrong with this guy's brain?!
"Lin Yan... you're amazing!" I exclaimed sincerely. "While many people are still struggling with their graduation projects and wondering what they'll do after graduation, you... you've already made it this far?! Starting a company?! Oh my god..."
Lin Yan raised a finger, gently placed it on my lips, and made a "hush" gesture, his eyes a little cunning and gentle: "Baby, this matter is currently known only to you and me. Didn't I say it a long time ago? We must pave the way for our future. If we want a stable, prosperous future with choices, we must have a material foundation, so we have to find a way to make money."
He pinched my face and said, "I, your husband, must work hard to earn money for you."
These words were like a bolt of lightning, instantly splitting apart some of my previous ignorance.
Yes, this guy has never been a harmless little white rabbit! He is a foresighted and strategizing old fox!
He's usually so obedient and gentle to me that I sometimes forget who "Big Wang" is. It turns out he's already got his future planned out clearly, and is already on the way!
I pouted and said in a deliberately sour tone, "Ah, yes... Our Boss Lin always looks ten steps ahead, planning and winning from afar!"
Lin Yan was amused by me and came over to kiss the tip of my nose: "What's wrong, Ruirui? Do you think I didn't tell you in advance? I just felt that before things are completely finalized, I don't want to publicize it so as not to get disappointed."
"How could that be!" I quickly shook my head, leaning into his arms, my voice muffled, "It's just... I suddenly feel that you are too good, so good... that it's a little unreal."
A subtle sense of pressure and distance quietly grows.
Lin Yan held my face in his hands, looked into my eyes seriously, and then placed a gentle but solemn kiss on my lips: "No matter how good I am, I still fell into the hands of a little bastard like you. And,"
He said firmly, "Ruirui, you're also very good! You got into a top graduate school on your own, and you completed your graduation project piece by piece!"
"That's still... a bit of a rush, just to catch up with you..." I muttered softly, and the feeling of confusion in my heart surged up again.
Embarking on a journey for the one I love is wonderful, but what about me? Deep down, what do I really want to do? What is my goal?
To me, postgraduate study seemed to be just a natural step in Lin Yan's plan, rather than a direction that I had chosen on my own initiative and was passionate about.
Lin Yan keenly captured my low mood.
He pulled me to sit on the sofa, holding me in his arms, and gently guided me: "Ruirui, what about you? Putting aside me, putting aside 'for the future', what do you want to do in the future?"
I shook my head blankly, buried my face in the crook of his neck, and said in a muffled voice, "Lin Yan... to be honest, I don't know. Sometimes I feel like you all have goals and know what you want. Although I passed the exam, I... I still don't seem to know what I really want to do or what I like to do. I'm just... quite confused."
Lin Yan thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "How about trying to start from your interests? Don't you love playing games the most? Are you interested in the gaming industry?"
"Games?" I looked up and gave a wry smile. "Playing games and making games are two different things! And my major... while I do have some connection to game engines, graphics processing, physics simulation, and the like, it seems like a world of difference. The relevance isn't that strong, right?"
"Ruirui," Lin Yan said seriously, "when you delve deeper into your research field, you'll find that knowledge is universal. As long as you're interested and willing to explore and learn across disciplines, nothing is impossible. The gaming industry needs multi-disciplinary talent. The foundation you've laid in automation, control theory, and even programming are all valuable cornerstones. The key is whether you want to work hard in that direction."
His words were like a faint light, illuminating my bewildered heart. Although the road ahead was still blurry, at least I had a direction to look towards.
I nodded, hugged him tightly, and said in a voice filled with dependence and emotion: "Lin Yan... I love you so much."
Lin Yan laughed and ruffled my hair: "Why did you suddenly confess?"
I raised my head, rested my forehead against his, looked into his eyes, and said with all seriousness, "I just feel... it's so good to have you by my side. No matter what the future holds, it doesn't seem so scary anymore."
Lin Yan's eyes instantly became extremely gentle. He tightened his arms, hugged me tightly, and rubbed his chin against the top of my head: "Me too. Ruirui, as long as you are by my side, no matter what I do, it is already the greatest happiness."
