"Liu, calm down. I am extremely sorry for what happened to you. We have investigated the matter thoroughly and found that it has nothing to do with you. It was all Ross's doing."
“I’ve already said this has nothing to do with me. In fact, I was forced to make coffee for our supervisor at the time. Speaking of which, I also want to tell the judge that IBM condones supervisors’ long-term bullying of employees. There must be many other victims of this kind of workplace environment. I want to join them in the appeal!”
"Liu, how about this? You can talk to me directly about your demands first. If we can reach an agreement, we won't need to bother the judge, right?"
"Sigh, I thought America was a free and equal country, but I never expected that after I came to IBM as a PhD student with a full scholarship from Stanford University, not only would I not have the opportunity to use my talents, but I would also be ordered around by a disgusting fat guy who is nothing, and make him coffee every day."
This kind of racial discrimination issue seems to have happened before in the US, involving a doctor, and it caused quite a stir..."
"Stop, stop, stop, Liu, how about this? The company is willing to offer you three times the normal severance pay for leaving the company, just hoping to put this matter to rest. What do you think?"
"Actually, it wasn't for the money. Money is worthless in the face of my talent and dignity..."
"5 times!"
"Deal! After all, I'm Chinese, and one of the finest virtues of our country is to be forgiving when possible."
"Thank you so much, my great motherland!"
After negotiating the terms with HR, Liu Zihong returned to his workstation to pack his things. Five times the compensation was a lot; it would be several million RMB, enough for him to start his own business back in China.
The female colleague who spoke up for Liu Zihong yesterday saw him walking over with an Indian-looking head wrapped in a wig, and she came up to him to ask what was wrong.
"Liu, are you alright?"
"Luckily I went to the hospital in time yesterday, otherwise I might be going to meet God."
"Oh my god, that's terrible, that annoying fat guy, but thankfully he's already been fired."
"Qiaolina, thank you for your concern. I regret to inform you that I have also resigned."
"What? Liu, you're resigning? Is it because of what happened yesterday? That annoying fat guy has been fired, and no one will exploit you anymore."
"That's only part of the reason; the main reason is that I love my country deeply."
"Liu, in that case, I wish you all the best."
Thank you, and I hope you can always be this beautiful.
Do you think I'm beautiful?
"Of course you're beautiful! You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. If you ever travel to China, you must come and visit me. I'll treat you to Chinese food."
"Haha, that's great! In that case, I'll treat you to dinner tonight as a farewell gift."
"OK."
Liu Zihong and Qiao Lina arranged a time and restaurant, and after packing their things, they went back first. Since they were preparing to return to China, they had to go back and pack their luggage.
That evening, Liu Zihong arrived at the restaurant where the two had arranged to meet.
"Jolina, I didn't expect you to order alcohol."
"Haha, how can we meet and part without wine? Come on, cheers!"
The two ate and chatted, and their conversation even touched on Rose.
"By the way, how's Rose?"
"Ross was fired for spreading the virus, but Catherine was moved by him and rekindled their old relationship. Now Ross is living off Catherine."
"How enviable!"
"Hmm? You envy Rose?"
"Yeah, isn't that enviable? You don't have to work, and you have a beautiful girlfriend. Being a kept man is every man's ultimate dream."
"Haha, is that so? You can do it too, you're so handsome."
"Being handsome is useless; no one will let me live off them."
"What do you think of me...?"
...
Later, after hearing from Qiao Lina that she had a kitten that could do backflips, Liu Zihong went to visit Qiao Lina's house and stayed there until noon the next day.
"Oh no, I'm late!"
"Since I'm already late, I might as well sleep a little longer."
Liu Zihong pulled Qiao Lina close and hugged her as they continued to sleep.
But Jolina's bed seems to be of poor quality; it started shaking as she slept, pigeons, pigeons, pigeons, pigeons!
In the evening, Liu Zihong cooked several classic Chinese stir-fries for Qiao Lina: scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, and hot and sour shredded potatoes...
"Wow, Liu, your cooking skills are good enough to open a Chinese restaurant."
"Haha, if it's delicious, eat more. I'll leave after I finish eating."
"Huh? Liu, can we not leave?"
"Jolina, if love between two people is meant to last, why should they be together every day? Once I've made something of myself, I'll come back to you."
That night, Liu Zihong didn't leave. Instead, he helped Qiao Lina check the quality of her furniture—on the dining table, in the kitchen, on the sofa, in the bathtub…
When Qiao Lina woke up the next morning, Liu Zihong had already left.
Liu Zihong was already waiting at the airport, holding a cup of goji berry tea in his hand.
"Sigh, it's not easy to buy goji berries in the US. They're really expensive and of poor quality. When I get back to China, I'll get some black goji berries to make tea."
After returning to China, Liu Zihong spent a few days at home and sorted out his entrepreneurial ideas. However, he knew that starting a business required going to big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen because he was working in the high-tech industry, and there was a shortage of talent in this field in other places.
His hometown is in Jiangxi, and the closest place to it is Shanghai.
A few days later, Liu Zihong arrived in Shanghai. He first rented a floor in a place called Deji Building, on the 26th floor, which had a great view.
That's right, it's the same floor that Xingchen Technology used to occupy. After Xingchen Technology and Xiaomi Technology moved to their new headquarters, this floor was leased out to a property management company.
After renting office space, Liu Zihong registered a company called Royole Corporation, whose main business is flexible screen technology.
After registering the company, it's time to start recruiting.
He also knew that there were not many teams in China researching flexible screen technology, and talent was scarce. Although he had a relatively mature theory, there was still a certain difference between theory and practice.
So he not only recruited locally in Shanghai, but also hired a multinational headhunting firm to poach talent from South Korea.
At the same time, he also began to purchase some office equipment and experimental equipment.
He only realized what it meant to spend money like water when he started his own business.
He had to be very careful with every penny, and he even wanted to tear the toilet paper in half before using it.
After finally assembling a team, Liu Zihong began his research.
