"Come in!" Zeng Bin called out loudly upon hearing the knock.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ye pushed open the door and entered.
Zeng Bin looked up, smiled, and said, "Oh, it's Xiao Zhao. What can I do for you?"
"Director Zeng, hello, I'm here to resign!" Zhao Ye said directly, and then placed the resignation letter on Zeng Bin's desk.
Upon hearing this, Zeng Bin's face was filled with surprise and disbelief.
"Xiao Zhao, are you sick? The Chinese Academy of Sciences is a place that so many people dream of, and you actually want to resign?" Zeng Bin couldn't understand. After a pause, he advised, "You should take this resignation letter back and think about it for a few days. Wait until you've thought it through before you speak!"
The wave of entrepreneurship has not yet taken off, so Zhao Ye's behavior is extremely rare.
Zhao Ye, however, said firmly, "Director Zeng, my mind is made up. I plan to start my own business!"
"Xiao Zhao, you need to think this through carefully. Resigning is no small matter! Starting a business is risky. What will you do if you fail? Isn't it better to have a stable job with the government?" Director Zeng advised again, unable to bear seeing such a promising young researcher from the Institute of Computing Technology go astray.
But Zhao Ye was determined to start his own business.
He said to Zeng Bin, "Director, I have confidence in myself. I believe I can make a name for myself in the business world!"
Seeing Zhao Ye's strong determination to resign and start his own business, Zeng Bin stopped trying to dissuade him.
“Alright, since you’ve made up your mind, I won’t try to persuade you anymore. I’ll accept this resignation letter. But what do you plan to do if you’re starting your own business? If you need any help, the institute can provide some assistance within its capabilities,” Zeng Bin asked.
Zhao Ye's expression changed slightly. He thought to himself that the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences would find out sooner or later that he was selling Chinese character cards. Hiding them now was pointless and would only make people despise him.
If we talk things out openly and honestly, we won't feel awkward when we meet again in the future.
Zhao Ye took a breath and slowly said, "I've started a company that plans to sell Chinese character cards!"
Upon hearing this, Zeng Bin looked puzzled.
Ni Annan hadn't even developed the Chinese character card yet, but Zhao Ye had already started selling them?
"You've developed a Chinese character card?" Zeng Bin asked, sounding somewhat incredulous.
Zhao Ye nodded: "Mm."
Zeng Bin: "So, when the institute announced its plans to develop the Chinese character card, you were already close to completing its development?"
Zhao Ye: "Yes, that's right!"
Upon receiving Zhao Ye's affirmative reply, Zeng Bin couldn't help but show surprise, momentarily at a loss for words.
Calling Zhao Ye selfish, for not handing over the research success to the institute but choosing to keep it for himself... but that's only human nature.
Putting himself in Zeng Bin's shoes, he could understand.
After a long pause, Zeng Bin sighed and said to Zhao Ye, "Everyone has their own ambitions, and we can't force them. It's just a pity that the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences couldn't retain a genius like you!"
Zhao Ye had spent many years at the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in his previous life and had developed a strong attachment to it. He said in a deep voice, "The Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences will always be my home. If the Institute needs any help in the future, I will do my best to help!"
Upon seeing this, Zeng Bin felt somewhat gratified and moved.
Zhao Ye only stayed at the Institute of Computing Technology for a few months, but no one expected him to have such deep feelings for the institute.
"It's good that you have the intention!"
Zeng Bin smiled and patted Zhao Ye on the shoulder, then said, "Alright, you can go now. I hope you succeed in your business!"
"Thank you, Director Zeng. I'll be going now!"
After finishing his sentence, Zhao Ye bowed to Director Zeng and then turned to leave. Director Zeng was a very kind person, and he had taken good care of Zhao Ye in his previous life. It was just a pity that due to various reasons, Zhao Ye's development was restricted here. Based solely on seniority, the company invested and established by the Chinese Academy of Sciences would never be in the hands of a greenhorn like Zhao Ye in his early twenties.
The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly.
Just like birds chasing the sky, Zhao Ye also wants to have a sky of his own!
Zhao Ye's resignation quickly caused a great stir in the Institute of Computing Technology, sparking much discussion.
Ni Annan's team looked at each other, stunned and seemingly feeling a sense of defeat.
The combined efforts of several people to research the Chinese character card were not as effective as those of Zhao Ye alone.
“Based on our current development progress, it will take at least three more months to succeed!” Ni Annan said.
Everyone was speechless with emotion.
Meanwhile, Yanagawa, who was conducting magnetic recording research, also looked rather unwell.
He has a long tenure and extensive network at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The Chinese character card is a project he values and has been preparing for it for a long time. Recently, whenever he has free time, he has been running around making connections, hoping that after Ni Annan successfully develops the Chinese character card, he can request the Chinese Academy of Sciences to invest in a company that specializes in selling Chinese character cards, and he will serve as the company's general manager.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly.
But then a sudden, earth-shattering revelation made Liu Chuanzhi's face turn bright red.
If Zhao Ye hadn't emerged out of nowhere, the Chinese Academy of Sciences would have held a monopolistic advantage after developing the Chinese character card, due to the lack of strong competitors.
But the situation is different now.
Zhao Ye's Chinese character card was launched first, so it naturally has a first-mover advantage over the Chinese character card developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
At this moment, Liu Chuanzhi felt furious whenever he thought of that handsome, sunny boy with a thermos in his hand.

Computerworld newspaper.
"Hello, I'd like to speak with your editor-in-chief. I'd like to place an advertisement in Computerworld newspaper!"
The headquarters of Computerworld newspaper was in the capital, saving Zhao Ye the trouble of taking the train to other cities.
