"Son, what's wrong? How was the competition?" After Chen Li picked up the phone, she began to ask about Li Chengqian's condition."Mom, everything is going smoothly. Don't worry." Li Chengqian said. Because the phone Chen Li was using was an old phone, it was very loud. Although it wasn't on speaker mode, it was no different from being on speaker mode. Huang Jingjing, who was sitting by the side, heard everything clearly.
"That's great!" Chen Li smiled. "Then why are you calling? Are you out of money?"
"Mom, it's not like that."
"I called to ask you to bring our company's business license over to Tianbao City today."
I've clinched another deal here. We have to sign the contract tomorrow." Li Chengqian's voice was filled with joy.
When Huang Jingjing heard this, she immediately pricked up her ears to listen hard. Although Li Chengqian didn't say much, there was a lot of information in his words. "Li Chengqian actually registered a company."
"I also received an order in Tianbao City. We need to sign the contract."
Huang Jingjing was instantly curious. What company was it? What order was it?
"Another deal? Good, that's great!" Chen Li's face was filled with joy. With these deals, there would be funds coming in. She wouldn't have to worry about the mortgage anymore.
"Son, where are you signing the contract? How much is it? Is it the same as last time, 100,000 yuan?" Chen Li began asking for details.
Huang Jingjing was surprised and couldn't help but see Chen Li in a different light. "What business is Chen Li's family doing silently? One contract is actually worth 100,000 yuan."
Li Chengqian said over the phone, "We're signing a contract with the provincial police station. The contract this time is not 100,000 yuan. Mother, don't be too surprised. You have to be mentally prepared. The amount is a little big."
"It's fine. I just heard from someone that their annual salary is 1.2 million yuan or 5 million yuan, so don't worry. How much is it?" Chen Li looked at Huang Jingjing with a smile. She felt that there was nothing more shocking than this.
"The contract amount is 10.8 million!" Li Chengqian said.
"How much?" Chen Li thought that she had heard wrongly. Her voice trembled as she spoke in disbelief.
When Huang Jingjing heard this number, she suddenly stood up from the sofa and looked at Chen Li in shock.
"Mom, you didn't hear wrongly. It's 10.8 million yuan! Because we have to sign the contract with the provincial office early tomorrow morning, you and dad have to bring the necessary things over today."
"Be careful on the road. I'm going to the competition soon."
"I gotta go now." After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he hung up.
Chen Li was exhilarated. Everything felt like a dream to her.
Ten million was a number she didn't even dare to think about in the past.
This news was too shocking for her. She needed time to digest it.
While Chen Li was still holding her phone and digesting this piece of news, Huang Jingjing said gingerly, "Chen Li, could your son have met a scammer?"
Huang Jingjing couldn't accept that the ordinary-looking Chen Li had the ability to sign a 10 million yuan contract.
Forget about Chen Li, even her husband, who drew a high salary of one million yuan a year, might not even be able to negotiate 100,000 yuan worth of business, let alone 10 million yuan.
"No, no. My son is signing a contract with the provincial police department." Chen Li finally came back to her senses when she heard Huang Jingjing's voice. Her face was flushed and she was extremely excited.
"What kind of contract are you signing with the provincial police? Ten million yuan?" Huang Jingjing still didn't believe it and asked suspiciously.
"My son developed a data restoration software. It's very useful," Chen Li said proudly. She could hear the disbelief in Huang Jingjing's tone, so she was prepared to explain.
"A few days ago, we signed a contract with the Tianyi City Bureau. The money has been transferred to our account. It's 100,000 yuan a year."
"Perhaps the Tianyi City Bureau found it useful and informed the provincial office, so the provincial office wanted to buy the software too." As Chen Li spoke, she took out the contract she had signed with the Tianyi City Bureau and handed it to Huang Jingjing. She flipped to the signature page to show Huang Jingjing the bright red official seal of the Tianyi City Bureau.
"It's actually true!" Huang Jingjing looked at Chen Li in shock.
"Chen Li, you'll soon become a multimillionaire." Huang Jingjing's voice was filled with jealousy. After thinking of the value Li Chengqian had mentioned on the phone, her heart started beating wildly. She looked at Chen Li with envy and jealousy.
At the same time, embarrassment appeared on her face.
She had just bragged to Chen Li about her husband's high income.
Within moments, she realized that Chen Li's family's income was actually higher than her husband's.
Moreover, although her husband was a mid-level manager, he was only an employee. As for Chen Li, whom she had always despised, she had already become a boss.
"Chen Li, you're really lucky to have such a capable son. You don't have to worry for the rest of your life," Huang Jingjing said enviously, her eyes filled with jealousy.
"That's true, my son is indeed quite capable." Chen Li was beaming. "Sister Huang, I'm sorry. I can't keep you company today. I have to pack my things and rush to Tianbao City. I can't hold up the contract signing."
"Alright, go ahead." There was already reverence in Huang Jingjing's voice.
…
At this moment, Li Chengqian and the others had already arrived at the entrance of the Big Data Center under Tian Wenming's lead.
He Hongyun had a worried look on his face as he stood at the entrance of the Big Data Center and waited.
Ever since he returned home, his mother and him have been trying to contact He Jingguo to no avail.
They have tried all means they could think of, but just couldn't contact him.
Her mother had already gone to the provincial office to look for his father while he came to the competition.
"He Hongyun, what's wrong? Why are you so distracted?" Bi Jialiang asked softly when he saw He Hongyun's expression.
"It's none of your business," He Hongyun replied curtly.
"What's wrong with you…" Bi Jialiang said unhappily.
Tian Wenming frowned. He disliked He Hongyun's personality more and more.
However, as He Hongyun was his old classmate's child, he really couldn't say much.
"Alright, quiet down. The hands-on programming test is about to begin. This test is team based. Everyone has to go in."
"The hands-on programming test requires you to turn practical problems into mathematical problems."
"And then use programming to solve the mathematical problem."
"Programming ability is important, but so is mathematical ability."
"You have to work together as a team!"
"Alright, quickly enter the competition hall." Tian Wenming pointed into the competition hall.
Li Chengqian and Zhao Peng were chatting and laughing as they walked into the hall. This was extremely irritating to He Hongyun's ears.
"Li Chengqian, don't be smug. I'll definitely beat you in hands-on programming… Just you wait!" He Hongyun said coldly and walked forward quickly.
Bi Jialiang and Jian Qingli quickly caught up.
"This fool! He's asking for it." Zhao Peng looked at three of them from the back and laughed out loud.
