Chapter 103 OCR Manual Inquiry

When it came to December, Lin Yuan got another salary increase.

Haotuan took the initiative to ask for an increase in the amount of non-compete compensation. In addition, the non-compete compensation, which was originally to be paid after one year of employment, was brought forward to this year, starting from September when employees joined the company.

Lin Yuan’s non-compete compensation was increased to 30 yuan per year, and he received the non-compete compensation for the first three months in early December.

With an average of 30 per month, Lin Yuan’s salary increased from 42K to 67K.

This is certainly not because the good group is merciful, but because their research institute has been working on Lin Yuan's food delivery algorithm for almost three months and still has no clue.

For this reason, the good group must stabilize Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan was not without worries due to the sudden salary increase.

Because even though Haotuan paid five insurances and one fund for Lin Yuan according to the highest standards, Lin Yuan's monthly personal income tax still exceeded one thousand.

Thinking about giving away one W every month for nothing, he felt extremely painful. Lin Yuan, who had always been highly conscious, felt his Dao heart loosen for the first time.

He grew up in a poor family, and the memory of lack of money is deeply ingrained in him.

After a complicated ideological struggle, Lin Yuan finally got over the pain of paying 10,000 yuan every month.

Compared with this little bit of pain, what is more terrifying is his idea of being content with a small fortune.

Who says cheats are so cool? No matter how bad a cheat is, it is still a cheat. Lin Yuan only used it for a little while, and he was about to reach the threshold of financial freedom (at least for a loser like him).

If he continues at the current pace, Lin Yuan can foresee that he will take root in the Internet field as an IT tycoon and then just wait to count the money.

What's the point of struggling?

He had already imagined a happy and peaceful life with Xia Ye, his wife and children.

So when his instructor talked to him about fishing OCR, Lin Yuan was not in the mood.

He asked himself honestly, and realized that helping his mentor with OCR fishing was mixed with a bit of selfish motives - just to cling to his mentor.

Although the idea of benefiting the world would pop up in his mind from time to time, the land of peace and tranquility before him was too beautiful, and Lin Yuan's fighting spirit was gradually waning day by day.

When the two most desired things, money and girls, are obtained, the loser mentality gradually begins to take effect.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan admired his mentor even more. God knows what kind of mental journey his mentor has, he still has the heart of an angry young man at such an old age.

Lin Yuan gradually began to understand Dean Li. He was old, why not just wait for retirement? Why bother doing something weird? Unless he saw hope of making a further step forward, it was worth the trouble.

When this thought popped up in Lin Yuan's mind, he suddenly felt a deep fear.

"I actually empathized with Dean Li, that 24K pure old man?" Lin Yuan suddenly realized that he was being subtly influenced by economic laws. What was even more terrifying was that he seemed to be on the verge of sinking.

At this moment, he finally realized the essence of the eight-character mantra -- don't forget your original intention and keep your history in mind.

'I've only succeeded a little bit, and my original intention has begun to waver. I'm not a human being...'

Lin Yuan recalled a famous saying from history: A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step.

Lin Yuan’s journey of a hundred miles had only just begun and was far from ninety.

Only then did Lin Yuan realize the weight of the word "original intention".

No wonder so many saints and wise men from ancient times to the present keep talking about it. The core of their conversation is actually just one sentence - people should not forget the way they came.

However, the principle is easy to understand but difficult to put into practice.

The monthly income of tens of thousands was enough for her to spend. Xia Ye's body was enough for Lin Yuan to covet for the rest of his life.

So what is the meaning of future struggle?
Lin Yuan then fell into a faint confusion again, a confusion shrouded by a sense of happiness.

There were always two voices in his heart. One voice told him, "You've suffered so much for so many years, it's time to enjoy yourself." The other voice kept reminding him, "You're doing it wrong." It was during this dilemma that Lin Yuan received his first manual inquiry from OCR.

It was an ordinary morning. Lin Yuan woke up as usual. He subconsciously picked up his phone because he and Xia Ye had the habit of visiting each other morning and evening - every day started with a good morning muah and ended with a good night muah.

Unexpectedly, below Xia Ye’s mua expression, there was a message from an OCR application specialist.

[Mr. Lin, when are you free for us to chat? ]

Today, Lin Yuan has increased the mining time of OCR computing equipment to 50%, which is already blatant and is just short of making a big fuss.

During these three months, OCR only sent him some formal inquiry emails.

The content of the email was naturally to remind Lin Yuan that the other party's background monitoring had detected anomalies in the computing power equipment, and that he must use the free computing power equipment correctly.

Lin Yuan always followed his tutor's instructions and replied to these emails seriously.

After five rounds of emails, the manual inquiry finally came.

Lin Yuan immediately typed, [You can do it now.]

Then he remembered his mentor's instructions - to play hard to get.

So he quickly deleted the content and retyped it, [What exactly do you want to ask? ]

[It's just a routine follow-up visit. It will take some time. We'll do it when Lin is free.]

Lin Yuan deliberately acted anxious - he kept typing and deleting. He repeated this for more than a minute. This was because it would let the other party see that his status was always "the other party is typing..."

[Okay, wait for me to go eat breakfast first.] After Lin Yuan performed, he first kept the other party hanging, and then immediately called the instructor. Then, under the instructor's instructions, he went straight to the instructor's office.

When Lin Yuan stepped into the tutor's office, Dean Li was already there. From the other person's eyes behind his glasses, Lin Yuan read the burning desire. This old Deng seemed to be many years younger.

"You haven't had breakfast yet. What do you want to eat? I'll ask someone to buy it for you." Dean Li said as he pulled Lin Yuan to sit on the sofa.

For Lin Yuan at this age, it's okay to skip breakfast. "Teacher, Dean, I still have classes this morning."

"Hey, no one dares to deduct your usual points. What do you want to eat?"

Seeing Dean Li's concerned look, Lin Yuan casually replied, "One meat bun, one vegetable bun, and a cup of soy milk."

Dean Li immediately made a phone call, and the tone of the call was naturally that of a leader. After giving a series of instructions, he looked at Lin Yuan with concern again.

How could Lin Yuan not know what to do? "I stabilized the other side first. I didn't know what to say, so I called the teacher first."

"You did the right thing. Come on, turn on your phone." Dean Li almost pushed Lin Yuan onto the sofa.

Professor Zhang also came over at this time, "Hey~~, don't come up with any bad ideas again. You weren't smart enough back then."

"I'm afraid he'll be exposed," Dean Li retorted.

"You are adding unnecessary details. Lin Yuan is just playing the role of a rural kid who is short of money. If you give him instructions, it will be easy to expose your true identity."

"I also came from the countryside, how could I not understand?"

"You did come from the countryside decades ago, but you have been in power for too long. So you should just stay away, just like you clung to us back then."

"Why did I cling to you guys back then? If I hadn't been there, would you have been able to get the stuff out?"

Professor Zhang recalled, "That's right, you are really good at playing a traitor."

"Go~~" Although Dean Li was dissatisfied, he still sat aside obediently. Then he picked up the thermos cup with wolfberries on the table and said, "I won't watch it anymore. Is that okay?"

Professor Zhang then gestured to Lin Yuan, "Just get started when you're ready. Don't be nervous, and put yourself in the most difficult period of your life."
