I am weak and friendly

Chapter 43 Ten Fears of Becoming a City Hero

"Nothing much," Liu Chengyuan said, gently patting Tang Yiping's hand. "I just came to thank you. I haven't fully recovered yet, so I'll visit your home in a couple of days to express my gratitude."

"Ah, no need..." Tang Yiping scratched his ear. "I don't want my dad to know..."

“I’ll just say you helped me with something else, and then we can discuss it,” Liu Chengyuan said. Then he changed the subject, looked around, and said, “Tang, this is where you’re interning.”

In the conference room, the green ivy in the corner drooped its leaves; a note on the coffee machine read "Broken, beware of burns," and even the note was yellowed; the off-white conference table was covered with coffee stains, layered like tree rings.

Coupled with the dilapidated and desolate scene when we arrived, everything indicated that the company was not being run well.

"Do you want to come back with me? I'll help you find a better internship." Liu Chengyuan asked.

Next to him, Bao Ge was standing in the corner next to the broken coffee machine.

He was still in a state of inexplicable shock.

What? Tang Yiping actually fought off two thugs with knives who were trying to rob him all by himself?
No!
Our Tang Yiping? One person? Two blond-haired guys?

Although Bao Ge had never seen those two blond-haired guys, those reckless blond-haired guys who dared to rob with knives were in the late stages of puberty. They were all strong and reckless, and they were probably more than one person could take on two of him when he was in a sub-healthy state.

Rounding up? Tang Yiping could probably take on four of himself?

Holy crap, I was just planning to take Tang Yiping to the conference room and kill him to silence him?
Bao Ge was sweating profusely and trembling.

Moreover, he discovered that these seemingly important figures appeared to be seeking favors from Professor Liu.

He suddenly remembered a rumor that the city had approved a new agricultural technology industrial park project, which was said to be related to food security, a strategic project, and aimed at a market worth hundreds of billions of yuan. It seemed to be designed for a big shot who was about to achieve results. Then he thought of the name Liu Chengyuan and it suddenly made sense.

Wow, that's amazing!

Holy crap, did Professor Liu start thinking about quitting because he was robbed by two blond-haired thugs?
The phoenix trees were all planted, but they couldn't keep the golden phoenix. That's so tragic!

You people are the historical sinners of Hailing City! I despise you!

Bao Ge, who had just almost killed Tang Yiping to silence him, thought to himself.

But when he heard that Liu Chengyuan was going to take Tang Yiping away, he immediately became happy again.

Sigh, let's go, let's go. Our company is too awful, unworthy of the noble Tang Yiping. We're so sorry! Take him away! Take him away! Then I won't have to kill him to cover it up!

Hearing Liu Chengyuan say this, the man in the white shirt was also very anxious. He couldn't directly offer advice, so he could only say, "Hey, how can we trouble Professor Liu with this? Tang is a hero of our city. It's only right that we should handle this. Hey, Xiao Hu, don't we have many star companies in our development zone?"

“Yes, yes, yes!” Xiao Hu, who was in his forties, who had been standing in the corner, quickly stepped forward and replied, “Shenshu Technology, Jiezhi Changxing, and Zhihui Kaiyuan are all in our development zone. They are all top-tier companies in China, and even well-known worldwide. Shenshu Technology is in this park, not far away. If you are interested, Tang, I can take you to visit. It’s very convenient.”

That means that Tang Yiping only needs to nod, and the arrangements will be made immediately.

Bao Ge stood in the corner: "Yes, yes, our company is nobody, not even close to being worthy of the distinguished Tang Yiping. We're truly sorry. Take him away, take him away!"

"Xiao Hu, please take the trouble to show Tang around a few places. Let's do it today so Tang can choose carefully." The man in the white shirt smiled broadly. "Then... Professor Liu, shall we go together? Could you give Tang your opinion? An internship is a big deal!"

It was clear that he didn't want to miss any opportunity to change Professor Liu's mind.

"It's not hard work, it's not hard work at all. It's Tang who's working hard," said Xiao Hu, who is forty years old.

"Hey, no, are you serious?" Bao Ge suddenly had a thought and became a little anxious. Just now he only wanted to kill Tang Yiping, but now that Tang Yiping was really going to be taken away, he suddenly realized that the company was still counting on Tang Yiping.

Tang Yiping is currently the strongest programmer in the company besides Ze Ge. What will happen to the company's project restructuring without Tang Yiping?
Then I'll have to ask for help online again! Is it enough to support my family while driving a ride-hailing car, delivering food, and operating a sewing machine?
His eyes darted around and finally found the company's COO in a corner, hoping he could come up with a solution.

Well, the COO was even more flustered than him. He had a lot to say, but dared not speak, and could only stammer, "Um... um..."

Seeing that no one paid him any attention, he could only raise his voice and say, "Dear leaders, Tang is a key technical member of our company... You can't just take him away from us."

Upon hearing this, forty-year-old Xiao Hu nodded approvingly, then waved his hand slightly, as if to say, "You've done a good job of praising me! But you can step down as a tool now!"

"No, Director Hu, Tang is truly a key technical member of our company. Our business depends entirely on him..." The COO was anxious; this was a matter of livelihood! He couldn't be fooled.

Ok?
At least half the people in the room turned their attention back to Tang Yiping.

This fair-skinned young man in a wheelchair? A key technical expert? Really? I don't believe it!

"Yiping, what do you think?" Liu Chengyuan asked Tang Yiping, "Should we go somewhere else?"

"No need, Uncle!" Tang Yiping said, "I think our company is great! I especially like it here!"

In the past, Tang Yiping would have definitely said, "Go away!"

I dream of going there!
Although companies like Shenshu Technology are not traditional large companies, their employees probably receive better compensation than those in ordinary large companies.

Tang Yiping heard that some senior students who interned at large companies had earned over a thousand yuan a day. That was roughly ten times his own internship salary.

However, Tang Yiping is really reluctant to leave now.

Our company has such a great atmosphere! Even though it looks like it could go bankrupt at any moment and everyone's morale is low, the atmosphere is incredibly charming.

Moreover, they are all talented individuals, not only are they eloquent, but they are also incredibly versatile and capable of unleashing their full potential at any moment.

This is paradise!
Upon hearing Tang Yiping's words, almost everyone present showed disappointment on their faces.

Hey kid, can you do me a favor? Give us a chance to show our sincerity!
If Liu Chengyuan is a thoroughbred horse, then Tang Yiping is the horse's hoof on its bones—he can't help but sell it even if he doesn't want to.

“If you change your mind, just give me a call,” Liu Chengyuan said. “Although I’m not in the IT industry, I have a lot of classmates, and I can help recommend professors for my postgraduate entrance exams.”

“Okay, but how are you feeling, Uncle?” Tang Yiping turned to Liu Chengyuan.

From the moment he saw Liu Chengyuan, he sensed something was wrong with Liu Chengyuan and had been observing him closely. Just now, a notification finally popped up in front of his eyes:
—You have discerned the weakness of Liu Chengyuan, a Homo sapiens: [Secondary Epilepsy]

—In your insight into the weaknesses of Liu Chengyuan, a Homo sapiens, you discovered his abandoned abilities: [the courage taken from him], [the health taken from him], and [the ambition taken from him].

"To be honest, it's not good." Liu Chengyuan said with a wry smile, then looked at everyone present, "I'm sorry, everyone, please excuse my poor appearance. It's not that I don't want to stay, but my health condition may no longer allow me to continue."

“But I am already very content. If it weren’t for Yiping, I’m afraid I would…” As Liu Chengyuan said this, his right hand, which was holding Tang Yiping’s hand, suddenly tightened, gripping Tang Yiping’s right hand tightly. He twisted in the wheelchair, and his whole body convulsed violently.

— Congratulations! You have discerned and learned from Liu Chengyuan's weakness [secondary epilepsy].

Again!
Tang Yiping felt a sudden tightening in his right hand, and then his body began to convulse uncontrollably.
