They're already in university, and the primary school system is only just starting out?

Chapter 98 Sun Yu's Progress

After assigning Huang Yiyi her tasks, Chen Lin's gaze fell on Sun Yu, who had been standing to the side, looking somewhat at a loss.

To be honest, Chen Lin was initially quite worried about how to arrange things for Sun Yu.

The company currently has neither clients nor business. Huang Yiyi has clear administrative tasks, but what can Sun Yu do?

We can't just let him sit in this empty office all day, can we?

Chen Lin even had a thought: why not let Sun Yu slack off for a few days? After all, a monthly salary of eight thousand yuan is nothing to him right now.

But as soon as the thought popped into his head, he nipped it in the bud.

Huang Yiyi is diligently planning the company's development, while Sun Yu is slacking off and watching the show. What's going on here?

Just as Chen Lin was racking his brains, thinking about whether to make up a "market research" task for Sun Yu, Sun Yu seemed to see through his thoughts, took a step forward, and spoke somewhat hesitantly.

"Mr. Chen, I also have something to report to you."

"Oh?" Chen Lin immediately became interested and looked at him curiously. "Go on."

Sun Yu carefully took out a printed document from his backpack and handed it to Chen Lin, explaining, "Mr. Chen, this was specifically given to me by General Manager Peng when I was leaving the design institute a few days ago. It's a client list, all of which are companies that have had in-depth cooperation with Tiansheng Group and are very reliable in terms of reputation and strength. General Manager Peng's point is that these clients could potentially become a source of business for Yanhai in the future."

Chen Lin took the list and glanced at it briefly. He found that it listed as many as twenty or thirty companies, covering a wide range of industries, from traditional foreign trade and manufacturing to cutting-edge Internet biomedicine.

"So, my thoughts these past two days are," Sun Yu's tone became much more confident, clearly indicating that he already had his own plan, "I want to first thoroughly study all the companies on this list. I want to understand their main businesses, industry backgrounds, and potential technological pain points."

He paused, scratching his head somewhat sheepishly: "After all, my expertise is limited, and it's impossible for me to understand the technical needs of all fields. I need to first filter out those clients whose needs I can understand and who I can accurately translate into mathematical problems that you can solve. This way, we can accurately take on business and ensure everything goes smoothly."

After listening to Sun Yu's well-organized plan, Chen Lin's expression gradually changed from initial curiosity to undisguised surprise and admiration.

Sure, Sun Yu!

It's only been a few days since I last saw him, and this kid has already evolved from a corporate slave who could only passively accept instructions into a qualified employee who can proactively think and plan his work!

It seems that Chen Lin was right about the person.

"Excellent!" Chen Lin patted Sun Yu's shoulder forcefully, his tone full of encouragement. "Your idea is absolutely right, let's do it your way!"

He handed the list back to Sun Yu, thought for a moment, and then added a sentence.

"Take your time to research, there's no rush. When filtering through the businesses you can understand, remember one principle."

Chen Lin looked at Sun Yu, a meaningful smile appearing on his lips.

"Don't worry about the technical difficulty, just pick the one that pays the most."

After arranging Huang Yiyi and Sun Yu's work, Chen Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Watching the two of them, one rapidly listing purchase orders in his notebook and the other diligently studying a customer directory, he felt a real sense of "being a boss" for the first time.

Hmm, not bad, it has that vibe.

He nodded in satisfaction and began to plan his work.

First and foremost, of course, is that graduation thesis that was just one step away from completion.

Director Guo Qizhi had already told him that as long as he submitted the complete thesis and Professor Gu Ming approved it, it would be officially finished, and the defense process would be skipped.

Principal Chang Kai will handle all the remaining procedures for early graduation; he only needs to sign a few documents at the time.

As for another more important matter, he had already made a clear plan for the research on the major topic of "Manifold Boundaries and Illusion Control in Generative Models".

Previously at home, he would spend three hours straight before going to bed every day, engaging in intensive "little mathematician" state research.

While such extreme focus can maximize efficiency, the short-term fatigue after the research is over is also very real.

It felt like my brain had been completely emptied out, and all I wanted to do was collapse and sleep immediately.

Now that the company is established, he plans to shift his research time to the daytime.

In order not to affect his other work during the day, he decided to shorten his daily research time to two and a half hours.

In this way, the continuity of research can be guaranteed while keeping mental exhaustion within an acceptable range, so that you don't end up like a salted fish that just wants to lie down after finishing your research.

Tuesday, August 19th, 10:8 AM.

Yannan University, second floor of the co-working space.

Huang Yiyi's work efficiency is astonishing.

Just one day later, a detailed list of office equipment to be purchased was neatly laid out in front of Chen Lin.

When Chen Lin picked it up, he saw that the list was very professionally made. It not only listed the name, model and quantity of all the items, but also included detailed parameters, prices, and even clearly indicated which channel to purchase from to get the lowest price.

The main purchase item is, of course, the computer equipment that Chen Lin specifically emphasized yesterday.

There are eight workstations, and each workstation is built to top-of-the-line standards.

An i9 processor, a 5090 graphics card, 64GB of RAM, and a 2TB SSD—the price of just one desktop computer exceeds 40,000 yuan. Add to that two 32-inch 4K high refresh rate curved gaming screens, a top-of-the-line mechanical keyboard, and an ergonomic mouse, and the equipment cost for one workstation approaches 50,000 yuan.

In addition to what Chen Lin requested, Huang Yiyi thoughtfully added two more items to the list.

A high-speed laser all-in-one printer that integrates printing, copying, and scanning is placed in a corner of the office for everyone's convenient access.

The other item is a cute anime-style lucky cat figurine.

"This is great!" Chen Lin pointed to the picture of the lucky cat, his eyes lighting up.

This lucky cat has deviated from the traditional design and has been redesigned as a Q version of a calico cat wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a suit, and a "everything is under control" expression. It looks both professional and has a cute contrast, which perfectly matches the company image that Chen Lin set for Yan Hai, which is professional yet lively.

Most importantly, it has a good meaning!

Chen Lin has always preferred to believe in such mystical gadgets that supposedly bring good luck rather than dismiss them outright.

He flipped to the last page of the list and glanced at the total price.

Total: 487,560 yuan

Less than 300,000 is well within an acceptable range.

Chen Lin put down the list, looked up at the graceful Huang Yiyi beside him, and showed undisguised admiration on his face.

See, that's what professionalism looks like!

That monthly salary of 30,000 yuan is totally worth it!
