Rebirth of Bloody Romance

The sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains, flowing like a golden stream, sprinkling on Zhong Yuemin's body, outlining his resolute features and deep eyes. He squinted his eyes slightly, raised his head, and looked over the windowsill at Liu Lianxiang who was standing at the door.

Liu Lianxiang stood there quietly, his figure blurred by the bright light. He held something tightly in his hand, looking a little nervous, as if he was afraid of losing the precious treasure in his hand.

"Teacher Zhong, what do you think of this?" Liu Lianxiang's voice was filled with a bit of anticipation and uneasiness. He carefully took out a small package tightly wrapped in soft paper from his arms, as if it contained the most precious treasure in the world. He carefully unfolded the paper package, his movements gentle and cautious, for fear of damaging the items inside.

Seeing how Liu Lianxiang cherished it, Zhong Yuemin became more curious. When he saw the floppy disk in Liu Lianxiang's hand, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect it to be made so quickly. This small disk, although only a few inches in size, contains endless information and possibilities.

Zhong Yuemin took the floppy disk and slid his fingertips lightly across the smooth plastic surface, feeling the weak magnetism emitted by the magnetic material coated on it. This is not just a physical storage medium, but also a door to another world, a data ocean that leads to infinite possibilities.

As storage devices on PCs, floppy disks and floppy drives play an important role in the history of PC development. Since their introduction in 1971, their annual sales have exceeded hundreds of millions.

At that time, the computer operating system was still in the DOS era, and floppy disks became the only supported removable storage medium. This shows how huge the market potential of floppy disks was.

At this moment, Liu Lianxiang noticed a small movement of Zhong Yuemin - he was gently scraping the edge of the floppy disk. This discovery made Liu Lianxiang's face suddenly become extremely ugly, and he looked panicked.

"Teacher Zhong, please be gentle. If the floppy disk gets scratched, it will be unusable!" His voice was full of anxiety and uneasiness, and his eyes were fixed on the floppy disk in Zhong Yuemin's hand, not daring to relax at all.

Hearing this, Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but stop what he was doing, then looked at Liu Lianxiang helplessly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile. "Old Liu, look how nervous you are. I think your nervousness is probably even stronger than when you pursued the first girl." There was a hint of sarcasm in his words, which made people laugh.

Zhong Yuemin suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Old Liu, is this a 5.25-inch floppy disk?"

Liu Lenovo nodded with a confident smile on his face. "Yes, the popular ones on the market now are 5.25-inch floppy disks with a capacity of 893kb!" His eyes flashed with persistence in technology, and he seemed confident in his choice.

However, Zhong Yuemin shook his head gently, his eyes became deep and firm. "Old Liu, you are wrong. Technology is like sailing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind. Although 5.25-inch floppy disks are very popular now, look at Sony and other companies. They have already launched smaller and larger 3.5-inch floppy disks. We can't just be satisfied with the current achievements. We need to look further ahead."

Zhong Yuemin paused and continued, "We must keep up with the pace of the times and develop according to Sony's standards. Only in this way can we remain invincible in future market competition, otherwise we will be eliminated sooner or later."

"Moreover," Zhong Yuemin continued, his tone gradually becoming serious and heavy, as if he was carrying a sense of mission and responsibility.

"Although 893KB of memory may be barely enough in the current domestic market, it is insignificant and lacks competitiveness in the global market. We cannot be satisfied with the status quo and must have higher aspirations and goals. You need to develop a storage solution of at least 1MB or more. Only in this way can you remain invincible in the increasingly fierce market competition."

Liu Lianxiang listened to Zhong Yuemin's words quietly, and the anxiety and uneasiness on his face were gradually replaced by deep thought. He nodded slightly to show his agreement and said with emotion, "Teacher Zhong, you are so right!"

"Yes, that's right. The speed of technological development is beyond our imagination. If we don't keep up with the times and continue to innovate and progress, we will soon be ruthlessly eliminated."

Zhong Yuemin gently patted Liu Lianxiang on the shoulder and said with a firm and confident look, "We can't just look at the immediate benefits, we must have a long-term vision and the courage to break through ourselves and surpass our limits. Only in this way can we gain a firm foothold in the wave of science and technology and achieve greater success."

Liu Lianxiang nodded vigorously, his eyes flashing with determination. "Okay, Mr. Zhong, I'll listen to you on this. Indeed, 3.5-inch floppy disks are the trend of the future. I also noticed that big companies such as IBM are moving in this direction. We have to keep up with this trend to avoid being eliminated by the times."

Zhong Yuemin nodded with satisfaction, his eyes revealing his recognition of Liu Lianxiang. "You have foresight, Lao Liu. We in the technical field must have this kind of forward-looking vision. But, by the way, how is the current situation of your Hanka? I heard that you have been very busy recently."

Liu Lianxiang's expression dimmed a little, but he cheered up again. "As for Hanka, it's relatively stable. We recently undertook a technical service project for the Chinese Academy of Sciences. They purchased 500 IBM computers, which is a big order for us. We can make at least 70 yuan, which is undoubtedly an important capital injection for our newly established company."

At this point, Liu Lianxiang frowned slightly, revealing his inner worries. "However, Mr. Zhong, you also know that we now have more than a dozen people in our new company waiting for meals. Although this 70 yuan can solve our immediate needs, in the long run, we still need more business and technological innovation to support the company's development."

Zhong Yuemin heard this and said after a moment's silence, "Old Liu, I understand your concerns. But don't forget, we are doing something meaningful. Technological innovation takes time and patience. Every effort you make now is laying the foundation for the future."

Zhong Yuemin stood up, walked to the window, looked at the busy city outside, and continued, "Moreover, opportunities always come to those who are prepared. Look at IBM, didn't they also develop step by step from a small company? As long as we maintain our love and pursuit of technology, and continue to learn and innovate, I believe that one day we will also have a place in the industry."

Liu Lianxiang was deeply touched by Zhong Yuemin's words. He stood up and looked at Zhong Yuemin firmly. "Teacher Zhong, you are right. I can't just see the difficulties in front of me, but also see the hope for the future. We will continue to work hard and lead our comrades to a broader world."

"Is there no technical difficulty?" Zhong Yuemin's voice revealed his deep concern for the Han Card project. Although the profits are tempting, the stability of the technology is what he values ​​most.

Liu Lianxiang smiled proudly upon hearing this. He patted his chest and said confidently, "No problem, Mr. Zhong. We have invited a heavyweight from the Computer Institute. With his participation, the technical problems will naturally be solved. Moreover, according to the contract, we can use the patents of the Computer Institute free of charge, which has brought great convenience to our research and development work."

Zhong Yuemin's heart moved, and he had guessed the identity of the old expert, but he still pretended to be ignorant and asked, "Oh? Who is it? Do I know him?"

Liu Lianxiang smiled and nodded. "Teacher Zhong, you should have heard of his name, Academician Ni Guangnan. He is a leading figure in the computer field. It took me a lot of effort to invite him to come out. But seeing his passion and dedication to technology, I think it's all worth it."

Zhong Yuemin nodded when he heard this. "Old Liu, you are really capable. You can invite top talents like Academician Ni Guangnan, which shows that you value talents. Respecting talents, respecting science, and respecting intellectuals, such a company will have a future and can go further."

Zhong Yuemin paused and continued, "With the addition of Academician Ni, I am full of confidence in the future of Hanka. However, we must also be clear that technological leadership is only temporary. Only by continuous innovation can we maintain our competitive advantage. Therefore, I hope you can continue to increase investment in research and development and remain sensitive to new technologies and trends."

Liu Lianxiang listened carefully to Zhong Yuemin's teachings. "Teacher Zhong, don't worry, I will keep your teachings in mind and lead the company forward. With the guidance and support of Academician Ni, we are confident that we will make greater breakthroughs in technology."

Zhong Yuemin thought to himself that he was always prepared for all kinds of changes that might occur in the future. Thinking of the possible irreconcilable contradictions between Liu Lianxiang and Academician Ni Guangnan, he felt that he had to personally come forward to establish a good relationship with Academician Ni and lay a solid foundation for future cooperation.

"Old Liu, please help me make an appointment with Mr. Ni. I want to invite him to dinner and have a good chat." Zhong Yuemin said to Liu Lianxiang, his tone revealing a bit of sincerity and expectation.

Liu Lianxiang immediately understood Zhong Yuemin's intention after hearing this. He nodded and agreed. "No problem, Mr. Zhong. I'll arrange it right away. However, I have some things to deal with in the evening, so I may not be able to go with you."

Zhong Yuemin waved his hand to show his understanding. "It's okay, just go do your thing. I'll be waiting for Mr. Ni at Zui Xiang Lou at 6pm."

Liu Xiang responded, turned around and left, and began to arrange a meeting with Academician Ni Guangnan.

In the evening, Zui Xiang Lou was brightly lit and bustling with people. Zhong Yuemin arrived at the agreed box in advance. He deliberately chose a place with an elegant environment and a warm atmosphere, hoping to leave a good impression on Mr. Ni.

Soon, Academician Ni Guangnan arrived as scheduled. He was wearing a simple shirt and casual pants, looking approachable and not at all arrogant. Zhong Yuemin quickly stood up to greet him and shook hands with Ni enthusiastically.

"Mr. Ni, I have heard of your name for a long time. It is my great honor to finally meet you today!" Zhong Yuemin said with a smile, his tone full of admiration and respect for Mr. Ni.

Academician Ni Guangnan also responded with a smile. "Comrade Zhong, you are too polite. I have heard Liu Lianxiang mention you a long time ago, saying that you are a very visionary and courageous teacher. After meeting you today, I can see that you are indeed worthy of your reputation."

"Mr. Ni, you are too polite. Just call me Xiao Zhong."

After the two sat down, the waiter began to serve the dishes. Zhong Yuemin specially ordered a few dishes that Mr. Ni liked, hoping to make this dinner more enjoyable. During the meal, they talked about the prospects of technological development, industry trends, and future plans for the Hanka project. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

Just as Zhong Yuemin was about to continue discussing the future with Mr. Ni, there was a sudden noise outside.

Zhong Yuemin also heard Song Xiangjun's voice, and stood up and said, "Mr. Ni, the person outside seems to be my colleague. I'll go see what's going on."

Ni Guangnan nodded. "Okay, go quickly." Then he followed him out of the private room.

Zhong Yuemin came to the corridor and saw Song Xiangjun arguing with a man.

It turned out that Song Xiangjun was in a bad mood and came to Zui Xiang Lou to drink some "Forget Worry Wine". Unexpectedly, she ran into her husband who wanted to divorce her, and the two had a dispute.

The man pointed at Song Xiangjun and cursed without any hesitation, "You stinky bitch, I don't want you anymore and I want to divorce you, what can you do?"

Song Xiangjun responded without showing any weakness. "Divorce if you want, who's afraid of who?"

The two quarreled more and more fiercely, and the man even pushed Song Xiangjun. Zhong Yuemin couldn't stand this scene, he immediately rushed over and grabbed the man's wrist, and said coldly, "Grandson, it's wrong to hit a woman."

The diners around were also attracted by this scene and cast curious glances. Academician Ni Guangnan followed Zhong Yuemin out of the private room and frowned when he saw this scene, obviously dissatisfied with this violent behavior.

Seeing this, the man stubbornly retorted, "Who the hell are you? This is a matter between us, what's your business?"

"It's a matter between husband and wife?" Zhong Yuemin sneered. "Since you want a divorce, you should talk it over properly. What's the point of hitting someone? Besides, whether you divorce or not, she is not someone you can just hit or scold."

The man's companions saw the man being bullied and gathered around him. "Let him go."

"The grandson who came out of there dares to meddle in everything."

"That's right, he's still trying to be a hero and save the damsel in distress."

Faced with the siege and provocation from the man's companions, Zhong Yuemin did not retreat. He stood tall and straight with a firm look in his eyes, like an unshakable mountain.

Zhong Yuemin ignored the shouting of those people, and turned to ask Song Xiangjun again. "Teacher Song, are you okay?"

Song Xiangjun felt Zhong Yuemin's care and a warm current surged in her heart. She shook her head, her voice soft but full of power. "Yuemin, I'm fine. Thank you!"

Zhong Yuemin smiled slightly. That smile contained both comfort for Song Xiangjun and disdain for the group of people in front of him. "Why are you being so polite to me? We are colleagues and friends. Let's see who dares to bully me."

"Okay! Are you two having an affair? Let's cut him up."
