Confession of Rebirth

While Gu Chen was pondering, he heard someone beside him ask: "Gu Chen, what are you painting?"

When Gu Chen came back to his senses, he saw senior Gao Haiyang sitting next to him, holding two cups of mandarin duck milk tea in his hand.

"It's for you." Gao Haiyang pushed one of the cups to Gu Chen: "My girlfriend bought it for us."

"Thank you." Gu Chen thanked softly, still staring at the manuscript paper.

Gao Haiyang looked at the manuscript paper in front of Gu Chen, there was a big trap and a small circle drawn on it, there were question marks and exclamation marks, and various horizontal and vertical lines, which he couldn't understand either.

"Gu Chen, have you drawn a mind map these two days?" Gao Haiyang asked Gu Chen.

"Draw it." Gu Chen handed the map he drew to Gao Haiyang.

"Only two!" Gao Haiyang paused, and asked Gu Chen cautiously: "Gu Chen, have you thought about publishing a book?"

"What book?" Gu Chen answered absently.

"It's the mind map of the Tax Law and the Economic Law," Gao Haiyang said.

"Don't be kidding. One of my students produced the mind map of "Tax Law" and "Economic Law", who will buy it!" Gu Chen smiled, thinking that this senior brother was too good at making jokes.

"How come no one buys it!" Seeing that Gu Chen didn't think so, Gao Haiyang hurriedly said: "There are not too many people who want to buy it! For example, students in our school who are preparing for the CPA exam. There are some who are in my class, and others Brothers and sisters who studied less than one and studied two. There are also my colleagues who are interns in the four majors, and many of them are preparing for the CPA exam. Including a few interns from other schools who practiced with me at the same time. And their classmates. Didn’t you draw before? A lot of mind maps. These maps have already spread.”

"Gu Chen, you don't know, your mind map is now famous. Everyone agrees that it is easier to use than many test preparation guides."

"What did you say?" Gu Chen suddenly recovered.

"I said your mind map is famous." Gao Haiyang repeated.

"Not this sentence."

Gao Haiyang thought for a while: "My colleagues in the Big Four and their classmates in the school, as long as they are preparing for the CPA exam, almost all of them are using your mind map."

When Gao Haiyang said this, he slapped his thigh and was a little excited: "So you really don't have to worry about this, we rely on word of mouth to promote. First collect orders, and then place orders with publishing houses and printing houses. The book number thing You don’t have to worry about it, my girlfriend, who is your senior sister, just happens to be an intern at A University’s publishing house. She can handle it. Let her be your publishing editor then. But she’s a girl and doesn’t know you well. It’s also not very convenient to go in and out of the men’s dormitory, so I’ll temporarily take over the editor’s duties and be responsible for handing over to you, mainly to urge you to complete the mind map of each book within the specified time.”

At the end of Gao Haiyang's speech, he finally "sees the picture poorly", revealing his real purpose - just to rationalize and urge Gu Chen to draw a picture.

Gu Chen was thoughtful: "You mean, many people are looking at my mind map now? Do they all know me?"

Gao Haiyang and You Rong replied: "Ang~"

Gu Chen asked: "Then how do they evaluate me?"

Gao Haiyang took a look at Gu Chen, and said with a suppressed smile, "I didn't expect that! Primary school boy, you look at Gao Leng, and you still have a famous heart. It's very boring!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Gu Chen's reaction, Gao Haiyang said with a smile: "How else can I comment! I just think that the elementary school boy is awesome!"

After a pause, Gao Haiyang said again: "Of course. If the elementary school students can draw the mind maps of the other four subjects after drawing "Tax Law" and "Economic Law", your image in our minds It's even more awesome."

Gu Chen thought for a while, then asked again: "Don't they know how the school passed me on?"

"You mean those messy gossip?" Gao Haiyang raised his eyebrows: "I wanted to talk about it before, but at that time, I felt that we didn't know each other very well, so I was embarrassed to say more. Now You have already asked, senior, I will remind you - stay away from the group of people in your dormitory as soon as possible. One by one, it is not very reliable. "

"...Normal people just start school, so they make up bad things about their roommates in such a big way. And because of a trivial matter, they have to complain to the instructor several times." And they still keep an eye on the real time, watching pictures and talking.Like gossip paparazzi.Gao Haiyang scratched the back of his head: "I won't talk about it during the military training. You didn't go to class anyway. You just didn't feel fresh when you first entered the school, and it's reasonable to like gossip. But after the formal class, there are still. I just I'm very curious." Who on earth is so disrespectful to Gu Chen.

There is still leisure time to devote energy to choreographing others.Is it because the group assignments are not written enough, or the credits are not enough.Gao Haiyang had complained to his roommates before, they wrote papers every day to take credits for postgraduate entrance exams, and they were so tired that the dog stuck out his tongue.I really envy the freshman juniors who are so energetic.

Gu Chen listened to Gao Haiyang's rant, thoughtful.That is to say, because Gao Haiyang helps him promote his mind map every day in his senior year, and even among seniors and seniors who are studying in graduate school, Gu Chen's reputation at school is actually not as bad as in his previous life?

Is the weakening of plot restrictions also related to this change?

Gao Haiyang looked at Gu Chen's expression, thought for a while, and issued an invitation: "There is a person in our dormitory who has moved out with his girlfriend since last semester. If you feel uncomfortable living in your dormitory, do you want to consider it?" Move to our dormitory all at once?"

In fact, Gao Haiyang had this idea for a long time, and discussed it with two other roommates, and got the consent of the roommate who rented a house outside.Everyone agreed that it would be good to invite Gu Chen to live in their dormitory.At least it is convenient to stare at the mind map.But Gao Haiyang never had the right opportunity to bring up this matter with Gu Chen.After all, this also involves Gu Chen's personal affairs - thanks to the inexplicable but extremely active gossip atmosphere in the freshman year, they all know that Gu Chen lives in the same dormitory with the younger brother adopted by the Gu family.

He also knew that Gu Chen's younger brother was quite close to the group of people who rejected Gu Chen.

This is a little tricky!

Gu Chen was silent.

Seeing this, Gao Haiyang said with a smile, "Hey, that's just my proposal, you can think about it slowly."

Gao Haiyang changed the subject and brought up the business again: "Have you thought about publishing the book?"

Gu Chen hesitated.

Upon seeing this, Gao Haiyang asked, "Do you have any concerns?"

"I just feel that I'm just a freshman, so I shouldn't be qualified to publish a book." Gu Chen paused, and then said: "And I don't know how to publish a book. This thing is quite troublesome. It is said that there will be non-stop Proofreading and revising. I probably don’t have much energy to do that either.”

"It's not troublesome at all." Gao Haiyang patted his chest and said, "As long as you don't object to this matter, I will handle the rest."

In other words, Gao Haiyang really tried his best to draw a few more mind maps in order to reasonably remind Gu Chen.It actually made him think of such an incredible idea to help Gu Chen publish a book.First, coax the girlfriend to help solve the publication number-in fact, this matter can also help her girlfriend.Now that the publishing industry is dying, the sales of physical books are not very high.Gao Haiyang's girlfriend, as the editor of the publishing house, also has the task of promoting new books by contracted authors every month.

Although Gu Chen is a freshman, his mind map has been promoted by Gao Haiyang, and there are quite a few people who just need it.At least [-] copies can be ordered.In order to persuade his girlfriend to help, Gao Haiyang also specifically lobbied his classmates and colleagues who were preparing for the CPA exam to book books—the latter was actually quite simple.After all, everyone has personally experienced the effect of Gu Chen's mind map.Now scattered and copied maps, let alone how high the cost of copying is, even the printed results are uneven, and it is not convenient to organize and summarize. It is far from the reading quality of the original book.

And Gao Haiyang has another concern - if he can't think of a way to mobilize Gu Chen's subjective initiative, Gu Chen just spends three days fishing and two days posting his mind map on the Internet, he is too embarrassed to push him too hard .After all, it was not Gu Chen who was in a hurry to investigate. "Tax Law" and "Economic Law" are at most two extracurricular readings for Gu Chen, who is just a freshman.In his spare time, he looked at the guides of calligraphy, painting and painting, and no one could ask Gu Chen to delay his work for drawing pictures.

What's worse is that after Gu Chen finishes reading these two books, if he doesn't want to continue publishing mind maps for the remaining four subjects, Gao Haiyang has no reason to urge him any longer.

Again, Gu Chen himself doesn't need to take the CPA exam.Gao Haiyang is soft-hearted, if he agrees to draw a picture, it is due to love, and if he does not want to draw, it is also his duty.Gu Chen just started school not long ago, and it's not that he doesn't have his own courses to learn, and he still has to write the thesis that Mr. Xing gave him.I have to go out to work part-time for two days on weekends, and I have to go to the basketball club to train every night.Every day, there are definitely no fewer things to be busy than them.

"...So we have to come up with a reasonable way to let Gu Chen draw pictures consciously. Let Gu Chen know that drawing the mind map of these six subjects is also good for him." Gao Haiyang persuaded his classmates and colleagues: "I think After much deliberation, we can only find a way to get him to publish books, and we spend money to buy books. Everyone is a fair supply and demand relationship."

Above, after Gao Haiyang managed his girlfriend and all potential client groups with his three-inch tongue.With everything in place, he came to fool Gu Chen again: "Think about it, you can publish a book just after you are a freshman, and help seniors and seniors who are in graduate school prepare for the CPA exam. This is so awesome. If we get the CPA by memorizing your mind map, everyone will appreciate you."

"And our school is now encouraging undergraduates to study with an academic attitude. If this matter is done well, it will also help you win national scholarships." Gao Haiyang tried his best to persuade Gu Chen: "Besides, don't you really like being famous? If we do this well, you will be really famous in University A, and even in the university circle of City A."

Gu Chen was silent.

Contrary to what Gao Haiyang thought, Gu Chen only cared about whether this would affect more characters in the plot.

Through the three plot nodes summarized before, Gu Chen carefully discovered that the attitude and choice of the characters in the plot are actually very important when going through the plot.At least it can resist part of the plot aura.

And if Gu Chen wanted to influence the choice of characters in the plot, he couldn't do it too simply and rudely.At least not noticeable by the plot aura.In other words, Gu Chen had to subtly influence the characters in the plot by changing himself.

How does it affect it?

Gu Chen carefully recalled the changes after rebirth, and recalled the two crucial plot points——

The basketball battle gave Huo Mingzhang a second.Conquered the basketball team by relying on his skills.That's why when Gu Chen was hit by Huo Mingzhang, so many people stood up to speak for him.

When confronting Qiao's family, he threatened people with reason and evidence.Let the Qiao family be cautious and dare not act recklessly.

Fame!own strength!

Gu Chen drew two big circles on the manuscript paper.

Does the change of these two plot nodes mean that the greater Gu Chen's reputation, the higher his reputation, and the stronger his own strength, the weaker the plot's restrictions on him will be.

Gu Chen didn't know if his guess was right, but he thought he could give it a try.

Work hard and try to become a better person.He is so good that no matter how he struggles with the aura of the plot, there is no way to reach the level of logical self-consistency, and maybe he can get rid of the confinement of the plot.

As if seeing the hope of real rebirth, Gu Chen's eyes suddenly became bright.He looked at Gao Haiyang: "Will it trouble you too much?"

"How could it be!" Gao Haiyang took a sip of milk tea and said solemnly: "One time trouble, life-long benefit. What I call making full use of existing resources to minimize time cost and labor cost."

"However," Gao Haiyang looked at Gu Chen, and tentatively said, "If you agree to publish the book, can you just publish the mind map of the other four subjects together? Otherwise, this tutorial book is not a complete set. It’s not very marketable either.”

"No problem." It was related to his exploration of the limits of the plot, Gu Chen agreed without hesitation.

Gao Haiyang didn't expect things to go so smoothly.I couldn't help but give myself a bee in my heart, and secretly boasted: "I'm such a clever little ghost."

Probably stimulated by being able to get rid of the plot, Gu Chen stayed up that night to draw a mind map all night.When I went to class the next day, I was still in high spirits.

Then I was stopped by the class representative of "Principles of Economics": "Professor Xing asked you to go to his office."

Gu Chen suddenly came back to his senses, only to remember that he had promised Professor Xing that he would hand in the thesis before the professional class, but he almost forgot.

Before the lunch break at noon, Gu Chen knocked on the door of Professor Xing's office with the thesis that had been revised several times.

"Come in!" Professor Xing looked at Gu Chen who pushed the door in, "I sent you a WeChat call, why didn't you reply?"

"Ah?" Gu Chen took out his phone with a dazed expression.Only then did I realize that there were several unread messages and missed calls on the screen of the muted phone.

Gu Chen broke out in a cold sweat, and explained: "I have been reading the "Tax Law" and "Economy Law" in the public room since last night, and the phone is muted."

This kind of thing can tell the truth from the fake with a little inquiry, but it can't deceive people.Professor Xing nodded: "It's better to look at your mobile phone less. Students of your age should read more."

After finishing speaking, Professor Xing looked at Gu Chen's eyes full of red blood, and added: "But don't work too hard. You must know how to combine work and rest, and don't overdraw your body because you are young. You should sleep or sleep .”

Gu Chen nodded.

Professor Xing asked again: "What about the paper I asked you to write?"

Gu Chen handed over the typed thesis to Professor Xing.

Professor Xing looked at a thick pile of essays—at least thirty or forty pages of papers, and looked at Gu Chen in surprise: "Didn't you be asked to write eight thousand words?"

Gu Chen nodded and explained: "It's eight thousand words. The main reason is that there are more data charts."

Oh?

Professor Xing was really curious.He opened Gu Chen's thesis, the first page was the table of contents.

Professor Xing glanced around and found that when Gu Chen was working on the subject of "Trade Liberalization and Market Macro-control", he did not talk in general like most undergraduates.Instead, a fast-selling product listed on the M-share market named "Stupid Bear" was selected as an actual case analysis.

Before the specific case analysis, Gu Chen was still in the thesis, and he habitually popularized the differences between the capital market of country M and the market economy under China's macro-control.

Professor Xing discovered that there are actually many arguments that can be discussed just in this foreword popularization of science.It seems that this Gu Chen still has some talent.

Professor Xing glanced at Gu Chen appreciatively.Read on.

Then Professor Xing noticed that Gu Chen used Python to crawl all the data before and after the M-share listing of Stupid Bear.Including product price information, the positioning of consumer groups, and even sales before and after listing, the focus of product announcements is different, and what kind of quality control and distribution channels are adopted by the brand before and after financing, and at different stages after listing. The integration, including the final sales data of several public online and offline promotional activities, and then automatically generated a chart of all brand data.Based on all the public information disclosed in the monthly, quarterly, annual and annual reports, we will analyze the transformation of the stupid bear brand under the liberalization of trade and the macro-control of the market.

"You are good at using Python." Professor Xing praised.

As one of the most authoritative economists in China, Professor Xing also participated in various economic seminars.Including being invited by the company to do some economic guidance.I usually do academic research, and I often come into contact with various data materials, even data reports that cannot be made public within the enterprise.

But being able to make data analysis visualization report to Gu Chen's level makes people look comfortable and clear at a glance, let alone undergraduates with little experience, even the departments of major companies that specialize in data analysis, come up with it Reports are rarely so beautiful and clear.

Not to mention the many views and arguments in Gu Chen's thesis, which are really forward-looking and feasible after careful study.

According to Gu Chen's summary report, no matter what industry the brand is in, first establish a comprehensive big data system, and then tailor the production process, sales process, and publicity process for each company based on the feasibility of big data analysis The strategy of data-driven operation seems to be able to turn from a special case to a universal one.

Internet, big data, these words that are too vulgar for later generations, were simply and rudely used by Gu Chen in his paper ten years ago, which seems to have caused Professor Xing to think deeply about the new round of enterprise reform.

But these are not what Gu Chen needs to consider.He carefully observed Professor Xing's expression, and asked, "Professor, did I pass this thesis?"

Professor Xing took a deep look at Gu Chen.

Out of pity for talents, when Professor Xing caught Gu Chen skipping professional courses, he deliberately chose writing a thesis as a punishment for him.The main thing is to let Gu Chen understand that students should be in awe of knowledge and maintain a rigorous and serious attitude towards academic research.Only when a person has enough knowledge reserves can he have the confidence to shine.

However, Professor Xing did not expect that this small punishment would bring him a huge surprise.

"That's right." Professor Xing nodded and put Gu Chen's paper aside.From the middle of the thick pile of materials, I found a file folder.He opened it up and looked at it, and after confirming that it was correct, he handed the folder to Gu Chen: "I see that your data collection is quite good. It just so happens that one of the topics I'm researching now involves enterprise reform. There are a lot of data that need to be sorted out. Decades of data are so numerous that it gives me a headache."

"It just so happens that you are good at this, so help me sort it out. Just make this kind of diagram..." Professor Xing pointed to Gu Chen's thesis: "It's colorful and pretty, and it's easy to understand at a glance."

Gu Chen: "..."

Seeing Gu Chen's unbelievable and aggrieved expression, the old urchin of Professor Xing suddenly had a fit, and deliberately asked, "Is there any question?"

"...No." Gu Chen took a deep breath and moved his mouth aggrieved.In the end, he swallowed the refusal abruptly: "You, when do you want it?"

"Don't worry, take your time." Although Professor Xing didn't inquire specifically, he also knew how busy Gu Chen's schedule was as a famous figure on campus.

"But you need to give me timely feedback on the data you have prepared." Professor Xing knocked on his desktop: "I am also in a hurry to write an article."

Gu Chen nodded expressionlessly.When I left Professor Xing's office, I couldn't help feeling a little downcast.

Seeing this, the teaching assistant sitting outside couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter, did the professor criticize you?"

"No." Gu Chen shook his head: "But I have arranged other work."

The teaching assistant raised an eyebrow and asked.

Gu Chen forced a smile on his face: "Data collation."

The teaching assistant's eyes widened in disbelief, and he sized Gu Chen up and down several times.Finally, he patted Gu Chen on the shoulder: "Come on."

After Gu Chen left, Professor Xing looked at the perfectly fitted door and couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.After pondering for a moment, he called his old friend.

"...One of my students wrote an article on "Trade Liberalization and Market Macro-control". The argument about big data-driven industrial operations is quite novel and feasible. Would you like to read it ?”

The old classmate rolled his eyes unbearably: "You're showing off again."

"This time it's not just about showing off." Professor Xing paused and said meaningfully: "I think this article is fully qualified to be published in your "Economist."

"Are you kidding me? What is the status of The Economist? A paper written by a student is going to be published in this journal. Lao Xing, you must be drinking too much, right?"

"Look! Let's talk after reading." Professor Xing said: "The wording of the text may not be so profound and sophisticated, but the viewpoint is very forward-looking and worth thinking about. If you think there is no problem after reading it, I will be the recommender."
