Chapter 137 Is Li Yuqian’s work really published?

This year will definitely be a year worth remembering for Internet companies.

This year has seen many landmark events, including the launch of WeChat's mobile payment QR code scanning function and the official transition from 3G to 4G, all of which mark the arrival of an era of flourishing development.

It was in the past two years that there has been a surge in society towards computer science.

When Li Xu returned home, his father had just seen off a business partner.

Li Xu noticed a subtle worry on his father's face, so he asked curiously, "Dad, what's wrong?"

Li Yuqian shook his head: "Nothing." He looked at Li Xu and asked: "Did you drive back from the capital?"

Li Yuqian was initially a little opposed to Li Xu's decision to drive back from the capital. After all, the road was so long, and it was inevitable that people would be a little worried about a child who had only just obtained a driver's license.

But Li Yuqian thought again that Li Xu had indeed grown up. Now he was studying at Peking University and Tsinghua University. The filter of this prestigious university was too strong. Li Yuqian subconsciously felt that this kid knew what he was doing.

So at that time he just reminded me to be careful and didn't say much else.

Children are indeed like this for their parents. It always feels like they never grow up, but perhaps when they complete something that you think they cannot do independently, they grow a lot in an instant.

Things like this piled up one after another, and finally I was shocked to find that my child had indeed grown up, and I had also grown old.

Seeing Li Xu driving back safely from the capital, Li Yuqian's image of Li Xu had some inexplicable changes, and he felt inexplicably emotional.

Li Yuqian reached out and took Li Xu's suitcase. When he did this, Li Xu looked at his father in surprise, smiled and said, "No need, I can do it myself."

That's why Li Yuqian didn't help Li Xu with the suitcase.

Li Xu put the suitcase back into the room and when he went downstairs he found his father reading a book.

Although Li Yuqian did not have a high level of education, he did read books frequently after he started doing business. He liked others to call him a Confucian businessman.

The essence of human beings is narcissism.

Li Xu smiled and said, "Dad, what book are you reading?"

Li Yuqian glanced at Li Xu with no expression on his face. He said casually, "I'm not reading. I'm proofreading."

Li Xu was stunned for a moment: "Proofreading? Dad, when did you start working as an editor?"

Li Yuqian said with a nonchalant expression, "Oh, I just wrote some random thoughts and reflections recently. I thought I'd publish it for fun and see how the quality turns out."

Li Yuqian placed the book on the coffee table and slowly pushed it to Li Xu, saying, "Oh, it's not something to be proud of. It's mainly because people often ask about my experience in this area. Some old friends have urged me to organize these things and benefit them. I myself am really too lazy to do this."

Li Yuqian looked indifferent, which made Li Xu a little curious.

He picked up the book. The cover was hardcover, with a hard wallpaper and a few large golden words: "Yu Qian Talks about Education - How a Well-known Entrepreneur Educates His Children".

At the bottom of the book are a few eye-catching selling points: "From wanting to drop out of school to being recommended for admission to Peking University and Tsinghua University, what kind of father did this eccentric top student have?"

The next line continued: "Do you think that elite education is only available to the rich? In fact, this entrepreneur only used this method to educate his son..."

Li Xu was stunned by the marketing rhetoric on the cover. He glanced at his father and said mercilessly, "Let's not talk about the content of the book. Whoever designed this cover and title is a genius."

Li Yuqian blinked his eyes. He could naturally hear Li Xu's sarcasm. He coughed and said quickly, "Oh, these contents are not my idea. I am from the publishing house."

After hesitating for a moment, Li Yuqian asked tentatively: "Well, are these contents really not that good?"

Li Xu flipped through the book and said casually, "It's not that bad. After all, if it wants to sell, it must attract attention. Books are also commodities. Without a selling point, how can people buy them?"

Li Xu flipped through two or three pages, looking up at Li Yuqian from time to time.

Li Yuqian felt a little uncomfortable with this look. He coughed, stood up, and said, "What do you want to eat tonight? Let's go out for dinner?"

Li Xu carefully flipped through the book his father had written. The more he read, the more embarrassed he felt. How should I put it? This feeling was really strange. It was like watching his father talk nonsense seriously, but it seemed to make sense.

For a moment, Li Xu's expression was a little complicated, and he slowly put the book down.

Li Yuqian had been secretly glancing at Li Xu. Seeing that Li Xu's expression was a little subtle, he finally couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean?"

Li Xu immediately said seriously: "No, Dad, I just didn't expect you to have such writing skills and level."

Li Yuqian was secretly pleased by these compliments, but his face remained calm as he said nonchalantly, "I just wrote it for fun."

Then, as if he didn't care about the work at all, he just threw the book on the sofa next to him.

Li Xu sighed slightly in his heart.

There is no doubt that if this book by my father really comes into the market, it will definitely mislead young people. Moreover, the greater its influence and the greater its sales, the more parents and children will likely be misled.

He was powerless to do anything about it. He couldn't just jump out and say to his father, "Dad, you're wrong. Your educational philosophy is really too outrageous. For example, the way you educated me..."

His father's book set does not contain just one or two viewpoints, but a systematic educational method composed of many viewpoints, which is very practical.

If some parents really follow the example, Li Xu doesn't know what kind of child they will eventually have.

Anyway, no matter what, he definitely didn't become what he is today because of his father's educational philosophy.

In a sense, he has become his father's accomplice. He can only pray that the influence of this book will not be too great. The parents who bought this book and their children will also wish them good luck.

Li Xu didn't stay at home for a long time. When he returned to Jinchuan City, he naturally went to visit his old friends.

After Li Xu left, Li Yuqian slowly picked up his book and carefully straightened out the pages that Li Xu had just folded.

Li Yuqian smiled dumbly, took out his cell phone and called the editor, saying, "Let's print a little over 3,000 copies for the first time."

No bookseller is willing to buy this set of books yet, but it doesn't matter. Li Yuqian bought it at his own expense and he doesn't plan to sell it. After all, his own set of ideas is quite valuable. If some people really spend dozens of dollars to buy it, he would feel a little uncomfortable.

Li Yuqian’s idea is to first give a set to each of the company’s regular employees who have families. It can be regarded as a small gift that can enhance cohesion and can also be regarded as a small benefit.

Secondly, when some good friends or business partners visit you occasionally, you can bring some cigarettes and alcohol along with this book as a gift, which will instantly make you look more classy.

This is not narcissism. After all, if Li Xu had only attended a second-rate university, or was now a child with an unhealthy personality and major character flaws, then this set of educational philosophy would definitely be a joke.

But I believe that anyone who has come into contact with Li Xu will be impressed by this guy, and more importantly, the reputation of Peking University and Tsinghua University is really too famous.

Ha ha.

It is well-reasoned and has real examples, which is really convincing.

Li Yuqian showed a leisurely and contented smile.

……

After Li Xu returned to Jinchuan City, many important matters were waiting for him to deal with.

What he cared about most in his heart was to visit Xia Xiaohe and Xia Xiaomiao, brother and sister.

After living in the city for so many days, Xia Xiaohe has become more and more beautiful.

The once slightly immature appearance is completely gone, replaced by the graceful figure of a young girl.

Now her skin is as white as snow, delicate and smooth, with a healthy glow.

She was wearing the same school uniform as the other students in No. 9 Middle School. It was well-tailored and highlighted her youthful vigor.

From the outside, she is no different from those pretty girls in the city. However, her unique simple temperament is like a breeze, emanating naturally, making people feel particularly friendly.

Temperament is indeed a mysterious thing. It seems to be a unique charm that is integrated into the bone marrow, invisible yet real and tangible.

As a senior high school student, Xia Xiaohe chose to take the college entrance examination. The pressure on his shoulders can be imagined.

Even though Peking University and Tsinghua University have already had their winter vacation, her high school is still immersed in a tense atmosphere of exam preparation and has not relaxed at all.

Every day, her time is filled with studying. She is so busy that she has to jog to the bathroom, racing against time.

Even so, when Li Xu came to visit, she still hurriedly squeezed out time to meet him during the break.

Seeing Xia Xiaohe working so hard, Li Xu was pleased, but at the same time, he didn't want to disturb her studies too much.

He gently encouraged her, "Come on, I'll be waiting for you in the capital."

In fact, Li Xu thought to himself that it didn't matter if she couldn't get into Peking University or Tsinghua University. There were many excellent universities in the capital, and as long as she could go to the capital... Maybe there were some selfish thoughts in it, but this was his most sincere expectation for Xia Xiaohe.

Because... for what's next, he needs someone he truly trusts!
But to Xia Xiaohe, these words had a different meaning. She felt that Li Xu hoped that she would be admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University.

Despite the challenges ahead, Xia Xiaohe gritted her teeth firmly, her eyes revealing a determination to not give up: "I will definitely work hard. I want to be your junior."

After saying this, she lowered her head slightly, a shy blush on her face.

Li Xu didn't think much about it. At this moment, his thoughts were more focused on plans for the next semester.

He thought to himself that when the time was right, he could start working on the relevant matters of the entrepreneurship competition.

After a brief reunion with Xia Xiaohe, Li Xu went to the junior high school of No. 6 Middle School to visit Xia Xiaomiao. Compared with her sister Xia Xiaohe, Xia Xiaomiao was more talented in studying.

As soon as he entered the school gate, Li Xu's attention was attracted by the honor roll.

At the top of the list, Xia Xiaomiao's name was prominently displayed.

The junior high school department of No. 6 Middle School can be said to be a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are hidden, and it gathers many smart and clever teenagers.

In order to clearly distinguish the differences in the academic performance of these gifted students, the school's exam questions are much more difficult than those of ordinary junior high schools.

Here, a student who just passes the exam can almost get an excellent score that is only ten points lower than the full score in the unified examination.

Even in such a harsh environment, Xia Xiaomiao still got full marks in several science subjects.

Li Xu looked at the name on the honor roll and felt a little proud. He was secretly happy that he had not misjudged the person. From the perspective of judging people, he was indeed quite capable.

He knew that a gifted child like Xia Xiaomiao had unlimited possibilities in the future and was a rare talent no matter where he was.

But at the same time, he also had a faint worry in his heart, worried that as Xia Xiaomiao grew up, the various temptations and influences from the outside world would change the child and even betray him.

However, he secretly comforted himself that if that day really came, he would just think of himself as having made a mistake.

The management of the junior high school is much more relaxed than that of the high school. Xia Xiaomiao is a treasure in the eyes of the teachers. He is obedient and sensible on weekdays, and the teachers will almost meet all his reasonable requests.

So, when Li Xu came to find Xia Xiaomiao, he just needed to say hello to the teacher and successfully took half a day off, ready to take Xia Xiaomiao out to relax.

After not seeing him for a long time, Xia Xiaomiao has obviously grown a lot taller. His former childish innocence has faded away, replaced by a youthful air with a hint of rebellion.

The moment Xia Xiaomiao saw Li Xu, her eyes lit up and she rushed over excitedly, shouting, "Brother Li Xu!"

However, when Li Xu heard Xia Xiaomiao's voice that had become hoarse, he found it difficult to accept for a moment.

The chubby and adorable little boy has now grown up. The change in his voice makes Li Xu feel a little inexplicably sad.

But he quickly gathered his composure, a smile returned to his face, and he asked, "Come on, let me take you to relax. Where do you want to go today?"

Xia Xiaomiao tilted her head and thought for a moment before asking, "Brother Ye Ruida, have you returned to Jinchuan City?"

Li Xu was slightly stunned and asked curiously: "Have you been in contact with him?"

Xia Xiaomiao nodded vigorously, then took out the smartphone Li Xu had bought him last time and said, "When I don't understand something about the competition, I always ask Brother Ye Ruida. He always patiently explains it to me. If you're free today, could you ask Brother Ye Ruida to come and play with us?"

Li Xu thought for a moment, a sense of relief welled up in his heart, and nodded, saying, "That's good."

He immediately called Ye Ruida. On the other end of the phone, Ye Ruida said that he was at home and warmly invited them over.

Li Xu was a little hesitant, wondering what fun things could be found in Ye Ruida's house?
But Xia Xiaomiao on the side was very excited and said with anticipation: "I haven't been to Brother Ye Ruida's house yet."

Seeing Xia Xiaomiao's excited look, Li Xu had no choice but to agree.

When the two of them arrived at the parking lot, Xia Xiaomiao saw Li Xu's AMG and a strange look appeared on her face. She said, "Brother Li Xu, you changed your car."

Li Xu's eyes flickered slightly, remembering that the last time he took Xia Xiaomiao to barbecue in the wild, he drove a Ford Mustang. From the appearance, the Ford Mustang did look more domineering and expensive.

Li Xu didn't want Xia Xiaomiao to pay too much attention to the price of material things at such a young age. He frowned slightly and thought about how to put it.

At this moment, Xia Xiaomiao spoke again, with a hint of disappointment in her tone: "Brother Li Xu, to be honest, this car is not suitable for you to drive. You are so tall and handsome, you should drive a big car like the one we drove last time. This car is like a little girl driving it."

Li Xu blinked, touched his nose, tapped Xia Xiaomiao's head, and said dissatisfiedly, "Get in the car."

After arriving at Ye Ruida's house, what Li Xu didn't expect was that the next morning would be so painful.

Xia Xiaomiao and Ye Ruida, two guys who are obsessed with mathematics, started chatting about mathematics as soon as they met as if no one else was around.

Although Li Xu's math skills are not bad, they pale in comparison to these two top contestants, just like the gap between an elementary school student and a college student.

Li Xu was mostly confused by the advanced mathematical knowledge and problem-solving ideas they discussed, and his mind was in a mess.

As time passed, the two of them became more and more excited in their conversation, with no intention of stopping.

Li Xu sat aside, gradually feeling sleepy, his eyelids began to twitch, and he felt drowsy.

Just when Li Xu was drowsy, his eyes were suddenly attracted by an acoustic guitar in the corner of Ye Ruida's living room.

The guitar was in excellent condition and had a warm luster to it.

Li Xu walked over slowly and picked up the guitar gently. When his fingers gently plucked the strings, the crisp sound echoed in the air.

In an instant, the conversation between the two people who were discussing mathematics came to an abrupt end.

Ye Ruida trembled all over and a complicated expression appeared on his face, just like the look on Harlem's face on the Voice of China show, as if he was about to shit but just a little bit away.

Xia Xiaomiao also raised her head and looked at Li Xu with a strange expression. She was about to say, "Brother Ye Ruida's formula..."

Ye Ruida interrupted him and said excitedly, "Forget the formula for now. Li Xu, the chord progression you played makes me want to improvise. Come on, don't stop, play it on loop!"

As he spoke, he quickly took the electric guitar down from the wall, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

Xia Xiaomiao was stunned and stammered, "This formula..."

Ye Ruida waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about business today. Let's talk about personal matters."

The corners of Xia Xiaomiao's mouth twitched slightly, and a helpless expression appeared on his face, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't. In the end, he could only sigh with despair.

……

When Li Xu returned home, a man in a white coat carrying a suitcase just came out.

When he saw Li Xu, the other party nodded and smiled at him kindly.

Li Xu was stunned for a moment when he saw the doctor in a white coat, and then he immediately recalled that in his previous life, his father had started hiring a private doctor around this time to check his body regularly.

Li Xu has never had contact with his private doctor, but he seems to have the impression that he has more than one private doctor.

The reason my father died in my previous life was sudden death from overwork. This was the result of the forensic examination. In short, it was an accident.

But suddenly an incredible idea came into Li Xu's mind. His eyelids twitched rapidly, and then he called out to the doctor: "Wait a moment."

The other party was stunned for a moment, bowed slightly, and said respectfully: "What's the matter?"

Li Xu looked him up and down, his eyes flickering slightly, then he smiled softly and said, "Excuse me, who are you?"

The other person smiled and said, "My last name is Chen, and I'm Mr. Li's personal doctor."

Li Xu nodded, and then asked with concern: "Is my father healthy?"

Doctor Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Li is in good health and there is nothing wrong with him."

Li Xu nodded: "That's good, thank you for your trouble."

Doctor Chen naturally guessed that Li Xu was Li Yuqian's son and quickly said, "No, no, it's what I should do."

He secretly muttered to himself, this young master of the Li family is indeed as his father said, a young and promising young man. The look in this young man's eyes just now made him feel as if he was being seen through. Although he was also shocked when this thought came to him, he had to admit that this young man in front of him did give people an unfathomable feeling. Is this the child of a wealthy family?

Li Xu sent Dr. Chen away and secretly calculated that it would take several more years before his father had the accident.

In his previous life, his mind was in a daze, he had no idea about many things, and could not see through the surface.

But now, after leading a team and studying at Peking University and Tsinghua University for such a long time, and seeing many cases, I have begun to vaguely realize that in my previous life, neither my father’s death nor my own bankruptcy was that simple.

If in his previous life he was in a state where he saw mountains as mountains and water as water, then at this time he has the ability to see mountains as not mountains and water as not water.

His mind was working rapidly, and while he was lost in thought, he had unknowingly walked into the living room.

Then I was brought back to reality by my father’s voice, “What are you thinking about? You are so engrossed in it.”

Li Xu blinked and frowned as he asked, "I just saw a doctor who said he was your personal doctor. Is there anything wrong with your body?"

Li Yuqian shook his head nonchalantly. "It's just a regular checkup. Several of my subordinates suggested I get a regular checkup. I thought it made sense, so I hired a private doctor."

Li Xu asked tentatively: "Who suggested this to you?"

Li Yuqian asked back, "Why are you asking this?"

Li Xu smiled and said, "Since he cares so much about your health, I guess he must be your most loyal subordinate."

Li Yuqian smiled casually and said, "Who else could it be? Of course it's your uncle Wei Qizheng."

Wedge is?
Li Xu's eyes flickered slightly.
