Chapter 233, rewritten version 1!
Li Chen looked down at those four words.
[A new version.]
His first reaction was not to break down.
First, look at Yan Xi's hands.
Her fingertips pressed against the stack of printed papers, a red pen sandwiched in the middle, a bit of red string peeking out.
The paper corners were neat, indicating that she didn't just print it randomly on the spot.
She had already finished reading it before she came.
And they looked at it very carefully.
Wang Qiang, clutching his vocabulary book, asked in a weak voice, "Sister-in-law, this rewrite... does it mean... a complete rewrite?"
Yan Xi glanced at him.
Wang Qiang immediately shut up and held up his vocabulary book to cover his face.
Zhao Zixuan whispered, "Qiangzi, don't ask. I'll be scared if you ask."
Chen Mo paused on his keyboard for two seconds. "The initial draft of the project received immediate feedback from a high-standard partner, which is typical of a high-pressure growth scenario."
Yan Xi shifted her gaze over there.
Chen Mo silently closed the laptop halfway. "I'll shut up."
Li Chen turned over the printed paper.
The first paragraph was crossed out entirely.
The second paragraph is marked with the word "empty".
The third paragraph reads: It's like a report, not an application.
The fourth paragraph reads: Without you.
Li Chen stopped pointing when he saw the last three words.
without you.
This is even worse than "rewriting a version".
He wrote out the technical roadmap, the project background, the application value, and the expected results.
But Yanxi said, "He's not here."
Li Chen looked up. "Did I write that badly?"
Yan Xi: "Not bad."
Li Chen became even more uneasy.
Yan Xi took out the red pen and handed the cap to him. "That's why we need to rewrite it."
Zhao Zixuan couldn't help but say, "I don't understand this logic."
Yan Xi ignored him.
Li Chen understood a little.
If it's poorly written, just change the format.
If the foundation is usable, then you need to force out the real substance within it.
He sat back down at the table and spread out the paper.
Yan Xi stood beside him, without sitting down.
She looked down at his computer screen and tapped the title with her finger.
"The question is too broad."
Li Chen: "Smaller?"
"Revised to standard."
Li Chen opened the document and deleted the original title.
The cursor is flashing.
He thought for a few seconds and typed in a line.
[A Campus Learning Status Auxiliary Judgment Model Based on Behavioral Sequences]
Yan Xi didn't say anything.
Li Chen turned his head to look at her.
She was also looking at the screen, her expression calm.
Li Chen felt a little relieved. The fact that he wasn't immediately rejected meant he could survive for at least ten seconds.
Yan Xi asked, "Why do you want to do this?"
Li Chen stopped.
She asked this question once that afternoon.
What he wrote at the time was—to make the complex judgment process more explainable.
But that's not enough now.
He looked at the screen, but the first thing that popped into his mind wasn't the project, but Wang Qiang.
Wang Qiang's face when he dared not go to the second floor.
When Lin Duofa said, "I just thought you would come," Wang Qiang froze.
And himself.
Yan Xi could always tell from the slightest movement whether he had eaten, slept enough, or had neck discomfort.
He used to think that this was something you would only do if you liked someone.
But if we turn these details into reminders, wouldn't that help more people?
Li Chen is typing.
Many people's changes in demeanor don't happen suddenly; it's just that those around them don't notice them in time.
Yan Xi finally spoke. "Stay."
Li Chen paused, his fingers moving slightly.
This word is better than "praise".
Wang Qiang peeked out from behind the vocabulary book. "My sister-in-law said to keep it, so does that mean it's approved?"
Zhao Zixuan pressed his head down. "Don't disturb the programmer's rebirth."
Li Chen didn't laugh.
He continued writing.
Yan Xi didn't write a single word for him, only occasionally pointing it out.
"Delete this one."
"Don't explain here."
"Don't just state empty words about data sources."
"Don't write 'of great significance,' it's meaningless."
Li Chen deleted it very quickly.
He had expected to suffer a lot tonight.
But when it came to actually making changes, it went much smoother than in the afternoon.
Because Yan Xi didn't just hand him the answers. She simply peeled away the useless outer layers one by one.
The rest of the things were his own.
At 11:30, Wang Qiang's phone was placed face down on Li Chen's desk, and it had been quiet for half an hour.
Wang Qiang was restless, flipping through his vocabulary book to the third page.
He suddenly asked in a low voice, "Brother Chen, can I take a look at the time?"
Zhao Zixuan: "Can't you look at the clock on the wall?"
Wang Qiang: "Is what I want to see the time?"
Chen Mo: "What you want to see are unread messages."
Wang Qiang covered his face. "Don't tear it down!"
Yan Xi glanced at the time. "Give it to him."
Wang Qiang suddenly looked up. "Really?"
Li Chen also looked at her.
Yan Xi said, "Eight minutes are up, but he performed well today."
Wang Qiang immediately stood up, took the phone with both hands, as if welcoming a long-lost relative.
The screen lights up.
There is no new information about Lin Duo.
The light on Wang Qiang's face slowly dimmed.
Li Chen saw it, but didn't say anything.
At times like this, anything said sounds like a consolation.
Yan Xi remained calm. "It's normal."
Wang Qiang looked up.
Yan Xi: "She already told you in advance this afternoon that she might be back late tonight. The fact that you didn't receive it doesn't mean it's a bad thing."
Wang Qiang was taken aback for a moment.
Li Chen noticed that Wang Qiang's shoulders were relaxed.
Yan Xi added, "If you reissue it now, it will invalidate her prior statement."
Wang Qiang immediately smothered the phone. "I won't send it."
Zhao Zixuan shook his head. "Sister-in-law, I'm starting to suspect that you studied architecture and incidentally took a course in human taming."
Yan Xi: "Don't cause trouble tomorrow."
Zhao Zixuan: "Received."
He was stunned for a moment after he finished speaking.
The dormitory was silent for half a second.
Wang Qiang looked up. "You received it too?"
Zhao Zixuan remained expressionless. "Shut up."
Li Chen almost burst out laughing.
Yan Xi turned her gaze back to the computer.
"continue."
Li Chen immediately lowered his head.
At exactly 12 o'clock, the first draft of the second version was completed.
The word count was reduced by a third, but Li Chen himself found it much more pleasing to the eye.
Yan Xi pulled the mouse over and scanned it from beginning to end.
She reads very quickly.
Li Chen was even more nervous than before.
Being reviewed by her is different from being reviewed by a teacher.
The teacher is only concerned with whether the student can pass.
Yan Xi was looking to see if he had included her in the conversation.
She stopped at the last paragraph.
Li Chen wrote—
This project does not attempt to replace human judgment; it simply aims to provide an earlier reminder amidst busyness and sluggishness.
Yan Xi stared at the line of text for two seconds.
"Can."
Li Chen's fingers tightened slightly.
can.
When the Li family patriarch said that Yan Xi's fish was good, the whole family breathed a sigh of relief.
Now it's his turn.
Wang Qiang whispered from the side, "Brother Chen, is this from your wife good? Is it of high quality?"
Zhao Zixuan: "Higher than your passing grade in advanced mathematics."
Chen Mo: "Judging from Yan Xi's feedback system, 'okay' usually means moving on to the next stage."
Yan Xi took back half of the printed paper, leaving only the two with the most annotations.
"Revise it again tomorrow morning using this."
Li Chen nodded. "Okay."
Yan Xi looked at him. "Sleep now."
Li Chen glanced at the computer. "I'll save the document—"
I said now.
Li Chen immediately saved and shut down the computer.
Zhao Zixuan clicked his tongue. "Your execution ability is even stronger than Qiangzi's."
Wang Qiang disagreed. "I'm very strong now too."
He had barely finished speaking when his phone lit up.
All four of them looked over at the same time.
Wang Qiang held his breath and picked up his phone.
