Chapter 231: Few Believe in This Project (Part 3/3)

“That’s good! Work well under Director Tang!” Yang Zhiyong said.

“Director Tang, we’ll go through the resignation process first! It might take two or three days,” Qian Daqiang said.

“Okay! Once you’ve completed the resignation process, call me directly!” Tang Feng nodded.

Then, Qian Daqiang and Pan Kexue left.

“Director Tang, I have to say, they really have courage! I estimate that many people in the institute are waiting to see their joke,” Yang Zhiyong said, shaking his head.

“I know! Once I get back, I’ll start working on the development of the computer operating system! I absolutely cannot let them suffer indignity following me!” Tang Feng’s eyes were filled with determination.

Just then, Tang Feng’s phone rang again.

He saw it was an unfamiliar number.

He pressed the answer button.

“Is this Director Tang Feng?”

“Yes.”

“We are from the Computer Institute. Director Tang, we want to join your team.”

“Director Zheng just called me, saying you’re from the Computer Institute and might not be able to join the team. I’m planning to set up a company to develop a computer operating system. Are you interested?” Tang Feng asked.

“Does that mean we have to resign?” the other side asked.

“Yes.” Tang Feng nodded.

“Could you give us some time to think? After all, this is a big decision for us,” the other side negotiated with Tang Feng.

“Sure!” Tang Feng agreed readily.

“We’ll call you once we’ve decided.”

“Okay.”

The call ended.

“Director Tang, even if they resign, including you, that’s only five people. I really can’t imagine how a team of five people can compete with Microsoft! After all, Microsoft’s research team probably has about ten thousand people!” Yang Zhiyong couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Having many people isn’t necessarily a good thing. Dean Yang, I’ll take my leave first! We’ll talk more when there’s time later!”

“Okay!”

Tang Feng bid farewell and left.

Walking along the tree-lined paths of the school, Tang Feng felt somewhat disheartened.

For him, developing a better computer operating system wasn’t a difficult mission.

However, once the operating system is developed, it needs continuous upgrades and maintenance.

Additionally, sales are also a consideration.

He initially thought of collaborating with the Computer Science Department of Jingcheng University and the Computer Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, so both could benefit.

Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned.

Whether it was the senior researchers at the Computer Institute or the senior professors at the Computer Science Department, none were optimistic about this project.

Everyone had given up resistance in the field of computer operating systems!

In the coming years, Microsoft was sure to make a fortune in China!

This was a fact everyone was willing to accept!

But for Tang Feng, he was definitely not willing to accept it!

He was determined to develop a better computer operating system!

By then, not only could he save money for domestic computer companies, but he could also export it abroad and earn a substantial amount!

He was very clear that even if a computer operating system was sold for just a hundred yuan, that would be ten billion yuan for a hundred million computers!

Thinking this, his mood seemed to improve a lot.

He called Su Xiaoli.

“Dear, have you gotten home yet?” Tang Feng asked.

“Not yet.” Su Xiaoli shook her head, saying, “Professor Li wants to have dinner with us tonight.”

“Just the two of us?” Tang Feng continued to ask.

“Her husband too! He’s also a professor at our school, seems to be from the Foreign Languages Department,” Su Xiaoli answered.

“Shall I come over to you guys now?”

“We’ve just left the teaching building! Where are you?” Su Xiaoli asked.

“I’m at the north gate of the school.”

“Wait there for us! We’ll be there in a moment!”

“Okay!”

Many students passing by greeted Tang Feng.

“Director Tang, are you waiting for someone here?” At that moment, a tall and beautiful female student approached Tang Feng.

“Who are you?” Tang Feng looked her over, feeling somewhat familiar.

“I’m also a student of the Mathematics Department! But I’m a junior! My name is Yu Ting!” the other introduced herself.

“Yu Ting, nice to meet you!” Tang Feng greeted.

“Are you waiting for someone here?” Yu Ting asked with a smile.

“Yes.” Tang Feng nodded, saying, “I’m waiting for my girlfriend.”

“Would you be willing to let me treat you to a meal sometime when you’re free?” Yu Ting negotiated.

“Sorry. I’m very busy and don’t have the time,” Tang Feng refused without hesitation.

“Are you worried about your girlfriend getting jealous?” Yu Ting guessed.

“Yes.” Tang Feng nodded.

“You’re really cute. Well, I won’t bother you then,” Yu Ting winked at him and then left.

This scene was precisely seen by Su Xiaoli, who had just arrived.

“Feng! Who was that woman talking to you just now?” Su Xiaoli asked.

“A junior from our Mathematics Department,” Tang Feng answered.

“What did she want?” Su Xiaoli continued to ask.

“She wanted to invite me to dinner.”

“Did you agree?”

“How could I? Without your approval, I definitely wouldn’t agree.”

“What if I approved?”

“Even then, I wouldn’t agree. I’m not familiar with her, so why would I go to dinner with her?”

Hearing his response, Su Xiaoli chuckled.

Professor Li Ping, seeing their interaction, had eyes filled with envy!

This is the essence of youth!

Unfortunately, she was already at an age where she could not go back!
