This is not the first time Lexus has encountered this situation. In the past six months, many people have wanted to obtain some non-public or even private data, such as competitor data.
Not to mention that Lexus couldn't get this kind of data, even if he could, he wouldn't do it. Besides, the store manager also repeatedly gave orders to the employees about which data should never be touched. Lexus, a good young man who abides by laws and regulations, is naturally strict.
obey.
His mood was ruined, and Ling Zhi was a little depressed. He closed the order-taking software, opened WeChat, and saw the message Zhao Shiyan had just sent him a few minutes ago.
"Senior, are you busy on weekends too?"
"It's not like you're busy. I'm reading papers and helping others organize data. What about you? You haven't officially enrolled yet, so you shouldn't be very busy."
Lexus replied.
"Yeah, it's not bad. My supervisor sent me a lot of papers in advance for me to familiarize myself with. The English in this liberal arts department makes my head spin, haha [face covering]"
Alas, it is true that anyone who passes the cross-major exam will struggle for a while, let alone switching from theory to essay. I don’t know how she got there.
"Haha, I'm not much better here. The client who asked me to help organize the data made some strange requests. But what about the paper? If you don't mind, can you let me take a look?"
"Oh, it's a paper about 'intergenerational'. It's about the study of the impact of parents' education levels and their matching on offspring. But just forget it. The senior is also very busy, so I don't want to disturb you."
"This is quite interesting. It doesn't matter. You can just send it to me and I will simply read the summary. It won't waste much time."
After a while, Zhao Shiyan sent a file.
Lexus looked at the title, opened the file and browsed briefly, sighed, and replied:
"I really don't understand anything related to sociology. It seems to be about parents' compensation for the inequality of their children's education."
"I gave an example. If the elder brother invests 1 yuan more in education than the younger brother, then the younger brother will receive an additional 0.47 yuan in compensation from his parents."
"But how to compensate and what the form of compensation is, I still don't know. The first paragraph of the article talks about different models predicting different conclusions on intergenerational compensation. Later on, it seems that linear regression and other models are also used...
…”
Ling Zhi carefully replied with his opinions, clicked send, and habitually re-read his text to prevent typos. After confirming that there were no typos, he fell into a state of thinking. He felt that he still had a little understanding of the issues raised in this article.
Get ready to take a closer look.
At this moment, Zhao Shiyan sent a stunned expression and replied:
"Senior, you still said you didn't understand. How long has it been? You have explained what I only understood in two days. I want to hug your lap, senior."
As he spoke, he sent a hugging-the-thigh emoji.
Ling Zhi was a little dumbfounded. He wasn't mocking the girl's reading ability. He really just glanced at it briefly and didn't understand the details. He was about to reply to Zhao Shiyan modestly, when Zhao Shiyan sent another message:
"Haha, you're joking, senior. Although I know that senior is very powerful, I won't waste your time by asking questions casually."
What are you talking about? Lexus replied:
"No delay, it's really interesting. I've never seen this kind of research before. Besides, I just finished my work and don't have anything else to do. I'm quite free. If you don't mind, you can chat with me for a while."
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about the paper, let's talk about something else. Senior, you just said you were helping others organize data, are you helping the tutor?"
"Oh, um, that's not the case. I just took some simple jobs online and helped others organize some public data. I just met a strange customer..."
Ling Zhi briefly talked about his experience, including the general process of the past few transactions. Zhao Shiyan echoed from time to time, sometimes shared his indignation, and sometimes praised him for his patience.
“Once I met a customer, he asked me to help him sort out very little data, so I didn’t ask for much money, and one order was only enough for me to eat one meal.”
"Later, this customer came again and said that he thought the data I compiled was good and asked me to continue to compile another batch. Without waiting for my consent, he placed an order online at the same price as before."
"I was dumbfounded because the data he asked for this time was too little. In fact, I can treat the increased demand this time as after-sales service without any additional money."
"So I asked the customer to refund the money. This time I did it for him for free. The customer didn't know why and refused to refund. I was speechless. I had no choice but to tell the customer not to place an order casually. There will be another problem later.
If there is a need for data, as long as the amount is not large, I will do it for free, and the customer finally agreed."
"Hahahahaha!"
"Senior, you are too honest, don't you want the money that falls from the sky? It's obvious that people are willing to give you money."
"Although it's your wish and my wish, I know in my heart that my workload is not worthy of the money, so I definitely won't take it."
"Haha, I think senior is a little cute in his honesty and silly! However, I like him. He is indeed my favorite golfer. I understand the reason, but senior, you are so kind that you will be easily bullied."
Ling Zhi suddenly blushed, but when he thought about it, he was really too worried. People are sure of their own qualities, and they are not just thinking about you because they like you.
"Oh, it's okay. I did make a lot of unfair claims in the past, with a lot of work and little profit, but at least I feel guilty, so I just let it go with a smile. After all, I have gained experience. But I have also accumulated a lot of experience.
Some old customers have often asked me to sort out data many times in the past few months. I think my way of working will still pay off."
"More than just rewards, don't worry, senior, if I ask you for help in the future, I will definitely give you enough rewards so that you won't be bullied again. [Hateful]"
Ling Zhi felt warm in his heart, and his feelings surged:
"Thank you so much for your support [Hold Fist]"
…
The two chatted for a while, and Zhao Shiyan changed the topic and said:
"By the way, senior, the girl Mengyao from last time said she wanted to ask me to teach ball. She invited me, but I had something to do today and couldn't go out, so I asked her to another day. I thought about it, after all, we were playing ball together.
When I met her, she invited me to go, and I also want to invite you to go with her. Do you want to come, senior?"
Ling Zhi was a little moved, but he always felt that he was a bit like a light bulb in the past. Two girls were practicing ball, what were you doing? Thinking about that scene, I felt a little embarrassed.
"Well, let's forget it. After all, it's you she's asking for a date. It would be a bit embarrassing for me to go. Let's make a date alone another day."
"Oh, okay then."
I don’t know why, but there was a minute-long silence afterwards. Ling Zhi regretted a little, wondering if he had refused too simply. Just as he was about to explain again, he saw the girl reply:
"It's okay, senior. Let's have a ball game another day. Senior, you should be busy first."
Ling Zhi suddenly felt something stuck in his throat. He suddenly remembered that the girl who greeted him first today was asking about his affairs. She also said she had something to do just now, but she didn't mention much about the specific matter. He made up his mind instantly.
"Well, please wait a moment. You didn't come to me specifically just to chat today, right? You just said you had something to do today, but you still spent a lot of time chatting with me. Can you do anything?
Tell me? If I can help you, I will help you. If I can't help you, I can also give you some advice."
Ling Zhi said what he wanted to say, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
After a minute, Zhao Shiyan made a sideways smile and then said:
"I really want to ask my senior for help with something. We've been chatting for so long that I forgot about it, haha."
"Blame me, blame me. I've been holding you to talk to yourself for so long, and I didn't even ask you what you wanted to do with me. Just tell me."
"It's like this. One of my classmates asked me if I knew a classmate who knew computers and asked him to help consult with the parameters of the cloud server. She wanted to rent a suitable cloud server to do a questionnaire survey."
"Oh, it's easy. Just ask her to send me the link to the cloud server she wants and I'll take a look."
"That's troublesome, senior, we don't have this idea."
After the link was sent, Lexus looked at it briefly, sighed, and replied:
"Actually, you don't need such a good configuration to do a questionnaire survey. An ordinary cloud server is enough. You don't have to choose a graphics card, traffic, etc. It's great. This also saves your costs."
"Of course, it depends on whether your tutor has sufficient funds. If you have sufficient funds, it doesn't matter if you subscribe monthly or even annually. If not, it is more cost-effective to charge based on volume. After all, a questionnaire survey does not consume a lot of traffic..."
Lexus then gave its own opinions in detail, including which parameter is better to choose. Finally.
"Okay, thank you, senior. Although I don't quite understand these parameters, I feel that what you said makes sense, and I will convey it to my senior."
"Hmm, it's best if I can help. Just refer to it, but don't take what I say as a standard."
"I understand, I will invite my senior to play ball when I have time next week. Senior, I really want to say goodbye this time. Let's talk back."
"Okay, let's talk later."
After settling a matter on his mind, Ling Zhi calmed down, leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes, and thought about the conversation just now.
"It's really fun to chat with her and I can resonate with her, but the problem is..."
Although Ling Zhi felt that he was not a lover, he was not ignorant. He realized that in the final analysis, the problem still lay with himself.
"You enjoy your current situation, right? Are you not planning to make any changes? If your answer is yes, one day you will lose everything you have now."
Ling Zhi asked himself in his mind. There was no doubt that he liked the current situation, but what about Zhao Shiyan? Does she feel the same as him?
Ling Zhi suddenly became enlightened. He was certain that he would never allow himself to enjoy this happiness alone.
…
afternoon.
Ling Zhi opened Zhao Shiyan's WeChat and sent:
"Well, I've changed my mind again. Although I may not be able to help you much, it would be quite interesting to watch you two play from the side. Can you take me with you after you make an appointment?"
