Quick Travel: Destiny for Thirty Lifetimes

This vacation was very long, and he planned to stay at home and take on some larger projects. Coincidentally, a senior student contacted him and asked Lian Qingyang if he wanted to join his team. He had taken on a software programming development job for a company, which paid very well and brought him a very considerable income.

As expected, Lian Qingyang nodded in agreement because of the final content. So after he came back, he spent some time in the morning and afternoon writing some code, and spent the rest of the time buying groceries, cooking, enjoying life, and living a very comfortable life.

He completed his part within half a month. He packaged the code and sent it to his senior. A few days later, he received an invitation from his senior, who wanted him to visit the company in two days. Lian Qingyang did not refuse.

The weather in Chaoyang District is always changeable in summer. It may be sunny in the morning but rainy in the afternoon. Just in case, Lian Qingmen brought an umbrella when he went out.

The senior student suggested they meet at a coffee shop outside the company building and gave him the address. It would take Lian Qingyang more than a dozen subway stops, as his apartment was a bit out of the way, while the company was in a more prosperous area. After getting off the subway, Lian Qingyang calculated the time and found it would take about half an hour to get to the company. It wouldn't be bad if he could intern there.

Lian Qingyang found the coffee shop and looked inside through the glass. It was not yet time to get off work, and there were only a few waiters and two or three customers in the store.

After entering the coffee shop, he saw someone waving at him from the corner. The person seemed to be cheerful and outgoing, and he could imagine his personality just by hearing his voice. As Lian Qingyang approached, the person extended his hand familiarly: "You are Lian Qingyang, right? I'm Yue Songming, you can just call me Senior Xiaoming. I've only heard your name before, but now that I see you, I think you really are."

Lian Qingyang extended his hand back and shook it, then asked with a hint of confusion, "Hello, Senior. ...What do you mean, it's really like that?"

Yue Songming gestured for him to sit down, brought him a cup of coffee, and said, "I didn't know what you liked, so I ordered a cup of their signature drink. How about you try it?" After watching him drink it, he lowered his voice and said, "At the end of last semester, I heard from my roommates that many freshmen and sophomores asked you to do their final projects. You always followed the requirements and did a great job."

"We're juniors, and the school requires a year of independent internships. I teamed up with a few people to work on a team project. Because my roommate suggested it, I wanted to get you to work on something." In fact, he had asked around about Lian Qingyang and learned that he seemed to be in need of money. Seeing that he had good skills, he wanted to help him. Unexpectedly, this junior was really good. "I saw the project you submitted to me, it's really good. Recently, some of them have been working on other projects and have no time, so I decided to bring you here to submit your project, and by the way, go to our place to show them the code."

Lian Qingyang nodded in understanding, took another sip of coffee, and said to Yue Songming, "This company looks well-established. They should have dedicated programmers. Why would they assign a project to a university student?"

He checked the company on the way here and found out that it was a branch of Duan Group in another city, responsible for some software development and game operations. Even though the computer industry is booming now, this company was only considered a small company before. It was only in the past year that it slowly came back to life and started to grow.

Yue Songming chuckled, revealing his white teeth. He whispered, "You probably didn't know this last year, but this company parachuted in a new general manager. I heard he's quite influential. He immediately reorganized the company, recruited new talent, and encouraged young people to get involved, saying he wanted to give university students more opportunities to participate in practical projects. I heard about this from someone else and immediately formed a team to participate in the project. However, there was a screening process for this opportunity, and there were so many people who signed up. Everyone saw the opportunity and was eager to get in. But our team is quite capable, and we went through many rounds of hurdles to make it through the selection process. We've already completed three or four projects for the company, and the results are pretty good. You can check our results here!"

"By the way, do you know what our first project was?" Seeing Lian Qingyang shake his head, Yue Songming put down his cup, swallowed his coffee, and continued, "At the time, we thought that this first project would at least be a small program. But the company sent a few of us to other schools to provide on-campus guidance to junior college students for a month. What do you think? It would be better for us to write code and create programs. At least the chance of a computer having a bug is much smaller than that of a student."

Yue Songming wanted to say something when his cell phone rang. He quickly said, "The person who is coordinating the project with me is calling. I'll go out and answer it." After that, he quickly walked out of the coffee shop to make a call. Lian Qingyang picked up the cup and took two more sips, thinking that there were so many branches of the Duan Group. Duan Zhuo couldn't possibly come here. How could it be such a coincidence?

The door to the coffee shop opened again. Yue Songming walked over, picked up his computer bag, and called out to Lian Qingyang, "Let's go! He's coming down to pick us up. Let's go in and demonstrate the project to them first. If there are any questions, we can discuss them on the spot to avoid any mistakes later. But we still guarantee after-sales service."

Lian Qingyang nodded and followed Yue Songming. He met the person in charge of the handover. The man had slightly sparse hair and looked a little older. He felt a little uncomfortable when Yue Songming kept calling him "brother". He lowered his head and followed silently, not looking at the back of the head of the person in front of him.

The two people in front walked towards the elevator while discussing. After entering the elevator, they arrived at the eighth floor smoothly. Yue Songming took out his computer and gave a demonstration. The person raised questions and Lian Qingyang answered them. After the demonstration was completed without any problems, Yue Songming took out a USB drive and gave it to the contact person. The person took it, patted Yue Songming on the shoulder, and glanced at Lian Qingyang. "This project is very good, and the people in your team are also very good. I will transfer the balance directly to you after it is approved. If there is any project next time, I must work hard to give it to you."

Yue Songming also breathed a sigh of relief, smiling calmly and politely: "Thank you in advance, brother. You can put your mind at ease in leaving it to us. We have things to do later, so I won't keep you any longer. I look forward to seeing you next time. Goodbye, brother."

Lian Qingyang was about to say goodbye, but the man insisted on taking them down to the company building. Yue Songming did not refuse, and the three of them took the elevator to the first floor. Lian Qingyang lowered his head without looking at the man and followed the two out of the elevator.

The man was still marveling at Yue Songming's comment about Lian Qingyang being so impressive as a freshman when he stopped a few steps from the elevator and greeted the leader of the group across from him, "Hello, General Manager!"

Lian Qingyang was stunned for a moment before he heard a deep voice from the other side: "Well, what are you doing?"

"Oh, this is the team leader I am in charge of, Yue Songming. He is here to hand in a project today. He did a great job. I came down to see him off." I didn't expect that the usually aloof general manager would take the initiative to ask questions, and the man finished his explanation in a flurry.
