Rebirth of a Top Student's Handbook

Su Hui: [@Zhou Min, where do you work?]

Zhou Min: [Let me double-check the office location.]

Chen Xinliang: [Is someone going to guide us?]

Zhou Min: [No one guided us; we had to figure everything out and complete everything ourselves.]

Zhou Min: [Complete freedom! It's also a challenge, a test of our creativity and teamwork!]

Wang Jing: [Huh? If we don't do our job well, will we still get paid?]

Zhang Qiuyun: [Where did you get this job? Do you have any connection with this company?]

When Zhou Min saw Zhang Qiuyun, she couldn't help but be surprised.

Zhang Qiuyun was also a student in Class A of the Turing Class. Although she and Zhou Min were classmates, they never spoke to each other. Despite there being only four girls in their class, Zhang Qiuyun managed to be in the same class for a whole year and completely ignore Zhou Min.

Zhou Min didn't hide anything from Zhang Qiuyun's question and answered honestly, "I'm in charge of this job, and I'll be paying the salaries. If there are any problems during the work process, you can communicate with me directly, so don't worry."

Zhou Min: [@Wang Jing, regardless of whether the work is completed or not, the salary will still be paid. However, if the work is not completed well, everyone may not receive a bonus.]

It might be because Zhang Qiuyun took the lead, or it might be because Zhou Min said that she was in charge.

Students from Class A, who hadn't been active in the group chat before, started showing up one after another.

Xie Pengcheng: [Are you planning to start your own business, or are you taking on outsourcing projects?]

Zhou Min: [This is just my own idea. After it's done, I'll probably try it out myself. The rest will depend on the actual situation.]

Zhou Min: [Just messing around with it. I'm bored during summer vacation anyway, might as well find something to do. If I can succeed, that would be even better!]

Xie Pengcheng: [Money talks! Thumbs up.jpg]

Zhou Min: [If anyone has any ideas, feel free to give it a try. Anyway, you're just killing time during summer vacation.]

Guo Xin: [@Zhou Min, are you upset because you couldn't get into Professor Gong's project team?]

Zhou Min felt disgusted as soon as she saw Guo Xin's words.

In the entire Turing class, who wouldn't want to join Professor Gong's project team?

Zhang Kun and I were indeed a bit too eager, but wasn't that because we both felt we had a better chance of getting into the cast?

These people clearly desire it deep down, but they pretend to be indifferent on the surface.

Now that they see that their hopes have been dashed, they are all coming to ridicule them.

Because the matter at hand is quite important, Zhou Min intends to retort immediately, even though she feels uncomfortable about it.

Just as Zhou Min was secretly holding a grudge and preparing to get back at them later, she saw that someone in the group had already done so.

Zhang Kun: [At least Zhou Min dares to think and act! That's better than some people who do nothing but secretly envy others.]

Guo Xin: [Who's jealous? Don't flatter yourself, okay?]

Zhang Kun: [I didn't name names. He's already taken the initiative to claim it himself, and he still has the nerve to say others are just being presumptuous!]

Guo Xin: [You were the one who got angry first, weren't you? I'm asking Zhou Min, why are you jumping out like this? Don't think you're so great just because you won two IOI (International Olympiad in Informatics) gold medals! You're still far behind Yang Zixuan!]

Yang Zixuan: [Question.jpg]

Yang Zixuan, who was watching the commotion from underwater, had no idea that their argument would escalate and involve him.

Zhang Kun: [@Guo Xin, if you're so capable, compare yourself to me. What kind of skill is it to act like a dog relying on its master's power!]

Yang Zixuan: [Shocked.jpg]

Seeing that Zhang Kun and Guo Xin were getting increasingly absurd, Zhou Min quickly stopped them, saying, "Stop arguing! Isn't it normal that we first-year students can't get into Professor Gong's research group?"

Zhou Min: [But not being able to get in and not trying are two different things, right? Or did you really never even consider joining Professor Gong's project team? @Guo Xin]

Guo Xin felt guilty upon hearing Zhou Min's question, since Teacher Gong was also in the group.

If I were to get caught up in Zhou Min's words right now, and if Professor Gong saw this, I might really never have the chance to join his research group again.

Thinking about this, Guo Xin felt even more that Zhou Min was insidious and cunning.

To salvage the situation, Guo Xin could only grit his teeth and reply, "I didn't mean anything by it, I was just expressing my surprise that you, who always wanted to join Professor Gong's lab, have suddenly started preparing for your own startup project. It's just a bit unexpected."

Zhou Min: [When you write a program, you don't only have one solution, do you? If one algorithm fails, are you just going to keep waiting?]

After finishing her sentence, Zhou Min didn't bother with Guo Xin anymore and simply sent a message: "You guys think about it first. I'll send the information registration form to the group later. I'll answer any questions you have later."

After sending the message, Zhou Min immediately closed the QQ chat interface, opened an Excel spreadsheet, and began compiling the information registration form.

The information Zhou Min needed to collect was relatively simple. She mainly wanted to know the programming languages ​​each student had, the algorithms and technologies they were good at, and what programming projects they had done in the past.

Building an online education website is not an easy task.

The technologies involved include front-end and back-end development, cloud computing and server technology, video technology, as well as data analysis and intelligent recommendation technology, all of which involve multiple languages ​​and algorithms.

Zhou Min wants to familiarize everyone with their areas of expertise in advance, which will facilitate team building and work allocation later on.

Just as Zhou Min was pondering whether to add something else, Wang Mingyue and Jiang Fei returned with the lunch they had bought.

"Thank you!" Zhou Min glanced at the food Wang Mingyue handed her, said thank you, and then went back to revising the form.

When Zhou Min finished revising the table and sent it to the group, many more questions popped up in the group.

After Zhou Min finished answering the questions and made sure no one had any more questions, she closed the chat interface and then accepted all the previous friend requests.

By the time Zhou Min finished all that, almost an hour had passed.

Zhou Min touched her still-warm lunch and couldn't help but sigh, "Summer is so nice; the food is still hot after all this time."

Wang Mingyue, who had already finished eating and cleared the table, couldn't help but curiously lean over and ask Zhou Min, "What were you busy with just now? Why did it take you so long?"
