169 Getting Better and Better
On the first morning after New Year’s Eve, Wang Heng got up, washed up, sat in front of his computer, and opened the papers he had downloaded at school.
A very important advantage of university life was that many papers could be downloaded for free through the school’s IP address. So before going home, Wang Heng had specifically downloaded a large number of the latest papers on AI and big data. With his vision several years ahead of others, he naturally knew which fields were the most promising.
Investing and making money was already a piece of cake. Wang Heng felt that he should do something more high-end and aspiring next.
For example, doing some scientific research and striving for the Turing Award?
Opening a paper, Wang Heng began to chew on it with full concentration.
Ten minutes later, he couldn’t help but have a headache, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.
Half an hour later, he closed this one and opened another.
“Shouldn’t have challenged such a high difficulty right from the start…”
Another ten minutes passed, and he simply closed the computer.
Cutting-edge scientific research papers were completely different from textbooks in school. The common programming tasks in the company couldn’t compare with this in difficulty either. Wang Heng originally thought he had already understood the prerequisite knowledge required for these papers, but when he really started to chew on them, he found that his cultivation was still a bit shallow.
At this moment, the hamster beside him complained, “Brain can’t keep up with ambition? I told you, you’re not suitable for those things. Isn’t it nice to just make money and start a harem honestly?”
Wang Heng: “Making money is a must. I’ve already thought about what to do after making a few waves from stocks and the World Cup.”
The hamster: “Really? What do you want to do?”
Wang Heng said confidently, “Investment, of course! Just making wedding dresses for Tan Meng won’t do. I still remember quite a few successful startup projects, and I can rush in to get a share of the pie.”
The hamster: “And after getting a share of the pie? Start a harem?”
Wang Heng: “Forget about that. I’m a person who has detached from lowly pleasures.”
The hamster sneered. “Clear the hidden folders on your hard drive before saying that.”
Wang Heng reached out to grab the hamster, but the little thing jumped up, escaped from his hand, and ran onto the bookshelf.
Wang Heng stood up and rubbed his shoulders. After sitting for nearly an hour, his body felt a little stiff. It seemed he could use catching a mouse to move around a bit.
But just then, the hamster suddenly froze and said hurriedly, “Wait, serious business!”
Wang Heng: “What serious business? Are you going to cross-dress?”
The hamster: “No, Han Yixuan is coming later.”
Wang Heng was startled. “What is she coming for?”
The hamster: “If you ask her, she will definitely say it’s because of the research data. But what the real driving force is, you know without me saying.”
After thinking for a while, Wang Heng sat back at his desk. “Forget it. Let her come if she wants. The bright moon shines on the river.”
With that, he tried to continue chewing on the papers, but perhaps because he had been working hard for nearly an hour, he found that he couldn’t calm down now…
After struggling for a while, there was a knock on the security door. The sound wasn’t loud or urgent, but clear enough for Wang Heng in the bedroom to hear.
He walked out of the bedroom, glanced at his father playing games with headphones in the living room, walked to the door, and opened it.
The pretty girl stood in front of him and smiled faintly. “Boss, Happy New Year!”
Wang Heng: “Boss?”
Han Yixuan: “I’m going to be your assistant in the future, so I’m getting used to it in advance.”
Wang Heng: “…Come in.”
Han Yixuan entered the door, put on the slippers Wang Heng prepared for her, and then saw the uncle huddled in the corner of the living room playing games. The girl was stunned for a moment. In her impression, aren’t these games liked by boys of the same age?
“Ignore him. He’s wearing headphones and can’t hear us. Come with me.”
Hearing Wang Heng say this, Han Yixuan stopped struggling with whether to say ‘Hello, Uncle’ and obediently followed him into the bedroom.
When the bedroom door closed, Han Yixuan’s heart beat faster, feeling a little deer jumping happily in her chest. But immediately after, Wang Heng pulled out the chair in front of the desk for her to sit down and said at the same time, “Your computer is in your bag, right? Take it out, let’s have a look.”
Sure enough, talking about serious business… The little deer in her chest suddenly calmed down.
Han Yixuan took off the backpack on her back, took out her laptop, put it on the table, and opened it.
And Wang Heng connected the mouse to the computer, opened the Excel spreadsheet the girl had organized, looked at it for a while, and nodded with satisfaction.
“Very neat, and every item is very clear.”
“Because the questionnaire you set up was very…” Han Yixuan turned her head with a smile, but the smile suddenly froze, and the sentence stopped abruptly halfway.
It couldn’t be helped, because Wang Heng was standing behind her side at this moment, bending over holding the mouse. So when she turned her head, she found his profile right in front of her, and it seemed that as long as she leaned in a little bit, she could kiss him.
Wang Heng calmly moved a little distance to the side. “What about the questionnaire I set up?”
“Uh…” The girl forgot what she wanted to say for a moment and could only stammer, “Very good, very good!”
**
Today’s team battle was finally won.
Wang Jian took off his headphones, stood up, and stretched his whole body into a ‘big’ shape.
Just then, his son’s bedroom door opened, and a young man and woman walked out, meeting his gaze.
The girl named Han Yixuan was stunned instantly.
And Wang Heng laughed. “Dad, your pose is quite unique. Want a hug?”
Wang Jian quickly retracted his arms and stood straight. Immediately after, he realized the abnormality—why did this girl come out of the bedroom with his son?
While he was busy healing teammates in the canyon, what did this kid do?
Heal his girlfriend?
Seeing his father’s expression, Wang Heng guessed what he was thinking and explained, “I was discussing the research project with Student Han Yixuan just now. Everything has just been handled. I’m sending her back now. Ignore me and continue playing your game.”
With that, Wang Heng and Han Yixuan walked to the door, changed shoes, and went out together.
Wang Jian stood there stunned for a long time, suddenly realized a problem, ran to the door and shouted, “Are you coming back for lunch, you brat?”
“I’ll be back in a while!”
The footsteps of the young man and woman soon disappeared in the corridor.
Wang Jian closed the door and muttered to himself, “This kid is getting better and better…”

“Uncle is so interesting…”
Walking on the sidewalk by the street, Han Yixuan suddenly sighed.
Wang Heng smiled. “Yeah, sometimes he is quite interesting.”
Han Yixuan stole a glance at him, and just then, Wang Heng also turned to look at her, and their eyes met.
Just as the girl was about to pretend to look away inadvertently, she heard him say, “There shouldn’t be anything else regarding the research project. If you have time, you can read books on securities investment and business management.”
Securities investment was understandable, after all, Wang Heng had said before that he wanted her to be an investment assistant. But…
“Why business management too?” The girl couldn’t help but ask.
Wang Heng: “Because I might start a company in the future.”
“Start a company?” Han Yixuan asked curiously, “Are you going to start a business? Doing what?”
“Not specific business, just investment. Angel investor, you understand?”
As he spoke, Wang Heng thought of those startup projects that were still seedlings, and couldn’t help but look forward to them. ofo shared bikes, Mobike, Kuaishou short videos, Douyu live streaming, Keep fitness… There were too many projects to invest in, and many of them could be entered with an investment of a few million in the angel round. When they grew stronger and he sold them, the return on investment would undoubtedly be quite terrifying.
And to achieve these, starting an angel investment company seemed more convenient.
Facing this boy who was brewing grand plans in silence, Han Yixuan also fell silent, just staring at him quietly, her eyes full of admiration.
Look, thinking about starting a company just as a freshman. Can other boys do that?
