“Oh, okay,” the boss turned and glanced at Liu Ming standing next to Hao Yunyang, then agreed.
“Spare rib noodles? What’s gotten into you?” Liu Ming looked surprisingly at Hao Yunyang, his gaze as if examining an alien: “Just the other day, you wouldn’t even spare a coin for the slot machines…”
“Hehe,” Hao Yunyang scratched his head and laughed, hesitating before saying: “Could you teach me about that crowdsourcing platform?”
“Me?” Liu Ming was stunned for a moment, then laughed mockingly: “Even a genius like me can’t do well on that platform, and you want to learn? There’s nothing to learn about crowdsourcing, just master the operational process. The key is your skill. Have you used Photoshop? Do you know what Photoshop is? Do you know online banking? Do you know what online banking is for?”
With these simple questions, Hao Yunyang was speechless for a long time. Only after the boss’s wife packed two portions of ramen did he squeeze out five words from between his teeth: “What are these?”
“And you want to do crowdsourcing?” Liu Ming rudely took the spare rib noodles from the boss’s wife, patting Hao Yunyang’s shoulder patronizingly: “You’d better just honestly work at Jinhui. Crowdsourcing isn’t something you can handle.”
“But…”
“No buts,” Liu Ming lit a cigarette and beckoned to Hao Yunyang: “Come with me.”
“What for?” Hao Yunyang looked at Liu Ming with low enthusiasm, his mind seemingly elsewhere.
“A genius like me doesn’t usually teach apprentices,” Liu Ming said smugly with a cigarette in his mouth. “But considering your sincerity…”
“You’ll teach me?” Hao Yunyang looked at Liu Ming. Before he could thank him, Liu Ming said: “Don’t rush. Even a genius won’t teach someone less skilled. I saw a logo last night that was barely passable. If you can somewhat copy it, I’ll reluctantly take you as an apprentice!”
Though he spoke this way, Liu Ming’s eyes sparkled with mockery, apparently wanting to find some balance after being discouraged that morning.
As for Hao Yunyang, although he knew Liu Ming’s casual nature, he still followed with the mindset of learning whatever he could, carrying a bag of meat shreds ramen, following Liu Ming towards the convenience store.
