Chapter 416: 416
After hearing that Fang Zhao wouldn't be coming back to celebrate the new year with the two old Fangs, many veterans in the retirement facility guessed that Fang Zhao's absence was the reason why Great-grandfather Fang appeared so listless .
Elsewhere, Fang Zhao didn't have much hope from keeping the truth from the two old Fangs . After all, those two were experienced with this sort of situation . The two old Fangs had pretended to not know, so Fang Zhao had also played along . There were many things that couldn't be spoken explicitly, but the simple understanding was good enough . Going into details would just cause excess worry .
In the one month of quarantine on Whale Island, Fang Zhao wrote his thesis, amended his compositions and made preparations for graduation . He had also read quite a few books recommended by Mo Lang . After completing each book, he had jotted down his afterthoughts .
Because he was isolated from all the various online disturbances, an extremely peaceful month passed by for Fang Zhao . For him, this month hadn't been tough at all .
When Fang Zhao came out from the quarantine apartment, he was called over for a meal by the other Whale Island guards who had been released to celebrate getting over this hurdle . Those who had spent their quarantine period watching "Founding Era" also wanted autographs and photographs with Fang Zhao .
"You are very lucky," research facility's unit one manager Nick said when he saw Fang Zhao .
Many people felt that Fang Zhao had been really fortunate not to have been infected despite being in such close proximity to the contagion .
Whale Island Region was already much emptier, and the restrictions had been relaxed . Tourist and sightseeing areas had opened up again .
In order to avoid tourists, Fang Zhao left Whale Island through an exit point . Nanfeng and the other two were already waiting for him there .
The car had been borrowed from a friend of Nanfeng's . After Fang Zhao boarded the car, Nanfeng spoke about matters during the period . Previously, it hadn't been too convenient to speak too much through the communications device when Fang Zhao had been on the island . Now that he was finally out, Nanfeng could give a more detailed report . He could prove that this assistant hadn't been slacking off and had also partly assumed the role of a manager .
"Boss, what arrangements do you have in mind? Fiery Bird personnel have called me a number of times asking about your decision," Nanfeng said .
"Graduation from Advanced Studies is still the priority . Are Fiery Bird's new products coming out soon?" Fang Zhao asked .
"Yes . To commemorate the discovery of the Alkaid, there are plans to have some Alkaid features on the product . The tentative name will be the Diting·η series . Fiery Bird has already released the information, and many people know about it .
The partnership with Fiery Bird would continue . Since Fiery Bird had shown their sincerity and Fang Zhao had no reason to reject, Fang Zhao had contacted the relevant parties on Fiery Bird's side to discuss the endorsement of the new product . He also set a date for more comprehensive talks for the contract .
After Fang Zhao was done speaking with Fiery Bird's representative, Nanfeng studied his boss' expression . Seeing that Fang Zhao didn't seem unhappy, he took the opportunity to suggest, "Boss, is it time for us to get an MPV?"
The vehicles they had previously used were company vehicles specially rented for certain events . When they had needed flying transport, it also had to be applied for .
Aside from flying transport, they ought to purchase a car for daily use, right?
Nanfeng continued to analyze it for Fang Zhao . "You see, boss, your status has risen, and it will surely continue to rise in future . We also aren't putting on a show of extravagance . However, the company cars should be for the company's newcomers to fight over, right? Even if we don't use the company's resources, renting cars using our own expenses is also troublesome . Also, I have already asked around . Won't you have to consult the tutors and professors regarding your thesis and other school related matters from time to time? You'll need to travel from place to place . Your reputation in Huangzhou is also high now . What will you do if you are recognized by people in public? It is very troublesome, and you can't bring a dog . If you attend events, there isn't any place to change or rest . Of course, all of this can be resolved, but you also do not have a quiet place to compose . Running around often wastes a lot of time . Don't you think so boss?
"That's true . " Fang Zhao nodded his head . He could tell that Nanfeng already had some ideas, so he asked, "Do you already have a model in mind?"
"Oh, we don't have to be too unconventional . Staying low-profile will be the best . Simply getting the model of MPVs that most celebrities normally use will do . I have a friend whose team specializes in licensed and lawful modifications of cars and flying transports . "
"Alright . We will check it out after negotiations with Fiery Bird are done . "
Fang Zhao first returned back to HuangArt . His dormitory was still the same as ever, just that the dog feed was empty . Curly Hair rushed over and whined . First, he was very happy to see Fang Zhao . Secondly, he wanted to remind Fang Zhao to order more dog food . Finally, he wanted to remind Fang Zhao about his unfulfilled promise to let him play new games!
Fang Zhao surveyed his dormitory once . The "rabbit" was still alive and well in its water tank . Fang Zhao went online to order dog food and contacted Muzhou's farm to send another batch of food over .
On his first day back to school, Fang Zhao didn't leave the campus . He downloaded a few new games for Curly Hair, discussed issues on composition with a few teachers, submitted his thesis to Mo Lang and submitted his application for graduation .
Fang Zhao was the first person in his cohort to submit his application for graduation from the Advanced course .
An application had to be submitted before the graduation certificate could be received . Only with the qualitative works and a satisfactory thesis would the application be successful . Fang Zhao's quality of his thesis and works were already sufficient, so it gave considerable pressure to the others in the same batch as him .
After the application was accepted, a time would be arranged for the student to defend their dissertation . There would also be a graduation concert . However, all of these were matters that would happen in June . The earliest Fang Zhao could defend his dissertation was at the end of May . It was only February now, and there seemed to be sufficient time . Still, Fang Zhao would need a lot of effort to prepare for his concert, especially since the academy would be more stringent for Fang Zhao given his reputation .
On the second day, Fang Zhao didn't have any classes, so Fang Zhao set a meeting with the relevant Fiery Bird representatives to discuss the collaboration terms .
