While Zhao Meimei was diligently studying, Shi Yang also started taking on some freelance software work with a few friends at school. Initially, he worked as a helper for others, assisting with tasks while quietly learning and gaining experience.
Shi Yang gradually became busier and busier. Previously, he was full of creativity and drive but lacked knowledge and experience. Now, as his knowledge slowly grew and his experience became richer, he started to feel like every man his age, with a deep-seated ambition for success.
Shi Yang began trying to market himself, contact clients, and take on freelance software projects. Starting with scattered small tasks, he slowly moved on to handling complete orders. Through this long process, he became deeply engrossed in this dedicated work state.
Shi Yang called home less and less, and his conversations grew shorter and shorter.
