Chapter 472: The First Phone Call

Shen Yan was particularly excited in his tipsy state, fighting for two hours straight before finally stopping, by which time Chen Shanni had already sobered up.

She snuggled into Shen Yan's arms, drawing circles on his broad chest, feeling rather embarrassed.

She really didn't know what she had been thinking at the time, actually wanting to hit Luo Qiqi.

It was all Luo Qiqi's fault!

Being drunk didn't make her special; she actually had the nerve to take advantage of her man.

The key was that she had been seen kissing Shen Yan.

This had now completely verified Luo Qiqi's suspicions, though fortunately, it wasn't a major issue; Luo Qiqi shouldn't go around telling anyone.

Shen Yan picked up the phone beside him and checked it; it was exactly nine o'clock. He said lazily and comfortably, "I should go. If you want to sleep, sleep for a while."

Chen Shanni woke up as if from a dream.

Besides Luo Qiqi, there was another uninvited guest in the house.

How embarrassing it would be to be discovered.

Her head was still a bit dizzy, and since she couldn't sleep anyway, Chen Shanni simply got up as well.

After a quick hot shower, Shen Yan walked out of the room. The guest bedroom across the hall was tightly shut, and in the living room, only Wu Yue'er was lying on the sofa playing with her phone; Yu Youwei and Luo Qiqi were nowhere to be seen.

They must be resting in their rooms.

Seeing the two finally willing to come out, Wu Yue'er couldn't help but hum with a hint of jealousy: "You two have such guts, daring to do that while there are people in the house."

Faced with such naked teasing, Chen Shanni's pretty face flushed with an intoxicating sunset glow.

Shen Yan sat down as if nothing had happened and said, "When it comes to guts, who can compare to Huniu? If someone gave you a curtain, you could even isolate the Earth."

"Go to hell!"

Even Wu Yue'er couldn't quite handle that jab.

Chen Shanni covered her mouth and giggled, and that little bit of embarrassment was swept away.

"Click!" came a sound.

Suddenly, the guest bedroom door opened, and Luo Qiqi's slightly haggard face appeared before the three of them; the scene instantly fell into an eerie silence.

Recalling the earlier scene, Luo Qiqi was so embarrassed she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

She scratched her head and then walked into the bathroom without a word.

At this moment, Chen Shanni noticed the delivery box on the coffee table and reminded him, "There was a delivery for you in the residential complex, I helped you bring it up."

Shen Yan then remembered the delivery person had called in the morning and said mysteriously, "You can open it and see, there's a surprise."

The two women's spirits lifted, and they secretly guessed what kind of surprise it would be.

"Wow! It's an Apple 4!"

When Luo Qiqi came out of the bathroom, she happened to hear this exclamation.

She saw the two women excitedly unwrapping the phone box.

She curiously leaned in to watch.

Huh! It was actually the newly released Apple model, which couldn't be bought in China at all.

This biased man actually had some real ability.

Last week, the Apple 4 officially went on sale, first landing in countries like Japan, South Korea, Europe, and America; China was estimated to have to wait until next month, so Shen Yan had entrusted someone to purchase ten units from Hong Kong.

If she remembered correctly, the 32GB version of this device cost 5,999 RMB in China.

Buying through a proxy could save about a thousand yuan.

Luo Qiqi looked at Shen Yan with resentment, as if looking at a heartless man.

Shen Yan gave her a look that said to stay calm.

"Is there one for me?" Luo Qiqi felt comforted in her heart.

At least this biased man wasn't too excessive; it wasn't in vain that she followed him in such an ambiguous way.

She opened the phone box.

The new device's exterior had abandoned the curved design, becoming a square, matchbox-like shape; it was thinner and more refined than the 3GS, the image quality was clearer, and its performance in all aspects had been enhanced.

Wu Yue'er asked why he bought so many, and Shen Yan only said he was giving them away; Wu Yue'er didn't ask further and began to study the new device with great interest.

Mindful of the two women present, even though she knew one of those phones belonged to her, Luo Qiqi couldn't ask for it openly, and she really felt a bit wronged.

There are no human rights for the latecomers.

Clearly, they were all his women; when would he ever treat them all equally?

After a secret sigh, Luo Qiqi turned to apologize to Chen Shanni: "Shanni, sorry about just now, I was so drunk I was confused; my head is still spinning now."

Chen Shanni was happy to see her act this way and said affectionately, "It's nothing, I was the same; let's just pretend that embarrassing incident never happened."

"Mm-hmm!"

The next morning, after Yu Youwei woke up, she was completely stunned; everyone around her was using the new Apple phones. What was going on? She had only slept for a night.

What did you all do behind my back?

Upon learning that the devices were purchased by Shen Yan from Hong Kong, Yu Youwei wanted to say something but hesitated.

She really wanted an Apple phone; she had wanted one since Shen Yan bought the 3GS.

But Sun Bixia wouldn't allow it.

She said, what does a college student need such a good phone for?

She could provide good food and drink, but she didn't allow the pursuit of luxury goods.

Sigh! In the end, one still has to rely on oneself; having money in one's pocket keeps one's heart at ease.

In the midst of the rapid development of Kuaida Delivery, the final exams arrived as scheduled.

Three days of exams in a row.

The moment the bell rang, it signified that the summer vacation had officially begun.

The students all wore expressions of relief; since they had put in the effort, the results were now in the hands of fate.

As he walked out of the classroom, a wave of heat rushed toward his face, so scorching it was suffocating; just then, Shen Yan received a call from Chen Jun.

The content was heartening.

The first call had been placed on a Xiaogu Mobile.

Although there was still a long way to go before success, it at least proved that this path was viable.

Listening to the excited and impassioned voice in his ear, Shen Yan could not help but feel moved himself: "Congratulations, Uncle Chen; it seems we are one step closer to success."

The young women nearby understood immediately; this "Uncle Chen" could only be Chen Shanni's father.

Chen Jun laughed heartily: "Haha! The most important step is complete; the rest is just a matter of time—assembly, testing, software... the phone's exterior will follow the design you created, which saves a great deal of time."

Preliminary estimates suggest it can hit the market for sale in November.

How is the development of your food delivery app coming along? Don't fall behind the pace."

Shen Yan: "It's almost finished; it can go live for operation once it passes testing."

"That's wonderful!" With good news hitting one after another, Chen Jun could hardly keep from jumping three feet high.

He seemed to see the day when he would lead Xiaogu Company to the pinnacle of the world.

Besides telling Shen Yan this good news, Chen Jun had one more thing he wanted to discuss with Shen Yan.

Back when the MIUI system was successfully developed, Chen Jun had released the system online for free, allowing other phones to download and install it so he could collect data and analyze the system's performance for optimization.

During this period, Chen Jun discovered an instant messaging software in North America called "kik," which could match users' contact lists to conduct free text chats.

Chen Jun keenly realized that this was very likely the future of communication tools.

Thus, an idea was born.

To build the first instant messaging software of the domestic mobile internet era.
