Chapter 37: Tiantian Assistant's First Update

Over the past month, although Liu Qingli had not officially started her job, she had been remotely directing the company's general development strategy, communicating via video with Liu Xuewei or making voice calls to Su Xin every day.

Therefore, even though it was only their second time meeting, there was no sense of unfamiliarity between the two; instead, they were as close as old friends who hadn't seen each other for years.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two had Liu Xuewei bring over the employment contract that belonged to her.

"Take a look!" Su Xin said with a smile.

"Alright."

Saying this, Liu Qingli reached out to take the contract, flipped through it casually, and prepared to sign, because the contents of the contract had already been discussed beforehand, and this time it was just a formality.

But suddenly, her gaze paused, and she then looked at Su Xin in surprise, asking:

"What is the meaning of this, Boss?"

"It's nothing, the company is making money, and I suddenly wanted to give you both a raise," Su Xin said with a smile.

On the other side, Liu Xuewei spread her hands and feigned helplessness, saying: "Yesterday, when the boss saw that the first-day revenue exceeded 400 million, he suddenly became a multi-millionaire, so he couldn't control his excitement and gave us both a raise with a wave of his hand."

"You call this a little raise? It's clearly doubled!" Liu Qingli said in disbelief.

"This is what you deserve."

Su Xin's expression became serious: "My strength lies in technology, but the company's development strategy, specific management, and the formulation and execution of policies mainly have to rely on you."

"You two are my right-hand women; you helped me build and support the entire company. Without you, the company wouldn't have today's glory."

"Compared to these contributions, your salaries are not much. As long as you work hard, the year-end bonus will give you an even bigger surprise."

"Then thank you, Boss!"

Liu Qingli smiled.

Her previous monthly salary was 250,000, which was naturally the elite of the elite in the eyes of ordinary people, but at the level of a senior executive in a large company, this income was actually not high.

After all, she was previously only an operations vice president, and her seniority was relatively shallow, and she had no dividend incentives, so naturally, she couldn't compare to those executives with annual salaries of tens of millions rumored on the internet.

And now, Su Xin had directly increased her monthly salary to 600,000, and with the 15 to 18 months of salary stipulated in the contract, her annual salary had jumped directly to the ten-million level.

The most critical thing was that she was no longer just an operations vice president, but a bona fide Chief Executive Officer, holding the power of life and death over the company, with the opportunity to realize the ambitions in her heart.

Moreover, it was in a miracle company like Tianqi Technology, which had infinite future prospects.

Various conditions made Liu Qingli incomparably excited, and she was full of expectations for the future.

After the contract was signed, Su Xin gathered everyone in the company, formally introduced Liu Qingli's identity to everyone, and entered her information into the company system, enabling the corresponding permissions; the latter started her first day of work without stopping.

As for Su Xin, he returned to his office and continued to research compression and encryption technology.

Before noon, he had successfully researched a hybrid multiple-dislocation compression technology that was completely different from the mainstream ones on the market. It could scatter and mix all data for compression; if one did not have the decompression tool he specifically developed, it would be impossible to decompress it at all, and even if one tried to force decompression, it would only lead to data corruption and chaos.

After many attempts to ensure that this compression technology would not cause any damage or loss to the data, Su Xin then packaged the program.

"Tiantian, call Liu Qingli."

After giving the instruction to his mobile phone, the call was automatically dialed and connected quickly.

"Boss, what's the matter?"

"General Manager Liu, help me arrange for someone to go to the telecommunications company to purchase some servers. Now that the company is not short of money, I am a bit worried about security issues if we keep renting Ali's cloud servers."

"Alright, I'll arrange it right away."

Liu Qingli looked delicate, but she was swift and decisive when doing things; she had the server matter settled around three o'clock in the afternoon.

After all, the operation and storage of such large-scale servers had very high requirements for the venue, and most companies would continue to keep them at the telecommunications company after purchasing them, with specialized personnel from the telecommunications company keeping and maintaining them, so there was no need to transport them back for re-installation and testing; thus, the entire purchasing process was very convenient.

Su Xin compressed and encrypted some of the software data he had developed previously, uploaded it to the new server belonging to Tianqi Technology, and began to develop new software functions.

He planned to arrange a major update for all the functions developed these days at an appropriate time, release them all at once, give all users a surprise, and pave the way for the next step of the strategy.

Over the next few days, the company was calm.

However, the number of official members broke through repeatedly, from 30 million on the first day, to 50 million on the second day, and then to 60 million on the third day, before slowly slowing down.

And these official member users brought Tianqi Technology a revenue as high as 750 million, which also meant Tianqi Technology no longer had to worry about funding issues at all.

One week later.

All Tiantian Assistant users were surprised to find that the Tiantian Assistant, which they had been using for over a month, popped up an update notification for the first time, and everyone chose to update in unison.

The update package was very small, so most people finished updating in less than half a minute.

Looking at the new function prompts that popped up, some users shouted in excitement:

"Great! Finally, there are new voice packs, and there's even my favorite Da Tuantuan!"

"Although the previous voice packs were also very nice, they were too mechanical and lacked emotion. It was really boring to listen to them for a long time. Now that there are multiple voice packs to choose from, it's a great thing."

"These dynamic avatars are also very interesting!"

"Before, everyone had the same dynamic avatar and voice, and it always felt boring. Now there are finally multiple choices, and maybe it will support customization in the future."

"The most critical thing is that these voice packs and dynamic avatars are not charged at all. You have to know that even those input methods or other various software have a lot of paid skins now."

"For this update, I must give Su Xin a big thumbs up!"

"I hope Su Xin can continue to produce some free voice packs and dynamic avatars. After all, we are all paying to use the software; there is really no need to charge for these small functions. Brothers, upvote this so Su Xin can see my message."

"Why call him Su Xin? You should call him General Manager Su!"

"That's right, now the whole country knows that Su Xin earns hundreds of millions a month. He has already ranked among the highest-earning people in the country. Calling him by his name is indeed a bit inappropriate; we have to change it to General Manager Su."

The netizens said this half-jokingly and half-seriously, which won the approval of the vast majority of netizens, and everyone changed their address to General Manager Su one after another.

In the afternoon, Su Xin saw a topic "General Manager Su who earns hundreds of millions a month" on the blog trending list, and he also saw many netizens' comments.

So he released a video through the official blog as a response—

"Thank you all for your love and support for me. I have also seen your comments. I am solemnly responding to you here: voice packs and dynamic avatars will never be charged for, and we will continue to develop them to provide you with more personalized choices until we develop suitable and easy-to-use customization functions to satisfy your personalized needs to the greatest extent."

"Finally, there is another piece of good news to tell everyone: on June 12th, Tiantian Assistant will usher in a major update. At that time, some practical function widgets will be added, and Tiantian Assistant will be further optimized. Everyone is welcome to experience it."
