Chapter 63: Please Pay Attention to Overseas Users

"Qingli has been so busy lately, and it was hard enough to decide on shopping today to relax. If I stand her up, will she beat me to death?"

Liu Xuewei rubbed her hair in distress.

After struggling for a moment, she secretly thought to herself:

"This is the first time Su Xin has asked me out; it's a good sign that our relationship is progressing. If I agree and then back out, I will definitely offend him completely, and there will likely be no hope of pursuing him in the future."

"Qingli is my good friend, but precisely because she is a good friend, we will have plenty of opportunities to go shopping in the future. If we miss this time, so be it."

"In that case, I'll go to the appointment!"

Having made her decision, Liu Xuewei stopped struggling, cast the shopping plans to the back of her mind, and returned her attention to her work.

Six o'clock arrived.

The bell for the end of the workday rang right on time.

Seeing that the employees had already left one after another, Liu Xuewei also stood up to leave the office. She took the initiative to greet the few employees she brushed past, smiling and nodding at them continuously.

Soon, she arrived in front of Liu Qingli's office and knocked gently on the door.

"Come in."

A crisp, pleasant voice came from inside the room.

Liu Xuewei pushed the door open and entered.

But before she could even open her mouth to speak, she saw Liu Qingli still fully focused on typing on her keyboard, saying, "Wait a moment, I'll be done very soon."

Liu Xuewei had no choice but to sit down on the sofa to the side first.

After about ten minutes or so, Liu Qingli finally let out a heavy sigh, leaned back against the chair, and smiled: "Finally finished."

She looked at Liu Xuewei and smiled: "Sorry for making you wait so long. To show my apology, I'll treat you to dinner today. Let's go."

Liu Xuewei gave a sheepish smile and said: "We're friends, what's there to be sorry about for such a small thing? By the way, I suddenly have something else to do today, so I can't go shopping. Why don't you go by yourself? Or I can accompany you tomorrow?"

"Hmm?"

Liu Qingli carefully scrutinized Liu Xuewei's expression for a moment, watching the latter feel guilty and unable to help but dodge her gaze, before she suddenly said: "Is it another date with Su Xin?"

Liu Xuewei's expression stiffened, then she smiled awkwardly: "Yeah, it was hard enough for Su Xin to take the initiative to invite me to dinner; I really couldn't refuse. I have to put our shopping trip off until next time. Qingli, for the sake of my lifelong happiness, you won't blame me for such a small thing, right?"

Liu Qingli gave a light huff: "I'm busy every day, but you two—one is the company boss, the other is my friend—just watch me work myself to the bone, only knowing how to be lovey-dovey outside. You don't even know how to feel bad for me, and you're even standing me up!"

"I'll treat you to a big meal tomorrow, and then I'll pay for you to get a spa treatment to properly reward you."

As she said this, Liu Xuewei checked the time. While walking out, she said with a face full of apology: "It's almost time for the appointment, I have to leave work quickly. Qingli, see you later!"

When her voice faded, Liu Xuewei had already pulled open the office door and walked out quickly.

Watching the door close again, a wave of inexplicable bitterness suddenly surged in Liu Qingli's heart.

It wasn't that she was jealous of the gradually deepening relationship between her friend and Su Xin, nor could it be called envy; rather, she felt like a career woman who only knew how to work hard every day, while her life was nowhere near as carefree and easy as her friend's.

"Perhaps, I should start dating too."

Liu Qingli fell into a reverie, but soon shook her head and whispered helplessly:

"But with my current work state, where would I have the chance to meet any high-quality men? They are either middle-aged men who have already settled down, or young subordinates who hold me in awe. It was hard enough to find an excellent guy like Su Xin, and Xuewei snatched him up first."

"Even if Xuewei hadn't made a move, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to take the initiative, not to mention that Su Xin is even a few years younger than me."

"Oh well, let everything follow fate."

Liu Qingli sighed helplessly, packed her things, and left the company.

In a coffee shop across from the Yonghui Building.

After Su Xin went to the driving school to register and pay, it was already past five o'clock when he arrived here, so he simply sat in the coffee shop to wait.

Taking advantage of the rare free time, Su Xin opened his blog to take a look.

In the past few days, the trending searches regarding college entrance exam scores had faded, and instead, several trending searches related to applying for schools had appeared, along with some trending searches related to celebrities.

At this moment, Su Xin suddenly noticed a trending search term near the bottom—

Please Su Zong pay attention to overseas users.

After clicking into this trending search term and seeing the comments from many netizens, Su Xin finally understood how this trending search term came about.

It turned out that more than a week ago, after Tiantian Assistant released functional plug-ins like the input method and the Translator, Tiantian Assistant, which already had some audience abroad, quickly exploded in popularity within the circles of people of Long descent in many countries after many netizens spontaneously recommended and promoted the Translator.

You have to know.

The number of people of Long descent living and working overseas for a long time totals tens of millions across various countries, and if you add the massive number of people of Long descent traveling or on business trips, there are at least tens of millions more.

Among these people, more than half cannot communicate normally with foreigners in foreign languages, and instead have to rely on translation machines or rely on half-baked English skills, communicating by half-guessing.

And now, a translation software with explosive performance had emerged, immediately causing a sensation in these circles of people of Long descent who had translation needs.

After just a few days of word-of-mouth fermentation, the popularity of Tiantian Assistant spread rapidly, attracting countless overseas users to download and try it out.

Tiantian Assistant supports standalone use; they only need to go to the official website of Tiantian Assistant to download and use it directly.

However, when Tiantian Assistant is installed and tried for the first time, one must go online to register an account and bind the mobile phone identification code. Once the trial period ends, that phone cannot be used for a second trial and must be topped up to become a member to continue using it.

At this point, the biggest problem arose—

Tianqi Technology has no overseas payment channels, and coupled with the extremely strict control of funds entering and leaving the Long Country, foreign users simply cannot top up directly.

Even if they could buy a member account through an intermediary channel, it is too troublesome and unsafe, and for the vast majority of users, such a method is really not very reliable.

Consequently, many overseas users left comments hoping that Su Xin would open overseas top-up channels to satisfy the top-up needs of users of Long descent in various countries.

Besides this, many users also left comments hoping that Tiantian Assistant would add translation functions for other languages as soon as possible. After all, although English is the most widely used language in the world, in many countries, English is not the daily language.

After trying the Long-English bilingual translation function of Tiantian Assistant, everyone was full of confidence in Su Xin's ability and full of confidence in the power of Tiantian Assistant. As long as translation functions for other languages could be added, it would definitely be able to solve everyone's language communication problems in life in one fell swoop.

Of course, the users' ideas were good.

But in reality, the parsing of various languages is not the same thing at all. To add translation functions for other languages, one must first let Tiantian Assistant learn the grammatical logic of various languages, which is not something that can be completed in a day or two, and Su Xin currently does not have the energy to solve that.

Therefore, he can only ignore the problem of multi-language translation for the time being, but the problem of overseas user top-ups seems to need a solution.

After all, that is all money!

Su Xin began to ponder.
