Chapter 1578

"Did I see that right?"

Lin Xiao covered her chest and gasped for air as if she had done something bad, looking disbelieving.

"Oh my, really, you clearly saw it and still ask if you saw it wrong." Tang Wanru said, "Isn't that Nan Xiang and that Wang Yan? Nan Xiang showed Wang Yan something, and Wang Yan gave Nan Xiang money. I didn't see clearly how much. Hey, do you think Nan Xiang is secretly seeing Wang Yan?"

Before Lin Xiao could answer, Tang Wanru let her imagination run wild, "Hey, I'm being fair, just, and objective here: actually, Wang Yan is not bad. Even if he's not as rich as Gu Yuan, and not a local like Jian Xi who has a car, a house, and no worries about food or clothing, he's still a hundred times better than Xicheng."

"He's healthy, can fight, is healthy, and has ambition—look at him, he's already a college student starting a business, and he's healthy..."

"You're really crazy about men; look at where you've taken this."

Lin Xiao slapped her reproachfully, "Don't tell Gu Li about this. You know what Wang Yan did, and I'm afraid Gu Li will overthink it. Let's talk to Nan Xiang when we have a chance and ask her what kind of relationship she has with Wang Yan."

"I'm not a blabbermouth." Tang Wanru said, "Besides, it doesn't matter if Nan Xiang is seeing Wang Yan. After all, Wang Yan sent Xicheng to jail. If Nan Xiang can forgive him, shouldn't we say anything?"

"Nan Xiang can forgive him, but Gu Li can't. You know what Gu Li is like..."

Lin Xiao linked her arm with Tang Wanru's, "In short, just don't say anything. Let's go back."

"Don't worry, I've never been a blabbermouth."

"Are you not?"

"Am I?" Tang Wanru said righteously, "I admit, in the past, I did reveal some things, but that wasn't on purpose..."

Tang Wanru said it as if it were true, but when they arrived at the apartment outside the school and saw Gu Li, she spilled everything.

"Where's Nan Xiang? She didn't come?" Gu Li asked.

"Don't know, maybe she's hooking up with Wang Yan."

Tang Wanru giggled and just like that, she blurted out Wang Yan's name and even started a rumor, not knowing if it was intentional or accidental, or intentionally accidental...

"Who?" Gu Li turned her head abruptly as if she had a stress reaction, "Wang Yan? That psychopath?"

Tang Wanru also realized what she had done and covered her mouth, looking at Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao was speechless and didn't know what to say.

"I'm sorry, Lin Xiao, I didn't mean to." Tang Wanru said innocently.

Before Lin Xiao could speak, Gu Li glared over: "What are you two hiding from me? Speak! What's going on with Nan Xiang and that psychopath!"

Tang Wanru said: "Oh, actually it's nothing. It's just that when we were coming to find you, we saw Nan Xiang ahead and thought we'd tease her, but she went straight to find Wang Yan. You know, that website Wang Yan developed is in internal testing, and he's promoting it everywhere..."

"That psychopath gave Nan Xiang money? And lifted her chin, acting intimate?" Gu Li frowned and began to ponder, "What did she show the psychopath?"

Lin Xiao shook her head: "We don't know either. We were thinking of asking her later. Who knew she would have such a fast mouth and just blurt it out. On the way back, she even said your mouth was the tightest, but it turns out you're the big-mouthed one every time."

"You know me, Lin Xiao, I often don't use my brain, I'm used to being careless." Tang Wanru said pitifully, "Besides, we're all good sisters; it wouldn't be good for us two to know and hide it from Gu Li."

"More than just 'not good'? It's very bad!"

Gu Li glared at Lin Xiao, "Besides, even if Nan Xiang has something with that psychopath, it doesn't matter; it won't affect us anyway. But if they really have something, I have to say, Nan Xiang is truly cheap."

Lin Xiao walked over and hugged Gu Li: "Anyway, regardless of whether she has a relationship with that psychopath, Nan Xiang won't harm you. After all, we've been sisters for so many years; she wouldn't just abandon us for a man."

"That's hard to say." Gu Li said sarcastically, "People, you can't see what they're like normally; only when something really happens do you know what kind of person they are."

"Gu Li, you're talking nonsense. Nan Xiang used to help us fight; she has always stood with us."

Gu Li waved her hand impatiently: "Alright, stop talking. Nan Xiang is being cheap, and we can't control her. Let's go, let's go eat a big meal."

And so this became a secret among the three of them. Afterward, when they were with Nan Xiang, no one brought it up, no one asked why Nan Xiang was getting close to Wang Yan, and Tang Wanru's mouth seemed to have become tighter...

A few days passed, and Nan Xiang finally finished modifying the logo she drew according to Wang Yan's requirements. She even admired Wang Yan's ideas and aesthetics a bit, because it was just some changes and adjustments based on her design, and it ended up being better than what she had originally drawn.

"How is it?"

"This is the design I proposed, how else could it be? Of course it's good." Wang Yan raised his eyebrows at Nan Xiang, "Of course, your implementation is also not bad; it wasn't a waste of my five hundred yuan."

The logo wasn't complicated; it was a simplification of "life" and "living," and one could see traces of both. The trademark was adding the Chinese and English for "Zhenxuan Life" below the icon.

Of course, to avoid various "touch porcelain" (opportunistic litigation) issues, Wang Yan would take the opportunity to register a bunch of them, registering everything related to avoid messy trouble in the future.

Nan Xiang looked at Wang Yan: "You're quite shameless."

"Thank you, I'll take that as a compliment."

"You really think that's a strength?"

"Reality tells us that the more you lose your conscience, the more you earn, and the more of a hooligan, scoundrel, and shameless person you are, the more you take advantage. Of course, this is under equal conditions for both parties."

"Then that means you don't believe in retribution, so why did you tell Gu Yuan's mother that their family would face retribution?"

Wang Yan smiled at her: "Because their family really will face retribution."

"Are you going to report their family? Just like you threatened Gu Li before? You don't have evidence, right?"

"You're meddling a bit too much." Wang Yan glanced at her, "Anything else?"

"You're quite boring."

"You're even worse."

Nan Xiang was furious; she let out a long breath and said, "You seem to have quite an opinion of me?"

"I just didn't treat you in the way and attitude you expected, so that means I have an opinion of you?" Wang Yan reached out to cup her face and looked into her eyes seriously, "Wake up, Nan Xiang, the earth doesn't revolve around you."

"Why are you always so handsy?" Nan Xiang blushed from being stared at, so she broke free from Wang Yan's hand.

"I thought you liked it."

Looking at Wang Yan's innocent expression, Nan Xiang remembered how Wang Yan had belittled her for liking small-time hooligans, called her a little delinquent, said her mind was dirty, and so on, and she became unhappy again.

"I hope you go broke! I'm leaving!" She glared at Wang Yan with dissatisfaction, tossed her long hair, and was about to leave.

"Then you're going to be disappointed. In three months at the latest, I'll have assets of ten million; in a year at the latest, my assets will be several hundred million."

Nan Xiang turned her head back, saw Wang Yan holding the flyers with a grin, and offered her blessings: "Keep dreaming!"

"You don't understand the internet, you don't understand capital, and you understand the current market even less. Whether I'm dreaming or not, facts will give you the answer." Wang Yan said in a devil-may-care tone, "Go on, little delinquent."

Nan Xiang turned her head and left indignantly...

Standing in place, Wang Yan waved the flyers, enthusiastically greeting the people passing by...

Of course, Wang Yan wasn't bragging to Nan Xiang; everything he said was true.

Recently, he had been debating people on forums day and night, which had quite an effect. Users were distributed in a certain quantity across the three economic circles. At the same time, in a short period, relying on this continuous, high-intensity output, he had made a name for himself in the relevant sections of major forums.

Being able to "grind" (persist tirelessly) is also a quite impressive trait.

From after dinner every night until the early hours of the morning, Wang Yan was constantly answering various questions and debating with people. His output was quite dense, his logic was very tight, and he was clearly a high-end player with a complete knowledge system.

It wasn't that no one questioned whether he had a team operating, but his posts, which had a chronological order, consistent writing style, and consistent logical viewpoints, didn't need him to prove his innocence—netizens would output for him.

With dense output, reasonable arguments, and holding this set of logic that had yet to meet an opponent, having broken the mental defenses of countless people from theory to practice, it would be strange if he didn't become famous.

The internet era allows things to spread faster, allows more people to see, and allows more people to be seen. If Wang Yan wants to be famous, as long as he outputs his viewpoints, he will definitely become famous. If he wants to be famous faster, he just needs to throw out some extreme arguments.

After all, even in the ancient times of slow travel, Wang Yan could become a famous scholar of his generation through word of mouth and be a guest of honor everywhere, let alone in the modern era. The methods of personal marketing are always the same.

It was also because of this that people from some institutions naturally began to pay attention, and there was even no shortage of institutions that had already begun to contact Wang Yan, expressing that they wanted to hear Wang Yan, the founder, "paint a big picture" (pitch a vision), look at his PPT, and decide whether to conduct angel investment.

However, Wang Yan refused, because the 100,000 yuan loan could still last for a while, and his results could be even better. After all, he was starting a business at school; the venue, computers, personnel, and electricity were all the school's, and the students working had no money—it was nothing more than providing meals. Aside from servers, the biggest expense since starting the business had been printing flyers.

Even the people handing out flyers were tricked by him. Two boxed meals a day...

At the same time, during the preliminary testing, the results were quite good. When the 100,000 was spent, Wang Yan could continue to apply for loans.

Even if he didn't take a loan, Wang Yan still had Bitcoin in his hands. The currency value had already started to rise, with a new price every day. Retail investors and market makers had begun to enter the market, starting this round of carnival.

All Wang Yan had to do was let the money flow in legally, and there were too many ways to do that...

And besides this, in terms of products, Wang Yan had also begun to add functions.

Zhenxuan Life had connected to the interfaces of numerous group-buying and food delivery websites, achieving traffic diversion, and naturally, it had achieved profitability.

Users would evaluate the dishes of a certain restaurant and give good reviews. When other users saw it and wanted to order a portion to try, it wouldn't be convenient to switch out of the software to search and order on another application, so connecting to other applications was a natural thing.

At the same time, Wang Yan also had to compare prices across different platforms to save users the trouble.

This was something other websites were dying for; no matter how small the website, they had no reason to refuse. Therefore, the docking was very smooth, and it was currently being tested and was about to go online.

As for imitation and following the trend, Wang Yan wasn't afraid, because he really had the technology. He had already begun to combine big data and artificial intelligence. Those who followed him and copied him wouldn't be able to copy it clearly, and users would also discover who was truly providing objective evaluations.

Not to mention the various review manipulation by merchants and opponents causing trouble to mess up the website—all these were hurdles to overcome. Not everyone could hold on.

"Boss, the flyers are all handed out. We've basically run through all the girls' dormitories in our school."

In the office, a girl in a white sweater, jeans, and white shoes, with her long hair tied into a ponytail, walked to Wang Yan's side and leaned over to look at the computer screen in front of Wang Yan, "Debating with people again..."

Wang Yan finished typing with a clatter, clicked publish, and casually picked up two boxed meals from the table next to him and handed them over: "Lin Quan, you did well. Eating an extra box of rice counts as an extra meal."

This Lin Quan was the one who hooked up with Jian Xi and went abroad together.

"Wow, no way, only one box of rice? You know I haven't even been going to class lately just to help you hand out flyers..."

"Stop, don't be so self-moved; everyone is fighting for a better future. You're working hard, not for me. This company belongs to everyone who participates; you are all the initial angel investors. If it doesn't succeed, then you've worked hard for nothing. If it succeeds, then I can definitely say that as long as the company doesn't collapse, these people won't go hungry."

"You're just good at tricking people." Lin Quan pouted and opened a box of rice, "Oh, braised pork today."

"Although there's no money for working, the food isn't bad."

"I've noticed you especially like to eat."

"Eating, drinking, shitting, and pissing—eating is the first priority."

Lin Quan retorted: "There's also clothing, food, housing, and transportation."

"If you've started looking for clothes to wear, that means you're not very hungry; I'm still hungry."

"That's sophistry."

"That's survival."

Wang Yan ate his meal in big mouthfuls and then asked, "Your family conditions are quite good, why did you think of coming to work for me?"

"Startups can get more training."

"Then can you tell me, what are you doing always asking me about Gu Li and Lin Xiao?"

"Curiosity. Gu Yuan is also a celebrity in school, and he was sent to jail by you, so everyone is quite curious. I'm a bit bolder, and I also wanted to train myself, so I asked you when I wanted to know the details. I think you should tell me properly why, to satisfy my gossip heart—that would count as giving me a bonus."

"You did do quite well." Wang Yan nodded with a smile, "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that when I met Gu Li, it wasn't very pleasant, so I satirized her. Gu Yuan is her boyfriend, right? So he spent money to get people to find trouble for me. The result, of course, was that I displayed my great power, beat them to a pulp, and finally, under the fair handling of the police, Gu Yuan was detained for three months and received the punishment he deserved."

"That's too perfunctory. How did you satirize Gu Li? And how did Gu Yuan find those people? It couldn't have been judged directly, right? There must have been a reconciliation procedure, and Gu Yuan's family is so rich..."

Wang Yan finished his meal in a few bites: "Then you have to do more work to make me believe your mouth can be kept shut. If it spreads, since there's already a grudge, wouldn't the grudge become even bigger? Clean up and go back to rest; I'll arrange new tasks for you tomorrow. I have to work; I have to develop and debate—sigh, I have to stay up until the early hours again today..."

"Stingy..."

Lin Quan pouted in dissatisfaction, but she was sensible enough not to continue disturbing Wang Yan, instead eating her boxed meal on the side while watching Wang Yan reply with a clatter, using it to help her eat.

Afterward, she really did clean up the office with the others before leaving...
