Finally, at noon, Fu Xin hurriedly opened the backend data.

Apart from Chen Ke, the other three were all huddled in front of the computer, their eyes glued to the screen, holding their breath in tension.

"Hey, it's out, it's out."

The four of them instinctively leaned closer to take a look.

!!

"My God, am I seeing things? Two, two hundred million?" The operations director was so shocked that he started to stutter.

The other three weren't much better off; they were all dumbfounded.

Fu Xin was speechless for a long time. At its peak, he had more than 30,000 users, and he was quite pleased with himself back then. But compared to his current number of users, it was nothing at all.

The four people stared blankly at the screen, as if the string of numbers had magic. Chen Ke strolled over and casually asked, "What was the transaction amount?"

"Ah, right, let's look at the transaction volume."

······

There was a moment of absolute silence, followed by a burst of high-pitched cheers.

"Wow, one hundred million! My God, my God!" Fu Xin completely disregarded his image, his face turning red with excitement.

The two directors behind him hugged each other in celebration, and Secretary Zhou couldn't help but cheer a few times. Only Chen Ke remained relatively composed, though he was also all smiles.

One hundred million is not a lot, but the fact that Dingdang had such a large transaction volume within half a day of its launch was still quite unexpected for Chen Ke.

At this rate, it probably won't be long before Dingdang starts making a profit.

"President Fu, hurry up and get Yingyun to set up the IDC." The current servers probably won't last long.

Fu Xin, who was immersed in ecstasy, immediately came to his senses after hearing Chen Ke's words. Oh right, with the current number of users, their servers are very likely to crash!

Chairman Chen is truly visionary. Yesterday he was wondering why we suddenly decided to build an IDC, but today he understands completely.

"I must say, Chairman Chen, you really have foresight! I'll contact Yingyun right away." Fu Xin gave Chen Ke a thumbs up with great admiration.

The other three also looked at him with admiration.

They had previously hesitated and doubted whether it was the right decision for them to switch jobs to this company, but now it seems that their decision may be the best decision of their lives.

The launch of Dingdang was so sensational that it naturally attracted attention from all sides, but before Dingdang released its data results, most people were still in a wait-and-see state.

Relying on his recent friendship with Chen Kegang, and given his straightforward nature, Li Xu decided to call and inquire directly.

As soon as Chen Ke answered the phone, Li Xu got straight to the point and asked, "Brother Chen, how were the data this morning?" He even changed how he addressed Chen Ke.

Chen Ke raised the corners of his mouth, "Thanks to Mr. Li's concern, the data is not bad. The number of users has reached 200 million, and the transaction volume has reached 100 million."

"..." There was no sound for a long time on the other end. After a while, Li Xu's stammering voice finally came from the phone, "Brother Chen, you're not kidding me, are you?"

"No, Mr. Li. I just looked at the data."

"Really? Hahaha, I knew I, Li Xu, wouldn't misjudge people. You're really amazing, Brother Chen! Hahaha, Brother Chen, do you have time this afternoon? Let's sign the contract this afternoon. I can't wait." Li Xu originally thought that Chen Ke's mall would take at least a while to develop, but he didn't expect it to take off right away. So he had to hurry up and sign the contract.

Chen Ke readily agreed, "Okay, Mr. Li, I'll come see you this afternoon."

······

Anxian County, County Middle School.

Chen Guo was trapped in the girls' restroom, her school uniform completely soaked.

The girl in the lead had long, flowing hair, heavy makeup, and brightly painted nails. She pointed at Chen Guo and said, "Chen Guo, let me tell you, don't be ungrateful. It's an honor that my cousin has taken a liking to you."

"That's right, come out with us tonight, Chun-ge will treat you to dinner." After saying that, the other girl glared at Chen Guo, her eyes even showing a hint of jealousy.

"I'm not going, I have evening self-study tonight."

"Oh, just ask for leave. Master Jin likes you so much, she'll definitely agree to your leave right away."

"I want to study," Chen Guo said firmly.

She knew that if she didn't go out, she might just be cornered in the toilet and subjected to some ridicule and insults, or get hit a couple of times. But once she went out, who knew what awaited her?

The thought of Ma Jun's disgusting, lustful gaze made her want to vomit. She would rather die than leave; once she did, no one would be there to help her.

"Hehe, what's the use of studying? I heard your brother is an excellent student and even got into Peking University, but so what? Your family is still dirt poor. People need to face reality."

Don't believe everything your teachers say. Getting into university can change your destiny? Hahaha, don't make me laugh! Those kids are born at the finish line, while you're just barely standing at the starting line even if you get into university. What do you have to compare with them? Let me tell you, Chen Guo, my cousin's family is powerful and influential. If you just get together with him…”

"Sister Xuan, hurry up, Abbess Miejue is here." Wang Xuan was interrupted by the girl keeping watch at the door before she could finish speaking.

Wang Xuan cursed and shoved Chen Guo before hurriedly leaving with her people, not forgetting to threaten Chen Guo a couple of times before she left.

"If I don't see you at the school gate after school, you're dead tomorrow."

Chen Guo slammed heavily against the wall, a sharp pain shooting through her protruding shoulder blade. Tears welled up in her eyes instantly, but she gritted her teeth and held them back.

Jin Fang hurried into the women's restroom, looking anxious. "Guoguo, Guoguo, are you in there?"

Chen Guo replied as calmly as possible, "Teacher Jin, I'm here."

"What's wrong with you? Why aren't you in class yet?" Jin Fang had been invited by Liu Ruo, but Liu Ruo stammered and couldn't explain herself clearly, so Jin Fang had to come and see for herself.

"Teacher, my stomach hurts a little. I'll go back after I use the restroom."

"Are you alright? Should we go to the clinic?" Jin Fang asked worriedly, hearing that her beloved student was feeling unwell.

"No need, thank you, Teacher Jin. I'll be done in a minute."

"Okay, if anything is wrong, be sure to tell the teacher."

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Jin."

After Jin Fang left, Chen Guo took off her school uniform and came out of the restroom. Luckily, she was wearing black clothes underneath, so it wasn't noticeable that they were wet. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to leave the restroom today.

Back in the classroom, Liu Ruo quickly draped her school uniform over Chen Guo's shoulders upon seeing the situation. "Did they do this? That's outrageous, Guo Guo. Let's tell Teacher Jin. Teacher Jin will help you."

“If I tell the teachers, they will only make things worse. Teacher Jin can help me at school, but no one can help me outside of school.”

"Then let your dad or mom come pick you up. I don't believe they would dare to bully you like this if there are adults around."
