"Lucky Koi Arrives" 2.0 Launched
Since that thrilling "venture capital roadshow", Yu Jinli feels like her life has been put on fast forward.
The very next day, a subsidiary of the Feng Group called "Koi Technology" was registered and established at a speed that can only be described as rocket-like.
And she, Yu Jinli, transformed herself from a self-employed individual struggling to make ends meet into a co-founder and chief product experience officer holding 30% of the shares in this promising upstart tech company.
Of course, the CEO is still Feng Jinxuan.
In Assistant Wang's words, this is called "leaving professional matters to professionals."
Yu Jinli had no objection to this.
After all, her main job has been upgraded from "selling good luck online" to "being a plaything and tutor for the domineering CEO," so she really doesn't have the extra energy to worry about the company's management issues.
Moreover, the team that Feng Jinxuan assembled for her was a dream team that could be described as luxurious.
The head of the technology department is a balding, plaid-shirt-wearing, god-level programmer who was supposedly poached by Feng Jinxuan from a top international internet company with three times his salary.
The marketing director was replaced by a PR queen who was decisive and eloquent, comparable to a stand-up comedian.
For the next month, Yu Jinli's daily work consisted of attending various "product seminars" that left her dizzy and disoriented.
The atmosphere in the conference room was always filled with a certain... magical realism.
"Director Yu," the tech guru would point to rows of complex code and ask with a serious expression, "Regarding the core threshold of this 'luck hedging algorithm,' do you think we should set it to a dynamic mode of 'the stronger the opponent, the stronger it becomes,' or a conservative mode of 'stable output'?"
Yu Jinli stared blankly at the incomprehensible code.
She could only bite the bullet and answer, "I think...it depends on fate."
Tech guru: "..."
"Director Yu," the PR queen asked passionately, holding a beautifully crafted promotional plan, "regarding our app's first wave of promotional slogans, do you think 'Technology changes destiny, metaphysics illuminates life' is better, or 'Hello, Koi! Your portable good luck expert' is more likely to spread?"
Yu Jinli thought for a moment and then seriously suggested, "I think 'Forward this lucky koi and you'll get a promotion and a raise tomorrow' might be more direct."
PR Queen: "..."
Although the process was filled with various cross-server chat errors, with the support of Feng's Group's strong technical capabilities and financial resources, the "Koi is Coming" APP version 2.0 was developed and internally tested at an astonishing speed.
That day, the tech genius walked into the CEO's office carrying a laptop.
"President Feng, Director Yu," he adjusted his glasses, his face beaming with barely suppressed excitement, "After a month of our team's tireless efforts, the Koi Fish App version 2.0 has completed its final testing and is ready to go live at any time."
Yu Jinli's eyes lit up instantly.
She leaned closer to the computer, staring at the brand-new APP interface on the screen, which was full of futuristic technology, and was so excited that she almost screamed on the spot.
That's so cool!
The original 1.0 version was something she made herself, spending 500 yuan to hire college students online as part-time workers. The interface was rudimentary, and the functions were limited; it relied entirely on her personal charm and her lucky streak to keep it afloat.
This 2.0 version is a complete upgrade!
Not only is the UI design high-end and sophisticated, but it also adds many new features that she never dared to imagine before.
"...Based on your 'lucky charm' characteristics, we've developed a brand-new 'luck algorithm'," the tech guru explained enthusiastically. "It can monitor your luck reserves in real time and intelligently recommend the number of orders you can accept that day and the intensity of your 'good luck' based on those reserves, minimizing the risk of 'overdrawing your luck'."
"In addition, we have added a 'Merit Mall' section. Users can accumulate 'Merit Points' by completing some of our daily good deeds, such as 'helping an elderly lady cross the street' or 'feeding stray cats'. Merit Points can be used to redeem 'Discount Lucky Charms' in the mall or participate in the 'Lucky Draw' event."
"This design not only increases user engagement, but also... well, it will accumulate merit for you and benefit your... long-term development."
As he finished speaking, his expression became somewhat complicated.
Clearly, asking a staunch materialist programmer to design a "merit" system would be a tremendous spiritual challenge for him.
Yu Jinli's eyes lit up when she heard this.
So professional! Absolutely professional!
This is the true, metaphysical business model of sustainable development!
"Go online!" she waved her hand, displaying a commanding presence reminiscent of a female CEO. "Immediately! Right now!"
With the powerful channel promotion of Fengshi Group, the Koi Fish Arrives APP version 2.0 became an instant hit across the internet upon its launch.
#Young people today are starting to pray for good luck online#
#The Most Mystical App in History#
#Do a good deed every day and you can win a phone#
One trending topic after another quickly dominated the trending lists on major social media platforms.
Yu Jinli held his phone, watching the number of registered users and the amount of money generated in the backend skyrocket like a rocket, and laughed like a 200-pound fool.
She felt as if she could already see the Forbes rich list, made of gold, with her name on it, not far away.
She was happily daydreaming when suddenly, on the "Personal Center" interface of the app, she discovered a new feature that she hadn't noticed before.
[Exclusive VIP Badge]
Curious, she clicked on it and saw the description: This logo is exclusive to the largest shareholder of Koi Technology and has a unique, dazzling seven-color marquee effect.
Yu Jinli: "..."
Just how flashy is this guy?!
Before she could even complain, she saw a familiar yet unfamiliar ID on the "Rich Man's Reward List" of the "Merit Mall".
That ID, with an overwhelming advantage, topped the list.
The ID is anonymous.
But the recipient of the 999 "Super Rockets" that were tipped, each worth 10,000 yuan, was none other than herself.
And that tipping moment was just now, when she and Feng Jinxuan announced the official launch of the app.
Yu Jinli looked at the anonymous ID and the long string of zeros that followed, feeling a mix of emotions.
This man is always like this.
He expressed his unique, clumsy support in the most naive, direct, and even somewhat silly way.
A certain part of her heart was incredibly soft.
She exited the online store and, almost unconsciously, clicked on the newly added "Wishing Square" section of the app.
It's a place similar to a tree hole or a wishing well, where all users can anonymously post their wishes.
Most of their wishes are mundane everyday things like "I hope I don't fail my exams," "I hope I get a raise next month," or "I hope the person I love loves me back."
Yu Jinli scrolled through the screen, looking at these wishes full of everyday life, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.
She felt that what she was doing was more than just a business.
It's more like collecting and passing on small, warm hopes.
Just then, her fingers suddenly stopped.
At the very top of the square, there is a Supreme VIP Prayer Post that is permanently pinned to the top by the system and emits a seven-colored light.
That post contained only one sentence.
It's short and simple.
May she always be safe and happy.
There is no subject, nor any fancy words.
But when Yu Jinli looked at that sentence, she felt her eyes sting a little.
With trembling hands, she clicked on the poster's ID.
That ID wasn't anonymous like it was in the online store.
Instead, it was a word that resonated deeply with her, a word that could completely shatter all her defenses.
——Chase.
