Chapter 442 He Yu Has a Problem
Shen Boyan nodded, "It's alright, you can play with it for now. Actually, the regular version of this software is fine, there's no need for the upgraded version."
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Qiao Xing felt a little sorry for the three hundred US dollars; she would have to cancel the renewal as soon as possible.
"You didn't ask and just activated it without saying a word. But it's okay, the upgraded version is better. Let's use the upgraded version to connect her."
Qiao Xing blinked. "Will it be reimbursed?"
"You think you can just open it? What's a little money to worry about?"
"Isn't that for work? I haven't earned a single penny here, I've even lost money. No way, if you don't reimburse me, I'm canceling my subscription!"
"Report, report, report." Shen Boyan said "report" three times in a very perfunctory manner, and then added, "You are a shareholder yourself, so why don't you just report it to yourself?"
Qiao Xing thought about it and realized it made sense. "Oh right, I forgot I'm also a shareholder."
Shen Boyan glanced at her with amusement, then turned and returned to his seat.
Qiao Xing played with the model for a while and was shocked to discover that it could actually write code. She tried to get it to write a small program, and it actually wrote it in no time.
What would take her a week to write, she finished in two minutes?
She immediately asked Shen Boyan, "Shen Boyan, since this can be coded, do we still need to hire people?"
Shen Boyan typed on the keyboard without looking up, "Of course I need it. There are some things it can't write. You'll find out once you play around with it some more."
Qiao Xing said "oh" and then tried to take out the previous proposal and start structuring it. Sure enough, problems arose.
First, there's a character limit; second, it only writes a bunch of useless stuff based on the prompt words; and third, when you add more prompts, the output is different from the previous one, and after a while, it forgets the previous content.
So this thing is indeed useful, but it's only suitable for laying out code; you can't use it to write a complete program.
But once you first get to know this AI, it's quite addictive, and Qiao Xing keeps playing with it.
Playing from the moment I get to get off work until I get off work, and still playing when I get home.
She played day and night for three whole days until Tao Yang asked her why Li Ya hadn't made the payment yet, and Qiao Xing finally woke up from her dream.
He Yu said she would make the advance payment within three days, but it's been five days now and there's still no sign of it.
"Let me ask."
Qiao Xing found He Yu's WeChat and sent her a message asking about the prepayment.
He Yu: Sorry, the finance person took the past two days off. I'll ask her when she's at work tomorrow.
Qiao Xing vaguely sensed something unusual, but all she could do was reply "okay".
When Tao Yang found out, he said irritably, "Fine, it's the same old trick again. The finance person takes leave, then next time it's because they missed the unified payment period, and the time after that it's because they resigned."
"No way?"
"Of course it will happen. We've encountered this many times. They always tell us to do it first, and then they'll transfer the payment along with the final payment later."
Once they've finished and given you the code, the other party immediately blocks and disappears.
Later, they got smarter and wouldn't give out the code until they saw the money. Then the person in charge would play the victim and say that he would pay them part of the money first in order to hand over the code.
After giving the message, they blocked and deleted me, then disappeared.
So now when he hears the words "finance department is on leave," he feels terrible.
"Didn't you sign a contract? You can sue us."
Tao Yang said, "It's no use. Where would we get the money to go to court? Besides, it's not like we haven't tried before. They're too lazy to even show up in court. They just keep dragging it out. They can afford to wait, but we can't."
Tao Yang said earnestly, "Not everything can be resolved by going to court."
Qiao Xing was somewhat shocked; she hadn't expected these things at all.
But then she remembered something else, "But you told me before that this was your first job, how come you've encountered so many strange clients?"
Tao Yang scratched his head, looking embarrassed, and said, "The first job I mentioned was the first development contract, not an outsourcing job."
Qiao Xing gave him a strange look.
Tao Yang added, "He talked to me about revenue sharing; we'll split the profits after it goes live."
"Oh, is it online yet?"
"Not yet, oh my god, I almost forgot. He told me to do it first, and then sign the contract after it's done. I hope I haven't been scammed again?"
Shen Boyan asked, "Did you provide the code?"
"Of course not, there's no contract signed, why would I give it to him? I just gave them a demo."
"Then let's wait and see."
Qiao Xing wiped the sweat from her forehead. There were so many traps, but she still trusted Xiao Lin. Surely she wouldn't renege on this small amount of money?
There was nothing she could do but wait until the next day.
The next afternoon, near the end of the workday, she sent another message to He Yu to ask her about it.
He Yu's reply chilled her to the bone; it was exactly what Tao Yang had said.
He Yu said that the payment would be made on the 1st. She had already submitted the application and the payment would be made on the 1st. She told them to keep working on it and that the payment would definitely be made.
After reading the message, Qiao Xing looked up blankly. There were three people standing opposite her, all staring at her.
Tao Yang asked, "How is it?"
Qiao Xing twitched the corner of her mouth: "She said the payment can only be made on the 1st."
Tao Yang immediately deflated, "I knew it."
Shen Boyan said cautiously, "A company as big as theirs shouldn't be trying to renege on this small amount of money. The problem lies with He Yu. I'll ask her out tonight to talk and see if she's deliberately delaying because of what happened last time, or..."
"Or what?"
Shen Boyan sneered, "You still want a kickback."
Qiao Xing was even more shocked, "No way?"
Tao Yang nodded in agreement, "I think it's possible. Maybe both reasons are true. We've encountered this before."
They had encountered this before: the middleman demanded a 90% kickback before agreeing to give them the job.
This group of people has huge appetites; they want to stuff everything into their own pockets. So, we just give them two thousand yuan to get rid of them, and sometimes we don't even want to give them two thousand yuan.
Shen Boyan turned and left. He took out his phone and sent a message to He Yu, asking her to meet him.
Qiao Xing glanced at the time; it was time for her to leave work.
Sitting in the car, Qiao Xing's mind was completely blank.
She had heard Qin Ce say before that starting a business was difficult, but she hadn't experienced it herself and didn't think much of it at the time. Now that she has experienced it firsthand, she realizes there are so many intricacies involved.
She thought that knowing Xiao Lin meant the project was a sure thing, but who knew He Yu would cause trouble.
Qiao Xing sighed, leaned against the car window, and asked Xing Jiu, who was driving, "What is Qin Ce doing?"
Xing Jiu drove without saying a word.
Qiao Xing called out to him.
He belatedly glanced at the rearview mirror and asked, "Miss Qiao, are you talking to me?"
"Yes, am I talking to myself?"
Xing Jiu scratched his head. "I don't know. You should call him and ask him yourself."
Qiao Xing pursed her lips, picked up her phone, and then put it back.
He hasn't called her in all this time; they've only chatted on WeChat. He's never called her once.
With that thought in mind, Qiao Xing decided not to call him anymore.
