"Ding~!"
The long-awaited system notification sound rang in my mind.
Lin Chen looked at the system store and, sure enough, it had been updated. The MiXin icon had disappeared, and in its place was an app called "Huasuan Payment".
Moreover, this time, the system also provided an option.
"We have detected that the third-party payment system in the host's parallel universe is relatively underdeveloped. Therefore, we have updated the third-party payment software with a higher security level and stronger protection capabilities. However, this exchange requires not only Single Coins, but also the host's commitment that one-thousandth of the transaction amount of every transaction through this payment software will be donated to charity. Does the host agree?"
Lin Chen clicked "agree" without hesitation.
Lin Chen possessed the understanding that "when poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, one should benefit all under heaven."
"Ding~! 200 Single Coins deducted, redemption successful."
Immediately afterwards, countless lines of code flooded into Lin Chen's mind. Three seconds later, Lin Chen came to his senses and felt dizzy and lightheaded.
"Lin Chen, it's time to get off work."
An Rou pushed open the door and came in, seeing Lin Chen lying on the sofa with lifeless eyes and a pale face.
"Oh, Lin Chen, are you alright?"
Startled, An Rou quickly came over and touched Lin Chen's forehead; thankfully, it wasn't hot.
"What could possibly happen to me? I feel incredibly strong right now, I can work overtime for a hundred hours straight!"
Upon hearing this, An Rou realized that it wasn't just a simple fever, but that his brain had malfunctioned. So she gently patted Lin Chen's head and said, "Good boy, it's time to go home and have dinner."
As Lin Chen listened to An Rou's gentle voice and looked at her lips so close to his, he recalled the time An Rou had kissed him at a bar in Beijing and couldn't help but feel a little thirsty.
"Boss, our new game..."
When Dawei saw that Lin Chen's door was open, he rushed in and saw the scene before him.
"Um... um, boss, you guys go ahead and get busy, I'll come back in a bit."
"Ahem, stop right there, come back here, what's the matter?"
An Rou hurriedly walked away from Lin Chen, and Lin Chen also stood up and walked to the boss's chair to sit down.
Dawei turned around, glanced awkwardly at Anrou, but then excitedly said to Lin Chen, "Boss, our second game, Honkai Impact 3rd, has completed testing and is ready to launch!"
"Oh? So fast? I'll go check."
As he spoke, he stood up, picked up his phone, and glanced at the screen as usual.
"Huh? It's already five o'clock? I'm not watching anymore, everyone's off work. I'll watch it tomorrow, Anrou, let's go."
Then, she took Anrou and walked out of the office in front of Dawei, who was looking at her expectantly, leaving Dawei alone in the air conditioning, looking bewildered.
After dinner, the two happened to pass by Heytea. Anrou said she would go and get two cups of milk tea. Zhang Xiuxiu was no longer at the Shanghai Jiaotong University store. She had been transferred by Fatty to be the Shanghai regional manager, responsible for the management of all Heytea stores and the training of staff in Shanghai.
Liu Mei is now the store manager. When she saw Lin Chen and An Rou coming over, she stepped forward and said, "President Lin, you're here. What would you like to drink?"
"A cup of cheese and grape juice, a cup of brown sugar boba milk tea, how about it? How's it going being the store manager?"
Liu Mei smiled and said, "I never thought that being a store manager would involve so many things. Sister Xiuxiu is really amazing."
"Do a good job. In the future, Heytea will open stores all over the country, and you will all have the opportunity to become regional managers, with corresponding salary and benefits."
"Thank you, Mr. Lin!"
After getting the milk tea, the two walked and drank it.
An Rou exclaimed, "I never imagined that just six months ago I would be working at a bubble tea shop, and now I can drink bubble tea for free."
"Stop lamenting. How about I cancel your free pass and let you experience it again?"
"Lin Chen, do you want to die?!"
"Sigh, I never expected that six months ago I could threaten you with a pay cut, and now you've become my sister."
"Hehe, this feels so good."
Back in 1901, Lin Chen, who claimed he never worked overtime, took out his computer and started writing code again.
The system provided convenient payment codes for both desktop and mobile devices, making the project massive. Lin Chen wanted to hurry up and develop the desktop version first, since smartphones weren't yet widespread and the online shopping market was still dominated by desktop computers.
However, before starting to work overtime, Lin Chen took out his phone and sent a message to Su Xiaowan.
"Xiao Wan, come to the company tomorrow, I have something to do."
"Okay, I only have two classes tomorrow morning, I'll come over after that."
You must fulfill the promises you make to the system, especially when it comes to doing charity.
Then, Lin Chen started typing away on the keyboard in the living room, just like a miserable online novelist in front of a screen.
Lin Chen didn't know what time he was busy until, but he fell asleep on the sofa in the living room. In the middle of the night, An Rou came out of her room to get a drink of water and saw Lin Chen sleeping on the sofa. She went over, turned up the air conditioner in the living room, and took a blanket from the sofa to cover him up.
Looking at Lin Chen's long, beautiful eyelashes, An Rou bent down and kissed Lin Chen's lips, blushing as she whispered, "Coward, if you don't dare to kiss me, I will."
The next morning, Lin Chen woke up on the sofa with a sore back and stretched, then took out his phone to browse Weibo.
"Um?"
Lin Chen saw a piece of news that really interested him: Capital tycoon Xu Maodong acquired Wowo Group and joined the group-buying battlefield.
Lin Chen had heard of Xu Maodong in his previous life, mainly because Xu's money laundering methods shocked the authorities. He first borrowed 1.5 billion yuan from a trust company to acquire shares in two listed companies in the traditional manufacturing industry. After gaining control of the two companies, he used them as collateral for the loan to the trust company.
In this way, it's as if he has already detached himself from this loan. Even if he can't repay the money, and the two companies are auctioned off, he won't suffer any loss.
Following that, he used a series of marketing tactics to drive up the stock prices of the two companies, then sold the stocks and cashed out 1 billion yuan. Moreover, he shamelessly sold some of his own worthless assets to the two companies at high prices, so in the end, all the money from the two companies went into his personal pocket.
Ultimately, the marketing campaign failed, and the stocks of both companies began to plummet, with prices hitting the daily limit down for several consecutive days. An official investigation revealed that a speculator had been manipulating the scheme. However, under existing laws, the maximum penalty was a fine of 900,000 yuan, which was negligible. After further consideration, the only recourse was to ban him from the securities market for life as a deterrent.
But this guy had already absconded with the money and gone to America.
Thinking about this, Lin Chen felt he should do something. He absolutely couldn't let so many Chinese people be cheated by such unscrupulous entrepreneurs who then took the people's money to the US. It was utterly shameless.
