"We're already preparing to make a prototype. The appearance hasn't changed, but the hardware performance has been improved—it's faster and stronger. But buddy, what were you planning to do with the design department's request for an even cheaper smartphone the other day?"
“Hey, Jun-ge, this is something I thought of when we were talking about iPads the other day. Although our Xiaomi phone is priced at 1999, it’s not expensive. But we’ve only considered people in big cities, since incomes are higher in big cities. But what about those smaller cities and rural areas? They still can’t afford it.”
“You’re right. Xiaomi’s goal is to enable everyone to enjoy the fun of technology. Some people may not need such a high-definition screen or a high-definition camera, but they can still enjoy the fun that smartphones bring.”
"Yes, I plan to call this series of phones Redmi phones, and release them together with the next generation of Xiaomi phones."
"By the way, what will the next generation of Xiaomi phones be called? Xiaomi Phone 2?"
"How about we call it Xiaomi Phone 1S? Speed, meaning faster speed."
"Okay, then we'll have three new products at our fall launch event: the Xiaomi Mi 1S, the Redmi phone, and the Xiaomi TV."
Lin Chen spent the whole day on the 27th floor. Just before he was about to leave work, An Rou sent him a message telling him to cook hot pot when he got home that night.
After getting off work, Lin Chen drove back to 1901, opened the door, and found that Miss and Su Xiaowan were both there.
"Why are you here?"
"Come eat hot pot! Sister Anrou invited us."
"That's great! Hot pot is more lively when there are many people. It's a pity that Fatty is a guy who values women over friends and is running around with his Senior Yan."
"Hehe, that's called being in a good position. He and Senior Yan are together every day, it's hard not for something to happen, tsk tsk tsk."
Upon hearing this, An Rou glanced at Lin Chen and saw that Lin Chen was also looking at her.
"Come on, cheers! No, we need to give this group of four a name. Hmm... how about we call ourselves the New Shanghai Four?"
"Lin Chen, your name selection is so unoriginal, you just added the character 'new'."
"It sounds nice and it's easy to remember, isn't that great? Come on, let's take a group photo."
Lin Chen took a photo and posted it on Weibo with the caption: "The four members of the New Shanghai Bund get together for hot pot!"
"Wow, Lin Gou, what a wonderful life you're living! It's simply a feast for the eyes."
"Upstairs, are you talking about hot pot, or about people?"
"A cute loli, a girl next door, a pure and mature woman, Mr. Lin, your life is my dream."
"Mr. Lin, leave your address, and I'll send you some local specialties."
Lin Chen was enjoying his hotpot, accompanied by the vinegar comments from netizens, and was having a great time.
Looking at Lin Chen's cheeky expression, An Rou couldn't help but sigh, "Lin Chen, you're a billionaire, how come you act like a child, always trying to make netizens happy?"
"Haha, how interesting! This year's netizens are all handsome and have such pleasant conversations." (Just like my readers!)
"I'm afraid you might get a sack over your head and be beaten up one day when you go out."
"How could that be? I'm such a handsome young man, who would have the heart to put a sack over my head?"
At this moment, An Rou picked up her phone, took a picture of Lin Chen eating hot pot in a cheeky manner, and posted it under Lin Chen's previous Weibo post, commenting: "Anyone else want to put a sack over his head and knock him out like me?"
The comment section immediately exploded.
"Wow, a cute little girl has appeared."
"Haha, I'm relieved to see that the young lady has this attitude."
"Lin Gou's expression is too smug. When you're hitting him with the club, remember to hit him for me too."
"Miss, leave your address and I'll send you my spiked club."
Within minutes, Anrou's reply had received thousands of likes.
"See? The eyes of the masses are discerning."
After finishing their hot pot meal, An Rou, Shen Yue, and Su Xiaowan chatted in the living room, while Lin Chen was forced to clean up the dishes. As everyone knows, cleaning up hot pot is the most tiring task, because the oil was even more greasy than Huang Xiaoming's.
After finally finishing cleaning up, Lin Chen walked out of the kitchen, and An Rou said, "Lin Chen, Shen Yue and Xiao Wan are staying here tonight, so you'll have to sleep on the sofa."
Lin Chen: ? ? ?
In the end, it was decided that An Rou and Xiao Wan would share a room, while Shen Yue would sleep in Lin Chen's room, because the young lady said she was quite noisy at night, and Lin Chen would naturally have to sleep on the sofa.
In the middle of the night, Lin Chen vaguely felt someone beside him. He reached out and touched them, and sure enough, he felt something soft. Huh? What was that? It startled him awake.
When I opened my eyes, I was surprised to see the young lady.
"Young Miss, it's the middle of the night, you're going to scare people to death."
"Lin Chen, although, could you please let go of my hand first?"
"Huh? Oh, oh, oh." Lin Chen released his hand from Shen Yue's chest.
Shen Yue sat on the carpet next to the sofa, straightened her clothes, and said, "I couldn't sleep, so I came out to get some water. I saw that you had kicked off your blanket, so I came over to cover you up."
"Haha, thank you! I always kick off the covers at night, how come you can't sleep?"
"Lin Chen, the school had an opportunity to study abroad at the University of Colombia, and I got the offer. But now, I'm struggling with whether or not I should go."
"Go ahead, why not? I remember the medical program at the University of Columbia is quite famous."
"If I go, I won't see you... for a whole year."
"What does it matter? It's only a year. Besides, if I have the chance to go to America, I can come and visit you for a few days."
"Really?"
Lin Chen suddenly remembered that he might be going to America to acquire shares in Riot Games in a while, so he said, "I might have to go to America in a while too."
"If I decide to go, I'll go as soon as school starts in September."
"Then maybe I can go with you. Go ahead, this is a rare opportunity. I promise you, I will come to see you often."
"It's a deal, okay? You can't lie to me."
"Miss, when have I ever lied to you? I'm such an honest and upright child."
"Hehe, I'm going to sleep now."
"good evening."
The next morning, Lin Chen woke up on the sofa with a sore back. "Ugh, this sofa is too hard. I guess I'm more suited to being a kept man than to doing this kind of hard work."
Lin Chen stood up and stretched. An Rou and the other two were still in bed, so Lin Chen went out to buy them breakfast.
"Pack four of these meals for me."
Lin Chen went downstairs to the KFC. The cashier skillfully took the money and gave change. Lin Chen smiled and asked, "Isn't it troublesome to handle cash like this every day?"
Seeing that he was a handsome young man, the cashier replied enthusiastically, "It's alright, I'm used to it. It's just that sometimes it's a bit troublesome when the banknotes are damaged. I can't refuse to accept them, and even if I do, I have to carefully place them aside to avoid further damage."
