After ending the chat in the group, Lin Chen put down his phone to write some code. As the boss, he also had to work overtime. Who could he complain to?
The phone rang again. Lin Chen picked it up and saw that it was a private message from Shen Yue.
"Lin Chen, I've prepared a Christmas present for you. Don't forget to prepare one for me too, or you're dead meat [knife]."
"Young lady, you're not going to pack up all those lab mice you dissected and send them to me, are you? [Panic]"
"Great idea, hehe."
After ending the chat, Lin Chen thought he really needed to prepare a gift, so he picked up his car keys, went downstairs, and drove to the largest shopping mall in the vicinity.
As I walked into the Chanel counter, the saleswoman saw a handsome young man walk in. Regardless of whether he could afford to buy anything, she quickly came over to greet him. She thought to herself, "Usually, the customers are all rich women or internet celebrities. The men are all middle-aged men. I don't usually get to see handsome young men."
"Hello, handsome, what would you like to see?"
"Just browsing." Lin Chen said as he walked around, looking at the goods on display.
The shop assistant stared at Lin Chen's profile, her mouth watering. "So handsome! Whose little puppy is this? He's too good-looking! Stop looking! I know you can't afford him. No worries, I'll sell myself to support you."
"Give me a size 165 down jacket, and wrap this bag and this scarf up for me."
"ah?"
The shop assistant, still lost in her own fantasy, didn't react for a moment.
Lin Chen repeated himself, and the shop assistant cautiously asked, "That's 78,000 in total. Will you be paying by card?"
"Okay, swipe your card." Lin Chen took out his black card and handed it to the clerk.
The shop assistant was startled and quickly took the black card with both hands. She ran to pack the goods, feeling extremely regretful. "Oh no! If I get a complaint, I'll lose my commission from this order. This order is worth at least a thousand yuan. Please, handsome young man, don't complain about me. I'd even go out to dinner and a movie with you if you wanted."
Lin Chen: You're dreaming.
After the items were packed up, the shop assistant came over with a POS machine. Lin Chen entered his PIN, and the payment was successfully deducted.
The shop assistant handed back the bank card and a membership card with both hands: "Sir, this is our store's membership card. You earn points with every purchase, and we'll give you gifts based on your points level. Your points for this purchase have been recorded. Welcome to visit us again."
Lin Chen took the card, then picked up his things and left. He went upstairs to a game console store and bought a DSi to give to Fatty.
Back at 1901, An Rou saw Lin Chen walk in carrying large bags and asked curiously, "Boss, what did you buy?"
"Oh, these are Christmas presents I bought for my high school classmates."
"Wow, that's great! Is there any for me?"
"Senior, you're three years older than me, shouldn't you be the one giving me a ride?"
"Tch, if you don't have one, you don't have one. Don't talk about a woman's age, hmph."
The next day, Lin Chen finally remembered that he was still a college student, so he took his textbooks to the classroom.
When Zhao Yu saw Lin Chen actually appear in the classroom, he exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap! Holy crap! Look, it's Lin Chen alive!"
Lin Chen said speechlessly, "Have you ever seen a dead Lin Chen?"
"There was no such opportunity."
"Lin Chen, where have you been? Did you take five hundred million and go on a world tour?"
"It's not as carefree as you make it out to be. The school sent me to Beijing to participate in the National College Student Entrepreneurship Competition."
"Wow, that's amazing! Did you win an award?"
"I barely managed to get first place."
"Brothers, what should we do when faced with a show-off?"
"Beat him up!"
"Hero, spare my life! Hero, spare my life!"
The school bell rang, and the teacher walked in.
"Let's begin taking attendance."
"Chen Tianfeng".
"arrive!"
...
"Lin Chen".
"arrive!"
The teacher looked up and smiled, saying, "Oh, so you're Lin Chen. To be honest, it's fine if you don't come to class. Your web crawler algorithm for Huasuan.com is much better than mine."
Lin Chen smiled awkwardly.
When the students heard that Huasuan.com belonged to Lin Chen, they all turned around and looked at him in surprise. Lin Chen was so embarrassed by their stares that he buried his head in his seat like an ostrich.
The teacher continued taking attendance, and after that, the class began. Lin Chen was feeling drowsy, but finally, get out of class ended, and he grabbed his books and slipped away.
Just as Zhao Yu was about to get up and stop Lin Chen, he discovered that the guy had already run away. He gritted his teeth and said, "Lin dog got away again. It turns out that he's the one who set up Huasuan.com. He's so rich, I feel like I'm missing out if I don't mooch a few meals off him."
Zhang Dacheng and Chen Tianfeng nodded and said, "Me too."
Back at the startup center, Lin Chen turned on his computer and continued coding, preparing to showcase MIUI on a real device as soon as possible. It would be ridiculous if Lei Jun had already finalized the supply chain only to find that the system wasn't ready.
An Rou leaned closer: "Boss, I heard you're going to give us a lesson tomorrow?"
"You're going too?"
"Yeah, it's not just me, it seems like everyone at Xingchen Technology is going, and we're all seniors."
Lin Chen was so embarrassed he almost dug his toes out of his skin. This was different from his speech at the entrepreneurship competition. As everyone knows, it doesn't matter what you do in front of strangers, since you don't know them anyway. But in front of acquaintances, it's really awkward!
"Ahem, how about you guys work overtime tomorrow?"
"Damn!"
The next afternoon, Lin Chen arrived at the large lecture hall right on time. Qian Ming led him to the podium with a smile and introduced him: "Hello students, this is Lin Chen, the first place winner of the 2009 Shanghai College Student Entrepreneurship Competition, the first place winner of the 2009 National College Student Entrepreneurship Competition, the developer of 'Fruit Ninja', the developer of Huasuan.com, and the CEO of Xingchen Technology. Please welcome him with applause."
Lin Chen looked at An Rou, Xia Xue, Liu Xiaoxiao, Cai Haoyu, Liu Wei, and Luo Yuhao sitting in the first row from left to right, took a deep breath, and took the microphone.
"Hello everyone, I'm Lin Chen from Xingchen Technology. Actually, I refused when my advisor asked me to give an entrepreneurship open class, but he threatened me, so I had no choice but to come."
"Hahaha..." A burst of laughter came from the audience, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.
"Then let me just share some of my own thoughts. Actually, this era is really perfect for starting a business. The internet is undergoing an unprecedented transformation. Senior Anrou, do you know what kind of transformation it is?"
An Rou blushed and shook her head. "You dog of a boss, all you do is bully me. I'll throw away all your instant noodle seasoning packets when I get home tonight."
