Zhou Juanjuan had told her before that Chen Xu was doing well and had opened his own company. She didn't take it seriously. With more experience, she knew that opening a company was different from running a company. Opening a company doesn't make you a successful person.

It was not until I saw the car in front of me that I realized what Zhou Juanjuan said was right. Chen Xu is indeed doing well. Even if he is just using it for show, he can afford a car worth millions, which shows that he is quite capable.

After getting in the car, she smelled a unique new car smell, looked at the interior of the car inconspicuously, and touched the surface of the seat. She knew it was a new car. It was probably not rented.

Moreover, there was no need for Chen Xu to rent a car like this specifically to deceive Juanjuan.

After Chen Xu got in the car, she couldn't help but ask, "Did you buy this car?"

Chen Xu smiled and said, "Well, buy it to show off your appearance. It will be more convenient when you go to discuss business."

"That's great." Liu Ying praised, "It seems that among all our old classmates, you are the one who is doing the best."

Chen Xu smiled. Such topics were always unavoidable.

He saw the change in Liu Ying's attitude, but he didn't care. This is also human nature. Knowing that an old classmate is successful in his career, he will become more enthusiastic. This is understandable.

In the past, he never attended class reunions, not only because he didn't have any close friends, but also because he wasn't doing well and was afraid of being asked about it and feeling embarrassed.

He himself could not treat his old classmates with a normal attitude, nor would he criticize others for this. He would not despise his old classmates for being snobbish just because they tried to please him. Everyone wanted to live a better life, and being able to put down one's face was a skill, but he could not do it before.

Liu Ying asked curiously, "How can you make money by running a chain noodle restaurant?"

Just now when they were eating, they had already introduced their respective jobs. Chen Xu was talking about opening a noodle shop.

"In addition to the noodle shop, I also have a software company and several laboratories." There was nothing to hide, so he said it directly.

Zhou Juanjuan asked curiously, "You opened another software company?"

Chen Xu said, "Well, the input method in your phone is our company's product."

Zhou Juanjuan's mobile phone is a certain Hua. They are not so powerful as to integrate the input method into their mobile phone system. It is obvious that she downloaded and installed this input method herself.

Now Xuling Company is promoting the method very vigorously. Many users of fruit phones and Huawei phones download this input method on their own. Its market share is rising steadily, and it has firmly established itself as the number one in the industry.

"Really?"

Zhou Juanjuan was a little surprised. That input method was very popular recently. She had seen it on a short video. The voice input was very good, and the translation function was amazing. Netizens jokingly called it a translation software disguised as an input method.

She was also curious and could not help but download it. The voice function was really useful. The translation function was also really amazing. Many of the medicines she used for patients were from abroad, and there were a series of English words on them. She never made any mistakes when using the translation function.

More importantly, this company has a product that is a translation software. After downloading it, you can scan it and get the translation immediately. It is so convenient.

If you go abroad in the future, you don't even need to find a translator. This translation software also has a voice translation function. If you speak Chinese, it can be converted into English voice, and if you speak English, it can also be converted into Chinese voice. The accuracy rate is super high, much better than those professional machines.

Such software was actually developed by Chen Xu’s company?

For a moment, she couldn't believe it.

She and Chen Xu were in the same class in senior year of high school, and they exchanged ideas when filling out their applications. She knew that Chen Xu's university and major had nothing to do with computers.

It is really surprising that he has now opened a software company and created such a popular product.

When a famous thing or event is related to someone you knew before, that feeling is very special.

When she searched the company's situation on her phone, she was even more shocked and couldn't help but say, "Your company is valued at 1 billion MiGold?"

The first piece of news she searched for was this one. The number was so eye-catching that it blinded her.

These days, the market value of Internet companies is getting higher and higher, and it is often hundreds of billions. In comparison, a billion dollars seems to be nothing. However, if someone you know has a company with a market value of one billion dollars, it would be a bit shocking.

According to the current exchange rate, 1 billion MiGold is more than 7 billion.

This number is enough to make ordinary people dizzy.

Think about it, when you find out that an old classmate has a net worth of billions, it must be a complicated feeling.

Chen Xu said, "These are just for publicity purposes. The numbers are exaggerated. In fact, there are not that many."

Liu Shanshan reported to him that a venture capitalist had contacted her and was indeed interested in investing in Xuling Company. He rejected it. Neither he nor the other shareholders were short of money. If they wanted to operate the IPO, they could just leave it to Jinxiu Investment.

Liu Ying wanted to say something, but she didn't say it in the end. The market value of more than 7 billion was far more than that of her uncle's company.

She originally thought that Chen Xu's ten million was already very impressive. Billions was really unimaginable. She had never even met a person of this level before, and she felt the pressure all of a sudden, and she didn't even dare to make a joke.

Chen Xu noticed the change in their attitude and took the initiative to bring up the topic, "By the way, the Spring Festival is coming soon, are you going back?"

Liu Ying said, "Yes, I go home every year to spend the New Year with my parents."

Zhou Juanjuan shook her head and said, "I think I will still be assigned to be on duty during the New Year. I can't go back until after the New Year."

The hospital has a rotation system during the Chinese New Year, and usually new people are on duty. She spent the past two Chinese New Years in the hospital. This year, it depends on luck. Anyway, she doesn't have much hope.

"Okay, let's have dinner together then." Chen Xu said.
