Chapter 089 Long time no see
If I remember correctly, since Qin Mengmeng's first day of college seven years ago, Gao Tianjiao's nickname used everywhere on the Internet has always been Tianjiao.
She is indeed a child of destiny.
Among all the people Qin Mengmeng knew, she was definitely the one with the most superior family background. She was also gentle and had good character. She had clear goals and excellent academic performance. She was a rare talent, which made people feel inferior to her. So they stopped interacting with each other later.
If it weren't for the special environment of the university, no matter if you are a penniless test-taker from a small county or a proud child from a wealthy family, you have to live in the dormitory and attend the eight classes in the morning. Qin Mengmeng might never have met someone like Gao Tianjiao.
Class is class.
Once they left college, they soon stopped speaking to each other.
Qin Mengmeng thought about it and realized that there was definitely no one named "Tianjiao" in the live broadcast room.
Some people usually just watch the live broadcast but never comment. However, when they enter the live broadcast room, it will also display “Welcome xxx to the live broadcast room”.
Maybe she changed her style?
Qin Mengmeng suddenly thought of a name.
Qin Mengmeng: I was born in Rome.
Qin Mengmeng: Is that you?
Tianjiao: ...No...It's very rude to strip someone of their identity, don't do that.
Qin Mengmeng: Okay, so, will you come?
Tianjiao: ...We haven't been in touch for almost four years. I thought you would ask me how I've been doing.
Qin Mengmeng: ...So how have you been lately?
Tianjiao: ...Not very good. You know, the real estate industry in the whole country is in trouble now. But fortunately, it hasn’t gone bankrupt yet. I can just barely maintain it. As long as I can survive, I will be able to beat 99% of my peers.
Qin Mengmeng scratched her chin, feeling that this question was not easy to respond to, so she simply ignored it.
Qin Mengmeng: We haven't been in touch for almost four years. Are you looking for me just to tell me to be careful of Wang Mianmian? I think she's a nice person.
Tianjiao: Your standards for evaluating people seem to have changed a lot.
Qin Mengmeng: People always change, and you have changed a lot too.
In fact, she felt that Gao Tianjiao didn't seem to have changed much compared to before, maybe she had become more honest?
Qin Mengmeng herself has become much more open-minded than before. If it were her old self, when a friend she hadn't contacted for four years saw her live broadcast and sent a signal that they wanted to reconcile, even if she wouldn't humiliate the other person, she would still feel somewhat complacent.
It was really boring, but fun.
Fortunately, after dying once, people will really see through the world.
Qin Mengmeng: If you want to come to the live broadcast room, you are welcome at any time.
Tianjiao: ...Do I have to work when I get there?
Qin Mengmeng: Of course, but I will pay you a salary.
Tianjiao: Am I someone who is short of that little money?
Qin Mengmeng: Pay for good deeds.
Tianjiao: ...I'll think about it, but I don't know anything.
Qin Mengmeng: After all, you graduated from the best civil engineering program in the country, an outstanding graduate!
Tianjiao: But I’ve rarely been to the construction site!
Qin Mengmeng: ...6
Tianjiao: No sarcasm allowed!
Qin Mengmeng: I'm sorry, I was wrong. Anyway, you can come anytime you want. At least you have good physical strength.
Tianjiao: I’ll think about it.
After finishing the conversation, Qin Mengmeng rolled over on the bed for a while, feeling mixed emotions. Gao Tianjiao was really special to her.
It’s not that she likes her. She is a straight person and only likes men. It’s impossible for her to like women.
The problem is that throughout the entire process, from a small town test-taker who was the only one in the world who thought she was the best to entering the big city where she was beaten up by everyone and finally realizing that she was just an ordinary person with limited abilities, Qin Mengmeng was the one with the highest DPS.
In the entire process of "defeating Qin Mengmeng", Gao Tianjiao was the MVP.
But who can blame her for this?
She just lived her own life and walked her own way. Her life was so dazzling that it blinded the eyes of bystanders. It was the bystanders' problem, not hers.
Qin Mengmeng thought for a while, got up and knocked on Qin Chuan's door next door. As soon as she stood at the door and before she raised her hand, the door opened immediately.
Qin Chuan stood at the door with red eyes, and his spirit was in an abnormal state of excitement.
Qin Mengmeng smelled the pungent smell of Fengyoujing coming from his room. She couldn't help but pause and said, "If you want to refresh yourself, there are fruits in the refrigerator that I bought in the live broadcast room. Eating them is very effective."
Qin Chuan opened his eyes and said, "I know, but I've gotten used to applying Fengyoujing when I stay up late. I'm used to it. If I don't apply Fengyoujing when I stay up late to work after midnight, my brain won't work at all."
All right…
Qin Mengmeng asked: "You asked me to come to you before, why did you ask me to come to you?"
Qin Chuan said as he walked back to the room and to the computer: "I have edited a few short videos to show you the effect, but that is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that I found a very serious problem."
He sat on his computer chair and said, "For your app, should you put a link after the video so people can download it directly?"
Qin Mengmeng sat down on the bed and thought to herself that this was indeed a problem.
She didn’t know how the audience in the live broadcast room downloaded the app, but the app was indeed not promoted on a large scale in reality.
She had only seen the download link on the official website of the Eternal Group, but that link was obviously not a private link, but it had definitely not been promoted, and they didn't even intend for ordinary people to download it.
In addition, one question that must be considered is, is this app suitable for promotion?
In the long run, the app will not harm ordinary viewers.
"Let's not do that." Qin Mengmeng said.
The app will certainly not harm ordinary viewers, but it is unclear whether ordinary viewers will harm the anchor and the ghosts of New Town High School.
If Xincheng High School was just a virtual copy, having more viewers wouldn't be a big deal, but it is not. Even the ghosts in the live broadcast room are still alive in reality.
Qin Mengmeng thinks now that even the slicing promotion is not a good idea... But Qin Chuan has already done the slicing, so it is not appropriate to back down at this time.
"Then don't attach the link." Qin Chuan said casually: "Just put some attractive clips on those video platforms with large traffic, and then when someone asks where you are live streaming——"
"No need to tell them." Qin Mengmeng said: "Those who know the app will know, and those who don't know don't know."
This is like looking for a needle in a haystack, looking for someone who has the app on his or her phone in reality.
This is equivalent to separating Qin Mengmeng and the app, only promoting Qin Mengmeng personally, not the app.
"The promotion fee for a new app is usually more than 20 yuan per person." Qin Chuan muttered, "Anyway, this app doesn't pay extra, so I'll just delete the QR code at the end and send it out."
"Wait, let me see it first." Qin Mengmeng was very curious about Qin Chuan's level.
Everyone in the family knew that Qin Chuan made money by making small games, but Qin Mengmeng had no idea what kind of games he made. She only knew that Qin Chuan was probably making games and was not speculating in Bitcoin or getting involved in any other gray and risky things.
Qin Chuan is essentially a very stable person. He rarely does risky things since he was a child. He even never goes into the water to play because he is afraid of drowning. After graduation, he did not have a job but chose to make games full-time, which may be the most risky thing in his life.
Every video Qin Chuan clicked on was a very short one, no longer than fifteen seconds, which fits the short, flat and fast pace of the contemporary Internet.
The script is very simple.
White letters on a black background, six simple and direct words.
Before the anchor arrived.
Cut to a scene of a dirty, dark and bloody bathroom late at night, with an eerie background music.
It's the kid's bathroom.
After the black screen, there were six big words: After the host arrives.
It is a brand new and cozy small studio, and the background music is the cheerful “Today is a good day”.
Qin Mengmeng was shocked.
Afterwards, Qin Chuan clicked on the remaining videos one by one to show her. They were all in the same format, but the materials ranged from the garbage pool to the playground, and then to the reading corner in the girls' dormitory.
Qin Mengmeng reached out and patted Qin Chuan's shoulder.
"You did a great job. I'll treat you to lunch today."
Qin Mengmeng thought for a moment and said, "Where did you learn this skill of video editing? I feel that if you find a job as an editor with this skill, you can earn 10,000 yuan a month."
Fortunately, he is Qin Mengmeng’s biological brother, so she can get him for free.
Qin Chuan smiled and said, "I learned it online. An independent game producer needs to be a programmer, artist, screenwriter, promoter, planner, etc. You have to know a little bit of everything."
Qin Mengmeng was speechless.
"There is everything on the Internet." Qin Chuan said: "The Internet is the greatest invention of human civilization. I learn online and make money online. I earn more than working in first-tier cities, but I don't have to bear the living costs of first-tier cities. I can spend it in 18th-tier cities."
"So I've always wanted to persuade you to join me in doing the Internet."
Qin Mengmeng felt mixed emotions for the second time today.
Sometimes it is harder to accept that the people close to you are awesome than to accept that they are not awesome. After all, jealousy is human nature, and competitiveness is a deep-rooted instinct of all living people.
Qin Mengmeng lay down on Qin Chuan's bed and said leisurely: "The Internet is great. It does make more money than civil engineering and is easier, but I didn't study civil engineering for the sake of making money."
This problem has troubled Qin Mengmeng for a long time.
Fortunately, she had already taken that step, and today, a long time later, she is no longer troubled by it.
"I chose civil engineering because I like it." She said frankly: "A long time ago, when I chose this major, I wanted to have it all. I wanted to do what I like and make a lot of money to improve my social status and lead a good life for my whole family."
At that time, the industry was still booming and there was no sign of its demise.
No, perhaps many people already knew that Tumu was going to die, but Qin Mengmeng was very arrogant at the time and did not think about doing some investigation in advance, so Qin Mengmeng did not see it.
“I thought I could have both fame and fortune and my dreams.”
It turns out that it doesn't.
She is not a genius.
There are many people in this world who can have the best of both worlds, but Qin Mengmeng is not one of them. Her talent may be considered outstanding in Xincheng, but once she steps onto a bigger stage... the cruelest saying in this world is that there are always people better than you.
Among so many beautiful things, it is very difficult to choose to give up most of them.
Especially for someone who is so self-centered that he is arrogant and thinks he can have it all with his own abilities.
But Qin Mengmeng finally made a painful choice.
“If I could only choose one thing in the world,” she said, “I would choose architecture.”
This was the choice she made from the beginning.
Although she didn't know the subtext behind it when she made the choice.
From then on, a safe working environment, civilized colleagues and superiors, a comfortable living and shopping environment, and even a clean toilet and a single room were all far away from her - it didn't matter, she had to walk on the path she had chosen even if she had to kneel down.
It's so funny. Back then, she thought she could be a designer who wore a suit and mingled with all kinds of celebrities in a glamorous CBD, or a local tycoon who had thousands of soldiers and a wide network of contacts and was called Qin Bancheng because half of the city was built by herself.
Life...
Everyone thinks they are awesome when they are young.
Even when I’m old, I still feel that I’m very capable, but I just feel that my talent is not appreciated.
But Qin Mengmeng is so smart that she can't deceive herself.
She knew she couldn't do it.
In the end, all you can do is hold on to your dreams.
If you don’t even have dreams, then you really have nothing.
Even if you don't make money, even if you don't have friends, even if you don't have a high social status, even if your life is hard, at least when you see high-rise buildings built into empty places, the wilderness turned into civilization, the old becoming brand new and the dirty becoming clean, the happiness you feel at that moment is real.
She lived on moments like that.
