Chapter 84

Second update, votes please! Weakly asking for votes! ...

After the company entered a stable phase, Yao Hua, Ruan Lika, and Zhu Tiejun, the three main technical managers, withdrew from the complicated recruitment tasks and handed them over to the HR manager Zhang Ping, each focusing on their respective business areas.

Yao Hua and Ruan Lika led the software development team to start rewriting the QQ software, promising to complete the official version of QQ within two months.

Zhu Tiejun now had five or six people, and he began developing the company's own search engine. Regarding the search engine project, as a proud member of the **s, Song Chen actually did not know much about the inside story. He only knew that the Google company would be established this year and Baidu would be established two years later.

Three months later, after Li Yanhong, who had already submitted the hyperlink analysis patent last year, went to Australia to give a speech on forward-looking search technology, two students were deeply inspired and developed the PAGERANK patent (similar to the hyperlink analysis patent, so Google submitted it to the patent office in 1998 and obtained the patent three years later). They were Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Thus, a few months later, the famous Google company of the future was born.

As students, the market value of Google exceeded that of Baidu by several times, truly surpassing the blue. One is a global ruler, the other is a local tyrant; they are not on the same level.

Learning about Li Yanhong's early brilliance, Song Chen was greatly shocked. He also fully understood why, when people talked about China's internet in the future, there was a sense of frustration and anger, because at the end of the 20th century, China's internet technology was closely following the global trend, and in some areas, it even surpassed. However, after a dozen years, the number of Chinese internet companies that stood out globally was almost negligible, and they all only excelled locally.

If you mention Tencent, people would probably grit their teeth, mock, and curse... Even the highly praised Jack Ma was almost equally praised and criticized.

While Song Chen was lost in thought, Zhu Tiejun made a suggestion to hire Professor Li Yanhong or directly purchase his patent and continue development based on his patent. Song Chen was taken aback, feeling a sense of guilt, as if he was stealing something and then trying to sell it back to the owner.

Despite feeling guilty, Song Chen still asked Zhai Yan to find Li Yanhong's personal contact information and inquire about the possibility of hiring him, at least to buy his patent. If he could stifle Baidu, it would be something Song Chen would be happy to see.

Currently, the manager of the e-commerce project was still vacant. In fact, Song Chen did not know what kind of talent he should look for, so he decided to put it on hold for now and focus on building the website first. Wen Kejian and a dozen other employees had already created the Chinese version of the website and were now working on the English version, which was not difficult. The translation work for the English website was temporarily assigned to Zhai Yan's assistant, Jiang Xiaoqing. Since the early website content was not much, the translation work was not heavy, and Jiang Xiaoqing quickly handed over the materials to Wen Kejian.

After completing the editing of the English website, Song Chen originally planned to host it on QQ's server, but considering that the QQ server still had intermittent crashes, he had to grit his teeth and buy another server.

The employees of the Wave company were overjoyed, clapping and celebrating, but they did not know that Song Chen was already bleeding inside. Considering that he would soon need to take calls from "international friends," he could not do without a dedicated translator. Upon learning that Song Chen lacked a translator, Wen Kejian suggested talking to the school.

Song Chen, looking at Zeng Qian's beautiful back, found it reasonable. Being "spoiled" by Zhang Ruoxi, he once again had some frivolous thoughts. According to his knowledge, the girls in the Foreign Languages College of Dongou University were the most beautiful place on campus, except for the Art College... Even if he did not touch them, just looking at them was a feast for the eyes!

Another worry that troubled Song Chen was his biological father's desire to meet him.

It was not that Song Chen did not want to see his father, but he felt that the emotional outburst at the hospital had already made it clear that their father-son relationship had been severed by Huang Zhen. Meeting again, Song Chen did not know what to say to his father, and he could not ignore how his sensitive mother would worry after he met his father.

At the same time, Song Chen thought about Zhang Ruoxi, who had stayed at his place last night. Using work as an excuse might fool his mother, but it would certainly not fool Zhang Ruoxi...

Song Chen sighed deeply, deciding not to see his father until he could face him with a calm mind. After tidying up his emotions, he told Zeng Qian and planned to go to the school to find Zhang Ruoxi.

As he passed the finance office, Jiang Yan immediately noticed Song Chen. She waved to him, and when he came in, she frowned and said unhappily, "You want to buy another server? Do you know that the company's account, including the profits from the computer room, only has about 600,000 yuan? Yao Hua mentioned to me the other day that we need to add more servers for QQ by the end of this month!"

Song Chen laughed dryly, sitting opposite Jiang Yan and said with a smile, "I have no choice. I can't let the e-commerce website run on a server that might crash at any time; it would affect the development of e-commerce!"

Jiang Yan pondered and said, "At this rate, the company will soon face a funding shortage due to the rapid expansion and investment in servers! What do you plan to do? This doesn't even include the server investment costs after the search engine is developed."

Song Chen smiled bitterly and said, "For now, besides hoping that the internet cafes start charging soon, we can only rely on the profits from the computer room and the dividends from the Chenxing internet cafe!"

After a moment of thought, Song Chen said, "But you don't need to worry too much. Once QQ and e-commerce make progress, international capital will soon notice us!"

"You're so confident!" Jiang Yan frowned. Although so far, Song Chen's vision had not been wrong, whether it was investing in the computer room or suggesting everyone invest in internet cafes, they had all achieved great success. However... everyone makes mistakes. What if the venture capitalists don't see the potential in Chenxing? Where will we get the hundreds of thousands of yuan needed each month, which is increasing at an alarming rate?

"I am confident!" Song Chen smiled slightly, "I believe that the international capital, with its dog-like sense of smell, will not overlook the source of wealth in my hands."

"Alright!" Jiang Yan smiled, "Since the company is yours, whether it succeeds or fails is your responsibility. I'm just an employee, so I won't interfere. By the way, are you going out? Where to?"

"To the school, to find Ruoxi. Call my phone if you need anything!" Song Chen stood up and waved without looking back.

Jiang Yan watched Song Chen's back, her eyes filled with a gentle smile.

At this moment, Zhang Ruoxi was sitting in the classroom, her chin resting on her hand, staring blankly at the blackboard, lost in thought, not even noticing that class had ended. Her dormitory mate and close friend nudged Zhang Ruoxi's shoulder and pointed to a figure outside the window, saying, "Ruoxi, Zhao Lin is looking for you!"

Zhang Ruoxi finally came to her senses, gathered her books, and walked out of the classroom.

"Ruoxi!"

Before she could meet Zhao Lin, a boy's voice came from behind her. Zhao Lin glanced back and muttered, "Persistent as a ghost!"

Zhang Ruoxi, holding her books with both hands, turned around and saw Cai Zhan approaching with a smile on his face. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's up, Cai Zhan?"

"Are you free tonight? Can I take you out for dinner?" Cai Zhan asked shyly.

Zhang Ruoxi said unhappily, "Cai Zhan, you know I have a boyfriend. Why are you still so persistent?"

Mentioning Zhang Ruoxi's boyfriend, Song Chen, Cai Zhan became indignant and said loudly, "That man who uses his mother's house to do business and, after achieving some success, keeps women outside, what are you expecting from him?"

Cai Zhan's voice was loud, and the corridor echoed with his bitter and resentful words.

The countless gazes on her face made Zhang Ruoxi's face pale, and she felt a pain she could not bear. Cai Zhan's words were like a sharp sword piercing her heart, and her heart was filled with a bitter question: What was she really expecting?

Was she expecting Song Chen to change his heart and treat her sincerely? They say "a dog never changes its nature" and "it's hard to change one's nature," was this something she could expect?

But he was Song Chen!

He was the boy who gave her her first unforgettable love, the boy who had taken her virginity for nineteen years. For these reasons alone, shouldn't she have expectations?

Faced with Cai Zhan's questioning, Zhang Ruoxi was speechless, but her relationship was not something others could interfere with. She composed herself, her face cold, and said, "That's none of your business!"

"None of my business?" Cai Zhan smiled bitterly and said, "Indeed, it's none of my business, but every time I think of a beautiful and graceful woman like you being possessed by such a despicable man, I can't bear it!"

"That's your problem! Cai Zhan, if you want to have a crush on me, go ahead, but don't interfere with my freedom to love! Don't make me hate you so much that we can't even be friends!" With that, Zhang Ruoxi, her eyes red, turned and walked away with Zhao Lin.

Neither she nor Zhao Lin noticed the boy on the other side of the corridor who had fallen silent. Cai Zhan, who was in a daze, noticed and turned to see the man he called "despicable."

Amid the surprised gazes of the other students, he suddenly rushed forward, grabbed Song Chen's white shirt collar, and roared, "You don't deserve her!"

Song Chen silently looked at the man who would become Zhang Ruoxi's husband in his previous life. Facing the man's loud roar, pouring out his resentment, Song Chen's gaze was calm. He pushed Cai Zhan away and said calmly, "Whether I deserve her or not is not for you to decide, Cai Zhan! Don't be so presumptuous!"

Stepping back two steps, Song Chen slowly added, "But, you did say something right just now."

Cai Zhan was taken aback, his eyes bloodshot, and he stared at Song Chen without speaking.

"Zhang Ruoxi is indeed a beautiful and graceful woman!" Song Chen's expression was solemn, and he spread his hands, smiling in the sunlight, "She is perfect for being my wife. Believe me, Cai Zhan! The happiness I can give her far exceeds your imagination!"
