Chapter 85

After a night of fermentation, the next morning, Lan Mei Technology and the 'official version' of Smart Xiao Lan finally made it to the headlines of major websites.

"The wolf is coming!"

To many companies in the industry, Smart Xiao Lan was like a sudden giant, gaining over twenty million registered users overnight, with about twenty million users online at any given time, and this number was still growing.

Smart Xiao Lan had all the functions of a chat app, but the functions it possessed were not something all mobile chat apps could offer!

Convenient, fast, fun, business, and intelligent—Smart Xiao Lan had all these aspects. It was foreseeable that for mobile users, Smart Xiao Lan would be an indispensable application in the future. No one could predict how great its influence would be!

"Green Mountain Venture Capital wants to invest in Lan Mei Technology!"

Before Gu Yan could finish speaking, Hao Meng interrupted her with a smile: "Reject it. We don't need any venture capital right now, and we won't be selling shares of Lan Mei Technology for the time being. Reject any company or individual with such intentions. By the way, ask President Liu to come over!"

After the official release of Smart Xiao Lan, the entire Lan Mei Technology began to operate at high speed. The sudden busyness caught everyone off guard.

But for Hao Meng, the boss, there was nothing much to do.

The paid services of Smart Xiao Lan were only partially launched. Next, Lan Mei Technology would need to collaborate more deeply with several major companies, including shopping, travel, transportation, and film and television, among others. However, the user stickiness of Smart Xiao Lan was already gradually showing.

The remaining tasks could be handled by his subordinates without Hao Meng's personal involvement.

At 10 a.m., Lan Phoenix sent a contract fax to the headquarters. After Hao Meng signed it and sent it back, Lan Mei Technology officially became a partner with Jieda Company in Shenzhen City, and the two products under Lan Mei Technology entered the manufacturing stage.

"Let's go, I'll take you to buy a car!" Hao Meng called Gu Yan and said with a smile.

Chen Yuqing had several projects to discuss, and everyone else was busy. Hao Meng was the most idle, but not having a car for travel was really inconvenient. Hao Meng didn't care much; he could take a taxi or even ride an electric scooter, but the company needed a car for face value.

"Oh!" Gu Yan was taken aback, put down her work, and followed Hao Meng out of the company.

The two hailed a taxi and headed straight for the 4S store in the eastern part of Shicheng. Most car dealerships in Shicheng were located there, offering a wide range of choices. Hao Meng thought that since he now had some spare money, he might as well go all out.

"Gu Yan, how old are you today?" Sitting in the rented car, Hao Meng suddenly asked.

"I'm 24, I just graduated this year. I was supposed to work for a foreign company in Guangzhou, but my parents wanted me to come back, so I did," Gu Yan said with a smile.

Gu Yan was a very mature and attractive girl, capable and with her own ideas. If well-cultivated, she could be a capable leader and perhaps handle things independently in the future.

Hao Meng smiled and said, "You're quite filial, and 24 isn't young anymore. Do you have a boyfriend?"

Gu Yan blushed, lowered her head, and softly said, "I had one in college, but we broke up after graduation. I haven't found anyone since, and I want to wait until my work is stable before considering it."

Hao Meng stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then said, "That's good, it saves you from being distracted. When you find the right one, I'll help you remember!"

Gu Yan rolled her eyes secretly, muttering to herself, "I'm not going to be a spinster, why do you need to meddle? You're not even older than me, what are you pretending?" But she only dared to think it, as the boss, no matter how young, was still her breadwinner, and she couldn't afford to offend him!

Yuntong Auto Trade!

"Hey, isn't that Hao Meng? Haha, what brings you here, are you just browsing or buying a car? Is this beautiful lady your girlfriend?"

Hao Meng didn't expect to run into an acquaintance here. Looking at the little fat man in black pants and a white shirt, dressed in a suit, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Xiang Dong? Haha, are you selling cars here?"

The person talking to Hao Meng was Bai Xiangdong, a classmate from junior high school. They got along well back then, but after junior high school, they lost touch and eventually had no news of each other.

"Yep, this auto trade company has shares from my older brother, and I'm here to help," Bai Xiangdong said with a smile, looking at Hao Meng and asking, "What about you, what have you been up to lately?"

Hao Meng was dressed very simply, in jeans, sneakers, and a T-shirt. Although he looked neat and clean, they were not designer clothes, and a discerning eye could easily tell they were ordinary.

"Just busy with nothing much," Hao Meng said with a smile. "Since you're selling cars here, I won't bother you with two tasks. We're here to buy a few cars for the company. This is our company's President Gu." Hao Meng introduced Gu Yan but didn't mention that she was his secretary. There was no need to show off in front of an old classmate, as it wouldn't be good.

Bai Xiangdong's eyes lit up when he looked at Gu Yan, and he smiled, extending his hand, "So you're President Gu, my apologies for the misunderstanding. I didn't know which company you were from. What brand of car are you interested in?"

Although she didn't know why Hao Meng wanted to highlight himself, since the boss said it, it was a command. Gu Yan knew what to do.

She smiled and shook hands with Bai Xiangdong, saying, "Lan Mei Technology, a new small company. As for the brand, we haven't decided yet. Can we take a look around first?"

"Lan Mei Technology? So President Gu works at Lan Mei Technology, I've heard of it. President Gu, you're joking, everyone knows Lan Mei Technology. We all use Smart Xiao Lan, it's definitely a top-tier company. The car you choose won't be low-end. This way, please!" Bai Xiangdong extended his hand with a smile, winking at Hao Meng behind his back and whispering, "You're quite something, quietly joining a big company. Leave your phone number, we'll get together when we have time."

Hao Meng nodded with a smile and made an OK gesture.

Bai Xiangdong led the way to the Audi showroom to the east.

A brand new, fiery red Audi R8 was parked right in front. Gu Yan's eyes were immediately drawn to it. Sports cars are not only loved by men but also by women.

As she walked over, she couldn't resist reaching out to touch it, but a harsh voice suddenly interrupted.

"Hey, don't touch it randomly. If you scratch it, can you afford to pay for it? This car costs over 2.4 million. Can you afford it?" Turning around, the speaker was a woman in her thirties, almost forty, dressed in expensive clothes, wearing various jewelry, and carrying an LV bag, making her look like a wealthy lady.
