Chapter 1580 Cheap

Gu Li lacked Nan Xiang's politeness.

Nan Xiang knew to knock on the glass door first, but Gu Li simply pushed the door open and went in.

"You really think you own your own backyard," Wang Yan glanced at her.

"Let's talk again."

"What's there to talk about? Didn't Nanxiang explain it to you clearly?"

Gu Li softened her tone: "Look, we're from the same school, we see each other all the time, and you're starting a business now, so we can definitely help you, invest in you, and introduce you to clients..."

“Investment?” Wang Yan waved his hand to interrupt her. “My company is definitely going to succeed. Even if it doesn’t, as long as it gains some recognition, venture capital will come. At that point, a valuation of tens or hundreds of millions will be a piece of cake. Are you sure your investment is to help me?”

"Venture capital is there to help startups like yours with great ideas grow quickly. The market changes rapidly, and there are countless good ideas every day, but how many of them actually come to fruition? Aren't they all suppressed by companies with more money?"

"Having ideas isn't enough; you also need technology, service, and a sincere attitude towards consumers. You have to truly treat consumers like gods."

"Okay, okay, you're right, you make sense, I won't argue with you."

Gu Li then thought of something and said, "In the end, this whole thing is because of Nan Xiang. It's because you kept staring at Nan Xiang that Xi Cheng, that piece of trash, had a brain fart and clashed with you."

However, I must say, Nan Xiang is indeed very beautiful. Sometimes I even envy her; she's taller and has a better figure. When we walk next to her, we all pale in comparison. Aren't you staring at her because you're attracted to her looks?

Okay, I'll find a way to get you to spend more time with Nan Xiang later. Whether you can win her over is up to you. Although I hate you too, to be honest, that scumbag Xi Cheng is even more hateful. He doesn't deserve Nan Xiang at all. As Nan Xiang's good friend, I have a duty to help her find a better option. What do you say?

"I'm telling you, you're shameless. You make this sound so nice." Wang Yan looked disgusted. "Why did you bother having me pursue her? Do you think I'm that cheap? Why don't you just be direct and send her to my bed?"

"I dare to send it, do you dare to go up?" Gu Li glared at Wang Yan.

"I wouldn't dare, because you have a dirty mind and you definitely don't care about Nan Xiang. But you're different..." Wang Yan took two steps closer and reached out to lift Gu Li's chin. "When we met before, I said that you're quite pretty and to my liking. Why don't we give it a try?"

"You filthy scoundrel, watch out or I'll tear your mouth apart!" Gu Li forcefully slapped Wang Yan's hand away.

Wang Yan shrugged: "Then there's nothing to talk about. Whether I reconcile or not, they'll still mess with me. You'll do the same thing. So why should I reconcile? Don't even mention a few hundred thousand, even if you offer me tens of millions, I won't take the money. A poor man can't lose his spirit. I'm going to fight for this."

"Then you'd better stay like this for the rest of your life, and never kneel down to those you look down on."

"You think of yourself as something noble, which is wrong. In fact, you are only high and mighty when facing the general public. In private, you kowtow and kneel down to people every day. You have to beg others to cooperate, and when you run out of funds, you have to beg banks for loans and bridge loans. You have to beg others to introduce resources, and you have to kowtow to foreigners to fight for agency rights. How is all of this good?"

"What's so great about it? The money you earn in a month of hard work isn't even enough for one of my meals. I could earn in ten years if you didn't eat or drink. This bag I'm holding, all of you in this room combined couldn't buy it in a month. I..."

"Give me two hundred to see my strength."

Looking at Wang Yan's outstretched palm, Gu Li let out a long sigh: "I..."

"What do you mean, 'you'? You've got no memory, and you're acting all high and mighty again. Gu Li, did you think I was just joking when I said I'd report your company last time, and then didn't do anything about it?"
The fines your family was fined by the government are more than I could earn in several lifetimes, don't you think? Compared to that, aren't you proud? Aren't you honored?"

Gu Li was speechless...

Wang Yan grabbed Gu Li's shoulder, turned her around, opened the door and sent her out, waving his hand like he was shooing away a fly: "Alright, you don't sleep with me and you're still plotting to harm me, so there's nothing more to say. Go on, don't delay my business. Every second counts, can you afford to lose money?"

"I have enough money to buy your life for several lifetimes!"

"If you're not even willing to spend two hundred yuan, then stop bragging to me and get lost."

Wang Yan closed the door, took out his phone from his pocket, and started making a call...

Gu Li angrily picked up the bag, which cost more than Wang Yan's current team could earn in a month of working in the real world, and smashed it twice on the glass door. Seeing Wang Yan frown and turn around, she glared at him fiercely before walking away in her high heels.

Downstairs, Nan Xiang put down her phone and put it in her bag. Looking at Gu Li's exasperated expression, she asked, "You didn't agree, did you?"

"Isn't it written all over my face? You're a lunatic! A scoundrel!" Gu Li was still indignant.

She met Wang Yan three times in total, and each time she was extremely annoyed.

"Let's go, there's really no other way. It seems Gu Yuan will have to suffer for three months..."

Nan Xiang said, "Gu Yuan will definitely not blame you; it's all Wang Yan's fault."

"He deserves to die, he's mentally ill!"

Gu Li stomped away in her high heels, looking annoyed.

Nan Xiang looked up at the building, and although she couldn't see anything, she still glanced at it before following Gu Li back to the house outside the school.

After returning, Gu Li, Lin Xiao, Nan Xiang, and Tang Wanru started talking about what had happened that day. They would comfort Gu Li, scold Wang Yan, and then scold Wang Yan to comfort Gu Li.

In short, best friends are of one mind...

In reality, these four best friends belong to eleven different groups...

The following day, Wang Yan was called in again to mediate.

This is a routine official procedure; they always try to get it done. Whether Ye Chuanping actually tried is unknown.

In the mediation room, in front of the police and Ye Chuanping, Wang Yan firmly stated that he would not reconcile, and carefully took out the newly purchased legal code and read through the articles one by one. At the same time, he also took out the Supervision Law and read through its articles as well.

The message was clear: if Gu Yuan wasn't dealt with according to the proper laws, then they would be dealt with according to the proper laws.

Ye Chuanping does have some connections and does possess some family wealth; while not extremely rich, she is certainly well-off. However, she is nowhere near as powerful or influential as some might imagine.

Therefore, faced with Wang Yan's threat to escalate the situation, and given that Wang Yan is clearly unyielding and impervious to both soft and hard tactics, possesses considerable martial prowess, and is also a lone individual, even the richest and most powerful person would tremble in fear standing alone in front of Wang Yan in a hostile situation, let alone Ye Chuanping.

"Young man, you've gone too far. It won't be good to see you again." Ye Chuanping was furious when Wang Yan ruthlessly rejected her offer of one million.

"Stop showing off. I thought you were rich, but your own son's in jail. At most, you'll pay a million. Sure enough, the richer you are, the less humane you become. Still calculating that three months in jail is worth a million? How pathetic." "Young people haven't experienced the harsh realities of life; they don't know the weight of money. Their empty words are pointless." Ye Chuanping suppressed her anger and changed the subject, saying, "I heard you're starting a business, developing a website?"

"What do you mean?"

"If I spend a million, can we develop a website of the same type as yours?" Ye Chuanping said casually, her smugness written all over her face, as if she had won.

Wang Yan laughed: "Of course you can. The development of the Chinese internet over the past twenty years has been nothing more than copying and then using financial advantages to suppress others and build it up. But it's useless for you to suppress me. Maybe you haven't been paying much attention to the current state of the internet. Wait until you've built it up and then you'll know whether you can suppress me in this area. To be honest, by then you won't even be in the top ranks."

"Insanity!"

"Who's really the arrogant one is not certain. Old Caipi, you'd better not be so cocky. Just you wait, your family will get their comeuppance sooner or later."

Wang Yan ignored the old woman and sauntered away. Only Ye Chuanping remained, gritting her teeth as she watched Wang Yan's retreating figure…

It's so frustrating to see something you can't stand, but you can't do anything about it. It keeps me up at night.

In particular, Wang Yan said that his family would suffer retribution, which was obviously a threat, but how exactly would they suffer retribution? That's also upsetting.

However, Ye Chuanping's long-standing arrogance led her to quickly overlook this matter, and she no longer took Wang Yan, this little brat from out of town, seriously...

Thus, Gu Yuan, Xi Cheng, and others, whose mediation failed, began the process of being sent for prosecution, and what awaited them was detention for varying lengths of time.

Wang Yan also received the compensation he was entitled to, but it was vastly different from the amount he could have received through a settlement.

With the matter temporarily resolved, Wang Yan resumed focusing on his work.

The makeshift team had been assembled for some time, and because Wang Yan adopted agile development—that is, first establishing the overall project framework and getting each functional module running, then continuously enriching features, adding content, and improving the website—they proceeded in round after round of iteration, developing everything simultaneously from the front-end to the back-end, and from the website to the app.

Therefore, the software development speed is quite fast, and it can already be put into initial use.

So Wang Yan busied himself with promoting his product to college students, launching a high-intensity campaign on forums at his own university and other schools, as well as various other forums, to establish his reputation for Select Life.

Wang Yan labels Zhenxuan Life as a university student entrepreneurship project, more objective than websites like Dianping, and truly serving consumers. At the same time, he also becomes a troll online, criticizing various internet companies.

Of course, he wasn't just criticizing; he was specifically pointing out the situations and problems faced by various companies and investors. But if you asked him for solutions, he absolutely wouldn't have any. He couldn't possibly solve problems for others for free.

He also expressed his confidence in the country's development, his optimism about the future of the internet, and his vision for various new technologies on various forums. This attracted a lot of rebuttals, and people exchanged barbs and greetings, which increased the buzz and promoted the "Selected Lifestyle" concept.

I'd like to see what you can actually pull off, all that bragging and how awesome you are...

This mindset is exactly what Wang Yan needs; it will always help Zhenxuan Life gain more users. Currently, it's still in the large-scale testing phase, and we need these people's help.

Although it's called a closed beta test, Wang Yan actually distributed unlimited closed beta codes, which could be claimed directly on the official website...

On this day, Wang Yan was handing out flyers and promoting his product on campus.

"Handing out flyers personally."

Hearing the voice behind him, Wang Yan turned around and looked at Nan Xiang: "What are you talking about? How poor am I? If I had no other choice, I wouldn't even want to hand out flyers. It's all money, isn't it? Why are you all alone?"

"I'm always alone, it's not like I'm always serving as the young lady's maid." Nan Xiang's words revealed a hint of resentment.

Seeing Wang Yan smile without speaking, Nan Xiang took out a few sheets of paper from her bag. "This is the logo I drew for you. Look at this one. My idea is..."

Nan Xiang immediately explained her design concept to Wang Yan.

After she finished speaking and didn't hear a response from Wang Yan, she said, "Can't you at least say something?"

"Your efficiency is really lacking. It's been seven or eight days already, hasn't it? I thought you had given up."

"Slow and steady wins the race, don't you understand? Is this even possible?"

Wang Yan picked one out: "Trademarks and logos are for differentiating products and leaving an impression on people. The design should be simple and aesthetically pleasing, and the colors should be eye-catching but not overpowering. I've written these requirements very clearly, but you've still made it too complicated. It looks nice, but it's not suitable for use as a trademark or logo. This one is okay, but change it a bit, and... understand?"

Nan Xiang nodded, then asked in return, "So, I passed?"

"It's just enough for us. We're all family here, so I'll let you make a little money too."

"Then... could we..."

"Five hundred yuan is hard to come by? Looks like you're not doing a very good job as the young lady's maid. Oh, and all those things you said before about wanting something better, were just empty words."

Wang Yan took out his wallet, counted out five bills, and said generously, "Take these and spend them!"

Nan Xiang looked around and took the five hundred yuan that Wang Yan handed over.

"This is the money I earned through my own labor, not money you gave me for nothing. You talk as if you're so generous."

"Didn't I tell you? Normally it's two hundred for a job, five hundred is already too much. Wanting free money is a pipe dream; it all comes down to value. Your painting is worth two hundred, but you as a person are a different story..."

"Stop it, you're being a pervert again." Nan Xiang said this, but her eyes were smiling...

"I am stating the facts."

Wang Yan said, "Didn't Gu Li say before that she would create an opportunity for me to sleep with you in order to make me forgive Gu Yuan? And the price for forgiving Gu Yuan was one million, that old hag Ye Chuanping asked for. So even if I sleep with you and get a discount, I'll still get four or five hundred thousand. You're quite valuable."

"Don't try to sow discord. Gu Li is telling you to pursue me!"

“It’s all about sleeping together anyway.” Wang Yan reached out and lifted Nan Xiang’s chin. “And to be honest, you should really think about whether you’re worthy of being pursued by someone.”

The smile on Nan Xiang's face vanished in an instant. She put the money away in her bag and left.

Wang Yan smiled and turned his head to look behind a tree not far away, where two figures darted away...

I want to express my sincere gratitude to all the kind readers who have given me generous support through tips, monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, and those who have been reading quietly!
