Chapter 1581 Lin Quan
"I am not wrong, right?"

Lin Xiao looked as if he had done something wrong, clutching his chest and gasping for breath, with an expression of disbelief.

"Oh dear, really, you clearly saw it, yet you still insist you must have seen it wrong," Tang Wanru said. "Isn't that Nan Xiang and that Wang Yan? Nan Xiang showed Wang Yan something, and Wang Yan gave Nan Xiang money. I didn't see how much. Hey, do you think Nan Xiang and Wang Yan are secretly getting together?"

Before Lin Xiao could reply, Tang Wanru began to digress, "Hey, to be fair and objective, Wang Yan is actually a pretty good person. Even if he's not as rich as Gu Yuan, and he's not a local like Jian Xi who has a car, a house, and no worries about food or clothing, he's still a hundred times better than Xi Cheng."

Good physique, good at fighting, good physique, ambitious, look at those college students starting their own businesses, good physique..."

"You're really obsessed with men, look where you've gotten to in your mind."

Lin Xiao playfully slapped her, "Don't tell Gu Li about this. You know what Wang Yan did, and I'm afraid Gu Li will overthink it. Let's talk to Nan Xiang sometime and ask her what her relationship with Wang Yan is."

"I'm not one to gossip," Tang Wanru said. "Besides, even if Nanxiang gets together with Wang Yan, it's not a big deal. After all, Wang Yan sent Xicheng to jail. If Nanxiang can forgive him, we shouldn't say anything, right?"

“Nan Xiang can forgive, but Gu Li can’t. You know Gu Li perfectly well…”

Lin Xiao put his arm around Tang Wanru's arm and said, "Just don't say anything, let's go back."

"Don't worry, I'm never one to gossip."

"do not you?"

“Am I?” Tang Wanru said matter-of-factly. “I admit that I did reveal some things at times in the past, but it wasn’t intentional…”

Tang Wanru spoke as if it were the truth, but when she arrived at the off-campus apartment and met Gu Li, she revealed everything.

"Where's Nanxiang? Didn't she come?" Gu Li asked.

"I don't know, maybe she's dating Wang Yan."

Tang Wanru casually mentioned Wang Yan's name with a laugh, and even spread a rumor along the way. It's unclear whether it was intentional, deliberate, or just an accidental slip of the tongue...

"Who?" Gu Li turned her head abruptly as if startled. "Wang Yan? That mentally ill man?"

Tang Wanru also realized what was happening and covered her mouth as she looked at Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao was speechless and didn't know what to say.

"I'm sorry, Lin Xiao, I didn't mean to," Tang Wanru said innocently.

Before Lin Xiao could speak, Gu Li glared at her: "What are you hiding from me? Tell me! What's going on between Nan Xiang and that mentally ill person!"

Tang Wanru said, "Oh, it's nothing really. When we came to find you, we saw Nanxiang ahead of us, so we thought we'd tease her. But she went straight to find Wang Yan. You know, that website Wang Yan developed is in beta testing, and he's been promoting it everywhere..."

"That mentally ill person gave Nan Xiang money? And even touched Nan Xiang's chin, behaving intimately?" Gu Li frowned, pondering, "What did she show the mentally ill person?"

Lin Xiao shook her head: "We don't know either. We were thinking of asking her later. Who knew she would blurt it out so quickly? On the way back, she said something about how you have the tightest mouth, but it turns out you're the one who always has a big mouth."

"You know me, Lin Xiao, I often act without thinking, I'm just a carefree person." Tang Wanru said pitifully, "Besides, we're best friends, it wouldn't be right for us to find out and keep it from Gu Li."

"It's not just not very good, it's extremely bad!"

Gu Li glared at Lin Xiao, "Besides, even if Nan Xiang and that mentally ill person have something going on, it doesn't matter, it won't affect us anyway. But if they really do have something going on, I have to say, Nan Xiang is really despicable."

Lin Xiao walked over and hugged Gu Li: "Anyway, whether it has anything to do with that mentally ill person or not, Nan Xiang wouldn't harm you. After all, we've been sisters for so many years. She wouldn't abandon us for a man, would she?"

"That's really hard to say," Gu Li said sarcastically. "You can't tell what kind of person someone is usually until you actually encounter a problem."

"Gu Li, you're talking nonsense. Nan Xiang used to fight alongside us; she's always stood by us through thick and thin."

Gu Li waved her hand irritably: "Alright, stop talking. Nan Xiang is being unreasonable, it's none of our business. Let's go, let's go have a big meal."

And so it became a secret among the three of them. After that, no one mentioned it when they were with Nan Xiang anymore, and no one asked Nan Xiang why she was so close to Wang Yan. Tang Wanru's mouth seemed to have been sealed shut as well...

Several days passed, and Nan Xiang finally revised the logo she had drawn according to Wang Yan's requirements. She was quite impressed with Wang Yan's ideas and aesthetic sense. Because it was based on her design, with some changes and adjustments, that it looked even better than her original drawing.

"How about it?"

“This is the design I proposed, what else can I say? Of course it’s good.” Wang Yan raised an eyebrow at Nan Xiang. “And you did a good job implementing it, so my five hundred yuan wasn’t wasted.”

The logo isn't complicated; it's simply a simplified version of 'life' and '生活' (lifestyle), and you can still see traces of that design in the logo. The trademark is simply the Chinese and English words for "selecting life" added below the icon.

Of course, to avoid being targeted by scammers, Wang Yan would register a whole bunch of accounts, including all those that were even remotely related, to avoid any messy trouble in the future.

Nan Xiang looked at Wang Yan and said, "You're shameless."

"Thank you, I'll take that as a compliment."

"You really think that's a good point?"

"Reality tells us that the more unscrupulous you are, the more money you make, and the more shameless and scoundrel you are, the more you gain. Of course, this is under the condition that both parties are equal."

"So you don't believe in karma either? Then why did you tell Gu Yuan's mother that their family would suffer retribution?"

Wang Yan smiled at her and said, "Because their family will really suffer retribution."

"You're going to report them? Like you threatened Gu Li before? You don't have any evidence, do you?"

"You're meddling a bit too much." Wang Yan glanced at her. "Is there anything else?"

"You're such a boring person."

"You're worse."

Nan Xiang was furious. She let out a long sigh and said, "You seem to have a problem with me?"

"Just because I didn't treat you the way you expect, does that mean I have a problem with you?" Wang Yan reached out and cupped her face, looking at her seriously. "Wake up, Nan Xiang, the world doesn't revolve around you."

"Why are you always touching me like that?" Nan Xiang blushed a little from Wang Yan's stare and pulled her hand away.

I thought you liked it this way.

Seeing Wang Yan's innocent look, Nan Xiang remembered Wang Yan's previous remarks belittling her, saying she liked hooligans, was a delinquent, and had a dirty mind, and she became unhappy again.

"I'll make you lose everything! I'm leaving!" She glared at Wang Yan with dissatisfaction, tossed her long hair, and was about to walk away. "Then you'll be disappointed. In three months at the latest, I'll have assets worth tens of millions, and in a year at the latest, my assets will be worth several hundred million."

Nan Xiang turned around and saw Wang Yan grinning with a flyer tucked in his hand, so she offered her blessing: "Keep dreaming!"

"You don't understand the internet, you don't understand capital, and you don't understand today's market. Whether I'm dreaming or not, the facts will give you the answer." Wang Yan said nonchalantly, "Go on, you little punk."

Nan Xiang turned and left angrily...

Wang Yan remained where he was, waving flyers and enthusiastically greeting passersby...

Wang Yan was not bragging to Nan Xiang; everything he said was true.

His recent relentless online battles on forums have been quite effective, resulting in a significant user base across all three economic zones. Simultaneously, through this continuous and intensive output, he has quickly gained a reputation in relevant sections of various forums.

Being able to work on your liver is also a pretty impressive trait.

Every day after dinner until late at night, Wang Yan would answer various questions and engage in debates with people. His output was quite dense and his logic was very rigorous, clearly showing that he was a high-level contestant with a complete knowledge system.

It's not that no one suspects he's operating with a team, but his statements, which are chronological, consistent in style and logic, don't require him to prove his innocence; netizens will readily provide their own explanations.

With his intensive output and sound reasoning, and with no rivals to this day, having broken through the defenses of countless people both theoretically and practically, it would be strange if he didn't become famous.

The internet age allows things to spread faster, making them visible to more people and enabling more people to be seen. If Wang Yan wants to become famous, he can certainly do so by simply expressing his opinions. If he wants to become famous even faster, he should throw out some outrageous statements.

After all, even in ancient times, when travel was slow and travel was long, Wang Yan could become a renowned scholar through word of mouth and be a guest of honor wherever he went, let alone in modern times. The methods of personal marketing, don't they?

As such, it's no surprise that some organizations have started to pay attention, and some have even contacted Wang Yan, expressing their desire to hear the founder's grand vision and review his PowerPoint presentations before deciding whether to make an angel investment.

However, Wang Yan refused, because the 100,000 yuan loan could last him for a while, and he could improve his grades even further. After all, he was starting a business at the university, and the school provided the venue, computers, staff, and electricity. The students who worked there didn't have any money; they were only provided with meals. So far, the biggest expenses besides the server had been printing flyers.

Even the people handing out flyers were recruited by him. Two boxed meals a day…

Meanwhile, the initial test results are quite good. Once the 100,000 yuan is spent, Wang Yan can continue to apply for loans.

Even without taking out a loan, Wang Yan still has Bitcoin in his hands, and its value has already started to rise, changing every day. Retail investors and institutional investors alike have begun to enter the market, starting this round of frenzy.

All Wang Yan needs to do is get the money in through legal means, and there are countless ways to do that...

In addition to this, Wang Yan has also begun to add features to the product.

Zhenxuan Life has integrated with the interfaces of many group-buying and food delivery websites, achieving traffic redirection and thus generating profits.

If a user reviews a restaurant's dishes and gives it a positive rating, other users who see it and want to try it won't want to switch to another app to search for and order food. So, integrating with other apps is a natural thing.

At the same time, Wang Yan also needs to compare prices on different platforms to save users trouble.

This is something other websites would love to do; no matter how small the website, they have no reason to refuse. Therefore, the integration went very smoothly, and testing is currently underway, with launch imminent.

As for imitation and following trends, Wang Yan isn't afraid, after all, he genuinely possesses the technology. He's already starting to integrate big data and artificial intelligence. Those who simply copy him won't understand, and users will discover who provides truly objective evaluations.

Moreover, there are various challenges such as merchants controlling online comments and competitors sabotaging the website. These are all difficulties that need to be overcome, and not everyone can get through them.

"Boss, we've finished distributing the flyers. We've basically covered all the girls' dormitories in our school."

In the office, a girl wearing a white sweater, jeans, and white sneakers, with her long hair tied in a ponytail, walked up to Wang Yan and peered at the computer screen in front of him. "Going online again, huh..."

Wang Yan typed quickly, clicked "post," and then casually grabbed two lunch boxes from the table next to him and handed them over: "Lin Quan, you did a good job. Consider this an extra lunch."

This Lin Quan is the one who got together with Jian Xi and went abroad together.

"Wow, really? Only one boxed lunch? You know I've been skipping classes lately just to help you hand out flyers..."

"Stop, don't be so self-righteous. We're all working hard for a better future. Your hard work isn't for me. Everyone involved in this company has a share; you were all the initial angel investors. If it fails, then all your hard work will have been for nothing. If it succeeds, then I can say with certainty that as long as the company doesn't collapse, none of these people will starve."

"You're just trying to fool people." Lin Quan pouted and opened a lunchbox. "Oh, braised pork today."

"Although we weren't paid for the work, the food was pretty good."

"I've noticed you really enjoy eating."

Of the four basic necessities of life—eating, drinking, and defecating—eating comes first.

Lin Quan retorted, "But what about food, clothing, shelter, and transportation?"

"They've started looking for clothes to wear, so they're not too hungry anymore. I'm still hungry."

That's sophistry.

"I'm just trying to survive."

Wang Yan ate his meal heartily, then asked, "Your family is well-off, so why did you decide to work for me?"

"Startups get more experience."

"Then can you tell me why you keep asking me about Gu Li and Lin Xiao?"

"I'm just curious. Gu Yuan is quite a celebrity at school. Everyone's curious about the fact that you sent him to prison. I'm a bit bolder, and I wanted to challenge myself, so I asked you for details. I think you should tell me the whole story to satisfy my gossip-loving nature. Consider it a reward for you."

“You did a really good job.” Wang Yan nodded with a smile. “Actually, it’s nothing. It’s just that I didn’t have a good time when I first met Gu Li, so I made fun of her. Since Gu Yuan is her boyfriend, she paid people to cause me trouble. Of course, I showed my prowess and beat them to a pulp. In the end, thanks to the fair handling of the police, Gu Yuan was detained for three months and received the punishment he deserved.”

"This is too perfunctory. How could they be so sarcastic towards Gu Li? And who did Gu Yuan find these people? They can't just sentence her directly, right? There has to be a settlement process. Gu Yuan's family is so rich..."

Wang Yan finished his boxed lunch in a few bites: "Then you need to do more work so I can believe you're keeping your mouth shut. If word gets out, we already have enemies, and that would only make things worse. Do some cleaning and then go home to rest. I'll give you a new task tomorrow. I have to get to work now, both developing new projects and dealing with online issues. Sigh, it'll be late again tonight..."

"mean……"

Lin Quan pouted in dissatisfaction, but wisely refrained from bothering Wang Yan further. Instead, she ate her lunchbox while watching Wang Yan's rapid-fire replies to keep her entertained.

Then, he and the others cleaned up the office before leaving...

　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!
