"And this is just the beginning; we still have a long way to go."

"We will continue our efforts to bring 361 Antivirus into more people's lives and protect their computer security."

As the sun sets, its golden rays bathe them, adding a warm touch to their figures.

Chen Dong, Chu Mengran, Guo Miao, and Yu Qin walked briskly and contentedly back to their apartment.

Today's software promotion event in Zhongguancun was a great success, and everyone's face was filled with irrepressible joy.

That smile was like the brightest star in the night sky, shining with the light of success.

As he walked, Chen Dong suddenly stopped.

He raised his head slightly, his eyes revealing a resolute expression.

Turning to everyone, he said, "I want to go to the broadcasting bureau. Our company needs a landline so that business dealings will be more convenient in the future."

Chu Mengran tilted her head slightly and asked curiously, "Are we going now?"

Chen Dong smiled and nodded, his eyes full of enthusiasm: "Yeah, the sooner we get it done, the more convenient it will be."

"Besides, there's still time. Let's get these things done all at once while everyone's here."

So the four of them changed direction and headed towards the Broadcasting Bureau.

Along the way, Guo Miao joked, "Brother Dong, you're really doing a great job as a boss, even personally pulling out the phone line."

Chen Dong replied with a smile, a smile that carried a hint of confidence and pride: "The company is just starting out, and we have to rely on ourselves for everything."

"Work harder now, and you'll be able to relax a bit when the company grows bigger."

Upon arriving at the Broadcasting Bureau, one is greeted by a bustling scene of people coming and going.

The staff were all busy working, each focused on their tasks.

Chen Dong went straight to the window where he could handle his business.

After standing still, he bowed slightly and said politely and clearly to the staff, "Hello, I would like to install a telephone line and order a landline."

The staff member looked up, his gaze lingering on Chen Dong's face for a moment, before asking, "Is it for personal use or company use?"

"For company use," Chen Dong replied, his tone firm and confident.

"Then you need to provide relevant company information, such as a business license."

The staff member said, a hint of professional seriousness in his eyes.

Chen Dong hurriedly and carefully took out the business license of 361 Company from his bag.

He handed it to the staff member with both hands and said, "It's all here. Please take a look."

The staff member took the documents, placed them on the table, and carefully reviewed them.

While looking around, they also asked some detailed questions, such as the company's business scope and expected business scale.

Chen Dong patiently answered each question, his answers concise and clear, accurately conveying the company's philosophy and goals.

After the review was completed, the staff member smiled and said to Chen Dong, "No problem, the procedures can be processed."

"However, it takes some time to lay telephone lines and install landlines, which should take about a week to complete."

Chen Dong quickly stood up from his seat and said gratefully, "Thank you so much. A week is fine. Thank you for your hard work."

After completing the relevant procedures, Chen Dong chatted with the staff about communication equipment.

He frowned slightly and said with a hint of helplessness, "I originally wanted to get a mobile phone so that I could contact people for business anytime."

"But I also feel that it is too heavy and not convenient to carry around."

The staff member replied with a smile, "Mobile phones are indeed not very convenient now, although their advantage is that you can contact others anytime, anywhere."

“In your situation, having a landline for emergencies is good. You can consider it again when a lighter device comes out.”

At the beginning of their business, the staff did not recommend that these small business owners get their hands on any big-sized mobile phones.

Despite its large size and weight in 93, the mobile phone was incredibly expensive.

The cheaper ones cost 10,000, while the more expensive ones can even cost 50,000!

After leaving the Broadcasting Bureau, Chen Dong and his three companions continued walking home.

As they passed by the farmers' market, the dazzling array of fresh vegetables and fruits instantly attracted their attention, like a magnet.

The market was bustling with noise, a cacophony of hawkers' cries and bargaining sounds, brimming with the vibrant energy of everyday life.

Chu Mengran's eyes lit up, as if she had discovered a treasure.

He said excitedly, "We're having so much fun today, why don't we buy some groceries and cook a big meal to celebrate?"

Yu Qin immediately smiled and agreed, "Great! I haven't had a proper meal in ages, this is the perfect opportunity!"

Guo Miao rubbed his hands excitedly, his face beaming with anticipation: "That's great! I'm practically drooling. What do you think, Dong-ge?"

Chen Dong nodded with a smile, sensing everyone's joy.

Chen Dong said with a smile, "Okay, everyone has worked hard today. Let's celebrate and enjoy this wonderful moment."

So, the four of them happily went into the market.

Chu Mengran and Yu Qin were like two cheerful little birds, picking and choosing in front of them.

Chu Mengran picked up a tomato, examined it carefully, and then asked with a smile, "Boss, how much are these tomatoes?"

"Two yuan a pound," the stall owner replied.

"Could you give us a discount, boss? We're buying a lot, it's all for our own consumption, so please give us a fair price."

Yu Qin smiled and said, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

The stall owner hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I'll give you a discount of fifty cents, so it'll be one dollar and fifty cents."

"Okay, boss, please pick out a few more fresh ones for us," Chu Mengran said happily.

After some haggling, they finally managed to buy some fresh vegetables from the stall owner.

At this moment, Guo Miao walked to the meat stall.

His eyes lit up as he looked at the tender pieces of pork ribs on the stall.

He said to the stall owner, "Boss, give me two pounds of pork ribs."

The stall owner skillfully picked up a cleaver and cut off two pounds of pork ribs.

After weighing and packaging them, he said, "Young man, these ribs are very fresh."

"Of course, boss, please don't give us any substandard products, hahaha," Guo Miao said with a laugh.

Chen Dong followed behind, helping to carry the bags.

They would also occasionally offer their opinions, commenting on whether this dish was good or not, and whether that dish was suitable.

Before long, they had bought a lot of vegetables.

There are lush green vegetables, bright red apples, tender pork ribs, and various fresh fish and seasonings.

Their steps were light and joyful, and everyone was immersed in the joy of the upcoming celebration.

Back in the small apartment, everyone immediately divided the tasks and worked together.

Chu Mengran and Yu Qin put on aprons and took charge of washing and chopping vegetables.

While washing the tomatoes, Chu Mengran smiled and said to Yu Qin, "Today we have to cook a delicious meal to reward ourselves for our hard work."
