My Exclusive Dream World Adventures
Chapter 259 - Chapter 259 259 Self-study

Chapter 259: 259 Self-study Chapter 259: 259 Self-study In the top-floor office, Yang Jinxia sat at the tea table, holding a wooden tweezer in her hand. She clamped onto a teacup, tilted it onto another cup filled with hot water, and immersed the rim into the hot water.

She gently rotated the cup, washed it once around, then clamped it up and placed it back on the tea tray.

On the opposite wall, a sixty-inch television had appeared at some point. It was broadcasting an interview. Her eyes turned toward the TV.

“Firstly, congratulations on your new song topping several major music platforms.”

“Thank you.”

“We noticed that you wrote the lyrics and composed the music yourself. Can you share with us the inspiration behind it?”

“This song was inspired by a dream…”

Upon seeing this, Yang Jinxia suddenly asked her assistant beside her, “Shanshan, do you think all men have a star complex?”

Standing next to her was a woman in her thirties with short hair and a sharp, efficient look. She smiled and said, “Men or women, it’s quite normal to fantasize about stars.”

“Right, the sense of achievement in possessing the dream lover of countless men is definitely unparalleled.” Yang Jinxia’s face wore an almost mocking smile.

Beside her, Shanshan couldn’t help but spawn many thoughts. Lately, Mr. Yang had been paying an unusual amount of attention to Bai Jinxuan, compounded by the current conversation.

During this time, she faintly heard some rumors; Mr. Yang had fallen in love. From her judgment, it seemed true. Mr. Yang’s words now made her inevitably speculate–could it be that Mr. Yang had become romantic rivals with Bai Jinxuan?

This could indeed be explosive big news.

However, she kept these thoughts hidden inside, showing nothing on her face and not daring to ask more.

At that moment, Yang Jinxia’s ever-present mobile phone rang.

Shanshan was struck by a thought; she had never heard it ring before, this was the first time. Even she did not know the number of this phone. She guessed this phone must be specially used by Mr. Yang to keep in touch with his lover.

Yang Jinxia put down what she was holding, took out the phone, glanced at the message, and swiftly typed a reply.

Then, she stood up and said, “Shanshan, accompany me out for a bit.”

“Yes, Mr. Yang.”

Shanshan was somewhat confused internally but didn’t ask, guessing it was probably related to her job.

Previously, she had been the CFO in an IT company, representing Jinxiu Investment to oversee that company’s finances. Last month, Jinxiu Investment had sold all shares of that company, and she had resigned from her role as CFO, returning to Jinxiu Investment.

Until now, Mr. Yang had not arranged a new job for her. He just kept her by his side.

They drove to a cafe a few streets away and sat down in a corner booth.

After ordering two cups of coffee, Yang Jinxia said, “You’ve been with that company for four or five years, right?”

“Four years and nine months,” Shanshan replied.

After graduating, she had joined Jinxiu Investment. Due to her outstanding work capabilities, she was quickly appreciated and became one of Yang Jinxia’s assistants within two years, soon getting the opportunity to go to that IT company as CFO. Whether it was her position or salary, she was far ahead of her classmates from the same cohort.

Moreover, she also married a high-ranking executive from an even more renowned IT company, achieving both career and love success.

Yang Jinxia continued, “What work do you plan to pursue next?”

“I will follow the company’s arrangements.”

Mr. Huang had mentioned several times that he wanted her to stay at his company. “From this, it’s clear you’ve done excellent work over these years. You should continue in IT then.”

Shanshan nodded, showing no objection.

“However, it’s a newly established company on the other side, with an initial fund of only two million. Everything has to start from scratch. Of course, you don’t have to worry about the salary; Jinxiu Investment will handle that.”

Yang Jinxia was speaking when she glanced at the time, “You have eight minutes to consider, you can also call your husband to discuss. If you’re not willing, I’ll arrange something else for you.”

Shanshan realized this could be a turning point in her career. She couldn’t help but be cautious, and this time, instead of saying she would follow the company’s arrangement, she bowed her head and genuinely started thinking.

As minutes ticked by, not even eight minutes had passed when Chen Xu appeared at the entrance. He asked, “How’s your decision?”

Shanshan looked up, clearly having made her decision, and said, “I trust your judgment.”

“Good.”

Yang Jinxia nodded. At this time, Chen Xu had already seen them and was walking over.

“Let me introduce you, Chen Xu, Liu Shanshan.”

“Hello.” Chen Xu extended his hand and shook hands with the sharp-looking woman before him, slightly puzzled about why Yang Jinxia had brought her here.

Yang Jinxia said, “Shanshan previously worked at an IT company and understands this industry quite well. From now on, she will be helping you.”

It then dawned on Chen Xu, and he felt no resistance. Since he had asked her for investment, he had anticipated her involvement in the company’s affairs.

He said to Liu Shanshan, “From now on, I hope you can take good care of me.”

Liu Shanshan smiled and said, “You are my boss, I should be the one taking care of you.”

Yang Jinxia asked, “Have you made up your mind?”

“Yes,” Chen Xu replied, taking out a document from his briefcase and handing it over, “This is my business plan, please take a look.”

Yang Jinxia took it, flipping through it with interest, “You’ve prepared quite thoroughly. Tell me, what project are you planning to do?”

Chen Xu said, “Initially, I plan to focus on input methods, specifically voice input.”

Yang Jinxia glanced at Liu Shanshan beside her.

Only then did Liu Shanshan speak, “Currently, there are already multiple input methods on the market, and the technology is quite mature. In terms of voice input, there’s one company doing exceptionally well. Entering this area might face intense competition. How do you plan to promote your product?”

Chen Xu was, of course, aware of this, but it was a necessary choice. In the second dream world, all the programs recorded in the main computer were practical types, such as system software, databases, office software, and various tool software.

Either they were not suitable for promotion, or they required too high hardware specifications.

In the end, he had chosen voice input as the most suitable.

In the dream world, he, Yang Jinxia, 2003, and S01 communicated through direct dialogues. Even with 2003, there were no obstacles in communication. It was apparent how excellent its language module was.

Chen Xu extracted only the voice recognition part from the robot’s language module as his first project.

He also knew that standing out among the numerous input software was not going to be easy.

“Spend heavily,” he summarized his promotion strategy with two words, “I already have a mature product and can spend all the money on promotion. I believe that with the outstanding features of the product, we will soon capture a part of the market.”

This straightforward approach made Liu Shanshan involuntarily look towards Yang Jinxia, who was the real financial powerhouse here.

Yang Jinxia said, “Twenty million is the first investment, and there will be an additional one billion later.”

With 1.02 billion, minus the company’s operating costs, it would be enough to burn for a while.

Liu Shanshan then asked, “Then what do you plan to use to generate revenue in the future?”

“Promoting the input method is my first step. I do not plan to rely on this project to generate profit. Once the input method becomes popular, I will launch the second product, online translation.”

Chen Xu did not hide it from them, “Besides the most mainstream Chinese-to-English translation, there will be Neonese, South Rod language, all Southeast Asian countries, and all European countries included.”

Upon hearing everything, Liu Shanshan frowned and couldn’t help but interrupt him after he finished, “Mr. Chen, you must be aware of what a huge project it is to develop such software?”

Chen Xu smiled slightly and said, “I wouldn’t hide it from you, the translation module is almost done. It only needs ten more days to complete. Then, you can try it out yourself.”

Looking at him, a thought flashed through Liu Shanshan’s mind, wondering whether this man in front of her was a real genius or a fraud.

At that moment, Chen Xu took out a smartphone and said, “I have already finished the voice input. This phone has the input software installed, and you can try it out.”

Liu Shanshan looked at Yang Jinxia, and after seeing no intention from her to receive it, took it herself. She opened a document software, and the input method appeared, looking quite plain compared to the mainstream input methods on the market.

She pressed the voice input button and spoke a few sentences to the phone. The words appeared quickly and without any errors. The recognition rate was very high.

Then, she tried some less used formal language. At first, there were some errors, but as she finished speaking, the previous mistakes had already been automatically corrected, still without errors.

She was somewhat surprised. She had used other input methods’ voice recognition before, and while everyday language was acceptable, the accuracy dropped significantly with formal language.

Suddenly, she became interested, sitting there and testing it for nearly ten minutes, growing more amazed as she continued. Except for the names, which were most prone to errors, and some short sentences that could be wrong. The longer the sentences, the higher the accuracy, even some rare characters were recognized correctly.

“This is indeed a very excellent product,” she exclaimed, looking at Chen Xu with completely changed eyes, “Did you develop this alone?”

“Right,” at this time, Chen Xu couldn’t be modest.

Liu Shanshan recalled in her mind if there was a tech guru named Chen Xu in this city, but she had no impression at all, “May I know which school you graduated from?”

“XX Vocational Technical College.”

Liu Shanshan was a bit stunned, she had never heard of it, and moreover, the naming style…

“It’s a community college,” Chen Xu saw her expression and smiled, saying, “I am self-taught.”

In fact, he wanted to find a teacher but couldn’t find one, so he had no choice but to boast.

“Self-taught…” Liu Shanshan was even more shocked.
