Chapter 239: Probably Been Set Up

Chapter 239: Chapter 239: Probably Been Set Up

"Not bad, I’ll see if I can apply for an advanced internet cafe title or banner for your cafe," the older police officer nodded and praised, "but you must continue to maintain this initial determination and strive to be a leader."

"You are overstating it, my small cafe can’t lead, but I will certainly not change my initial motivation and will keep it up, rest assured!" Lu Youxi promised.

Although the police didn’t find any issues after their arrival, they were even happier than if they had.

Laughing, they left with the young man.

After seeing off the police, Lu Youxi came back and loudly said to the customers, "Sorry for the interruption, everyone. I’ll extend everyone’s internet time by an additional hour for free."

"Big-hearted boss!" the crowd responded.

Lu Youxi had Pei Jingyuan extend everyone’s internet time by an hour on the manager’s computer.

Then he asked, "What was the situation with that young man just now? Tell me in detail."

Pei Jingyuan carefully explained, "The police came later, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was off. What if I had given in to that young man’s nagging and let him use the internet, and the police found out?"

"And how come right after that young man arrived, the police also showed up?" Pei Jingyuan whispered, "I’m afraid someone set us up."

Lu Youxi frowned, and Pei Jingyuan said, "There aren’t other internet cafes nearby, so there shouldn’t be any malicious competition."

"I’ll think about it when I get back," Lu Youxi said, "By the way, how’s the software development going?"

On that subject, Pei Jingyuan immediately perked up, "Boss, how long can you stay? Don’t you need to go back to class?"

"I have class in the afternoon, I’ll go back in a bit," Lu Youxi explained, "Why? You have a lot to say?"

Pei Jingyuan nodded, "But I can give you a brief overview first."

Lu Youxi then went behind Pei Jingyuan to watch his demonstration.

"The web version is actually quite simple, I had finished it a while ago, planning to optimize it along with the client side later," Pei Jingyuan showed the web version to Lu Youxi first, "Boss, your idea is really good, it would be great if we could connect to a high-traffic web navigation."

"I already have a basic prototype of the client, but it definitely needs further optimization," Pei Jingyuan said, "However, it would be best to do user-testing and continuously optimize based on user feedback. With more users, various usage experiences will come out, and definitely, a lot of bugs will be discovered."

"I’m asking you about this because Chengzhou Technology recently launched a support program," Lu Youxi said, "Have you heard about it?"

Pei Jingyuan shook his head, looking clueless.

Lu Youxi sighed, "You are specialized in this area, how can you not pay attention to relevant information at all?"

Pei Jingyuan scratched his head, "I’ve been so focused on software development that I haven’t had time to look at anything else."

Lu Youxi then pulled up the Chengzhou Technology support plan page.

"It’s this one," Lu Youxi pointed with the mouse to the relevant content, "It offers cooperation opportunities for young tech talents and encourages the development of innovative software. I reckon that Chengzhou Technology also wants to absorb more talent and leverage the creativity of young people to enhance their products’ competitiveness."

"I heard they are now working on Chengzhou Navigation. If it can successfully integrate with car central controls and smartphones, it will be a major progress in electronic information technology and smartization," Lu Youxi said, "It shows that Chengzhou Technology is always striving for continuous innovation and progress."

"If you can get Chengzhou’s support, your research will surely be empowered. Chengzhou computers always have their own browser, and the search engine and web navigation in the browser are also Chengzhou’s own. Plus, with their built-in client, if they could incorporate your software as well..."

Lu Youxi hadn’t finished speaking when Pei Jingyuan’s eyes were already wide, almost drooling.

In his mind, he visualized his software being part of Chengzhou’s ecosystem.

Opening a Chengzhou computer, his software would be right there on the desktop.

"Boss, what should we do?" Pei Jingyuan turned to ask Lu Youxi.

Lu Youxi pinched the corner of his eye and said, "I need to go back for class now, Ji Deyi will cover for you later. I’ll be back tonight. If you’re not too tired, stay and we can discuss more later."

"Okay, okay," Pei Jingyuan nodded repeatedly, "I’m not tired!"

Even when Lu Youxi left, Pei Jingyuan, with a reluctant face, stood at the door of the internet cafe waving at Lu Youxi, "Boss, come back early!"

Lu Youxi sighed.

During his afternoon class, Lu Youxi received texts from Pei Jingyuan every hour, "Boss, are you out of class yet?"

"Boss, when are you leaving school?"

Lu Youxi sighed again.

"I won’t be out till five," Lu Youxi replied helplessly.

Urged by Pei Jingyuan, Lu Youxi didn’t dare delay after class and quickly headed to the internet cafe after greeting his roommate.

Back at the cafe, both Pei Jingyuan and Ji Deyi were there.

As soon as they saw him come in, they both called out, "Boss!"

Lu Youxi went behind the manager’s desk, and Ji Deyi pulled up a computer chair for her, then the three of them sat down at the back of the cafe to discuss.

At that moment, Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu came over with boxed meals.

Lu Zhenguo went to distribute the meals to the customers, and Liu Yushu brought out three meals for Lu Youxi and the other two.

"I figured you would be talking here for a while, might not have time to go back for a meal, and both Xiao Ji and Xiao Pei can’t leave either, so I brought the meals down for you guys, you can eat and talk," Liu Yushu explained with a smile.

"Thank you, Auntie!" Ji Deyi and Pei Jingyuan quickly expressed their thanks.

"You’ve timed it perfectly, I reckon we indeed have a lot to discuss," Lu Youxi took the boxed meal.

After Liu Yushu and Lu Zhenguo finished distributing the meals, they went back first.

Pei Jingyuan was so immersed he barely touched his food, and said, "This afternoon I looked in detail at the support plan issued by Chengzhou Technology, it’s really pretty good. But... can we make it?"

"If we can’t, we’ll think of other ways," Lu Youxi said, "What venture succeeds on the first try? Chengzhou offers us one of the possibilities, let’s give it a try first."

"And, if we want to increase the chances of success, it ultimately depends on how good your software is. If it’s done well enough, why would Chengzhou ignore us?" Lu Youxi added pressure on Pei Jingyuan and Ji Deyi.

This software was primarily designed by Pei Jingyuan, but Ji Deyi, being from a related field, had definitely proven his capability by getting into Jing University.
