Chapter 270: Chapter 270: CEO, Your Wife Has Come to Collaborate with Chengzhou

Lu Youxi also briefly introduced their software.

Tang Zhewei realized that the software developed by both parties was not competing products, which made the atmosphere much more relaxed.

The two sides conducted a friendly exchange and interaction.

Because of the pleasant conversation and that their products were not in competition, everyone felt at ease.

Geng Junjie looked at the attire of the three of them and, unable to hold back, asked, "Why didn’t you guys dress up a bit before coming? At least wear some business attire. Why come dressed like this? What if you leave a bad impression on the Chengzhou folks, impacting your application result?"

Lu Youxi sighed and said, "We three are just poor college students with tight finances. The little money we managed to save up has all been spent on software development; where would we find extra money for clothes? We thought it would be better to save whatever we could for continuing our research instead."

With Lu Youxi’s explanation, Tang Zhewei’s group suddenly looked ashamed.

Yi Zhiming regretfully tugged at the sleeve of his suit, "Lu Youxi has a point. Look at us, this outfit wasn’t cheap. It would have been much better to spend that money on our software."

Tang Zhewei adjusted his slightly slipping black-rimmed glasses, "I was too concerned with appearances. We really shouldn’t have focused so much on the external."

"It’s not your fault, all three of us initially thought the same way; to dress up nicely and make a good impression on Chengzhou," Geng Junjie sighed. "But we forgot that having a good product is what really counts. As long as our software is good enough, maybe no one will care how we look."

Lu Youxi: "..."

Ah, no, although she was being honest, she didn’t expect them to reflect on themselves this much.

Pei Jingyuan: "..."

Ji Deyi: "..."

Do you really believe everything Lu Youxi said?

Suddenly, the two looked at Lu Youxi with a gleam in their eyes that shouted: You’re really good at persuading.

Lu Youxi: "..."

No, seriously, are these two about to start a rebellion?

Where was her authority as the boss?

At that moment, a Chengzhou staff member came over to notify Tang Zhewei and his team that it was their turn to introduce their software.

Tang Zhewei’s group stood up, nervously taking a deep breath.

"Good luck, wish you success!" Lu Youxi encouraged them.

"Thank you, and we wish you success too," Tang Zhewei nodded and said with a slight smile.

The three of them then left the meeting room.

Now only Lu Youxi’s team remained in the meeting room. Pei Jingyuan whispered, "Why does this feel like an interview?"

Ji Deyi glanced at the time on his phone, "Looks like each team has about twenty minutes, which is a bit tight."

Pei Jingyuan nodded, "I thought we’d have a chance to introduce our product and our ideas in detail, like at a meeting."

Lu Youxi shook her head and said, "After Chengzhou announced the startup support collaboration, surely many teams signed up. The initial email reviews filtered out some teams, and then came the interviews, which eliminated more. In the end, there probably won’t be many teams left, maybe just a handful."

"At that stage, it’s really about both parties sitting down to negotiate the cooperation. Plus, if there are any issues during these discussions or if any side encounters a problem causing the cooperation to break down, that’s possible too. We’re currently in the interview stage. Chengzhou has to interview so many teams in a day, they won’t give each team much time."

"So we must use this limited time effectively to leave a strong impression on Chengzhou. Our product must firstly be interesting enough for them to want to learn more. This step also really tests a team’s ability," Lu Youxi said softly, "It’s like a hidden challenge in the interview assessment."

Pei Jingyuan wiped a nonexistent sweat from his forehead and exhaled, "Man, even the interview has so many layers. It’s a good thing you’re here, boss, because if it was just us two, we’d have no clue."

Ji Deyi whispered, "We’d probably do the same as Tang Zhewei’s group, buying proper clothes and coming here to introduce our product."

Lu Youxi chuckled and said, "Actually, that’s not wrong. Ultimately, having a good product is what’s most important. As long as the product is solid, everything else is secondary."

But despite Lu Youxi’s seemingly confident and calm demeanor here, acting like she’s the backbone and not a bit nervous, her composure helped Pei Jingyuan and Ji Deyi to calm down as well, and even inspired them to have some inexplicable confidence because of her.

However, in reality, Lu Youxi herself was extremely nervous on the inside. The success of this venture was very important to her.

Chengzhou had considerately prepared water for everyone, still displaying polite attentiveness.

But the three of them dared not drink, fearing they’d need the bathroom while presenting.

Finally, the waiting ended when a staff member came to tell them it was their turn.

The three of them quickly stood up.

Pei Jingyuan grabbed Ji Deyi’s arm for support, "What do we do, Old Ji? I’m nervous; my legs are like jelly."

Ji Deyi himself swallowed nervously, "You have to hold on, the explanation of our software is all on you."

"Take deep breaths." Lu Youxi said softly, "It’s okay, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. The worst that can happen is that we get eliminated. You trust in my ability to make money. Even if we don’t succeed here, we can still promote our software ourselves."

"Sure, the boss makes money quickly," Ji Deyi hurriedly reassured Pei Jingyuan. "The boss is right, regardless, we’ve got to get our software out there, even if it means doing it ourselves this time."

Lu Youxi smiled and said, "Yes, we’re still young, just freshmen. We have plenty of time to learn from our mistakes; there’s no need to be nervous."

Pei Jingyuan paused, then suddenly slapped his thigh, "Yeah, we’re just freshmen!"

Ji Deyi: "...What? Bro, you forgot? Even though you don’t go back to school much, you couldn’t have forgotten, could you?"

"Ha!" Pei Jingyuan said quietly, "It’s mainly because our boss acts in a way that doesn’t seem like a freshman. Following her and watching what she does, I tend to forget I’m also just a freshman."

"..." Ji Deyi scratched his head, "You know, now that the boss mentioned it, I kind of forgot too."

Halfway down the corridor, they bumped into Tang Zhewei’s group, who had just come out from their presentation.

Now that they were all familiar with Tang Zhewei’s group, Ji Deyi quickly greeted them, "Brother Tang, how did your talk go?"

Tang Zhewei couldn’t be sure himself and said, "We got a bit nervous once inside and I’m not sure how we came across to them. But we tried to say everything we wanted to, and now we’ll just wait for the results."

But judging by the expressions on their faces, they did not seem very confident.
