124: There is a problem with Chapter 124.

Chen Guangke and Wu Ya exchanged a look and answered in unison, "Let's eat out."

Shen Yan didn't expect the two of them to have such identical opinions.

"Fine, then what do you two want to eat?"

Wu Ya and Chen Guangke glanced at each other, then looked away.

"You drove today and looked at houses, you must be tired. We can just eat something casual outside."

Wu Ya nodded in agreement.

"That's right, Chen Guangke and I aren't picky."

Shen Yan didn't stand on ceremony with them. He directly squatted down and asked Youyou, "Then what do you want to eat, Youyou?"

Youyou looked up, her bright eyes fixed on Shen Yan, and said, "I want to eat a hamburger and fries."

Shen Yan frowned, raised his hand, and gently pinched Youyou's nose.

"Why is it hamburgers and fries again? Can't you have something else?"

Youyou honestly shook her head.

"I just want this..."

Shen Yan didn't want to agree.

After all, hamburgers and fries are junk food, and eating too much isn't good.

"Old Chen, Xiao Wu, do you two have anything you want to eat?"

Just as Chen Guangke was about to shake his head, Wu Ya tugged his hand.

"What are you doing?"

Wu Ya ignored him, squatted down, and said to Youyou with a smile, "Youyou, we're thinking of having a proper meal today. Would you like to go eat with us?"

Youyou was clearly a bit hesitant.

She poked around with two fingers for a long time before nodding.

"Eat..."

Hearing the answer, Shen Yan nodded with satisfaction.

If he had directly refused Youyou's request, she would surely have gotten angry.

But if someone else tactfully refused Youyou's request, she wouldn't necessarily get as angry.

"Sigh, then this matter is happily settled. Let's go eat at a restaurant near home!"

When they arrived at the restaurant, the three of them chatted about investment while eating.

"Brother Shen, why did you suddenly decide to invest in real estate?"

"I've always had this idea and have scouted the area many times. After my repeated investigations, I believe the housing prices in the East District have a very high chance of rising within the next year, so I bought one."

After answering, Shen Yan suddenly remembered something.

That was that the tycoon system hadn't given him the wealth intelligence reward yet.

Discovering this, he immediately and secretly opened the system under the table.

As soon as the semi-transparent system panel opened, he saw the words: System Upgrading.

Good heavens.

So it was upgrading again.

Regarding system upgrades, his attitude was one of welcoming it.

Because once the system upgraded, his wealth intelligence would also upgrade.

"Old Shen, Old Shen!"

Shen Yan snapped back to attention. He asked Chen Guangke, "What's wrong?"

Chen Guangke frowned and replied, "We were just calling you, and you suddenly stopped talking."

Shen Yan smiled and said, "I was just thinking about something else, so I didn't hear what you were saying. What's up? Why did you call me?"

Wu Ya replied, "It's nothing major. We just wanted to say that if you need any help from us financially, just ask us anytime."

Shen Yan was stunned for a moment, then became somewhat emotional as he picked up the cup beside him.

"Thank you, really, thank you for being willing to stay with me from when we had nothing until now."

Chen Guangke picked up his cup with a look of disdain and clinked it against Shen Yan's cup.

"Alright, why do you always have to make things so sappy? As best friends who could practically wear the same pair of pants, who else would I stick with if not you?"

Wu Ya also raised her cup and clinked it with theirs.

"Although I'm not a best friend who could practically wear the same pair of pants as you two, I will honor my promise and stick with whatever you guys do!"

The three of them clinked glasses, shared a knowing smile, and drank the water in their respective cups.

...The next day.

The company began vigorously developing the live streaming function.

Originally, Shen Yan thought installing the live streaming function would be easy.

It was only when they actually tried to install it that he realized it wasn't that simple.

"Why did the live streaming room crash again?"

Hearing Shen Yan's question, Chen Guangke was also extremely frustrated.

This was already their tenth trial live stream.

No matter how they modified it, the live streaming room would always freeze shortly after people started entering.

"We've checked it countless times. There are no viruses or bugs in the software. We really don't know what's going on..."

Seeing Chen Guangke constantly rubbing his head in frustration, Shen Yan patted his shoulder and said:

"Don't worry. The lag in the live streaming room must be a software issue. We'll check slowly and look for it bit by bit."

Chen Guangke's mentality wasn't as good as Shen Yan's. He stared at Shen Yan with a wronged expression and said, "Do we really have that much time?"

"More importantly, we've already checked all the external running programs and modified them. If we need to investigate further, we'll have to touch the core program."

"You're a programmer too, you know what touching the core program means."

Shen Yan certainly knew. The core program was like a person's heart.

Whether it was sick or not, it had to keep beating there.

If it stopped, the person would die.

Similarly, if the core program was modified carelessly, it could very likely become inoperable, leading to software collapse.

"Don't worry, I know. How about this: you all screen the external programs one more time and see if there are any overlooked bugs."

Chen Guangke nodded weakly.

His original thought, like Shen Yan's, was that inserting a live streaming function would be very easy.

It wasn't until the software taught him a harsh lesson in reality that he realized the gap between practice and theory.

After finishing his talk with Chen Guangke, Shen Yan returned directly to his office.

Because he hadn't been involved in the live streaming industry before, he didn't clearly understand how live streaming programs operated, nor did he know where the problem with the live streaming function's operation lay.

Since he wasn't clear, he would find someone who was clearer—Cheng Shi.

This person was his university classmate and also worked in IT.

It was said that he was currently working in live stream maintenance.

Shen Yan thought he could ask this person.

Thinking this, he pulled out his phone and sent a message to this person.

【Cheng Shi, are you there?】

Because he didn't expect the other person to reply instantly, he put his phone aside immediately after sending the message.

When he picked up his phone again when he had time, the other person had already sent him several messages.

【I'm here, of course I'm here! Why are you suddenly looking for me?】

【You're not here to borrow money, are you? Hahaha!】

【Sigh, brother, let me tell you, looking for me to borrow money is useless. I don't have money right now either. I just got laid off and I'm really tight on cash...】

Seeing the last message, Shen Yan was slightly surprised.
