27: Chapter 27 A Triumphant Start
"There are so many similar software options out there. Why do you think people will use yours if they won't use the others?"
Shen Yan knew the other party would definitely ask this question.
He answered confidently, "Because social networking software is different. The users of workplace clock-in software are less like ordinary employees and more like companies."
"Since companies need to use this type of software, ordinary users will use it. If the company doesn't need it, then ordinary users won't use it either."
"But social software is different; that is a fundamental personal need. It's like a game. If fewer and fewer people are playing this game, and you've grown tired of it, wouldn't you want to try a new piece of software?"
Old Bai didn't play games, and he shook his head resolutely.
"I'm sorry, I'm a very loyal person."
"Pfft!"
Chen Guangke couldn't help but burst out laughing on the spot.
Old Bai's face turned extremely unpleasant from being laughed at. With a dark expression, he asked Chen Guangke, "Do you have an opinion about what I just said?"
Chen Guangke quickly shook his head: "No, no, how dare I have an opinion? Everything you said is correct. You are indeed very loyal."
As soon as he said that, even Bai Yu couldn't help but laugh.
To prevent the situation from escalating, Shen Yan quickly interjected, "Actually, our main demographic is young people between the ages of eighteen and thirty."
"Of course, I don't mean anything else. I just mean that young people in this age bracket have a relatively high need for socializing."
Sun Yang nodded, then asked, "Compared to other similar software, what are your advantages?"
Shen Yan replied word by word, "We have many innovative aspects that can be modified according to the needs of young people. Besides that, we also have experience..."
...The meeting lasted for more than three hours.
In the end, Sun Yang didn't state which of the two software options he would choose. He just gave Old Bai a look and called him outside.
Once only the two companies remained in the conference room, Bai Yu spoke.
"Your concept is actually quite good."
Shen Yan smiled and replied politely, "Your concept is also quite good."
Bai Yu waved his hand.
"No, no, my concept is just so-so. You are right; workplace clock-in software really doesn't have much room for growth after launch."
After the meeting, he already knew the outcome in his heart.
Just as he expected, Old Bai walked in and immediately announced that Shen Yan's studio had won.
"Next, we will give you one month. After one month, you must deliver the completed software to us."
Shen Yan nodded in agreement.
After finishing the arrangements, Old Bai called Bai Yu away.
Shen Yan and his group packed up their things and left Hengtian Company.
As soon as they stepped out of the entrance of Hengtian Company, Chen Guangke couldn't help but shout, "We succeeded! We succeeded!"
Seeing his boisterous demeanor, Shen Yan punched his shoulder: "It's just a small piece of software; no need to be so excited!"
Chen Guangke shook his head and replied, "You don't understand. This is the first software for our studio. For us, this is a huge step forward!"
As he spoke, he suddenly noticed that Wu Ya had been silent beside them.
He nudged Wu Ya and asked, "What's wrong? Why haven't you said anything? Do you really want to go work for their company?"
Wu Ya rolled her eyes. When had she ever said she wanted to work at Hengtian Company?
"Stop talking nonsense. I just feel that this company isn't as great as I imagined."
Chen Guangke was amused.
"It was just one meeting. Are you already disillusioned?"
Wu Ya let out an "Mm."
"Didn't I just go to the restroom? Right after I left the restroom, I saw that President Bai was yelling at someone, and it was incredibly harsh."
"I overheard a bit and realized the person being scolded was just because they brought the wrong tea."
At this point, she sighed.
"Just for bringing the wrong tea, he cursed at their family members. If it were me, I definitely couldn't handle that job."
Shen Yan patted her shoulder to comfort her: "It's just because he didn't get the result he wanted, so he's taking his anger out on others."
Chen Guangke nodded in agreement: "That's right, it must be like that. Don't worry, our studio only has three people, and no one will scold you except for me."
Wu Ya couldn't help but kick Chen Guangke.
"Get lost!"
"Don't run! Come back! Let me kick you again!"
Watching the two of them chase each other, Shen Yan was highly amused.
Everything was finally starting to move in a good direction.
【Ding! Random Special Mission Dropped: Someone has fainted at No. 20, Tianfu District. Please provide timely assistance.】
Someone fainted at home?
Shen Yan frowned and searched for Tianfu District on his phone.
Coincidentally, Tianfu District was not far from Hengtian Company; it would only take a little over an hour by taxi.
He called Wu Ya and Chen Guangke over.
"You two go back first. I have something else to do, so I'm leaving now."
Wu Ya and Chen Guangke nodded and took the subway back together.
The Special Mission only said someone fainted at home; it didn't specify the reason for the fainting.
Shen Yan was afraid he wouldn't be able to provide timely assistance.
So, he directly called an ambulance and instructed it to rush to No. 20, Tianfu District.
At the same time, he also rushed toward that location.
An hour and a half later, he successfully arrived in Tianfu District.
This area was a villa complex with strict security.
As soon as he reached the gate, he was stopped by a security guard.
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
Shen Yan opened his mouth, realizing he didn't know who the person in the Special Mission was.
"Uh, I wanted to ask if an ambulance has arrived here?"
The security guard nodded and replied, "Yes, there was one. The person has already been taken away, but who are you?"
Knowing the ambulance had arrived and the person had been rescued, Shen Yan replied with relief, "It's nothing, I was just asking."
After speaking, he turned and left, leaving behind a confused security guard.
Back home, Shen Yan told his sister about the day's events, as he usually did.
Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed his sister's finger twitch once.
"Xiaoya? Xiaoya! Did you just move?!"
"Can you move it again for your brother to see?"
Shen Yan was excited for a long time but found his sister showed no reaction.
He began to suspect he was hallucinating due to exhaustion.
"Xiaoya, can you hear what I'm saying? If you can hear me, please move your finger, okay?"
Five minutes passed, and Xiaoya remained motionless on the bed.
Just as he was about to give up, he saw Xiaoya's finger tremble slightly again.
"I saw it! I saw it!"
"Don't worry, I'll call a doctor for you right now!"
Saying that, he called the doctor at the nursing home and sent Xiaoya there.
