Lin Chen put down his chopsticks and said, "I want to develop a chat software."
"Chat software?" Xia Miaoyan asked, "Master, what kind of chat software do you want to develop? Why suddenly interested in software development?"
"Don't ask so many questions. When you go back to school, help me find some reliable software developers. Salary is negotiable with me, and it will be higher than other companies. You can sign a long-term contract," Lin Chen said.
This world didn't have a nationwide popular chat software yet, so Lin Chen planned to seize the market from now on.
However, he wasn't very interested in business and planned to hand the operations to trusted people after the initial phase.
This chat software was just Lin Chen's first step to making money. His next goal was to build a large shopping website, which was more complicated and could wait.
"Okay," Xia Miaoyan nodded. "I'll help you find them when I go back to school."
After saying this, Xia Miaoyan smiled slyly and asked, "Master, is there any reward for helping you?"
"No," Lin Chen answered decisively.
Hearing that, Xia Miaoyan's pretty face immediately soured. She complained, "What? Helping you with something and no reward? How about after I get this done, you take me as your disciple?"
Lin Chen took a sip of his drink. "Hurry up and eat. Don't think too much. After eating, I'll take you back to school."
Tomorrow was Monday and Xia Miaoyan had classes to attend.
Nearby, Zhang Tian'ai heard Xia Miaoyan mention becoming Lin Chen's disciple, and a spark of interest stirred in her heart. If Lin Chen taught her what he knew, maybe she could solve cases like a pro someday.
But judging by Lin Chen's attitude, he wasn't taking disciples, so she decided not to embarrass herself.
After dinner, Lin Chen planned to take a taxi to send Xia Miaoyan back to school, but Zhang Tian'ai said she was free and offered her car instead.
After dropping Xia Miaoyan off at the school gate, she got out and said to Lin Chen, "Master, rest assured, I will find some reliable people for you."
After watching Xia Miaoyan disappear into the school, Lin Chen restarted the car and drove toward 168 Changpo R
The ride was quiet. When they got home, it was late. Lin Chen said, "Be careful on the way."
Hearing that, Zhang Tian'ai thought to herself, "So this guy can be considerate too."
Lin Chen entered his room and opened the computer on his desk.
He planned to create the software called QQ Chat. If operated well, this software would become a national sensation and a daily necessity for many.
Of course, software development and promotion required a large sum of money. Lin Chen had about two million yuan in his account, enough for the startup, but not for ongoing promotion, maintenance, and server costs.
Solving cases was Lin Chen's greatest passion; making money wasn't his priority. He planned to earn money by other means to support QQ Chat's growth.
He would never do the foolish thing of seeking investment and sharing ownership—QQ Chat's future was huge, and Lin Chen wanted full control.
"Hmm... I'll just write a for now," Lin Chen murmured to himself.
His fingers tapped the keyboard, words appearing in the document.
An hour later, Lin Chen looked down at the word count. Without realizing it, he had written over 30,000 words.
"Over 30,000 words in an hour, that speed..." Lin Chen smiled, took a sip of water, and continued typing.
After writing the first 100,000 words of Shrouding the Sky, Lin Chen opened Lufei Network, the largest website in this parallel world.
He created an author account and hesitated slightly before choosing the pen name "Tian Chen."
He upld the first 30,000 words all at once.
Feeling a bit tired afterward, Lin Chen stretched and went to rest.
The next morning, still groggy, Lin Chen planned to open his computer to check the status of Shrouding the Sky, update the chapters, and then go back to sleep.
But just as he got up, the doorbell rang downstairs.
Lin Chen went down to open the door and was a bit taken aback to see two people: Zhang Tian'ai and Miao Yunfei, whose cold demeanor hadn't changed since the day before.
Looking at them, Lin Chen asked, "What are you doing here?"
Before Zhang Tian'ai could answer, Miao Yunfei interrupted, "I came to tell you the truth about the rooftop fall case."
Hearing this, Lin Chen began closing the door, saying, "Sorry, I'm busy."
Miao Yunfei immediately placed her hand on the door, biting her silver teeth, softening her tone, "Lin Chen, I was a bit rude yesterday. Please forgive me and let us in."
Miao Yunfei's sudden change in attitude made Lin Chen slightly stunned. He couldn't quite understand why she acted this way.
