At the Volkswagen dealership, Dad and Mom had picked one out too—a Volkswagen Touareg SUV. Even fully equipped, it only cost a little over 800,000 yuan, and Chu Feng bought it without even blinking.
Before long, a white McLaren, followed by the Touareg, drove out of the auto show plaza.
With the sports car's elegant lines and the roar of its engine, it drew one hundred percent attention.
The next day, Chu Feng drove the McLaren to the company.
Zheng Yun had informed him yesterday that he needed to visit the company, at least so the employees could get to know him. Chu Feng had also decided to speed things up. The previous online interview was still generating buzz, with many people remaining skeptical and plenty of famous influencers claiming it was all hype.
He would use the product to make every last one of them shut up.
He arrived at the underground parking lot and was just about to take the president's private elevator to his office.
"Wait~" a man called out.
A man hurried over, followed by a woman wrapped up so tightly that she was practically unrecognizable.
"Sorry, traffic was bad today. We almost didn't make it."
The man hurriedly apologized as soon as he entered the elevator.
"It's fine. Which floor?"
"Uh, the sixth floor. Thanks!"
Chu Feng pressed the button for them, then took a closer look at the two of them.
The masked woman looked displeased when she saw Chu Feng staring at her.
Chu Feng smiled awkwardly. "Sorry, you just seem familiar."
The woman took off her mask. "Hello, I'm Liu Xuefei."
Chu Feng lightly shook the beautiful woman's outstretched hand, freezing for a moment before coming back to himself.
"The Fairy Sister?" Was this the wildly popular actress Liu Xuefei? He hadn't expected to run into her in an elevator.
"Hehe, little brother." Liu Xuefei gave him a mischievous smile and went along with it.
Chu Feng looked utterly embarrassed.
Fortunately, the elevator chimed, breaking the awkwardness. They quickly reached the sixth floor.
Liu Xuefei and the man who was probably her agent stepped out of the elevator.
"Xuefei, why did you take off your mask? What if rumors start spreading? The company will complain again," the agent said worriedly.
"Brother Wei, haven't you figured it out even now?" Liu Xuefei replied helplessly.
"That man is the boss we're signing with today. Don't you ever go online?"
"What? He... he's Chu Feng?" Brother Wei said in surprise. Chu Feng was far too young. He had thought he was some executive's relative using connections to get in.
Liu Xuefei shook her head without saying anything else, leaving Brother Wei standing there in a daze.
Brother Wei was good in every way except that he was a little slow on the uptake. If Liu Xuefei were not so loyal to old ties, she would have fired him long ago.
Chu Feng also returned to his office. The secretary team had been recruited, but the look in Chu Feng's eyes was rather strange.
All five secretaries had received word that the chairman would be coming today, so they had been waiting for him.
The elevator doors opened, and five voices rang out, making Chu Feng's eyes light up.
All five were beauties, each with her own distinct charm. They wore matching fitted silver-gray business suits, gauzy blouses underneath, silver-gray miniskirts, and black stockings that made their slender legs look even more alluring.
Seeing Chu Feng's slightly awkward expression, four of them covered their mouths and giggled. Only one short-haired girl remained expressionless.
"Stop laughing. Go do what you need to do. You there, bring today's schedule to my office."
The other four laughed as they dispersed, while the short-haired beauty looked extremely unwilling.
Back in his office, Chu Feng sat in the wide, comfortable executive chair and could not help smiling when he thought of those secretaries.
"They say secretaries handle things when there's work, and when there isn't..."
He shook his head, tossing aside those unhealthy thoughts. The short-haired secretary was already waiting at the door, and seeing Chu Feng's "lecherous grin," she grew even more nervous.
She slowly shuffled toward his desk and held out a folder from as far away as possible.
Chu Feng looked at the secretary in confusion, then at the folder being held so far from him.
"What are you doing?"
"The file!"
"I know that. Bring it over!" Chu Feng was getting annoyed. What was this supposed to be?
The secretary seemed to summon tremendous courage before approaching and handing over the folder with trembling hands.
Chu Feng took the folder suspiciously and opened it. It was today's schedule: first, Chu Feng's introductory speech, followed by signing the spokesperson.
"Just as I thought!"
The spokesperson listed was Liu Xuefei.
However, Chu Feng had no objections to Liu Xuefei. Legend of Sword and Fairy had recently become incredibly popular, and Liu Xuefei, who played the Fairy Sister in it, had shot to fame overnight. She also had a good reputation and suited young people's tastes perfectly.
After giving it a quick look, he found nothing wrong with it. Chu Feng looked at the icy secretary before him in confusion. He did not think he had done anything to her, yet she acted as if he were some kind of villain.
"That's all. Notify every department that there'll be a meeting in half an hour. You can go."
He did not bother arguing with a young girl and let her leave. The secretary ran off as though she were fleeing disaster.
"Am I really that scary?" Chu Feng rubbed his chin, shook his head, and stopped thinking about it.
A little later, another secretary entered in sky-high heels.
"Chairman, the meeting has been arranged, but Liu Xuefei wants to sit in. I'm not sure..."
"It's fine. Let her attend."
"Yes, Chairman."
"Wait!" Chu Feng called out to the secretary who was about to leave.
"Is there anything else you need, Chairman?" the secretary asked in confusion.
"Do I look scary?"
Hearing Chu Feng's question, the secretary burst out laughing and replied with amusement, "You're so handsome, Chairman. How could you possibly be scary?"
"Uh, you can go now..." Chu Feng waved her away.
"I'm really losing it." He shook his head helplessly, then left his office and headed downstairs for the meeting.
When he arrived at the enormous conference room on the sixth floor, the huge conference table was already full. Zheng Yun sat in the first seat on the left. Liu Xuefei sat at the end as an observer, while the man who was likely her agent was nowhere to be seen.
When everyone saw Chu Feng enter, they rose and applauded in welcome.
This was the chairman's first meeting, so everyone was eager to make a good impression.
"Everyone, have a seat." Chu Feng waved for them to sit down.
He walked to the head of the table but did not sit. Instead, he spoke directly. "Today is our first meeting. Although we haven't met before, I've carefully learned about every one of you. Some of you are older and experienced, while others are young, driven, and full of energy. The company's development and future will depend on everyone's efforts."
"Clap clap clap..." Thunderous applause broke out.
"In the age of the internet, several things matter most: quality, customers, and reputation."
"I'm sure everyone understands Origin Accelerator. It is the company's first creation. When it comes to quality, I can proudly say that it crushes every other accelerator. Who else can be this stable? Who else can improve computer performance several times over? No one. And even now, have you seen any comparable software on the market? No. So why did I make it free at the beginning? Take a look at this chart."
A statistical chart appeared on the screen behind him. Xiao Meng had made it.
It listed the download and installation figures from Origin Accelerator's launch until now, nearly a month later.
"As you can see, in just one month, domestic downloads have exceeded 250 million, with a retention rate close to 98%."
"Downloads overseas have now exceeded 100 million, with an almost 100% retention rate."
The chart made everyone's blood boil, because this was a miracle, and they were witnessing its birth.
The younger employees nearly howled with excitement. They were already at an age full of passion, not to mention that they were witnessing the birth of something that would make history.
Even the older employees felt the blood that had lain cold for years begin to heat up again. There was real potential here!
From the back of the room, Liu Xuefei watched Chu Feng command the room with confidence, and her heart trembled. She had truly come to the right place this time. It was not just for the 20 million yuan after-tax endorsement fee, but because she had found the direction she wanted to pursue.
That was right. Liu Xuefei wanted to pursue Chu Feng. A good man never lacked admirers, and Chu Feng had not yet risen to prominence. She also believed in her own abilities. Although she was in the entertainment industry, Liu Xuefei had always kept herself pure and had never submitted to those unspoken rules.
If Liu Xuefei knew that Huang Ying had already won Chu Feng over, she would probably be depressed to death.
"This isn't the main point. This is only the beginning." Chu Feng's words abruptly quieted the conference room. Everyone focused intently on him. No one looked down on him anymore just because he was young.
Chu Feng took a brand-new phone from his pocket.
Zheng Yun had already seen it before. The moment he saw Chu Feng take out that familiar phone, he became excited as well.
The executives beside him were baffled by General Manager Zheng's excitement. Manager Zheng was an old hand who had dominated the business world for years. Why was he so excited? Was this thing really that extraordinary?
They could not help becoming even more curious.
The phone screen connected to the projector.
The home screen was clean, without a pile of messy apps. There was only an adorable cartoon girl wearing a cute qipao, with two buns in her hair and big sparkling eyes.
"Xiaoke, say hello to everyone," Chu Feng said to the phone.
"Hello, everyone. I'm the cutest Xiaoke, Master's most loyal little butler."
Her sweet voice reached everyone's ears through the speakers.
Everyone looked at it suspiciously.
"Chairman, may I ask what this... butler does?" Deputy Manager Lin Haidong asked in confusion.
Chu Feng smiled, motioned for Lin Haidong to sit down, and then said to Xiaoke:
"Xiaoke, introduce yourself to everyone."
"Okay, Master."
Xiaoke gave an adorable little bow and began speaking. "I am Master's exclusive personal butler. I can help Master arrange his schedule, answer Master's questions, improve phone performance, stabilize the phone system, remove viruses, and more. Most importantly, I can chat with Master anytime. I serve Master alone!"
Xiaoke's words left everyone dumbfounded.
If it was real, then the internet world would truly be shaken to its core!
