Chapter 0350: New Semester

Why is it more reliable for professionals to do professional work than for amateurs to lead experts? Because professionals devote themselves wholeheartedly to their field, constantly summarizing experiences and lessons in the process, making decisions based on personal involvement rather than by listening to reports and making decisions on a whim.

In Zhao Fusheng's view, Wang Zhen's parents were being somewhat wishful, thinking that as long as their eldest son went into business with Zhao Fusheng, it would be easy to place their younger son into the venture. This would both give the younger son a job and ensure there was someone on their side in the partnership—a win-win situation.

But the problem was, they never considered Zhao Fusheng's feelings.

No matter how good a friend, a friend is just a friend.

Zhao Fusheng was willing to bring Wang Zhen along because he regarded Wang Zhen as a friend, cherishing the bond from their past life, but that didn't mean he would do business with Wang Zhen's entire family.

So Zhao Fusheng gave the suggestion that Wang Zhen's parents open a supermarket.

As for the rest, his attitude was already clear: he wouldn't take Wang Zhen into his business. Investing a few tens of thousands and expecting shares—how could Zhao Fusheng agree to that?

Wang Zhen himself understood. After all, his earlier behavior had shown distrust toward Zhao Fusheng, and now he was trying to take advantage of him. If his parents hadn't repeatedly pressured him to bring it up, he wouldn't have wanted to mention it to Zhao Fusheng. Now that Zhao Fusheng had politely declined, he felt relieved.

"Old Zhao, I'm sorry..." Wang Zhen opened his mouth and said to Zhao Fusheng.

Zhao Fusheng smiled and waved his hand: "No need. You are you, your parents are your parents. They have nothing to do with each other."

Wang Zhen nodded and didn't bring up the matter again.

They hung out at the internet café for a while, but there wasn't much to do, so they went out, found a barbecue place, had some late-night snacks, and then returned to the dorm.

School started tomorrow, and they had classes. No one dared to be late on the first day.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, re-experiencing the hustle and bustle of the campus, Zhao Fusheng got up, washed up, had breakfast with Tan Kaixuan and Wang Zhen, and headed to the classroom.

As for Wen Yu?

Heh, he had long gone to his girlfriend's dormitory building to deliver a loving breakfast.

With just over a year left until graduation, relationships among classmates were pretty good. Whether familiar or not, they nodded when they met. Even Hu Xia and Tan Kaixuan, the ex-couple, exchanged smiles.

They were all young, with no deep grudges. Once it was over, it was over. There was no need to act like enemies.

"By the way, did you hear? Hu Xia broke up with her boyfriend," Wang Zhen said after going out for a walk and returning to Zhao Fusheng and Tan Kaixuan.

Zhao Fusheng was startled; he really didn't know about this.

Tan Kaixuan nodded: "It happened around the Spring Festival."

"Ah?"

Wang Zhen and Zhao Fusheng both looked at him, the latter even more surprised: "How do you know?"

Tan Kaixuan looked helplessly at Zhao Fusheng: "Come on, can't you chat with classmates occasionally when you're online?"

Then he explained.

Nowadays, OICQ's user base was surging. Many young people were using this chat software, and classmates in the class had also applied for accounts. Tan Kaixuan had added quite a few people, including Hu Xia's roommate. He had heard the news from her.

As for Zhao Fusheng, his OICQ friend list was pitifully small. Besides the three people in his dorm and Boss Ma, there were only two females: Miss Fan Baobao and Zhou Yun.

Even those two, Fan Baobao had taken the initiative to ask for Zhao Fusheng's number and added him.

"It seems OICQ is preparing to launch a new version. Then we can create groups and pull the whole class in," Tan Kaixuan said with a smile.

Zhao Fusheng nodded, thinking to himself that Boss Ma was quite fast. The thing he had mentioned to him before was about to be released as an official version soon.

In fact, technology, especially instant messaging software, often just needs a new idea. Once you open the blocked window, the scenery outside immediately becomes clear.

Zhao Fusheng pointed the direction, and the technical team led by Zhang Yadong quickly produced a prototype. Boss Ma naturally wouldn't slack off; he was hoping OICQ would soon break the 100,000 concurrent users mark.

Wen Yu ran into the classroom as the bell rang. Zhao Fusheng gave him a dirty look and said in a low voice: "I was just thinking whether I should call 'present' for you."

Wen Yu grinned: "No need. Meimei has quite a few classes too. I can't accompany her to every single one."

One of the most common ways for college couples to date was to attend large lectures together.

Anyway, there were often hundreds of people in the classroom. The professor couldn't possibly remember all the students' names. Even if they called roll, it didn't matter. Those who weren't called didn't need to worry, and occasionally they could answer for others.

"By the way, did you know? Hu Xia broke up..." Wen Yu looked at Tan Kaixuan and suddenly said.

Zhao Fusheng couldn't help but laugh, his shoulders shaking as he lowered his head.

Tan Kaixuan looked helpless and shot Wen Yu a fierce glare but said nothing.

Wang Zhen had already pulled Wen Yu aside to explain. After a while, Wen Yu looked up, full of surprise, then smiled and pointed at himself innocently: "I meant well."

"If you mean well, just shut up," Tan Kaixuan said irritably.

After the large lecture ended, it was already ten o'clock. There was no class for the second period, so they headed back to the dorm together.

"By the way, help me move some stuff when you get a chance," Zhao Fusheng said after thinking for a moment to Tan Kaixuan and the others.

"Huh?"

"Okay."

"Let's go. Where to?"

Several of them asked curiously.

Zhao Fusheng smiled and without further ado, took them to his villa. Coincidentally, Dong Guoxiang was also there. The five of them quickly moved the large pile of stuff to the house Dong Chenxi had bought.

"Old Zhao, are you really planning to keep running this webpage?" Tan Kaixuan asked Zhao Fusheng curiously on the way back.

He had originally thought Zhao Fusheng might not continue with it.

Zhao Fusheng smiled: "Anyway, there aren't many expenses. The ad revenue brings in a decent amount. Let Dong Guoxiang handle it himself."

He was telling the truth. Maintaining the navigation webpage wasn't difficult, just tedious. Dong Guoxiang was a computer science major, and with two more hires, he could fully ensure the webpage's normal operation. Plus, Zhao Fusheng rented servers that cost over ten thousand a year, so there shouldn't be major issues.

"Well, your webpage, I see more and more people using it," Tan Kaixuan nodded. Occasionally when he went online at internet cafés in Shanghai, he noticed that many cafés had wo123 as their homepage. He hadn't expected Zhao Fusheng's promotion to be so effective.

Zhao Fusheng smiled slightly and blinked, but in his mind, he was thinking whether he should consider changing his promotion strategy.
