Chapter 129: Heading Abroad for the Competition (Part 1/2)

“Tang Feng, why did you suddenly decide to sell these calligraphy works and paintings? Are you in need of money recently?” Lu Tao couldn’t help but ask.

“It’s okay. I’m planning to set up an internet company and a restaurant,” Tang Feng answered truthfully.

“An internet company? What kind?” Lu Tao was quite surprised.

“To promote a chat software. I developed a new chat software a few days ago, to see if it can be successful,” Tang Feng responded.

“There seem to be quite a few chat software options available now. Of course, QQ probably has the most users. If you want to promote your own developed chat software, you’ll inevitably have to compete with Tencent. But Tencent has been developing for several years now, with probably tens of millions of users. Snatching users from their jaws won’t be an easy mission,” Lu Tao reminded him.

“I know,” Tang Feng nodded, “But I’m still very confident in the chat tool I developed. Plus, I’ll try to promote it in the shortest time possible.”

“Is there anything I can help with?” Lu Tao asked with a smile.

“Not for the time being. Once the chat software is launched, you can try it out. If there’s anything you think could be improved, you can call me to give feedback,” Tang Feng answered.

“Of course!” Lu Tao readily agreed.

Afterward, Tang Feng said goodbye and went to the library to look for Su Xiaoli.

“Isn’t that Tang Feng? What has he been busy with recently? It feels like it’s been a long time since I’ve seen him!”

“Maybe he’s run out of talent! After all, he was very prominent for a while. Solving six world-class mathematical problems in a row is unbelievable.”

“There’s nothing that can be done about it. He must be feeling very uncomfortable now, having reached the pinnacle of his life so quickly!” someone sighed.

“It’s mainly because he’s too young. Just entering college and achieving such high accomplishments. If it were me, I probably couldn’t handle it either.”

“But even if he makes no further progress from now on, with the achievements he has now, he can live a worry-free life.”

“That’s true. But if there’s no progress, such a life is terrifying. He’s not even twenty yet, is he going to live a life of idleness?”

“Look at what you’re saying! Didn’t he win the championship at the Seven Stars Cup Go Tournament recently? He’s just not been seen much these days, and you’re here slandering him. Isn’t that a bit too much?”

These comments also reached Tang Feng’s ears.

However, his mood did not fluctuate.

After all, he was somewhat of a celebrity now.

Being discussed is a normal thing for celebrities.

Many stars even use negative news to get people to talk about them.

The only thing he could do was to become even better!

Soon, he found Su Xiaoli.

Su Xiaoli was concentrating on looking up information.

Tang Feng placed a cup of milk tea in front of her.

“Why did you suddenly buy this for me?” Su Xiaoli was somewhat surprised.

“The first cup of milk tea of autumn, you deserve it,” Tang Feng smiled.

Su Xiaoli took a sip, then handed it to Tang Feng.

“What’s wrong? Don’t like it?” Tang Feng asked.

“No,” Su Xiaoli shook her head, “I wanted to share it with you.”

Tang Feng, hearing this, also took a sip.

“How is it? Finished looking up the information?” Tang Feng asked with a smile.

“Almost done,” Su Xiaoli answered.

Tang Feng didn’t say anything and sat down opposite her.

Su Xiaoli hurried to finish looking up the information.

After about half an hour, she finally finished her work.

“What do you want to eat tonight?” Tang Feng asked while helping her tidy up.

“Anything is fine. As long as I can eat with you,” Su Xiaoli answered.

Tang Feng looked at her, said nothing, and the two went to the cafeteria.

After dinner, Tang Feng held Su Xiaoli’s hand and strolled around the campus for a while.

Then they reluctantly parted ways.

Tang Feng returned to the dormitory.

“Boss, when are you going abroad?” Su Ming and others surrounded him as soon as he returned.

“Tomorrow morning,” Tang Feng answered.

“Boss, is there any progress with the new company?” Zhu Zihang asked eagerly.

“Because I’m going abroad for the competition, all affairs of the company will be handled by Xiaoli. If she needs help, she’ll call you,” Tang Feng replied.

“Boss, the chat software you developed really has a lot of features. But…” Zhang Hao paused.

“But what?” Tang Feng immediately became interested.

“But I’m worried competitors will quickly copy it. In that case, the chat software you developed will lose its competitive edge,” Zhang Hao answered.

“Don’t worry! The features I added, even if the competitors want to copy them, will take time. And not to brag, but some features they won’t be able to copy,” Tang Feng was full of confidence.

“But boss, the competitors already have tens of millions of users. Convincing these users to switch to a new chat app might be quite difficult,” Zhu Zihang was somewhat worried.

“That’s why we need to gain more users in the shortest time possible. This requires the cooperation of the entire sales team,” Tang Feng said.

“Boss, don’t worry! We’ll definitely find a way to secure this area for you in Beijing! Not just us, but also our classmates will help,” Su Ming promised earnestly.

“Tell those classmates, I will definitely not let them down. When I return from abroad, I’ll treat everyone to a big meal,” Tang Feng smiled.

“I think the big meal is secondary. If you have time, you could give us a few classes to help improve our mathematics skills. After all, we’re all students of the Mathematics Department, and we’ll rely on this for our future,” Zhu Zihang suggested.

“No problem! Once I’m back, you guys set up a plan, and then I’ll give everyone a few lessons!” Tang Feng agreed readily.

“Long live the boss!” Su Ming and the others cheered.

“It’s late, you guys should go to sleep!” Tang Feng said and went to the bathroom.

After lying down in bed, he didn’t fall asleep immediately.

He opened the system’s control panel.

He had received three missions.

Completing these missions would grant him 86,000 points as a reward.

The thought of obtaining so many points excited Tang Feng.

He even opened the points mall to see what skills and items he wanted to own.

Time passed by second by second.

Eventually, he yawned and fell asleep.

In the morning, after having breakfast with Su Xiaoli, Tang Feng headed to the national basketball team’s training center.
