Before Tianxia Net went online:

Meng Suihuan specifically had Lu Linshen and the others double-check everything again. Once they were sure everything was in order, she began preparing for the launch. Qin Yu was extremely excited; he had been waiting for this website for a long time and was eager to use this project to prove others wrong. He originally thought that after the content was reviewed, their website would be online. However, it turned out he was overly optimistic.

Rather than rushing to launch, Meng Suihuan collaborated with various advertising companies to create a tailor-made advertisement for Tianxia Net. She personally oversaw the ad copy and chose a catchy, easy-to-understand slogan. Additionally, she continued her previous strategy by distributing flyers on street corners and generating a frenzy of hype. Soon, everyone in town knew about it.

These were small tricks that other websites could easily replicate, leading to short-lived results. Unfortunately, this was not what she wanted. So, she needed more leverage than others to make the website truly valuable.

Zhou Fan naturally got wind of the news but dismissed it with a sneer. After all, they had already developed a website a year ago and even had a loyal user base. Even though Lu Linshen was boasting endlessly, he merely watched from the sidelines.

What Zhou Fan didn’t expect was that when this news became widespread, Shen Jin called a meeting and instructed them to temporarily put their projects on hold and focus entirely on upgrading their own site, Quanli Net. While Zhou Fan didn’t say anything in the meeting, he inwardly grumbled. Brother Shen really takes Lu Linshen too seriously. I’m curious to see what new tricks he can pull off!

However, after half a month, there was still no movement from their side. Meanwhile, their website had undergone two upgrades and reached a whole new level. Even their investors praised it endlessly. The rest of the team was excited beyond measure, but Shen Jin remained tense, inexplicably irritable and anxious. He took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed his emotions before turning to Zhou Fan with a serious expression.

“Go check with Qin Yu. See if you can gather any information.”

Zhou Fan, feeling confident after the site’s upgrade, was momentarily taken aback by Shen Jin’s request, as if a cold bucket of water had been poured over him. But he didn’t dare express his true thoughts. Instead, he just nodded and reluctantly replied, “Got it.”

In the blink of an eye:

A month passed, and Tianxia Net still hadn’t launched. However, the advertisements hadn’t stopped either. No one knew what they were up to. Just when everyone was confused, Tianxia Net suddenly appeared and quickly swept across the country. It brought the most cutting-edge news: a foreign power had bombed China’s embassy, along with the casualties resulting from the incident.

Under normal circumstances, such news would be reported about half a day later. But this time, things were different. Before the news outlets even published the information, Tianxia Net had already teamed up with CCTV to broadcast it in advance. They even displayed the related information in a streaming format, concluding with their own advertisement:

— Tianxia Net.
— Know everything under the sky without leaving your house.

If we were to just look at this advertisement, it might not seem especially impactful. But Tianxia Net let the facts speak for themselves, following up with detailed domestic reports. At that moment, everyone was silenced! Within no time, whether people were paying attention or not, they had all heard the name Tianxia Net. Driven by curiosity, they opened the site and found that it not only allowed browsing of the news but also had discussion and chat features. More importantly, the site ran very fast, had complete categories, and was easy to use! These new features quickly attracted the first wave of curious visitors, who then spread the word.

In an instant, the site’s traffic reached over ten million! Since the site’s launch, Qin Yu and the others had been closely following the data. They were already excited when the number surpassed one million, but over the next few hours, they experienced several waves of shock, one after another. Eventually, they became calmer.

“Lao Lu,” Qin Yu said. “Meng Jie really nailed it this time! We’ve made a name for ourselves in the industry, haven’t we?”

Listening to Qin Yu, Lu Linshen, rarely pulled himself away from his thoughts. His dark, deep eyes were filled with light. His usually indifferent voice carried a hint of joy. “Mm.”

“And Meng Jie’s marketing strategy is amazing! Look how fast our site surpassed Shen Jin’s site! When Shen Jin’s site launched, it took half a month just to reach a million visitors. And now, we’ve already outdone them, and this happened in just one day! Incredible!”

Lu Linshen felt the same way. Looking at the entire history of internet development, Meng Suihuan’s marketing was undoubtedly the most advanced and successful. At this moment, he truly understood what his older sister, Lu Xiuhe, had meant when she said to believe in her. He now had faith in her ability to bring unexpected results. It was like how he was first moved by Meng Suihuan’s words when choosing Xuyu, and now, he was genuinely convinced by her personal charm and abilities. He even started to look forward to what kind of surprises she would bring next.

Unfortunately, Lu Linshen only saw this as admiration and pride. He didn’t think too deeply into it. By the time he realized it, he had already fallen deep into this admiration.

On the other side, Shen Jin and his team were also paying close attention to Tianxia Net’s developments. However, by the time they noticed, Tianxia Net had already gained momentum and was surging ahead. Shen Jin wasn’t sure what emotions drove him to open the website, but when he finally saw the site’s content, his fingers involuntarily trembled. Whether it was the website’s speed, the details, or how Tianxia Net had linked up with the news, it completely overshadowed his own site. The excitement and pride from their recent upgrades now seemed like a joke.

Especially Zhou Fan, who couldn’t believe that Lu Linshen’s team had made this website.

“How is this possible?!”

“This can’t be theirs!”

Soon, he found a breakthrough. “Their boss must have acquired another company. This site must be a product from that company,” he muttered, as if trying to convince himself.

“That’s enough!” Shen Jin interrupted him without hesitation. This time, Zhou Fan saw it clearly—his idol, Shen Jin, had an expression as dark as charcoal, and his eyes were filled with an unprecedented madness and jealousy.

After this battle,
Lu Linshen and the others had firmly established themselves in the internet industry, becoming a topic of conversation for many. As time passed, many people looked back on the situation with regret. Especially those who had initially been approached to cooperate, but had rejected the offer out of fear. If they hadn’t turned it down, wouldn’t their company have achieved all of this success? Unfortunately, regret was futile, as it couldn’t change anything.

The internet was a burgeoning industry, and the government was providing strong support. After seeing Tianxia Net’s success, they naturally became interested and threw out an olive branch, hoping to cooperate. Meng Suihuan didn’t agree blindly, but instead organized the relevant information and handed it over to Lu Linshen.

Looking at the thick pile of documents in front of him, Lu Linshen still couldn’t believe it. “Take a look. These are the companies interested in collaborating with us. If you’re interested in any, feel free to mark them.”

Of course, Lu Linshen had played a crucial role in Tianxia Net’s success, and he owed much of the company’s massive benefits to Meng Suihuan. Her attitude had become much warmer than before. After all, a long-term investment was needed to reel in big fish.

Lu Linshen picked up the document and glanced through it. Many of the companies were familiar to him, as they had been potential partners he had originally considered. He flipped through the pages quickly, then carefully placed the document back on Meng Suihuan’s desk. “You handle this, I trust you.”

Meng Suihuan raised an eyebrow, her sparkling eyes twinkling with amusement. “You trust me that much? Aren’t you afraid I’ll sell you out?”

She had meant it as a joke, but Lu Linshen replied seriously, “You won’t.” Before she could respond, he added, “After all, we’re in this together.”

Meng Suihuan was taken aback. She felt as though he had somehow caught her off guard. She looked up at him, and saw his deep, emotionless eyes. It was hard to tell if he had answered casually or if he had really seen through her thoughts. But even if he had seen through her, so what? They had already signed the contract, and he couldn’t back out now, could he?

“Alright, I’ll handle it. By the way, how’s the chip research going on your end?” Lately, she had been busy with investments and Tianxia Net, only occasionally checking in on the chip project. After all, she knew that it wasn’t something that could be completed in a day. It would likely take at least one or two years to research properly.

“The original chip has already been disassembled, and we’re starting to make some progress,” Lu Linshen replied.

This time, it was Meng Suihuan’s turn to be shocked. After all, Lu Linshen’s speed was almost inhuman. How long had it been? And he had already disassembled the chip?! No wonder he was considered a walking money-making machine! His execution was something that ordinary people couldn’t match.

However, Lu Linshen felt a bit uncomfortable. Her gaze was too intense, and she didn’t even try to hide it. He suddenly felt that his blood seemed to slow down, and his muscles became tense. He tried to avoid her gaze, but his legs refused to obey. He could only stand there awkwardly, letting her observe him.

At first, Meng Suihuan was simply admiring him, but soon, she found herself completely lost in his stunning looks. Honestly, she still hadn’t seen anyone in this world more handsome than him. No wonder the author had spent so many words describing his face.

“He’s really handsome,” she muttered, thinking it was just a casual remark. But as soon as the words left her mouth, she suddenly became flustered. Yet, when she saw his deep eyes and the faint hint of disbelief in them, her emotions calmed down. She then thought to herself: Did her emotions just waver? Perhaps Lu Linshen’s emotions had fluctuated even more!

Quickly, she accessed the system to check the data. As expected, there was a noticeable fluctuation in the data. Meng Suihuan grinned with excitement. She gave him a sly smile, like a cunning little fox.

“What I meant was—”

“You’re really handsome.”

Noticing that his reaction wasn’t very strong, she quickly added, “You’re the most handsome person I’ve seen in this world!”

The next moment, she witnessed his earlobes turning bright red—so red it looked like it could bleed!

Meng Suihuan was ecstatic! She quickly checked the backend data and saw that he had contributed 3% to her life force!

Her eyes sparkled with excitement, and she looked at him with even more intensity. She hadn’t expected this accidental moment to open up a new way to earn life force! She was ecstatic—she was profiting big time!
