Since they are reborn, they must be supported by the school beauties.

Chapter 195 There's always a way!
Xiao Suqin suggested going to Jiangcheng, and Lu Zhixing agreed without hesitation.

He casually said, "Things have been going smoothly lately. Part of the payment was settled today. There's nothing urgent that I need to keep an eye on things here these next few days. I can go to Jiangcheng for a visit and see Lao Qin while I'm at it."

"See Lao Qin? Qin Jianshe?"

Xiao Suqin was a little confused and asked, "Why go see him?"

Lu Zhixing chuckled and said, "This guy knows that my problem has been solved, so he called again with feigned concern, saying he would prepare money for me. He's probably afraid that I'll hold a grudge against him."

Xiao Suqin frowned and said unhappily, "If I were you, I would have confronted him directly because he's so dishonest! He makes excuses when I need his help, but then he comes out to be all talk and no action when I don't need him anymore. What's with all the pretense?"

Lu Zhixing waved his hand and said with a smile, "You don't understand people like Lao Qin. If we fall out, he will definitely tell everyone that I, Lu Zhixing, am an ingrate. He did his best to help me, but I didn't expect that I would not appreciate his kindness. So I can't fall out with him, and there is no need to fall out with him."

At this point, Lu Zhixing said meaningfully, "Actually, I really want to see him and see what his expression is when he sees me. I guess he will be very upset, secretly wishing I were dead, but on the surface he can only force a smile and pretend to be polite. Just thinking about it is interesting."

Xiao Suqin shook her head repeatedly and sighed, "What a perverse sense of humor."

Lu Zhixing stretched and chuckled casually, "Haha, you don't understand. That's how it is between men. If the gap is too big, everyone can accept the status quo. If you earn 30,000 to 50,000 a year, and you meet a classmate who earns 300 to 500 million a year, you can still happily drink, chat, and reminisce about the past. You won't feel inferior in front of him, and he won't be arrogant in front of you. But if you earn 300 to 500 million a year and meet someone who earns 500 to 600 million a year, then you'll feel terrible."

Xiao Suqin asked him curiously, "When you say 'you,' are you referring to him or yourself?"

Lu Zhixing spread his hands and laughed, "We're exactly the same."

Xiao Suqin shook her head helplessly: "You're quite honest."

Then, Xiao Suqin asked him, "Shall we go over today? We can leave after dinner, and there's no need to rush on the road. We can drive at a leisurely pace, and when we arrive, we can meet up with Youyou and Xiao Chen for dinner."

Lu Zhixing said, "Tell Youyou first to ask her when Xiao Chen is available to have dinner together today or tomorrow night. Just come whenever he comes."

"it is good."

Xiao Suqin took out her phone and said with a smile, "Then I'll call Youyou."

Lu Zhixing asked, "Then is it still called seeing far?"

Xiao Suqin waved her hand and blurted out without thinking, "Don't let him know at all!"

Lu Zhixing nodded in agreement at lightning speed: "Okay!"

Xiao Suqin called Lu Youyou, who was reading in her dormitory during her lunch break.

Medical students have a heavy workload, which is much more demanding than that of ordinary students.

When she received a call from her mother, Lu Youyou asked in a coquettish tone, "Mom, do you miss me?"

Xiao Suqin smiled and said, "I miss you. I was just discussing with your dad about going to Jiangcheng to see you in the next two days."

"real?!"

Lu Youyou was overjoyed and quickly asked her, "When exactly are you coming?"

Xiao Suqin said, "Call Chen Cheng first and ask when he's free today or tomorrow. Your dad wants to invite him to dinner. If he's free today, we'll leave after we finish eating. If he's free tomorrow, then we'll go there tomorrow."

Lu Youyou muttered deliberately, "So you weren't here to see me after all..."

Xiao Suqin smiled and said, "Of course I'm here to see you. I'll also invite Chen Cheng out for a meal. The power plant has paid back the money, and your dad has already transferred it to Yuanteng. He wants to find an opportunity to thank Chen Cheng in person again and also talk to him about that one million."

Lu Youyou breathed a sigh of relief. After Chen Cheng helped her father solve the coal supply problem, she had been waiting for him to make up for the debts. Now that the power plant had finally started making payments, it was definitely a good sign, and things might return to normal in the future.

So she quickly said, "Then I'll call Chen Cheng in a bit and confirm the time with him."

"Row."

Lu Youyou called Chen Cheng and told him about the power plant's payment and her parents' plan to come to Jiangcheng to treat him to a meal.

Chen Cheng knew that the couple definitely wanted to come to Jiangcheng to thank him, but he felt that it was unnecessary to go to such lengths. He originally wanted Lu Youyou to persuade them, but in his memory, Xiao Suqin's style of doing things was more direct and straightforward, and she was not the type to be persuaded in a few words. So he readily said, "Tell your uncle and aunt that I am fine for the next two days, depending on their convenience."

Lu Youyou quickly relayed the information to her parents, and Xiao Suqin immediately made the decision, saying to Lu Zhixing, "Let's set off after lunch, we should arrive around four o'clock."

Lu Zhixing said, "Why go so early? The kids don't get out of class until 5:30. By the time they get ready, it'll be at least 6 o'clock."

Xiao Suqin said, "Didn't you want to see Lao Qin? Let's go see him first when we get here. You two can exchange a few pleasantries, and after the kids are almost done with their classes, we'll go to Huazhong University of Science and Technology to pick up Youyou, and then go to Jiangnan University to pick up Chen Cheng." Lu Zhixing nodded, "Okay, let's set off after we finish eating. I'll call Lao Qin on the way to let him know."

In the afternoon, the merchant backend and membership functions of the campus network were all completed.

The development team began to shift their focus to the campus showcase.

When he took out the basic materials that Su Zishan had designed for the campus show, the team of tech geeks didn't find it particularly fun. Instead, they all realized a problem that was driving them crazy.

This thing must consume a lot of bandwidth!
First, Chen Cheng requested that the campus showcase be displayed below the personal profile picture and information on the personal page.

On a 17-inch screen in full-screen mode, the display frame of the Campus Show is about the size of a vertically oriented bank card, which is quite large.

The higher the percentage, the larger the image; the larger the image, the higher the bandwidth usage.

The key point is that Chen Cheng also made a clear request that even if this person has never purchased any campus shows, he should still be shown a system default, most basic cartoon character here.

That means that every user will have their own campus profile in the future, so when they open their own or other users' personal homepages, they will inevitably have to load data of a cartoon character.

Moreover, Chen Cheng also had requirements regarding the resolution of the cartoon characters; the pixel count could not be reduced, thus affecting the display effect.

Therefore, each user needs to load at least one campus show, which already consumes a lot of bandwidth.

If it were just this, it would be fine, because the user's loading of materials is cached. After logging in today, as long as they don't switch computers or temporarily clear the browser cache, their personal Renren Show only needs to be downloaded from the server once. After that, no matter how many times they refresh, it will directly retrieve the local cache, reducing the server load.

However, Chen Cheng's demands did not stop there.

He even wanted everyone to develop a web-based online store. Once the online store was opened, the entire page would load various cartoon elements, with three rows per page and five products per row.

This means that a single page needs to load fifteen images.

Moreover, Chen Cheng also told everyone that there were at least several hundred kinds of products.

Once a user starts browsing, they certainly won't just load one page of data; they will flip through the pages after viewing the current one.

Then, turning the page revealed fifteen more...

This is equivalent to doubling the user's bandwidth requirements all at once.

Xiao Peng, who was in charge of the product, felt extremely overwhelmed and said with great worry, "President Chen, once this feature goes live, our bandwidth requirements will probably increase several times over..."

Chen Cheng laughed and said, "It won't be several times more. Let's think of a way. There are always more solutions than problems!"

Chen Wei, the person in charge of development, said awkwardly, "Mr. Chen, what can we do? You've already provided users with so much content to browse. Every time they request something, our server has to respond, which means we have to use bandwidth to transmit data! Especially with this online store, if it really has hundreds of products and hundreds of thousands of people are browsing it at the same time, even if we temporarily upgrade our bandwidth tenfold, it still won't be enough..."

Chen Cheng laughed and said, "That's why we have to find a way. Your technical skills are all better than mine. Let me ask you, what's the difference between the mall's data and other data?"

Everyone looked at each other, no one understanding why Chen Cheng asked that question.

Data is data. What difference can there be during the transmission process?
Seeing that no one could give a clear answer, Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Look, on the entire Renren website, most of the page data is different. Everyone's photo album is the part that takes up the most traffic, but everyone's photo album is different. But the store is different. The store is a template provided by our official team. No matter who opens the store, when the first page of the store is opened, everyone requests the exact same data, right?"

Everyone nodded, but their faces were still full of doubt.

So what if they're the same?

Does that mean it won't use up bandwidth?
If a million people visit the same page, wouldn't you have to send the same data to each of them a million times? Wouldn't that consume a million times the bandwidth of the page itself?

Seeing that they still didn't understand, Chen Cheng thought to himself, "Is the internet really that innocent these days? Can't they even figure out such a simple trick?"

So he simply cut to the chase, saying, "Suppose a million people visit our online store page, there will inevitably be a sequence. If user A is the first to visit, then our server will transmit the data from the online store page to him first. After the transmission is complete, this data becomes A's cached local data, right?"

Everyone continued to nod.

Everyone can understand this basic logic.

Then Chen Cheng continued, "What if, when user B accesses this online store page, our server rejects his access, but not directly; instead, it rejects it in the background. Then, with lightning speed, user A's computer uses A's bandwidth to directly transmit the data from the online store page to B? What would be the result?"

Everyone gasped in shock, their eyes widening as they exclaimed, "Holy crap!"
