Rebirth of the King of Waves

Chapter 169 Like a Liar
"Wang Rui, call Zhang Huyu and come to my office with me." Huang Daoxian made a phone call, and in less than ten minutes, two young men in their mid-twenties appeared in the office.

A tall, thin man named Wang Rui entered the room and excitedly asked, "Teacher, what's the matter?"

Huang Daoxian casually introduced, "Well, this is President Ning. President Ning has an internet-based weight loss and fitness project and wants to collaborate with us. As for you and Zhang Huyu, you've already passed your preliminary thesis defense, so you'll have some free time for the next two months."

"I'm entrusting this project to you all. Follow up on it. I hope you will do your utmost to meet Mr. Ning's product requirements and do your best to achieve the best results. Ideally, you could join Mr. Ning's company directly after graduation and be responsible for him from start to finish."

Huang Daoxian spoke casually, with a hint of joking in his tone.

Wang Rui and Zhang Huyu exchanged a glance, then looked at Ning Bishu with a hint of curiosity.

Ning Bishu smiled and asked, "Are you graduating?"

"Yes, I'm a third-year graduate student. I'll graduate this semester," Zhang Huyu answered earnestly. He was a bit shorter than Wang Rui, but he looked stocky and had an honest, unassuming appearance.

Ning Bishu nodded and then asked Wang Rui, "Are you also a third-year graduate student?"

“Yes,” Wang Rui said with a generous smile, “but I plan to continue my doctoral studies. Once your project is finished, I probably won’t be able to help with the subsequent maintenance.”

Huang Daoxian said directly, "Let's make it first and then talk about it."

"Okay." Wang Rui nodded and asked Ning Bishu directly, "President Ning, for the project you're working on, do you have any planning documents or anything like that? Can I take a look at them first? I'll get a general idea of ​​what to do, and we can start today."

"That's amazing. I didn't bring the planning document today..." Ning Bishu stopped carrying a backpack after returning to X State. "But I can give you a general idea. Our teacher Huang said it's not too difficult."

Then he briefly explained Bishu Health's ideas to Wang Rui and Zhang Huyu.

"...The main goal is to let users see their weight loss progress every day, while also highlighting the refund process. For users who are currently losing weight, we want them to see their results and, in relation to their payment, to feel that every penny they spend is worthwhile."

Even after they successfully achieve or exceed this weight loss goal, we want them to see that they originally spent 1000 yuan to lose only 10 pounds, but now, they've spent 1000 yuan and lost 11 pounds, which is equivalent to getting a discount of 100 yuan per pound from the organization. We hope they will continue their efforts.

At the same time, the app also congratulates users who have spent money but are unwilling to exercise and whose weight has not changed. Although you have not lost a single pound, you don't need to be sad. At least if you don't lose a single pound, you will get a full refund. The app will also show them the refund countdown, accurate to the second.

Each user needs to measure their weight daily at a store or using our dedicated connected scale. Weight loss progress is updated daily, and rankings are created daily.

The rankings are divided into two parts: one is based on my own ranking and my friends' ranking. The other is based on rankings from the national level down to the provincial level, and then down to the township/street level. My friends' ranking is updated daily after 2 AM. The other regional rankings are updated weekly, with the final list determined at 5 AM on Monday.

"Hmm?" Wang Rui stroked his chin and couldn't help but chuckle, "A weight loss ranking, like King of Glory?"

Ning Bishu smiled and said, "Yes, let's do it this way."

Zhang Huyu said, "Now that you put it that way, it feels a bit more like we're involved."

“Yeah,” Wang Rui continued, “It combines weight loss with socializing, and then there’s this gimmick of a full refund if you fail to lose weight, it’s actually quite interesting…”

Ning Bishu said, "We also need to emphasize value for money, ensuring that the money isn't wasted. In addition, we need to build a supporting online store, firstly to sell dedicated weighing scales, secondly to sell other fitness equipment, and thirdly to sell related sportswear and gear."

Wang Rui said, "And there are also things like water bottles, slimming massagers, and souvenirs, right?"

Ning Bishu said, "We can take our time with these things. We can have what we need, but that's not the point. The point is to attract customers first."

Wang Rui nodded and said, "This project seems to have some potential..." Ning Bishu asked, "How long will it take you to produce a product?"

"It should only take a few days," Wang Rui said.

Ning Bishu asked, "How many days exactly?"

Zhang Huyu suddenly said, "At the latest, it will take two days; if all goes well, we can get it out tonight."

Ning Bishu was taken aback. "So fast?"

Zhang Huyu said, "I've already gone through it in my mind. Many modules of your project have open-source code available online. Just copy and paste them, change the shell, and you can use them."

Other parts don't need to be written manually; with AI now, DeepSeek can handle it. The exterior design can also be done directly with AI, saving us the need for a graphic designer. If we work quickly, we should be able to deliver by tonight.

Ning Bishu was stunned.

Is technology really this outrageous these days?
"Good, it would be best if it could be ready tonight!" Ning Bishu laughed. "If it can satisfy me, everyone will be rewarded with ten thousand."

"Really?" Wang Rui's eyes lit up, and he quickly turned to Huang Daoxian to ask, "Teacher, can I take it?"

Huang Daoxian laughed and said, "Just take it. We agreed to hand it over tonight, so there can't be any delays."

"No, no! I'll start right now!" Wang Rui exclaimed impatiently. "Brother Tiger, let's go!"

Zhao Hu, who was sitting next to Ning Bishu, almost stood up subconsciously.

Zhang Huyu, however, remained unhurried and asked Ning Bishu, "President Ning, once this project is completed, will you continue to entrust me with the maintenance? If I were to join your company after graduation, what position could I possibly hold?"

"That goes without saying, of course it's the Chief Technology Officer! The CTO!"

Ning Bishu said, "You're the one who wrote all the product code; you hold the lifeline of the entire company in your hands. If you don't become the director, who will?" Turning to Huang Daoxian, he said, "Uncle, you should be the chairman of the technical committee. Who…?"

“Zhang Huyu,” Zhang Huyu said.

"Oh yes."

Ning Bishu said, "Zhang Huyu will serve as the Vice Chairman and CTO of the Bishu Sports Technical Committee. His annual salary... will be 120,000 for now, with a raise every six months if everything goes smoothly. In addition, there will be seven types of insurance and two types of housing funds, totaling 13 months' salary per year. Uncle, is this suitable?"

Huang Daoxian laughed and said, "What's inappropriate about this? You've solved another one of our school's graduation and employment problems."

Ning Bishu said, "It's not just one. When we're short-staffed in a few days, I'll come directly to you and ask for people. They don't have to be top-notch graduate students; senior undergraduates doing internships will do. I'll pay them internship salaries and crush those stingy competitors."

Zhang Huyu and Wang Rui looked surprised.

Judging from Ning Bishu's nonchalant attitude in making empty promises, if he didn't call Huang Daoxian "uncle," he would look like a complete fraud.

But then again.

Who says a university professor's relative can't be a fraudster?
