Rebirth: Starting with Capturing the Goddess Mentor

Chapter 21 Forming a Team
After taking a shower, Chen Yan climbed into his dorm room bed and turned on his phone, only to see this suggestive picture.

I rub!

What do you want to do?
Which cadre can't withstand this test!

So, Chen Yan, with a critical attitude, clicked on the photo, and then slowly expanded two fingers outwards...

Finally, after the image was magnified five times, the meticulous Chen Yan found the flaw and then began typing:
"Sister Shishi, you're not wearing a bra."

After taking a shower, Liu Shishi saw this reply, muttered "pervert" to herself, and then replied with a "hammer hitting on the head" emoji.

Chen Yan replied quickly this time: "kkt".

Liu Shishi: "What does kkt mean?"

In 13, many of the internet slang terms that would later become popular were not yet in use, so Chen Yan didn't explain them in much detail. He simply said that he would explain them to Chen Yan in person when they met next time.

After ending his conversation with Liu Shishi, Chen Yan, who was about to go to sleep, received a WeChat message from a woman.

Jiang Yue Zhao Zhixin: Have you arrived at the dormitory yet?
Chen Yingjun: We've arrived.

Jiang Yue Zhao Zhixin: That's good.

Chen Yingjun: Is Teacher Jiang concerned about me?
Jiang Yue Zhao Zhixin: Can't I care about my students?
Chen Yingjun: To students kknz
Jiang Yue Zhao Zhi Xin: ? ?
Chen Yingjun: Nothing, I'm going to sleep, goodnight.

Jiang Yue Zhao Zhixin: Oh, goodnight~
After saying goodnight, Chen Yan quickly fell asleep, while Jiang Zhixin tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

The scene of kissing in the car just now kept playing in her mind like a movie.

Her lips seemed to still hold Chen Yan's warmth and scent, a scent like countless fine needles gently pricking her senses, causing ripples to spread across the lake of her heart.
……

Three more days passed, and the new company's business license was issued.

Chen Yan named his new company Hangzhou Daily Technology Co., Ltd.

Chen Yan took out his USB key, inserted it into his computer, and opened the company account, where 200 million RMB was deposited.

With the money in hand, the next step is to assemble a technical team to write software code and strive to launch "Daily Part-Time Jobs" in the shortest possible time.

Chen Yan does not plan to recruit from the school's School of Information Science and Technology. Firstly, the students themselves have classes and cannot devote themselves fully to the work.

Secondly, he prioritizes efficiency and quality, so he directly hires experienced engineers, which allows the software to be deployed much faster.

Ever since.

He opened 68.com and Ganji.com. At that time, Boszhipin had not yet been developed, and recruitment websites were basically dominated by 68.com and Ganji.com.

Chen Yan offered a monthly salary of 2 yuan, which was definitely a high salary in 13, but he was unwilling to spend money and therefore could not retain talent.

That shows some insightful perspective.

The [Daily Part-Time Job] app version 1.0 doesn't have many complex features, so hiring 4 programmers is enough.

That evening, Chen Yan received more than a dozen resumes, but only two met his requirements: they had experience working in large companies and had been deeply involved in development work.

The first one is Kong Zhenbang. He graduated from a top engineering college in China and worked at NetEase for many years, participating in the research and development of several large-scale projects. Later, he left NetEase to start his own business, but unexpectedly, his business failed and he returned to the job search.

Another person, Ruan Shaohua, is a young man with only two years of work experience, but he is very thoughtful and creative. He independently developed several small applications during his university years.

However, even if a resume looks impressive, you can only find out if someone has solid fundamental skills through actual testing.

Chen Yan himself naturally didn't understand the technology, so he planned to "call for help".

So he took out his phone to ask Jiang Zhixin for help. It was kind of funny, but besides his three roommates, she was the only person he was really close to at the school…

Chen Yingjun: Teacher Jiang, I have to interview two programmers tomorrow, but I don't know anything about programming. Could you recommend a programming teacher to help me with the selection?

Jiang Zhixin was probably bored in the office again, so she replied immediately: I'm not familiar with the teachers in the School of Information Science, I'll ask my colleague to ask for you.

Chen Yingjun: Thank you, Teacher Jiang. Let's sleep together another day.

Jiang Yue Zhao Zhixin: ?

Chen Yingjun: Sorry for the wrong number. Let's have dinner together another day.

Jiang Yue Zhao Zhixin: You bastard, don't think I don't know you're doing this on purpose! (Knocks)
Women are strange creatures; they may curse, but they act very quickly.

About 40 minutes later, Jiang Zhixin sent a message saying that a teacher from the School of Information Science was willing to help, and then created a group chat for Chen Yan to connect with the teacher.

The person willing to help was Liang Shaohui, a young professor in the School of Information Science and Technology and a doctoral student at Fudan University.

Messages began to circulate in the three-person group chat.

Jiang Zhixin: Professor Liang, this is Chen Yan, a student in our class. He is starting his own business on campus and wants to hire a few programmers. He will be interviewing them tomorrow, and we hope you can help with the technical aspects.

Liang Shaohui: As long as they are Teacher Jiang's students, I will do my best to help them.

Jiang Zhixin: Thank you.

Liang Shaohui: You're welcome, Professor Jiang. If you have time, I'd like to invite you to dinner tonight. I happen to have some work-related matters I'd like to discuss with you.

Damn, another simp.

You're a professor from the School of Information Science and Technology and a counselor from the School of Economics and Management—you have absolutely no connection. What kind of work could you possibly have to talk about?

Jiang Zhixin: Teacher Liang, I have plans with someone else tonight, sorry.

Liang Shaohui: Okay then, you can do it next time too.

Chen Yan interjected at the opportune moment: "Ahem, Professor Liang, they will be conducting interviews tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. They hope you can prepare a few highly specialized questions to test them."

Liang Shaohui: Chen, don't worry. As a teacher of this school, it's only right that I help you start your business while you're still a student of Teacher Jiang.

Ha ha.

Simps never end well.

But since you helped me, I'll give you some face.

So Chen Yan politely replied: Thank you, Professor Liang!

After leaving the group chat, Chen Yan opened his private chat with Jiang Zhixin:
[Professor Jiang, does Professor Liang have a crush on you?]

Jiang Zhixin: [How would I know? Besides, isn't it normal to say you like me?] Okay, okay.

I'm talking to you seriously, are you trying to show off?

Alright, I'll let you win this round.

In another month, I will make the legend of me, Chen, spread throughout this entire university town!
……

The following morning at 9:40.

When Chen Yan arrived at the 102 Entrepreneurship Base, he found that everyone had already arrived.

Besides Zhu Lijuan and Huang Shanshan, who were handling customer service work inside, there were three strange men sitting together chatting.

Two of them were dressed casually, in Uniqlo and Jeanswest, typical tech guy outfits.

These two should be Kong Zhenbang and Ruan Shaohua.

The other person was wearing a simple dark suit and looked to be in his early thirties. He also spoke in a refined, gentle, and easygoing manner.

This must be Professor Liang.

Arriving so early to be an interviewer? What a natural-born sycophant!
"Hello Professor Liang, I am Chen Yan." Chen Yan greeted Liang Shaohui politely while nodding to the two interviewees.

"Chen Yan, right? I just talked to these two young men, and they are both very outstanding young people," Liang Shaohui nodded slightly.

"Now that everyone's here, let's get started," Chen Yan suggested.

"Okay, I'm fine."

"I'm ready too."

Both interviewers were full of confidence.

Next, Liang Shaohui posed a series of technical challenges to test them. Fortunately, both of them remained calm and confident during the interview, not only answering Liang Shaohui's questions smoothly but also offering their own insights and suggestions, demonstrating their profound technical skills and rich project experience.

of course.

Both of them successfully passed the interview and became the fourth and fifth employees of Daily Tech.

If they don't resign, several years later, the social status represented by those two employee badges alone will be extraordinary.

Daily Tech will be hiring two more programmers, but Professor Liang's help will no longer be needed; Kong Zhenbang and Ruan Shaohua will be in charge of the selection.

At the entrance of the 102 Entrepreneurship Base.

Chen Yan took out a 1,000 yuan red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Professor Liang:
"Professor Liang, thank you for your hard work. This is the consulting fee for 'Daily Technology'. It's not much, please don't mind."

Seeing Chen Yan's actions, Liang Shaohui's eyes showed more appreciation, but he still declined verbally:

"Chen, what are you doing? You're a science and engineering student, helping you is only natural, especially since you're a student in Professor Jiang's class. Take it back right now."

Chen Yan had anticipated his refusal, so he said:

“Professor Liang, you’re not just helping me. Besides me, there are other partners at ‘Daily Technology.’ This is their decision.”

Liang Shaohui naturally knew that this was a polite way of putting it, intended to give himself a "reasonable" way of accepting the red envelope.

So he didn't stand on ceremony: "Since it's the partner's idea, I'll accept it for now. If 'Daily Technology' needs my help in the future, you can come to me anytime."

"Yes, thank you, Professor Liang."

Chen Yan replied politely.

After Liang Shaohui left, Chen Yan called Kong Zhenbang and Ruan Shaohua together for a meeting.

The meeting mainly covered two points.

First: Recruit the remaining two programmers as soon as possible.

Second: The framework and functionality of the 【Daily Part-Time Jobs】app.

……

"In addition, a display area should be reserved at the top of the homepage of the daily part-time job app. In the early stages, this display area will be the entrance to some activities, such as the 'Campus Beauty Contest', and in the later stages, it will be a paid advertising space."

"That's about it. Do you have any other questions?"

After listening to Chen Yan's explanation, Kong Zhenbang quickly said:
"Mr. Chen, it seems that the function of this app is actually very simple. It is just a software that enables merchants and part-time workers to communicate via instant messaging. We only need to find a UI designer, and the three of us can do it."

Chen Yan thought for a moment: "I need to speed things up. Ideally, it should be finished in half a month. Let's hire two more programmers, and also a graphic designer as you suggested."

"Kong Zhenbang, you're in charge of this project, is that alright?"

"No problem, Mr. Chen, don't worry. If we go all out to catch up, we can conduct preliminary testing in half a month."

Kong Zhenbang patted his chest and assured him.

Chen Yan stepped forward and placed his hands on Kong Zhenbang and Ruan Shaohua's shoulders respectively.

His gaze swept firmly over them, and he raised his voice slightly, his tone carrying an undeniable certainty and confidence:

"Work hard. As you all know, our company has already received 200 million in angel investment, and the next Series A round will be at least tens of millions."

At that time, the company will expand rapidly and become a leader in the industry. Each of you will be a veteran and a contributor. Promotions and salary increases will be yours, and luxury cars and villas will be no problem.

"When Daily Tech goes public, let's ring the bell together on Nasdaq!"

After this pep talk, Kong Zhenbang and Ruan Shaohua felt as if a fire had been ignited in their hearts, and their blood began to boil.

Kong Zhenbang, in particular, had previously failed in his business ventures, and now he has an even stronger obsession with entrepreneurship.

But the thought of ringing the bell on Nasdaq as a company veteran filled me with excitement. I clenched my fists and secretly vowed to work hard.

A few more days passed, and Kong Zhenbang recruited two more experienced programmers (Liu Hanfei and Hu Chao) and a graphic designer (Gong Xiaofan).

With this, the startup technology team of Daily Tech was officially established.
