Reborn in 2006, it's incredibly awesome!

After leaving the restaurant, Lin Feng led Wang Hu and Wang Lei straight to Feng Huo Technology.

As soon as the three stepped out of the elevator and the glass doors opened, Sun Ya, Bai Lu, and Hua Hua, the receptionists, stood up in unison, bowed, and greeted him in clear, uniform voices: "Good afternoon, Chairman Lin."

Lin Feng nodded slightly, and without stopping, walked straight towards the office area.

Wang Lei followed at the very back, his eyes wide with astonishment.

The three receptionists were all wearing fitted white shirts with black pencil skirts, their professional attire highlighting their curvaceous figures, each one more eye-catching than the last.

He nudged Wang Hu next to him with his elbow and clicked his tongue in a low voice, "Brother Hu, Brother Hu, look at these three girls, they're so hot... I think I'm in love."

Wang Hu glared at him and retorted without any politeness, "Get the hell out of here! Take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Do you think you can even dream about this kind of high-class stuff? And let me tell you, based on what I know about your Brother Feng, he's already taken all three of them. Stop daydreaming."

The two huddled together and whispered to each other. Their voices weren't loud, but Lin Feng in front of them could still hear them clearly.

Without turning his head, he said coldly, "You two have some manners! This is a legitimate company, not some internet cafe back home. Stop spouting nonsense."

"Okay, okay, Brother Feng." The two immediately shrank their necks and responded with grins.

Further inside, there is a spacious open-plan office area.

The space, spanning over 400 square meters, was packed with workstations. Employees were engrossed in typing and answering phones, the sounds of keyboards and whispers mingling together, creating a busy yet professional atmosphere.

Wang Hu and Wang Lei were dumbfounded. The biggest "company" they had ever seen in their lives was the Galaxy Entertainment City in Huanan, but it was all about playing games, noisy and smoky, a completely different concept from this big workplace.

Wang Hu quickly caught up with Lin Feng and exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Feng, your company has such a big setup! How many people are there? It looks really impressive."

Lin Feng laughed and said, "The company now has more than 200 people. We just rented a branch office downstairs a few days ago. The staff has expanded too quickly recently, and there's no room upstairs, so the customer service department and the marketing department have moved downstairs."

Wang Hu and Wang Lei exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes. Lin Feng had only been in Beijing for a little over six months, and he'd already built such a huge business empire—was this guy a god?

Ignoring their shock, Lin Feng led them straight into the separate finance office.

Huo Shanshan was sitting at her desk, staring intently at the reports. Hearing footsteps, she looked up and saw Lin Feng and the others. Her tense expression instantly softened, and she smiled as she stood up, saying:

"My husband's here! Tiger, Xiao Lei, it's been so long!"

Wang Hu said in a booming voice, "Sister Shan! Long time no see! You've become more and more capable! You're now the head manager of our company, the pillar of strength, you're amazing!"

Huo Shanshan smiled and shook her head, reaching up to tuck a stray hair behind her ear. "What 'pillar of stability'? I'm just an accountant, dealing with numbers every day."

Wang Lei started flattering her, his sweet words like honey: "The person in charge of the accounts is the key! This is the role of the Queen Mother of the West; the entire company's purse strings are in your hands."

Huo Shanshan laughed, pointing at him with her finger: "You're so good with words."

She turned her gaze to Lin Feng, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Speak, you don't come here without a reason. What are you up to this time?"

Lin Feng grinned and leaned closer: "Hehehe... I need you to get approval for the batch of company vehicles we bought a few days ago. Let Tiger drive away in an Audi A6. It's inconvenient for him without a car."

"I knew you wouldn't come looking for me if there was nothing wrong." Huo Shanshan rolled her eyes at him, but didn't hesitate. She opened a drawer, took out a requisition form, quickly signed her name, and handed it to Wang Hu.

"Just fill out the requisition information and sign it. Remember, never drink and drive. If you get a scratch or scrape, go directly to your insurance company. The policy is in the car; it's full coverage."

"Okay, Sister Shan! I'll definitely abide by the law." Wang Hu happily took the form, signed his name, and handed it back.

Huo Shanshan then took out a shiny Audi car key from the drawer, placed it on the table, and pushed it over: "The car is in the underground parking garage, section B, the last four digits are 99, it was just registered a few days ago, brand new."

Wang Hu gripped the key tightly, its heavy metallic feel filling him with joy: "Thank you, Sister Shan."

Lin Feng told Wang Hu and Wang Lei to go sit in the rest area for a while, and then turned around and went into Du Xiaolong's office.

Du Xiaolong was typing rapidly, staring at the screen full of code, without even taking off his headphones.

Seeing Lin Feng enter, he immediately took off his headphones, his face beaming with excitement: "Lin Feng, you're finally here! This offline promotion was a huge success, user numbers have skyrocketed! Total registered users have now surpassed 80 million, 5-yuan offline SMS users have exceeded 60 million, and membership activations have exceeded 8 million!"

Lin Feng nodded; this growth rate was within his expectations. "After completing the GG rollout in surrounding cities, the next step is to focus on the university market. University students are the core user group of social media apps, and they're the fastest at acquiring new users."

Du Xiaolong frowned and said, "It's probably going to be difficult to promote our products at universities!"

Lin Feng said confidently, "WeChat has already made a name for itself, so entering campuses won't be difficult. We can enter legitimately under the guise of campus sponsorships and club collaborations, and the conversion rate won't be low."

"You decide on the operations; I don't understand them and I won't get involved." Du Xiaolong waved his hand, changed the subject, and his expression became more serious.

"But there's something I need to share with you: our current firewall system is still too weak. The larger the user base, the higher the risk of attack, and if a data breach occurs, the trouble will be huge. We urgently need top-notch cybersecurity talent."

Lin Feng was taken aback: "Security expert? Someone who specializes in protection?"

Du Xiaolong tapped the table with his fingertips. "To put it bluntly, they're hackers. These people have unconventional methods and diverse technical skills, but they're truly capable. They can attack and defend, and are worth an entire technical team. These top talents are extremely difficult to recruit. Tencent has two god-level experts on its side, so it's very stable."

Lin Feng frowned, and the group of people who made the small website for him suddenly flashed through his mind.

They're certainly skilled technically, and their methods are quite unconventional.

"I know a few people who work in network technology. I can't say for sure if they're top-tier hackers, but they should be pretty good. I'll contact them later and bring them over for you to test yourself. If they're good, they can stay."

Du Xiaolong's eyes lit up immediately: "Wow, Lin Feng, you have a wide network of connections! You even know someone like this!"

Lin Feng waved his hand, "Don't be too happy yet. Whether you have real skills still needs to be tested. You can check it out then, and we'll talk about compensation if your skills are solid."

"No problem!" Du Xiaolong patted his chest. "As long as your skills are good enough, the salary is negotiable."

After leaving Du Xiaolong's office, Lin Feng called over the two people in the rest area and took the elevator straight to the underground parking lot.

When Wang Hu found the black Audi A6 in Zone B, his eyes lit up.

He circled the car twice, touching the gleaming paint, and couldn't help but yell, "Holy crap! That's so cool! Brother Feng, this is way better than that used Audi you bought in Jiamusi back then!"

Lin Feng rolled his eyes: "Of course, that's an old 02 model, yours is the latest one. You got a good deal, kid."

Wang Hu opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat, touching the leather steering wheel. "What's there to say about price between us brothers? You're driving a Rolls-Royce, and I'm driving an Audi A6. Isn't that reasonable?"

Wang Lei quickly climbed into the passenger seat, touching and looking around with an air of novelty, as if he had never seen anything like it before.

A short while later, two cars drove out of the underground parking garage one after the other. The black Rolls-Royce Ghost was in front, followed closely by the brand-new Audi A6, merging into the evening traffic.
