Top Student: Experience Infinite Occupations

The input method he used on his phone was the Baidu input method.

There were more than 100 million mobile phones installed.

Just as he was typing, a majestic golden dragon floated from the left to the right of the screen, just above the input method.

The golden dragon looked majestic and imposing.

The scene was exquisite. It looked like a work of art and was stunning.

“This divine dragon looks so beautiful!” Zhang Tiezhu was very surprised and couldn’t help but point at the golden dragon.

Immediately, a new page popped up.

There was a golden line on the page.

“Wholeheartedly recommending the Divine Dragon Optimization App. After installing it, your phone’s performance will immediately double.”

After seeing this advertisement, Zhang Tiezhu had many guesses.

“Baidu Corporation actually started promoting the Divine Dragon Optimization App!”

“Could it be that Baidu has already acquired the Divine Dragon Optimization App? Otherwise, why would Baidu put in so much effort to promote the App?” A few days ago, the app stores of various mobile phone manufacturers removed the App and even issued security warnings on it. This scene was still vivid in his mind.

At this moment, some fans in Zhang Tiezhu’s livestream also started reacting.

“F*ck, look what I found.” After the user Little Pudding exclaimed in the group, he posted screenshots in the group.

There was a majestic dragon swimming above the Baidu input method.

On the webpage, the words ‘Divine Dragon Optimization App’ had been pre-set in the search bar.

Above Baidu’s logo was a line of eye-catching text. It was an introduction to the Divine Dragon Optimization App. The words ‘Divine Dragon Optimization App’ were even more eye-catching than the search bar.

In the Baidu search app, a majestic, lifelike golden dragon swam around the screen. Although its presence didn’t affect the usage of the app, it was extremely eye-catching.

People couldn’t help clicking on this lifelike divine dragon.

“Do you think Baidu has acquired the Divine Dragon Optimization App? Baidu’s promotion of the App is simply unprecedented.”

“With Baidu’s influence, if they promote the Divine Dragon Optimization App at this level, it might only take a day for the App to exceed ten million downloads!” Someone commented after seeing the photo Little Pudding posted in the group.

“I just downloaded every Baidu app and tried them out.”

“Every Baidu app is promoting the Divine Dragon Optimization App in the most eye-catching location of the app.”

“Basically, we can confirm that the Divine Dragon Optimization App has been acquired by Baidu.”

“Everyone, quickly top up your account and purchase usage credits for the App! Once Baidu acquires the App, they will raise the fees, and we will be on the losing end! It’s only 18 yuan a year now!” Someone in the group suddenly raised this point.

“F*ck, why didn’t I think of that! I’ll buy a three-year subscription first!”

“That’s right, I have to top up immediately! I’ve paid for a five year subscription. The Divine Dragon Optimization App is tied to my account, so I won’t be affected even if I changed phones.” Immediately, someone posted a screenshot of the App after topping up.

“Three years!”

“I’ve paid for two years.”

Early the next morning, because of Baidu’s strong recommendation of the Divine Dragon Optimization App, it became a trending topic on Weibo.

“Does anyone know what the Divine Dragon Optimization App is for? Baidu is promoting it like crazy.”

“An amazing tool. The Divine Dragon Optimization App is simply an amazing tool. You’ll know when you install it. With the App, I can play League of Legends on my three-year-old, 800-yuan phone. Do you believe it?”

“The Divine Dragon Optimization App is awesome. You will know it when you use it.”

“This is the best software released by Baidu Corporation, ever!”

“If your phone is an old phone, the Divine Dragon Optimization App can make your phone look brand new. If your phone is a new phone, the App can double the performance of your phone. You don’t have to restart your phone and it can also maintain smooth functioning for a long time.”

After installing the Divine Dragon Optimization App, one’s handphone would start functioning very smoothly with no lag. One would naturally become a convert and a supporter, and would then be singing its praises on Weibo.

Under the influence of its popularity on Weibo, most Weibo users in the country would come to hear of the Divine Dragon Optimization App.

Many people would then download and install the Divine Dragon Optimization App for a trial.

Immediately, the netizens dug out the old news of how it was removed from the app stores and also the security risk warning that was issued.

“Shocking. The Divine Dragon Optimization App is a risky app. It was just taken down from all the app stores five days ago.”

“There’s a hidden security risk in the Divine Dragon Optimization App. After installation, it might change the system file and would affect the phone’s warranty.”

After seeing these articles, many people who were tempted to download the Divine Dragon Optimization App immediately changed their minds.

Many people’s phones were still under warranty. Although they were not working smoothly, they could still be used. It wouldn’t be worth affecting the warranty by installing the App.

“It’s best to download and install the App after the warranty period is over.” More than half of the people decided against installing the App due to the security risk notification.

…

He Hongyan, the CEO of Baidu, was looking very distressed. He didn’t leave the night before, instead, he planned to go to the Divine Dragon Software Company in Tianyi City to look for Li Chengqian today.

He Hongyan and Qian Wenxin tried all means the entire night to regain control of the server, to no avail.

At the same time, they had also engaged the assistance of several famous internet security experts, but there was nothing they could do either!

As the Divine Dragon Optimization App had appeared all over his products, many people asked him through various channels if he had already acquired the Divine Dragon Optimization App. He Hongyan only felt aggrieved, furious, and… regretful!

...

“Qian Wenxin, keep trying to get people to help regain control. I’ll go to Tianyi City to look for Li Chengqian.” Regardless of whether he could regain control of the server, He Hongyan had to go to Tianyi City and beg Li Chengqian to let him off.

If he could regain control of the company’s server, he would have more bargaining chips in the negotiation process and more confidence.

Unfortunately, the difference in technology level was too great.

…

Meanwhile, over at the conference room of the Divine Dragon Software Company.

In the middle of the big screen, the installation statistics of the Divine Dragon Optimization App was displayed in real time.

In the conference room, Zhao Na looked at the rapidly rising numbers on the screen.

And now, the installation statistics on the big screen have already reached 2.58 million! Moreover, the numbers were still rising. The number of installations was increasing by the thousands every minute.

There were 350,000 paid users, with an average purchase period of 2.3 years per person. Current sales revenue was 14.49 million yuan! Although the number of paid users did not rise as quickly as the number of installed users, it was also rising and rising faster.

When she first saw the various statistics on the big screen, she thought that there was a problem with the data. She even thought that she was hallucinating.

When she confirmed that the statistics were real, her face was filled with disbelief. “A new app, an unknown company, had 2.5 million installations in one night. This is legendary!”

...

“How on earth did Li Chengqian do it!”

“Last night, I made a bet with Li Chengqian. If the number of installations exceeds 10 million in three days…” Thinking of this, Zhao Na immediately panicked.

“Although I don’t know why the number of installations of the Divine Dragon Optimization App suddenly went up by so much, this increase shouldn’t last long. It shouldn’t be possible to exceed 10 million installations in three days. Li Chengqian’s Referral Program is very impressive. It can cause a viral spread.”

“However, many users downloaded and installed the Divine Dragon Optimization App to help others complete their missions. After a while, they will uninstall the App.” Zhao Na comforted herself.

Just then, the door of the conference room was pushed open.

When the company’s Xiaoli saw Zhao Na, he asked excitedly, “Director Zhao, all of Baidu’s apps are strongly recommending our company’s Divine Dragon Optimization App. There is speculation that Baidu has already acquired our Divine Dragon Optimization App.”

“Director Zhao, is this true? After Baidu acquires us, will they lay off employees?” Then, Xiaoli became very cautious.

“Wait, you said that all the Baidu software are recommending our Divine Dragon Optimization App?” Zhao Na’s eyes widened. She immediately understood why the number of installations had risen so quickly.

“Director Zhao, don’t you know? Ever since 10p.m. last night, every Baidu software recommended our Divine Dragon Optimization App! Today, our App is on trending on Weibo’s search, and is ranked eighth.” Xiaoli had an expression that said, “Cut out the act.”

When Zhao Na heard this, she became more and more flustered.

She really didn’t know about this. After returning home the night before, she went straight to bed because she was dead tired. On the way to the office, she didn’t take out her phone.

Now that she heard what Xiaoli said, she quickly took out her phone and opened the trending topic on Weibo.

Then, she saw that the Divine Dragon Optimization App had already reached seventh place, one place higher than what Xiaoli had said.

She didn’t understand the situation earlier, so she could still lie to herself that it was because Li Chengqian’s Referral Program had brought so many installations, and that many people would uninstall the App soon.

Now, she could only panic.

“I’m in trouble…! I’ve suffered a huge loss this time. My pay raise is gone, and my innocence is at stake.”

At this moment, Li Chengqian walked into the meeting room with a calm expression.

“Morning, boss,” Xiaoli greeted him sweetly.

When Zhao Na heard Xiaoli’s greeting, she panicked and jumped up from her seat like a deer in the headlights.
