Chapter 40: I Really Didn’t Check the Video Section
TL: Etude
“Is that her boyfriend?”
Under the scorching sun above Linchuan University, the hearts of the boys in Class 4 were chilling.
Feng Nanshu, the universally acknowledged angelic girl of Class 4, captivated all the boys in her class with her appearance yesterday. Her presence also sparked intense envy among boys from other classes, who regretted not being assigned to Class 4.
Hearing such envious remarks frequently, the boys in Class 4 developed a mysterious confidence, as if being in Class 4 was a matter of great pride.
Despite Feng Nanshu’s indifference to any boy who tried to speak with her, her unattainability only heightened her appeal.
That’s just how men were, no? ‘The more unattainable she is, the more I find her appealing!’
However, this celestial girl was now sitting next to some jerk from the next class, chatting and laughing coyly.
Then they realized, oh, the girl who was their pride belonged to another boy from the start. They were just deluding themselves, which was incredibly hurtful.
So, the warriors of pure love fell in despair.
Cao Guangyu, Zhou Chao, and Ren Ziqiang felt as if they were electrified from head to toe.
They looked at Jiang Qin with complex expressions. The disparity they had just started to feel yesterday was piercing their hearts again.
No wonder he was indifferent to Hong Yan and walked away in front of Chu Siqi. This jerk probably knew so many beautiful women, collecting them like stamps.
Cao Guangyu couldn’t help but recall how, an hour earlier, he had insisted on taking Jiang Qin to see the “beauties of Class 4.” He had described them in glowing terms, but Jiang Qin, that jerk, must have been scoffing internally.
She was his girl, after all. He could see her whenever he wanted. Why would he need anyone else’s praise?
‘Damn it, Jiang Qin wouldn’t really make me eat shit, would he?’
Cao Guangyu swallowed hard, feeling utterly humiliated.
He resolved never to compete with Jiang Qin again.
This man, who claimed to be a virgin at the beginning of the school year, was unbeatable in love!
Just then, Jiang Qin suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Song Qingqing, who had come over earlier, “Have you woken up yet?”
“…”
Song Qingqing tried to pull off a confident smile, wanting to say it was nothing and then turn away casually. But she found she couldn’t smile because she felt the joke was on her.
What did Pan Xiu say again?
That Jiang Qin had pursued a girl for three years and failed to confess?
She had actually believed it and came over arrogantly to kick him while he was down, saying that Jiang Qin couldn’t win her over, which now seemed utterly embarrassing.
Pan Xiu’s face also turned pale as she turned to Ren Ziqiang: “Did you make up that story?”
Ren Ziqiang immediately denied it: “No, it was Jiang Qin who made it up. Now I understand; out of ten sentences he says, eleven are lies. This man is unfathomable!”
“Pan Xiu, what did Ren Ziqiang say?”
“He said Jiang Qin is unfathomable!”
“Pass it on, Jiang Qin is mysterious and profound.”
“Did you hear? Jiang Qin is dating a model.”
“Holy shit, Jiang Qin is keeping a model outside school!”
“…”
After a while, Feng Nanshu said, “I’m leaving,” and got up. She walked back to Class 4’s formation with a light and joyful step, while the smiles of all the boys were now transferred to Jiang Qin’s face.
“Yeah, it is a bit satisfying.”
Jiang Qin admitted generously. He had indeed been showing off just now.
Over the next three days, the freshmen went through marching drills in step, quick march, and running, all getting as tanned as African chickens. (:skull:)
Heaven seemed to be cooperating; not a drop of rain fell.
Cao Guangyu was the first to break. Being a pampered young master, he had never endured such hardship and spent his days cursing and praying for rain in the dormitory.
Annoyed by his complaints, Jiang Qin quietly gave him some advice.
The next day, Cao Guangyu asked for 1500 yuan from his family and went to the hospital for a circumcision during the afternoon break. He then took his medical certificate to the instructor to ask for leave.
“Jiang Qin, your method is really awesome. The instructor actually agreed to let me rest!”
“Well, from now on, you’ll be a more sophisticated man. Try to be more composed and stop shouting all the time.”
After sending him off, Jiang Qin continued reading the “Website Operation Manual” but received a text from Su Nai. She said the website was almost ready, and aside from some unfinished optimization, it was basically ready to go online. She asked if he had time to review it at the library.
After changing clothes, Jiang Qin arrived at the library’s third-floor humanities and social sciences reading room.
Su Nai had already logged into the website backend and began showing off the homepage, demonstrating three types of secondary page transitions and two different post display methods.
Jiang Qin was quite satisfied after seeing it.
Truth be told, the most important aspect of product development isn’t technology, but understanding.
If you have 80% of the technical skills combined with 100% understanding, you can create a product that meets 80% of the customer’s needs. But if you have 100% of the technical skills and less than 50% understanding, you might struggle to produce even a prototype.
Fortunately, Su Nai’s understanding and technical skills were both up to par, meeting Jiang Qin’s expectations in almost every aspect.
The navigation was clear, the appearance was simple, and the page transitions were not overly complex, ensuring quick response times. Plus, the structure was simple, allowing users to quickly find the sections they were interested in.
“The completed parts are quite good. What parts are still unfinished?”
“The website’s load and security testing aren’t done yet, and the ‘big sister pop-up’ isn’t finished either,” Su Nai answered truthfully.
Jiang Qin stroked his chin: “So, it basically meets the conditions for going online?”
Su Nai pushed up her glasses: “We can go live. Subsequent optimizations can be done step by step.”
“Then let’s go live for now. I’ll find someone to create content later. Once we have a sufficient amount of content, we’ll start promoting it. Can the optimizations be completed before the promotion?”
“Absolutely no problem.”
Jiang Qin shifted his gaze from the computer screen and stared at Su Nai for a while: “Did you… stay up late doing something mischievous? Your dark circles are quite noticeable.”
Su Nai coughed and quickly lowered her head: “Senior, creating a website is a very energy-consuming task. To ensure quality, I stayed up late, but it’s not a big issue. You don’t need to worry.”
“I told you to finish it in five days, why rush in three? You’re not trying to get me to pay you more, are you?”
“No, no, no. This is my first time independently designing a commercial webpage, so I have to take it seriously. I kept referring to resource books while working, aiming for the best outcome. Plus, you said if it turns out well, you’d give me all the maintenance work. I got a bit excited and… well, got carried away.”
Jiang Qin was silent for three seconds before clicking his tongue: “Junior, I suggest you look less.”
Su Nai raised her head in panic, her cheeks flushed red: “Senior, don’t talk nonsense, I didn’t watch anything!”
“I’m talking about resource books.”
“Oh, resource books, haha…” Su Nai rubbed her hands and pushed her glasses.
Suddenly, Jiang Qin took his hand off his chin: “Can we also add a video section? Is it difficult technically?”
“It’s not difficult. The player function is very straightforward. Just upload the right format and embed the server code.”
“Will there be any playback stuttering?”
“I haven’t encountered any, but there are annoying ads at the beginning, like ‘sexy dealers dealing cards online.’”
As she spoke, Su Nai suddenly paused, realizing the trap in the question. Her mouth opened slightly, and she was petrified: “What I meant was… videos for website building, do you believe me?”
Jiang Qin nodded earnestly: “Watch less, it’s bad for your health.”
“Uh…”
