Chapter 588 - Tengda Life App (2/2)
“Most of those businesses are either connected to ‘Top Student, Come Quick’ in some way or had their advertisements on the latter.
“What’s more, a few applications have functions that are too simple. Take the application for the shared phone booths, for example. Many people only use it to get a number in the line or scan QR codes. Each application works on its own, and they do not come together to form a system.
“If Tengda’s users want to use all of those functions, they would have to download several applications. That’s not good for publicity.
“What if we could bring the different applications together and integrate them into ‘Top Student, Come Quick’? Not only would the businesses come together to form a whole, but ‘Top Student, Come Quick’ would also be given a new lease of life!
“No, we shouldn’t call it ‘Top Student, Come Quick’ anymore, then.
“The ‘Top Student, Come Quick’ application has completed its mission and is coming to a graceful end, but the Tengda Life application will resurrect it!”
The more Yu Pingan spoke, the more agitated he became. Obviously, Boss Pei had it all planned out for ‘Top Student, Come Quick’!
Why else would Thriller Hostel’s staff come looking for them after the latter rested for a while?
It all made sense now!
Boss Pei hasn’t given up on us. Instead, he entrusted us with a more important task; we just had to discover it on our own!
Our project has hope!
Yu Pingan immediately contacted the people in charge of the shared phone booths, Deposit Fitness, Fish-Catching Take-Out, and other businesses. He shared his own hypothesis with them and then volunteered to integrate and update all the applications.
He believed that none of the department heads would turn him down.
That was because the various teams likely did not have additional manpower to update the applications. If they left their applications to ‘Top Student, Come Quick’, they would be able to focus fully on their own tasks.
All in all, maximizing the use of resources in this way was perfect!

July 17th, Sunday…
In his own house, Pei Qian took a bottle of champagne from the refrigerator, opened it, and then basked in the afternoon sunlight while revising his work.
Handong University had slowly entered its exam week in the middle of July. Although most examinations were scheduled to take place on weekdays, Pei Qian still postponed the Management Trainee Meeting so that the Management Trainees could focus on their own studies.
Thus, yesterday’s Management Trainee Meeting was canceled. The next one was to be held on August 13th.
Pei Qian had always believed that work was important for the Management Trainees, but academics were more important. If Pei Qian caused their grades to slip because of his own matters, he would feel incredibly guilty.
However, for some reason, he kept receiving good news after canceling the Management Trainee Meeting!
The first piece of good news was that, while visitor traffic at Thriller Hostel was increasing, the increase was not significant. It was almost as if Teacher Qiao’s video had not been that effective.
Of course, Pei Qian could not say that it was completely useless. After all, Teacher Qiao was a UP Master with over a million fans, and his video had even been uploaded onto Be Quiet’s official website. It had definitely managed to direct people to Thriller Hostel.
However, things did not blow up like they did after each video in the Products of the Gods series. There was no sudden and significant increase in sales.
The second piece of good news was that, to thank Teacher Qiao for his video, Chen Kangtuo had granted him the special privilege of being able to experience Thriller Hostel for free for a lifetime.
Pei Qian had heard that Qiao Liang’s management of his facial expressions collapsed the moment he heard the news. He had laughed, but he also looked like he was crying.
When Pei Qian heard this, he nearly burst into laughter.
Old Qiao, Old Qiao… look what has happened to you! What is this called? It’s called digging your own grave!
Pei Qian even thought about giving Chen Kangtuo a little red flower.
However, Pei Qian recalled that Chen Kangtuo had brought Thriller Hostel to life, even though it was meant to be dead, and thus increased the former’s exposure to risks. That had been a huge mistake in itself. Thus, his merits and demerits canceled out, and he deserved no reward or punishment.
The third piece of good news was that ‘Food Harmony’ remained cold and deserted even after publicity. Its reputation was good; however, sales were low, and the situation looked sad.
In fact, it was incurring even more losses than Fish-Catching Take-Out.
In a week, Rui Yuchen would probably report this to Boss Pei.
As the saying went, people felt refreshed in the face of happy occasions. After receiving so much good news, Pei Qian felt it fitting to open a bottle of champagne to celebrate. He glanced at the date. Coincidentally, he could go to the biggest private room in Ming Yun Private Kitchen for a meal.
All of a sudden, Pei Qian felt like he should treat Teacher Qiao to a meal.
If for nothing else, it would be to see his defeated expression!
Qiao Liang had stabbed at Pei Qian’s back confidently, and Pei Qian had no time to dodge. Instead, he had been squarely pierced, but after touching the wound on his back, he discovered that he was not bleeding!
Instead, Teacher Qiao’s house had been burgled, and Chen Kangtuo had stabbed him until his back was covered with holes.
Pei Qian was overjoyed!
The more he thought about it, the happier he became. At once, he arranged to meet Qiao Liang for a meal at Ming Yun Private Kitchen.
It’s impolite to always receive without giving. In the past, you always set me up. Today, it’s my turn. I’ll hit you while you’re down and rub salt into your wounds!
