Chapter 38 (1/2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Peng Jia was the CEO of Xinglin Garden and his office was located on the thirty-eighth floor of a landmark building in Sorcery Capital.
He sat in a bright, s.p.a.cious room, staring at the slowly flowing waters of Huangpu River, visibly dazed and confused.
He met a ghost today!
In order to establish a professional website, Xinglin Garden had a set of strict rules that included account registration with a medical pract.i.tioner’s license number and the prohibition of unregistered random visitors from browsing the site.
Extreme measures needed to be taken to ensure professionalism. That was Peng Jia’s character.
He had a goal and the executive ability to pull it off. After five years of hard work, Xinglin Garden had become the number one website in the country and its reputation was far greater than any other would-be runner-up.
No one would shake Xinglin Garden’s foundations for the next five years.
Everything had been going so well and he was riding high on the crest of his success until this morning, when Peng Jia received a report from a forum department manager stating that the server was restarted due to an overloaded server.
This simple issue was a problem?
Peng Jia responded perfunctorily instead of figuring out what sort of post could lead to a system breakdown, which was what he would have done several years ago. He had devoted all of his attention to the capital market and Xinglin Garden’s registration in said market was of utmost importance to him.
It was just a server reboot, not a big deal at all.
However, Peng Jia received a phone call right after the department manager had finished reporting.
The caller, the personal secretary of an elderly professor at Union Medical College Hospital, inquired about the reason for the live surgery broadcast room’s sudden breakdown.
There were only a handful of doctors who hired a personal secretary within the country.
Peng Jia dared not neglect this issue any more as this mogul was one of his benefactors. After repeated affirmations and apologies, he prepared himself to investigate the source and find out what sort of livestream had aroused the interest of that elderly man.
“Toot-toot-toot.” Another phone call came in before this one had even finished.
After seeing the caller ID, Peng Jia quickly apologized to the elderly man, promising to begin repairs as soon as possible and invest more resources into its maintenance.
He then hung up on the first caller and accepted another call from another elderly man.
The question was the same. It was about the live surgery broadcast room.
Startled and curious, Peng Jia began wondering what sort of live surgery broadcast could attract the attention of these moguls.
Fortunately, Peng Jia did not receive a third phone call. Otherwise, he would have considered this a supernatural event.
These elderly men had a high social status and were extremely difficult to meet or even call as their personal secretaries’ permission had to be acquired before he could even request an audience. He was the CEO of the top domestic website but merely a speck of dust underneath their fingernails. However, the fact that these men had called him for an inquiry today as if they had discussed this issue beforehand had been completely beyond his expectations.
It would have been fine if they were just making a simple inquiry, but the unpleasant tone in their voices had induced fear in Peng Jia.
He put his phone down and quickly asked about the situation while rus.h.i.+ng to the server room to personally oversee the software debugging process.
A few speculations took form his mind on his way toward the server room. Moreover, his cell phone was ringing off the hook as every doctor with his number around the country also bombarded him with the same question.
Upon reaching the server room, he watched the recording of the surgery livestream in the backend server and understood everything instantly.
A demon had come to his own website to broadcast his surgery live.
That was great!
Peng Jia made a few calls immediately to purchase a new server and increase the maximum capacity in a live broadcast room to three thousand viewers.
Peng Jia always thought that servers cost a fortune, but this time, he did not even ask about the price but made only one request—the server had to be installed within one hour.
Anything was possible as long as the payment was satisfactory.
The manufacturer came through without hesitation and installed the new server within fifty-six minutes.
After debugging was completed and the website was operational, Peng Jia ordered every staff member to shut down posts on the website when necessary so that the live surgery broadcast room would remain operational at all times.
The live surgery broadcast room went back online after a breakdown of thirty hours and fifteen minutes.
