Chapter 550 There will be a Surprise Two Hours Later
Guo Licheng shook his head. “No, Boss Pei, I only requested for the most basic features.”
Pei Qian felt reassured. He then turned to look at Chang You. Chang You, you b*stard, what do you have to say for yourself?! You did not fulfill the needs of others; why were you fooling around! Why would your crime be?!
Boss Pei had yet to say anything when Guo Licheng said, “I realized that these functions are definitely not needed. However, seeing these functions by Vice-President Chang, I realize that they are essential!”
Pei Qian turned his head towards Guo Licheng. TIPI
I thought you were on my side!
Guo Licheng did not notice Boss Pei’s astonishment at all but continued to speak highly of the software made by Otto Technologies.
“These functions are so perfect, so useful!
“For example, this smart training arrangement could greatly reduce the workload of the personal trainers. We only need to make adjustments to each person’s physical condition!
“There is also the check-in reminder. Customers can also use this reminder to avoid a sedentary lifestyle, irregular eating, and other problems when they are not in the gym!
“The fitness zone is for our clients to share fitness experience, support and help each other out… to improve each other’s confidence in persevering…
“Moreover, the interface of this software is also beautiful, the layout reasonable. It is convenient and smooth to use. It has all the functions that I did not experience previously! So amazing!
“Vice-President Chang, it is really hard for me to express my gratitude in words!” Pei Qian: “…”
Seeing Guo Licheng’s excited expression, Pei Qian did not know what to say for a while.
If Party A-who raised the demand-was so satisfied, then what was there to criticize Chang You for adding on additional functions…? Chang You smiled slightly, but he did not fully accept Guo Licheng’s gratitude.
“Boss Guo, Otto Technologies indeed put in a lot of effort into the software development process, and I should gladly accept your gratitude. But… I think you should still be grateful to Boss Pei.”
Guo Licheng was at a loss. Moreover, Pei Qian was still at a bigger loss.
Be grateful to me?
What was there to be grateful to me for?
Chang You explained. “If it weren’t for Boss Pei’s hint to add some thinking into developing the application and then comprehensively improve on the request, how else could we have thought of so many functions?
“The specific work was important, but it is more important to direct the work!”
Guo Licheng showed a sudden expression of realization. He was a little puzzled before and felt that the happiness was a little unreal.
In reality, he intended to find an outsourcing team to make a piece of software. Even if the outsourcing team would make the functions the best, they would often make a mess of the application, filled with bugs.
After all, the minimum requirement was fulfilled. It was enough to make it and take the money; who would be willing to make it seriously?
However, Otto Technologies did not only fulfill the requirement well but also gave him a bunch of additional functions. Not only was the interface and operation very smooth, but it was stable and bug-free. They were obviously carefully crafted!
Guo Licheng was originally thinking that, even if it was a sibling department, the profitability would not affect each other so why work so hard?
Now, everything was clear.
It must be because of Boss Pei’s hint to Otto Technologies that they would do their best!
Why else would Chang You attach so much importance to this and even come all the way here to introduce the functions of the application to me? How could Boss Pei appear in the gym ‘on a whim’ and ask about this application?
However… there was still a point of doubt.
Why did Boss Pei ask me ‘are these all your requirements?’
He understood now.
It was equivalent to Boss Pei giving Otto Technologies a set of homework and asked me about it when checking his homework.
If it was completed by Otto Technologies and Deposit Fitness, then it would mean that Vice-President Chang did not complete his homework independently and that Otto Technologies would be discounted in Boss Pei’s mind…
Right now, Otto Technologies had clearly fulfilled Boss Pei’s requirements perfectly! It was all right now; everything was right now! Guo Licheng hurriedly said, “Thank you, Boss Pei! The software is really useful! Boss Pei had been really thoughtful, even thought of it in advance!”
Pei Qian looked at Guo Licheng blankly and then looked at Chang You again. Are you two… scheming together? What did this have to do with me? Why are you all thanking me?
Look at the sincere gratitude in Guo Licheng’s eyes and looked at Chang You’s meaningful smile… the two of them seemed to be waiting for Boss Pei to say something.
The corners of Pei Qian’s mouth twitched slightly. “Actually, I did not…”
Guo Licheng and Chang You replied in unison, “Understood!”
Guo Licheng said happily, “Then, I will promote this software to all the members!”
Chang You patted his butt and stood up. “Boss Pei, I have something else in the company. I will leave first. Boss Guo, feel free to contact me at any time if you have any questions about the application. We’ll definitely fix it as soon as possible!”
Pei Qian: “…”
Why aren’t you two listening to what others are saying?!
What was this? Throw the pot onto Boss Pei first so that Boss Pei could not throw the pot onto us?
Pei Qian was very speechless. Why did he feel like his employees were all evolving into Ruan Guangjian? Pei Qian fell into confusion, seeing Guo Licheng happily going to the gym members to promote this fitness application. What should he do then?!
The app had been made and done very well; I couldn’t well stop them from using, right?
However, what would happen if he did not stop such a great application and the Deposit Fitness became popular as well? At present, if it is only used by gym users, it would not matter for the time being. After all, there are not many users in the gym, but it would be very bad if it spreads like ‘Top Student, Come Quick’!
Their immediate task is to quickly prevent them from promoting this software on a large scale.
How to stop it…?
Uh… they did not seem to have plans for large-scale promotion. Pei Qian found that his thoughts seemed to have entered a dead end. This application was rich in features, and there was indeed a possibility of catching on fire.
However, Otto Technologies only developed the software and did not care about operations. Guo Licheng did not seem to have such brains to help with the software promotion.
Just emphasize to Guo Licheng, tell him not to promote this software? No, that would definitely have the opposite effect…
It was possible that he did not even want to promote, but he might have instead promoted them thinking that I’m giving him a hint…
Pei Qian got into a kink in the resting area on the couch. It seemed like the best way out now was to say nothing and let Guo Licheng not realize that he should take the initiative to promote this software, but treat it as a benefit for the gym membership.
Pei Qian decided not to say anything after weighing the pros and cons.
The branches of Deposit Fitness were now losing money as they should. He must not mess with it and cause it to accidentally become popular. It would be a huge problem then.
Observe for a while before thinking of a solution if he found something wrong.
Pei Qian got up to leave. However, it was at this exact moment that his phone shook. It was a message from the Manage Loss Trainee of the DGE Esports Club:
“Boss Pei, today Boss Zhang and Coach Yaling did not prepare any strength or physical training, but an entire day of mock competition. Coach Yaling said that it was to let the players rest.”
Eh?
Change of training plan? It had never happened before. However, it did not seem that dangerous as well?
Coach Yaling’s fitness plan was to separate the training of each muscle. Legs today, chest tomorrow, etc., so that the muscles of each part could grow fully.
It seemed reasonable for them to rest a day or not.
As for a day of mock competition… it didn’t matter. Let them continue; no one was hosting a GOG competition now anyway.
Hmm…
No, even the smallest signs could not be taken lightly! The many lessons of the past had made Pei Qian continue his vigilance when he was about to relax.
“Ask Boss Zhang unofficially if there are any special event arrangements.”
The Manage Loss Trainee replied after two minutes: “Boss Zhang said that it is a secret for now. He will give me a surprise in two hours.” Pei Qian: “Two hours?”
Zhang Yuan, you’re great, eh. You don’t even dare answer the Secret Service’s question now!
Do I have to announce special powers for the Secret Service then?
And what did you mean by there would be a surprise after two hours? What the hell!
Pei Qian suddenly panicked, but there was no helping it. The Manage Loss Trainee could not do anything if Zhang Yuan did not say anything in case he was revealed.
Pei Qian gave it a thought. He should bring out the mind map immediately now to ensure that the DGE Esports Club would have any links with the other departments! Maybe he could find some clues!
Guo Licheng felt warmth in his heart seeing Chang You and Boss Pei leave separately. These two came and left like the wind. They left without saying too much after extending a helping hand.
Was this what it felt like to be in a big family?
It seemed like Deposit Fitness was like a small sapling, and these already grown departments were like towering trees-sheltering the Deposit Fitness from the wind and rain…
The prospects of Deposit Fitness suddenly became so much more optimistic with the care of Boss Pei and the help from the other departments.
The customers of Deposit Fitness were basically stabilized now.
There were more types of fitness meals; fitness became easier to stick to. Anyone who had been with Deposit Fitness had obvious results. Their physical data indicators improved visibly.
Customers could now make appointments on their mobile phones with the application, without worrying about having too many people in the gym.
It seemed as though there was only one opportunity left to show everyone the magical effects of Deposit Fitness.
Guo Licheng was not sure how long the opportunity would last, maybe for a month or
two?
However, he firmly believed that everything was in Boss Pei’s plan. The opportunity would definitely come back if he waited patiently!
Pei Qian immediately took out his notebook when he was back at Fish-Catching Internet Cafe and checked the departments to which DGE Esports Club might have connections.
After intensive investigations, Pei Qian initially locked onto three suspected departments, Tengda Games, Shang Yang Games, and Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. “DGE Esports Club did not have an IOI project so Shang Yang Games’ suspicion is the smallest. Tengda Games… is quite possible.
no
“Fish-Catching Internet Cafe… seems possible now, but Xiao Peng told me previously that it would only open on Wednesday. Today is only Tuesday?
“It doesn’t coincide with two hours’?
“Yes, I can ask the Manage Loss Trainees of these two departments to see if there is anything worth noting.” However, Pei Qian’s phone received a message when he was considering which department he should ask first.
It was from Xiao Peng.
“Boss Pei! Fish-Catching Internet Cafe 3.0 will officially open today. I wonder if you might have the time to attend the opening ceremony.”
Pei Qian looked at this message with a question mark floated silently above his head.
He hurriedly asked. “Isn’t today Tuesday? The scheduled time was Wednesday, right?”
Xiao Peng replied very fast: “Yeah, it was originally scheduled for Wednesday. But the preparatory work went smoother than expected, and today seems to be an auspicious day to start the business so I decided to advance to today.
“Boss Pei, don’t worry, everything has been arranged. We’ll be able to accumulate one more day of popularity if we are to open one day earlier!” Pei Qian: “…”
Auspicious day? Feudal superstition would kill people!
