Chapter 35: Some Beautiful Images
TL: Etude
The six people left at Nanshan Restaurant were all in silence.
Hong Yan was pondering the future of her relationship with Chu Siqi, while Chu Siqi was purely angry, and Wang Huiru was contemplating the best solution.
Cao Guangyu, Zhou Chao, and Ren Ziqiang were regretting why they didnt leave with Old Jiang earlier.
The three young lads, without even girlfriends, got involved in this mess. Now, they dared not even breathe heavily, desperately looking for excuses to leave.
Meanwhile, Jiang Qin had already returned from the pedestrian street to his campus and arrived at the university library.
Still, the same old saying: love was not the main theme of his life, making money was.
Many students from the Computer Science Department at Linchuan University did private work outside, like building websites and writing window programs, which were nothing difficult for them. Last night, Jiang Qin posted on a university student forum looking for someone to build a website, and then he received a private message from an ID named Nai Xue.
The two had agreed to meet today, but an unexpected encounter almost delayed the important matter.
Is it true that women hinder making money?
Too hot, Ill buy an ice cream to eat, and maybe lower my blood pressure a bit.
Jiang Qin picked a small pudding from the freezer at the college supermarket, licking it while walking towards the library.
Linchuan Universitys library is a huge H-shaped building, with eight floors. The first six floors are public reading areas, and the top two are archives not open to the public.
The two had agreed to meet on the third floor, so Jiang Qin headed straight for the elevator upon entering.
Once inside the library, the cool air hit him immediately. After being in the sun all the way, it was a bit overwhelming.
Jiang Qin paused at the entrance, his gaze following the corridor.
Linchuan University truly lived up to its 985 reputation (search it up, lazy to explain). Even on the second day of the new semester, the library was full of people, the sound of flipping pages was endless, and there was even a scent of ink he wasnt sure if it was psychological, but it smelled really good.
After a while, Jiang Qin felt somewhat emotional, thinking, Damn, this is what university is about, not about being cooped up in love all the time.
After catching his breath, Jiang Qin, based on the information given by the other party, went to the third-floor social sciences area reading room and found Nai Xue who took the order.
Yes, Nai Xue was a senior student.
A senior in a black dress, with two braids, and wearing large black-framed glasses. Although she looked petite, her school badge was sky blue, clearly not a freshman.
Hello, my name is Su Nai, Computer Science Department, junior year. Should I call you senior or junior?
Jiang Qin sat down and thought for a moment before speaking: My surname is Jiang, from the Finance Department. You can call me senior.
Su Nai nodded slightly, without any doubt: Senior, Ive looked at your website building request. I can do it for you.
How long will it take?
Three days.
Jiang Qin didnt understand the process of building a website, but instinctively felt it was a bit rushed: Three days, are you sure? Im not in a hurry, but the most important thing is the quality.
Su Nai, with an otaku-like demeanor, pushed her glasses: Trust me, three days is enough, but it might need maintenance later on.
Lets start with the website building. If the result is good, you can take care of the maintenance too.
Thank you, senior. Lets discuss some details. There are some parts I dont quite understand and would like to hear your explanation.
Su Nai took out her notebook and placed it on the table. On the screen was Jiang Qins post from last night: I understand pop-up ads, but what do you mean by beauty picture style pop-ups?
Jiang Qin coughed, glanced around, then lowered his voice: Its about eye-catching picture ads, you know? The kind with some exposed older sisters, which can increase click rates.
Still dont understand?
I get it, youre talking about those somewhat risqu images?
Jiang Qin widened his eyes in surprise: Su Nai, your summarizing skills are impressive.
Su Nai pursed her lips and glanced at Jiang Qin: Senior, are you really a decent person?
Of course, I am.
But what youre describing falls under inappropriate content. If it gets reported, getting the site shut down isnt impossible.
Su Nai advised kindly, hoping this senior Jiang would give up on the idea.
Su, remember, technology is innocent!
Alright, but if anything happens, its not my responsibility.
I know what Im doing. Just make it first, and if it doesnt work, we can change it.
In 2008, internet regulation wasnt as stringent. Otherwise, piracy sites like Movie Heaven wouldnt have been so popular. Jiang Qin didnt have the means to spread pop-up ads across the entire net, so the chance of being reported was not very high.
Besides, a domain name wasnt very expensive; if one didnt work, they could always switch to another. Theres always a way to succeed.
Su Nai fell silent, her head bowed, not speaking. Jiang Qin thought she had some moral reservations about creating such a thing, feeling it beneath her talents. He coaxed and persuaded her for a long time, but the senior had a different concern entirely, which caught Jiang Qin off guard.
I havent seen such pictures. Do you have resources, senior?
Jiang Qins mouth twitched, and he took her laptop, typing a URL into the browser.
In a 985 university, in the solemn and sacred library, the two huddled in a corner, silently staring at the screen, spending half an hour looking at beautiful pictures.
In the end, Su Nais breathing became noticeably heavier. Even as a tech enthusiast, she could clearly see why such images would attract clicks.
I think I need five days to build the site.
Jiang Qin was slightly taken aback: Hmm? Why?
Su Nai pushed her glasses: Looking at this stuff lowers work efficiency.
I understand, I used to be like that too, but I think you should focus on work. Its better to avoid such things.
I can control myself, senior, but you need to understand, this new world has a big impact on someone like me, a homebody. Is five days okay?
Alright, five days it is, but no later.
Su Nai nodded, then moved the mouse to the top right corner: Here there seems to be a video section?
Jiang Qin immediately closed the laptop screen and looked at Su Nai seriously: Junior, once you open that door, it wont just be a matter of five days. I hope you consider carefully.
Then I wont look. Su Nai said, pursing her lips.
Jiang Qin nodded in relief: Then work hard, and dont look at things you shouldnt.
Okay, Ill make a satisfactory website for you. Thank you for trusting me, senior.
No problem, taking care of a junior is what I should do.
After finalizing all the details of the website, Jiang Qin left the library with peace of mind. Su Nai hesitated for three and a third seconds before opening her laptop, gazing at the video section in thought.
