Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Trending and Meeting Qi Fei at the Airport

The official debut of shared bikes sparked a great deal of discussion, with heated debates flaring up online.

On Weibo’s trending topics, "shared bikes" even shot to third place on the real-time list, and "Little Red Car" squeezed into the seventh spot!

"Today, a large number of red shared bikes suddenly appeared on the streets and alleys of Rongcheng. People riding Little Red Cars were everywhere. This is a new product from a tech company whose main business is shared bikes. It’s clearly a bold experiment, and netizens are discussing it with mixed reviews."

This was a segment from a Sichuan provincial TV news channel. The Little Red Cars had certainly brought some fresh vitality to the provincial capital of Rongcheng!

"Shared bikes? Isn’t this just giving away free bicycles? Hell no! I’m gonna see if I can snag one and take it home later!"

"This company must be braindead. I bet all the bikes will be stolen within a month! I’m calling it now, and if they’re not all gone, I’ll do a handstand and take a crap!" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"+1 to the post above! I’m here to see you perform your special talent!"

...

The online discussions didn’t bother Wu Yun in the slightest. In fact, he and his team were pleasantly surprised.

It was the first time Little Red Car had ever trended, and it was all free publicity!

Wu Yun quickly instructed Li Qiuliang to keep spending money to find well-known personalities on Weibo to help promote the shared bikes.

Xingyun Media was among those Li Qiuliang was to contact.

On August 21st, Wu Yun spent the entire day at the office. Seeing the number of registrations and the total deposit amount continuously rising, he finally relaxed, ready to just sit back and watch the money roll in.

That night, he and Wen Meng continued to star in their own adult film. The physically fit Wen Meng nearly made Wu Yun surrender completely.

The next morning, Wu Yun packed his things, ready to go to the airport to pick up Bai Yue and take her back to Jingyang.

As for Wen Meng, Wu Yun had her contact her previous real estate agent to see if there were any suitable houses for sale in the nearby neighborhoods, including Shida Garden.

In Wu Yun’s words: "Senior, that’s for building our love nest. Everyone knows about this other house."

Wen Meng understood Wu Yun’s meaning and didn’t object. On the contrary, she was delighted to contact the real estate agent.

However, before she could go look at any houses, Wen Meng received a call from Yang Shasha and went over to her place.

Wu Yun picked up Bai Yue, and after hurriedly completing the transfer procedures at the government service center, she only had time for a quick meal with him before rushing back to the Capital City. He had no idea what she was so busy with, and she wouldn’t say when he asked.

Left with no choice, Wu Yun could only take her to the airport. He heard her say expectantly, "Wu Yun, come to the Capital City soon. I’ll be waiting for you!"

「...」

Not far away, Song Qin said in surprise, "Feifei, isn’t that your Xiaoyunzi?" She pointed at Wu Yun, who had just sent Bai Yue on her way.

Qi Fei was also surprised. She hadn’t heard Wu Yun mention he was coming to the airport last night.

So, Qi Fei snuck up behind Wu Yun, covered his eyes with her hands, and said in a disguised voice, "Guess who?"

Startled for a moment by the "attack," Wu Yun quickly relaxed. Smelling the familiar, fresh scent, he laughed and said, "Wenwen? Sisi? Or is it Qiqi?"

Hearing this, Qi Fei’s anger flared, and she bit down on Wu Yun’s trapezius muscle. "Xiaoyunzi, it looks to me like you have a death wish!"

Wu Yun felt a sharp pain in his trapezius, but Qi Fei had only bitten gently, not using too much force.

So Wu Yun broke free from her hands, turned around, wrapped his arms around Qi Fei’s slender waist, and lifted her into the air. He buried his head in her chest and spun her around on the spot, the hem of her dress fluttering in the breeze.

The scene looked incredibly harmonious, exactly like a couple reuniting at the airport after a long separation.

"Haha! Put me down!" Qi Fei laughed, her hands holding tightly onto Wu Yun’s head.

Wu Yun greedily took a few deep breaths before slowly putting her down.

At the airport, a few people who had noticed Wu Yun earlier saw this. He had just sent off a beautiful, innocent-looking woman, and now he was embracing another beauty with a completely different style. He was truly a master of time management, a real-life Sea King.

Oh, wait! The term "Sea King" didn’t even exist in 2014!

"Ahem~"

A few deliberate coughs interrupted Wu Yun and Qi Fei’s private little world.

"Hello, Seniors!" Wu Yun greeted them.

"Junior! Who were you seeing off at the airport? I highly doubt you came to see *us* off!~" Li Yao said, drawing out her words teasingly.

Qi Fei and the other two also stared at Wu Yun with scrutinizing eyes, giving off a "you’re not leaving this airport until you come clean" vibe.

"Ahem! Seniors, can we maybe talk somewhere a little more private? Look, a lot of people at the airport are staring at us!" Wu Yun didn’t answer directly, instead gesturing with his eyes towards the many passengers looking their way.

Four beautiful young women with different styles—no, three beautiful young women—it was impossible for them not to attract attention.

The group found a bench, and Wu Yun had them sit down before saying, "I just saw my classmate off. I didn’t expect you all would be leaving today, too! I just wrapped up my work the last few days and was planning to head back to Jingyang to hang out with you!"

The women still had their doubts, but they were drawn in by the topic Wu Yun brought up. Lately, Wu Yun had been video-calling Qi Fei almost every day, so they all knew he had started two more companies and that Nirvana Technology’s Little Red Car had launched.

As frequent Weibo users, they were well aware of how popular Little Red Car was. "Shared bikes" and "Little Red Car" were taking up two spots in the top ten trending topics right now.

Qi Fei asked, "Xiaoyunzi, how many people have registered for Little Red Car so far?"

Qi Fei voiced the question on the other three women’s minds. After all, their relationships had different levels of intimacy, so it was most appropriate for her to be the one to ask.

"As of noon today, I got a report that 1.35 million people have registered." Wu Yun shared the midday data. It wasn’t exactly a classified secret, as it was a figure they would be using for promotions soon enough.

Li Yao was stunned. She immediately pulled out her phone, opened the calculator, and did the math. "A 299 deposit... let’s round it to 300 per person... 1.35 million people is 405 million in deposits! Wow, Junior, you’re rich!" Li Yao exclaimed, then quickly covered her mouth, realizing she had been a bit too loud.

"Those are deposits, not my money. They can be refunded at any time. But while I can’t use the principal, the interest from depositing it in the bank belongs to my company!" Of course, Wu Yun wasn’t about to mention that he was already using the deposit money to make more money.

Even the usually composed Zeng Shengnan was flustered. She took out her phone to look up bank deposit interest rates, then said excitedly, "Just one year’s worth of interest income is more than enough for our Junior to buy another Lamborghini. Feifei, this internet company makes money way faster than your family’s real estate business!"

During this time, the three women had gotten a clear understanding of Qi Fei’s family situation. Compared to her family’s company, the speed at which this tech company was making money was like having a license to print it.

And this was only the second day since Little Red Car’s launch. This was a company Wu Yun had founded in just one month.
