Early the next morning.
Network engineers arriving punctually at the Creator company.
Suddenly noticed that several social products under the Penguin brand had been updated.
A new feature, described as "Find Strangers with Similar Interests," was launched.
Penguin's annual major upgrade—Soulmate.
The employees of Gemini immediately fell into a gloom.
It's over.
Penguin's speed is so fast; they've already updated with features identical to ours!
And it's based on their existing social software.
Their user base was already larger than ours.
With similar features, how can we compete?
Before the Creator engineers had a chance to study this "Soulmate" feature.
The entire company's PA system announced a meeting.
Ten minutes later.
400 employees gathered in the meeting room.
Seated or standing, the room was packed.
But everyone was silent, as if a mountain was pressing down on them.
What troubled everyone the most was.
On the screen on the stage, a set of comparison data was displayed.
It was a comparison between Gemini and Penguin social software.
Download numbers, registration figures, and activity levels were updated in real time.
Penguin had a total of 900 million social users, while Gemini had less than 800 million.
Just ten minutes ago, after Penguin updated the "Soulmate" feature, activity levels surged dramatically!
It was only 9 o'clock in the morning, a time when users should be busy, but Penguin's active users had reached 400 million!
And it was still increasing!
It was obvious that they were all flocking to Penguin's new feature!
If this continues, will Gemini end up in a dismal situation?!
"Ahem!"
With a soft cough, A Jia, dressed in a sharp suit, slowly walked onto the stage!
Mr. Zhang is here!
Everyone held their breath and looked attentively.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our company made a major decision the day before yesterday!"
A Jia's gaze swept across the room, his voice deep and powerful, "And that is to declare war on Penguin Group!"
"There is no doubt that this is a significant moment for our company!"
"So, to face and win this highly anticipated battle."
"I have specially invited the true behind-the-scenes founder of our company, the creator of Gemini's core code, Emperor Three!"
As A Jia spoke, he gestured towards the audience with one hand!
Emperor Three!
This name was explosive across the internet, regarded as a super genius by countless network engineers, but whose real identity as a dual-talented programmer and businessman was unknown?
He's here?
Everyone's eyes widened as they looked!
What came into view was.
A young man in a white shirt and jeans, with slightly long hair that partially covered his right eye.
He had a handsome, somewhat disheveled face, and a calm, detached smile, standing with his hands behind his back, observing the crowd!
His appearance...
Was somewhat different from what the Gemini employees had expected!
In their imagination.
Shouldn't he be someone who is slightly chubby, wearing thick glasses, with greasy and sparse hair...?
A top programmer should look like that, right?
The Emperor Three before them.
Was very handsome, like a top celebrity!
Moreover, beneath his white shirt, his physique was also very well-proportioned.
The sleeves rolled up slightly revealed his well-defined biceps!
This physique was also at a god-like level!
Never seen such a programmer!
And a programmer who combined both a god and a celebrity!
Completely different from everyone's imagination!
Several female colleagues were somewhat flustered!
Temporarily forgetting the battle with Penguin!
Hearts fluttering.
Wondering...
Will Emperor Three stay at the company?
I should find a way to get him coffee...
Perhaps, it could lead to an office romance!
Hmm... like the domineering CEO falling in love with me...
Some recognized him.
Isn't he Mr. Zhang's classmate?
He appeared at the class reunion!
Seems like he was the focus of that reunion!
The Gemini employees stared intently at Liu Di.
Suddenly connecting the white-clad figure with the photo of the Three Kings from the news.
The figure in the photo gradually merged with the figure before them!
That's right!
It's him, the legendary Emperor Three!
Clap... clap... clap...
One person reacted first, starting to applaud.
Gradually, the applause grew like thunder!
Liu Di smiled lightly.
Slowly walked up to the stage.
Once he stood still, the applause stopped abruptly!
400 pairs of expectant eyes were fixed on him!
He stood with his back to the screen behind him, his gaze lingering on Penguin's software activity levels.
The numbers were still changing: billions...
"Tsk tsk, Penguin Group is indeed formidable!"
"With this speed, it won't be long before they reach full user activity!"
"Very strong!"
Liu Di spoke slowly.
The room was silent, the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.
What does Emperor Three's comment mean?
Is he scared?
Feeling that the data is too terrifying, and Penguin is unbeatable?
If even Emperor Three is scared, what's the point of fighting?
But Liu Di turned around with a smile.
"I must admit, Penguin is very strong, over ten years of foundation is no empty talk!"
"It's hard to defeat!"
The crowd remained silent, the atmosphere heavy!
"But."
Liu Di casually stepped to the right, revealing another half of the data he had been covering.
This was Gemini's data.
Download users: billions.
Real-time activity: billions.
"I believe that anyone who can join my Creator company, and is here in this meeting room."
"Is a top-notch talent!"
"All are elites among elites!"
"But, at this moment, everyone has made a mistake."
Liu Di's mouth curled into a smile, but his gaze was sharp as he addressed the crowd, "You have already forgotten how outstanding you are!"
A thunderclap seemed to ring in everyone's minds!
Many suddenly recalled the past!
I was once the network technology director at a listed company!
I graduated with a Ph.D. in Network Engineering from South China University of Technology!
I developed an alumni network in college, which became extremely popular!
I had unique ideas, and my visual and graphic design was outstanding, standing out from everyone!
I once put in 100% effort, rising from an intern in a small company to a personnel supervisor!
I...
Yes, I am indeed strong!
A month ago, I was a bit confused, wanting a bigger stage to showcase myself, seeking more challenging opportunities to prove myself, wanting to engage with higher technology to improve myself!
Suddenly, I received an email!
An email signed by Creator.
It was just an unknown company.
But its words moved me, its prospects excited me.
Its future plans made me passionate!
Its broad prospects made me feel awe!
At that moment, I was thrilled!
I thought receiving such an invitation was a great fortune!
I thought working in such a company was a rare opportunity!
So why now?
Why do I doubt myself?
Doubt Creator?
Indeed, as Emperor Three said, I almost forgot how strong I am!
Even the strongest!
