"The iOS version only launched on July 18th, and version 2.0 was released on the 22nd, adding social features!"
"Feature iteration was achieved in such a short time!"
Xiao Anqing's beautiful eyes gleamed:
"Wang Yi, you're truly amazing!"
"No! You're only 18, just graduated from high school, how can you program? Self-taught?"
"Self-taught programming, and you can develop such an excellent and mature software like Meiyou?"
She clearly felt that the Meiyou app was not crudely made software.
On the contrary, it was very mature and smooth, with a flat UI design style, even better than major company software, definitely not something a novice could develop!
"Was it really developed by him? Are high school students nowadays all this amazing?"
"No way?"
For a moment, Xiao Anqing felt a bit doubtful about life.
During her senior year high school summer vacation, she was still eating watermelon and watching "My Fair Princess"!
But what about Wang Yi?
He actually started a business and developed a mature and powerful software!
It's truly disheartening to compare oneself to others!
"If that's the case... this guy is unreasonably excellent! Something's not right!"
Xiao Anqing shook her head: "Could it be that he has a powerful team behind him?"
"Was Meiyou developed by that team? Is he just lending his name?"
"If that's the case, it would be more reasonable, after all, he's just a high school senior, he shouldn't be that amazing!"
"But Teacher Sun said that Wang Yi comes from an ordinary family and can't afford a development team..."
"What exactly is going on?"
Xiao Anqing cupped her chin; the more she thought, the less she understood:
"But one thing is certain, Wang Yi is truly not simple! This column is a sure thing!"
"Originally, just getting into a 985 university by luck, plus a Beihang dream, would have been good enough."
"Now, there's also starting a business during the high school senior summer vacation, and with a high-quality, mature software like Meiyou!"
"Plus, caring for women's health, the third edition is too much of a loss, I need to arrange for him to be on the second edition!"
"If this software was really made by him, excellent enough, explosive enough, I'll apply to the editor-in-chief to give him the first edition!"
Xiao Anqing thought to herself:
"But what exactly is going on, who developed Meiyou, I need to see it with my own eyes!"
With that, she drove out, heading directly to Wang Yi's residential complex.
When Wang Yi had previously agreed to the interview, Liu Haifeng had given Wang Yi's address to Xiao Anqing.
"I'll go directly to his door, catch him off guard, and see who really developed it!"
As a newly employed reporter, Xiao Anqing still adhered to the principle of facts first, never making false reports.
As for whether she would change after experiencing the harsh realities of society, that's another story...
All the way west, forty minutes later, Xiao Anqing arrived at Quanjing Garden.
"An old residential area in the county town, it does fit an ordinary family."
Xiao Anqing ascended the stairs with a light step and knocked on Wang Yi's door.
"Who are you?" Wang Yi was a bit confused; another beautiful woman came to his door.
"Student Wang, it's me, sorry for the sudden intrusion."
"The reporter from the evening news, Xiao Anqing!"
Wang Yi recognized the voice.
"Yes, Student Wang, hello. I wonder if it's convenient for me to interview you?"
Xiao Anqing smiled and extended her hand.
"This is a surprise interview!"
Wang Yi guessed the other party's intention, but it didn't matter, his main focus was authenticity!
Wang Yi shook hands with Xiao Anqing:
"It's fine, but I hope you only record audio, no video. I'm still a student, and I don't really like being in the public eye."
If it wasn't for promoting Meiyou, he would refuse this kind of interview!
After all, he doesn't want to create a persona or get involved in the entertainment industry.
"No problem!"
Xiao Anqing nodded.
Their newspaper office wasn't a TV station, primarily text-based anyway.
She then opened her voice recorder:
"I wonder what Student Wang is doing? Is it convenient for me to take a look?"
"It's convenient, please come in."
Wang Yi invited Xiao Anqing in:
"I'm currently working on Meiyou version 3.0. As for the features of version 3.0, please excuse me for keeping them confidential for now."
"Version 3.0!"
Xiao Anqing's eyes lit up:
"Do you mean to say that this software was developed independently by you? And that you are currently developing version 3.0?"
"Yes."
"Was Meiyou really done by him alone?"
Xiao Anqing was greatly astonished, but she didn't easily believe it.
For a high school senior to create such excellent software alone, it was truly inconceivable, unless she witnessed it herself:
"Could you show me?"
"Yes!"
Wang Yi walked into the bedroom.
Xiao Anqing followed him, only to see a desktop computer turned on, displaying Meiyou's backend data.
The laptop next to it was also on, showing a programming page.
Wang Yi sat on the computer chair, typing on the laptop keyboard, grinding code while saying:
"This is version 3.0, but this update has quite a few features. If I do it alone, it will take a long time."
Watching Wang Yi's skilled posture, chatting while typing code, Xiao Anqing was utterly astonished and completely believed it.
A high school senior really independently developed the powerful Meiyou!
Xiao Anqing's eyes sparkled with admiration.
She quickly took out her camera and took a picture of Wang Yi's back while he was coding:
"Student Wang, don't mind, it's just a back shot, a picture is needed for the newspaper."
"Okay."
Wang Yi didn't mind a back shot or whatever.
"Were the first two versions also developed independently by you? Including the iOS and Android versions?"
Xiao Anqing still found it incredible.
For a high school student to reach this point, he must be a genius!
"There's nothing I can do. The company just started. I bought an office building with a loan, and we're still in the hiring phase. As a one-man army, I can only lead by example.
But version 3.0 has too many features; I'll do the core first, and when people are hired, I'll distribute some parts to them, so it can be launched as soon as possible!"
"Bought an office building with a loan, and still in the hiring phase!"
That's a lot of information.
Xiao Anqing had a stunned expression, then smiled and said:
"Student Wang, where is your office building? Can you take me to see it?"
"I can, yes, but it's in the far eastern suburbs, are you sure you want to go?"
"Yes, I want to go! I'll go no matter how far!"
Such hot material, let alone the far eastern suburbs, even if you ran to the neighboring city, I'd still have to go!
"Okay, it's about time I went to check it out too."
Wang Yi suddenly remembered that after buying the office building, he had never been there again and had left everything to Song Sining.
He guessed Song Sining was probably holding a lot of resentment now.
But the feeling of being a hands-off boss was still very comfortable.
Wang Yi closed his laptop and went downstairs with Xiao Anqing.
To make it easier to learn more, Xiao Anqing directly invited Wang Yi into her Camry.
Camrys of this era were also not good-looking.
Cars from 2011, compared to those more than ten years later, were mostly ugly.
This was a limitation of the era.
"Student Wang, you applied to Beihang with a 569, weren't you afraid of failing?"
Wang Yi shook his head:
"No, I'm not. I've always had a Beihang dream. I originally planned that if I failed, I'd try again next year to get into Beihang.
I didn't expect that most students in the province would apply to universities within the province this year, which led to many top-tier universities outside the province not filling their quotas! I got lucky because of that!"
"It's good luck, and also the power of dreams."
Xiao Anqing's expression was a bit complex:
"Why didn't I get to experience this kind of good thing?"
Just two points over the first-tier university admission line, normally he wouldn't even get into a first-tier university and could only go to a second-tier university, but he actually got into a top-tier university!
It truly makes one envious, jealous, and hateful!
"Student Wang, I saw your mock exam scores, they were all above 620. This time you scored 569, was it because something unexpected happened on the day of the college entrance exam and you missed one subject? I wonder if it's convenient to ask why?"
Xiao Anqing voiced her doubt.
But about this matter, Liu Haifeng didn't mention it.
