After his blunder in the handsome guy's comment section was exposed.

In the second semester of her freshman year, Lin Xuechun officially began her internship at Snow Tech.

The name Snow Tech was chosen by Xi Chenzhou.

It was obvious who Snow was referring to. Lin Xuechun thought he was being too high-profile; he was the one who set up the company, and she hadn't contributed much. Xi Chenzhou insisted on not changing his mind, saying, "Wife, this company was created for you."

Lin Xuechun rotated through various departments at Snow Tech for several months before finally finding a suitable direction for herself and joining the product department.

The product department is responsible for the development and optimization of male protagonist doll robots for otome games.

Lin Xuechun has a delicate and sensitive personality, and she is also a veteran player of otome games. She can read through those hundreds of pages of user profiles and emotional needs analysis without any difficulty, and she can see many things from the data that engineers cannot see.

For example, increasing the "alienation" parameter of a certain character by 5% actually increases the user retention rate, because players enjoy the process of "gradually conquering" the character, and being too enthusiastic makes people feel unreal.

The engineers were initially skeptical, thinking she was just the founder's fiancée, there to gain experience in the product department, and they didn't expect her to offer any constructive suggestions.

As a result, after she put forward some viewpoints, the product department conducted three rounds of A/B testing to verify them, and the data results proved that she was right.

This helped her establish herself in the product department.

At the same time, she began to work with the original art team of Yunyi Interactive, holding online meetings three times a week to meticulously refine the details of the three male protagonists in the otome game.

She broke down everything down, from the slightest curve at the corner of the eye to the angle of the corner of the mouth when smiling, and the height difference of the eyebrows under different emotions, creating an extremely detailed comparison chart, accurate to the pixel level.

It is precisely because of this that the robot model delivered later achieved a 99% accuracy rate in recreating the male protagonist, almost a one-to-one replica.

At the end of his sophomore year, Snow Tech launched its first generation of otome game male protagonist humanoid robots.

The video of the press conference went viral and became a trending topic.

Three robots appeared under the spotlight, their appearance exactly like the male protagonist of the otome game: 188cm tall, with a modeled face, broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs.

The face is covered with bionic skin, which can make hundreds of micro-expression changes.

The joints are biomimetic, and the movement trajectory of the knees and hips when walking is almost indistinguishable from that of a real person.

Within a month of its initial pre-sale launch, orders exceeded one million units.

The official account gained tens of millions of followers, and the topic's readership surged to over 80 billion.

Social media is full of user reviews and videos.

In the same year, Xingque Technology launched its companion robot.

CEO Song Zhixing is young but has abundant capital. He works in the same field, but his product form is still in the traditional robot stage, which netizens jokingly call "a bean bun in a shell".

Only a few hundred units were sold across the entire network.

Snow Tech completely outclassed us.

Industry insiders privately mocked Song Zhixing, saying: "He didn't even copy the right thing."

In his junior year of college, Snow Tech started the IPO process.

In the winter of my senior year, Snow Tech officially went public on NASDAQ.

December 3rd.

new York.

Light snow began to fall from the sky, which was a leaden gray. Pedestrians hurried along the streets of Manhattan, wrapped in coats, while the interior of a black Rolls-Royce speeding by was warm and cozy.

Lin Xuechun and Xi Chenzhou sat in the back row.

Today, Xi Chenzhou wore a well-tailored bespoke black suit with broad shoulders that accentuated his tall and imposing figure. He wore a white shirt with a dark gray striped tie at the collar and a standard Windsor bow tie.

Above him was still a sharp and cold face, the youthful spirit in his eyes had settled into something resolute, and his aura became increasingly calm.

Lin Xuechun wore a champagne-colored suit skirt with a white silk shirt underneath, the hem of which was tucked into a matching pencil skirt, and 7cm stiletto heels.

Her long hair was neatly tied up and pinned up at the back of her head, revealing her slender neck and the delicate snowflake necklace on her collarbone. Her figure hadn't changed much, but the immaturity in her eyes and brows had faded, replaced by a more charming and alluring femininity, like a ripe peach or a blooming rose, exuding a natural and rich fragrance just by sitting there.

The two were standing close together.

His stiff suit trousers brushed against her smooth, fair legs.

The handmade Oxford shoes pressed against the pointed toes of her high heels.

Xi Chenzhou turned his head to look at her, his gaze sliding from her fair legs, encased in her skirt, to her beautiful profile. His voice was low and magnetic: "Nervous, wife?"

"It's alright." Lin Xuechun turned her head to look at him, her watery almond eyes blinking gently.

They've been together for almost four years, and every time Xi Chenzhou sees her, he still feels his heart flutter, just like when they first met.

He reached out and pulled her into his arms, his large hand caressing her slender shoulder. "Wife, you look so beautiful today."

A faint blush rose to Lin Xuechun's cheeks, and she gently slapped his stiff leg. "Haven't you gotten tired of looking at me after all this time?"

I have to praise her countless times every day.

"I'm not tired of it, I'll look at it for a lifetime." Xi Chenzhou kissed her rosy cheeks. His wife was still so easily embarrassed, blushing as soon as he praised her.

The Nasdaq trading floor is located at 4 Times Square. A huge electronic screen hangs on the outside of the building, with blue background and white lettering. The Nasdaq logo is particularly eye-catching in the snowy night.

When Lin Xuechun got out of the car, she looked up and saw snowflakes falling on her eyelashes. She blinked and was led inside by Xi Chenzhou.

The scene inside the hall was quite different.

Warm lights streamed down from the dome, illuminating the entire space.

The bell-ringing platform faces the big screen, which displays a banner that reads "Welcome SNOW TECH to Nasdaq," accompanied by a snowflake icon—a sketch she made casually during her sophomore year of college, which Xi Chenzhou used as the company logo, and now it appears on the tallest screen in Times Square.

Next to the icon is a line of English text: Founders Lin Xuechun & Xi Chenzhou

Lin Xuechun stared at that line of text for several seconds, feeling as if she were dreaming.

Before the bell rang, staff led them to the bell-ringing platform. A round button, made of metal, was embedded in the platform, surrounded by a ring of blue indicator lights.

Xi Chenzhou and Lin Xuechun stood side by side, their fingers intertwined.

It was very quiet around.

Cameras, reporters, investor representatives—dozens of eyes were fixed on these two people.

"Wife, come here."

"Let's do it together."

Lin Xuechun placed her finger on the button, and Xi Chenzhou's hand covered it, his fingers overlapping on the back of her hand, pressing down with her fingertips.

"Three, two, one—"

The bells rang throughout the hall.

The numbers on the big screen flashed – “SNOW TECH” release price: $288.

The numbers are still going up, rapidly approaching $500, $700, and $1000.

A scrolling news bar at the bottom of the screen displayed the following text: "Chinese AI company SNOW's market capitalization surpasses $800 billion on its first day of trading on Nasdaq, making it the largest tech IPO this year."

Flashes of light came from all directions, a blinding white light that made the whole hall look like midday.

Lin Xuechun stood in the light, tilting her head to look at him. Xi Chenzhou also looked over, and their eyes met amidst the flashing lights.

"Wife, thank you for coming into my world."

"I love you."
