Chapter 47: Completing the final piece of the puzzle.
Song Qing has extensive knowledge of web development and knows that in universities, PHP, ASP, and JSP are the mainstream choices for students to build websites, and textbooks and case studies mostly revolve around these.
Choosing to use Python's Django framework for website development is a bit ahead of its time. Django offers powerful ORM, a template engine, and an automated management backend, resulting in high development efficiency and more elegant and clear code.
Moreover, Django is a newly emerging formal framework, and daring to use this technology stack is enough to show that Gengzhi has a fairly good technical vision.
He couldn't help but look at Geng Zhi with newfound respect, and his own desire to exchange technical insights with him was also stirred.
"Junior Brother Geng, have you finished compiling the requirements document? I can help you with the development." Song Qing volunteered, his tone straightforward like a tech person.
"Great! Thank you, Senior Brother Song! I'll get the document sorted out right away!" Geng Zhi promptly revealed his overjoyed expression.
Actually, when designing the Double Eleven campaign, Geng Zhi originally didn't plan to build the website himself because he didn't have the time.
His plan is to utilize the existing campus BBS and Renren.com platforms, supplemented by email registration, with all information processed manually initially. After the postgraduate entrance exam, he will have more time to gradually build the official website.
But since Senior Brother Song Qing showed great interest, it was only natural to entrust the website building task to someone else.
"Junior brother, judging from the requirements you just mentioned, they're not too complicated. Song Qing can handle them all by himself. Is there anything else we can help with? Just let us know," Huang Haitang asked enthusiastically.
"Our senior brothers and sisters have such precious time, how could we trouble you with errands and miscellaneous tasks?" Geng Zhi waved his hand with a smile. "However, if you could sign up for our activities, that would be the greatest support you could give us!"
"Okay! I'll sign up first!" Zhang Qinghua volunteered. "Junior brother, from what you just said, you want to be paired up with a partner. Can I, your senior brother Zhang, choose a girl to be paired with?"
Song Qing, Huang Haitang, and Lü Sifeng all cast disdainful glances at them.
Huang Haitang went even further, saying, "Tsinghua junior, your plan is outrageous! It's so unfair to the girls!"
"What's the big deal? Being close to the water tower gives you an advantage, right, junior brother?" Zhang Qinghua chuckled, casually putting his arm around Geng Zhi's shoulder.
"No problem, it's a reasonable request." Geng Zhi smiled and gave an OK sign.
Upon seeing this, Huang Haitang immediately smiled brightly: "Junior Brother Geng, then I'll sign up too. I need to be able to choose my CP in advance."
Zhang Qinghua and Geng Zhi: "..."
Besides the two of them, Song Qing and Lü Sifeng also signed up, mainly to support their junior and watch the fun.
With some time before the evening dinner, the kind-hearted Zhang Qinghua tidied up Zhao Dezhi's temporarily empty workstation and made it available for Geng Zhi to use.
Song Qing then moved a chair and sat down next to Geng Zhi, already starting to figure out how to configure the server environment for him.
In just half an hour, Geng Zhi finished typing the last sentence on the keyboard, then turned to him and said, "Senior Brother Song, the requirements document is ready. Shall I send it to you on QQ?"
"Okay, let me take a look first. I'll see if there's anything that needs to be improved. Send it to me after you've made the changes." Song Qing replied casually, habitually leaning over to look at the straightforward screen.
But as he looked, his expression gradually froze, his gaze shifting from casual browsing to serious scrutiny, and finally he remained completely still, silent for a long time.
This... what's there to change?!
The document has a clear structure, rigorous logic, and clearly describes the functionalities and interactions, even taking into account scalability.
It was far more professional than any requirements document he had ever handled or seen before.
After several seconds of silence, Song Qing slowly spoke: "Junior brother, this document... you can just send it to me directly."
……
At 7 p.m., Geng Zhi followed his senior classmates to the Typhoon Shelter Restaurant in the commercial plaza outside the north gate of the school.
Professor Qi has students all over the world. Although he had repeatedly told Lü Sifeng not to make a fuss and to only have a small gathering, many of his graduates who work in Shanghai still came after hearing the news, and the private room was filled with three large tables.
At the main table where Professor Qi was seated, sat several "senior brothers" and "senior sisters" who had graduated many years ago and were successful in their careers, while the current students consciously gathered at the other two tables.
Geng Zhi naturally sat with Lü Sifeng and Song Qing, who were all pursuing master's or doctoral degrees. Also sitting with him was Yang Ankang, a fellow graduate student from Jiaotong University who had been recommended for postgraduate studies.
The young people had a lot to talk about and chatted enthusiastically. In the middle of the conversation, they inevitably talked about the straightforward "Jiaotong University Matchmaker" project, which aroused great interest among Yang Ankang and others. Yang Ankang even expressed his desire to join the team on the spot.
A toasting ceremony is an essential part of any banquet.
Professor Qi Chuqin only realized that Geng Zhi had also come when he went to the main table to offer a toast, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
By the time Professor Qi came over to return the toast, several rounds of drinks had already been served.
The old man, his face slightly flushed from drinking, patted Gengzhi's shoulder happily, his voice booming:
"Xiao Geng, I have high hopes for your academic potential and aptitude! Once you get into Jiaotong University, get out of that... that matchmaking project of yours as soon as possible and focus on your academic work! Your future is bright!"
"Yes, yes, thank you for your guidance, Professor Qi! I will certainly keep your teachings in mind!" Geng Zhi nodded repeatedly, his attitude respectful.
"Once Xiao Geng enters the lab, you senior students must help him as much as possible and get him on the right track as soon as possible!" Qi Chuqin then pointed to Lü Sifeng and the others and instructed them.
"Yes, Professor Qi! We will definitely do our best to help Junior Brother Geng!" Lü Sifeng took the lead in agreeing.
As soon as Professor Qi turned and left the table, Huang Haitang, Song Qing, Zhang Qinghua and the others' expressions instantly became somewhat subtle, and they all looked at their senior brother, Lü Sifeng.
They could clearly hear that Professor Qi's words implied that he did not want Geng Zhi to continue his entrepreneurial endeavors, but rather hoped that he would pursue a purely academic path.
But this afternoon, they were enthusiastically helping their junior colleague with a project...
Lü Sifeng himself was also dumbfounded.
That day at Professor Jin's place, listening to the conversation between Geng Zhi and Professor Jin, I clearly felt that Professor Qi tacitly approved of or even supported his junior's entrepreneurship.
What kind of show is this?
He cast a questioning look at Geng Zhi.
At this moment, Yang Ankang, who was unaware of what was going on, spoke first, his tone filled with puzzlement:
"Straightforward, didn't everyone just say that Professor Qi supports your startup? But it sounds to me... like Professor Qi doesn't really want you to continue?"
"How could that be!" Geng Zhi immediately declared firmly, "Professor Qi is my entrepreneurial mentor! Without his guidance, my project might not have even won first prize! Professor Qi must have been drunk just now."
Upon hearing this, Lü Sifeng nodded thoughtfully:
"Hmm...that makes sense. When the boss gets drunk, he tends to say the opposite of what he means. Last time he insisted that my algorithm was garbage, but the next day when he sobered up, he praised my clever thinking."
Upon hearing this, Song Qing, Zhang Qinghua, and the others all showed expressions of "I see," and breathed a sigh of relief.
That's reasonable, very reasonable.
Seeing that everyone's doubts had dissipated, Geng Zhi turned to Yang Ankang and asked, "Ankang, do you know an undergraduate student named Chen Chen from our Computer Science Department?"
"Chen Chen? I know him. He's the vice president of our computer association, a junior. What's up, do you need to see him?"
"We need to warm up for our Double Eleven event, and we'd like to post a registration thread on the 'Drinking Water, Remember the Source' BBS. If it can be pinned, the effect will be much better. We'd like to ask him for a favor." Geng Zhi looked over with expectant eyes.
"This isn't a big problem. I'll just let him know. When you're ready to post, just contact me." Yang Ankang readily agreed.
"Great!" Geng Zhi raised his glass and clinked it with Yang Ankang's. "Thanks for your hard work! Our first wave of marketing posts will be released this Friday night."
With Yang Ankang's help, the final piece of the "Jiaotong University Matchmaker" Double Eleven event was completed.
