Chapter 243: Internal Beta

The apparent effect is top-notch. I imagine such a browser would be very popular among students, especially college students.

Not to mention Candy Browser’s powerful search functionality—just the fact that, after installation, along with the user’s local cache data, it only takes up a little over twenty megabytes.

In an era where most mobile browsers occupy hundreds of megabytes or even more than a gigabyte.

Candy Browser, just like ten years ago, is only a few dozen megabytes in size.

In contrast, it’s hard not to make users adore it.

"Zero, send the installation packages for mobile and PC, along with download links, via the company’s internal email to all employees for an internal test."

"The testing period is tentatively set for one week. During this time, anyone whose reasonable suggestions are adopted will be awarded 1,000 yuan in cash."

"There is no cap on the number of rewards."

"Boss, I’ve already sent out all the emails."

At the same time, all employees of Candy Technology received the email.

And a pop-up reminder appeared at the bottom right of their computer screens.

As more and more people became interested, the number of downloads also rapidly increased.

The developers said, are we interested in the 1,000 yuan bonus?

Kidding, we care about whether we can find bugs.

In no time, everyone in the company who had some free time was studying the Candy Browser.

Only the employees who participated in the aesthetics, front-end development, and testing of Candy Browser were trembling.

If others find problems and receive bonuses, it’s an honor.

But for them, emm, it’s a definite slap in the face, isn’t it?

While the internal testing was going on at the company, Mo Jingchun wasn’t idle either.

"Xia, go and file an ICP record for the Candy Browser."

"If all goes well, after the internal test, we’ll conduct a public test."

"If there are no issues during the public test, we’ll launch the Candy Browser directly."

"Okay, boss."

Just then, Candy came in with a cat leash, pulling Bun.

Since having surgery, Bun needs more exercise, so whenever there’s time, Candy takes Bun for walks around the campus.

In Mo Jingchun’s impression, Bun, who had undergone a spaying operation, had become much gentler.

Who knew that after not being in the office for more than a fortnight, Bun went straight up to Xia Xiaomin and crazily slapped her with its paws upon seeing her.

The speed was so fast that you could see the afterimages of its chubby paws.

In response, Xia Xiaomin just glanced down without any surprise.

It’s obvious that Xia Xiaomin wasn’t the least bit surprised by Bun’s behavior.

Although it was the boss’s idea to get Bun neutered.

It was Xia who took Bun for the neutering.

Fortunately, Candy reacted quickly and pulled Bun away.

"Big sis, I’m sorry, Bun really didn’t mean it."

"Bun wasn’t like this before."

Of course, it wouldn’t have been like this before, Xia Xiaomin smiled slightly.

"It’s all right."

Bun was pulled away by Candy, but its small eyes kept staring at Xia Xiaomin with a seemingly mocking smile.

This smile even scared Bun.

It directly hid behind Candy.

Then, as if sensing more safety behind Mo Jingchun, Bun swiftly ran with the leash in its mouth to Mo Jingchun’s feet.

This scene almost made Mo Jingchun laugh out loud.

The entire internal testing among Candy Technology employees, plus no attempt to keep things under wraps.

Very soon, the news got out.

A browser? No one really expected that Candy Technology, known for tech innovation, would turn around and develop a browser.

In the leaked email screenshot, even though the download link on it wasn’t censored.

A lot of netizens who entered the download link found it to be a useless address.

Actually, anyone with some common sense, or those working in software development, would instantly recognize that the link is for internal network access.

It’s not normally accessible to external personnel.

As for hacking into Candy Technology’s servers... come on, don’t be ridiculous.

To this day, no hacker has been reported to breach Candy Technology’s security firewall and download files from the server.

Some even tried to obtain the installation package from Candy Technology employees with payment.

However, what blew the netizens away was that not a single person claimed to have gotten the installation package online.

Has Candy Technology always maintained such strong confidentiality?

In fact, it can only be said that perhaps the money offered wasn’t enough.

In the HR department’s small meeting room, when Sun Yanfu was called in by HR, he already had a bad feeling.

And when Sun Yanfu entered the meeting room and saw two policemen and the distant Secretary Xia.

He didn’t realize he was already pale, with his hands and feet trembling.

He couldn’t figure out what went wrong. Why was the package he sent out corrupted and unable to install properly?

And within less than an hour, it all blew up.

Xia Xiaomin looked up at Sun Yanfu, who was standing honestly at the door.

"Sun Yanfu."

"Huh?... Xia... Secretary Xia..." Sun Yanfu stammered.

"Sun Yanfu, hasn’t the company treated you well? Why leak the company’s trade secrets?"

"Are the benefits you got from leaking email screenshots still not enough for you?"

"You even wanted to leak the installation package of Candy Browser, which is in its internal testing confidential phase, to the outside world."

"You’re a local. You should feel the changes Candy Technology has brought to Huo County."

Shaking her head, Xia Xiaomin didn’t want to elaborate on anything meaningless further.

"Sun Yanfu, I’m officially informing you; you’re fired."

In the next moment, the two police officers stepped forward.

"Sun Yanfu, you are under arrest for leaking company data and violating..."

Being taken away, Sun Yanfu offered no resistance, looking utterly defeated.

Resistance? Sun Yanfu gave a wry smile.

If the company didn’t have evidence, would they have called the police?

That afternoon, the CEO’s office issued a notice about Sun Yanfu breaching company interests by leaking trade secrets.

Needless to say, making an example out of someone like this has proven effective throughout time and circumstances.

Employees who initially had some little schemes thoroughly abandoned their plans.

No one wants to joke around; if you spend even two years inside, by the time you’re out, you’re already out of touch with society.

At that point, finding another good job seems a far-off chance.

And most importantly, having a record would affect the future of one’s children.

A week later, the internal test concluded, and Zero received over five thousand suggestions.

Based on their reasonableness, Mo Jingchun instructed Zero to optimize Candy Browser further.

Candy Browser was upgraded to version 1.01.

The employees whose suggestions were adopted received their bonus on the same day.

Not long after, while the buzz was still around.

Candy Technology announced the public testing time.

Limited slots, first come, first served.
