Chapter 603 - 216 Bai Weixi’s QQ Battle Robe, Jealous Little Moon_2
When Li Yuan came to find her yesterday, it was already two or three in the afternoon.
This isn’t fair!
Bai Weixi’s expression was full of grievance as she clung tightly to Li Yuan’s arm, unwilling to let go. She wanted to spend more time with the man she loved, not sit alone in an empty room.
Seeing this, Li Yuan chuckled. "My, what a strong smell of jealousy! Bai, did you secretly break the vinegar jar at home?"
With tears welling in her eyes, Bai Weixi looked at Li Yuan and hugged his arm coquettishly. "I just want you to spend more time with me, that’s all."
Li Yuan pinched Bai Weixi’s cheek and immediately lied with a straight face, offering a solemn explanation. "Bai, you know that the Zhihu website just launched. There’s a lot to handle at the company, so I can’t possibly be with you girls 24 hours a day.
"I’m at a key stage of my career right now, a truly rare opportunity. I have to work a little harder for our future.
"Later on, when we’ve earned lots of money, we can move into a real mansion—one with a private swimming pool... Hehe, then we can enjoy bathing together whenever we want..."
Bai Weixi had only been making a casual complaint. Seeing Li Yuan earnestly explain things to her and describe their beautiful future, she felt very satisfied.
"Honey, you’re already doing great. Don’t push yourself so hard. You have to take care of your body and get enough rest."
Listening to Bai Weixi’s words, Li Yuan kept the smile on his face, but inwardly he sighed.
Bai Weixi is an exceptionally intelligent girl. She’s very understanding, never throws tantrums, provides emotional support, and can be both cute and cool. She also knows how to act coquettishly... Plus, we were high school classmates, childhood sweethearts. In some ways, she’s the perfect woman every man dreams of... Otherwise, my past self wouldn’t have been strung along by her for so long.
Unfortunately...
Li Yuan chuckled and playfully squeezed Bai. "Hey, silly girl. You know better than anyone how my body is, right? With all the commotion last night, your voice was so loud I bet the neighbors next door and downstairs heard everything..."
Bai Weixi’s pretty face flushed red, and she scoffed, "You big creep, if you say another word, I’ll get really angry."
Li Yuan stretched and yawned, then said with a smile, "Alright, alright, I’ll stop. You get some proper rest at home and recuperate. You worked hard last night."
"Mhm. Honey, drive safely on your way." Bai Weixi reluctantly let go of Li Yuan’s arm.
"Don’t worry, I’m an old pro."
After leaving the residential complex, Li Yuan drove his BMW with one hand, a sigh of relief escaping him.
Except for Jiang Zhiyu, who is far away in Beijing, the other three—Zhong Tingyue, Xia Zhijin, and Bai Weixi—have temporarily accepted the situation. Although they still secretly vie for favor out of jealousy, things have generally stabilized. His romantic life during this first month of university has been a real roller coaster. The sheer richness of the experience was jaw-droppingly astonishing. At the same time, these complex relationships have drained an immense amount of his energy, leaving him weary from trying to manage everything. Thankfully, after several battlegrounds, his love life has finally, for the moment, settled down.
On the career front, Zhihu had been online for three days and had already achieved an unprecedented feat in the history of China’s internet.
In just over two days, thanks to the craze sparked by hired internet shills and the "Kan Yi Dao" feature, the total number of registered users on Zhihu had already surpassed 10,000,000. Active users over the past two days hovered around 2,000,000, which was an exceptionally high figure. The company’s main goal now was to continuously enrich the website’s content and improve the user experience to convert these new arrivals into die-hard users.
Although the current Zhihu couldn’t yet compare to industry giants like Qiandu Tieba, it had solidly secured a spot among the top ten internet forums in the country. This was already a remarkable achievement, on par with some well-established sites that had been around for years.
The costs were significant. Research and development, personnel, equipment, and especially marketing—Zhihu’s total expenses from inception to operational launch already exceeded 5,000,000.
The entrepreneurial base at the university had its installation completed yesterday. Technical tests were being run today, and it would be ready for use tomorrow. Some merchants had even started contacting the company, hoping to place ads on Zhihu to cash in on its explosive popularity, but he had politely declined.
Zhihu was only three days old. It wasn’t the right time for advertisements, which could easily disrupt the new user experience. If that led to user attrition, the losses would far outweigh the gains. Besides, advertising revenue was never his primary profit strategy. He had an entire subsequent development plan in mind. If everything went smoothly, he stood a good chance of carving out the largest slice of the internet industry’s pie.
Li Yuan didn’t head straight back to school; he went to the company first.
Having been a miserable wage slave in his previous life, he understood the mentality of employees all too well. When the boss or department head is away, people tend to let loose, and work efficiency plummets. Although Datang Technology had only been founded two months ago, signs of this were already emerging because he wasn’t at the office every day.
When the newly hired receptionist saw Li Yuan’s sudden arrival, she quickly hid her phone behind her back. Like a startled rabbit, she shot to her feet.
"Good morning, Director Li!"
Li Yuan glanced at the casually dressed receptionist and reminded her with a stern expression.
