The Xu family went bankrupt, and Xu Yao was heavily indebted. Everyone said that her rich fiancé Shen Yan was Xu Yao's last straw.
Three years later, Xu Yao, however, proactively propose...
083: Do you really not care about the old times at all?
Young programmer Gu Jun has been very busy these past two days. New features have been launched on the short video APP, and Gu Jun always personally monitors this every time.
It is only basic that the technology is correct; the main thing is the user experience.
MCN agencies and influencers are nothing to Huahu; its users are its most important asset. Gu Jun's mantra is, "Once a user downloads our app, we want them to be inseparable from it. Any abandonment is a failure for us." This statement has been repeated so often that it has become a company-wide consensus.
Entrepreneurship requires obsession, and Gu Jun is just that. Back in school, he'd constantly wrestle with the same wrong question, never moving on to the next thing until he'd thoroughly understood it. This obsession and rigor carried over into his work, sometimes to the point of being unbearable for those around him.
Jiang Zhiyan is one of them.
After working overtime for two consecutive days, Jiang Zhiyan really wanted to leave work early. He couldn't help but care about Gu Jun's private life: "You haven't left work early for two days. Don't you need to go home to be with your wife?!"
Normally, Jiang Zhiyan was afraid that Gu Jun would have a love-crazy attack. At this moment, Jiang Zhiyan prayed that Gu Jun’s love-crazy attack would come soon!
Gu Jun didn't even raise his head. "Xu Yao has been very busy these past two days. If I go back too early, there will be no one at home."
Gu Jun wasn't sure whether Xu Yao was really busy or making excuses to avoid him. Anyway, two days ago he said that they wanted to be a real couple, and Xu Yao seemed scared?
Gu Jun can use algorithms to handle many things, but algorithms cannot help him manage his marriage. He has a good impression of Xu Yao, but whether Xu Yao feels the same way, Gu Jun has no answer yet!
Jiang Zhiyan muttered, "No matter how busy I am, I can't ignore you... No, you can't ignore your wife just because you're busy with work. You can make endless money, but a wife is a living creature with legs. If you treat her badly, she'll run away!"
Gu Jun paused.
He gave Xu Yao two days to think about it, is that enough time?
Xu Yao always said that communication is the most important thing for a couple, and they should share their ideas with each other. Gu Jun is still learning about this, and Xu Yao herself cannot be hypocritical.
"You're right, I'm leaving get off work early today."
Jiang Zhiyan was ecstatic. Once Gu Jun left, he could leave too!
Gu Jun closed his computer and told Jiang Zhiyan, "I'm leaving now. You stay in the company. If you have any questions about the new features, please contact me immediately."
As soon as the smile appeared on Jiang Zhiyan's lips, it froze.
——So whether Gu Jun goes home or not, it does not change the outcome of his staying in the company?
Jiang Zhiyan really wanted to slap himself twice!
Jiang Zhiyan wanted to plead with Gu Jun, but Gu Jun had already stood up and left.
Gu Jun decided to go to the fruit store himself to pick some strawberries for Xu Yao to take back.
…
"Sister Xu Yao, the response to our second video was also very good!"
Xiaoling compiled the data into an analysis table for Xu Yao to review. "I contacted all the makeup brands that appeared in the video. Three brands were very interested in our video content and wanted us to help them with individual promotions in the same format."
Xu Yao came forward to carefully look at the data compiled by Xiaoling, and couldn't help but smile: "Huahu is indeed a big platform!"
The promotion fee given by the cosmetics brand is much higher than before Xu Yao changed her position.
Xu Yao has only posted two makeup self-portrait videos, and accounts imitating the content of her videos have already emerged on the platform.
Xiaoling was very nervous at first, but she felt relieved after looking at several accounts.
It’s actually not that difficult to paint with makeup products, the difficult part is to paint well!
Of course, the short video platform is full of talented people and there is no shortage of painting masters, but it is not easy to find someone who is good at painting and as beautiful as Xu Yao. At least Xiaoling hasn't found one yet.
Xu Yao wasn't without concerns, but she knew it was pointless. Copyright protection was difficult to come by on short video platforms like this, and she couldn't stop releasing new videos for fear of imitation. The best way to deal with imitators was to stay ahead of them and always be the one that kept netizens fresh and new!
Seeing some imitators emerging on the platform, Xu Yao had a new idea to hype up the platform, and she has been thinking about it these two days.
If Xu Yao doesn't devote her energy to work, her mind will be scattered, and she can't help but think about what Gu Jun said that night - Gu Jun said they wanted to be a real couple!
Before Gu Jun brought up the matter, Xu Yao was quite open and natural with him. But once it was brought up, Xu Yao felt a little awkward staying in the same room with Gu Jun.
"Sister Xu Yao?"
Xiaoling waved her hand and asked, "Have you been feeling unwell these past two days? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Xiaoling has noticed that Xu Yao has been distracted while working these past two days.
Xu Yao came back to her senses. "I'm not feeling unwell. I just... I'll go home early today. I'll be fine after a good day of rest."
Xu Yao knew that she couldn't avoid facing Gu Jun forever.
Gu Jun was learning to communicate with her, and she couldn't imitate Gu Jun's previous behavior.
Xu Yao secretly made up her mind to have a deep talk with Gu Jun tonight to see if Gu Jun had changed his mind.
If Gu Jun still remains true to his original intention, then she has to give him a reply.
That afternoon, Xu Yao received calls from Wen Yiyi and Shen Yan respectively. She didn't want to say anything more to them and hung up the phone directly.
Unexpectedly, when Xu Yao returned to Shenghai Garden, Wen Yiyi and Shen Yan were waiting at the gate of the community.
Xu Yao suddenly felt nauseous.
Wen Yiyi's expression is particularly funny. Sometimes she looks aggrieved, sometimes she looks fierce, and the two expressions alternate on her face.
Chen Yan's face was solemn, with accusations against Xu Yao hidden in his eyes. He seemed unable to understand how he and Xu Yao had come to this point.
"What a rare visitor."
Xu Yao spoke without waiting for the other two to finish their words. "You're not here to see me, are you? If you're looking for my husband to help with the land purchase, I urge you to hold back. My husband is just an ordinary programmer and can't get involved in something as big as a company buying land. I'm afraid if he tries to help beyond his capabilities, he might be laid off by his boss and go home before he even turns 35!"
Wen Yiyi thought of Wen Zhicheng and Shen Yan's tough attitude, and she gritted her teeth and said "I'm sorry" to Xu Yao. These three words sounded like the buzz of a mosquito when they came out of Wen Yiyi's mouth. Before Xu Yao could say anything, Wen Yiyi was already wishing she could crawl into the ground.
——She actually apologized to Xu Yao! She had suffered such a great injustice for the family business!
Xu Yao could guess Wen Yiyi's inner thoughts with her toes. Wen Yiyi apologized reluctantly, so did she have to accept it?
Xu Yao looked at Chen Yan, who looked a bit embarrassed: "Xu Yao, do you really not care about our old friendship at all?"
"I don't think I've done anything wrong to you. It was you who ignored my attempts to keep me and insisted on breaking off the engagement, then turned around and married another man. If you were me, would you have happily accepted that? I'm also human, and I also have resentment and resentment, which is why I said and did those things."
In broad daylight, Chen Yan stood at the gate of the community and analyzed his inner thoughts to Xu Yao.
Occasionally, residents of the community would come in and look at Xu Yao with a bit of curiosity.
Xu Yao was not led astray by Chen Yan.
The dispute between her and Shen Yan had nothing to do with Gu Jun, and Shen Yan could take it out on her if he was angry.
At the same time, Xu Yao was also very curious about one thing, "Did you know a long time ago that your family was going to bid for the land with Uncle Wen? I want to know, when the Shen and Wen families had the idea of cooperation, did I break off the engagement with you?"
Chen Yan was considering his answer, and Xu Yao looked at him intently: "Don't lie, I will look down on you even more if you lie."
