095: I want a clear answer

"HuaHu is not short of money, what about other platforms?"

Chen Yan pulled out the data he had gathered over the past few days. "Originally, the short video platform market was divided into three parts. Now Huahu has surpassed the other two. Do you think the other two platforms are anxious?"

It must be urgent.

Wen Zhicheng now found Chen Yan somewhat more pleasing to the eye, and his tone became more agreeable: "You mean, should we go and join Hua Hu's rival?"

Shen Shuping disagreed, "Three years ago, Uncle Shen Yan and his men invested in Hua Hu's rivals. The two sides fought to the death, but in the end, Hua Hu won."

Now the platform that the Shen family has their eyes on is already on the verge of collapse. Not to mention being in the top three, its user activity doesn’t even rank among the top ten of similar apps!

Although Shen Shuping has a bad relationship with Shen Boxiong and Shen Zhongjun, he still recognizes their business acumen and methods. Even Shen Boxiong and Shen Zhongjun lost to Huahu. Shen Shuping feels that the other two platforms will be swallowed up by Huahu sooner or later.

Unless he could invest in Huahu, Shen Shuping would not feel comfortable spending money.

When he thought of this, Shen Shuping felt as if he had been struck by lightning: Is this what Shen Zhongjun was thinking? !

Chen Yan was in a dilemma. "Huahu has entered a period of profitability and they will no longer accept external funding. If they don't invest in the other two platforms, they can only rely on Huahu to make a little money. Didn't Jiang Zhiyan's sister run an MCN company? She has the same idea."

Jiang Zhiyan owns Huahu, the golden rooster, and the other members of the Jiang family must be envious.

What can I do if I am envious but cannot get involved? I can only pick up some leftovers from Jiang Zhiyan’s big plate.

Shen Yan's words made Shen Shuping and Wen Zhicheng silent. After a while, Wen Zhicheng broke the silence and asked Shen Yan: "So what do you mean, should we also join that MCN company?"

Chen Yan nodded. "You and my dad can look for other investment channels. I want to start an MCN company myself. I won't follow Jiang Zhiyan's sister and only focus on the Huahu platform. I will work on all platforms that can make money."

Wen Zhicheng and Shen Shuping were relatively unfamiliar with all areas of network technology. They did not have the courage to invest large sums of money to join the new track. Shen Yan was so interested, Shen Shuping agreed to let his son try.

"I'll give you a separate sum of money—"

Before Shen Shuping could finish his words, Wen Zhicheng interrupted him, "Our two families will become one sooner or later. How can we let the Shen family pay for it alone? How about this? The Shen family and I will pay for it together and let Shen Yan test the waters. I will take a step back and let Shen Yan take Yiyi with him."

Bring Wen Yiyi with you?

Chen Yan got a headache after hearing this.

Is Wen Yiyi cut out for business?!

Seeing that Shen Yan didn't say anything, Wen Zhicheng also knew his own limitations: "Of course, the affairs of the new company are decided by you, Shen Yan. You should treat Yiyi as an ordinary employee and do whatever you tell her to do."

Shen Shuping knew that Shen Yan had a very bad opinion of Wen Yiyi, and was afraid that Shen Yan would embarrass Wen Zhicheng, so he rushed to answer for Shen Yan: "They are an engaged couple, and working together is conducive to cultivating their relationship. Let Yiyi be Shen Yan's assistant."

The assistant had no decision-making power, and could still keep Wen Yiyi under Shen Yan's watch. Shen Yan reluctantly agreed: "I will teach Yiyi well."

The decision to establish an MCN company by Chen Yan was finalized in Wen Zhicheng's study.

The three of them came out of Wen Zhicheng's study. Lin Meixian smiled and invited them to dinner. "You must be tired from talking about business. I asked Auntie to make some soup. Do you want some side dishes for you?"

"Aunt Lin, don't worry. My dad and I have things to do when we get back."

Chen Yan didn't want to talk much with Lin Meixian. Thinking about asking Xu Yao for help a few days ago, Chen Yan felt embarrassed.

Lin Meixian didn't force it. "You still have something to do? I won't force you to stay. By the way, have you figured out a solution for the land issue?"

Shen Shuping gave Lin Meixian a deep look. Wen Zhicheng stepped forward to block Shen Shuping's sharp gaze. "The land issue is a foregone conclusion. We can't compete with Huahu, so we can only let Huahu develop it themselves. It's a pity that Gu Jun is a technician at Huahu. If he could be in charge of this area, I really want to talk to him about Qinghua's idea for the development of the land back then."

There's nothing wrong with being a technician, as you can avoid getting involved in a lot of intrigue.

Lin Meixian thought so in her heart, but she followed Wen Zhicheng's words and felt sorry for Gu Jun: "How can he, a technical person, understand all this? You don't need to waste your time on him. Besides, he has been busy recently. I heard that President Jiang gave him a long vacation, and he wants to use this vacation to make up for his honeymoon trip with Yaoyao."

Lin Meixian seemed to be chatting casually, but Shen Yan felt severely stabbed.

Xu Yao just found a random man and got married quickly, but after the marriage not only did the couple live in harmony but their relationship was getting better and better. Chen Yan felt uncomfortable when he heard that.

Does Xu Yao really like Gu Jun?

What does she like about Gu Jun? Is it that Gu Jun's hard work in starting from scratch makes Xu Yao, who is in debt, feel particularly emotionally connected with him?

Chen Yan really couldn't understand it!

…

On the third day of Gu Jun's vacation, Xu Yao had not yet decided when to leave for her honeymoon, but she bought a car without Gu Jun's knowledge.

A second-hand nanny car only costs tens of thousands of yuan after the transfer of ownership, and the car is in good condition.

Xiaoling couldn't let go of the car Xu Yao bought. After taking the car keys, she kept asking, "Sister Xu Yao, is this car really mine from now on?"

Xu Yao nodded, and Xiaoling was overjoyed.

Living in a studio house without rent and driving a car bought by her boss Xu Yao, Xiaoling feels that she has already lived a life of owning a house and a car in Nancheng!

The unhappy person is Gu Jun.

He mentioned buying a car to Xu Yao several times, but Xu Yao refused with various reasons. Gu Jun wanted to mention it again after a while, but Xu Yao secretly bought the car without telling him!

Gu Jun was somewhat angry.

He could probably guess what Xu Yao was thinking. It wasn't that Xu Yao didn't want to buy a car, but that she didn't want to spend his money to buy one.

While Xiaoling was testing the car, Gu Jun asked Xu Yao, "I told you that we should be a real couple, but you didn't respond. So you haven't really considered my proposal?"

In three days, Gu Jun compiled six honeymoon itineraries. Each route was carefully considered, and no matter which one Xu Yao ultimately chose, she would have an unforgettable honeymoon trip... Perhaps his meticulously prepared honeymoon strategy was nothing to the once wealthy Xu Yao, but for Gu Jun, this was his first trip in his life!

Gu Jun felt that his seriousness was a big joke. He turned to leave when a hand grabbed his sleeve. It was Xu Yao.

"Gu Jun, do some things really need to be said so clearly?"

Xu Yao's cheeks were flushed and her eyes were watery, which made Gu Jun's heart tremble.

He told himself not to be soft-hearted. He demanded an answer almost obsessively: "I want a clear answer, no ambiguity, no guesswork."

Xu Yao tilted her head slightly and smiled. "You really don't understand romance at all. If it weren't for Grandpa Gu's plan for you, I really don't know when you would have been able to get married! If I didn't want to be a real couple with you, why would I agree to go on a honeymoon trip?"
