Forced Me to Regress, Huh?

The young and successful Cheng Zhu came across a question online: If you were given a chance to go back in time and start over, would you take it?

As someone known in his circle for being the...

Chapter 639: New Year's Eve with Lin Lu

Chapter 639: New Year's Eve with Lin Lu

[Youqu] became a pre-installed APP on a certain Xiaomi mobile phone, but it did not carry out any large-scale publicity to the outside world.

On this special day of New Year's Eve, mobile phone sales will be much better.

Because of its high cost-effectiveness, it is the first smartphone for many people.

After purchasing it, many people will definitely "play with it" carefully with a sense of novelty.

And [Youqu] will come into view at this moment.

In fact, is pre-installing software on mobile phones considered cheating?

It does count.

But in reality, it can only contribute tens of millions of downloads in a year.

If an APP spends more money and promotes it more, it is not difficult to get tens of millions of downloads.

Cheng Zhu's thought was: "For a rubbish like Paipai, doesn't it have tens of millions of registered users?"

However, the retention rate is not that high, not to mention the number of daily active users.

He sees that the data released by current short video platforms are generally monthly active users, rather than daily active users.

There's nothing I can do. My daily activities are not good enough.

"Only the monthly active data can be used to fool people." He despised in his heart.

As for the retention rate of [Youqu], there is naturally no need to worry too much.

This thing, it's easy to get addicted as you keep using it.

Over time, it may even become a part of your personal habits.

When you don’t know what to do during fragmented time, you can open it and browse for a while.

Even if I brush it for a long time, it seems that I don’t know what I am brushing.

Just brush it!

"In short, this kind of pre-installation method cannot make ordinary apps become popular overnight."

“But apps with excellent product quality can slowly take off over a sustained period of time!”

Cheng Zhu is looking forward to the next few months.

There is a saying: Your enemy may know you better than you know yourself.

Cheng Zhu never paid too much attention to [Pai Pai] from beginning to end, but [Pai Pai] always regarded him as an imaginary enemy and kept an eye on the movements of [Youqu].

Zhao Qing even set up a special team.

This information team was separated from the original department. Originally, this department was responsible for collecting relevant information from a number of friendly competitors. Now these people are only responsible for keeping an eye on [Youqu]!

And this all-round surveillance actually made them discover that [Youqu] was making big moves in secret!

Now is the age of big information, and many people are willing to post even the smallest things on social platforms.

Judging from the sales volume of a certain Xiaomi mobile phone, at least six-digit new mobile phones with the [Youqu] APP were sold in the past two days.

It is not difficult for the information team to capture this incident.

The team leader is no fool. He smelled something unusual at the first moment!

"It's terrible that I get treated like this!" He called Zhao Qing immediately.

Since today is New Year's Eve, Zhao Qing is having fun with a group of senior executives in the company.

After receiving the call, his expression changed suddenly.

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"Mr. Zhao, I have verified it, I am very sure!"

Zhao Qing didn't want this to be true from the bottom of his heart.

It's fake! It must be fake!

So much so that he even wanted to buy a Xiaomi phone himself right now to verify its authenticity!

This was a situation he had never imagined before.

He initially thought: “Mr. Lei will definitely advertise Youqu in the App Store.”

He felt that this alone was a bit tricky.

After all, there are too many Xiaomi users now!

During this period, the shipment volume of this mobile phone has been ranked first in the country!

If you continue to drive traffic to [Youqu] in the app store, it will be a huge boost to an APP.

But who would have thought that he would do something so fucking unconventional!

"No! This is too much!" Zhao Qing was so angry that he wanted to stand up and stomp his feet.

How come it's pre-installed?

He racked his brains but couldn't figure it out.

Where the hell did this trick come from, and how did he do it?

"Mr. Lei has invested in so many Internet companies, why can he get such treatment at this stage?" Zhao Qing was so jealous that he wanted to go crazy.

In the end, he relied on his own imagination to rationalize it.

"Could it be that it's because of the big shot behind him?" He couldn't think of any other reason.

For a moment, he felt as if there were rolling dark clouds looming over him.

He thought he had seen the blue sky through the clouds, but in fact there was still fog that he could not see!

But Zhao Qingjing calmed down and thought about it carefully, and felt that it was still not right.

It always feels more like a pure business cooperation.

Puzzled, he walked to a secluded place, picked up a cigarette, lit it and called Shang Qi.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a little palpitation.

This made him unable to help but take a deep puff of his cigarette.

To put it in a non-mainstream way, it's as if the smoke is being carved into your lungs!

"Hello, what's wrong?" Shang Qi's voice came.

Zhao Qing was about to open his mouth when he started coughing violently for some reason.

He coughed for a full twenty seconds, and when he spoke again, his voice was a little hoarse.

"Something went wrong. [Youqu] was pre-installed on Xiaomi phones."

Zhao Qing felt like his throat was a little strained when he spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, he clearly heard the sound of a chair dragging on the ground, as if Shang Qi suddenly stood up.

"What!? Pre-installed?" His voice rose a few notches.

Then, he asked a question that Zhao Qing thought was extremely stupid.

“Is it pre-installed on every phone?”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qing couldn't help but curse several times in his heart.

But he also knew very well that when people's emotions were fluctuating greatly, they would sometimes ask nonsense questions.

"Yes!" he replied through gritted teeth.

Shang Qi responded with silence.

Two men who love to brag whenever they sit together, and they can usually talk about everything.

At this moment, they all held their phones tacitly and didn't say a word for a long time.

This is the pressure that Cheng Zhu put on them.

The pressure is coming!

On the other side, Xinhang Apartment.

Cheng Zhu didn't pay much attention to [Pa Pai] at all.

In his eyes, there is only one opponent - [Block Hand]!

As for Shang Qi and Zhao Qing, they will just be crushed in the process of the company's growth.

If he knew that these bastards regarded him as their rival, he would definitely laugh out loud.

"Who the hell are you? Do you think you can be my opponent?"

At this moment, he was sitting on the carpet in the living room of Xinhang Apartment, playing Lego with his girlfriend.

This was the New Year's Eve gift he bought for Lin Lu, a Lego Disney castle.

Cheng Zhu himself actually doesn't like this kind of thing.

He was very impatient about that.

This is true whether it’s Legos or puzzles.

And he doesn't seem to be good at it.

But although the deer looks clumsy, it is very efficient in building Lego or jigsaw puzzles.

She can also complete a jigsaw puzzle with tens of thousands of pieces independently and very quickly.

As for the gift she gave to Cheng Zhu, it was a large trendy toy doll from [Botte].

According to her, she participated in the design of this doll with a pig nose.

Cheng Zhu couldn't help but complain: "The only thing you designed was the nose, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Lu immediately looked at him with extremely horrified eyes.

It’s over, it seems like he has me figured out, he can guess everything at once!

Throughout the entire Lego building process, Cheng Zhu was almost always causing trouble, and towards the end, he even started to mess things up on purpose.

"Oh, that's not how you spell it!" Lin Lu repeatedly criticized.

But she doesn't find him annoying.

On the contrary, the stinky little deer was quite happy, or to be exact, very proud.

"Finally, I'm better than him in one way or another. Much better than him! Hehehe!" Her invisible little tail was about to reach the sky.

Time passed and soon it was past eleven o'clock.

If he hadn't been accompanying her, Cheng Zhu would have given up fighting long ago.

Suddenly, Lin Lu put down the Lego in his hand, picked up his phone, and began to mutter: "I want to set an alarm for the New Year's Eve countdown!"

"What? Are you still counting down?" Cheng Zhu was puzzled.

"Yes! Don't you think this is very ceremonial?" Lin Lu asked back.

"But when other people count down, a group of people usually gather together, like outside a shopping mall watching a big screen or something like that, and there are only the two of us in the room." He became more and more confused.

"So you want to shout with me?"

"It's so funny. How did you get involved in this?" Cheng Zhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. That wasn't what he meant at all.

"I don't care. I will definitely count down anyway." said the energetic girl.

When the dog man heard this, he suddenly thought of something and immediately became excited.

He started to do bad things and set a trap for the dairy deer.

"Come on, come on, you'll definitely forget it by then," he said.

"How is that possible? I've set the alarm!"

"What's the use? You set the alarm in the morning, but you never heard it? You still slept so soundly." Cheng Zhu complained.

"But I'm not sleeping now!" Lin Lu was furious.

"What if no one shouts?" Cheng Zhu asked.

"It's not a puppy! I'm barking like a dog for you to hear!" Lin Lu became even angrier.

"Okay, you said."

"You're crazy. I feel like you're being weird." She frowned and retorted.

The dog man just smiled, didn't say anything, and got up to wash some fruit.

Next, it was Lin Lu playing with Lego while he was feeding him fruits.

"Ah——!" The voice actress girl opened her mouth at this moment, indicating that she had finished the strawberry in her mouth.

Cheng Zhu picked up a strawberry and put it to her mouth.

When she put her little face close to eat the strawberry, he pulled his hand back and kissed her.

The sudden situation made Lin Lu a little confused.

But she always wants to be kissed and loves to be kissed.

Soon, she was immersed in it, closing her eyes and casually putting the Lego in her right hand back on the coffee table.

Today, she is wearing a simple grey hooded sweatshirt.

After kissing for a while, the two of them somehow ended up lying together on the sofa in the living room.

Lin Lu raised her hands and hugged Cheng Zhu's neck.

Sometimes, some subtle moans would flow out of the voice actor's throat.

For Cheng Zhu, he doesn't want to celebrate New Year's Eve tonight.

The loose grey sweatshirt was rolled up and stuck just below the collarbone.

Cheng Zhu could feel it.

In an instant, he felt the mystery.

It is an indescribable feeling.

Not long after, Lin Lu's cell phone alarm started ringing.

This means that the time has come to 11:59 and the New Year is coming soon.

The tall and strong Cheng Zhu reached out and took the phone.

After getting the phone, he put it next to Lin Lu's cheek and stared at the time.

"Do you want to continue the countdown?" he asked with a smirk.

"Or as a puppy?"

A voice actor girl said that if she didn’t count down, she would bark like a dog.

Lin Lu, who was a little dazed, was stunned by his question.

"Twenty, nineteen" Cheng Zhu spoke alone.

Then, he just kept counting down while staring at Lin Lu.

The voice actor girl, who has calmed down a little, naturally doesn't want to learn to bark like a dog!

She began to count down with her voice that had a slight tail tone.

At this moment, she still foolishly thought that Cheng Zhu attached great importance to the sense of ceremony and thought it was a little romantic.

"Ten," she said.

When she uttered the last word "nine", the timbre of the first and second half was different.

She immediately couldn't help but glare at Cheng Zhu in shame and anger.

The dog man deliberately provoked her: "What's wrong, little dog Lin?"

"Seven." Cheng Zhu began to count down on his own.

Lin Lu was so angry that he followed immediately.

"six!"

Only half of the "five" she uttered was left, and she retracted the ending sound. She pursed her lips and frowned deeply, with a look of overwhelmed expression.

The countdown to the New Year is going on.

The new year was ushered in with the voice of the voice actress girl.

"Three, two, hiss! One, um"

(ps: Please give me double the monthly votes at the end of the month! If you don’t vote, it will expire~ Please give me double the monthly votes!!

By the way, after the new cards were released on Qidian, did anyone draw the welfare cards of the counselor and Lin Lu? )
