Bai Ru arrived as promised very quickly.
When she saw Zhao Chen again, she could hardly believe it. The handsome young man she once knew had become such a ruthless person.
She had heard about the Zhao family's situation, and in fact, she had already met and spoken with Zhao Chen before he returned.
The Bai family had already established a very good working relationship with Zhao Chen, and they were also aware of the Shen family's stance. Therefore, they had previously stated that if the Zhao family had any issues they couldn't resolve, they were willing to lend a hand.
They're gambling, placing bets in advance.
The Bai family has always been like this, acting rather aggressively. And here comes the high-risk, high-reward approach – the rewards are here!
They had become Zhao Chen's allies beforehand, and now that they were reaping the benefits, Zhao Chen would naturally think of them as well.
"I never expected this, my dear brother, you're so amazing!"
"Now you are the prodigy of the Zhao family. I'm glad I placed my bet in advance and partnered with you."
"Otherwise, it would be very difficult to have this kind of in-depth cooperation with you now, wouldn't it?"
"At the very least, a higher price will have to be paid."
Zhao Chen couldn't help but smile when he saw the mature and capable Bai Ru:
"Sister Bai Ru, you're still as charming as ever! You flatter me. I just did it on a whim."
Upon hearing Zhao Chen's words, Bai Ru couldn't help but roll her eyes playfully.
"You still do things casually? Do you know that many people in the capital are now keeping their distance from you?"
"People say your methods are too ruthless; most people wouldn't dare to cooperate with you."
"That is, me, because I have been working with you for a long time, I already know your character."
“If I hadn’t pushed you to this point, you wouldn’t have resorted to such ruthless tactics.”
"Those people, they really have no self-awareness at all."
"However, you are quite impressive. You have kept your company well hidden. They have no idea how powerful you are."
Bai Ru knew some of Zhao Chen's background; at the very least, she was well aware that the Penguin and Legend Games projects were under Zhao Chen's name.
He just didn't make a fuss about it.
As a result, Zhao Chen, who was previously unknown, has now become famous overnight.
Of course, Zhao Chen's fame also came from the second and third generation circles in Beijing.
After all, only these people know what he did.
But even this alone has made him famous.
Therefore, Bai Ru easily learned about Zhao Chen's recent situation.
Upon hearing Bai Ru's words, Zhao Chen smiled again:
"Sister Bai Ru, let's get straight to the point and quickly draft the next cooperation plan."
"Let's stick to the old way, since we can all make money together."
"Moreover, your Bai family has made significant achievements on the internet."
"All we're missing is a guide."
Hearing Zhao Chen say that, Bai Ru couldn't help but become serious:
"Okay, we'll do it your way."
"Coincidentally, I can also benefit a lot from this collaboration, including profit sharing."
"Hehe, thank you in advance, sister, for helping me make a fortune."
Zhao Chen didn't act coy:
"That's what you deserve. Even if I wanted to develop this quickly before, it wouldn't have been so smooth without the Bai family's influence on the internet."
"We are mutually beneficial and win-win in our cooperation."
Hearing this, Bai Ru felt very pleased and happy. She couldn't help but ask:
"So, what's next?"
Now that you've completed some of the most important projects, what's your next goal?
"In today's internet world, I don't know of any other ideas that can generate money as quickly as yours."
Zhao Chen smiled and then took out the two plans he was holding:
"Search engines, audio and video software."
Upon seeing these two projects, Bai Ru's eyes lit up:
"I know about search engines. There was a guy named Li who wanted to invest in us before."
"However, after I learned that you had this idea, I refused. I guess he'll find some other big shots to invest in him."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Chen's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked Bai Ru for the other person's name. Sure enough, it was the tycoon who made his fortune through search engines in his previous life.
Zhao Chen tapped the table lightly and said with a smile, "So it was him! This kid can be used. We'll see how things go. If he's willing to cooperate, then I'll say I'll use him too."
"If that doesn't work, then they'll be our rivals."
"Suppress them directly!"
Zhao Chen was like that; when facing those big shots from his past life, he would naturally cooperate with those who could.
If cooperation is not possible, then nip it in the bud; he wants that market!
That's why Zhao Chen is now doing so well in all his projects.
Bai Ru, however, immediately became interested upon hearing Zhao Chen's words:
"What, is this kid really that good? To have attracted so much of your attention?"
Zhao Chen raised an eyebrow at this moment: "If it's about search engines, without me, he would probably be the best in this field in this country."
"A search engine is a must, and we can use it to do many more things in the future."
"Audio and video software is divided into music and video software, but this is a long-term issue."
"My suggestion is to buy them all while their copyrights are very cheap now, whether it's music or film and television works."
"The government will eventually take measures to maintain legitimate versions of software."
"Buying it now is a steal; later, it will be incredibly expensive."
Bai Ru was taken aback when she heard Zhao Chen say that.
Because she knew very well that most people were listening to pirated versions of music.
However, Zhao Chen didn't care, since that amount of money was nothing to him anyway.
He'd do it even if it were free. The most important thing is to grab the traffic and the market share first!
Nowadays, in everything we do, seizing the initiative is paramount.
This reminded him of his past life, where he earned his first fortune by selling pornographic films, which led to his wealth.
Then, through his hacking skills, he made one breakthrough after another, eventually becoming the richest super hacker in the field.
Now he can use all of these technologies openly and legitimately.
Bai Ru, on the other hand, has gained more influence in the Bai family now that she's tied to him.
It has to be said that she was truly grateful to Zhao Chen.
However, it's a win-win situation for Zhao Chen as well.
This older sister is pleasing to the eye, capable, and can be used like a servant. Why not?
Zhao Chen usually just offers some ideas and sets a general direction, leaving the specific implementation to Bai Ru.
This mature woman is a capable person, so she will naturally handle everything for him.
With this collaboration, Zhao Chen's support in Beijing has become even stronger.
Next came the day when the Zhao family would hold a ceremony for him to be recognized as a member of their ancestral clan.
