Chapter 118: Starting a Live Stream?

An ominous premonition rose in his heart.

Chen Guangke swallowed hard and asked in a trembling voice, "What new feature do you want to add?"

Shen Yan gave a confident smile and spat out two words.

"Live streaming."

Shen Yan's vision went dark; he felt as if the sky had collapsed.

"Have you lost your mind?"

"Why would a recruitment and job-seeking app add a live streaming feature?!"

It was obvious.

Chen Guangke could not understand his line of thinking.

"Don't get so worked up first. This feature isn't as scary as you think."

Chen Guangke waved his hands dismissively.

It wasn't that he found the feature scary.

It was that he found Shen Yan's idea terrifying.

Although live streaming is indeed very popular right now, not just any app can use this feature!

"Don't give me that nonsense. Just tell me, why does a recruitment app need a live streaming feature?"

"If you ask me, you should just honestly take on advertisements and operate according to the previous profit model."

Shen Yan knew Chen Guangke had the company's best interests at heart, so he wasn't angry at what he said.

"The reason I want to change the app's profit model so badly is that I don't want it to be drowned out by other similar apps."

Their app had only been out for a short while, yet it had already attracted over a million base users.

With these stats, how could 'Prosperous Appointment' possibly be drowned out by other similar apps?

Old Shen was simply talking nonsense!

This was what Chen Guangke thought.

"With the current trend of 'Prosperous Appointment', it's absolutely impossible for it to be drowned out by other similar apps. You're overthinking it."

Shen Yan shook his head.

Chen Guangke still lacked a bit of foresight.

"Do you know why Prosperous Appointment was able to gain such a large base of users as soon as it was released?"

Chen Guangke raised his chin proudly.

"Why else? Because the app we made is good!"

Shen Yan nodded and probed further, "Then tell me, what makes our app so good?"

Chen Guangke smoothly listed several of the app's strengths.

"First, our app's interface is very clean. Second, its features are very comprehensive. Most importantly, we can effectively filter out those harassing companies."

Shen Yan hummed in agreement.

"Everything you said is correct, but those strengths aren't the main reason they chose our app."

"I've carefully analyzed the data of these base users. Most users chose us because our company has no ads and doesn't require a membership."

Before he could finish, Chen Guangke hurriedly interrupted, "But we can't keep losing money making software forever."

"We don't have to set up a membership system, but we definitely have to take on ads."

"Tsk!" Shen Yan gave Chen Guangke's foot a light kick. "I haven't even finished speaking yet. Why are you in such a hurry to interrupt?"

"We certainly can't make software at a loss, but if we rely solely on ads, we won't be able to earn more than other similar apps."

"In order to maximize the app's value, changing our profit model is our best option."

Chen Guangke still felt that Shen Yan's attempt was too risky.

They could try changing the profit model, but wouldn't adding a live streaming feature be too useless?

He voiced his doubts.

Shen Yan's answer was very direct.

"Whether it's useful or not, won't we know once we see the data after implementing it?"

"If it really turns out to be useless then, we'll just remove the feature."

"The app is in our hands anyway. As long as we want to change it, we can do so at any time."

Since things had reached this point, Chen Guangke felt he had nothing left to say.

"Fine. Since you're insisting on adding the live streaming feature, I won't try to talk you out of it anymore. We'll let the data decide when the time comes."

Shen Yan raised an eyebrow. "Alright, then we'll let the data decide."

The new plan was set.

Chen Guangke didn't stay in the office any longer.

He picked up the documents in his hand and placed them on Shen Yan's desk.

"These documents are also user feedback. Take a look if you have time."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

"Wait, why are you in such a hurry to leave? I have something else I want to ask you."

Chen Guangke turned around and asked, "What do you want to ask?"

Shen Yan put on a gossipy expression.

"Aren't you trying to pursue Xiao Wu? How's the progress?"

At the mention of this, Chen Guangke immediately felt a sense of despair.

"Don't even mention it! I don't know how I offended her, but no matter what excuse I use to ask her out, she refuses to come."

"Do you think she already knows my intentions and is intentionally avoiding me to reject me?"

Shen Yan thought for a moment and felt it was unlikely.

"From what I see of Xiao Wu, she doesn't seem like she knows your intentions. Could it be that your excuses aren't very good?"

Chen Guangke didn't think it was his fault.

"How is that possible?"

"My excuses are great every time!"

Shen Yan asked, "Then tell me, what excuse do you use every time you ask her out?"

Chen Guangke recalled and said, "The most recent excuse was that I wanted to watch a movie, but because it was a romance movie, I couldn't watch it alone, so I wanted her to watch it with me."

Shen Yan blinked.

"And what did she say?"

Chen Guangke gave a bitter smile. "She said I was sick in the head and trying to trick a single person like her into watching a romance movie alone."

"Hahahaha!"

Shen Yan slapped the table while laughing.

This Old Chen and Xiao Wu were too hilarious.

"Can you stop gloating over my misfortune?"

"For the sake of our many years of brotherhood, give me some good advice!"

Shen Yan nodded repeatedly.

"Don't worry, what's our relationship? I'll definitely help you."

"But... just let me laugh for a bit longer. I'll tell you after I'm done laughing."

*Knock, knock, knock.*

Before he could continue laughing, there was a knock on the office door.

"Who is it?"

"President Shen, may I come in now?"

It was Wu Ya.

Shen Yan glanced at Chen Guangke and cleared his throat before answering, "Come in."

*Creak*

The door opened, and Wu Ya looked curiously at Shen Yan, then at Chen Guangke.

"What were you two laughing about just now?"

Hearing the question, Chen Guangke panicked.

"You could hear what we were saying in the office?!"

Wu Ya said speechlessly, "If I could hear you, I wouldn't be asking what you were laughing about."

Chen Guangke breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately.

Wu Ya only heard the laughter, not the content of the conversation.

"We weren't talking about much, just the app's profit model."

Wu Ya didn't quite believe it.

She had known Shen Yan and Chen Guangke for over half a year and didn't think these two would laugh like this over an app's profit model.
