367: Chapter 367 Everything is Ready

Chen Guangke's eyes widened.

"At that time, our software had just launched. Where would the traffic come from?"

Shen Yan: "...You really don't understand business."

Chen Guangke pouted and said, "Do you think everyone has the skill to paint a pie? Only a born capitalist like you can paint pies!"

Shen Yan laughed while shaking his head.

"You keep calling me a capitalist, so let me ask you, have you ever read a book?"

Chen Guangke glared fiercely at Shen Yan.

"What? Are you trying to mock me for being uneducated? Don't forget, we went to the same university!"

Shen Yan smiled, "I didn't mean to mock you for being uneducated at all. I wanted to ask if you've read a book titled 'If You Can't Lead a Team, You'll Work Yourself to Death'."

"Do you think I was born knowing how to paint pies? I learned all these skills from books."

"Besides, the pies I paint can always be eaten, it's just a matter of eating them sooner or later. I don't believe our software will never get traffic."

"Simply put, I have great confidence in our software."

As soon as he finished speaking,

Chen Guangke was silent for a few seconds, then he said to Shen Yan, "The way you put it, it sounds like I have no confidence in our software."

"Of course I have confidence in our software, but the problem is that other people don't have confidence in it..."

Wu Ya interjected from the side, "Then can't you trick them into having confidence in our software? Don't forget, we are the company that created Prosperous Appointment."

"You can tell them outright that since we could create the currently viral Prosperous Appointment, we can also create a second short video software that will sweep the nation."

Chen Guangke looked at Wu Ya in horror.

"When did you become so good at painting pies like Old Shen?!"

Wu Ya rolled her eyes.

"Stop the nonsense. I've already given you the solution. What you do next is your business."

Shen Yan agreed, "That's right, we've given you the method. How you proceed is your business. I hope you can deliver a satisfactory report."

Having said that, he turned to look at Wu Ya, "As for the content creation you mentioned, my suggestion is that you can add some zero-cost promotional tactics."

"For example, you can hire some internet trolls to spread some memes, making them curious about our software, thus downloading it, and then getting hooked by our video content."

Hearing this, Wu Ya fell silent.

Although Shen Yan made it sound easy, implementing this was very difficult.

For example, where would she find the memes, and how could she ensure people remained attracted to the video content?

Seeing her continuous silence, Shen Yan asked Wu Ya, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Wu Ya shook her head.

The biggest difference between her and Chen Guangke lay here.

When Chen Guangke encountered a problem, his first reaction was to ask Shen Yan how to solve it.

But when she encountered a difficult problem, her first reaction was to think about how to do it herself, only asking Shen Yan if she absolutely couldn't figure it out.

Since Wu Ya didn't mention any issues, Shen Yan naturally didn't press further.

After giving simple instructions, he sent the two of them back to work.

...Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye,

Half a month had passed.

During this half month, Shen Yan first completed the project with Gu Hui, and then completed the project with Mei Jinning.

Now, their third project was also finished.

"I can't do it anymore... I really can't. I'm about to vomit from overtime!"

In the office, Chen Guangke was slumped over his desk, his face pale.

If one didn't know better, they would think he had been drained of his Yang energy by a demon.

"Is it really that bad just because we worked overtime continuously for half a month?"

Hearing Shen Yan's question, Chen Guangke glared angrily at Shen Yan.

"Do you think everyone is like you? Able to work overtime continuously for half a month and still stand here full of energy?!"

"I don't care. After the third project officially launches, you must give me time off—two days! No! A whole week!"

Shen Yan readily agreed.

"No problem, a week it is."

Chen Guangke looked at Shen Yan with suspicion.

"Why did you agree so readily?"

Shen Yan was exasperated, "Although you always say I have no conscience, I do have one. You and the others have worked overtime for so long; it's only right that I should give you some vacation time."

"Tell everyone else in the company that once the third project officially launches, I will let you all take turns for vacation."

Chen Guangke's eyes lit up.

"That works! You finally found your conscience. I'll go tell them right away!"

Shen Yan nodded.

"Oh, and remember to tell them they must take turns, so the company isn't left empty."

Chen Guangke waved his hand as he got up.

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

After Chen Guangke left, Shen Yan got up to pack his things and head down to the coffee shop.

Before leaving today, Yan Zheng had sent him a message and a document.

The document contained all the information Yan Zheng had managed to investigate regarding the executives of the Gu Corporation during this period.

Because the document contained too much information, and he didn't want to spend too much time on it, he only skimmed through it briefly before contacting Gu Mingming.

As soon as Gu Mingming knew he had the files, he immediately arranged to meet at the coffee shop downstairs.

If Shen Yan hadn't mentioned he had other things to do, Gu Mingming probably would have just shown up at his door.

Lost in thought, he arrived at the entrance of the coffee shop downstairs.

"Ding-a-ling!"

Entering the coffee shop, he saw Gu Mingming sitting by the window, getting up and waving at him.

"CEO Shen..."

Shen Yan nodded toward the other man.

"CEO Gu, have a seat."

After the two were seated, Gu Mingming impatiently asked Shen Yan, "That... the materials you mentioned on the phone..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Yan replied, "The materials are on my phone. Before I give them to you, I need to confirm one thing with you."

Gu Mingming nodded with a serious expression.

"Please go ahead."

Shen Yan leaned back in his chair and said, "You know I'm going to help you secure the position of Chairman of the Gu Group, right?"

Gu Mingming: "Yes, I know."

Shen Yan asked again, "Then you should know that if Gu Hui doesn't have an accident, you won't be able to take the position of Chairman of the Gu Group, right?"

This time, Gu Mingming didn't answer as quickly.

After a moment of silence, he replied to Shen Yan, "My grandfather has always disliked me because I returned to the family late. So, he dislikes me and only likes Gu Xuantian."

"If it weren't for you, I would have been thrown into some unknown corner long ago. I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Yan directly interrupted him.

"I don't want to hear all that. I just ask you one question: If something happens to him, will you turn around and come after me?"
