96: Chapter 96 Short Video Opening

As night had just fallen, Liu Yifei arrived at Chen Mo's private estate, wearing a red and white Hanfu dress.

Holding up the hem of her skirt, Liu Yifei circled Chen Mo twice:

"How do I look in this? Nice, right? I had a tailor make it; I spent several days thinking about the design."

Chen Mo stepped aside to let her in:

"It looks great. Come on in, dinner is already prepared."

Beside the dining table in the living room, a table full of dishes steamed with heat. Liu Yifei covered her mouth slightly and said:

"Why did you make so many dishes?"

The two sat down, and Chen Mo began:

"Apart from the role you just auditioned for, do you have any other arrangements?"

Liu Yifei said while picking up some food with her chopsticks:

"No, I've been resting for a long time. No good scripts have come my way."

"That's perfect then."

Chen Mo put down his chopsticks and said:

"I have a new project and I'm short on people. I need you to help me."

Liu Yifei looked up abruptly:

"Me? I can't do that! I don't understand business, and I'm no good at management either."

"You don't need to understand the technical side, nor handle complex management."

Chen Mo said with a smile:

"After the project launches, just help me keep an eye on the people and handle the daily trivia. Just make sure nothing goes wrong."

Liu Yifei said:

"Alright then, I'll do my best. Just don't scold me if I don't do well."

She had thought it was an important position, but it turned out to be just handling miscellaneous tasks. That was fine; being a mascot wasn't a problem.

Chen Mo smiled and shook his head, saying:

"I'll pay you thirty million a year, plus five percent equity in Tianxing Video."

"Thirty million? And equity?"

Liu Yifei sat up straight, looked at him, and touched her chin, saying:

"You're not joking, are you? You're giving me money and shares just for helping with some Miscellaneous tasks!"

"I'm not joking at all."

Chen Mo picked up a piece of beef for her and said:

"Just help me keep a good watch over the company. You don't need to worry about anything else. Take what's given to you; you deserve it."

Liu Yifei nodded and said:

"Don't worry, I'll definitely do a good job."

Then, she picked up the piece of beef Chen Mo had given her and started eating.

After dinner, the two chatted a lot more. Looking at this white moonlight from his past life, Chen Mo's heart was filled with emotion.

After Liu Yifei left, Chen Mo continued with his research.

A few days later, there was a lot of news online about Liu Yifei's successful audition and her new movie soon starting production.

Another two days passed, and Zhang Kai came to the estate to find Chen Mo, saying:

"Boss Chen, good news!"

Chen Mo was watching the news in the living room. He looked up upon seeing Zhang Kai and said:

"Judging by your expression, has the software testing been completed?"

"Yes!"

Zhang Kai nodded and said:

"All tests are normal. The venue for the launch, the personnel, and the promotional materials are all ready. We're just waiting for your word; we can launch anytime."

Chen Mo smiled and nodded:

"Well done. Let's launch in three days. Keep an eye on the promotion and personnel to ensure nothing goes wrong."

Before Zhang Kai arrived, Chen Mo had already seen the news: someone planned to invest in a competitor to get a share of the short video market.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Chen Mo's mouth. He wouldn't leave this opportunity for others.

"Also, make sure the Tianxing Video trademark is properly registered. Don't let any slip-ups happen."

Chen Mo added another instruction.

"Don't worry, Boss Chen!"

Zhang Kai replied:

"We've already sent someone to handle the trademark registration. There won't be any problems. Everything is ready; we're just waiting for the right moment."

Chen Mo nodded. With Zhang Kai around, he could save a lot of worry.

However, trouble soon arrived, and it came from Yang Mi.

During this period, Yang Mi had seen many rumors online about Liu Yifei and Chen Mo, which had already made her uncomfortable.

Later, seeing the promotional posters for Tianxing Video everywhere, plastered across major media websites, made her feel even worse.

She didn't believe she was inferior to Liu Yifei in any way!

Chen Mo had never mentioned such a big project to her. Did he not trust her?

After agonizing for a long time, Yang Mi found an excuse and hurried to Chen Mo's villa.

She knew that even if Chen Mo and Liu Yifei had a relationship, she had no right to criticize. Chen Mo had never given any of them official status—her, Dilraba Dilmurat, Guli Nazha, they were all the same.

As soon as she entered, without sitting down, Yang Mi looked directly at Chen Mo and said:

"Chen Mo, don't you trust me anymore?"

Chen Mo put down his phone, looked up at her, slightly surprised that she had come alone:

"Where are Dilraba Dilmurat and Guli Nazha? Why didn't they come with you?"

"They're busy and couldn't get away."

Yang Mi pouted, with a hint of behave in a spoiled manner:

"Don't change the subject. Tell me, don't you trust me?"

"Of course I trust you. How could I not trust you!"

Chen Mo smiled and said:

"If I didn't trust you, would I have given you so many resources and benefits? I'm not someone who hands out favors casually."

Yang Mi was taken aback for a moment. Thinking about it, it was true. Although Chen Mo sometimes didn't see them for long periods, the resources he provided were things others couldn't even beg for.

She then continued:

"Then why didn't you tell me about your new company!"

"You mean the short video platform under Tianxing Video?"

Chen Mo said.

"Yes, that's the one."

Yang Mi nodded.

Chen Mo smiled but didn't speak.

"What are you smiling at? Say something!"

Yang Mi pressed.

"This matter isn't something you can be involved in."

Chen Mo said in a calm tone.

Although Yang Mi felt unhappy inside, she held back her frustration and said with Wronged:

"I didn't want to be involved. I just wanted to remind you that Liu Yifei isn't a good person. Don't let her fool you."

Chen Mo, somewhat exasperated, stood up and gave her a light flick on the forehead:

"Just behave yourself!"

"Alright, alright, I won't say anymore, okay? I just wanted to come and talk to you."

Yang Mi said, rubbing her forehead.

Three days later, Tianxing Short Video, under Tianxing Video, officially launched.

As per Chen Mo's request, the promotion was overwhelming, with major media outlets coming to report.

The originally arranged hall was insufficient due to the large crowd, so an outdoor area was added.

Everyone was watching Chen Mo.

Media from Dragon Country all came, and major media from the United States and other Western countries were also present.

Chen Mo hadn't originally planned to attend, but Zhang Kai said that to build momentum, he didn't need to go on stage; just showing up would be enough.

As soon as Chen Mo arrived, thunderous applause erupted at the scene.

Many celebrities who hadn't been invited also came to Riding the wave.

Yang Mi, Dilraba Dilmurat, and Guli Nazha also came. They understood very well what this project meant.

Deng Chao and Hu Ge also came, sitting in the guest seats.

Unlike the launch of Old Jia's LeEco, Zhang Kai had only invited Deng Chao and Hu Ge.

The three of them, Yang Mi and the others, had come to watch the spectacle, wanting to prove themselves.

Old Jia and his wife, Gan Weiwei, also came.

Hearing that Chen Mo had launched a short video company, Old Jia wanted to see if there was any possibility of cooperation.

Chen Mo sat in a corner, bowing looking at Tianxing Live on his phone.

The live stream chat kept scrolling non-stop:

"It's starting! Tianxing Short Video is launching, and the scene is absolutely packed!"

"Wow, over a hundred million downloads already? It's this Popular right after launch? Boss Chen is really amazing!"

"Yang Mi, Dilraba Dilmurat, and Guli Nazha are all here? The three beauties in the same frame, that's something else!"

"Deng Chao and Hu Ge are here too! This lineup of spokespeople, only Boss Chen could pull this off!"

"Western media is here too? Looking at their expressions, they're probably here to cause trouble, right?"

"Yang Mi was just talking to Boss Chen. Is she jealous? Hahaha, what a Shura Field!"

"Liu Yifei is the spokesperson? Her luck is too good. Clinging to Boss Chen's thigh, she's going to skyrocket! Truly the The blood bank of the entertainment industry!"

"Boss Chen has such an aura even sitting in the corner. As expected is the world's richest man!"

"Western media better not cause trouble! You can't afford to mess with Boss Chen's strength!"

"Downloads are still skyrocketing! At this rate, isn't it going to break records?"
