Confession of Rebirth

Gu Chen climbed out of the hot spring pool with a blank expression, put on his bathrobe with a blank expression, followed Zhong Lisui back to the room with a blank expression, turned on the TV with a blank expression, and watched the commercial before the show with a blank expression, He took a sip of the chilled grape juice on the table with a blank expression.He sighed silently in his heart.

This is not the same as the dating process he envisioned!

Zhong Lisui looked at Gu Chen who was lazily leaning on the sofa, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.Before the show started, I hid in the bathroom and took a cold shower.When he came out, the show had already started.

Gu Chen was sitting in front of the TV with his laptop in his arms, and he was always paying attention to the comments of netizens, as well as the data changes in the background of the stall network.

Zhong Li smiled and asked, "How is it?"

"Not bad!" Gu Chen said lightly.Looking at Zhong Lisui who had already changed into a three-piece suit, he frowned: "What are you doing?"

"Restrain myself." Zhong Lisui said solemnly.

Restrict what?Hearing this, Gu Chen subconsciously lowered his eyes.Zhong Li then uncomfortably took a pillow and put it in his arms.Watch TV without squinting.

Gu Chen raised his eyebrows.After a while, he laughed lightly.

The atmosphere in the room became ambiguous and quiet again.Except for the sound from the TV, only the breathing of two people could be vaguely heard.

In less than half an hour, Zhong Lisui had already drank four glasses of ice water in succession.While staring at the ever-increasing data in the backstage of the stall.com, Gu Chen stared at Zhong Lisui out of the corner of his eye.Couldn't help asking: "Are you thirsty?"

Zhong Lisui paused while pouring water, and said calmly, "It's okay."

Gu Chen took another look at Zhong Lisui's three-piece suit that could be called "tightly stitched": "Then are you hot?"

Zhong Lisui said again: "It's okay."

Gu Chen curled his lips: "If I were you, I would take off two pieces of clothes, maybe I won't be so hot that I'm always thirsty."

Zhong Li didn't speak.

Gu Chen suggested sincerely: "Why don't you turn on the air conditioner?"

Zhong Li then glanced at Gu Chen who was only wearing a bathrobe and looked refreshed, and shook his head.

Gu Chen couldn't help but laugh.Putting the laptop on the coffee table, he got up and walked to Zhong Lisui, pushed him down on the sofa, leaned on him, and joked with a smile: "If you do this again, I really doubt it, the two of us Is there a generation gap?"

Anyway, the date in Gu Chen's impression is not two men sitting in front of the TV watching TV.

Zhong Li put his arms around Gu Chen's waist in a panic, for fear that Gu Chen would accidentally slip down.Gu Chen raised his eyebrows, just pressed on Zhong Lisui's body, looked at Zhong Lisui who was sweating on his forehead and nose, and asked curiously: "Now, do you feel hotter?"

Zhong Lisui was more than just hot, being pressed so carelessly by his sweetheart, his whole body was about to explode.A pair of hands subconsciously protected Gu Chen's waist, feeling Gu Chen's young and hot body.My heart was beating so hard that it almost popped out of my throat.

Gu Chenshun grabbed Zhong Lisui's tie, played with his slender fingers carelessly, and was about to continue doing some outrageous moves to tease Zhong Lisui, when the phone rang suddenly.

Gu Chen frowned and got up to answer the phone.The call was from Cheng Yi, and the excitement of the person on the other side could be heard through the receiver.

"Fuck Shen Shen, you are too awesome! 10 people! A total of 10 people! From the beginning of the show to the present, the number of registered users of our booth network has increased by a full 10 people! This statistic is too awesome!"

You must know that this is the real number of people who register on the stall network with their ID card or student ID card and graduation certificate, not the virtual heads of other major social platforms who can register accounts casually.Cheng Yi and several other technical maintenance personnel of the stall network have been staring at the background data since the beginning of the show, and they were all stunned by this blowout rise.

Counting the more than 2 registered users of the stall.com before the broadcast of the show, the total number of registered users of the stall.com has exceeded 12.What does it mean for a social platform to have more than 12 active users?

Cheng Yi and the other employees of Zaishan.com were already so excited.However, Gu Chen reassured: "This is just the beginning. I believe that with the broadcast of the program, and our follow-up plan for the stall network is getting better and better, the number of users who register for the stall network will also increase. many."

"I was also worried that the website expansion we did before would be wasted. I didn't expect that it was almost not enough." Cheng Yi said with a smile: "As expected of us, Mr. Gu. The appeal is strong."

Gu Chen said: "The broadcast platform of the program "Talk" is good, and the audience audience is also consistent with the registered users of the stall network."

"That's what Mr. Gu chose." Cheng Yi said with a smile.He frowned again and worried: "However, there are so many registered users on the stall.com. If we want to maintain the normal operation of the website, the manpower and expenses required are not a small amount. It is not enough to just go out and not in. Do you want to consider making money? matter?"

After a pause, Cheng Yi added: "Recently, there are always brand owners who send emails to the email address of the stall.com, and take the initiative to propose cooperation. They want to advertise on the communication section of our website."

Gu Chen said: "Let's put the advertisement aside. Not long after the website was established, the communication area is full of advertisements, which will definitely affect the user experience. We can't lose the big because of small things."

Cheng Yi nodded.Realizing that Gu Chen couldn't see his actions, he said, "I understand. That's what I said, and I was worried that if you continue to waste like this, you will make more and more money for posting to the website."

Gu Chen smiled: "I use my own money to fund my own website. Isn't it just right and left handed?"

That's right.Cheng Yi smiled and said, "The website is developing too fast. I'm afraid that the money you earn won't keep up with the money you spend maintaining the website."

"You underestimated me, didn't you. Just spend it boldly, and I will find a way to get money." Gu Chen still had this bit of self-confidence.

The two chatted for a few more words, and Gu Chen hung up the phone.Looking back, the show was coming to an end, and it happened to be the part where the audience confessed to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen's footsteps paused slightly, feeling a little guilty for no reason.

"What's the matter?" Zhong Li who was sitting on the sofa looked at Gu Chen, smiled and patted his side: "Come and sit."

Gu sat down in silence.Zhong Li lowered his head and was peeling oranges.Gu Chen looked at the shiny green orange peel, and his stomach began to pantothenic acid.Before Zhongli could finish stripping, he couldn't help asking, "Don't you feel sour?"

"It's okay." Zhong Li replied lightly.Stuffing a piece of orange into his mouth, he added: "I'm not so sour."

Gu Chen couldn't hold back for a while, and laughed out loud: "Didn't you just say that you won't be jealous?"

"I regret it." Zhong Li then looked at Gu Chen with gentle eyes: "Although you know that others like you, you can't do anything about it. But I'm still jealous."

"So," Zhong Li traced Gu Chen's outline with his eyes, and asked, "Do you want to coax me?"

Gu Chen smiled: "How to coax?"

Zhong Li then thought about it, and tapped his lips with his fingers.

Gu Chen raised his eyebrows.Before Zhongli could speak, he leaned forward and kissed her.

Lips part at one touch.However, Gu Chen could feel Zhonglisui's warm breath and refreshing mint smell from that moment of contact.

Gu Chen narrowed his eyes, and commented boldly: "It smells like mint."

Zhong Li was a little surprised.Immediately, she stretched out her hand to hold the back of Gu Chen's head, and kissed him lightly.

After a long time, Zhong Li let go of Gu Chen, panting slightly and said, "Chen Chen, I like you very much."

"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded, "Me too."

Zhong Li then licked his lips, wanted to say something, after thinking about it, he held back and said, "It's getting late, I'm going back to my room, you should have a good rest."

Gu Chen frowned a little dissatisfied: "That's it?"

Zhong Li smiled lightly, and finally stopped restraining himself.He held Gu Chen's hand and kissed it lightly, and said implicitly: "I'm afraid if I don't leave, you won't be able to rest tonight."

Gu Chen raised his eyebrows lazily: "Everyone is an adult now."

"How old are you?" Zhong Li suddenly laughed.As a young man who has not yet reached the age of 20, Zhong Li doesn't want to take advantage of the child rashly.I also don't want Gu Chen to regret it.

"Don't worry." Zhong Lisui kissed Gu Chen's brow lightly, and it was on the verge of breaking out: "We still have a lifetime in the future. Get to know each other slowly, and get along slowly."

Gu Chen's face turned red.He snorted lightly: "You said it as if I was in a hurry!"

Zhong Li bowed his head and said with a smile, "I'm the one in a hurry."

Zhong Li then sat up straight, stood up and said, "Good night."

Gu Chen lay on the sofa without moving, and waved his hands lazily: "Good night."

After the crackling sound, there was a soft closing of the door.Gu Chen was the only one left in the room.He glanced boredly at the tight floor-to-ceiling windows that were covered by curtains.After thinking about it, he got up and opened the curtains.

In an instant, the full moonlight poured down with the gentle evening wind and the sound of fine waves.Gu Chen walked into the balcony, looked at the banana tree swaying in the wind for a while, then turned and went back to the room.

A good night's sleep.

After waking up the next day, Gu Chen habitually picked up his phone to browse the news of the day.He was shocked to find out that something happened to the department store under the Ling Group.

#玲氏商店first raises the price and then lowers the price, false discounts to deceive consumers#

Gu Chen glanced at the topic on the hot search, and clicked in with the mentality of watching the excitement.The first post turned out to be a 3-minute video.

It turned out that a consumer took a fancy to a dress last month, but was reluctant to buy it because the price was too expensive.I went to try it on several times, and secretly took a few photos.Knowing that Ling's Department Store launched a promotion with a 200% discount during the May Day holiday, the consumer rushed to the department store immediately, wanting to buy skirts.In the end, she was surprised to find that instead of reducing the price, the dress was more than [-] yuan more expensive than the last time she tried it on.Unconvinced, the consumer quarreled with the sales lady.Because she tried it many times before but didn't buy it, the sales lady has long been tired of the behavior of consumers.During the quarrel, there was nothing nice to say.The sentence "If you can't afford it, don't buy it" completely angered consumers.

After the customer came out of the department store, he became more and more angry.In the end, I took this video and posted it on the Internet to seek justice.It is said that I also went to the Price Bureau and the Consumer Association to complain.

It happens to be the golden week of May [-]st, and major shopping malls are engaging in discount promotions in order to win over consumers.Such a news about the Ling Group immediately attracted the attention of many netizens.Coupled with the fact that various scandals broke out in the Ling Group some time ago, all aspects have proved that the character of the Ling family is indeed not very good.The discount news this time became the last straw that broke the camel's camel's back, and the hot searches were full of scolding.

[Ling's Department Store simply treats consumers like idiots, and will never go there again! 】

[Is the service attitude too bad?Don't buy it if you can't afford it.Do you look down on consumers so much? 】

【I bought a pair of discounted sandals at Ling’s department store yesterday, so it’s not expensive, is it? 】

[Is it a brand?If it is a brand shoe, it is better to go to other shopping malls to compare the price.If it's expensive, return it! 】

【too disgusting!Don't fight if you can't afford a discount, isn't this a joke? 】

【When the Ling family teamed up to bully Gu Chen before, I could see that their character was not good.I didn't expect to be opportunistic in such things as discounts and promotions.Sure enough, dogs can't change eating shit. 】

[What bullying? 】Some consumers usually don't pay much attention to gossip news.They still don't know about the incidents that the Ling family caused before.

[Don't you know?It was the Ling family bullying Gu Chen.You should know who Gu Chen is, right? 】

Some people still don't know.So those who know give active science popularization to those who don't know.It didn't take long for all the netizens who were wandering on Hot Search to know how the Ling family bullied Gu Chen.By the way, all of Gu Chen's deeds were popularized.

Gu Chen shook his head, a little funny.

I don't know if this Ling's group has committed Tai Sui recently. Like this kind of discount promotion that first raises the price and then lowers the price, many merchants will do it.Everyone has long been tacit understanding.However, this time the Ling Group's petty tricks were caught by consumers, and they even took a video and posted it on the Internet to expand public opinion.

But no matter how unlucky the Ling Group is, it has nothing to do with Gu Chen.Gu Chen is only interested in such things as how to make "Ling Nan Cai".

Gu Chen took out his mobile phone and made a call: "I want to buy a follower advertisement. As long as my name is mentioned on Weibo, an official link of a stall website will be followed."

Ten years ago, this kind of follow-up advertising was not very popular.The other side of the phone didn't understand at all.After communicating with Gu Chen tremblingly for a while, he finally called the technicians.

Fortunately, Gu Chen's request was not difficult for the technicians.It only takes a few lines of code to get things done.It's just that when discussing the advertising price, the other party has a little difficulty.Because there is no precedent before, the other party has no measurable charging standard.

After a brief consideration, the other party finally decided to charge a monthly advertising fee of 10 yuan.One is to use Gu Chen's advertisement as an experiment, and the other is to thank Gu Chen for helping the platform find a new charging channel.It can be regarded as a kind of reward for half selling and half giving.

Gu Chen didn't expect the promotion fee to be so cheap, it was like picking it up for nothing.I am also very happy in my heart.As soon as he was happy, he took the initiative to disclose some matters that need attention in operation to the platform side, and the platform side was very happy to hear it.The two sides are very happy with each other.

After hanging up the phone, the person in charge of the platform kept feeling that Gu Chen was a marketing genius.On the other side, Gu Chen comfortably poured himself a glass of warm water.Waiting to see a good show.

Also waiting to see a good show are Ling Fei and his son.The second uncle of the Ling family watched Ling Xiu's every move with cold eyes, and knew that he was an idiot.But he never expected Ling Xiu to be so stupid.Even if a discount and promotional plan that was safe and secure for nothing came to Lingxiu's hands, it could cause so many twists and turns.

Even the stock price of Ling's Group dropped by a percentage point.

"How can you be so stupid!"

Inside the Ling family mansion, Chairman Ling was so angry that he yelled at Ling Xiu: "Didn't I say that you should follow the plan honestly and don't do unnecessary things. Why do you have to be clever? Why do you have to do this kind of thing?" Small gesture?"

Ling Xiu was so frightened that her tears welled up, she looked at Chairman Ling whether she wanted to cry or not.There was a moment of silence.

Mrs. Ling hugged her son distressedly, and shouted at Chairman Ling: "What are you yelling at the child? It scared him."

"A worthless bastard!" Chairman Ling snorted coldly: "If something goes wrong, he will only get into a woman's arms. What else can I expect from you?"

Chairman Ling's words are really ugly.Ling Xiu couldn't bear it for a while, and choked up.

"You still have the face to cry?" Chairman Ling's face was livid with anger, and his temples hurt: "Do you know how much trouble this incident has caused Ling's Department Store? Now the Internet is scolding Ling's Department Store for fraud. Today, the company received more than a dozen media calls, all asking the company for an explanation!"

What kind of explanation can Ling's Department Store give?It is a tacit promotion behavior in the industry. Should they stand up and tell consumers that all businesses are like this, but the promotion is different?

Wouldn't that offend the entire industry for nothing?

Seeing how his uncle was so angry that he was about to go crazy, Ling Fei couldn't help standing up and asking Ling Xiu: "Who told you that you can raise the price first and then lower it for the discount promotion?"

Ling Fei suspected that someone deliberately said such things to Ling Xiu, using Ling Xiu's hands to implement the plan, and then exposed the matter to consumers.

Chairman Ling was taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately reacted: "You mean, someone deliberately plotted against our Ling family?"

"It's not impossible." Ling Fei said.If not, with Ling Xiu's IQ and experience, it's unreasonable to think of such a thing.Besides, when I found out that there was something wrong with the promotional activities, I immediately made a video and posted it on the Internet, and I had to go to the Price Bureau and the Consumer Association to complain about this reaction. It was too coincidental and timely.

Ling Xiu's eyes lit up, as if grasping some life-saving straw, he couldn't wait to say: "Assistant Zhang from the marketing department asked me to do this. It's all his fault. He must be trying to frame our Ling's Department Store."

Chairman Ling shook his head in disappointment as he saw Ling Xiu impatiently about to throw the blame away.Regardless of whether the incident was caused by a competitor's bribery of employees to deliberately frame Ling's Department Store, Ling Xiu's performance was too irresponsible.

As a leader, if something happens and you don't want to sum up the cause and effect, you just know how to blame it.How can this kind of person convince the public?How can the people below do things in peace?

Ling Xiu didn't notice Chairman Ling's disappointment.He looked at Ling Fei with clear eyes.At this moment, I don't care about the prejudice against Ling Fei before.Thank Ling Fei in a sweet voice.He said happily: "It's lucky to have you. Otherwise, I would have been plotted by those bad guys."

Not to mention that things haven't been investigated yet.Even if it was really a black hand of a competitor, Ling Xiu has already been counted into the bones at this moment.Ling Fei was a little disapproving.In front of Chairman Ling and Mrs. Ling, he didn't reveal anything.He smiled and said, "They're all from my own family, so why not be polite."

You're welcome!

Chairman Ling glanced at his nephew.In the end, I still feel that my younger brother and nephew are more reliable than the son I just recognized.Immediately said: "Then I will leave this matter to A Fei to investigate. We must find out. I want to see who is behind our Ling family."

Ling Fei nodded: "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely find out."

However, the most urgent task is not to find out the matter.Instead, do a good job in crisis public relations.The second uncle of the Ling family looked at Chairman Ling: "Brother, didn't you say before that you want to cooperate with the marketing company under the Dazhou Group? Or let them handle the crisis public relations this time?"

The second uncle of the Ling family is highly regarded by Chairman Ling.Chairman Ling wanted to climb up the Dazhou Group, cooperate with Dazhou, and then seek to be listed on the Hong Kong stock market, and the second uncle of the Ling family was also very clear.He also felt that this approach was very beneficial to the future planning of the Ling Group, and of course he would not object to Chairman Ling's decision.

Chairman Ling heard the second uncle of the Ling family's proposal, so he immediately called Chairman Zhou.Unexpectedly, the attitude of the Dazhou Group, which was still very enthusiastic before, changed drastically.The call didn't go through until the second time.Chairman Zhou's secretary picked it up.

"Our chairman said that for a period of time in the future, all the focus of the Dazhou Group will be on the operation of the group's second Hong Kong stock listing. For other trivial matters, Chairman Ling can directly contact our subordinate companies."

What does this mean?

Chairman Ling was stunned.I wanted to ask a few more questions, but the other party had already hung up the phone.

Chairman Ling was not reconciled, and made several phone calls one after another.Finally, the call was made to the major shareholder of the Dazhou Group who had previously advocated the joint cooperation of the two groups.Hearing Chairman Ling's question, the other party sighed: "It was originally a win-win cooperation. However, such a big scandal in Ling's Department Store has seriously affected the impression and reputation of your group in the minds of consumers. The two of us How can the family cooperate?"

We must know that operating a major IPO project such as the listing of a group attaches great importance to the risk assessment and public opinion rating of the project subject.A large part of the reason why Dazhou Group failed to go public before was because of the poor reputation, which affected the stock price.The Dazhou Group has learned a lot from a fall, or it can be said that it was once bitten by a snake and afraid of well ropes for ten years.I don't want to repeat the same mistakes at this juncture.

What's more, because of the entanglements between Ling's Group and Gu Chen.

Since the failure of Dazhou Group's Hong Kong stock listing project last time, many shareholders in the group are somewhat jealous of Gu Chen.It can even be said to be superstitious.It was reasonable for them not to want to provoke Gu Chen during the critical period of the project.Coupled with the sudden scandal of Ling's Department Store, the shareholders of Dazhou Group are even more reluctant to get involved with Ling's Department Store.In order to prevent the negative image of Ling's Department Store from affecting Dazhou Group.Let consumers and those melon-eating netizens who are idle and have nothing to do once again think of the negative news of Dazhou Group.

By then it will be worth it.

To sum up all the above, the cooperation between Ling's Group and Dazhou Group can be said to have died just like that.

After hanging up the phone, Chairman Ling looked at Ling Xiu with a gloomy gaze, which can be said to be gritting his teeth.

"Incompetent bungler!"

"waste!"
