After rebirth, I only date bad girls

Chapter 487 A Wonderful Night, Truly Ineffable
Zhang Lin felt somewhat at a loss after listening to Liang Can's arrogant remarks.

The young man in front of me is far too ambitious.

His vision extends beyond the internet; he even wants to reach into the physical industries.

And it's the automotive industry.

However, Liang Can clearly wasn't going to say anything more to Zhang Lin. He waved his hand, stood up, and said, "Go back to Sheng Yufeng's side. Give him more warmth and comfort, and rekindle your broken relationship. That way, he'll share more secrets with you."

Zhang Lin narrowed her eyes and said calmly, "That's a bit difficult. He recently found a young and beautiful woman. I've met her; she has some of Dai Yueting's charm back then."

Although Zhang Lin was forcibly suppressing her emotions and appearing calm when she said this, Liang Can still sensed her deep resentment.

'Perhaps now, I don't need to force Zhang Lin to do anything anymore; she can scatter Sheng Yufeng's ashes herself,' Liang Can thought to himself.

Never underestimate a woman's resentment; her revenge can be unbearable.

What is the best way for a woman to get revenge on a man?
It means making a man wear a green hat (a symbol of infidelity).

So Liang Can said with a regretful and pity, "Zhang Lin, after going through so much, you must have seen through Sheng Yufeng. So why remain chaste for him?"

Zhang Lin looked at Liang Can with a questioning look in her eyes, her tone slightly probing: "You... you'd be interested in me?"

Liang Can: “.”

God the hell would even notice you? You're such a jerk, what kind of ordinary woman are you?

I'm just convinced.

Feeling utterly gloomy, Liang Can turned and left.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and something big is happening today.

Qingning Technology's short video platform has officially launched, and the entire Wonderful Night Gala will be broadcast live.

The entire short video platform team was extremely busy, yet they maintained a high level of order. Liang Can personally attended the Wonderful Night event.

By the time Liang Can arrived at the scene, the atmosphere had already reached a small climax.

The main cast of "Chinese Paladin 3," including Hu Ge, Yang Mi, and Wallace Huo, are wearing their original costumes and singing "This Life, No Regrets."

Later came the even more widely sung song, "Preference."

"Oh my god, so the original singer of 'Preference' was a woman. I thought it was a man for all these years." Liang Can chuckled.

If the appearance of "Chinese Paladin 3" raised the atmosphere of the event, then the appearance of Ultraman Tiga instantly brought the atmosphere to its peak.

When the theme song of "Inuyasha," "Thoughts Across Time," began to play, the entire audience was once again captivated.

In conclusion, Liang Can expressed satisfaction with the presentation of the gala.

Seeing Liang Can's satisfied smile, Mu Cheng, the gala's director, breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Xiao Liang, you're incredibly powerful now. You must have tens of thousands of female internet celebrities under your command, right?"

Zhu Guangliang and Liang Can, who were invited, stood on one side of the stands with their arms crossed, drooling as they watched the female internet celebrities lined up on stage, swaying their hips to the rhythmic music.

On stage, a dozen female internet celebrities with hot figures were performing a giant swing in front of a glowing backdrop. Because only their silhouettes could be seen, it accentuated the beauty of their female figures.

After hearing Zhu Guangliang's words, Liang Can smiled without saying a word: "They are all talents under the companies we cooperate with, and have nothing to do with me."

This was one of the principles that Liang Can initially set.

The platform does not sign contracts with any online influencers, regardless of whether they have tens of millions or hundreds of millions of followers.

Even with the people he previously discovered, like Li Ziqi and Tong Jingcheng, Liang Can had Wang Yuan's MCN agency sign them and then collaborate with short video platforms.

"If you see someone you like, just go up and ask for their contact information. I've tried it, and it always works," Liang Can said to Zhu Guangliang with a smile.

So Liang Can found it strange that people always say it's hard to find a partner these days.

They want money, gifts, and things like that.

Anyway, Liang Can has never met a materialistic girl. Whenever girls see him, they act exceptionally well-mannered, gentle, and considerate.

It was like this in his past life. After Liang Can went to university in the capital, female students would often buy him milk tea. When they went out on dates, the girls would even offer to split the bill or pay for everything.

After hearing this, Zhu Guangliang cursed and said, "You just think you can do whatever you want because you're handsome. I don't have your looks. I'm used to using money to solve everything."

Doing it even once is illegal.

A month is considered dating.

This world never gives the poor a way to survive.

“Oh right, last month I accompanied the boss to a ministry meeting and ran into President Ma. We happened to be staying at the same hotel, so we chatted about you,” Zhu Guangliang said to Liang Can.

Looking at the bustling stage, Liang Can asked, "Talk about me?"

“Yes, they are discussing how short video platforms can monetize,” Zhu Guangliang said. “If it’s just about running a live streaming business, with the influencers getting half the gifts and the platform getting half, frankly, the profits are too low.”

"Integrating e-commerce would seem incongruous, so they felt it would be a huge challenge for you."

Liang Can put his hands in his pockets and nodded slightly.

It's understandable that investors worry about whether their investments will yield returns.

After all, Tencent Technology also went through the same process back then.

In its early years, QQ quickly gained a huge user base, but struggled to monetize it.

It was only after much trial and error that the subsequent grand occasion came about.

QQ membership, QQ Show, QQ Space, and various other premium features were all monetization methods that were devised later, even before the games themselves.

Liang Can even spent several tens of yuan back then to buy a set of super cool QQ Show skins.

Those in the class who are rich, like Sheng Shuyi, have all kinds of QQ memberships—red, yellow, green, and all sorts—for a year, and all the icons on her QQ interface are lit up.

That was incredibly arrogant.

"It's a bit complicated, let them wait and see," Liang Can said, playing hard to get.

Right now, the most important thing for Liang Can is to attract popularity.

As for how to inhale it?
Liang Can was intimately familiar with how short video platforms would operate in the future.

The saying goes, "If you understand one method, you understand all methods." The rise of any platform cannot escape a certain process.

That's borderline.

How to polish something in a way that catches the eye, how to polish it openly and honestly, how to polish it in a way that makes people scream with excitement—that's an art.

Without a doubt, Liang Can can be considered the founder of this field of study.

Late at night, Sheng Shuyi's cousin, Xu Zhengyao, came out of the bar.

He got into the car, leaned against the window, and watched the night view rushing past. He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

Life is so boring these days, it's absolutely utterly boring.

I sleep until I naturally wake up every day, play some games, and in the evening I call my friends to go to bars or karaoke. Every day when I wake up, there is a different woman lying next to me.

"I've really had enough of this boring life," Xu Zhengyao said with deep emotion.

So he left early today and didn't bother to engage with the atmosphere team at the bar.

Back home, he immediately lay down on the sofa and started scrolling through his WeChat Moments on his phone out of boredom.

"Ok?"

"Shuyi posted on WeChat Moments, what's the link?"

Xu Zhengyao clicked the link, and the interface switched directly to the APP store.

The app's logo is a black background with a white music symbol, and its name is TikTok.

"What kind of trouble is Liang Can from Qingning Technology causing now?"

Since he had nothing better to do, Xu Zhengyao downloaded Douyin (TikTok). Registration was simple; he could register with his phone number or WeChat. Upon entering the app, a video immediately popped up, giving him no choice but to swipe away if he wanted to watch something else.

"What's this?" Xu Zhengyao yawned.

He rubbed his stomach. He had just grabbed a quick bite before going to a bar to dance that night, and now his stomach was rumbling, but he didn't know what to eat.

"Old Song, you'd better set this up carefully. This abacus may be small, but it's bigger than my head, Magistrate Wang Ganju's head."

"After eating pickled vegetables and tofu, even the emperor can't compare to me!"

In the vertical screen, the actor playing Wang Ganju is scolding Old Song while cutting tofu and pouring it into a pot. After humming a rebellious little tune, he takes a bite of pickled vegetables and tofu and a sip of wine, looking quite pleased with himself!

It was just an ordinary dish of pickled vegetables and tofu, but Xu Zhengyao swallowed hard as he watched it.

"Damn, I have to try this stuff someday and see how delicious it is." Xu Zhengyao felt his mouth starting to water.

"Braised carp with noodles, a recipe from Yanjin."

Later, Xu Zhengyao also saw photos of Fan Wei eating free hot pot and Chen Sicheng eating flatbread and pig's head meat.

The videos are only a few seconds long, leaving viewers wanting more. After finishing one video, a quick swipe of the thumb immediately starts scrolling to the next one.

"Damn it, I can't take it anymore!"

Xu Zhengyao rubbed his stomach, picked up another phone, and ordered takeout with great gusto.

He's really hungry now, he's craving it.

And I don't want anything fancy, I just want some high-tech and high-quality stuff.

After ordering takeout, Xu Zhengyao eagerly picked up his phone again and muttered to himself, "This way of playing is quite interesting."

Keep brushing.

Swipe your thumb upwards.

"Wow, this milky white snowflake!" Xu Zhengyao gasped.

The video was filtered, accompanied by background music, and featured catchy dance moves, which made Xu Zhengyao watch it several times.

It's hilarious. He was completely unmoved by all those atmospheric images in the bar that were practically hanging on Xu Zhengyao's body, but now he's watching them with great interest through a screen.

Then came several more dance videos that skirted the edge of the rules, and Xu Zhengyao didn't hesitate to give them a thumbs up.

After regaining his senses, Xu Zhengyao chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Damn, I don't even glance at the beakers that you can touch and kiss in bars, but I'm getting cravings just looking at them through the screen."

Watching the sexy and sweet female anchor swaying her hips and waist back and forth to the music in the video, Xu Zhengyao opened her private messages.

Want to talk? I'll give you 50,000 yuan a month in pocket money.

The other party didn't reply.

But there's a small color-changing circle on her profile picture, indicating that she's live streaming.

Xu Zhengyao couldn't wait to start the live stream, and at that moment, his takeout arrived.

A bowl of salted vegetable and tofu soup, a roast duck, and a variety of fried skewers.

While eating, Xu Zhengyao watched the live stream.

"Welcome, big brother~" the female streamer greeted sweetly. "New streamer, thank you for your attention, big brother! Sending you a heart~"

After saying that, the sassy female anchor made a heart shape with her hands towards the camera.

Xu Zhengyao glanced at the number of viewers watching online; there were only a handful.

The female anchor has a program list in the upper left corner, showing you exactly what kind of dance the heart-shaped bunny will perform.

While eating his takeout, Xu Zhengyao typed: "[Can I dance the dance from your work?]"

The female streamer repeated her words to the chat, then immediately said, "Of course!"

After saying that, the female anchor didn't ask Xu Zhengyao for a gift. Instead, she turned on some music and started performing a giant swing on the spot.

It's like her big breasts and plump buttocks are swaying together, let's sway together!

Xu Zhengyao was very satisfied. He opened the gift list, picked one worth about a thousand yuan, topped up his WeChat account, and sent the gift in one go.

After the gift was sent, a particularly dazzling special effect appeared on the screen.

The female anchor covered her mouth with both hands in surprise, her eyes wide with disbelief, and shouted, "Thank you, brother! Thank you for your big castle! Mwah! Love you, brother!"

Xu Zhengyao slapped his thigh: "Interesting, very interesting."

After watching for a while, Xu Zhengyao switched out of the live stream to watch the next video.

At this point, a private message was displayed in the backend.

Upon clicking, I saw it was the female streamer I had just tipped.

Female anchor: [Brother, are you telling the truth?]

Xu Zhengyao is now full and satisfied. As the saying goes, when you're well-fed and warm, you start to think about sex. He really had no interest in sex when he was at the bar, but now he's very angry.

Xu Zhengyao immediately replied: "[Of course it's true, will you be my girlfriend? I'm in Hangzhou.]"

Female anchor: [But this is too fast, isn't it? Brother, how about we get to know each other a little better? If there's a chance, I'll treat you to a late-night snack, okay?]

Xu Zhengyao pondered for a moment: "Sure, I'll pick you up then?"

Female streamer: [Yeah, brother, let's add each other on WeChat~]

Xu Zhengyao was overjoyed, and because of this small beaker, he posted several fan service videos on WeChat.

More sexy and exciting than the platform's.

"Wow, this is so much better than just hooking up! It feels so damn good!" Xu Zhengyao rolled around on the sofa excitedly, yelling with excitement.

How could someone who frequents such places not know that this female streamer was stringing him along, trying to keep spending his coins?

But so what?
Xu Zhengyao, who was feeling empty inside, needed emotional support.

In her live stream, Xu Zhengyao is undoubtedly the king.

It's like playing a simulation game.

Xu Zhengyao continued to lie on his side on the sofa scrolling through short videos. When he came to his senses, he was horrified to discover: "Holy crap, three hours have already passed?"

I can't feel the passage of time at all.

"Damn, this thing is really addictive." Xu Zhengyao clicked his tongue and shook his head.

He spent tens of thousands of yuan tonight gifting female streamers, and his private messages were almost flooded. He entered the live stream with an account that was over level 30, and the female streamers knew at a glance that a big spender had arrived, and they were all incredibly attentive and proactive.

Xu Zhengyao gave a very fair evaluation.

"From an emotional value perspective, it's even more enjoyable than going to a karaoke bar."

The main reason is that being separated by a screen, unable to kiss or touch, makes people feel restless and eager.

Xu Zhengyao even discovered that the picture quality and sound effects of this app were much better than those of other platforms.

Some songs don't resonate with you when you listen to them on music apps, but when you see them on TikTok, they create a special atmosphere. This is definitely partly due to the combination of music and video, but the fact is that TikTok's sound quality is specially tuned.

Therefore, the women in these short videos who flirt with the law seem much more alluring than in real life!

Many women who flirt with the law are one way online and another way offline. To put it bluntly, they lack the atmosphere created by the various technologies in short videos.

Xu Zhengyao quickly grasped the core of the strategy: "Find those local streamers with a few dozen or so viewers online, who are pretty but not famous yet, and it's easy to hook them up."

Even rich kids should prioritize cost-effectiveness.

Xu Zhengyao is now completely absorbed in the atmosphere of being chased by the female streamer who kept calling him "thank you, brother" after he gave her a gift, and he can't extricate himself from it.
