83: Chapter 83 Getting Started

When Chen Hao left, he took all the autographed photos Zhao Yifei had brought, totaling 100 copies. Zhao Yifei's current favorability level was 80, and exchanging all of them for points immediately earned him 8000.

"Current available points: 11978."

If converted entirely into cash, it would be over a hundred million.

Awesome!

Chen Hao drove his maserati to the hotel to find Sun Nana.

First, Chen Hao needed a capable helper, and second, he hadn't 'honored' her for several days; tonight, he absolutely had to spend the night with her.

Arriving at the hotel entrance, he called Sun Nana.

"Come downstairs, I'm taking you out for some fun."

"Got it!"

After waiting a short while, Sun Nana happily ran out and rushed straight to the maserati.

"Brother Hao, I understood your hint. I've been waiting for you to call. Where are we going to have fun tonight?"

"Does getting a room count?"

Sun Nana's excited smile immediately vanished.

"I thought you were taking me to a nightclub, but that's fine, let's go, let's go."

Just like that, Chen Hao drove Sun Nana to a high-end five-star hotel and booked a room. Chen Hao was rich now too, so he directly booked the presidential suite.

Looking out from a height through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Guangcheng's neon lights were dazzling.

"Nana, I have a presentation here that I need you to look at carefully, and while you're at it, help me pick up a private gig."

"What kind of business? Let me study it first."

Chen Hao sat on the sofa and opened the research report on the new media market.

Sun Nana snuggled into Chen Hao's arms, looking at the material like a little bird leaning on its perch. As they looked, both became engrossed, chatting animatedly while reading.

Since both came from a sales background, they had developed some occupational habits. Seeing business opportunities in a report was child's play for Sun Nana, who was very familiar with such matters.

Around 10 o'clock, the two had a general direction: developing an APP.

"Find cheap small workshops; there are plenty across the country. Just copy the templates based on the syllables."

"Find foreign extras, the kind paid a hundred yuan a day, try to finish filming in three to five days, and complete post-production in ten to twenty days."

"Once we accumulate enough short dramas, we'll launch the APP in the European and American markets and let it grow wildly."

"We must strictly control paid viewing; it absolutely cannot be pirated, otherwise, how are we supposed to make money?"

"Exactly. User registration doesn't need to be too strict. In the early stages, we'll share profits with creators, and the platform's commission will be a bit lower. As long as we can attract more creators to join, we'll definitely make a profit."

"It's settled then!"

The two reached an agreement instantly, as happy as if they had just closed a major deal.

"Nana, you really are my capable assistant. A kiss!"

Chen Hao hugged her and started kissing her. After a while of intimacy, they engaged in mutual exertion.

Afterward.

Chen Hao lit a post-coital cigarette while Sun Nana savored the passion, bringing up the same old topic again.

"Brother Hao, I still want to resign. The company is a mess right now. Manager Ma and Vice President Wang fight every day. Many employees have already left. If Manager Ma hadn't stopped me, I would have been kicked out long ago."

"Ignore those two. As long as they don't fire you, you must not resign voluntarily."

Sun Nana was very confused.

"Why?"

"First, it's not the right time, and second, I need an informant."

Chen Hao kissed her lips and added,

"I plan to join Xinglong Group, but not right now. When I need a core team, I will definitely take you with me."

Sun Nana sat up and asked,

"Last time on the phone, you said that if Manager Ma lost the fight with Wang, you would retaliate against Vice President Wang. Is that true?"

"Of course it's true. After all, this company was founded by Manager Ma and me. If Wang Liguo dares to usurp our nest, I will make him bankrupt."

"Understood."

Sun Nana finally realized that she was Chen Hao's hidden operative within the company, so she truly couldn't resign.

"I will constantly help you monitor the situation."

Sun Nana proactively hugged Chen Hao again, nestling into his arms coquettishly.

"How does it feel this time? Is it better?"

"Much better. At least it doesn't hurt as much."

"Then let's do it again."

Chen Hao directly covered them with the blanket, leading to another passionate bout.

...

The next morning.

Chen Hao drove Sun Nana to her class. Along the way, Chen Hao repeatedly instructed her,

"Remember, don't be overly intimate with me in public places."

"I know, I'm not deaf. You've said it several times already."

Upon arriving at the Business School, he started today's lecture.

The attendees today were not executives studying the corporate self-media management project. The content was novel, and most people wanted to advance their careers. After class, they flocked to Chen Hao, asking many related questions.

Chen Hao answered truthfully, clarifying doubts, and was busy the entire day, only managing to get away in the evening.

Zhang Menglu handed Chen Hao a bottle of water.

"Go to the hospital. See how Zhuang Hua is doing. Ask her when she can be discharged."

Chen Hao drank the water.

"Are you worried about her?"

"I'm worried about you. Such high-intensity lectures—you're truly exhausted."

Chen Hao replied,

"It's for making money. No matter how hard it is, it's worth it."

Before going to the hospital, Chen Hao told Sun Nana,

"You study the materials first and give me a complete proposal tomorrow. I have something to do today, so I'm leaving first."

Chen Hao's unspoken meaning was that he wouldn't be with her tonight; she should entertain herself.

"Bye-bye, Brother Hao, drive safely."

When Chen Hao drove to the hospital and saw Zhuang Hua, her complexion was much better, and she was holding her phone, studying Chen Hao's presentation techniques.

"Lecturer Chen, you're here?"

Zhuang Hua tried to get up to greet him but was quickly stopped by Chen Hao.

"Stay lying down, it's not suitable for you to move around right now."

She showed him the video on her phone.

"My junior sent it to me. You speak so well, a hundred times better than me," Zhang Menglu said jealously.

"My Chen Hao has been exhausted these past few days. Look at his dark circles. You need to get well soon so we can both relax," Zhuang Hua added.

"Qian Zhaodi told me that you cleared out a batch of people on the first day. Now the team only has about 20 people left."

"Actually, I knew there were internal problems, but I'm a bit soft-hearted, not as decisive as you. You've helped me so much; I really don't know how to thank you."

Zhuang Hua looked at Chen Hao with eyes full of gratitude.

"Great kindness needs no words; I will remember this favor."

Although she said it was a great favor, her favorability level did not rise at all.

Chen Hao then finalized the negotiation for the animation enterprise, gave her a report, and reminded her to check her bank account. Once the final payment was received, she should immediately give it to the team, as venue and labor expenses were pending payment.

"I heard. You helped cover the previous expenses."

She said this while transferring money to Chen Hao.

"The final payment arrived this afternoon. I'll transfer all of it to you."

After Chen Hao received the 1.2 million transfer, the two discussed some trivial matters.

The visit ended, and they drove back to the hotel. Chen Hao had originally planned to spend the night with Zhang Menglu, but when they arrived at the hotel, they coincidentally ran into Zhu Shasha by the elevator entrance, and the three took the elevator upstairs together.
