I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.

Chapter 172 Where can you find such a good boss?

When Li Su received Shen Kang's call, he was lifting weights in his dormitory, holding a dumbbell and sweating profusely.

Since becoming the head of the technology department at Anjia platform, Li Su's life has become more fulfilling than ever before, balancing classes with work. He has rearranged his schedule, only attending the most important classes and skipping less important ones to free up time for work.

With such a busy schedule, he had less time to visit Li Xiangjun, or rather, he almost never visited her anymore.

Over the past few months, Li Su has come to understand that Li Xiangjun is completely focused on her work and has no interest in dating, so he has gradually given up on the idea.

So, daily weightlifting was back on the agenda.

On the one hand, a healthy body helps him cope with his busy life; on the other hand, a good physique increases his masculine charm and makes it easier for him to find a girlfriend.

"Uh-huh!----"

Li Su was gritting his teeth and masturbating when his phone rang.

He glanced at the table and saw the name "Shen Kang" on the phone. He put down the dumbbells, wiped his sweat, and went over to answer the call.

"Hey, Mr. Li, are you free now?"

"What is it?"

"The Beiming Community I told you about before is now online—"

On the other end of the phone, Shen Kang gave a detailed account of the buzz generated by the "beautiful woman sharing her outfit" post, as well as the admiration and longing expressed by the male students in the comments below.

Finally, she said, "—I was thinking, it's not just male students who need to know about fashion; we also have a lot of female students who might need to know about fitness! That's why I thought of you. Why don't you get an account on the Beiming Community and have someone take some photos of you and share some fitness knowledge?"

Li Su listened quietly, and at that moment his heart was moved.

He was confident in his physique, but he still had a concern: "Brother, my physique is alright, but I don't think I'm that handsome—"

Li Su felt that it was this face that was preventing him from finding a girlfriend.

Shen Kang's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hey, that's easy. Just don't shoot your face, just shoot your muscles. Shoot whichever muscle looks good."

Li Su was taken aback. "Not taking pictures of the face? Is that even possible?"

Shen Kang on the other end of the phone thought to himself, "You haven't seen the short video era of later generations. There are so many of these headless knights, all using a phone to cover their faces to take selfies and show off their bodies. There are both men and women, and still a lot of people watch them."

"You don't understand."

Shen Kang's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Do you remember when I first went to your dorm, I told you about women's standards for judging 'handsome guys'?"

Li Su nodded quickly, "I remember. Please log in while I look for my notes." He then opened the drawer, took out a small notebook, and began flipping through the pages, searching for the notes he had made back then.

Shen Kang, on the other end of the phone, was speechless upon hearing the sound of pages turning: "—

"————" He was just starting a conversation, but he didn't expect that Li Su would actually write down everything he said at the time.

Li Su quickly flipped to the page and read it aloud: "You said back then that women are emotional creatures, easily influenced by others and their environment. Their perception of 'handsome' doesn't have a fixed standard; it's more of a subjective illusion. Hairstyle, lighting, even other people's opinions can all affect a girl's evaluation of 'handsome.' If an unattractive man tries hard to dress up, and others exaggerate his good looks, that girl might genuinely think he's handsome—"

After Li Su finished reading his notes, Shen Kang's voice came through the receiver: "That's right. For girls, 'handsome' is a feeling, an abstract concept, not a specific indicator. And many girls are easily influenced by others' words, which can change their perception of another person."

"That's why when guys are dating girls, they often need to maintain a good relationship with her best friend and not let her friend dislike them. Otherwise, if her best friend keeps saying bad things about you in her ear, she'll really be affected and gradually start to think you're really bad, and eventually break up with you."

Teacher Shen is teaching again, and it's all practical information!

Li Su's eyes lit up, and he quickly sat down and began writing in the notebook in front of him. "Brother, speak slowly, I'm taking notes."

Nearby, Wei Changfeng and the others, who were originally doing their own things, also came over when they heard the commotion.

"Is that the boss on the phone?" "Li Su, what's going on? What are you writing down?"

The group chattered amongst themselves and soon learned from Li Su that President Shen had returned to teaching after several months!

This excited everyone.

You see, the reason they initially agreed to work on the Anjia website for Shen Kang was to learn how to pick up girls. But after several months, Shen Kang hadn't taught them many dating techniques; instead, they inexplicably ended up working for Anjia as employees.

They had almost given up hope that Mr. Shen would teach them how to pick up girls again, but unexpectedly, happiness suddenly came, and Mr. Shen started teaching again!

Wei Changfeng and the others quickly put aside what they were doing, pulled up small stools, and took out their notebooks and voice recorders. They even asked Li Su to put his phone on speakerphone so they could all listen, take notes, and learn together.

Hearing the commotion on the other end of the phone, Shen Kang was both amused and exasperated. He even asked them, "None of you in your dorm have found partners yet? You're practically high-earning students now, you can afford to dress yourselves up. And being high-earning among students is definitely an advantage for you."

The hands-free mode is on, and the sound is coming from the speaker.

Wei Changfeng spoke first: "I just don't have time. I have to attend classes and work, I really don't have time."

Shen Kang thought for a moment. Anjia's website seemed simple enough to build, but the follow-up work was indeed extensive and continuous. So he said, "There's a lot of work involved. Li Su, how about this: your platform's technical department hires a few more full-time employees. Write a report detailing the required number of people, skill requirements, and salaries, and send it to my email."

"It's not good to be too busy to date all the time. Besides, you guys only have two more years until graduation. If you don't hurry now, you'll miss out on dating in college, which would be such a shame. Let's recruit a few more people to lighten the load for the guys and give them some free time to date in college, so they won't have any regrets!"

Upon hearing the words coming from the loudspeaker, Li Su, Wei Changfeng, and the others were overjoyed and shouted loudly, "Big Brother is awesome!" "Boss is awesome!", a jumble of noise.

After everyone celebrated, they got back to the main topic. Shen Kang repeated what he had just said, as they had requested, and asked everyone to write it down.

After listening, Li Su couldn't help but say, "Brother, according to you, are all women like this, easily influenced by others and thus changing their minds?"

Wei Changfeng and the others also felt somewhat disappointed.

In the eyes of these boys who had never been in a relationship, girls were sacred, but Shen Kang dissected them in a somewhat disappointing way.

"If you want to be in a relationship, the first step is to demystify girls."

Shen Kang said, "Girls are human too, and they have all sorts of flaws, just like we boys have all sorts of flaws."

"They poop too, and their poop smells bad. They also have leg hair, and some girls have leg hair that's thicker than yours."

Some of them snore while sleeping, making it impossible for you to sleep. Others snore, fart, and grind their teeth all at once while sleeping.

Li Su and the others listened silently, imagining those scenes, uh—

After saying this, Shen Kang's voice came through the speaker: "Of course, not all girls are so easily influenced by others and thus change their minds. Some girls can think independently and are not influenced by others."

"But these kinds of girls are actually harder to pursue. If they don't like you, it's really hard for them to like you; many conventional tactics won't work on them."

As Shen Kang spoke on the other end of the phone, he suddenly slapped his forehead. Had he really become their tutor? He'd gone completely off-topic!

"We've gone off on a tangent."

Shen Kang quickly steered the conversation back on track: "Let's go back to what we were talking about earlier. Many girls are easily influenced by the opinions of others when it comes to choosing a partner. If we broaden this 'opinions of others' to the level of public opinion, I call it 'cultural domestication'."

"There is a kind of cultural domestication now," that is, the media and public opinion have long portrayed men who work out as "self-disciplined" and "charming," forming a perception and social acceptance that "fitness men = charm." This "cultural domestication" will also really affect the subjective feelings of many women.

"And they will extend this subjective liking based on your physique to your overall appearance. Even if they eventually find that your face isn't outstanding, this cultural influence will automatically correct their perception of you, making them spontaneously think you're handsome." This is essentially the same principle I mentioned before: if an unattractive man works hard to dress up, and others use exaggerated language to praise him, girls will genuinely think he's handsome. The essence is the same—"

Li Su and his team were diligently taking notes.

After the lesson was over, Li Su no longer had any doubts about Shen Kang's instruction to only photograph his body and not his face.

"That's settled then, you can get started now."

After Shen Kang finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Li Su also pulled out a digital camera, took off his shirt, and started posing for Wei Changfeng to take pictures. To make the photos look better, they even brought over two table lamps and tried lighting them from different angles to create the shadows on his muscles, making Li Su's physique look more athletic.

After everyone took a bunch of photos, Li Su selected some, then edited them on the spot with Photoshop. He then opened the Beiming Community, registered an account, started a thread in the square, and began writing and sharing some of his fitness experiences. Naturally, he also posted a few carefully selected and edited photos along with them.

Finally, the post was sent.
