"Oops! I'm late, I'm so sorry."

Chen Tangtang's simple voice came from the conference room door, "I ran into an acquaintance on the way and was delayed a bit."

Without any hesitation, she dragged someone into the conference room, sat down next to Yun Mingyue, patted her thigh, and said to that person.

"Little heartthrob, would you like to sit on my lap?"

Snapped!

A pen was forcibly broken in two by Yun Mingyue.

December Bounty + Book Club

71. Chen Tangtang: Let me have him.

The atmosphere in the meeting room became even more awkward, and the shareholders held their breath.

Miss Chen deliberately brought a man with her. Was she trying to provoke Chairman Yun?

Huh? You mean the eldest daughter of the Chen family was very intimate with that man just now?

This must all be an illusion!

If Miss Chen is really throwing herself at that man, he'll twist his own head off and let him kick it around like a ball.

So, this might be a signal to start a war...

Many people have begun to consider whether they should pack their belongings overnight and flee Hangzhou, which is about to become a place of trouble.

Apart from Sun Qing, who was the only one who understood the situation, no one knew that Yun Mingyue and Chen Tangtang's behavior was really because of that inconspicuous boy brought by Chen Tangtang.

She was standing behind Yun Mingyue, constantly winking at Zhou You, hoping he would be careful with his words and actions and not let the situation get further out of control.

Zhou You appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he felt extremely annoyed by Yun Mingyue's subtle yet piercing gaze.

He was just hitchhiking.

At this moment, he wished he had a system, or that he was actually a dragon king pretending to be weak while secretly being strong, who would suppress all who dared to oppose him with a wicked smile.

Unfortunately, he was just a college student who had recently met a lot of rich and beautiful older women.

Now he can only rely on himself to adapt to the situation.

"I am Chairman Yun's personal secretary. At the Chairman's request, I am here to discuss matters with Ms. Chen in advance," Zhou You explained with a smile as he stood before Yun Mingyue.

The shareholders finally focused their attention on him, some of them thoughtfully observing. They had never seen the chairman's private secretary before...

Could it be that the chairman found out about Miss Chen's preferences and deliberately found a guy who fits her taste to use his good looks to seduce her?

This behavior is not unusual; many people present have used it, and some have even secretly tried to find out Yun Mingyue's preferences.

Unfortunately, it was too difficult to deceive Yun Mingyue. Those who had previously harbored evil intentions were either being toyed with by a group of strong men in prison or had disappeared without a trace.

Chen Tangtang pouted, and Zhou You stood on Yun Mingyue's side, making her a little unhappy.

"You make my little male god my secretary, and I'll listen to you from now on." Perhaps others wouldn't bring up such a strange topic at an important meeting, but the uninhibited Chen Tangtang certainly would.

Upon hearing this, the shareholders felt a chill run down their spines and truly believed their earlier speculation.

As expected of the business queen of Hangzhou, her intelligence network is indeed terrifying; she even easily controlled the eldest daughter of the Chen family.

Now, all Yun Mingyue needs to do is hand over the secretary behind her to Chen Tangtang, and she will gain the support of Chen Tangtang, who owns 10% of the shares.

This gives them a 36% stake in the group...

A terrifying woman.

The shareholders became increasingly alarmed as they thought about it, and their resolve to remain inactive and do nothing was strengthened.

They're content with just getting a share of the profits.

"Hehe." Yun Mingyue, to their surprise, gave a cold laugh, seemingly disdainful of Chen Tangtang's suggestion.

The atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense.

"Zhou You." Sun Qing nudged Zhou You quietly. She just felt that women in love were really scary.

Whether you're a successful businesswoman or a wealthy heiress pursued by countless admirers, strangely enough, your IQ drops to zero after falling in love.

"Say something quickly."

Zhou You gave an OK sign. After a moment's thought, he had an idea. Since it was a meeting, he could divert everyone's attention by talking about serious matters, which would also echo his earlier statement about communicating privately with Chen Tangtang.

As for what exactly he was talking about, the company where he interned, the 'New Industrial Chain Research Center,' had been operating for several months, so he had handled a lot of data.

"Chairman, do I need to explain the plan that you and Ms. Chen discussed?"

"Hmm?" Yun Mingyue was slightly taken aback. Wasn't that sentence just now fabricated by Zhou You?

She nodded with some curiosity, "Tell me about it."

"Cough cough."

After clearing his throat twice to attract the shareholders' attention, Zhou You began to speak, “As you all know, the current domestic and international situation is very serious. Due to the impact of [the pandemic], both physical stores and the tourism industry have been severely affected, and Hangzhou is a city where tourism accounts for a large proportion of the economy.”

"The Yun Group is still thriving thanks to the chairman's strategic planning, but the chairman believes this is not a long-term solution."

He paused, trying to be concise and explain things clearly in just a few words.

"In contrast to the sluggishness of the physical industry, the virtual service industry has been booming during this period. Therefore, Yun's Group has decided to cooperate with the Chen family of Hong Kong to develop a short video APP, which is tentatively named Douyin."

"Can it compete with Pilipili in the short video market?" a shareholder was questioned.

"Regarding Pilipili, the chairman has also done some research," Zhou You calmly replied. "Douyin's main users will be between 22 and 35 years old, while Pilipili's users will be younger and have more free time. They prefer..."

He recalled the statistical report he had seen some time ago.

"I don't know if you have seen the promotional songs 'Puppet Show' and 'Monkey King' that NetEase recorded for its games 'Journey to the West' and 'Shun Huo Nuan'. They not only gained traffic but also received widespread praise."

"And then there's Henan TV, which's been incredibly popular lately..."

"In conclusion, Douyin's target users overlap with Pilipili's users, but the overlap may not be as large as the shareholders imagine."

Zhou You had said enough; he couldn't go into any more detail. What he was revealing now was all the useful information he had gathered from his internship over the past few months.

Developing a software like Douyin is certainly not easy. The most important big data algorithm definitely requires the support of top experts in the industry. If Yunshi Group really wants to do it, it will probably have to poach people from several major Internet companies, and not just one or two.

The shareholders began to think seriously, glancing at Zhou You every now and then as they did so.

The chairman's new secretary wasn't just a "figurehead" he hired? She actually went to Chen Tangtang for business talks?

Come to think of it, this is the first time Yun Mingyue has had a male secretary, let alone a personal secretary. Could it be...?

Some shareholders noticed something was off about Zhou You's gaze. They initially thought he was just a tool to seduce Chen Tangtang, but it turned out he might have some unspeakable relationship with the chairman.

Moreover, it seems that he is currently in a complicated relationship with the eldest daughter of the Chen family.

Wouldn't this person be able to do whatever he wants in the Yun Group from now on?

Yun Mingyue tapped her fingers lightly on the table, temporarily setting aside her plan to tease Chen Tangtang. Zhou You's sudden proposal truly surprised her.

I never expected that this little boy, who usually seems so quiet, would have so many brilliant ideas behind the scenes.

She looked up with interest at Zhou You, who was standing there silently, wondering what else her younger brother might be carrying.

My sister will find a chance to drain you dry tonight.

72. Good boy, call me sister.

"Director Chen, do you have any further questions about this project?"

"what?"

Chen Tangtang blinked blankly, then nodded emphatically and said with a beaming smile, "My little god is absolutely right, I will fully support him."

"..."

Yun Mingyue rolled her eyes inwardly, feeling that talking to Chen Tangtang about serious matters was a complete waste of time.

However, thanks to Zhou You's performance, she regained some composure and began to seriously consider the plan he proposed.

In the digital and information age, Yunshi Group is either moving forward or falling behind, and developing Douyin seems to be a good start.

Under Zhou You's constant reassuring gaze, Chen Tangtang became well-behaved and stopped making those 'unspeakable' remarks.

What followed was quite natural: everyone welcomed Chen Tangtang as the second largest shareholder of Yun's Group, discussed the development of Douyin (TikTok), and finally talked about the industrial restructuring of Yun's Group.

During that time, everyone remembered Zhou You's face and secretly sighed that although he was still a novice, he was already showing great promise. If it weren't for Yun Mingyue's strange attitude and Chen Tangtang's undisguised concern, it would have been a different story.

They would definitely introduce their daughters and nieces to Zhou You. With Yun Daidai no longer overshadowing Zhou You's brilliance, he gained recognition from more and more people.

The discussion continued until three or four in the afternoon before the meeting officially adjourned.

After the shareholders left, only Yun Mingyue, Zhou You, and Chen Tangtang remained in the meeting room.

"Sun Qing, go outside and keep watch. Don't let anyone unrelated in," Yun Mingyue instructed.

"Yes," Sun Qing replied and left.

After Sun Qing left, Yun Mingyue unbuttoned one of her clothes and leaned back in her chair with her legs crossed, looking rather languid.

"Little brother, you did a great job today. Before we knew it, the little boy had grown into a capable adult."

She casually twirled strands of hair with her fingers, looking at Zhou You as if he were an increasingly ripe fruit, making one almost unable to resist swallowing him whole.

only……

Yun Mingyue remembered her concerns, and the deeper she got into the situation, the less courage she had to bring up her daughter's situation.

Many people in the company know about her, but unfortunately, they probably don't have the guts to talk about her behind her back, especially about her as the chairperson. So it's impossible for Zhou You to have overheard it by chance.

In that case, the only option is to... find an opportunity to invite Zhou You to our home.

Zhou You would have found traces of his daughters living together in the house if he had ever visited her home.

If he doesn't accept it, she can make up an excuse that it's a relative's child, and then wait and see what happens. Anyway, it's impossible for her to let the dried fish go!

“Chairman, I am legally an adult.” Zhou You could never have guessed that Yun Mingyue was thinking so much in that instant.

"Everyone's off work."

Yun Mingyue reached out and tugged at Zhou You's tie, making him lean closer to her. "Be good, call me sister."
