Chapter 260: Chapter 266: TikTok Goes Live

Guo Yu was stunned when she heard the words "no upper limit."

Her heart grew even more excited.

Originally, she thought the company she was interviewing for was just a shell company.

She didn’t expect its strength to be so formidable.

"Boss, what kind of positions do we need then?" Guo Yu continued to ask.

With Ye Chen’s support, Guo Yu had already made up her mind to roll up her sleeves and work hard.

Ye Chen thought for a moment and said, "The first person to recruit should be a general manager’s assistant."

"General manager’s assistant?"

Ye Chen’s answer made Guo Yu freeze for a moment.

Guo Yu was a bit confused by Ye Chen’s line of thinking.

While a general manager’s assistant is important, they aren’t the most critical role for a company.

Ye Chen’s attitude was very firm.

"Cough, the reason we need to hire a general manager’s assistant is because our company’s general manager shouldn’t have to work too hard."

As he spoke, Ye Chen looked warmly at Xia Yingluo beside him.

Guo Yu finally understood Ye Chen’s reasoning.

It turned out the boss was looking for someone to do his girlfriend’s work for her.

Xia Yingluo’s pretty face flushed red, and she gave Ye Chen a fierce glare.

In front of the employees, she was very careful to maintain Ye Chen’s image.

Even if they had different opinions, Xia Yingluo would only discuss them with Ye Chen in private.

Seeing Xia Yingluo glaring at him, Ye Chen couldn’t help but grin smugly.

The two exchanged flirtatious glances.

Song Yuyu was long used to this and put on an expression as if she hadn’t seen a thing.

Guo Yu suddenly felt that she had celebrated a bit too early.

Her previous grand ambitions seemed to take a hit in an instant.

That’s right, the general manager won’t be tired, but I’ll be exhausted!

Guo Yu said, "Boss, are there no other requirements?"

Ye Chen nodded. "None. Oh, by the way, that general manager’s assistant must be female."

Guo Yu noted it down expressionlessly.

Some "leading catering enterprise" this was.

Guo Yu had a feeling that this was just a shell company run like a mom-and-pop shop.

Of course, Ye Chen wasn’t just showing off his relationship to Guo Yu.

It was because Ye Chen could feel that Xia Yingluo was truly too tired.

Academics at Peking University were already exhausting. After all, Ye Chen had a system, so he didn’t need much time to study, but Xia Yingluo didn’t.

Everyone at Peking University was a Top Student; every single one of them had top-tier grades.

If you didn’t work hard, you simply couldn’t keep up.

Therefore, after entering Peking University, Xia Yingluo’s studies were already quite taxing.

Now, Xia Yingluo also had to handle the Hot Pot Restaurant’s affairs.

The pressure was simply too great.

Ye Chen was also worried that Xia Yingluo wouldn’t be able to handle it.

Guo Yu paused and asked, "Boss, why does the general manager’s assistant have to be female?"

Ye Chen thought for a bit and said, "I think women are more meticulous and better suited for it."

Song Yuyu curled her lip to the side with an "I see right through you" expression... In the blink of an eye, over ten days passed.

During this time, through Li Li’s overwhelming publicity, many people learned that a video software called TikTok was about to be launched.

TikTok was positioned as a short video platform for all age groups.

No matter your age, you could film your own short videos and upload them to the internet to share with others.

At noon, the TikTok app officially went live.

Thanks to the effective publicity, many users immediately downloaded the TikTok software after it launched.

Soon, users experienced the power of TikTok.

"Oh my god, this beauty filter is too strong! I suddenly feel like a little fairy."

"I actually saw my good friend already filming TikTok videos; I want to film one too."

"Holy crap, this girl is so pretty! I really want to get to know her."

"Brothers, I saw a ’goddess’ on TikTok! Everyone, come take a look."

As soon as TikTok came out, it immediately caught the attention of young people.

Actually, Ye Chen had already planned all of this in advance.

Before TikTok was released, Ye Chen drew from his past life’s experience and had people film some eye-catching videos.

As a die-hard fan who scrolled through TikTok every day, Ye Chen naturally understood what kind of videos were better at grabbing people’s attention.

These past few days, the company’s employees had actually been working overtime.

They had specifically established a promotion company to film videos everywhere.

Naturally, the ones they filmed the most were videos of beautiful women.

As a veteran TikTok fan, Ye Chen knew all too well how to capture the hearts of male fans.

Therefore, footage of beautiful women was indispensable. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Ye Chen’s plan was very successful.

After registering, many TikTok users discovered they could see the daily lives of so many pretty girls and instantly fell uncontrollably in love with TikTok.

In this way, more and more people learned about TikTok.

TikTok’s download speed also grew exponentially.

At 7:00 PM, ten hours after TikTok was released, the head of the Technical Department looked excited.

"Boss, our download count has already surpassed one million."

Inside the TikTok Headquarters, cries of surprise were constant.

Li Li said excitedly, "Xiao Ye, we did it."

Reaching over a million in ten hours—this speed was simply incredible.

However, the corners of Ye Chen’s mouth curled up slightly.

For Ye Chen, this effect was entirely within his expectations.

After all, before TikTok went live, over ten million had already been spent on promotion alone.

Furthermore, with his experience from his past life, Ye Chen knew all too well what kind of videos users liked nowadays.

To be honest, in his past life, these videos were already outdated.

But since TikTok had just appeared, these videos had an explosive effect.

Because of these videos, a huge wave of fans was immediately attracted.

And with the promotion from these people, TikTok’s downloads grew exponentially.

This record of a million in ten hours was just the starting point.

Because during this time, many people were still at work.

The evening was the prime time for TikTok downloads.

Ye Chen believed that before long, TikTok’s download count would surpass ten million, or even a hundred million.

In short, once TikTok caught on, it would become unstoppable.

The number of users would increase exponentially every day.

Ye Chen smiled and said to all the technical staff, "Alright, we’ve succeeded. This is the result of everyone’s hard work. It’s getting late, so I’m treating everyone to a big feast today."

TikTok’s successful launch put Ye Chen in a very good mood.

He planned to treat everyone to a meal.

It was a reward for everyone’s tireless hard work during this period.

"The boss is mighty!"

"Haha, as expected of the boss, he’s so awesome."

Hearing that there was a feast, the staff members were all excited.

Ye Chen directly booked a five-star hotel for the victory banquet.

After the feast, everyone was even more full of motivation... Peking University’s Management Department.

Xia Yingluo looked at the blackboard seriously, listening to the lecture.

Guo Yu’s ability was indeed very strong.

Soon, she provided Xia Yingluo with a very comprehensive company organizational chart.

Xia Yingluo was very satisfied after seeing it.

She directly told Guo Yu to prepare for recruitment.

Building the company would still take time.

Xia Yingluo was now focusing most of her energy on her studies.
