After rebirth, I only date bad girls

Chapter 218 Lin Ying's Impotent Rage
A few days later, in the early morning
Liang Can sat on the bleachers of the playground, lazily yawning.

As a wealthy person, maintaining good health is very important, so even though the weather is still a bit cold, Liang Can still insists on exercising in the morning.

"This one is good, and this one is good too."

"Hey, who says our science and engineering universities lack beautiful girls? We clearly have plenty!"

Looking at the female students doing their morning exercises on the playground, Liang Can smiled with satisfaction.

In this season, shorts and athletic skirts are naturally not suitable for going out, so you can't see those fair and tender thighs.

But it's nice to see shark fins and yoga pants too.

Yoga pants are really unforgiving when it comes to leg and hip shape. If you can make these pants look good, then you already have a top-notch figure.

After watching for more than half an hour, Liang Can got up and left, ending his workout for the day.

Those of us who work in the internet industry often overuse our eyes, so we like to look at beautiful things to relieve eye strain.

He entered the studio with his hands in his pockets, and everyone gathered around.

Today is a big day, the Campus Diary APP will be officially launched.

"Is everything ready?" Liang Can looked around and asked with a smile.

Everyone nodded. The pillars of the R&D team, the Holy Grail trio, sat in the corner with panda eyes, holding their laptops.

For programmers, developing an app takes countless hours and a lot of effort.

Just as teachers always have the strongest feelings for their first class of students after starting work, Campus Diary is the first APP developed by Chi Shaoheng and his two colleagues, so they are naturally more nervous and attentive than anyone else.

This tense atmosphere filled the entire room.

Having keenly noticed this, Liang Can walked to the center and clapped his hands: "I have a friend named Wang Yuan, many of you here should have met him. He and his girlfriend have a very good relationship."

“A couple of days ago, Wang Yuan came to me and said that He Xue has been asking him a lot lately, ‘What’s wrong with you lately? You’re always moving so fast.’”

Do you know what Wang Yuan said?

The group looked at each other and shook their heads.

Liang Can: "My friend said that time always flies when you're with the person you love."

"Pfft..."

"Hilarious! If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. Why make it sound so high-sounding?"

"Hahaha~"

The atmosphere became slightly more pleasant.

Liang Can said with a smile, "I know why Wang Yuan hasn't been doing well lately. It's because he's too tired. He's been working hard for our common cause, often only sleeping three or four hours a day."

Everyone looked at Liang Can.

Liang Can continued, "Of course, working with everyone day and night, every month when Sister Liu from finance brings me the payslip for my signature, I can tell from the overtime pay that everyone is working very hard for this cause."

"It would be great if we succeeded, but it's okay if we didn't."

Liang Can looked around and gave himself a thumbs-up: "You guys just keep your heads down and do your work. If you lose, it's on me."

"Then let's begin!"

At Liang Can's command, everyone got to work.

My phone chimed in my pocket.

Liang Can took out his phone and glanced at it; it was Fei Ke.

Young Master Fei has been working part-time at Lin Ying's company recently, helping Liang Can gather information.

Similarly, he was also a double agent, passing on some of Liang Can's intelligence to Lin Ying.

[Brother Can, Lin Ying has confirmed her spokesperson; it's xxx.]

After reading the message, Liang Can clicked his tongue and laughed inwardly.

The name Fei Ke brought is that of a first-tier celebrity. Although not at the top level, her endorsement fee, calculated according to the usual two-year period, is at least tens of millions.

That's hilarious! You spent all your money on hiring celebrities, how could you possibly have any resources to compete with me on content quality?

On the other hand, some investors and institutions that follow Liang Can are also puzzled as to why he would choose two relatively unknown male celebrities to promote him when he clearly had better options.

One is Jin Dong, and the other is Wang Kai.

These two are not well-known now, but what's the rush? Just wait a few more months, and then they can compete again.

That's how the entertainment industry works; an unknown artist only needs one drama to become a sensation.

Liang Can timed it perfectly, making a concerted effort to capitalize on the popularity of "Nirvana in Fire" and "The Disguiser" during their respective release periods.

It's important to know that the difference in endorsement fees between an artist before and after they become famous is enormous.

As for Zhao Liying, Liang Can originally didn't have much hope. He communicated with her with the attitude that it would be best if it worked out, but if not, he would get to know her first and then have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.

Just a few days ago, the other party's agency gave a clear answer, indicating that cooperation was possible.

They saw the potential in the college student market that Campus Diary focuses on and were prepared to achieve a mutually beneficial and win-win situation.

Fei Ke chuckled mischievously on the other end of the phone: "Brother Can, I'm already looking forward to seeing Lin Ying's expression then. You know, everyone in this company is extremely dissatisfied with Lin Ying's decision to spend a fortune on hiring big stars, because the funds in the account aren't enough. They had to deduct from employee performance bonuses to make up the difference."

"Although Lin Ying said that she would make up for this part of the performance bonus after the APP becomes profitable, everyone knows that this money will definitely not be paid to them."

This was expected.

Liang Can asked, "Has Lin Ying recently asked you to come over and gather information from me?"

"Of course I've said that."

"I told her as you instructed, that you'd spend half an hour at a time."

Liang Can frowned: "What do you mean? Didn't I tell you to speak for an hour at a time?"

Fei Ke: "No, you can't last longer than me."

Liang Can: "But based on my understanding of your physical condition, you haven't even lasted half an hour."

"Bullshit! If you're not happy, let's settle this one day!" Fei Ke retorted angrily.

Garlic bird, garlic bird, this is garlic bird.

Fei Ke continued, "She also inquired about who you would invite to be your spokesperson. After learning that it was Jin Dong and Wang Kai, Lin Ying laughed for a long time in the office, saying that she didn't even know who these two were if she hadn't specifically searched them on Baidu."

"Didn't you tell her that Zhao Liying also agreed to cooperate?"

"I did tell her, but Lin Ying still seemed very relaxed, after all, Zhao Liying wasn't as famous as the celebrity she invited."

Liang Can smiled and said, "Alright, let's wait and see."

Putting his phone back in his pocket, Liang Can turned around and went back to work.

He didn't care about Lin Ying at all. The reason he sent Fei Ke to gather information was simply to satisfy his perverse sense of humor.

I just want to see my opponent's adorable expression of being unable to beat me or take me down.

The work since the app was launched has been busy and fulfilling, and everything is quietly changing.

CBD, an office building

Lin Ying, who likes to wear bodycon skirts, walked into the office carrying an expensive limited-edition bag.

After tossing her bag aside, Lin Ying immediately had her secretary call a meeting.

"Our app has been online for a few days now. How is it going?" Lin Ying asked, looking around.

A department head stood up, holding a notebook, and reported: "According to our department's data, hiring popular celebrities as spokespeople has indeed brought in a considerable number of downloads, but user retention data is not high, so our app's content may need some breakthroughs."

After listening, Lin Ying nodded slightly: "This shows that my decision to invite a popular celebrity was the right one. I know you all have some complaints about this decision in private, but facts have proven that I was right."

"Look at you!"

Lin Ying slammed her hand on the table, her voice growing increasingly cold: "I pay you such high salaries to create content that can retain users, and now the user retention rate is so low, who will take responsibility for this?!"

Damn it, the big boss is the first to try and shift the blame, huh? The old-timer who'd been with Lin Ying since the beginning of her business thought to himself, "Back then, they copied Liang Can perfectly well, even making a little money. Why not?"

Now that you've expanded your operations, you've stopped copying and insist on creating original content. This sudden shift is tantamount to abandoning your original users. You dare to make such a foolish decision and then blame us for not doing our job properly?

Another content manager couldn't help but speak up: "President Lin, transformation takes time and may not even be successful. My suggestion is to quickly resume the original steps before all the old users are lost."

Lin Ying remained silent.

Does that mean I can't make a name for myself if I stop copying Liang Can?
At this point, a legal representative spoke up: "If we continue to plagiarize Liang Can as before, he might sue us. An app and a web account are different. Getting into a lawsuit would be a huge blow to the company's reputation."

"Okay, stop talking."

Lin Ying impatiently reprimanded everyone: "Instead of wasting time talking here, go back and think of a solution. Get out of here and let me have some peace and quiet."

The middle and senior executives present exchanged glances, then got up and left.

Lin Ying was sitting alone in her office when she heard a knock on the door.

"Didn't I tell you not to bother me!" Lin Ying shouted angrily as she looked up.

Outside the door: "President Lin, it's me, Fei Ke, Liang Can's roommate."

Before the person outside even introduced himself, Lin Ying recognized him as Fei Ke.

Apart from Fei Ke, no one else in the entire company could speak with such a fawning and humble tone.

Lin Ying was very pleased with this.

She even considered having Fei Ke officially join the company and stay on to keep her happy.

"Enter."

After receiving permission, Fei Ke bowed and pushed open the door, walked quickly to Lin Ying's side, and naturally began to relax her shoulders and neck.

"Mr. Lin, is this pressure appropriate?"

Lin Ying closed her eyes and enjoyed the moment, nodding slightly: "Not bad, Xiao Fei, you're a sensible and good child."

“I’m just repaying a debt of gratitude. President Lin has been kind to me, so naturally I have to serve President Lin well.” Seeing that Lin Ying was so happy, Fei lowered his voice and said, “President Lin, don’t be too anxious. Liang Can spent a lot of money to hire celebrities this time. Apart from Zhao Liying, the other two are not worth mentioning at all. It’s like he wasted his money.”

"If you calculate it that way, he actually lost more."

Lin Ying was very pleased: "That's right, tip, you're the one who makes the most interesting point."

Fei Ke chuckled and said, "That's right. Before, in the dorm, Liang Can said something like, 'These two male celebrities have two dramas coming out soon, and they're sure to be hits.' It's hilarious. What makes him so confident? Who does he think he is?"

kindness?
Lin Ying opened her eyes, indicating that Fei Ke didn't need to massage her shoulders anymore, and turned on her computer: "What's the name of the drama?"

Fei Ke pretended to try to remember, then slapped his forehead: "I think it's called something like 'Nirvana in Fire,' and there's another one called 'The Disguiser,' just from the names they're bound to flop."

"Nirvana in Fire, The Disguiser."

Lin Ying wrote down the name and said to Fei Ke, "Alright, you can go out now."

"Alright, Mr. Lin, please feel free to contact me if you need anything." Fei Ke bowed slightly and turned to leave.

Stepping out of the office, Fei Ke glanced back at the tightly closed door and chuckled wickedly, "You better not break down, tsk tsk."

in the office
Lin Ying searched for the drama "The Disguiser", clicked on the first episode, crossed her arms and sneered, "I want to see just how good your eye is, Liang Can, and what makes you so sure that these two unknown little artists can become famous!"

The Disguiser is a spy drama, and Ming Lou has a classic line that is still frequently used as a meme online ten years later.

"You submit the report, I'll approve the note, and give him the death benefits."

In the video, Ming Lou, who had just brutally killed a Special Agent No. 76, spoke arrogantly.

Wearing headphones, Lin Ying stared at Ming Lou, who was hailed as a heartthrob among housewives, and was secretly taken aback: "This older man is so handsome?"

Before she knew it, she had watched several episodes in a row.

Not content with just watching, she also ordered a milk tea and some snacks, eating while watching.

Hu Ge is so handsome, Wang Kai is so handsome, and Jin Dong is so handsome too!
The plot is also very interesting and well-paced. The girl named Song Yi is also very beautiful, and she looks absolutely stunning in a cheongsam.

Did that female lead get the role because she brought her own funding? How can someone who looks like that be the female lead?
Damn it, how did Song Yi die? And such a tragic death!

When Lin Ying came to her senses and turned to look out the window, it was already dark outside.

She took off her headphones in astonishment: "I actually watched TV dramas all day?"

On the desk was an empty milk tea and several opened packets of snacks.

Time flies so fast, I didn't even realize it.

But doesn't this just prove that "The Disguiser" is a rare gem of a drama?
Lin Ying's expression shifted between anger and despair. She slammed her fist on the keyboard in frustration: "It's just a lucky guess! It must be a lucky guess!"

I don't believe it! I don't believe there are people in this world with such good luck!

They hired two male celebrities they'd never even heard of to endorse their products, and right after the endorsements were completed, their drama was released, and it was so good!

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Remembering something, Lin Ying immediately straightened the keyboard and started searching for "Nirvana in Fire": "One season is good, but it's impossible for the second season to be good too. What kind of political intrigue historical drama is this? The main audience for TV dramas is women, and they don't like watching historical political intrigue!"

Lin Ying opened "Nirvana in Fire," took a deep breath, and began watching.

Three episodes in one go.

Lin Ying's hands, which were resting on the table, had unconsciously clenched into fists, and she gritted her teeth in anger.

"Wow, you look so good again!"

"Wu Lei is so young and cute, little puppies are the best."

Lin Ying hated herself for being so spineless, and finally gritted her teeth and turned off the video.

She leaned weakly against the office chair, her gaze unfocused.

Liang Can, that bastard, has profited from this again! He's going to profit from this again!

Ever since Liang Can humiliated me at the entrepreneurs' forum that day, this man has been haunting me.

Without a doubt, once these two dramas finish airing, Jin Dong and Wang Kai will experience a surge in popularity. They will then be inundated with offers for new scripts, variety shows, and endorsements, and their fame will skyrocket.

At that time, the fame of Campus Diary will also rise!

Most importantly, Liang Can not only sought out these two people, but also Zhao Liying, whose career was already going smoothly.

She also has a period drama waiting to be released this year, co-starring with Wallace Huo, one of the Four Beauties of Tianya!

"We're doomed. All three spokespeople are going to become wildly popular this year." Lin Ying's voice trembled as she spoke.

The A-list celebrity she invited, despite his talent and experience, hasn't had a single project this year.

Lin Ying no longer doubts whether Zhao Liying's upcoming historical romance drama will be a hit; that's not important.

Having learned from the examples of "Nirvana in Fire" and "The Disguiser," she no longer doubted Liang Can's judgment.

This is why Lin Ying was extremely angry, to the point of being impotently furious.

She's extremely angry right now, really, really angry.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" Lin Ying opened a favorites folder, which was full of photos of Liang Can.

She stared at the photo, her face contorted in a grimace, her body trembling slightly: "Go to hell, go to hell, go to hell!"

Suddenly, Lin Ying tensed up and then slumped into the boss's chair.

She took a few tissues to wipe her hands, breathing slightly heavily.

Only in this situation, using this method, would Lin Ying feel a sense of revenge.

She mentally tormented Liang Can, imagining his weak state after she had drained him dry. Even so, Lin Ying was still not satisfied. She decided to rest for a while and then go for another round of mental stimulation by looking at Liang Can's photo.

Campus Diary Studio

Liang Can sneezed several times in a row in the office.

He took a few tissues, sniffed, and muttered to himself, "That's strange. Why do I keep having this disgusting feeling of having my virginity taken away? What's wrong with me?"
