After rebirth, I only date bad girls

Chapter 297 Return Quickly, Chan-zai in Great Danger

"Hello, Sister Nan?"

“Mr. Liang, I’ve read your plans and vision for short video platforms. If possible, I’d like to discuss it with you in person right now.” Zhang Nan’s voice was filled with barely concealed excitement.

This was within Liang Can's expectations, after all, Zhang Nan was the one who started Douyin in its early stages, and Liang Can was using Zhang Nan's approach.

At this moment, this internet elite probably already considers Liang Can a close friend.

"Oh, okay then. Should I come to you, or should you come to me?" Liang Can asked with a smile.

"Of course, it was me who came."

"Okay, I'll send you my location."

After sending his location to Zhang Nan, Liang Can went downstairs and waited in the hotel lobby.

To be honest, Zhang Nan's late-night visit excited him even more than the fact that Jiang Yuan and Lin Xiangxiang had reached an agreement to knock on Liang Can's door together that night.

"I, Xiao Liang, am a top-notch career-minded individual!"

Only my career can make me forget about women.

Only my career can allow me to have women.

Rounding up, what I love most is actually my career.

While waiting for Zhang Nan to arrive, the pretty young lady on duty at the hotel reception even came over to ask Liang Can if he needed anything.

Considering that drinking tea or coffee at night would disrupt sleep, ordering two drinks would be troublesome for Zhang Nan if he drove himself.

"Two glasses of juice, please," Liang Can said to the receptionist.

"Okay, please wait a moment, sir." The receptionist nodded and swayed her hips as she went to get the juice.

Liang Can watched the receptionist's swaying figure and nodded repeatedly: "As expected of a big hotel, the service quality is top-notch, and the receptionists are all beautiful and have great figures."

After drinking half a glass of juice, Zhang Nan finally picked up his bag and walked into the hotel lobby through the revolving door.

"Sister Nan," Liang Can stood up and greeted her.

Zhang Nan strode over, holding Liang Can's proposal for building a short video platform: "President Liang, let's discuss this further."

Liang Can pretended not to understand: "What do you mean by that, Sister Nan?"

Zhang Nan sat down on the sofa, considered for a moment, and then looked at Liang Can: "President Liang, do you know anyone in our company?"

Liang Can laughed: "You don't think I obtained this plan through corporate espionage, do you?"

Zhang Nan shook his head: "I also think it's impossible, because there's no need for it at all. The capital market doesn't pay any attention to short video platforms right now. Even Kuaishou, the money they raised wouldn't be enough for a rising star like you to resort to commercial espionage."

Liang Can started to ponder again, then looked at Zhang Nan and pretended to make some guesses: "So, Sister Nan, you have this idea because our ideas coincide?"

Zhang Nan picked up the juice and took a big gulp, responding with silence.

"What a coincidence!"

Liang Can clapped his hands excitedly and stood up excitedly: "Doesn't this just prove that our vision for the future of short video platforms is correct?"

Zhang Nan blinked and said, "I just think this is too much of a coincidence."

"No, we are all on the right track."

Liang Can sat down again, pressing his elbows against his thighs as he looked at Zhang Nan: "Sister Nan, since you came to see me so late at night, it means you must be willing, right? So why not make a decision now, a decision that can change me and change your life?"

"Don't hesitate any longer, Sister Nan. Think about it, how many times in a lifetime do you get to meet someone so compatible? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

The receptionist, who had just delivered juice to Liang Can, perked up her ears.

He then looked at Liang Can with some disbelief.

"How could such a handsome young man pursue a woman so intensely?" The receptionist was utterly shocked.

The younger sister thought to herself, "Could he be the legendary 'mature woman fetishist'?"
Damn it, I was planning to ask this handsome young man out for a late-night snack during my shift change.

"Mr. Liang, Mr. Liang, please don't get agitated. Let me think about it some more, okay?" Zhang Nan was finding it difficult to handle Liang Can.

Receptionist: "?"

I was so devastated that I wanted to ask the heavens, what is wrong with this world?
She's so old, yet she still has to think about it when faced with the fervent pursuit of a young, handsome man.

Why even think about it? Just go and have fun!

Unaware of the receptionist's complex inner thoughts, Liang Can continued to persuade her, "Sister Nan, I know you can't let go of this place, which is understandable. You've worked hard in the capital for many years, and it's really hard for you to make that decision to give up everything here and come to Hangzhou with me. I won't force you."

"But if you are willing to come to Hangzhou, I will take care of everything for you. Please believe me, I have the ability."

The receptionist was absolutely thrilled.

What kind of plot is this in a female-oriented novel? A handsome, successful, and domineering young CEO goes to great lengths to provide the best life for a woman much older than himself.

Oh my god, this is making me want to swear to it!

Liang Can looked at Zhang Nan and analyzed her micro-expressions.

There are essentially two reasons why you might want a talented person to switch jobs.

First, she herself didn't want to work at the old company anymore, either due to personnel struggles or because her ambitions couldn't be realized, which obviously doesn't fit Zhang Nan's situation.

Therefore, the only option is to offer substantial profits.

So, Liang Can took out a small piece of paper from his pocket: "This is the salary and benefits I'm offering you. It's a little different from what Eileen promised."

Zhang Nan picked up the note and glanced at it briefly, then looked at Liang Can in astonishment: "President Liang, this..."

"I have always been the most generous when it comes to talented people."

Liang Can smiled at Zhang Nan and said, "Because I believe that as long as the two of us join forces, we can create a short video platform that is far superior to Kuaishou, and more popular and widely accepted." "Since success is already foreseeable, why not give you a little more?"

"And I can promise that in the future, as long as you do not do anything that harms the company's interests, and as long as our philosophies do not conflict, I can give you the greatest possible autonomy."

Bullshit.

We'll talk about it later; let's just keep it up for now.

Many rebellious warlords often told their subordinates, "Work hard for me, and once we conquer the world, I will share it with you."

The principle is the same.

Seeing that Zhang Nan was still hesitant, Liang Can began to devour him.

“Sister Nan, you are now in charge of the development of the short video platform at ByteDance, but ByteDance is already a big company. You were the one who was acquired before, so you can never be considered one of their own.”

"In ancient terms, you would be considered a son of a concubine, a son-in-law who marries into the family.

"If one day short video platforms become wildly popular and even become the foundation of ByteDance's business, how long do you think you could hold the CEO position?"

Liang Can spread his arms and patted his pockets: "But it's different here. If you join now, you'll be a founding member. No matter how big or strong the company becomes in the future, no one can shake your position."

"After all, no matter how low-key and focused you are on technology, Sister Nan, you can't be brought down by those college students under my command, right?"

"I personally despise office politics. I can guarantee that for at least five years, until the company becomes a behemoth with tens of thousands of employees, I will do my best to ensure personnel stability."

These words truly struck a chord with Zhang Nan.

Having said that, Liang Can said no more: "Sister Nan, please give me a definite answer within a month. If you do not refuse, I will start looking for a new project manager for the short video platform."

"Presumably, there will be two highly overlapping products on the market in the future. At that time, it will be difficult for you to say exactly what we talked about tonight."

Zhang Nan was speechless: "Liang Can, are you trying to play a trick on me?"

Liang Can shook his head: "After all, you can't judge a book by its cover. Even though we're completely innocent, we can't control what others think, right?"

Zhang Nan's expression changed; how could she not have thought of this?

Visiting Liang Can late at night, if word gets out, who knows what people will say behind my back.

If Liang Canzhen and ByteDance create a product that is extremely similar, even if ByteDance surpasses Liang Canzhen with its massive resources, Zhang Nan will probably be sidelined.

After a long silence, Zhang Nan looked at Liang Can: "A month?"

Liang Can nodded: "Yes, just one month."

Zhang Nan took a deep breath, stood up and said, "Okay, I will be in Hangzhou within a month."

Liang Can smiled, stood up and shook hands with Zhang Nan: "Welcome, Sister Nan, to our young and energetic team."

"Please rest assured, although my team is slightly inferior to more mature teams in various aspects, their enthusiasm and sincerity far surpass those of everyone else."

After seeing Zhang Nan off, Liang Can stretched and returned to his room.

He was too lazy to look for either Jiang Yuan or Lin Xiangxiang, so he went to sleep peacefully.

While Can Ge was fast asleep, Jiang Yuan and Lin Xiangxiang were unable to sleep all night, tossing and turning.

Both of them, without prior arrangement, pressed their water glasses against the wall and secretly listened to the sounds coming from next door.

It was very quiet, really quiet.

And so, one night later
Liang Can got up full of energy, checked out of the hotel, and headed to the airport.

By the time we arrived in Hangzhou, it was already evening.

This time, Liang Can was careful. Before leaving, he repeatedly told everyone not to reveal his itinerary, so as not to cause a scene like last time, where Sheng Shuyi and Wen Xiying came to pick him up at the airport one after the other, almost creating a chaotic situation.

Brother Can can't stand the words "battleground" anymore; he's having a great time.

So this time, it was Wang Yuan who picked up Liang Can.

Sitting in Yuanyuan's Cadillac, Liang Can waved his hand and said, "Let's go get a foot bath."

It wasn't that Liang Can wanted to soak his feet; it was mainly to highlight the occasion.

Rumor has it that Cadillac will automatically navigate to the nearest foot massage parlor, but it's unclear whether this is true or not.

Wang Yuan held the steering wheel with one hand, glanced at Liang Can, and hesitated before speaking.

Seeing this, Liang Can grumbled, "What's wrong? You won't even let me soak my feet?"

Wang Yuan: "Liang Can, I've noticed you're being really stingy lately. You weren't like this before."

got used to.

For example, Jiang Yuan paid for the hotel room when we went back to the capital.

It's roughly the same as Liang Can not spend a penny on this trip to the capital.

"What's wrong with you treating me to a foot bath? I've noticed you're being really stingy lately," Liang Can said, dissatisfied.

Wang Yuan glanced at Liang Can, then suddenly chuckled mischievously, "I'll give you a heads-up: you'll treat me to a foot bath, how about it?"

"Is the information accurate?" Liang Can asked, intrigued.

"Of course, do you want to hear it?"

"You said."

Wang Yuan leaned closer to Liang Can and said mysteriously, "According to reliable sources, Sheng Shuyi and Wen Xiying are secretly planning to live together."

Liang Can: “?”
