After rebirth, I only date bad girls

Chapter 342 Little sister, what is your ideal type?

Qi Mingyue crossed her legs, looking confused: "How come I didn't know that my father was going to invest a full 500 million yuan in you?"

Liang Can: "You need to know, then you'll be the father."

Qi Mingyue: "."

Seeing Qi Mingyue's speechless expression, Liang Can reached out and pried her legs apart: "You should sit properly. Don't you know that crossing your legs too much can cause scoliosis? You're so young and you're not learning proper manners!"

You're bothering with this too?

Qi Mingyue was about to retort when she heard Liang Can's cheerful voice: "Don't forget, your parents told me to take good care of you."

As he spoke, Liang Can looked Qi Mingyue up and down with great interest.

Qi Mingyue felt a little uncomfortable under Liang Can's intense gaze. She subconsciously tugged at the hem of her skirt and pulled her feet back.

You little vixen, what do you take me for?

Would Brother Can be tempted by your beautiful feet?
"My dear Mingyue, I know you all too well. You come from a privileged background and are very intelligent. Although you don't show it on the surface, you're actually quite proud, aren't you?"

Qi Mingyue remained silent, only rolling her eyes at Liang Can.

Liang Can shrugged: "To be honest, you are indeed very outstanding."

Qi Mingyue glanced at Liang Can in surprise, wondering why he was praising her.

Then Liang Can continued, "Among ordinary people, he is indeed considered outstanding."

"But in the eyes of a true genius like me, you are no different from an ordinary person."

Liang Can smiled broadly: "So, from now on, remember to stop acting all high and mighty in front of me. You need to learn from a true senior. Remember the saying, 'Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me.' Keep it in mind."

“With my current status and position, scalped tickets for my lectures could easily fetch tens of thousands of yuan. Giving you so much free is really a bargain for you, kid.” Liang Can still felt he was getting the short end of the stick.

Qi Mingyue was furious: "Ten thousand, huh? I'll transfer it to you!"

Liang Can: "You also think deep down that what I said is worth a lot of money, right?"

"."

Qi Mingyue took a deep breath and said calmly, "I just don't want you to say such absurd things again. Consider it paying to avoid trouble."

Liang Can scoffed, "Money that you didn't earn yourself, you're so generous with it."

Qi Mingyue: "Uncle Liang, as an elder, aren't you being a bit too harsh with your words?"

To be fair, although Mingyue is arrogant and smug, she is still very polite when she speaks.

"Then let your uncle inquire about your private life."

"Uncle, that's even more presumptuous."

"Oh dear, elders just like to bring up topics that kids hate," Liang Can laughed. "Just think of me as a real greasy old man."

Qi Mingyue really wanted to say that in her heart, you've already reached this level of importance.

But Liang Can wasn't ashamed at all because of that little glance. He found it quite strange that so many boys were afraid to make eye contact with girls.

In any case, whenever Liang Can makes eye contact with a girl, the girl is always the first to look away, and some of them will even show signs of shyness and blushing.

"I really don't understand," Can-ge thought, touching his face, which resembled Minato Namikaze's.

"So, Uncle will help you find and keep an eye out for the kind of boy our little Mingyue likes," Liang Can said with a smile.

Qi Mingyue narrowed her eyes and said calmly, "I am an intellectual type. I like people who are rational, never lose their head, have meticulous logical thinking, and never procrastinate."

"Isn't that me?"

"."

Qi Mingyue couldn't take it anymore: "Uncle Liang, sometimes I find you really shameless. Is being shameless the key to success?"

"There are many keys to success, and shamelessness is just one of them."

Liang Can shrugged, looking very serious: "The problem is, I really meet all the conditions you just mentioned. If you don't believe me, go ask someone else."

"Ask Sheng Shuyi?"

"Then you're doomed. She only saw you as a potential competitor. If you ask her that, she'll see you as a target to eliminate."

"."

Qi Mingyue was truly facing the most terrifying interrogation of her adulthood. She helplessly waved her hand and said, "In addition to these conditions, I'll add one more: except you, except you!"

The last sentence was almost a low growl.

"I was just reminding you that I'm not a man you can covet, why are you getting angry?"

Liang Can pursed his lips: "Niece, remember, you must be polite in front of your elders. Be careful next time."

Without giving Qi Mingyue a chance to speak, Liang Can pushed open the door and got out of the car.

bang~
The passenger door closed.

Liang Can went around to the back seat and knocked on the car window.

Qi Mingyue rolled down the car window, suppressing her emotions, and calmly asked, "Is there anything else you want to say, Uncle Liang?"

"No, I just remembered that you haven't said goodbye to your elders yet."

"."

After a long silence, Qi Mingyue slowly spoke: "Uncle Liang, please be careful on the road. Goodbye."

"My dear, my little niece!"

Liang Can straightened up, put his hands in his pockets, laughed heartily, and strode away.

Watching Liang Can's departing figure, Qi Mingyue gritted her teeth and cursed inwardly, "That bastard, is he out of his mind?!"

Liang Can hadn't gone far when he turned around and asked loudly, "Did you just curse at me?"

"no!"

Qi Mingyue responded loudly, then immediately closed the car window and urged the driver, who had just gotten into the car, "Master Chen, hurry up and go!"

Qi Mingyue only breathed a sigh of relief after the car started moving into the traffic lane.

She was genuinely afraid that Liang Can would chase after her like a zombie.

Looking out the window, Qi Mingyue recalled Liang Can's smiling words.

You are quite outstanding, but that's compared to ordinary people.

Compared to a genius like me, you're just an ordinary person.

You think you're so arrogant? You have no right to be arrogant in front of me.

That's roughly the gist of it.

Qi Mingyue is a girl who is good at self-reflection, which is why she seems more mature than her peers.

“It was probably me who asked Liang Can why I didn’t know that my father was going to invest 500 million in him that brought him this ridicule.”

Qi Mingyue thought to herself: In Liang Can's eyes, I am just a naive girl who doesn't know anything but pretends to know. He probably got used to those second-generation rich kids who hide under their parents' protection, accomplish nothing but always like to brag, and that's why he made this comment.

Thinking of this, Qi Mingyue gave a soft hum.

There are countless examples of prodigies who failed to live up to their potential; can you, Liang Can, break this curse? As for asking me what kind of guy I like?
He's just here to show off!
Thinking of this, Qi Mingyue couldn't help but pout and sulk.

In the following period, rumors circulated from time to time within the industry that Liang Can would receive a large investment from Dahui Capital, and that the person who facilitated this cooperation was Qi Shuping, a well-known trader in the capital.

Since it was just a rumor, neither side needed to come forward to clarify it.

To outsiders, it seems like nothing has happened, but within the industry, especially for e-commerce platforms that compete with Liang Can, it's attracting a lot of attention.

Shanghai, Xingyin Technology Network Company
Few people have heard of this company, but its apps are incredibly famous.

Small sweet potato.

This app does have its merits, such as product recommendations and travel guides; the content is indeed quite good.

But clearly, Xiaohongshu's success is due to some other unusual groups.

This group is already a mysterious and unpredictable force. Ordinary people who dare to say a word will be attacked and their names will be posted on Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book) with a bounty on their heads.

But so far, the reward has been offered but not yet claimed.

"A mixed bag of praise and criticism, with more criticism than praise," is how Liang Can describes Little Sweet Potato.

Liang Can's Campus Diary is an elite version that takes the best and discards the worst. Relying on college student users, it has almost exhausted the path of Xiaohongshu.

Qu Fang, one of the founders of the app, is listening attentively to a report from her subordinate.

"This year, we expect to establish strategic partnerships with more than 100 brands, including Versace and Chanel, and we have already signed more than 70% of the agreements."

Qu Fang raised her hand: "I already know all of that. Now tell me something I don't know, such as whether Qingning in Hangzhou has actually reached an agreement with Dahui Capital on the specific amount of investment?"

This is a very important question.

Xiaohongshu has already begun deploying its overseas e-commerce business. If Qingning quickly follows suit, the battle will be extremely fierce.

The user groups of the two apps are already highly integrated, but from all perspectives, Qingning has a slight advantage, so Qu Fang's concerns are not unfounded.

Most importantly, put yourself in their shoes. The two founders of Xiaohongshu, Qu Fang and Mao Wenlong, are both graduates of prestigious universities and have worked in well-known investment banks. Mao Wenlong even had in-depth conversations with Zhang Xiaolong, the father of VX, before they started the company with a mature entrepreneurial concept.

Then you tell them that in Hangzhou, two or three hundred kilometers away, there is a 19-year-old college student named Liang Can who, in just two years, has completely overshadowed them in every way.

Anyone would feel comfortable in that situation.

Seeing that Qu Fang's expression was not good, another founder, Mao Wenlong, who was also Qu Fang's close friend, spoke up: "President Qu, these are all unfounded rumors. Why don't we focus our attention more on our own work?"

Qu Fang glanced at Mao Wenlong, then waved to her subordinates and said, "You can all go out now."

The subordinates looked at each other, then got up and left.

After everyone left, Qu Fang finally couldn't help but complain to Mao Wenlong: "How can I not worry? The market won't allow two such similar products to compete for the same user group. Don't you understand the principle that two tigers can't share one mountain? Either Liang Can gets better and better while we decline, or the other way around. There is absolutely no third possibility!"

"I don't think you need to worry."

Mao Wenlong looked at Qu Fang and said calmly, "Don't you think Liang Can's current business segments are too numerous and too varied? That's simply not something an app can contain."

"The more comprehensive he wants, the more devastating his defeat will be."

Qu Fang pondered for a moment and agreed with Mao Wenlong's words: "You're right. Qingning is now targeting the lower-tier market, marketing itself as young and trendy, and even has to spare some effort for a video section. It's too complicated."

"So, I admit that Liang Can is a very talented and gifted young man, but he is young and arrogant and wants to be superior in every field, so he will fall very hard."

Mao Wenlong smiled and said, "What we need to do right now is to proceed steadily and step by step. The crisis facing Qingning is already visible to the naked eye."

"But they received investment from Tencent. Didn't Tencent's investment department see these crises?"

"."

Mao Wenlong was taken aback. He lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment: "Yes, logically speaking, Tencent Technology shouldn't have missed it."

So, what is Liang Can's backup plan?

"In short, no matter what, we must hold our ground, especially our female users, and we must keep them firmly in our grasp."

Qu Fang said to Mao Wenlong, "Perhaps it's time to think of a way to retain female users as much as possible. What do you think?"

Mao Wenlong nodded: "I agree."

Hangzhou, Qingning Technology
Liang Can and Tong Zhu were discussing several venture capital firms that had recently expressed interest.

"After comprehensive evaluation, Qi Shuping's qualifications are actually the best and most suitable."

Tong Zhu said to Liang Can, "But he and the executives of the Ali Group have the same bad habit, which is that they like to interfere in specific matters. If you want to take this money, Mr. Liang, you may have to make concessions on some details."

Liang Can flipped through the documents without looking up: "Tencent Technology hasn't even offered to interfere with my management style. Who does Qi Shuping think he is? Do I have to be subservient to him?"

Tong Zhu chuckled a few times: "Investors definitely won't interfere too much, they might just ask questions more frequently. It's actually simple, just assign an employee to handle their communication."

That would only add to your troubles.

Liang Can said to Tong Zhu, "Back then, it was a very wise choice for Tencent to switch to the investment route instead of constantly trying to open its Sharingan. If they had relied on their strong capital and the natural advantage of QQ to frantically create CPs, there would have been only one outcome: being dismantled."

"Similarly, if an investor oversteps their bounds, there is only one outcome for them: I will do everything in my power to kick them out."

Tong Zhu nodded silently: "If you want Qi Shuping's money but don't want to be controlled by him, then there is only one way."

"Mr. Liang, you have proven your strong control over Qingning Technology with your results."

"Strong control?"

Liang Can twirled the pen in his hand and said with a smile, "We can begin now."

Several days later
A short message from Qingning Technology's official website began to appear everywhere on the internet and in discussion groups in related industries.

Effective immediately, the Pinpinduo section under the original Qingning APP will be officially separated into the Pinpinduo APP and operated independently from the Qingning APP. The original short drama section will be temporarily offline from today, and will be launched at the end of the year along with the short video platform. This is Liang Can, Chairman of Qingning Technology.

Almost overnight, Pinduoduo became independent and became the second independently operated APP under Qingning Technology.

This was Liang Can's answer to Qi Shuping.

Do you want to see how much control I actually have over this company?
Then I'll show you with my actions that in this company, anything I, Liang Can, want to do will only have one outcome.

One call and a hundred responses.

Liang Can's decisions will be delivered to the execution end without any hindrance, and all links in this process will be smooth.

This is the power of a brilliant leader and a young team that has not yet been tainted by the ills of large corporations.

Liang Can originally planned to operate the Qingning APP and Pinpinduoduo separately, so that their completely different user groups would not cause chaos.

The future landscape is quite clear.

Young people who pursue trends and fashion will continue to use the Qinglime APP.

If you want to buy cheap goods, like group buying, and grab coupons, switch to Pinduoduo.

"In the past few years, limes have been making more money. In a few more years, Pinduoduo will be making more money. The wheel of fortune turns."

Liang Can stood next to the office of the short video platform's R&D team, looking at the busy yet orderly work atmosphere inside, crossed his arms, and smiled.

"And the one that has been consistently making money is about to emerge."

As for the concerns of the two founders of Xiaohongshu in Shanghai, Liang Can had no interest in inquiring about them.

Who said I considered you my competitors?

If only your profits could be as high as your shows!
