Chapter 152 Doing it with the Senior Counselor (4K)

Jiang Xun and Yan Jin strolled along the riverbank in the park. One was tall and handsome, and the other was tall and beautiful. They looked like gods and goddesses described in novels. Walking side by side, they created a scene full of high-class cinematic charm.

"Thanks to Professor Yan's help, I don't know many people in Beijing to begin with. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know who to turn to," Jiang Xun said sincerely.

The first person he thought of was Yan Jin. Song Ziyan probably didn't have such connections, and Professor Gao Wen was too busy. As for Su Nianhe and Tang Yufei, he wasn't very familiar with them. After thinking it over, Yan Jin was the most suitable candidate.

When Yan Jin received his call, she only said one sentence: "I'll ask for you, it should be fine."

Not long after hanging up, she called back and told Jiang Xun that his aunt could be transferred to Peking University People's Hospital, where the best specialists would take over, and that the fastest bone marrow matching would be arranged.

In other words, Yan Jin herself is a professor at the School of Biomedical Engineering, and she is also an external expert of the People's Hospital. Naturally, she knows many senior officials of the People's Hospital. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for someone else to be directly assigned there.

Yan Jin didn't express her gratitude to Jiang Xun; she simply said:

"That patient isn't your biological aunt, is she? That young girl Zhao Ruoyu told me all about it."

Hearing this, Jiang Xun was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected that Zhao Ruoyu, who was usually quite quiet, could get along so well with Yan Jin. However, he didn't intend to hide it from Yan Jin, so he directly confessed:
"I always thought she was adopted by my grandparents, but after getting sick and doing bone marrow matching, I found out she was adopted by my grandparents. But after all these years of relationship, I can't just ignore it."

"Really?" Yan Jin glanced at Jiang Xun and said casually, "I heard that she has never had a good relationship with your family. I thought you were able to put aside your prejudices and save her because of your pretty little cousin."

"How could that be!" Jiang Xun immediately became furious. "Professor Yan, do you really think I'm such a lecherous person?"

"Isn't that right?" Yan Jin asked calmly, her gaze towards him somewhat strange.

Jiang Xun looked at Yan Jin with a hurt expression. Yan Jin subconsciously looked away from her deep, star-like eyes. He noticed that Yan Jin's crystal-clear earlobes had turned slightly pink.

Clearly, she must have thought of their two previous intimate encounters. The first time could be considered unintentional, but the second time, she had deliberately provoked Jiang Xun to take advantage of her. She still vividly remembered the burning look in Jiang Xun's eyes at that time.

In the ensuing silence, an ambiguous atmosphere began to spread, but neither of them intended to break the silence, whether they were enjoying it or simply didn't know what to say.

Given Yan Jin's extremely taciturn nature, it was almost impossible to get her to break the silence on her own initiative. So, after a few minutes, Jiang Xun took the initiative to ask:
"Where is your husband?"

He regretted asking the question as soon as he did. He felt that his emotional intelligence was suppressed when facing Yan Jin, and he was not as at ease in front of other girls, always asking some brainless questions.

Upon hearing this question, Yan Jin glanced at Jiang Xun indifferently and casually retorted with a question in return:
"You care about him?"

"No, I'm more concerned about his wife," Jiang Xun answered in his heart, but said aloud:

"No, I hurt him last time, and I felt really bad about it, so I just wanted to ask."

"I don't know, I didn't ask," Yan Jin replied casually.

"Huh?" Jiang Xun was taken aback. "Don't you live together?"

"Hmm." Yan Jin simply hummed in response, seemingly unwilling to say more.

Jiang Xun didn't ask any more questions, but her mind seemed to suddenly become active.

These two don't even live together? Could it be that Tang Yuzhe is really impotent?
Judging from his tall and strong build, he must be a skilled fighter. Could he be all show and no substance?

Oh, what a wicked man! He has such a beautiful wife, yet he leaves her alone in her room every night. What a waste!

Stop! Don't let your mind wander!
Jiang Xun quickly stopped his wandering thoughts. If he continued thinking like this, it would be dangerous. He absolutely could not do anything immoral, he absolutely could not!
He quickly changed the subject, saying, "When are you free? My sister and I would like to treat you to a meal. After all, you've helped us so much, we should at least show our appreciation."

"Let's talk about it once your aunt's condition stabilizes. Your sister probably isn't in the mood for a meal right now," Yan Jin said casually, neither refusing nor agreeing.

Jiang Xun didn't insist. He had only asked casually, and given Yan Jin's personality, it would be strange if he accepted his invitation.

However, although Yan Jin did not agree to his request, she then asked him, seemingly casually:

"Yufei invited me to go hiking and horseback riding in a couple of days. She asked if you wanted to come along."

"Boss Tang actually invited me along?" Jiang Xun asked with a smile. "She finally found a chance to go on a date with you alone, why would she invite me? To be a third wheel?"

Yan Jin knew Jiang Xun was teasing her about Tang Yufei pursuing her, so she gave a light snort and said:

"I see you're pretty free all day, why don't you come and drive for us?"

"Can't we not go?" Jiang Xun said helplessly. He really didn't want to be a third wheel. If Tang Yufei genuinely invited him, that would be fine, but if it was just Yan Jin making a unilateral decision, Tang Yufei would definitely hate him.

"You have to go!" Yan Jin glared at Jiang Xun, her tone returning to the aloofness of Professor Yan, before turning her head to show Jiang Xun the back of her head.

……

After leaving Yan Jin's residential area, Jiang Xun went directly to Zhichun Road. In the past few days, his gentle and sensible senior counselor had already helped him rent an office space and even recruited several good website editors.

Song Ziyan knows a lot of people. She was a member of the Peking University Student Union and served as its vice president for a period of time. Because of her gentle personality and stunning looks, she naturally has many friends.

However, the company staff she recruited for Jiang Xun this time were mostly women, since many men are unwilling to do jobs like website editing and operations.

When Jiang Xun arrived at the address given by Song Ziyan at the 7th floor of Unit 4, Building 4, Jinqiu Jiayuan Community on Zhichun Road, he saw a sign at the entrance that read "Douyin Network Technology Co., Ltd."

When Jiang Xun registered the novel website, he directly registered this company name.

Why use this name? It's simple. Jiang Xun is very familiar with it. When he wants to make short videos, create social media platforms, produce films and TV series, or run an MCN, this is the first name that comes to mind.

Zhang Yiming probably never even considered using those two words, so he simply used them first.

Of course, right now the entire company only has one department, which is 'Tomato Novel Network'. All the company's employees work for the novel website, which should be considered a pioneer of Douyin Group.

The company's main entrance was open, and inside, seven or eight people could be seen working diligently with their heads down. Sitting at the front desk was none other than Li Zhenzhen, a girl from Sichuan and Chongqing dressed in a pink tracksuit.

The young girl was dressed simply, in a plain sports sweater that was slightly fitted, making her rather ample bust stand out.

Her pretty face was still free of makeup, and her long hair was tied into a neat single ponytail. She looked very simple, but she was still eye-catching. Li Zhenzhen was busy with her head down, but when she noticed someone coming in, she looked up and immediately showed a happy smile, revealing two small dimples on her cheeks.

"You're finally back, you hands-off boss!" Li Zhenzhen said subconsciously in her dialect, her voice soft and sweet, making anyone who heard it feel light as a feather.

Jiang Xun replied with a smile, "What, is my capable subordinate starting to be dissatisfied with me?"

Since Li Zhenzhen helped him at the memorial lecture hall last time, she has been working with Song Ziyan to help him with things like proofreading manuscripts, and recently she has even taken on most of the company's work.

Now she not only serves as the company's editor, receptionist, and copywriter, but also helps Song Ziyan with employee recruitment. It's no exaggeration to call her a capable assistant.

"How could I dare?" the little girl said again in her dialect, before speaking properly in Mandarin:

"Hello, boss!"

Her Mandarin pronunciation also has a slightly coquettish tone, lacking the softness of dialects, but with a more lively feel.

"Hmm, so good." Jiang Xun teased the little girl with a smile, only to be met with a "Good my foot!" from her.

Li Zhenzhen led Jiang Xun inside, and by then all the company employees had already noticed Jiang Xun, the legendary boss and CEO.

Although they had heard of his great reputation and knew that he was young and handsome, the group of young people were still quite surprised when they actually met him in person.

"Hey boss, you're so handsome! Even more handsome than in the photos!" A bold senior girl said with a smile, which immediately attracted the teasing and playful comments from most of the girls.

They were all students at Peking University, mostly sophomores and juniors, though some were seniors and first-year graduate students. So they naturally had to be more casual with Jiang Xun, their junior.

Jiang Xun didn't put on airs like a boss. He really acted like a junior student, joking and chatting with them, and quickly closed the distance between himself and his employees.

The people Song Ziyan recruits should be relatively easy to manage, and he won't personally participate in management; he can hand it all over to the senior counselor later.

The company's departments are now almost fully established. There are five editors, two men and three women, who are responsible for reviewing, revising and optimizing manuscripts. Li Zhenzhen and Song Ziyan sometimes help out as well.

We need one contracted editor to handle the contract signing process for the works.

One marketing specialist is needed to develop and implement marketing strategies, increase product exposure, and be familiar with new media channels and user profile analysis.

One SEO specialist, responsible for improving website search engine rankings.

One graphic designer/front-end designer is needed, responsible for page design and user experience optimization.

Other roles, such as project manager, copywriter/content editor, and human resources specialist, are all shared by Song Ziyan and Li Zhenzhen.

Jiang Xun gave them the position of editor-in-chief. Although she was a bit too young, she had a wide range of reading experience and was familiar with both online and traditional literature. Moreover, she was a top student from the Chinese Department of Peking University, so she was definitely qualified for the job.

Song Ziyan is now the director, or rather the manager. She oversees the entire company, from major financial expenditures and recruitment to minor matters like employee meals and company decoration.

These past few days have been exhausting for Song Ziyan and Li Zhenzhen, but fortunately, the company's employees have been actively helping, which has helped them keep the company afloat.

As for Jiang Xun, the president, he didn't seem to do anything except provide the money. Of course, he did do the core technology of the initial website architecture himself.

Jiang Xun learned from Li Zhenzhen that Song Ziyan had gone out to buy some company supplies, so he planned to ask Li Zhenzhen to go out with him to find the counselor, hoping to buy them some things and treat them to a big meal as a reward.

But the young girl insisted on completing today's data filing and decisively refused Jiang Xun's offer.

Jiang Xun had no choice but to accept the loss as part of his salary.

He called to ask for the location of his counselor, a senior student, and took a taxi there. When he saw Song Ziyan, she was carrying some things as she came out of the mall.

Today, she's still going for a gentle, mature look, wearing white fitted wide-leg pants, a dark blue U-neck cropped top, and her long hair is tied up in a pretty half-ponytail, with the top layer tied up and the bottom layer left loose, giving her a relaxed yet gentle appearance.

Two strands of hair framing her forehead added a touch of playfulness and girlish charm.

When Song Ziyan saw Jiang Xun, she was clearly pleasantly surprised. She stared blankly as Jiang Xun walked up to her, momentarily forgetting what to say.

"What, haven't seen you for a few days, don't you recognize me?" Jiang Xun stepped forward and took the things from her hands, then wrapped his other arm around her soft waist, pulling her close to him.

Song Ziyan blushed slightly, and leaned her head against his chest, saying softly:

"Didn't you say you had something important to do and would come to see me tonight?"

Jiang Xun kissed her forehead and whispered, "Doing it with the gentle and beautiful senior counselor is the most important thing."

"You're so annoying~" Song Ziyan playfully punched Jiang Xun's chest, her ears turning red, after all, they were still on the street.

Jiang Xun didn't care about anything else. He directly lifted the chin of the beauty in his arms, and under her captivating gaze, he lowered his head and gently kissed her lips.

Song Ziyan let out a soft moan, instantly becoming lost in Jiang Xun's passionate kiss.

The two kissed passionately on the bustling street, ignoring the stares of everyone around them, fully enjoying the excitement and love they shared.

However, Song Ziyan was ultimately shy, and after kissing for a while, she buried her head in Jiang Xun's arms, too embarrassed to look at anyone.

The two then returned the items to the company together and went out for a French meal.

That evening, Jiang Xun originally wanted to take his counselor, a senior student, to the Wenhua Hotel to overlook the night view of the Forbidden City, but she gently declined.

"Be good, junior. Go find your little sister from Beijing Dance Academy first. I'm not available these days." Song Ziyan blushed and pinched Xiao Jiangxun, speaking softly in his ear with her fragrant breath.

Jiang Xun also pinched Ziyan's little sister's nipples, knowing that it was true that her senior was inconvenient, but also knowing that she wasn't ready yet.

If he were to succeed so easily, he wouldn't be the Song Ziyan he knows.
