Chapter 158 Bunny Girl Zhao Ruoyu
Jiang Xun took Tang Yufei for a stroll through Sanlitun Taikoo Li. The newly built and opened North District was bustling with activity, and could be described as being teeming with people.

Tang Yufei had prepared a Christmas gift for Jiang Xun in advance, so he naturally took Tang Yufei to buy return gifts as well. If he saw anything he liked, he would also buy one for each of Chen Shixuan and the others, aiming to treat everyone equally.

Jiang Xun sent gifts to her older sister and Li Qingning, who are far away in Shanghai, He Lingling from Chicheng, and Yang Kaiyi from Hangzhou, even though she didn't have time to visit them yet.

"How many girlfriends do you have?" Tang Yufei was surprised to see that Jiang Xun had picked out a lot of things, many of which were the same.

This guy has more girlfriends than she does.

Of course, there was no jealousy involved. Her relationship with Jiang Xun was completely devoid of any feelings; it was purely based on mutual attraction to each other's beauty—in short, pure lust.

Tang Yufei had never been interested in men before. Now that she had finally met one who interested her, she naturally wanted to have some fun with him. However, it was a bit unclear who was the one having fun with whom.

"That's called a confidante, you know?" Jiang Xun didn't answer Tang Yufei's question directly, since he didn't need to explain it to her anyway, and just gave a perfunctory answer.

"Tch!" Tang Yufei didn't press the matter, since she wasn't particularly concerned about it anyway.

The two had been strolling around Sanlitun for a short while when Jiang Xun received a phone call that surprised him. It was Zhang Yiming asking him to meet.

Jiang Xun also wanted to meet this famous richest man in the country from his previous life, so he agreed to meet Zhang Yiming in person.

"I want to go with you too." Tang Yufei hadn't even had a chance to play today, how could she let Jiang Xun leave like this?

Jiang Xun thought about it and didn't refuse. After all, it was just a normal meeting, not a business negotiation. Besides, the two of them weren't familiar with each other, and having Tang Yufei along would ease some of the awkwardness.

When Jiang Xun and Tang Yufei walked side by side into the coffee shop where they had arranged to meet Zhang Yiming, they immediately noticed a young man by the window because there were hardly any people in the shop at that time.

He sat in the corner by the window of the coffee shop, and looked to be no more than twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.

Her short hair was slightly messy, as if it had just been blown by the wind, with a few strands falling down her forehead.

His eyes weren't large, but they were dark and bright. Occasionally, when he looked out the window, his gaze was deep and focused, as if he were thinking about something important.

A pair of black-rimmed glasses sat on his nose, and the look in his eyes behind the lenses sometimes flickered, sometimes remained calm.

He was wearing a simple dark blue shirt with the cuffs slightly rolled up, revealing his muscular forearms.

The laptop screen on the table glowed faintly, reflecting off his face and outlining its clear contours.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, casting soft shadows on him and making him appear even more serene and reserved.

Is this the famous Zhang Yiming? Jiang Xun took a quick look at him. He didn't look much different from the pictures online, except that he looked much younger than Jiang Xun remembered. After all, he was only 28 years old.

While Jiang Xun was sizing up Zhang Yiming, Tang Yufei was also scrutinizing him. In Tang Yufei's eyes, not every man was worthy of her attention.

Don't be fooled by the fact that she and Jiang Xun seemed to have gotten together after only meeting once or twice. Don't forget that Jiang Xun displayed terrifying talent in all aspects, coupled with his near-perfect physical appearance, which combined to pique Miss Tang's interest.

"Just an ordinary person. Is this the powerful figure you were talking about?" Tang Yufei whispered in Jiang Xun's ear, somewhat dismissive.

Jiang Xun reached out and gently pinched her waist, chuckling, "I knew you were a sucker for good looks."

"You're the dog." Tang Yufei rolled her eyes at Jiang Xun.

At this moment, Zhang Yiming also noticed them. He immediately stood up, his gaze falling directly on Jiang Xun, while he merely nodded politely to Tang Yufei beside him.

"Brother Jiang Xun, right? You're even more handsome than in the photos online." Zhang Yiming's first words were a compliment, and he said it so sincerely that Jiang Xun was very pleased.

"Brother Zhang is younger than I imagined. I thought he would be a bald tech guru," Jiang Xun joked with a smile.

The two smiled at each other and then sat down opposite each other. Jiang Xun introduced Tang Yufei to Zhang Yiming, of course, as his friend. Tang Yufei was very sensible and didn't say much, letting Jiang Xun make the decision himself and giving him plenty of face.

Jiang Xun and Zhang Yiming did not experience the awkwardness of their first meeting as they had imagined. Instead, they felt like they had known each other for a long time, just like when they chatted online. They talked about their ideals, discussed the development of the times, and envisioned the future of the world.

Zhang Yiming was amazed by Jiang Xun's foresight and strategic vision. He never expected that this young man, who was almost ten years younger than him, could see the development of the Internet and global development so clearly.

He certainly couldn't have imagined that Jiang Xun was simply recounting some basic information he knew from his previous life.

Jiang Xun was truly shocked. No wonder he could become the richest man in the country. His vision and awareness were as if he could foresee the future. Many things that Jiang Xun himself had not thought of were mentioned by Zhang Yiming.

After some conversation, they finally got to the main topic: starting a business. They had talked about it online before, and they both had their own strengths. If they were to do something similar, they might both succeed, but neither of them could excel at it.

So they are considering whether to partner up, but if they do, they must clarify who will be the leader.

Zhang Yiming has been planning for so long, of course he wants to do it himself and doesn't want to work for someone else. Jiang Xun also has his own ambitions now; he wants to bring Zhang Yiming's team under his command.

The two naturally began to talk about their strengths. Zhang Yiming's greatest strengths were, of course, his rich personal experience, extensive network of contacts in the internet industry, and his outstanding personal abilities.

Jiang Xun, on the other hand, mainly possessed a certain amount of initial start-up capital and key technologies. Of course, he also had a good network of connections, but he needed introductions from others.

After arguing for a while, the two still couldn't decide who should take the lead, when Tang Yufei suddenly spoke up.

“Mr. Zhang, the Wang Qiong you just mentioned, the managing director of SIG Asia, has a good relationship with me. She often visits me. I even know Arthur Danzik at SIG headquarters. I believe that if I act as a bridge between them, they would be more willing to invest in Jiangxun.”

Tang Yufei wore a faint smile and spoke with great confidence, even with a hint of pride that Jiang Xun had never seen before.

Zhang Yiming was taken aback. He realized that this beautiful woman who was willing to play a supporting role to Jiang Xun seemed to have a rather scary background.

Tang Yufei, Tang?
While Zhang Yiming was still in a daze, Tang Yufei directly called Wang Qiong. The two chatted briefly, but anyone could hear the warmth and friendliness in Wang Qiong's voice on the other end of the line, which was more than just that of an ordinary friend.

Ultimately, Zhang Yiming chose to compromise. He opted to partner with Jiang Xun, but he demanded 45% of the shares.

At that time, he was well aware of the prospects of the Internet era, but he had not yet realized the potential of Douyin, so he did not know what his decision meant.

Thus, the core team of Douyin Technology Co., Ltd. was initially formed, with Jiang Xun as CEO and Zhang Yiming as vice president.

Zhang Yiming will be responsible for establishing a research and development team to conduct product development. Jiang Xun will also provide technical support and talent recruitment, while Jiang Xun himself will be responsible for the initial capital investment and subsequent financing.

This company, Douyin, was established in such a simple way, but it will soon have a complete organizational structure and a relatively strong entrepreneurial team. After all, Jiang Xun and Zhang Yiming's connections are no joke.

However, this means that the company headquarters is no longer suitable for the residential area of ​​Jinqiu Jiayuan on Zhichun Road, which can serve as the office location for Tomato Novel Network. Douyin's headquarters will definitely need to be found elsewhere.

Tang Yufei volunteered to help Jiang Xun resolve this matter, and with her involved, there were naturally no problems.

Zhang Yiming is a man of action. As soon as he signed the contract with Jiang Xun, he rushed to gather his old colleagues and set up the product development department. After all, he and Jiang Xun had agreed that Toutiao should be launched by March or April of next year at the latest.

Tang Yufei knew they were in a hurry, so she played with Jiang Xun in the car for a while, making herself a little disheveled. She then hurried home to take a shower and help Jiang Xun find a suitable office space.

Jiang Xun, the CEO, not only had no important business to attend to, but instead went to visit his mistress with a pile of gifts.

When Jiang Xun arrived at Chen Shixuan's rented apartment, he found that the key couldn't open the door; it was obviously locked from the inside. After knocking a few times, the door opened, and what appeared before him was a woman dressed as a red bunny girl...

"Why are you dressed like this?" Jiang Xun looked at Zhao Ruoyu in surprise, quickly controlling his gaze.

Zhao Ruoyu's pretty face was very red. She snorted and said, "It's all because of that guy Chen Shixuan who forced me to wear it."

At this moment, she was wearing a long rabbit ear headband and a small bell around her neck. Her red strapless dress had a fluffy white trim around the edge, and the dress was so short that it would be an exaggeration to say that it reached her hips.

The young girl has grown up now, with a graceful figure and fair skin. Although she is not as tall as Chen Shixuan (172cm), she is 165cm tall and has a perfect proportion, with long, shapely, fair and alluring legs.

On the hem of her skirt, which barely covered her bottom, there was a small rabbit tail that wiggled as she walked, and Jiang Xun didn't dare to look at it for long.

"Did you arrange all of this?" Jiang Xun walked into the room and found it to be beautifully decorated.

There was a Christmas tree adorned with colorful lights, flowers everywhere, and all sorts of candies and balloons, making it feel like stepping into a fairytale world.

"It was mainly her who arranged it. She said she wanted to give you a surprise," Zhao Ruoyu said casually.

Jiang Xun knew that Chen Shixuan and Zhao Ruoyu must have done it together. Such a large workload could not have been done by one person alone, and he was touched.

"Where is she?" Jiang Xun couldn't help but ask when he didn't see Chen Shixuan in the house or the bedroom.

"It seems like she went out to buy something," Zhao Ruoyu said, her expression somewhat unnatural.

There were only the two of them in the room, and the atmosphere was a little awkward and ambiguous. They both seemed to be thinking of the same scene, and the air became thick.
