They surrounded me right after the breakup.

The next day, at 9 a.m.

He Shaowen, head of the live streaming business unit of Baotao.com, took the earliest flight.

They appeared in the conference room of Xingyue Media.

He brought five people with him.

The legal counsel, operations director, and technical director, along with two assistants, were all dressed in matching dark suits.

The folders were stacked neatly on the table.

There are 4 people on the Jianghan side.

Liu Meng sat to his right, Chen Jiarui to his left, and Fang Chongwen accompanied them.

Two printed framework agreements were placed on the table.

The cover is printed with the words "BaoTao Live Strategic Cooperation Framework".

He Shaowen sat down without exchanging pleasantries.

He flipped directly to the third page of the agreement and pointed to the terms and conditions.

"President Jiang, headquarters agrees in principle to the three conditions: product selection rights, data rights, and pricing rights."

"But three supplementary clauses have been added."

He Shaowen opened his notebook and read the items aloud one by one.

"First, the duration of a single live broadcast shall not be less than four hours."

"Second, there should be no fewer than three fixed sessions per week."

"Third, major promotional events must be reported and scheduled 30 days in advance."

Liu Meng quickly jotted down a few notes.

She raised her head, her tone steady.

"Mr. He, we can accept the duration and number of sessions."

"The definition of a major node needs to be clarified: is it at the platform level or across the entire network?"

He Shaowen turned his head and whispered a few words to the legal representative.

"Major online promotions, such as Singles' Day, 618, and the Chinese New Year Shopping Festival."

"The remaining nodes will schedule their own times, and the platform will not interfere."

"The reporting is just to allow the supply chain to arrange warehousing in advance, not to hinder you."

Jiang Han picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said, "Deal."

He Shaowen was visibly taken aback.

He prepared several negotiation plans, including room for concessions when the other party bargained.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Han even skipped the second round of discussions.

"Mr. Jiang, won't you take a look at the details? The logistics terms, the settlement period, and so on..."

I have a general idea of ​​your bottom line.

"Reasonable requests don't need to waste time."

He Shaowen remained silent for a moment.

He closed the folder, picked up a pen, and signed his name on the last page of the agreement.

Jiang Han took the pen, signed, and stamped the document.

The two men stood up and shook hands, while the legal counsel next to them pressed the shutter and took several photos of them signing the contract.

"President Jiang, there's one more thing."

"Last night I compiled a brief report based on Xingyue's data from the past two years and personally handed it to Teacher Ma. He was very interested!"

Jiang Han raised an eyebrow: "Which Teacher Ma?"

"The founder of our group."

Images flashed through Jiang Han's mind.

In a certain interview program, an unassuming man was wearing a white shirt.

He said the classic line to the camera, "I have no interest in money."

Jiang Han still remembers the host's speechless expression.

"The one who isn't interested in money?"

He Shaowen coughed, trying hard to suppress his laughter.

"Uh... After reading the briefing, Teacher Ma said that you have a lot of ideas."

Jiang Han waved his hand and offered a few modest compliments.

When it comes to showing off, Mr. Ma has indeed raised the bar to a level that others can't reach.

Wearing a raincoat, I sang "Life in Full Bloom" at the annual meeting.

Engaging in a heated debate with foreigners at the Davos Forum.

He can make countless people curse capitalists, yet they are willing to spend money on Singles' Day.

However, Jiang Han didn't take it too seriously.

Previously, I had always worked in the entertainment industry, making music, filming movies, and investing in animation, with little cross-industry interaction.

But it's different now.

Xingyue and Baotao signed an exclusive agreement, so there will be many opportunities to do business together in the future.

"Okay, I'll pay you a visit in Hangzhou after I'm done with this busy period."

He Shaowen nodded solemnly.

After seeing the group off, Jiang Han stood by the conference room window, watching Baotao's business vehicle slowly drive out of the park downstairs.

Liu Meng was tidying up the signed agreements on the side.

"Do you really think Mr. Ma isn't interested in money?"

"He may not be interested in money, but he is definitely interested in business models that can make money."

Jiang Han had just climbed onto Liu Meng's large buttocks and hadn't even had a chance to squeeze them when the office door was suddenly pushed open.

Shen Qingning stood at the door.

Clutching the tablet in his hand, he was breathing rapidly.

"The little girl is causing trouble!"

Shen Qingning placed the tablet on her desk and pressed the video playback button in the center of the screen.

The screen lights up.

A spotlight shone on the center of the stage, where Xiao Xiao, wearing a white dress, was holding Jiang Han's arm.

The two are singing "Little Dimples" together.

During the climax of the chorus, Xiao Xiao tiptoed and pressed her lips to Jiang Han's cheek.

The video has been edited, with filters and soft-focus effects added.

The kissing scene was slowed down to 0.5x speed and repeated on a loop.

The video also included subtitles at the end.

"Your dimples and long eyelashes are your most beautiful features."

The posting time was around 3 a.m.

After spreading and gaining traction this morning, the number of views has exceeded 500 million.

It's still climbing at an alarming rate.

The number of reposts is approaching one million, and the comment section is exploding.

"President Jiang, please explain!"

"Who is this little girl? She looks so cute and adorable. She's standing next to President Jiang like a little accessory."

"She closed her eyes when she kissed President Jiang! She closed her eyes! So sweet, so sweet, so sweet."

"What song is this? I've never heard it before. Is it a hidden track written by Jiang Han?"

"Could it be a love song that President Jiang wrote especially for her? And he even sang it with her on stage? And he even let her kiss him?"

Soon, sharp-eyed netizens found clues in the background of the video.

"The video is from the opening ceremony of the Xiao's Hotel. A friend of mine was a waiter there at the time."

"The song was specially written by President Jiang and had never been made public before."

"They specially wrote a song for us to sing a duet on stage—you can imagine the treatment!"

In the comments section, some people started making jokes about the relationship between Jiang Han and Xiao Xiao.

"I suggest that President Jiang offer a time management course; I'm willing to pay for it."

"Are you sure about what happened before? I'm afraid that after you listen to it, you'll find that the problem isn't with the lesson, but with the person."

"President Jiang has proven with his actions that money really can buy anything."

"It's not just about being rich; look at the way the girl in the video is looking at a sugar daddy!"

Shen Qingning swiped down on the tablet.

The comments section is getting increasingly absurd.

She stood to the side with her arms crossed.

A faint smile played at the corners of his lips as he waited to see how Jiang Han would handle the situation.

Before Jiang Han could speak, Shen Qingning's phone began to vibrate wildly.

The long-dormant group chat of six best friends has resurfaced.

Lin Yaoyao immediately confronted Xiao Xiao.

She sent more than twenty messages in her group chat with her best friends, each one accompanied by an exclamation mark.

"Xiao Xiao, what are you doing up at night instead of sleeping?!"

"I watched the video! You even added effects! You zoomed in!"

"Should we add a pink filter?"

"Does the publicity need to slow down the kissing scene by five times?!"

Lin Yaoyao: "@Xiao Xiao, come out and take your beating!!"

The other girls were confused and expressed their bewilderment.

Shen Qingning explained, "Look at the trending topics on Weibo."

Xiao Xiao's profile picture finally lit up in the group chat.

She sent a meme of someone rolling on the ground, and then another meme of someone covering their face.

"I just think the video is well-made, it's a shame not to use it."

"Jiang Han's songs are good; we can't let them go to waste."

"Besides, it can both promote our hotel and generate buzz for Xingyue!"

"You're welcome!"

Lin Yaoyao: "???"
