Chapter 11
Gaoqilan's Thoughts

Short videos are difficult to explain.

Before the popularity of Kuaishou and Douyin, Xu Zhao couldn't imagine how attractive this thing could be.

Later, when Kuaishou and Douyin became very popular, Xu Zhao still resisted short videos.

He thought that besides watching beautiful women, there was no point in it, just a waste of time.

Two years later, Xu Zhao gradually fell into the Kuaishou pit and gradually discovered the advantages of short videos.

Information transmission is fast, precise, and concise.

Rich and diverse, with strong inclusivity.

Simple and direct, striking at the heart of the matter.

Continuous and ongoing, a feast for the eyes day and night.

Isn't this the perfect secretary, the perfect nanny we want?

“Regarding the advantages of short videos, it's hard to explain in a short time. I will personally oversee this project, we will slowly study it and make improvements.”

Xu Zhao said.

“If you personally oversee it, this project will most likely have no problems.”

Gao Qiang flattered him.

Then he turned to Gao Qi Lan: “Xiao Lan, I don't understand short videos at all, so this project is entrusted to you.”

Gao Qi Lan wanted to refuse.

But thinking of her brother's hard work over the years, if she wasn't willing to contribute at all, it would seem a bit heartless.

So she nodded and said, “Okay, I'll try my best.”

Gao Qiang was immediately delighted, thinking: Secretary Xu, I'm creating an opportunity for you, you have to seize it.

Xu Zhao could see through Gao Qiang's thoughts.

He actually liked Gao Qi Lan too. If there was a chance to get closer, why not?

Xu Zhao continued, “The third project is games, both computer and mobile games.”

The gaming industry is very profitable, there is no doubt about it.

Even if China restricts game development, games can still be exported.

Many people may not know that domestic games have a certain market overseas, including Japan, Southeast Asia, and even Europe and America.

“This project should go to Qi Sheng, he loves playing games whenever he has free time.”

Gao Qiang said.

“I think so too, the ride-hailing platform is yours, the game is your brother's, and the short videos are Xiao Lan's.”

Xu Zhao said.

“You've arranged it so well, I'm suddenly enlightened. Tomorrow, no, I'll start working on it as soon as I get home.”

Gao Qiang said.

“You three only need to understand the concept, understand the market. For the specific technical aspects, recruit professional college students to do it, quickly build up the team.”

Xu Zhao said.

“I understand.”

Gao Qiang adopted an attitude of humbly learning.

“If possible, it's better to have several teams working on it simultaneously. After making the platform prototype, see which one has the best market response, and then invest in the best one.”

Xu Zhao said.

This will be a bit more expensive.

But compared to the initial production cost, burning money later is truly terrifying.

So it's better to spend more money upfront to avoid the platform failing later and being copied and surpassed by others.

“Okay, I will.”

Gao Qiang nodded.

“That's all for today. You all go and do your own thing, notify me when the platform is ready.”

Xu Zhao stood up.

“Understood, I will notify you the moment the platform is ready.”

Gao Qiang also stood up.

He followed Xu Zhao out of the private room and walked outside.

Walking alongside him, he said, “The ride-hailing platform and the game are both easy, they don't sound too complicated, only the short video is a bit new. Secretary Xu, if you have time, please give Xiao Lan some guidance, so she doesn't make any mistakes.”

Gao Qi Lan wasn't stupid either, she understood her brother's meaning and felt a little resistant.

But she really didn't know how to do it, so she had to listen to Xu Zhao's guidance.

“Okay, tomorrow morning at ten, let Xiao Lan come directly to my office.”

Xu Zhao said.

“To your office, that's not very convenient. After all, I've done so much, if people find out you're in contact with me, I'm worried that some unfavorable rumors will spread about you.”

Gao Qiang said.

“What you said makes sense.”

Xu Zhao said.

“I have a villa, it's been empty for a long time. I'll clean it up, it will be safer for you two to talk in the villa.”

Gao Qiang said.

Gao Qi Lan couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

Gao Qiang pretended not to see it.

“Alright, let's do it tomorrow.”

Xu Zhao didn't refuse Gao Qiang's kindness.

“Okay, I'll send you the address tomorrow.”

Gao Qiang said.

Then he sent Xu Zhao to his car and watched him drive away.

After Xu Zhao's car drove away, Gao Qi Lan finally couldn't help but complain: “Brother, why are you so eager to send me away!”

Gao Qiang smiled slightly and said: “What are you thinking, I'm just thinking about Secretary Xu's reputation.”

Gao Qi Lan rolled her eyes and said, “Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, I tell you, I won't give in.”

Gao Qiang was a little unhappy when he heard this, and said: “I ask you, what's wrong with Secretary Xu? He's younger than An Xin, and he's taller and more handsome than An Xin. He used to be a secretary, you didn't look down on him then, now he's become a city party secretary, you still look down on him.”

He really hoped that his sister could be with Xu Zhao.

Then Xu Zhao would become his brother-in-law.

He would definitely do his best to cover up all the things he did before.

Even if he didn't consider himself, just thinking about his sister's future, Xu Zhao was the best choice for a brother-in-law.

Gao Qi Lan said: “It has nothing to do with his appearance or position.”

Gao Qiang said: “Then what does it have to do with, kindness and righteousness?”

Gao Qi Lan impatiently said: “This doesn't concern you, I have my own choice.”

Gao Qiang was a little angry, and said: “You're just holding on to An Xin. I admit he's a good policeman, but he won't be a good husband. Look at what An Xin does all day, if you marry him, you'll only be a housewife. Then he's away from home every three days, leaving you alone to keep the house warm.”

Gao Qi Lan opened her mouth to retort, but couldn't find the words to refute him.

She wanted to say that she didn't care.

But thinking carefully, was that kind of life really what she wanted?

Although she was infatuated, she wasn't the kind of foolish woman who would follow her husband like a shadow.

In the original work, when An Xin tried to deceive her, she immediately saw through it and decisively cut off their relationship.

This shows that she is a very assertive and decisive woman.
