Chapter 13
Disobedient Subordinates?

“Xiao Lan, tell me your thoughts on short videos first.”

Xu Zhao said.

“I searched online yesterday and found that there are some short videos that have gone viral, but most of them are at least one or two minutes long, rarely just ten seconds. I think, maybe you are too strict on the time limit for short videos.”

Gao Qi Lan said.

“You searched using a computer, right? What I want is mobile short videos.”

Xu Zhao didn't bother to be coy, and began to explain his understanding of short videos.

Basically it's the same as Kuaidous' model.

Including the decentralized recommendation mechanism.

The model is fragmented, quickly refreshing, quickly updating hot topics.

Page layout, content management, and so on.

Basically a copy of Kuaidou.

Gao Qi Lan didn't pay much attention at first, but as she listened, she couldn't help but perk up.

When Xu Zhao laid out a whole, relatively complete framework, images started to form in Gao Qi Lan's mind.

She vaguely understood Xu Zhao's idea.

At the same time, she realized that the propagation power of this kind of short video might truly be very strong.

Like brainwashing ads.

If you've never seen a short video, haven't you seen Brain Gold?

Looking at Xu Zhao, who was speaking fluently and logically, she gradually felt admiration for him.

She thought: This Secretary Xu has really put in the effort to study and think about it, it's not a whim.

He's already a secretary, and he still studies and thinks so diligently.

This kind of man who works hard and is dedicated, is incredibly attractive to any woman.

With Xu Zhao's physical advantage, Gao Qi Lan couldn't help but feel a little drawn to him.

After talking for a long time, Xu Zhao felt a little dry in his throat, so he picked up his teacup and drank it all in one go.

Setting down the cup, Xu Zhao said, “That's about it. Do it the way I told you, and then slowly improve and perfect it.”

Gao Qi Lan nodded and said, “Understood. After listening to your guidance, I now understand the advantages and methods of short videos.”

She also thought: No wonder Xu Zhao said he would personally guide me yesterday, it turns out he really has something.

“Now that we've finished the serious stuff, let's talk about something else.”

Xu Zhao said.

Gao Qi Lan felt a chill in her heart: It's finally here.

Before, she was extremely resistant to this kind of thing, and even prepared herself to turn him down completely.

But after Xu Zhao's lesson just now, she found him very charming and no longer resisted, instead, she felt conflicted.

From resistance to conflict, there was obviously some progress.

“Why are you so nervous? Come, sit next to me, get closer.”

Xu Zhao said.

Gao Qi Lan was still struggling mentally, but her body subconsciously sat next to him.

Xu Zhao knew that a woman like her wouldn't take the initiative to give herself to him, so he had to take the initiative.

Or would he slowly try to move Gao Qi Lan?

Xu Zhao didn't have that kind of patience.

He took one of Gao Qi Lan's small hands, and said, “Xiao Lan, the first time I saw you, I was very attracted to you. But you were still studying at the time, and I felt that studying was the most important thing, so I didn't bother you.”

Gao Qi Lan lowered her head slightly, and said timidly, “Secretary Xu, isn't this a bit too fast.”

Actually, if Xu Zhao had been a little more patient, with the charm he showed today, he could have won Gao Qi Lan over in a month or two at most.

Gao Qi Lan also hoped for a more romantic pursuit.

“It's true, my style is to be decisive and efficient, I don't like to drag things out.”

Xu Zhao said.

“That's your way of doing things, but we are...”

Gao Qi Lan couldn't say it.

“What are we doing? It's also doing things.”

As he spoke, Xu Zhao stretched out a hand and wrapped it around her waist.

It felt very soft in his hand.

“This is not the same.”

Gao Qi Lan struggled slightly.

“Don't misunderstand, I just want to have a deep conversation with you about life, ideals, that kind of thing.”

Xu Zhao said.

Gao Qi Lan couldn't help but laugh, thinking: You're quite humorous, but isn't deep conversation a bit too much?

Although she thought so, she didn't struggle completely, and she was vaguely resigned to her fate.

Seeing her shyness, Xu Zhao was even more energized.

Just as he was about to take things a step further, his phone suddenly rang.

His smile immediately vanished, he picked up his phone and saw that it was Guo Qiao who had called just now.

Answering the phone, Xu Zhao said, “Secretary Guo, what's up?”

Guo Qiao was clearly a little embarrassed, and said, “Secretary Xu, I went to the court to talk about the office building, but the court president Dong Wei Gang refused.”

Xu Zhao frowned and said, “You didn't tell him it was my request.”

Guo Qiao said, “I did, I said it exactly according to your request, two million to transfer that office building. But Dong Wei Gang said that the office building has been put up for auction online, and many people are planning to bid. If we cancel the auction now, it will have a negative impact on the court and even the entire Jinghai Municipal Government.”

Xu Zhao's expression suddenly became a bit unsightly.

Because Dong Wei Gang was clearly talking in circles, his order as the Party Secretary, could it possibly be less important than a mere auction?

What negative impact, it's all nonsense.

If there was any negative impact, it wouldn't be this auction.

Those things like embezzlement, strict investigations, car seizures, aren't they more impactful?

“Put Dong Wei Gang on the phone, I want to talk to him personally.”

Xu Zhao said through gritted teeth.

“Dong Wei Gang has gone home for lunch.”

Guo Qiao said.

Xu Zhao looked at the time, it was already 12:14 pm.

Off work.
