The world is broken, the cubs mend it

winter vacation--

The company’s free reading APP is officially available on the App Store.

Lu Zheng invested a lot of money to promote and attract traffic on major short video platforms. The publicity effect was good, and the number of new users registered in the first batch was considerable.

We buy completed works from some authors whose copyrights have expired and put them on the bookstore's homepage. These are books with guaranteed reputation and quality.

He had sought investment from people in the circle before, but most people rejected it and were not optimistic about the project.

But some of them gave him advertising resources, allowing him to insert advertisements for his own games, products, etc. in the novel.

This advertising fee is nothing to them. If it has no effect, they will have done their best and made up for the gap of not investing before.

If the results are good, we can consider long-term cooperation.

As one of the first people to support him, Lu Zheng will remember this favor in the future.

This is the rule of doing things in the circle. Only when each other gives each other enough face can they cooperate and get along well in the future.

Even if this project fails, he is still the eldest son of the Lu family and a shareholder of Lu Corporation, and has a 50% chance of inheriting the family business.

Compared with several other companies, Lu Zheng’s advertising resources are the most powerful.

When we first started out, there were few books but a lot of money to be made, and the royalties shared by the authors were very substantial.

The screenshots of royalties posted by the resident authors in the first month attracted a large number of authors from other websites.

In the second month, a total of people signed contracts, including people who were high-quality male and female authors, and the number of columns on the homepage also increased accordingly.

High-quality works are the best way to retain users and increase the number of new users exponentially.

The company has launched a benefit for inviting new users. Every time a new user is invited, the company can earn points, which can be exchanged for cash red envelopes and product vouchers with no threshold.

Looking at the thriving business, Lu Zheng never expected it to develop so well.

The bookstore has a huge daily traffic, far exceeding other similar companies.

Some advertisers also seized the business opportunity and extended olive branches to him.

The joy of success did not go to his head. He and his team took the opportunity to increase efforts to recruit authors and promote the content on various platforms.

After the winter vacation, Yuanyuan started to get up early and go to work at the company with her father every day.

At first she was quite happy and got up early to brush her teeth and wash her face.

A week later, she went from turning on the phone on her own to being forced to turn it on by her father.

After arriving at the company in a daze, I would curl up on the sofa and sleep until ten o'clock.

The company's team is also starting to expand, and will move to a larger office building in March next year. It will be spacious, bright and more comfortable than here.

The brothers and sisters in the editorial department are very busy, either reviewing manuscripts or helping authors revise the outlines.

Unlike her godfather’s company, she has people to play with and can play games.

In the past, Lu Zheng always celebrated the New Year alone, but this year he is with his children.

Mrs. Wang is a local and knows that he can only cook some simple side dishes. She has been with the father and daughter for nearly half a year and has developed a close relationship with them.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, she came over to cook a large table of dishes for the father and daughter, and then went back to her own home for a reunion.

In addition to the year-end bonus, Lu Zheng also gave her a red envelope as a token of his gratitude.

A few days ago, Li Yan invited father and daughter to his home to celebrate the New Year. After thinking about it, Lu Zheng declined and decided to bring the children to his home to pay New Year's greetings in the first month of the lunar year.

In previous years, he would just eat something casually, then lie in bed, watch anime, play games, and immerse himself in his own world.

Although he only had his children to accompany him this year, he could clearly feel the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year.

After returning from a walk after dinner, the child pointed at the door of the neighbor opposite and asked him why he didn't put up couplets.

Only then did he realize that he had missed an important step.

Among the New Year’s goods purchased for employees last week were customized couplets. He took one back and piled it in the corner and forgot about it.

I didn’t have any glue at home, and no convenience stores were open during the New Year.

Lu Zheng searched for substitutes online and found that thicker batter could be used to stick the couplets.

He went to the kitchen, scooped a spoonful of noodles and added water to mix it. Yuanyuan sat cross-legged on the chair and watched.

After mixing the flour and water evenly, the chopsticks will not stick to it and will slide down directly.

In high school, he tried to make his own non-Newtonian fluid decompression toys, but he didn't succeed even once because he didn't mix the proportions correctly and he didn't have the patience.

But now he wanted to mix the batter to paste the couplets, but he got the mixture inexplicably.

After repeatedly adding water and flour, a bowl of fairly sticky batter was finally ready.

The father and daughter stood at the door, holding a simple version of glue and started working.

The couplets were divided into left and right and spread flat on the ground, and Yuanyuan used a small brush to apply the paste.

Lu Zheng was tall and didn't need a stool, so he could just pick up the couplet and paste it.

It was all done in less than five minutes, and I scraped the whole bowl of batter clean.

The little guy had a lot of batter on his hands, and he secretly smeared it on Lu Zheng's trouser legs when Lu Zheng wasn't paying attention.

By the time we discovered them, they had already peeled off their shells.

"You are so good, Lu Yuanyuan. I think you are really full of bad intentions."

Lu Zheng pretended to be angry and slapped her on the butt twice.

"It's not bad water, it's braised fish with four-happiness meatballs."

Yuanyuan touched her belly and retorted loudly that she didn't drink bad water.

During this period, Feng Nuan called him, asked about his work, and asked him to bring Yuanyuan over to pay New Year's greetings.

He had already prepared the gifts and would send them to her once the logistics were smooth. As for the Lin family, he didn't want to set foot in them at all.

At the Lu family's side, his grandfather called him and asked him how he was doing, whether he was under a lot of pressure, and whether he could visit him in the countryside when he had time.

Lu Chao had someone investigate the matter between Chen Yan and Song Min, but no evidence was found that the two had an affair, so the matter was left unsolved.

After the reunion dinner, he looked at Lu Zheng’s number on his mobile phone, hesitated for a long time but still didn’t have the courage to dial it.

His company has a good development momentum and has opened up a new path by breaking through the original paid market.

But the better Lu Zheng developed, the more it seemed how stingy and mean he was that day.

When old friends gathered at a cocktail party and praised him for having a good son, those compliments were like a slap in the face.

"..."

Chen Yan also learned about these things. She has been in a bad state recently and is surrounded by a sense of crisis.

evening--

Lu Zheng brought a lot of fireworks and firecrackers, and made an appointment with Li Yan, Chen Ze and Zhao Qi to go to the suburbs to set off fireworks.

The little girl was wearing a red cotton-padded jacket and had her tail tied in a high ponytail with a red bow hairband, making her look bright and festive.

Chen Ze’s girlfriend this time is quite stable. She met her parents during the Chinese New Year, so good things should be happening soon.

"Lu Zheng, let Yuanyuan be our flower girl when the time comes."

Chen Ze’s girlfriend Jiang Xian took the child’s hand and came over to ask him for help.

"Can…"

Lu Zheng has a good relationship with them, so he would naturally agree to such a small matter.

"I have a little nephew who is about the same age as Yuanyuan. When the two of you come together, standing together, you will definitely look like the golden boy and jade girl in the New Year pictures."

Jiang Xian will take wedding photos with Chen Ze after the new year, and the wedding date is set for September.

"I can be a flower girl for you, but I can't be a flower girl with your little nephew."

Lu Zheng, who had just taken two steps, suddenly turned back and said this out of the blue.

"Look at you, you are so stingy. My nephew is only three years old and can't even do math. There is no need to be so cautious."

Jiang Xian pulled the child back a little. She didn't expect that the cold and aloof guy would be a daughter's slave.
