Since the launch of Douyin at the beginning of last year, the development of Douyin has not been smooth sailing. At the beginning, not many people downloaded and registered. It was Zhou Chen who spent a lot of money on advertising, and it slowly developed.

More than a year later, Douyin has aroused great repercussions in China and has become one of the top players in the short video industry.

Because he knows the development trend of Douyin, in order to make Douyin develop better, he needs to always keep an eye on the market reaction and make timely updates and changes.

"Dr. Jay, we really don't have enough manpower here. Technicians, logistics, finance, management, marketing departments, etc. all need manpower."

Zhang Ming, the boss in charge of the Douyin department, complained bitterly to Zhou Chen. Because it was a newly established company, although its development prospects were bright, it was also under great pressure.

The reason why I didn't dare to speak before was because they were inconspicuous in the big ship like Chenxing Group. However, with the continuous development of Douyin, Mr. Zhang's confidence gradually increased and he dared to start asking for people from Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen said: "You prepare a document and give it to Secretary Jiang, and I will arrange manpower for you as appropriate. However, I can give you the manpower, but the performance must be given to me."

Mr. Zhang immediately assured: "Don't worry, as long as we have enough manpower and funds, we will definitely achieve greater success."

"I hope, it's been more than a year now, and I'm still far away from the three-year goal I set. It's a good thing to have confidence, but if I can't reach my goal..."

"Dr. Jay, don't worry, we promise to complete the task."

"That's it. I will visit you often in the future. I hope you won't disappoint me."

…………

At night, Guan Ju'er was chatting with Zhou Chen in a prestige manner when suddenly a call came in. When she saw the caller ID, it was her mother. She quickly sat up from the bed.

After sending a message to Zhou Chen, Guan Juer answered the phone.

"mom."

"Hey, Guan Guan, you haven't slept yet."

Guan's mother, who was far away in Xishi City, heard her daughter's voice and immediately responded happily.

"No, Mom, did you call me for something?"

"We haven't dared to call you recently for fear of delaying your work. We don't miss you anymore. Guan Guan, how is your work lately?"

"It's good. Recently, a new neighbor sister came here. She is very good. I learned a lot from her and I gradually adapted to my work."

"That's good, but it's just a matter of business. Work is very important, but life is also very important. Life has not been difficult recently, right? Are you eating all the things we sent you?"

"We're eating, Mom. You and Dad have sent us less food. If I want to eat, I can buy it online myself."

Guan Ju'er was also very helpless. Although she was no longer with her parents, they took good care of her and always sent him things, so that she never stopped eating.

"That's different. Your dad and I have to buy the things for you in person before we can rest assured. We have nothing to do. By the way, your dad may go to the Magic City to talk about something recently, and then we may go to the Magic City.

, I stopped by to see you."

Guan's mother sounded very happy. The couple hadn't seen their daughter for a long time, so they naturally missed her. The reason why they didn't come over often was because they were afraid of delaying their daughter's work.

After all, they were the ones who found their daughter's job, and they knew that her daughter was under a lot of pressure, so they didn't dare to disturb her easily.

As soon as she heard that her parents might be coming to Shanghai, Guan Ju suddenly felt nervous. She couldn't help but think about her relationship with Zhou Chen.

"Oh, will that delay your business? Otherwise, forget it. The Chinese New Year will be here in a while, and I can go home then."

"No delay, no delay, we will take you to meet someone when the time comes."

When Guan's mother said this, she paused for a while, as if she was afraid of scaring her daughter.

Guan Ju'er asked in confusion: "I'm going to meet someone, who?"

Guan's mother said: "It's just a friend. We made an appointment with a friend. They happen to have a child about your age who is also in the Magic City. I just wanted to let you get to know each other."

When Guan Ju'er heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Mom, do you want me to go on a blind date? No, absolutely not, I won't go."

"Oh, you kid, you're either going on a blind date or having a meal with a friend's house. Let you kids get to know each other so that you can take care of each other in the magic city in the future."

When Guan's mother heard her daughter's rejection, she was also very anxious. She actually took this matter more seriously, otherwise she wouldn't have made the trip herself.

She has already inquired about it. Her friend's son is very good, and his family's financial situation is also very good. If he can succeed, his daughter will be able to find a good home.

Letting your daughter find a good home is the greatest wish of any parent.

"No, Mom, it's really not possible, I don't agree."

"You kid, my mother won't harm you. I just want to meet and have a meal. I think you're in a hurry. We're not rushing you, we're just getting to know you."

Guan Juer gritted her teeth and hesitated for a while, then said truthfully: "Mom, I really can't promise you, because, because of me, I already have a boyfriend."

"What?"

The voice from the other side suddenly rose several times in pitch, accompanied by a roaring noise, and then Guan Juer heard the voices of his parents.

"Guan Guan, what's going on? You said you have a boyfriend?"

"That's right, daughter, what's going on? Why didn't you tell us that you were in love? Where is he from, what does he do, and..."

"Can you please stop interrupting? I'm talking to my daughter. Can't you wait until I finish?"

"I don't care about our daughter."

The noise from her parents made Guan Ju'er very helpless. After a while, they stopped.

"Guan Guan, tell your parents quickly, what happened to the boyfriend you mentioned?"

Guan Ju'er knew that this kind of thing couldn't be hidden, so he said: "His name is Zhou Chen. He is twenty-six years old. He is a very nice person. He runs his own company. His parents live downstairs from me, but they don't know yet.

We are in love."

The parents' comments came through the microphone.

"Twenty-six years old, which is quite suitable for my age. I still want to start my own company. It seems that I have the skills. My parents live in the same building as our daughter."

"Sounds good, but since I didn't see anyone, I still feel uneasy. I'll ask again."

Guan's mother's voice soon came over again: "Guan Guan, this kid started his own company at a young age, so what do his parents do?"

"Zhou Chen's father is a university professor and teaches at a university in Shanghai. His mother is a high school teacher and is now retired."

"Oh, my parents are both intellectuals and professors. This family is good, very good."

When Guan's father and Guan's mother heard about Zhou Chen's parents, they immediately felt more at ease. Both parents were teachers or professors. Children from such a family must have good tutors.

"When did you start talking?"

…………

Faced with a series of questions from his parents, Guan Juer explained patiently and chatted for more than ten minutes before hanging up the phone.

However, Guan Ju'er had a melancholy look on her face after hanging up the phone. She originally wanted to stop her parents from coming to Shanghai.

But she didn't expect that after she told the truth, her parents became even more determined to come to Shanghai. They had to meet Zhou Chen. They could only rest assured if they saw it with their own eyes.

Guan Ju'er had no choice but to send a message to Zhou Chen, telling him about the incident and asking him if he would like to meet her parents.

Zhou Chen was quite surprised when he saw the message from Guan Ju'er. He had only been dating Guan Ju'er for more than a month, and his parents were coming to meet him. It seemed that he really cared about his daughter.

Naturally, Zhou Chen wasn't worried about the meeting and directly replied to Guan Ju'er, saying it was no problem.

He has been with Guan Ju'er for some time, and he already has a deep understanding of Guan Ju'er, a girl who is not well-off in the city. She is a very good girl.

In the beginning, he wanted to fall in love with Guan Ju'er, and it was indeed because of his mission. For him, there was no woman he particularly loved directly. In this case, he might as well choose a woman who he didn't hate and who could like him.

.

It doesn't matter how noble and elegant she is, as long as she can give him a stable home, that's enough.

Although Guan Ju'er has a little rebellious character, it is undeniable that she will definitely become a good wife and mother after getting married.

Therefore, he has no resistance to meeting Guan Ju'er's parents. You can often see a person's future from his family and parents.

According to Guan Ju'er, his parents came here within two weeks. Thinking that Guan Ju'er had already told his parents about their situation, he felt it was necessary to tell his parents about his relationship with Guan Ju'er.

Since that offline meeting, Andy and Wei Wei met twice more and got to know each other better.

It's just that the relationship between them is still that kind of ordinary friendship, which has nothing to do with love.

In fact, the two of them are somewhat similar when it comes to falling in love.

Andy has no experience in this area at all, and is afraid of such a thing, so he is more curious about Wei Wei, and the relationship between men and women is completely out of the question.

As for Wei Wei, he has more experience and is good at calculations. Even if he is in love, he has to make many calculations. If he wants to enter the love mode, he has a long way to go.

On this day, the two of them got together for dinner. Halfway through the meal, Andy suddenly received a call from Tan Zongming. After a few words, Andy's expression suddenly changed.

"Sorry, I have something urgent and I have to leave first."

Wei Wei asked: "Is there anything urgent? I can help."

After meeting several times, his affection for Andy increased greatly, and there was already a tendency to develop a relationship.

But Andy refused: "I'm sorry, this is my private matter. What happened today is my fault. I will ask you out next time."

"Okay then, drive slower."

"Thank you, I'll leave first."

Andy hurriedly left the hotel, leaving Wei Wei staring at her back in a daze.

The reason why Andy was so anxious was because Tan Zongming called her and said that Lao Yan was back and found out some news about her brother, asking her to go there quickly.

Andy was about to learn the news about his biological brother. He was nervous and scared. He ran all the way and quickly arrived at Tan Zongming's house.
