If the confession fails, then pursue her best friend

Chapter 207 GF’s little thoughts, conflicts between best friends
After listening to Li Yuan's arrangement, Zhong Tingyue still had a smile on her face, and her heart was calm.

Ostensibly, she was the last one seen.

In fact, she was the first one to see him.

We had already met her at noon today, and it was Li Yuan who took the initiative to take her and pick her up at the station in person.

So Zhong Tingyue was not dissatisfied after being ranked last by Li Yuan.

Seeing that Zhong Tingyue's face remained as usual and her smile remained the same, Bai Weixi took a deep look at Zhong Tingyue and nodded.

"Brother, then let me follow your arrangements."

Li Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, that's it. Do you still want to continue watching the game?"

Zhong Tingyue pursed her lips and chuckled, with a playful look on her face: "If you don't fight anymore, what else are we going to watch? Let's go see other handsome guys. Will Senior You be jealous?"

Li Yuan smiled awkwardly and replied duplicitously: "Don't worry, I'm never jealous."

"Tch, only a devil can believe it!" Zhong Tingyue spat, thinking of the small friction that occurred on the playground under the moonlight that night. Li Yuan didn't even allow others to appreciate his dance. He must be very jealous.

"Humph, don't believe him. He is just a jealous person. He is so cute." Bai Weixi glanced at Li Yuan and smiled. She knew better than anyone how jealous Li Yuan was.

In high school, she received many love letters, some of which were publicly sent to her by boys in other classes during recess. And every time, Li Yuan's expression was wonderful, and that expression was still fresh in her memory.
Li Yuan retorted without confidence: "How could you? You have wronged me. When did I become jealous?"

Bai Weixi snorted softly: "Brother, do you want me to tell you your reaction again when someone sent me a love letter in high school?"

Zhong Tingyue's eyes lit up, she blinked at Bai Weixi, and said with a smile:
"Weixi, please tell me why scumbag Li is so jealous. I really want to hear it!"

"Hehe, okay!" Bai Weixi nodded and coughed lightly.

"We were at the same table at the time"

Bai Weixi was about to reveal some embarrassing things about Li Yuan when he heard Li Yuan's cell phone ringing again.

As if grasping a life-saving straw, Li Yuan quickly took out his mobile phone and took a look. It was Lin Yuwei calling.

"It's about the company, I'll take a call first." Li Yuan motioned to a few people.

As soon as the call was connected, Lin Yuwei's voice came over the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Li, are you convenient now? I would like to report the current situation to you."

Li Yuan nodded: "It's convenient, you say."

Lin Yuwei's tone was very relaxed: "Mr. Li, according to our backend statistics, since 'Zhihu' was officially launched, after 9 hours of publicity and promotion, the number of registered users has reached 400 million, and today the cumulative number of registered users exceeds 500 million. It has been confirmed and the expected target has been exceeded.”

"Currently, the number of users who have completed the "Cut a Knife" task has reached 5452. All users have also completed the lottery, and were selected to win 5 laptops, 12 mobile phones, and 4 MP35s. These prizes and the list of winners, we The operations department is preparing to carry out a scrolling display on the homepage of 'Zhihu' to improve the website's attractiveness."

Li Yuan listened to Lin Yuwei's introduction and nodded with satisfaction.

Today’s first-day data is also among the best in the entire domestic Internet history.

The huge online troll army + hack-and-slash model + novel website content completely detonated the entire Internet.

A large part of the reason for this stems from Li Yuan's fame and his various gossips and rumors.

Internet writers who earn millions a month, talented music creators, and bohemian freshmen are like adding fuel to the fire, causing the spread of Zhihu.com to skyrocket like a rocket. getting faster and faster
"Well done, thank you for your hard work."

Li Yuan praised the team formed by Lin Yuwei. Today's results are indeed very exaggerated.

You must know that at this time, the total number of Internet users in China is only 200-300 million. As the leading forum-type website, "Qiandu Tieba" only has 100-200 million registered users.
If this increase can continue for a week, there will be tens of millions of users registered. Even if only 5% is left, there will still be millions of active users, and it may become one of the top three online forums in the country.
Lin Yuwei answered modestly: "Mr. Li, thank you. It's all because of your guidance that we can achieve such good results."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Don't be polite, it's all the achievements of our joint efforts. Although it's a good start, how to retain users is a huge test. You must not start in anticlimax. You must work hard these days and be sure to We must do a good job in the operation and maintenance of the website, especially the protection of the server, to effectively improve the user experience and retain as many users as possible.”

Today's more than 400 million registered users, even if 10% can stay, it is considered a great success. If there are only % to %, it is simply unimaginable...

Lin Yuwei listened carefully to Li Yuan's instructions and quickly accepted the task: "Mr. Li, please rest assured that we will definitely operate and maintain the website content according to your guidance."

"Well, I have something else to do tonight, so I won't go to the company. Team leader Lin, if you take them to have extra meals, you can raise some standards appropriately, and the company will reimburse the expenses."

"Mr. Li, that's great. Let me thank you on their behalf."

Li Yuan asked: "Is there anything else?"

Lin Yuwei asked cautiously: "Mr. Li, it's like this. Modu TV Financial News has contacted the company and wants to give you an exclusive interview to talk about the publicity and distribution operation model of 'Zhihu'. Do you want to agree?"

Li Yuan was slightly startled: "Modu Financial News wants to conduct an exclusive interview with me?"

Hearing this familiar name, Li Yuan's mind immediately flashed back to the beautiful reporter Fang Jueqing from the Magic City Financial TV Station at the book signing of "Fighting Starry Sky" a few days ago at the entrance of Tianyu Building.
It has only been a little over a week, but it seems like a long time has passed.

In this week, he has experienced too many things, both mentally and physically, he has been greatly baptized.
Li Yuan nodded: "Okay, then you can connect with Modu Financial TV Station. Is there anything else?"

Lin Yuwei thought for a while and then mentioned another thing: "Mr. Li, some of the equipment you ordered to purchase has been put in place. Do you want to put it into the operation base at Daxia University now?"

Li Yuan thought for a moment and gave an affirmative answer: "Yes, according to the plan discussed at the meeting, the equipment will be installed and debugged this weekend, and the personnel will be in place next week, and it will be put into operation immediately."

"I will personally make arrangements for the venue at Daxia University and take care of the classrooms, water and power grids, etc. in advance."

"Okay, Mr. Li, I will make arrangements now."

"Well, let's go!"

……

After hanging up the phone, Li Yuan's face was filled with joy.

This is his first real entrepreneurial venture, and he has made a good start for the time being. As long as he can stick to it step by step, it is very possible for "Zhihu" to surpass his previous life.

Zhong Tingyue saw a smile on Li Yuan's face and asked with interest: "Senior, what are you so happy about?"

Li Yuan smiled and explained: "Zhihu went online today and achieved pretty good results, meeting psychological expectations."

Zhong Tingyue blinked, bit her lip, and asked with a smile: "It just met expectations? The data should be pretty good, right?"

"Well, just give it a try. It should set a new historical record in the domestic Internet field." Li Yuan pretended to be cool.

Zhong Tingyue stared at Li Yuan speechlessly and snorted: "Senior, your tone deserves a beating!"

Bai Weixi also answered and chuckled, "That's right, you're so good at pretending!"

"Haha! I'm really not pretending." Li Yuan smiled and explained: "The registered users and active users of the website are two different concepts. Now only the number of registered users has made a good start, but can the quality of the website be maintained and the number of registered users be reduced?" Converting into active users is still two different things.”

"Just like the cost of the launch of 'Zhihu', we invested more than 400 million in cash. Today, the number of new registered users has exceeded million, but we are not sure how many will remain. If we cannot let these If registered users stay, they are just zombie users and have no use."

Bai Weixi suddenly asked curiously: "Brother, I don't understand very well. How do websites generally make money? Can we make money with such a large investment?"

Li Yuan glanced at Bai Weixi unexpectedly. He didn't expect that she would pay attention to the website's profit model. He explained with a smile: "Traditional websites that want to make money usually rely on advertising to make money. This is also one of the ways 'Zhihu' makes money." Way."

"However, relying solely on advertising to make money is difficult to maintain and very limited. It will affect the user experience and is not conducive to the long-term development of the website. If you want to continue to generate profits, you need other methods."

The three girls, Bai Weixi, Zhong Tingyue, and Xia Zhijin, all listened carefully to what Li Yuan said. This was also a new field and a new beginning for them.

Seeing them staring at him with serious expectancy, Li Yuan coughed lightly and continued:

"I also have some other ideas. The purpose of establishing the online forum 'Zhihu' is mainly to attract traffic, not to make money. There are other things that really make money."

"It's just that some of the ideas are not yet mature right now, so let me give them a try first, and you will know about them later."

Listening to Li Yuan's confident expression, little stars appeared in Zhong Tingyue's eyes. Confident and handsome men are the most attractive. Li Yuan already has a special temperament at this time, which makes people can't help but respect and awe him.
She also thought of what Li Yuan had promised her before.

The two people agreed to establish a catering brand and open a chain of milk tea shops.

A few days ago, she even thought about the name of the milk tea shop, researched many types that existed on the market, and formulated some development plans, but she just hadn't had time to tell Li Yuan yet.
Bai Weixi's heart trembled as she listened to Li Yuan's confident business plan. She stared at Li Yuan who seemed to be glowing all over and praised: "Brother, you are so great. We are all just in our freshman year and we don't understand anything yet. You I have already started my business and achieved such good results.”

"Haha, I only know a little bit about it and have some foresight. You understand." Li Yuan laughed.

Suddenly, he frowned and a look of displeasure flashed across his face.

He saw someone in a corner holding a telescope and peeping over here. His smile was a little lewd, and he seemed to be discussing something.
"Made, a bunch of perverts!" Li Yuan muttered in a low voice.

Bai Weixi heard Li Yuan's muttering and asked in confusion: "Brother, what are you talking about? What a pervert?"

Li Yuan pointed to the northwest corner, frowned and said, "There are people over there using binoculars to peek at us."

"Is someone peeping?" Bai Weixi was startled and asked in surprise.

"Yeah, next to a small forest."

Bai Weixi, Zhong Tingyue, and Xia Zhijin followed the direction pointed by Li Yuan and saw four or five boys peeping over here with binoculars.
Zhong Tingyue frowned with an expression of disgust: "That's so perverted. Why are there such disgusting boys in our school?"

Bai Weixi also shuddered and spat: "I thought the boys from 985 University would have better character quality, but they all look the same. When I get back to the dormitory, I have to remind Shasha and Meiqi that when they change clothes , be sure to close the curtains, there are too many disgusting men now.”

Zhong Tingyue nodded in agreement: "That's right, a group of polite scum, really shameless and annoying."

Bai Weixi rarely unites with Zhong Tingyue: "Those who are close to vermillion are red, and those who are close to ink are black. Fortunately, we don't have such people around us."

Li Yuan listened to the angry curses of Bai Weixi and Zhong Tingyue.

Suddenly it occurred to me that my good brother Wang Shuai also seems to like to use binoculars to peek at the beauties in the school?
Why, do you feel that you are being understood?

Li Yuan coughed: "Ahem, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. I am both famous and strong. This kind of thing is inevitable. Just like those celebrities, they are followed by the all-pervasive paparazzi all the time. No privacy. None, very annoying."

"Xiaobai, Tingyue, Zhijin, let's go back. It's time for dinner."

Zhong Tingyue and Bai Weixi looked at each other and nodded in unison.

Zhong Tingyue smiled and said: "Well, senior, you can take Zhijin back to see your aunt first. Wei Xi and I will go back to the dormitory together."

Bai Weixi glanced at Li Yuan and Xia Zhijin, who looked a little shy, with a complicated expression, and nodded silently. Li Yuan did not doubt his presence and asked, "Do you want me to see you off?"

Zhong Tingyue smiled: "Senior, no need, there are a lot of people now, you don't want to be watched, right?"

Five or six o'clock is the peak time for college dinners. If Li Yuan is really walking with three stunning beauties, he will definitely have to go directly to the school's hot search.

Although, he himself doesn't care.

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Okay, you guys go back. I'll go and see how our class is doing. Don't let the opponent reverse it. That would be funny."

Zhong Tingyue waved her hands at Li Yuan and Xia Zhijin. For someone who didn't know, she thought they were good friends.

"Well, goodbye, senior."

Li Yuan touched Xia Zhijin's head and said with a smile: "Zhijin, let's go!"

"Oh!" Xia Zhijin responded obediently and followed Li Yuan away.

……

After Li Yuan took Xia Zhijin to the basketball court,

Only Bai Weixi and Zhong Tingyue were left on the spot, and the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat silent.

Zhong Tingyue still smiled sweetly and said: "Wei Xi, let's go back too."

Bai Weixi did not answer, but just stared at Zhong Tingyue coldly, his eyes filled with various colors, his mood was very restless, and his face was a little ugly.

Zhong Tingyue felt very uncomfortable under Bai Weixi's gaze, and frowned: "Weixi, why are you looking at me like this?"

Bai Weixi stared at Zhong Tingyue coldly and said in a very rude tone: "Zhong Tingyue, don't you want to explain?"

Zhong Tingyue also heard that something was wrong with Bai Weixi's tone, and she said urgently:
"Explain what?"

Bai Weixi teased in a bad tone: "Haha, have you forgotten what you told me that day?"

"Since you can't do it, don't make such promises and treat us all like clowns. Are you happy?"

"Even if you said at that time that you were openly competing with me, I would still look up to you."

Listening to the sarcasm in Bai Weixi's tone, Zhong Tingyue suddenly fell silent.

What Bai Weixi said deeply hurt her. Although Bai Weixi was telling the truth, she really wanted to give up at that time.
but
Zhong Tingyue sighed, looked deeply at Bai Weixi, her voice was a little low and helpless:
"Weixi, love is very selfish. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? No matter what the future holds, at least you won't let yourself regret it in the future."

"Li Yuan is indeed excellent. I really thought about giving up and forgetting him, but I couldn't forget him. His image was like a brand, deeply engraved in my mind. I could only control myself. I didn’t take the initiative to look for him, but when he stood in front of me and hugged me, my defense was easily defeated."

"I don't know why I love him so deeply. It's probably because he brought me a glimmer of light in my dark world. I don't know whether the words he said to me are true or false. Three lives, ten miles of peach blossoms, south of the mountains and north of the sea, but I choose to believe in him again."

"If you think I'm shameless or hateful, it's up to you."

"But please remember, I am not the only one who is your love rival!!"

After Zhong Tingyue finished speaking, she stared at the leaving figures of Li Yuan and Xia Zhijin. At this time, Li Yuan had already taken the initiative to hold Xia Zhijin's hand.

Before today, she didn't know much about Xia Zhijin and the other girl from another school.

I had thought that the person Li Yuan liked the most would be Bai Weixi next to him.

After all, Li Yuan had chased Bai Weixi for three years in high school, and they had known her for the longest time.
But after meeting Xia Zhijin today, she realized that she was completely wrong. With her intuition, she was 100% sure that the person Li Yuan liked the most must be Xia Zhijin.

This girl who looks innocent, shy, and harmless, likes to lower her head when talking, with rosy cheeks, and a gentle and whispering look, is the one Li Yuan likes the most...

She specifically observed Li Yuan's expressions and movements when facing her, Bai Weixi, and Xia Zhijin.

Only when facing Xia Zhijin, Li Yuan would inadvertently show a doting and loving expression, and even in front of the two of them, he couldn't help showing such a very intimate behavior as "touching the head to kill"
Li Yuan's relaxed and comfortable state of mind was something he didn't have when he was with himself and Bai Weixi.
Bai Weixi is not stupid, she is also a very smart girl. After listening to Zhong Tingyue's words, she instantly understood what she meant.

Following Zhong Tingyue's gaze and looking at the pair of figures on the basketball court in front, Bai Weixi felt very uneasy.

She could also feel that Li Yuan treated herself differently from this girl.

Bai Weixi glanced at Zhong Tingyue with a complicated expression, feeling very aggrieved and very uncomfortable.

This feeling, the current situation, is like a few girls competing for favor from Li Yuan.

This was not the perfect love she expected at all.

Bai Weixi glanced at Zhong Tingyue with a complicated expression, and sighed faintly:
"Tingyue, you know, this is not the love I expected. I feel very tired of love recently. I have tried very hard, but I feel farther and farther away from him. I want to be alone with him. We don’t even have any time together.”

"I envy other couples on campus. They can go to the cafeteria to eat together, walk on campus together, go to the library to read together, study in the classroom together, and participate in club activities together. But I don't have any of these."

"Who isn't!" Zhong Tingyue also sighed and glanced at the sunset on the horizon. It had already set among the high-rise buildings, reflecting the city in a red sky.
"But, ask yourself, can you really let him go?"

Bai Weixi was silent. Thinking of this relationship, tears suddenly fell down and wet his face.

Like Zhong Tingyue, she has fallen into it and can't let go.
……

Li Yuan led Xia Zhijin to the side of the court.

The competition is not over yet, but most of the men and women watching around have disappeared, and only some students from the two computer classes are left.

Li Lanrong and the other girls did not leave. When they saw Li Yuan leading Xia Zhijin over, they asked curiously.

"Li Yuan, Zhijin, why are you back again? Has the matter over there been settled?"

"Yeah!" Li Yuan smiled: "I'll come over to see the results of the game."

The score on the court at this time was 82:68, and the lead of Computer Class was greatly reduced.

Fortunately, there are only the last three minutes of the game. It is still very difficult to chase 14 points in three minutes, but it is not impossible. You only need to defend for a few rounds, make a few turnovers, and make more shots. A few balls, the basketball court is a place where miracles are created
On the court, Lu Kangze and others from Computer Class 2 saw Li Yuan suddenly appearing on the side of the court again, and there was an uproar. They were a little uneasy and talked in low voices.

[Damn it, why is Li Yuan back again? He shouldn't see that we are about to complete a big comeback and continue to play, right? 】

[Made, if Li Yuan appears again, it would be too shameless to step on the horse. Then we should just give up after all our hard work and surrender. 】

[However, there is no rule that stipulates that Li Yuan cannot appear again. If he appears again, there is nothing we can do]

When other students, including Liu Jia, Ren Jun, Wu Hao and others saw Li Yuan appearing on the side of the court, they were immediately shocked.

The sense of urgency of being frantically chasing points disappeared in an instant, and the invisible pressure on his body disappeared without a trace.

Liu Jia roared out of breath: "Brothers, Brother Yuan is back. Keep your spirits up. Prepare for this round well and use up the last three minutes."

"Defend, defend!" Ren Jun roared loudly, directing the defense and staring at the opponent closely. Tired, he put his hands on his hips. He rarely played a full game in high school. He never thought that playing a full game would be so tiring.

Li Yuan's arrival shocked the players in Computer Class Two, and also made the players in Computer Class One feel like they had been given a shot of blood, and their momentum surged.

This round ended with a three-point strike from Computer Class Two.

Xu Ziqiang dribbled the ball, pressed for time, and took advantage of the moment when the opponent pounced on him, throwing the ball out and passing it to Liu Jia, who was open inside.

Liu Jia took the ball and flicked it gently. The basketball entered the net obediently. The lead returned to 16 points again, with only 2 minutes left.
On the next attack, the second computer team hit another three-pointer, and the game was no longer in suspense.
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Li Yuan's first class match after his rebirth ended with a big victory.

Liu Jia, Ren Jun, and Wu Hao all came to Li Yuan and shouted excitedly.

"Brother Yuan, we won, where are the plans for the evening?"

"Haha, Brother Yuan, you lost that bet. Let's treat you to dinner tonight. I want to have a big dinner."

"Brother Yuan came here specifically to watch the last few minutes. It must be just for a treat, right, Brother Yuan?"

Liu Jia and Wu Hao, with just one word from you and me, I wish I could have Li Yuan conjure up a luxurious meal right there.
Li Yuan looked at Liu Jia and the others and smiled: "There is no problem with the feast. I guarantee that you will be satisfied."

Seeing that Li Yuan agreed, Liu Jia's eyes lit up, he licked his lips, and said with a smile: "Brother Yuan is so generous, I will kill you hard tonight."

Wu Hao, Ren Jun, and Xu Ziqiang also looked expectant. Their family backgrounds are very average, and they rarely have the opportunity to eat out, and they are reluctant to order a few meat dishes in the canteen.

Hearing that Li Yuan was really willing to treat guests to a big meal, he immediately felt his stomach growling.
At this time, girls Li Lanrong, Ge Chenchen, and Gao Xin also came over.

Li Lanrong chuckled and said: "Great Talent Li, we have been applauding you for a long time, do you want to reward us too?"

As soon as these words came out, the girls Gao Xin and Ge Chenchen also looked expectant.

As Xia Zhijin’s roommate, it’s not too much to indulge in a feast from her boyfriend, right?

Li Yuan smiled: "It's not too late for me to be happy that some beauties are willing to show their favor."

Then he winked and teased Liu Jia and Wu Hao: "Look, these perverts' eyes turned green when they heard you were going."

Li Lanrong pursed his lips and snickered: "Hehe, it's settled then. Do you want to go back to the dormitory and change clothes?"

Liu Jia had already learned to answer quickly and nodded quickly: "Hey, of course, we will go back to take a shower and change clothes."

Ren Jun twisted his neck and echoed: "Yeah, it's really tiring to play the whole game. I feel like my bones are numb."

Suddenly, a gust of fragrant wind came, and Li Yuan felt a little white flowers flickering in front of his eyes.
Before the people arrive, the sound comes first.

"Li Yuan, Liu Jia, what are you talking about, smiling so happily?"

Li Yuan glanced sideways and saw that the big bear girl wearing a JK skirt and long sexy legs was already standing in front of him.

Before Li Yuan could speak, Liu Jia answered with a shy voice: "Rongrong, Brother Yuan just said that he was going to treat our classmates to a big dinner tonight."

Wang Jierong's beautiful eyes lit up, she stared at Li Yuan, and asked with a smile: "Handsome guy, do you mind having one more person to help you?"
