Chapter 268 Eating at the Bamboo Grove Courtyard Again
He added, "Market research is being conducted concurrently. Through questionnaires, small-scale interviews, and data analysis, we have initially outlined the core live-streaming user profile and content preference trends. The report has been compiled and can be sent to everyone for reference after the meeting. In short, entertaining, highly interactive, and talented or uniquely charismatic streamers, as well as content with storytelling and topicality, remain the current market hotspots, but users' demands for content quality are also significantly increasing."
Ye Fan nodded approvingly.
Tang Huai'an has a clear vision and solid actions. He has both strategic vision and practical execution skills, which is exactly the kind of right-hand man he needs.
Afterwards, Ye Fan listened to Gu Yuejia's report on the initial ideas for market promotion, as well as brief explanations from other department managers on personnel, technology, content direction, and other aspects.
Although everyone had different ideas, they all proceeded in an orderly manner within the framework set by Ye Fan.
Ye Fan wasn't in a hurry; it wasn't time for the company to start investing money yet.
The team is not even fully assembled yet, so taking too big a step could easily lead to disaster.
After listening to everyone's reports, Ye Fan summarized, "Your direction is correct. I'll give you another half month to understand and engage with the market. After that, you can investigate projects you think are worth investing in. Then, I want to see each of you submit a project plan! Write down the projects you think are most worth investing in, have the most potential, and that you most want to do! As long as the plan impresses and convinces me, I will fully support you and let you lead the project!"
These words were like a fuse being lit! The atmosphere in the conference room was instantly ignited.
"Roger that, boss!" This time, the response was full of passion and energy.
The reason they chose to switch jobs to this company was because they wanted to be able to personally take charge of some projects. Now that Ye Fan had said this, they were full of energy.
"Alright, meeting adjourned." Ye Fan stood up decisively, without saying another word.
As the helmsman, he pointed out the direction and started the engine; now it was time for these captains to set sail.
Details? He believed that these professionals could find the optimal solution.
All he needs to do is stand at a high vantage point, steer the Minglu Entertainment ship towards the vast ocean of the entertainment industry.
Everyone left the meeting room.
Gu Yuejia lingered until the very end, only stepping forward when she and Ye Fan were the only ones left in the conference room.
"Boss, I've contacted a professional team to handle your McLaren P1. It's just that the damage is too severe; many critical components need to be custom-made and airlifted from McLaren's UK headquarters. Their assessment says the entire repair process will take approximately... four months." Gu Yuejia finished speaking, lowering her head slightly, feeling a pang of guilt.
Ye Fan was slightly taken aback. If Gu Yuejia hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about that wrecked top-of-the-line supercar.
Since the accident, Ye Fan has just left the car there without having anyone take care of it. He felt that since the accident was so serious, it didn't matter whether it was repaired or not.
It will take four months for Gu Yuejia to send it for repairs, by which time the LaFerrari will be back. However, since Gu Yuejia has already gone to the trouble of making the arrangements, he wouldn't refuse her kindness.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work." Ye Fan nodded, his tone calm.
However, Gu Yuejia showed no intention of leaving.
She stood there, her fingers unconsciously twisting the edge of the folder, a rare look of hesitation and confusion appearing on her usually sharp and capable face, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
Ye Fan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Uh...actually..." Gu Yuejia took a deep breath, as if she had made a great decision, and said quickly, "I just wanted to ask if you are free any evening recently? I would like to invite you to my house for a casual meal as a formal apology for what happened with Yan Jun."
After she finished speaking, her cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes were fixed on the ground.
Ye Fan understood what was going on when he saw her like this.
He leaned back in his chair, his tone calm yet reassuring: "There's really no need for an apology. That incident was related to you, but the fault lies entirely with that madman Yan Jun. The matter has been resolved, and I wasn't physically harmed, so let's move on. Miao Zi should have conveyed my message to you as well; you don't need to feel guilty or take it to heart. Focusing on your work is the best response you can give me."
Gu Yuejia nodded upon hearing this: "Oh, okay. I'll go get busy now!"
......
Ye Fan got up and left the company.
We arrived at the underground parking garage.
He drove Xiang Hao's Audi A4 out of the Zifeng Tower and merged into the evening rush hour traffic.
It was already evening when he approached Nanjing University and spotted a familiar figure by the roadside – Xian Zuling.
She was carrying a simple canvas bag and walking alone along the sidewalk toward the school. Her slender figure stretched long under the streetlights, suggesting she had just finished her part-time job at a convenience store near the school.
Ye Fan slowed down the car and rolled down the window: "Offer sacrifices to the ancestral spirits, get in!"
Xian Zuling turned around upon hearing the sound and saw Ye Fan. A surprised and shy smile immediately spread across her delicate face. She ran over, opened the car door, and sat in the passenger seat.
As the car entered the campus, Ye Fan did not drive towards the dormitory area, but instead turned directly towards the Bamboo Grove Courtyard.
It's been several days since he last ate here.
As soon as she entered the house, Xian Zuling went straight into the kitchen, put on an apron, and began to quickly prepare dinner for Ye Fan.
It's time to eat now, but they're only just starting to cook.
Ye Fan went straight to the bathroom, intending to take a shower to wash away the day's fatigue.
Turn on the shower head, and warm water flows down.
When he picked up the shampoo bottle, he noticed that it was much lighter, and the shower gel bottle had also shrunk a little.
When he saw that the ancestral offering hadn't been used, he simply tore off the production date label, replaced it with a new one, and told the ancestral offering to use it quickly, as it would expire soon if not used.
Sure enough, Xian Zuling checked the date and found that it was about to expire, so he started using it.
The effect is remarkable.
Ye Fan noticed that Xian Zuling's hair, which was originally dry and yellow like withered grass, had become much smoother and more manageable after using good shampoo and receiving sufficient nutrition during this period. Although the hair color was still yellowish, the malnourished and withered feeling had been greatly reduced.
Compared to the thin and timid girl she was when school started, her transformation is truly heartening.
......
The dormitory was far from peaceful as night deepened.
For some reason, Xiao Ji got into a heated argument with his girlfriend on the phone. His voice was rising and falling, which was very annoying.
Ye Fan lay in bed scrolling through his phone, unable to fall asleep due to the noise.
