Bai Weixi gave a charming smile as she listened to Zhong Tingyue. She watched expectantly, waiting for her response. A subconscious desire to compete sparked within her, to see whose answer was more accurate and would earn Li Yuan’s approval.

Zhong Tingyue brushed back a strand of hair and began speaking with a graceful smile, her voice reaching their ears.

"I think that this ’Kan Yi Dao’ model, aside from the rapid propagation and promotion that Weixi mentioned, has a primary function of increasing the user activity level."

"During lunch, I looked at the ’Zhihu’ website’s introductory page. Besides promoting new user registration, increasing the ’activity level’ of existing users also earns a certain amount of Contribution Value, which can substitute for new user sign-ups. This approach will help ’Zhihu’ retain these users."

"If the website’s content is attractive enough, it could convert these netizens into permanent users. The Zhihu website could then undergo a massive leap in scale, allowing it to compete with the major websites."

"I’m confident, Senior, that this ’Kan Yi Dao’ model you’ve created will become a classic business model in the internet sector, one that will surely be featured in textbooks in the future. Moreover, this model has even broader applications. For instance, it would be even more effective in the emerging e-commerce sector..."

Zhong Tingyue suddenly paused, her eyes gleaming as she stared at Li Yuan and asked seriously, "Senior, for your next step, have you really not considered starting an e-commerce site similar to ’Taobao’?"

With the rapid development of the internet, online shopping was no longer unfamiliar to most people; Zhong Tingyue herself had bought clothes and other items online before. She was exceptionally smart, and through her conversation with Li Yuan, she had immediately grasped the extensive applications of the ’Kan Yi Dao’ model.

Zhihu had already exploded in popularity online. She had briefly browsed its content at noon and found it highly targeted and distinctive. Its target audience consisted of tens, or even hundreds, of millions of university students and young adults. If they could capture this core group of internet surfers and online consumers, then establishing an online shopping platform similar to ’Taobao’ was definitely possible.

Hearing Zhong Tingyue’s question, Bai Weixi shivered and asked in astonishment, "Wouldn’t building an e-commerce platform be incredibly expensive? I’ve heard it can cost hundreds of millions. Those markets aren’t easy to break into, are they...?"

Zhong Tingyue smiled and teased, "Hee hee, anyway, Li the Big Scumbag is rich, so just let him spend it all. If he really goes bankrupt, we can support him."

Speechless, Li Yuan shot Zhong Tingyue a look and muttered, "If I really go bankrupt, I’ll just come to your house to freeload every day."

Zhong Tingyue replied cheerfully, "That’s fine by me! Didn’t you say you can cook? From now on, you can be our househusband, and the three of us sisters will go out and earn money for the family."

"For real? That’s a great idea! So, does that mean the four of us would live together?" Li Yuan’s face lit up, his eyes shining. Come to think of it, a life like that seems pretty wonderful! If I could live with Zhong Tingyue, Bai Weixi, and Xia Zhijin—three absolute stunners, each with their own unique charm... Tsk tsk, that would definitely be very interesting and incredibly thrilling.

Li Yuan’s mind had already begun to fantasize about that wonderful life.

Zhong Tingyue rolled her eyes at him and huffed, "Hmph, you wish, you despicable senior. That wicked grin of yours makes you look like a big bad wolf. You’re surely up to no good."

When Bai Weixi heard Li Yuan talk about "the four of them living together," some unknown thought popped into her head, and her cheeks suddenly flushed scarlet. She glanced shyly at Zhong Tingyue and Xia Zhijin, only to find that their faces were also tinged with red.

They weren’t fools, and having all been intimate with him before, they naturally understood the implication behind Li Yuan’s words.

Li Yuan mumbled, "You’re the ones who said you’d support me together."

Hearing his quiet muttering, Zhong Tingyue’s cheeks reddened slightly. She glanced at Bai Weixi and the ever-silent Xia Zhijin, her heart fluttering. She had only said those things because she wanted to close the distance with Bai Weixi and Xia Zhijin, to keep their relationships from becoming so strained.

As for her reason?

Zhong Tingyue gazed with a complex expression at the brilliant and deeply sensitive man before her, a man who had also been so good to her.

She couldn’t bear to give him up!

After discovering that Li Yuan was juggling multiple women and had deceived her, she had wanted to let him go. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t. After what happened the night before last, she had come to a realization. If she couldn’t let go, then she had to choose to accept it—to choose to fight for him.

Having witnessed her own parents’ relationship, she knew that truly fighting for him didn’t mean pestering him endlessly, throwing tantrums, or clinging to him at every moment. Doing that would only make her lose faster and lose more!

Zhong Tingyue pursed her lips into a light smile. "Zhihu Founder, what did you think of my analysis? Hurry up and give me some feedback!"

Li Yuan smiled. "Do you want the truth or a lie?"

"The truth, of course!" Zhong Tingyue’s heart suddenly tightened. Could I have been wrong? Are these not his real thoughts?

Li Yuan chuckled. "The truth is... congratulations, you got everything right. You’re a rare business prodigy, a future CEO of a publicly listed company, the female president of a Fortune 500 enterprise, and a billionaire on the Forbes list..."
