Becoming a Billionaire after Divorce

Chapter 789 - 299: Securing the Micro Short Drama App Director

After the wedding banquet.The guests dispersed, but Sun Dasheng stayed where he was.

Qian Zhi knew his old classmate had something to discuss with him.

So he gestured to his wife to handle the guests.

Mei Na was understanding and considerate. She immediately took over her husband’s task and quietly slipped the bank card she kept at home into his pocket: "When it comes time to spend money, let’s not have President Sun foot the bill."

"Don’t worry, we’re just going out for a bit, it won’t cost much." Qian Zhi reassured her, then left with Sun Dasheng.

A simple massage parlor by the street.

The legitimate kind.

After the massage, Sun Dasheng took out some money and requested to borrow a private room for a rest.

The old doctor accepted with a smile, "It’s quiet here, no one will disturb you while you chat."

He even brewed them a pot of tea and brought over some snacks.

Hey...

The service was actually quite attentive.

"Congratulations on your little qilin."

Previously, it was said in front of everyone as a formality, but now it was a sincere congratulations from an old classmate.

Qian Zhi understood perfectly; he got a bit teary: "If it weren’t for you, this good life I’m living now, I wouldn’t have dared to dream of it back then."

"I was once crushed by responsibilities, couldn’t even afford to raise a daughter, how could I dare to have a second child?"

His slightly self-deprecating words stirred Sun Dasheng’s memories.

Of those ten years he worked hard like a horse.

How many decades does one get in life?

Damn, thinking back, what kind of hell was that period?

No wonder the internet is now flooded with denouncing of the "tortoise male."

The "tortoise male" indeed deserves disdain.

They deserve to be scolded.

At least his old classmate has a reasonable, considerate wife, and they had a daughter, bringing some hope every day despite the hardships.

And what about me?

Ten years of hard work, and I didn’t even get a child out of it.

Don’t ask, because the answer is there was no guarantee.

At the time, was I out of my mind to believe her nonsense?

"It’s all in the past." Sun Dasheng patted him on the shoulder.

Between men, words aren’t necessary; they can quickly adjust their mood.

"I’m being a bit emotional, you go ahead and say what you need, I’ll do whatever you ask, no questions asked." Qian Zhi said, patting his chest.

Seeing his serious expression, Sun Dasheng knew he misunderstood.

Somewhat amused, he said, "Don’t be so serious, it’s not like I’m asking you to do anything illegal, it’s good news."

"Oh, then what is it?" Qian Zhi instantly relaxed, a smile on his face.

"The company is preparing to open a new subsidiary related to the internet, but we haven’t found a suitable person in charge yet." Sun Dasheng didn’t keep him in suspense and got straight to the point.

Qian Zhi was a bit surprised: "The internet? I’m not really familiar with it, never done it before, wouldn’t it be better to find someone more specialized?"

He wasn’t rejecting it, he truly knew he wasn’t suited for it. Being entrusted with it and failing would be a problem, right?

Moreover, the milk tea chain store he manages now cannot do without him.

When he expressed his thoughts.

"What you say makes sense, but this project is very important to the company right now. I first need a reliable person in charge more than a specialized one, understand?" Sun Dasheng pointed out.

Got it.

Be a temporary caretaker, and once the company stabilizes, hand it over to a professional. He’d only be nurturing it initially.

Once he understood, Qian Zhi accepted the responsibility without hesitation: "Alright, I’ll start handing over my current duties when we get back."

"You agreed without even asking?" Sun Dasheng said with a laugh.

"Hey, I’ll do whatever you want me to." Qian Zhi laughed along.

"I better explain some things first, so you won’t be totally lost when you take over. While the company just needs you to oversee it at first, and there are professionals for the technical stuff, you should still understand a bit, right? Otherwise, the staff might take advantage of you."

"Alright."

And so, the two started discussing micro short dramas at the massage shop.

However, Qian Zhi, apart from his hobbies of fishing and foot massages, devotes his entire heart to work, so he wasn’t very familiar with micro short dramas.

Because men like him didn’t have the time or money to watch micro short dramas, even if pirated ones were available online, they’d be too lazy to look.

With that time, they’d rather go home early to rest; if anything, after finishing chores, they’d sneak a peek at Douyin under their wife’s radar, which is more appealing, right?

As such, the main audience for micro short dramas is women. Women, whether old or young, love watching them, and they have the time and money to spend on them.

Among men, only retired folks with pensions enjoy and can afford them.

So, it was normal for him to not understand it right away.

The knowledge Sun Dasheng had was also what he recently learned from the internet.

Qian Zhi frustratedly tapped his head in annoyance.

Sun Dasheng quickly said: "It’s fine, I’ll take a bit more time to explain to you. Once I’ve clarified it and you get the logic, you’ll understand."

He began with the development of micro short dramas:

"The early exploration phase of micro short dramas: In the early 2000s, online video platforms began to rise, with some creative directors and actors attempting to create micro films, such as the emergence of micro-film series like ’100 Flowers Hidden Deep,’ ’Old Boys,’ ’Youth,’ laying the foundation for the development of micro short dramas."
