Chapter 53.3 Lin Jingzhe was completely befuddled. "?????"


With the winds of fortune in their favor, Lin Jingzhe was not in a rush to give his suggestions.


Therefore, he could be said to be very satisfied with the current results. His tone was full of encouragement, "Very good. I’ve tried it, and what you have developed is a very convenient website. Netizens who surf the Internet no longer have to manually type in any website's url. I'm sure it will be a great success."


"Thank you for your kind words," Liang Pi said gratefully. After a short pause, he then added, "It's just that this website is not generating much profit. Our team is working hard to find a way, and we will definitely provide you with a charter as soon as possible."


"Don't be so anxious." The researchers were eager, but Lin Jingzhe, the investor, didn't place much importance on it. He comforted Liang Pi, "You don't have to think about the profits for the next few years. I didn’t plan for you to generate any profits any time soon. Manage it well, develop it, perfect it, and the funds will trickle in when the time comes. Don’t lose sight of the bigger picture and compromise the future of your website for a small profit.”


Liang Pi was actually feeling somewhat apprehensive. A few days ago, someone in the team suggested to him that after Best Partner Search became bigger, their company could use the order of the redirect links displayed on their website as a leverage fee. That way if any of the included websites wanted to be listed closer to the top, all they had to do was to pay Best Partner Search a promotional charge. This suggestion lingered in Liang Pi’s mind. Of course he didn't want to agree, but if their investors were eager to see their return, Best Partner IT could only use this method to demonstrate its value.


Surprisingly, Lin Jingzhe was even more invested in Best Partner Search's future than him, its creator. Overwhelmed with gratitude, Liang Pi agreed to the proposed course of action.



"By the way, Mr. Lin," Liang Pi mentioned, before concluding the call, "Gao Sheng discussed your marketing idea with me. I've given him the go-ahead to assemble a team during our last quarterly meeting."


"Okay." Lin Jingzhe remained nonchalant when Gao Sheng's name was brought up.


But after hanging up the phone, he quickly reopened the homepage of Ocean Forum.


Ocean Forum was currently the largest and most functional domestic bulletin board system (bbs). It gathered almost all the people who could and had the ability to surf the Internet. Although the number of posts and views per day were far less than that of ordinary websites in the future, it was already very impressive for the current era.


When he came entered the site, Lin Jingzhe saw a certain post near the top of the homepage——


{Found a super useful website!!!}


He clicked into the string of text, and after a short load, a very primitively decorated post jumped out.


In the box at the top, the poster typed a bunch of densely packed small characters - {Just now I accidentally discovered a website. It's so useful! My fellow friends, please go, and check it out! It’s called XXXXX…}


Since the link cannot be clicked directly, this text was followed by a large long string of characters for the others to copy and search up.


The replies below were increasing in real time——


{It's so easy to use! Thank you for sharing this! In the future, I no longer need to enter the URL when I visit this forum!}


{Best Partner Search, so convenient!}


{It's really good! I also recommend Best Partner Search!}


...


Holy sh!t——


Lin Jingzhe, a modern person who had braved countless marketing methods from the future, was almost immediately ashamed by the words left by the marketing team under the post. The second hand embarrassment was so strong that he wanted to roll on the ground. For Gao Sheng and his team to write like this, the degree of shame was too high and terrifying!


He was so embarrassed that his scalp tingled. However, it was obvious that this primitive navy method had no problems catching the innocent netizens’ attention.


So after a while, there were new replies——


{I’m a little unused to this layout, but it's really good. It includes a lot of websites that I didn't even know of.}


{You can also find the correct results by directly searching the Chinese characters? Amazing!}


{It would be better if the website names could be bigger…}


Although Gao Sheng's method was a bit crude, it undoubtedly had a good effect.


When Lin Jingzhe turned off the computer, this embarrassing post had already become the most popular one in the forum.


*******


The harmonious symphony of piano and violin serenaded the room as the bride, adorned in a trendy white western wedding dress, was escorted by her father down the crimson carpet. A man just above thirty, a member of Yan City’s Real Estate Alliance, eagerly awaited her on the stage. His face was full of joy.


After all, a wedding was an important milestone in life. Almost all the people who were in contact with the couple were invited, especially the other members of the alliance. Even Qi Kai, who had always lived wildly, had to follow the rules of the world.


The alliance members sat right beside the main table. They were seated in the most important table besides the immediate family members of the newlyweds. Dai Gaofeng smiled sincerely, his face glowing with pleasure as he looked away from the stage. His gaze landed on Xiao Chi who was sitting on his right. Dai Gaofeng admired the half-knot on the top of his head and said, "The new hairstyle is very good looking! Much better than that slicked back hairstyle you had before. Young people just need to be more youthful and dynamic!"


Xiao Chi glanced at Dai Gaofeng's pompadour hairstyle. This elder didn't have this hairstyle at first. It was only after Dai Gaofeng saw his hairstyle back then, did his hair also get doused in mousse. However, his face was too round and he had a double chin. Xiao Chi had heard Hu Shaofeng ridicule Dai Gaofeng’s choice of cut countless times because it was completely unsuited for that man and was extremely distasteful to look at.


Dai Gaofeng had always deliberately avoided mentioning his imitation hairstyle. However, he was very happy today. Dai Gaofeng glanced up at Xiao Chi's head from the moment he arrived. However, in today's celebratory mood, he unabashedly complimented Xiao Chi's haircut, singing praises of the stylist, "Youthful! Vigorous! The stylist you found is very good! Very good!"


Xiao Chi glanced at Lin Jingzhe, who was sitting two seats away from Dai Gaofeng's left. He calmly said, "Thank you."


Oblivious to the conversation, Lin Jingzhe continued to observe the bride and groom intently. 


Dai Gaofeng glanced around the table and said in a low voice, "Xiao Chi, I heard from your father that you have moved out from home?"


Xiao Chi nodded. "I live in Dongtai Community now. You can come visit when you get the chance."


Visiting was unnecessary. If Dai Gaofeng didn’t have a head in terms of seniority, he would have had a stomachache when facing Xiao Chi. He smiled perfunctorily, in fact, he was more curious about the answer to his next question. "I heard from your father that you are in a relationship. Are you living alone or with your partner?"


Xiao Chi replied, "We live together."


Dai Gaofeng felt a mix of disappointment and relief. He had been looking for potential perspectives for Xiao Chi. There were already a few candidates that he had set his eyes on. After all, it was very worrying for this child to have never brought anyone home at this age. 


But now, all his efforts have obviously come to naught.


However, now that Xiao Chi was cohabitating with his partner, it suggested their relationship had matured, a fact that made Dai Gaofeng genuinely happy. 


He breathed a sigh of relief, sincerely feeling a sense of responsibility as an elder. He patted Xiao Chi on the shoulder and said, "Very good. You have to treat them well and remember your responsibilities, you are almost at the age to start a family."


Xiao Chi glanced at Lin Jingzhe again. This time he was caught by Lin Jingzhe. Lin Jingzhe gave him a subtle smile and pointed to the mung bean cake on the table.


Xiao Chi took a piece of bean cake and bit it, and the sweet taste immediately spread onto his taste buds.


He nodded towards Dai Gaofeng and said seriously, "We are already planning to get married. At that time, I would like you, uncle, to arrange the banquet."


"Okay!"


Dai Gaofeng was so happy that he almost jumped up. He took a sip of wine and excitedly made plans for him. "At that time, we will set up a banquet at Yan City Restaurant! We can have about a hundred or two hundred tables for the guests, and I will pay for it! You just have to decide on your honeymoon trip. Just mention where you two want to go directly. Is Hawaii okay?"


Xiao Chi was a little uncertain. He pondered for a while and simply asked Lin Jingzhe softly across the table, "Is Hawaii okay?"


Because their conversation was spoken quietly, Lin Jingzhe didn't hear any of its contents just now. He was completely left in the dark, baffled: "?????"


Dai Gaofeng was also confused: "????"


Xiao Chi didn't get an answer, so he withdrew his gaze. He then answered, "I'm not sure either."


Dai Gaofeng almost stuttered. Was it really necessary to have an on-the-spot investigation like that? There was no hope for Xiao Chi. Thinking about it, Dai Gaofeng simply stood up and toasted to everyone on the table, "Have you all ever been to Hawaii? Since we’re already planning on a group vacation, let's go to Hawaii. How about it?"


Everyone at the table immediately agreed, "Okay!"


"???" Lin Jingzhe was still puzzled. What was going on? Why did they suddenly start talking about Hawaii?


Dai Gaofeng was proud. His methods were much better than Xiao Chi's; instead of asking others, it's better to investigate by himself.


What's the use of asking Lin Jingzhe? What did he know? Did he know Hawaii was good or not? Did he know if it was suitable for a honeymoon? Better to just go and see for ourselves!
