Who Would Fall in Love After Being Reborn?

TL: Etude Translations

That afternoon, the editing of “Military Training Goddess’s Talent Show” was completed in just two hours. It was branded with Zhihu’s watermark and included a Zhihu lead-in page with a traffic directing function. It was Lu Feiyu’s responsibility to upload it to various websites, including a link to the Zhihu website in the details page.

[Talent Show on the Military Training Field: Goddess’s Graceful Dance and Enchanting Piano Sound]

Lu Feiyu typed out a string of words for the title, then confidently turned the screen around to show Jiang Qin, seeking his boss’s opinion.

Jiang Qin glanced at it and felt it lacked appeal, unlikely to arouse a gentleman’s curiosity to click. He took over the keyboard, his fingers tapping swiftly, and made some minor modifications.

[Shocking! Military Training Goddess Boldly Does This on the Field!]

“Let’s try this title first,” Jiang Qin said as he let go of the keyboard.

Seeing the new title, Lu Feiyu was stunned for a long time, his eyes gradually revealing a hint of shock: “Boss, your thinking has brought a new enlightenment to my career!”

“Learn well, there’s enough ‘yellow stuff’ in the boss’s belly for you to study for twenty years,” Dong Wenhao chimed in with a flattering remark.

Before Jiang Qin could respond, Su Nai, drawn by the key phrase, came over and carefully examined the title on the screen, feeling it somewhat familiar.

On a quiet night, when she was alone working overtime in the office until it was deserted, had she not clicked on a similar title?

“Boss, the video I watched couldn’t be the same as yours, right? Oh god, I feel dirty…”

Jiang Qin spat at her: “Stop with the lewd jokes. Put aside your current work; I have a new task for you.”

Su Nai adjusted her glasses: “The website upgrade is already done. What other tasks are there?”

“Develop a function for Zhihu that automatically adds watermarks to photos and videos.”

As an open social platform used by college students nationwide, it’s becoming more common for premium content to be reposted on other websites. You can’t stop the leak of content, so you have to make use of it.

In simple terms, if you want my content, you can’t blame me for mooching off your traffic.

To achieve this, some things must be done at the source, like automatically adding watermarks to photos and videos upon upload. This is the most effective way to drive traffic.

“Damn boss, making me work again, my hobbies are almost cured by you!”

Su Nai was infuriated, thinking how she hadn’t had a break in the past six months.

I went for market research, managed the website upgrade, and even had to provide technical support for Zhihu’s ground promotion. Now there’s a new task.

She had secretly paid for a year’s membership to a video site, planning to indulge when work was less hectic. But with one task after another, it seemed like a waste of money!

“Those hobbies are bad for your health; I’m just using work as an excuse to help you quit!”

Jiang Qin showed a capitalistic benevolence and then left room 208.

Since the start of Zhihu’s promotion, his thoughts had been constantly diverging. On one hand, guiding room 208 in online content optimization, and on the other, keeping up with feedback from Zhihu’s promotion. Although his body wasn’t tired, he was mentally exhausted.

So, he decided to go back to the dormitory for a good rest.

On a quiet summer evening, the old fan in the dorm struggled to spin, humming. Ren Ziqiang lay on his bed, furiously chatting with his crush on his phone.

Seeing Jiang Qin return, Ren Ziqiang rolled out of bed, his eyes sparkling with hope.

“Brother Jiang, a question: do you believe in love at first sight or that love grows over time?”

“I don’t believe in emotions; I believe money makes the world go round. But why do you ask?”

Ren Ziqiang scratched his head: “It’s not me asking; it’s Wang Linlin. We’re chatting on QQ, and she suddenly asked me this. I don’t know how to respond.”

Jiang Qin yawned: “It’s indeed a tricky question; it’s a trap. Saying love at first sight makes you seem frivolous and unstable, but saying love grows over time seems like you weren’t dazzled by her at first sight. Give her a roundabout answer.”

“What’s a roundabout answer?”

“Tell her, love at first sight is liking, and love growing over time is deep love. Without the initial liking of love at first sight, there’s no deep love that comes with time. This way, you cover both bases.”

Ren Ziqiang was impressed, immediately sending Jiang Qin’s clever words to her, and also worried about his neighbor, Zhuang Chen.

Cao Guangyu couldn’t help but ask, “Jiang, is your thing with Feng Nanshu love at first sight or love over time?”

“I’m only interested in money when it comes to Feng Nanshu.”

“?”

After washing up in the bathroom, Jiang Qin climbed into bed to sleep. Then he heard Ren Ziqiang cheer: “Brother Jiang, she asked me out to walk the off-campus pedestrian street this Saturday!”

Old Ren excitedly got out of bed, doing several push-ups, and decided to treat the whole dorm to a meal with his living expenses.

Zhou Chao also found it rather bewildering. Damn, he hadn’t done anything yet again, and here he was, getting a free meal. It was simply fantastic.

“Old Ren, is it okay if I bring Feng Nanshu along?” Jiang Qin asked from his bed, his gaze fixed on the chat box on his phone screen.

[Jiang Qin, I’ve been a good listener today, are you done with your work?]

[Jiang Qin, I saw that cat that can do backflips again this afternoon]

[Jiang Qin, Richie says he wants to go out for a walk]

[Brother, I miss you so much my little feet are itching uncontrollably, I feel like crying all day]

[The above message was sent by Gao Wenhui, actually, it’s not that itchy.]

Jiang Qin had been busy to the point of dizziness these past few days and hadn’t spent much time with his good friend. Now, reading the little rich lady’s messages, it was clear she couldn’t stand being alone for even a moment, with “want to meet” “want to meet” written between the lines.

Ren Ziqiang, currently immersed in the intense pleasure of having asked out his crush, revered Jiang Qin like a godfather and naturally wouldn’t refuse.

“Let’s do this: I’ll bring Ding Xue along. She’s a girl and understands girls’ subtle thoughts best. You can ask her what kind of boys girls like,” Cao Guangyu suggested opportunely, sly as a fox.

Ren Ziqiang nodded vigorously, feeling utterly grateful: “Sure thing, Brother Cao. I’ll definitely seek her advice.”

Hearing this, Jiang Qin sat up: “Old Ren, you can ask for advice, but make sure it’s quiet. Don’t let my little rich lady learn this stuff; she picks up things too quickly!”

“Brother Jiang, I can ask quietly, but Sister Xue might not speak quietly.”

“Good point. Then, Old Cao, you tell Ding Xue to keep it down, don’t let her teach my little rich lady.”

Hearing this, Old Cao immediately narrowed his eyes: “I can keep it down, but you have to treat me to a meal. Otherwise, it’s always me getting tricked by you, which is quite embarrassing.”

Jiang Qin smiled: “You want me to treat you? Sure, the day after tomorrow evening, I’ll set up a table just for you at Juxianlou.”

“Really? Isn’t that a bit too much? Nanshan Restaurant would be enough.”

“How could Nanshan Restaurant be worthy of you, Young Master Cao? It must be Juxianlou. How about this: bring Ding Xue along, and I’ll have a good chat with her about you watching the schoolgirls at the playground. What do you think?”

“…”

Cao Guangyu’s face visibly panicked: “Brother Jiang, I was wrong. I’ll make sure she keeps it down!”

Jiang Qin pondered for a moment: “I don’t think that’s enough. You have to treat the whole dorm to a meal, then I might just forgive your earlier impoliteness.”

Hearing this, Zhou Chao on his bed couldn’t contain his laughter. Oh my, what a miraculous dorm! I haven’t said a word and yet I’ve passively scored a second free meal. The living expenses I brought for the semester aren’t even being spent. Is there no justice in this world?

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day. Jiang Qin visited room 208 to check on the traffic-driving video. Finding the video quite effective, he confirmed that this approach could be continued.

He convened a meeting with the content team to systematically analyze and discuss the traffic-driving videos.

How to cleverly use scripts and editing to create “accidental videos” suitable for spreading, allowing them to shine on other platforms, thereby driving traffic to Zhihu.

For example, what if we find someone to play a freshman exhausted by military training, begging for rain in uniform on the field, then switch to a scene where the sky suddenly darkens and a downpour follows? Would that work?

Or, what if we reenact a popular anime scene in an interesting dialect? Could it generate traffic?

Inspired by Jiang Qin’s ideas, Dong Wenhao and Lu Feiyu’s imaginations began to expand, coming up with many fresh ideas.

“Boss, I get what you mean, but I have a lot of mixed ideas in my head right now. Can I take some time to organize them?”

“Sure, think it through, then write me a proposal. Let’s call this project the ‘Douyin Plan.’”

“Got it, boss.”

Jiang Qin waved his hand to adjourn the meeting, then opened the newly upgraded website and browsed it carefully. Zhihu’s content volume was growing, and several sections had been spun off from the previous categories for easier search and browsing.

In addition, the newly added sections were also gradually accumulating a rich volume of content.

Particularly, the social news search ranking that Su Nai developed during the summer vacation had passed the test and was officially launched, named “Today’s Headlines,” succinct and popular among college students.

“Brother Jiang, come to Nanshan Restaurant. The table is reserved, and Old Cao and Ding Xue have arrived!”

“Okay, give me half an hour. I’m going to pick up Feng Nanshu.”

Jiang Qin replied to the message, got up, unplugged Little Pink’s power cord in room 207, and headed towards the Finance Department’s dormitory under the evening’s fiery sunset clouds.
