Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

The second day of military training, eight o'clock in the morning.

At the door of Secretary Li’s office.

Lin Ruoxi followed Xue Rui with a big schoolbag on her back, her steps brisk.

She didn't wear the military training uniform today. Xue Rui said there was no need for military training and he would take her for a walk in the afternoon.

Lin Ruoxi saw someone coming and hurriedly called out, "Hello, Secretary Li."

"Good morning, Secretary. Have you had breakfast?" Xue Rui said with a smile.

"Well, come in." Secretary Li nodded and went to open the door.

Xue Rui walked into the office and closed the door gently.

He motioned for the little girl to turn around, and he took out the documents he had prepared in advance, as well as a black plastic bag containing two packs of cigarettes, and placed it under the pile of documents.

"Secretary, our counselor has signed it." Xue Rui placed the things gently on the table.

Secretary Li looked at the outline of the black plastic bag and instantly understood what Xue Rui meant.

He smiled at Xue Rui and subconsciously looked out the door. He found that Xue Rui had closed the door a long time ago and was still standing in front of him, blocking his view from the window.

Since Xue Rui has done everything perfectly, why doesn't he accept it?
Xue Rui's attitude in asking people for help was very good, and his impression of Xue Rui improved a bit.

Secretary Li left the two exemption applications on the table and silently put the rest of the documents and the black plastic bag into the drawer.

Lin Ruoxi blinked her eyes. They came to hand in documents, so why didn’t Secretary Li look at them?
She knew that the black plastic bag contained cigarettes, but Secretary Li and Xue Rui didn't mention it...

He doesn't say anything, as if he assumes the other person knows the thing.

Is this what the adult world is like?

"Well, the school actually encourages students to start their own businesses. If you have any difficulties, you can tell the school."

After Secretary Li signed, he was in a good mood and said a few more polite words to Xue Rui.

Xue Rui thought for a moment and said, "Secretary, there really is something."

Secretary Li suddenly felt overwhelmed. I was just being polite. Do you have anything else to do?

With millions in cash flow, what can he ask of?
"Yesterday I met a melon farmer. His children didn't have enough money to go to school. They were so pitiful, so I bought all the watermelons from his farm. I couldn't finish them all by myself, so I thought of providing some as welfare for the students in our school's military training. But I was afraid that the school would expel me..." Xue Rui told Secretary Li a story.

Lin Ruoxi tilted her head and looked at Xue Rui. Didn’t she and Xue Rui go to wholesale those watermelons yesterday?

Secretary Li didn't believe Xue Rui's nonsense and automatically ignored the first half of the story.

"Are you sure you don't want to charge money?" Secretary Li asked again. As long as it's not an open business, it's fine.

"We won't charge you any money, and it won't affect the school's image. I just ask you to lend me a shed. After all, it's too sunny this summer." Xue Rui said seriously.

Actually, Xue Rui wanted the name of the school on the shed. That thing looked like a school thing, and activities had to have a legitimate reason...

"Okay." Secretary Li nodded in agreement. At least he didn't have to ask for funding.

Anyway, he had to take a walk around the playground and could supervise Xue Rui at the same time.

After getting permission, at 9 o'clock in the morning, Xue Rui set up his watermelon stall in the corner of the playground. He and the little girl each put a straw hat on their heads, looking like a young couple selling watermelons.

In fact, this scene is happening at military training sites in many schools. He contacted many school student unions in advance and spent money on promotion.

Only old students who have a good relationship with the school can take on this kind of business, otherwise they will easily be expelled from the school.

What he and the little girl created was a life service platform similar to the campus confession wall and the universal wall.

This was the golden period of the mobile Internet explosion in 2014. Every college student had a smartphone and became more and more dependent on the Internet. For example, when his roommate felt pain in his foot, the first thing he did was not to go to the doctor, but to check on Baidu first...

But regarding things happening in the school, let alone in 2014, even in 2024, there is very little information on the Internet, and only local life service platforms can provide some clues.

Some colleges and universities already have products such as confession walls, but they are all made using platforms such as QQ Space. They do not have mature operations and monetization models, and will be restricted by public platforms in the future.

But Xue Rui is different. He has been involved in this kind of project before and knows that the profit is still considerable because the user base is highly vertical. Most of them are local driving schools, academic institutions, vendors’ advertisements, etc.

Now that he has started early, he is trying to build private domain traffic. While making money from advertising, he can also incubate his other products.

The first thing to do is to promote the APP. Its target users are very precise, students undergoing military training.

It is easy to get people to install a single APP. You just need to advertise in various groups. But it is not easy to keep them. It depends not only on the content but also the quality of the software.

Most mobile phones these days only have 16G of storage, and everyone is a master of space management. Data traffic is also ridiculously expensive. Of course, the data traffic on campus cards is still very affordable, and students don’t lack data traffic...

The problem is that we must not have a 3A masterpiece like QQ in the future, a chat software with a game engine inserted into it, otherwise students will quickly make a choice due to insufficient mobile phone storage.

Therefore, the software had to be small and concise. He asked the little girl to compress the size of the software installation package, and finally compressed it to less than 2M.

Thinking back to the time when the first version of WeChat’s installation package was only less than 0.5M, Xue Rui, as someone who had experienced it all, could hardly imagine that its size would expand a thousand times in ten years…

Xue Rui did not hang any sign, but just posted a QR code for downloading software in front of the watermelon stall.

Attracting popularity is not a problem at all. There is no need to hang banners in places where freshmen gather. Juicy watermelons placed here are living advertisements.

After basking in the scorching sun, the students were treated to a sip of water, not to mention that there was a watermelon stall in the corner, which was owned by the school.

"How much are the watermelons?" asked the student in military training uniform.

"We don't sell melons." Xue Rui waved his hand and pointed to the QR code in front of him: "Beauty, download the software, register an account, and send a selfie, and I'll give you a melon."

The female student looked at Xue Rui suspiciously: "A watermelon costs a lot of money, and you only need to send a photo?"

Xue Rui nodded seriously: "Don't cheat anyone, just post it like you normally would on QQ, just add a text and a photo."

Watermelons are not worth much at all. Outside, they are sold at 40 cents per pound. But it is different in school. The fruit shops in school are legally robbing people. It is common for them to make four or five times the amount...

"Universal Campus?" Someone also scanned the code and saw the name of the software.

Xue Rui smiled and nodded. He did not give the platform a name like “Confession Wall”. After all, he was running a comprehensive service platform. The word “universal” was quite popular at that time, after all, there was the “Universal WiFi Key”.

The Universal WiFi Key does not have the ability to crack. It mainly tricks users into downloading and registering, and then secretly uploads the WiFi information that the users have connected to to the server. As long as enough people download it, the scope of sharing the WiFi password will be large enough, truly achieving "Universal WiFi."

His software is similar. He does not have so much information about colleges and universities. Colleges and universities belong to closed social circles. As long as there are enough students from the same school joining in, there will always be senior students who share information with freshmen.

"Huh? I'm even asked to choose a school." The female student muttered while holding her phone.

In general, the registration process is very simple, and the interface is very clear and concise. You can post in the [Square] column with one click by clicking the "plus sign" below.

The female student held up her phone, pouted at the camera, took a beautiful selfie and sent it out.

She showed the phone to Xue Rui with some doubt.

Xue Rui decisively took out a big watermelon and gave it to the female student, making the female student and her companions laugh so hard that they couldn't stop.

Xue Rui thought that students these days were so naive that they took the initiative to post photos without him having to explain anything.

Firstly, it is the confidence in their own appearance. Secondly, at this time, students are less vigilant and do not pay much attention to the privacy of their portraits. If it is ten years later, it will not be so easy.

"Classmate, do you want me to help you cut it?" Lin Ruoxi asked the female classmate while wearing sunglasses.

"Cut it open."

The girl who got the watermelon was not stingy. After eating the watermelon herself, she shared the rest with the students around her. As a result, more and more people began to join the activity of "posting photos" to get watermelons.

Of course, most of them are girls who are confident about their looks, because students have discovered this during the registration process and are well aware that these photos will be seen by alumni from the same school.

The average-looking ones just downloaded the software silently, but Xue Rui still happily shared a piece of watermelon.

Secretary Li came over slowly on patrol at this time. He found that many students were eating melons and chatting in the shade where Xue Rui was.

"Yeah, not bad." He nodded. Xue Rui also placed a trash can nearby to throw away the watermelon rinds so as not to pollute the playground environment.

Xue Rui saw Secretary Li coming over, and he said to everyone: "By the way, if anyone finds something, you can take the initiative to submit it to the lost and found column, and we will also give you a watermelon."

"Is there such a thing? Do I need to hand that thing over?" someone asked doubtfully.

"No, just give it to the instructor or teacher. We are responsible for helping to share information, mainly to provide convenience for the students."

"This one is great, I'll get one too..."

Secretary Li looked at the shining machete in Lin Ruoxi's hand and frowned: "Keep the knife safe."

Xue Rui hurriedly walked around behind Lin Ruoxi and showed the iron chain behind the knife to Director Li. Of course, he had considered this and deliberately locked the knife to the freezer.

Secretary Li nodded with satisfaction. Xue Rui had considered everything very carefully.

While he was unpacking cigarettes in the office, he flipped through the documents handed in by Xue Rui. He felt that this young man was very creative and the platform he created could indeed provide convenience for students.

"Secretary, eat the melon." Xue Rui said as he was about to cut the melon for Secretary Li.

"No, no, I'll just come over to take a look." Secretary Li waved his hand and turned away from the crowd.

……

When the students gathered again, a new topic arose among the crowd: "Which girl is the prettiest?"

During the break, Xue Rui looked at the background of Lin Ruoxi's computer. The schools that he had previously arranged to distribute watermelons had all received many photos, most of which were of handsome men and beautiful women.

Of course, there are some people who are very confident about their looks, such as his roommate Zhao Chaojie...

But none of this matters. Instead, someone in the new work group he signed up yesterday said that there weren’t enough watermelons.

He called Yu Minlan and asked her to wholesale some more watermelons and have someone deliver them over.

It doesn’t matter even if someone takes away some watermelons for himself. It is an inevitable loss, as long as his goal is achieved.

Freshmen posting photos can attract senior students. Some singles are just waiting for the first batch of leeks when school starts. Now some freshmen are taking the initiative to upload photos on the universal campus, and it is as lively as a vegetable market.

In the blink of an eye, the sun moved directly above the sky.

By lunch time, Xue Rui's stall was crowded with people and all the watermelons were eaten up.

By the time the students rushed to the cafeteria to eat, most people on the playground had dispersed, and Xue Rui also planned to pack up his stall and leave.

Several Dogecoins from 622 are still waiting for him here. Ever since he knew that he was the one promoting the software, the way he looks at him seems strange.

"Old Xue, why don't you ask us for help?" Zhao Chaojie was so envious that his teeth were itching. He had already seen that Xue Rui was surrounded by girls!
Especially after downloading the software and looking at the photos, I felt even more itchy.

The APP also has a confession wall function, but individual users do not have the right to post. They need to contact the confession wall operator to submit their posts. However, there are too many girls around Xue Rui, and he thought that since it was Xue Rui who made the software, he, as a roommate, must have the priority to confess!

"Last night when we were chatting before bed, I told you that I wanted to start a business, but you didn't believe me." Xue Rui chuckled. These guys had to go to military training and couldn't help him.

"Rui, eat a bite of watermelon and take a rest for a while. I'll go buy you some food." Lin Ruoxi said with concern. She hid a watermelon in the corner of the freezer, which was specially chilled for Xue Rui.

She cut the watermelon, gave half to Xue Rui's roommate, and held the other half in her arms.

The little girl took a spoon and scooped a large piece of watermelon from the middle and put the watermelon to Xue Rui's mouth.

Xue Rui smiled and bit off half of it, muttering, "Eat it. You cut so many melons in the morning, so you must be the most tired."

The little girl shook her head slowly: "Well, you eat the middle and let me eat the rest."

“The one in the middle is the sweetest.”

Qian Huabiao covered his chest with his hands. How could it be sweet?
It's so sour!

"Let's go, let's go eat." Qian Huabiao rarely argued with Xue Rui.

He found out from the software that Xue Rui was recruiting operations staff in every school, so he had to get on good terms with Xue Rui so that he could get the operations staff.

As long as I get administrator privileges, wouldn’t I get the contact information of all the girls?

"By the way, Old Xue, take a look at the ones over at Jiaotong University." Qian Huabiao reminded in a low voice.

Xue Rui had a strange look on his face. How could Qian Huabiao have the nerve to bring up such a big issue?

However, he also admired Qian Huabiao for being able to discover the hidden function of his software in such a short time - it could be used to get information about any school.

In this way, content is no longer a problem. If there are not enough melons in your own school, you can go to nearby schools.

Moreover, because the user base is fixed and high-quality, it can be used to attract strangers to socialize and realize diversified monetization in the future...

"Old Qian is not simple." Xue Rui thought to himself that as a man who once had five relationships under his belt, his sense of smell was extremely sharp...

While eating in the cafeteria, Xue Rui was playing with the computer that Lin Ruoxi brought. He opened the school’s group and saw that many people were actively promoting his software.

After all, his software also has an activity called [Invite and Get Gifts]. As long as you accumulate a certain number of points by attracting new users, you can redeem gifts. The one with the highest points is the visual ear pick designed by Lin Ruoxi...

Anyway, they are all produced by our own factory and the cost is not high.

"What's going on at Jiaotong University?" He remembered Qian Huabiao's words and turned to the backstage of Jiaotong University. Sorting the photos from high to low according to the number of likes, the first photo that caught his eye was Gu Muxue's.

There are also a bunch of bootlickers leaving messages below.

[The schoolgirl is so pretty, what major is she in? ]

[The confession wall has not accepted my submissions, my QQ number is **…]

[Damn! What kind of rubbish software is this? Why is it blocking my QQ? ]

Another person replied: [Brother, don’t try it. I can’t send messages on WeChat. It seems to be a banned word. Be careful that your account will be blocked.]

[So the only place I can find is the confession wall? ]

……

Xue Rui sent a message to Gu Muxue: Muxue, did you send those photos?

Each school has separate backend permissions to manage the corresponding sections on campus.

He didn't let the girl do the promotion work, but gave her the backend authority of Jiaotong University to play with.

But the girl is the administrator, how could she let her photo be at the top of the list?
He opened the backstage postings on the confession wall and saw that it was crowded with people, at least half of them were there to confess their love to Gu Muxue!
Creditor: This was sent by my roommate. I was originally planning to delete it, but I saw that it could attract a lot of people to register, so I kept it for now.

Xue Rui: I deleted it for you.

Creditor: Xiao Rui, are you jealous? [grin] (End of this chapter)
