Chapter 43 School Beauty, Charge!

After hearing the news Xia Qing had gathered, Chen Nanxing nodded in agreement: "No wonder Yang Muye said that Senior Gu Jia's boyfriend is living off her because of his own abilities."

Xu Hongdou said quietly, "Judging from his tone, he seems quite envious."

Xia Qing: "??"

Chen Nanxing further analyzed: "Now I know where Yang Muyi's pervasive sense of relaxation comes from. He is clearly one of the best among his peers, yet he wants to lie down more than anyone else."

As he spoke, he looked at Xu Hongdou, and then at Xia Qing.

"Which of you two will go and subdue this monster?"

"roll!"

Xu Hongdou and Xia Qing said in unison.

After playing around, Xia Qing's expression suddenly turned serious.

"Red Bean, have you noticed that in the last two days, there has been a sudden increase in the number of people requesting to add you as a friend on the school's intranet?"

Chen Nanxing interjected first: "Isn't this normal before the start of school?"

Xu Hongdou crossed her arms, a thoughtful expression on her face.

"There are indeed quite a few; I noticed this problem yesterday."

Xia Qing nodded: "That's right. This is an application I found on the school's intranet today. You'll know what's going on once you take a look."

As she spoke, she turned the computer screen toward Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing.

When Yang Muyi returned from the hotel gym, he saw Wu Di sitting at Cheng Feng's desk, browsing the internet on Cheng Feng's Alienware laptop.

Cheng Feng stood to the side, looking like he had just woken up; he got out of bed without even putting on his pants.

"This is good!"

"I think this one is good too."

The two men's comments reached Yang Muye's ears.

As Yang Muye took off his shoes, he asked, "What are you two discussing?"

Wu Di stared intently at the computer screen: "Go, school beauty! I just found an app on the school's intranet, and we're voting for the girls in our school."

As Wu Di recounted the story, Yang Muye quickly understood what had happened.

It's an app for selecting the most beautiful girls at various universities. Each user has 4 votes, and you can get an extra vote by inviting a friend to vote.

Cheng Feng was woken up by Wu Di under these circumstances.

At first, he was very reluctant, but after Wu Di held the computer screen up to his face and looked at it for a moment, he immediately got out of bed.

After casting all four of his votes for the girl who came in first place, Cheng Feng turned to Yang Muyi and said with emotion, "I thought all the beauties in our business school were in Xia Qing's dorm, but I didn't expect there were still some who slipped through the net."

"Really? What's your name?"

"Zhu Suosuo".

"Zhu Suosuo?"

Yang Muyi, who was changing into slippers, looked up.

Upon seeing Yang Muye's expression, Cheng Feng seemed to realize something, and his expression changed accordingly.

"know?"

"I met her while jogging this morning, and she even treated me to breakfast."

Cheng Feng was struck dumb, standing there stunned.

Wu Di turned around from his computer at this moment: "Could it be someone with the same name?"

These words gave Cheng Feng a glimmer of hope.

"A freshman majoring in tourism management, living in dormitory 207, Building 5 of Haitang, from Shanghai, raised in a single-parent family, her father is a seaman who is away from home all year round... That's all I know for now, is it her?"

Hearing Yang Muyi recount the information he had painstakingly gathered, Cheng Feng was immediately dismayed.

He stared blankly at Yang Muye: "I'll get up early tomorrow and go for a run with you, is that still possible?" Yang Muye nodded: "Sure, but I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up."

"It's okay, I'll go buy some running gear during the day. If I can't catch up, I'll just consider it exercise."

Students with poor grades have a lot of stationery, right?
Yang Muyi kindly reminded Cheng Feng: "When I said you can't catch up, I meant it literally. If you're exhausted like a dog after running two laps, no matter how good your gear is, it won't help."

"And there's one more crucial point."

Wu Di also joined the persuasion team, and said to Cheng Feng with a very serious expression: "Whatever you do, don't run away with Mu Ye, otherwise you'll only be able to be a wingman."

Cheng Feng was speechless for a moment.

Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

"Never mind, I'll just increase the quantity first."

After climbing into bed, Cheng Feng took out his phone and started sending text messages.

Tonight he decided to invite a few more girls to a bar to soothe his wounded heart.

Yang Muyi changed his shoes and walked behind Wu Di: "Is Zhu Suosuo really that popular? Let me see where she ranks."

Wu Di shifted his body to the side and pointed at the computer screen.

"Currently ranked first."

"The top student in our college?"

"Number one in the entire school."

Yang Muye glanced at the list, and it really was true.

Zhu Suosuo currently has the most votes, Yang Zixi is third, Xia Qing is seventh, and Xu Hongdou... has actually fallen out of the top ten.

It ranks eleventh.

It seems I'm not the only one who thinks Xu Hongdou's bangs are really an eyesore.

The key point is that this ranking list includes not only our school's, but also those of the entire Yenching area and the whole country.

Yang Muyi asked Wu Di to open the national rankings.

As expected, the first place winner was none other than Qiao Jingjing, the campus belle of Southeast University who recently became an internet sensation.

"I feel that this ranking list is somewhat imitating 'Niu Le Ge Niu', or at least it was inspired by it."

Wu Di was being polite; in reality, it was a complete copy, even down to the method of getting an extra vote by inviting friends to vote.

The only difference is that it's free.

Moreover, there are no currently any profitable avenues to be explored.

The creators are either doing it out of interest or for the prize money.

Yang Muyi felt that the latter was more likely.

He suddenly discovered that "Campus Belle Rush Rush" was actually an entry in the Campus Network Innovative Programming Competition.

"Muye, do you think this 'Campus Belle Rush' has a chance to win an award?" Wu Di asked curiously.

After the "difficult decision" at Maqiushan went viral, it also made many people aware of the innovative programming competition being held on Renren.com.

"Facebook, the most popular social networking site abroad, was originally a website similar to 'Campus Beauty Rush' where you could rate girls. The other party went even further, hacking into the girls' dormitory management system and stealing photos of the girls for everyone to rate. As a result, this thing became so popular that it crashed Harvard's campus servers. Guess how the school dealt with it in the end?"

Looking at the stunned Wu Di, Yang Muyi continued, "The server crash is a minor issue. The real problem is that the other party violated the girl's portrait rights and privacy rights. Although the founder of Facebook removed those photos in time and apologized in the newspaper, he was still almost expelled from school."

so serious?

Before Wu Di could express his opinion, Yang Muye's voice rang out again.

"The show 'Campus Belle Rush' allowed people to vote without their consent. This not only violated the portraits and privacy of the girls on the list, but if it gets caught up in a controversy and labeled as objectifying women, the faster it becomes popular, the faster it will die."

Outside the half-closed dormitory door.

A boy raised his hand, ready to knock on the door, and then froze in mid-air.
