I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.

Everyone on site was doing their job; there was no need for Shen Kang, the boss.

Shen Kang, being quite self-aware, took He Qiuzhu and tried to sneak over to Ma Liang's place to play cards, but everyone in the room kept glancing their way over.

Of course, they weren't looking at Shen Kang, but rather at He Qiuzhu who was standing next to him.

Those who recognized He Qiuzhu glanced at her and then looked away. But there were many others who didn't know He Qiuzhu before and were seeing her for the first time today.

He Qiuzhu's appearance shocked many people, who stared at her blankly for a while until a hand reached out from the side, "Hey, stop staring, get to work!"

The person who had been staring in disbelief finally snapped out of it and turned to ask the person next to them, "Who is that girl?"

The man replied, "The boss's girlfriend is named He Qiuzhu."

The man was shocked: "The boss's girlfriend?! No, what right does the boss have?!"

The man was also puzzled: "I don't know either, maybe it's just good luck? I heard that the boss's family has a thermal generator hidden in their ancestral grave, and it's been emitting smoke all the time."

"What the heck is going on?... "

Such surprises and introductions occurred in every corner of 211.

Even the two guest teachers who came to participate in the program were amazed by the girl's beauty.

"What a beautiful girl."

Yu Jinping sighed softly.

This is a man in his thirties, not yet forty, who seems to be in his prime.

After sighing, Yu Jinping laughed and said, "With such a beautiful girl, there's bound to be fierce competition at Yangko University of Science and Technology these next few years."

There was also a hint of amusement in his tone.

Lan Lan, a woman in her forties with a gentle demeanor, chuckled upon hearing Yu Jinping's words: "Teacher Yu, you're exaggerating. Besides, with a boyfriend like that protecting her, she probably won't cause much of a stir..."

Jin Boye stared at He Qiuzhu for a long while before finally looking away, feeling regretful—why didn't he meet this junior sooner?

The moment he saw this female student, his heart skipped a beat; he felt like he had fallen in love at first sight.

Unfortunately, she already has a boyfriend, and that boyfriend is Shen Kang.

After joining the "If You Are the One" program, Jin Bo learned more about Shen Kang and thus knew how much his junior had accomplished.

Compared to Shen Kang, Jin Bo had no confidence in competing and could only sigh with regret.

Meanwhile, Shen Kang had already brought He Qiuzhu to Ma Liang and the others.

"Count me in."

Shen Kang unceremoniously pulled over a chair, squeezing out a space between the three of them. He then pulled over another chair and placed it behind him.

He Qiuzhu sat down on the chair and leaned closer to Shen Kang, who was sitting in front of her, almost as if she were snuggling up to him.

Ma Liang tossed his hair. "How can four people play cards?"

"Same here. Do you have any more cards? Bring another deck. We'll play Dou Dizhu with two decks for four players."

"Do you want to play for money?"

"Ma Liang, you're really brave. There are two teachers right here. Here, stick a note on me."

Ma Liang said with some regret, "Alright, then let's stick the note on it."

They brought over another deck of cards, and the group started playing.

Meanwhile, the others continued to perform their respective duties, making final preparations.

Meanwhile, as the game of cards progressed, He Qiuzhu, sitting behind Shen Kang, leaned closer and closer to him. Before she knew it, she was completely pressed against Shen Kang's back, her little head resting on his shoulder. Her beautiful eyes glanced around nervously, and only after confirming that no one had noticed, especially Shen Kang, did she relax and continue resting her head on his shoulder.

Shen Kang was focused on playing cards and knew nothing. He would occasionally blow a breath silently to brush away the strands of He Qiuzhu's hair that had drifted in front of his nose, thinking to himself, "This kid is getting bolder and bolder..."

Time flew by, and soon it was 7:30.

According to their plan, "If You Are the One" had actually already started at this point; they were checking the online status of the participants and preparing for the broadcast.

Hearing the greeting from the other side, Ma Liang regretfully threw down this good hand, "Let's stop here and get to work." With that, he tore off the two pieces of paper from his face.

The other two techniques were similar; they only had a few strips of paper on their faces, and after tearing off the paper, they would follow Ma Liang to work.

Shen Kang had the most paper strips on his face, covering it completely. At first glance, he looked just like a ghost.

There was nothing he could do. He Qiuzhu was right against his back, and the gentle feeling and the constant fragrance wafting from her nose made it impossible for him to concentrate on his cards. He was completely confused, playing whatever he had in his hand, no wonder he lost.

Now that the time was up, although he was very reluctant, he could only stand up, tear off the paper strips from his face, and go over to supervise their work.

The first season of "If You Are the One" is about to premiere.

……

At the same time, Yangcheng Business School, Entrepreneurship Base 305 was also brightly lit, where Zheng Changhao, Wei Mingrui, and Li Xian were all present.

As Wei Mingrui said, the technical issues are difficult to resolve and cannot be addressed in a short time. Therefore, the launch date for the Yangbei Forum's replica of "If You Are the One" is still uncertain.

However, now that the Beiming Community's "If You Are the One" dating show has been launched, they naturally want to come and take a look.

First, to see how well the program goes and whether people like it. Second, to see how Shen Kang specifically produces the program, so they can copy the corresponding program on their Yangbei Forum later…

Meanwhile, under the night sky of Yangcheng, in a three-bedroom apartment in an upscale residential complex, a man who had just finished showering was coming to the study in his pajamas.

The man was in his thirties, with permed, slightly curly hair, a fairly well-proportioned figure, but a somewhat plump face.

This person is Wang Tao, the head of the market research team at "Jindak".

There is a computer on the desk in his study.

As soon as Wang Tao sat down at the computer, his phone, which was on the table, rang.

The caller was from the company. After answering, Wang Tao chatted with the other party about business.

After chatting for about five minutes, Wang Tao hung up the phone, looked at the computer screen in front of him, and planned to relax by typing for a while.

I just happened to glance at the date and time in the lower right corner of the computer screen, and suddenly an idea struck me.

He thought of something, something the other party had casually mentioned in the phone call just now—the "Young Master GG" incident a few days ago.

The so-called "Young Master GG" incident refers to the fact that the son of the big boss of Jindak came to the company a few days ago with a group of people, saying that his friend had set up a website and wanted to hold an event on it, and needed GG as a sponsor.

"Shen Kang is very capable. This website and this event he created will definitely be a great success, and the Google Ads fee is low. It's a win-win situation! I beat out several competitors to get this Google Ads slot..."

The boss's son, Tong Enkang, was praising his friend Shen Kang to the skies in front of them, saying he was unparalleled. He also boasted about the huge profits that this guy was about to make.

However, after Wang Tao and his team looked at the other party's website and event plan on the spot, they gained a thorough understanding of the matter.

That website was too small; it was just a campus forum. Not to mention the entire Yangcheng district, even in Beilu district, that website wasn't the biggest; there was a much larger competitor. So, that website really didn't inspire any desire in them to give up.

But this is the young master's friend, and the young master himself came to tell him.

Moreover, the other party doesn't ask for much, only 86,000 a year.

This amount was far too small to be significant compared to Kingdark's annual marketing budget, so they ultimately gave the young master face and reached an agreement with the website to advertise GG on their site.

"I remember, the documents submitted to us said it would start broadcasting at 8 PM tonight, right?... "

Wang Tao thought for a while. Juechuan could cut every day, so there was no rush. He might as well check out that website first.

However, he wasn't particularly interested in the website's activities; he simply wanted to learn more about it.

"That way, if I run into Tong Enkang in the future, I'll have something to talk about. And if others haven't seen the show, and only I have, and Tong Enkang has noticed..."

Wang Tao's eyes flickered for a moment. He opened his email, found the website address in the files, and prepared to watch the whole thing, hoping to have a chance to curry favor with the young master—opportunities for advancement are hidden in such small details.

Wang Tao thought for a moment, found the website address, entered it, and entered the website.

It's only a little past 7:50, not even 8 o'clock yet.

Wang Tao also used this time to quickly familiarize himself with the website and even registered an account.

After everything was ready, eight o'clock finally arrived.

After refreshing the page, Wang Tao also saw a banner-style entrance to the "If You Are the One" section at the very top of the plaza area.

After clicking, you are redirected to a new page.

This new page is somewhat similar to the homepage of the Beiming Community, also divided into three columns: left, center, and right.

However, unlike the homepage, clicking on this middle section won't lead to a new page; you can only view it from the current page. Furthermore, this middle section is divided into two roughly equal parts, one above the other.

The top half of the middle column is currently empty; there's nothing there.

The bottom half shows that something has already appeared.

"You can type."

"How do you play with this thing?"

……

In the bottom half, lines of text kept emerging from below, rolling upwards line by line.

Wang Tao looked again and then noticed that there was an input box at the very bottom of the middle column.

He tried typing "I'll give it a try" and sent it.

His sentence appeared in the lower part of the middle column, pushing all the sentences above it upwards. Then, a new sentence popped up below Wang Tao's sentence, pushing all the sentences above it upwards again.

On the right side of this section, there is a slider. Wang Tao can click on the slider and pull it up to see what those people have said before.

"This is a live message board."

Wang Tao recognized what it was.

Afterward, Wang Tao began to study the other parts.

First, the top part of the middle column is still empty and you can't see anything.

Then Wang Tao looked at the column on the right.

The right-hand column has more items; there are 12 profile pictures in total, arranged in two columns of six. Below each profile picture is its corresponding username. To the left of each profile picture are numbers from 1 to 12.

Wang Tao had also read the program's brochure, and upon seeing the avatars and usernames that were clearly female, he knew that the 12 avatars on the right were those of the 12 girls from the first episode.

In addition to the nickname and numerical identifier, each girl's profile picture also has a red dot to the right.

"According to the brochure, this dot is the 'lamp.' The current red color should indicate that the lamp is on, while the gray color indicates that the lamp is off."

Having read the introductory book before, Wang Tao knew quite a lot.

However, many of the users who have already flooded in at this moment do not know that much.

Their thoughts were typed out and appeared in the lower half of the middle column, scrolling upwards continuously.

"I see that this section should be a place for us, the audience, to speak and discuss."

"That's fantastic! I thought we could only watch and not speak, but it turns out we can talk too!"

"Li Rui is an idiot, Li Rui is an idiot, Li Rui is an idiot."

"Are those the 12 girls who participated in this round in that column on the right?"

I think so.

"But what is that red dot to the right of their profile pictures?"

"have no idea."

Upon seeing this, Wang Tao suddenly moved his hand, typed in the input box, and sent it out.

"The red dot on the right is the 'light.' This program uses the terms 'light on' and 'light off.' Red means it's on, and gray means it's off. At the beginning, everyone is assumed to have their lights on, but they can choose to turn them off during the program. Only those who keep their lights on until the end have a chance to complete the sale of secondhand items."

The lower half of the middle column, where the words that popped up weren't scrolling up very fast, was still pretty much non-stop.

However, after Wang Tao posted this message, the scrolling in the lower half of the middle column temporarily stopped. Everyone seemed to be looking at what he posted, and no one commented.

After a while, new content appeared.

"Wow, bro, you're an insider, right? You know so much."

Wang Tao typed back.

"I'm not an insider; I just know a friend, and I heard about it from them."

New comments kept emerging from below.

"Generally speaking, this kind of 'friend' is yourself."

"That's right, that's right."

"Haha, I've discovered that this thing is actually pretty good. It's like a chat room, where you can chat with everyone in real time."

"No, guys, 'Little Bear Sauce' is in the next column too! She's one of the girls participating in today's show! I'm devastated! What if she meets a guy here and then they meet in person? No way! Yay!"

"Who is Little Bear-chan?"

"Same question, who is Little Bear-chan?"

"Are they all newbies? You don't even know Little Bear? She's a famous female bodhisattva on this site, she teaches yoga, and her figure is... wow..."

"If I plagiarized, then I have to pay close attention to me!"

Seeing this, Wang Tao looked to the right and sure enough, he saw Little Bear Sauce's username in the second position of the first column.

Female college student, teaching yoga...

Wang Tao thought for a moment, picked up the mouse, and tried clicking on the little bear's avatar in the right column.

After he clicked that, a small box popped up at the mouse cursor's location with several options, including "Follow" and "Go to Homepage."

Wang Tao first clicked "Follow" to follow Xiaoxiongjiang, then clicked on Xiaoxiongjiang's profile picture, and after the small box appeared, clicked "Enter Homepage" at the top.

This time, instead of being redirected to a new page, a new webpage was automatically opened, and the content of this new webpage was also Beiming Community, which was this Little Bear's personal homepage.

Wang Tao had already studied it for a while and understood many of the operations on the Beiming Community.

So he immediately found the other party's posting history on this little bear's personal homepage, and then, judging from the title and content, clicked into one of the posts.

Sure enough, just like those people said, this Little Bear is really a bodhisattva. Her posts are full of photos of her doing yoga. She has a great figure, is very pretty, and has a pure and innocent look, giving off a first love vibe.

Wang Tao slowly scrolled down, admiring one photo after another, and then clicked on a new post to read.

However, unlike those college students, Wang Tao had other thoughts on his mind while watching.

This girl is really great! She's beautiful and has a lovely figure, and she's a college student. Perfect timing! I'm in my thirties and still single...

After reading for a while, Wang Tao silently closed the post and began to ponder.

The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

Maybe I can actually chat with this girl first, get to know her better, and then go see her, buy her more things, take her out to eat or something. Maybe the two of us will have a chance to get together in the future, or even get married?

Men are very loyal; no matter how old they are, they all prefer women who are eighteen.

The same applies to Wang Tao.

Wang Tao had always wanted to find a female college student to date, and even marry, but his social circle was very small, and there were no female college students in it, so he had never been able to fulfill his wish.

Now, it seems there's a channel available.

While Wang Tao was thinking about these things, many people in the If You Are the One section were quietly following Xiaoxiongjiang.

Little Bear's follower count slowly began to rise.
