I suggest you investigate; this person doesn't seem to be a first-time reborn individual.

Does Lin Ran like Xiao Manshu?

Sun Xiaoyu stared blankly at the message Zhao Feiyu had sent.

Then look at the photo on your phone of Lin Ran hugging a woman in yellow.

What's the story with the woman in that photo?

Sun Xiaoyu didn't have a good impression of Lin Ran. She had always been the kind of well-behaved student in the eyes of teachers, but Lin Ran was...

Regarding Lin Ran's campaign speech, I can only describe it with two words: flamboyant and domineering.

She actually felt very disdainful of Lin Ran's method of running for class monitor.

She wanted to give Lin Ran a difficult challenge.

Sun Xiaoyu glanced at Xiao Manshu, who was doing yoga, her eyes flashed, and she suddenly spoke:

"Manshu, what do you think of Lin Ran?"

Early the next morning.

The door to the counselor's office was ajar, and the rhythmic, slightly cold sound of keyboard typing could be heard from inside.

Lin Ran raised his hand and knocked on the door three times.

"Come in." The counselor Qin Ya's slightly cold voice came from inside.

Lin Ran pushed open the door and entered. Qin Ya was facing the computer, her hands moving non-stop, without looking up: "Wait a moment, it'll be ready soon."

Lin Ran stood quietly a few steps away from the desk, his gaze quickly sweeping across the office.

Neat and meticulous, the potted plants are all drought-resistant and easy to care for, and there are some photos of Qin Ya with several foreign professors hanging on the wall.

About two minutes later, Qin Ya stopped what she was doing, looked up at Lin Ran, and showed no small talk or enthusiasm for the student leader.

"Lin Ran?" She called out Lin Ran's name accurately.

"Hello, Teacher Qin, I'm Lin Ran."

Lin Ran was slightly surprised that Qin Ya could call him by name, but on the surface he maintained a proper attitude.

"I remember you." Qin Ya placed her hands on the table, leaned back slightly, and rested her head on the chair.

"Your speech at the class meeting...was very insightful. What do you need me for?"

Impressive? Lin Ran was slightly taken aback; he was unaware that Qin Ya had overheard his entire campaign speech.

"I have some thoughts I'd like to share with you," Lin Ran said earnestly.

"Thoughts?" Qin Ya repeated, a playful smile playing on her lips.

"Specifically, in what aspect? Is it about more effectively covering up students' absences? Or optimizing the process of forging leave slips?"

Lin Ran's composure froze instantly. Even though he was thick-skinned, he felt a little embarrassed now.

However, he reacted very quickly, and the slight embarrassment was suppressed in an instant.

Considering Qin Ya's status as a returned overseas student, he abandoned all the prepared remarks and used a different one instead.

After a moment's hesitation, Lin Ran slowly spoke.

"I have a product proposal for social networking for college students, and I would like to get guidance and support from Dean Wang, the college leader. I hope Teacher Qin can help me make an introduction."

When the conversation turned to business, Qin Ya leaned forward slightly.

"Squad Leader Lin, your credibility with me is now negative. You can go to Dean Wang yourself."

"Of course, I can introduce you as you suggested, but in any case, I still hope you can give me an explanation."

Lin Ran stared into her eyes and remained silent for a few seconds.

"The reason I'm asking you for a referral is to obtain the opportunity to receive guidance from Dean Wang in the most efficient and compliant way. Most importantly, there's a startup competition defense this afternoon, and I'd like to attend as an observer."

Qin Ya shook her head: "You know that's not what I want to hear."

Lin Ran naturally knew what she wanted to hear, and the reason she said all this was simply to introduce the following point of view.

"My core goal in the class meeting was to win the election within five minutes without any popular support. This was simply finding the optimal solution in a specific situation."

Lin Ran's words struck a chord with Qin Ya.

As a university teacher who has received both Chinese and Western education, she has never preferred students who are obedient and conformist, but rather those with strong adaptability and problem-solving instincts.

She greatly admired Lin Ran's style of not worrying about whether the attitude was good or bad, but only pursuing whether the solution was effective.

After leaving Wang Lijun's office, Lin Ran's expression was rather unpleasant.

It wasn't that they failed to persuade Wang Lijun; on the contrary, things went too smoothly.

Wang Lijun barely listened to his carefully prepared speech, but readily agreed after he explained his purpose.

In fact, most university professors would be happy to lend a hand to a student like Lin Ran, who is proactive in seeking advancement and whose request is nothing more than a small favor.

Lin Ran felt like he had been tricked, tricked by Li Jinhui.

If he had gone to the university he attended in Shanghai in his previous life, he would have known the character of all the teachers. How could this situation have occurred?

He couldn't criticize Li Jinhui yet, since he had only offered a possible solution.

Just as he walked out of Wang Lijun's office with a gloomy face, a girl came towards him.

It is very tall, about 1.78 meters, with a slender figure, like a tall bamboo.

He has short hair, a neat and stylish hairstyle, clear and three-dimensional facial features, a heroic appearance, and fair skin.

She strode toward Wang Lijun's office and knocked on the open door.

"Hello Dean Wang, I am Shen Weiyang."

Lin Ran felt that the name sounded familiar.

"He is the newly elected president of the school's student council."

Lin Ran paused slightly, realizing who this person was—Huang Lingyue's affair partner from her past life.

-----------------

The atmosphere at the Jiangning University Entrepreneurship Competition defense was quite subtle.

Half of it is the carefully packaged dreams of students in the ivory tower, and the other half is the helplessness of young people facing the real challenges of the world.

Lin Ran sat in the back row, looking at the students' flashy PowerPoint presentations and grand slogans on stage.

"Building a platform", "Disrupting the industry", "Constructing an ecosystem"...

He shook his head, feeling like he was tired of hearing it.

In fact, the quality of the entrepreneurship competition at Jiangning University is far higher than that of other universities.

However, as someone who was reborn from the future, Lin Ran believed that most of these projects were impossible to implement, and even if they were to be implemented, they would not last long.

In the center of the judges' panel, several judges, including Wang Lijun, frowned.

What are the core technological barriers to your project?

"The idea is good, but how will this project generate profit?"

"How do you acquire users? Why should users listen to you?"

Many teams have been exposed for their shortcomings in the face of these issues.

At this moment, a boy named Tang Chen caught Lin Ran's attention.

He was dressed simply, and his white shirt was slightly yellowed from washing.

But in his hand he was holding a Lenovo W series workstation laptop, the same model as Lin Ran's, which cost nearly 20,000 yuan.

Tang Chen's team was working on a so-called "campus information integration platform," and the speaker made it sound incredibly impressive.

"Semantic analysis is extremely costly in handling ambiguity in Chinese. How do you solve this problem?"

When one of the judges asked a crucial question, the speaker froze, stammering and unable to speak.

"Distinguished judges, this is what we think."

Tang Chen took the microphone, her voice tinged with nervousness, but she tried her best to remain calm.
