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

"Boss, what's my first task?"

Go and recruit two people for me.

Xia Chan's eyes widened: "Didn't you say you'd let me do the recruitment later?"

Lin Ran remained unfazed: "Xia, this shows your lack of awareness."

"If I make you run errands for six months straight, you'll be stuck as an errand boy forever."

"Now that I'm entrusting you with such an important task as recruitment, it's not just a challenge, but also a tremendous opportunity to hone your skills!"

Xia Chan's expression shifted from confusion to realization, then to being moved, and finally to determination, her eyes shining.

"Boss! I understand!"

"You're asking me to recruit our company's future right-hand men; the people I recruit will naturally acknowledge me as their boss!"

"Once the company grows big, my position as a veteran will be rock solid!"

"Boss, you're letting me establish my own leadership and build my own team. That's what it means to truly groom me as a trusted confidant!"

"With such high expectations and trust, if I, Xia Chan, were to hesitate, I wouldn't be worthy to fight alongside you in this revolution!"

Lin Ran stared blankly at her eyes, which were filled with a sense of mission. Was that what I meant?

Why does this girl seem a bit off? Who whips themselves before pulling a millstone?

Am I that talented at making empty promises?

In the evening, Lin Ran and his team gathered together again.

Tang Chen looked at the book Lin Ran had thrown at him and the webpage that was open on his laptop with some confusion.

"MBTI?"

"Boss, what is this?"

Ye Li raised her hand: "I know! It's a personality test. I took an elective class where the teacher gave us one."

"Personality test? We're a social networking app developer, if we integrate this... wouldn't users find it too troublesome and churn because they have to take this test before registering?"

Ye Li's eyes lit up: "I think it's promising! Young people these days love taking tests; even those 'find what animal you were in your past life' tests on QQ Space get tons of clicks. MBTI is even more advanced!"

After the two finished speaking, Lin Ran slowly opened his mouth.

"It is a bit troublesome, but it is both a threshold and a means of screening users."

"The biggest pain point of social networking with strangers is uncertainty. So by using scientific labels like MBTI, users can feel that the people they are matched with have been screened, making it easier to develop a sense of identification and security."

Accurate matching is only one of the reasons; there are two other more important reasons, which Lin Ran did not reveal.

First, it introduces the next product. How could he only focus on the social networking field? From the start of Momo, he had a whole set of moves to make.

Second, and most importantly, is the data.

At this stage, all entrepreneurs view apps as software tools.

Only Lin Ran knew that it would be five years later before people gradually realized the importance of data.

He wants to embed all the data anchors needed for big data and algorithms over the next five years into user registration and usage paths: user information, preferences, geographical location, social relationships, etc. All functions must serve data collection.

While others are still working on features, he wants to take the lead in developing the future data network.

Tang Chen pondered for a moment: "Boss, do you mean this social media app should give everyone a label, like a game, with a general positioning?"

Lin Ran nodded.

"I understand. I'll go and research how to make the MBTI interface more lightweight."

Ye Li immediately responded, "Then I'll go and brainstorm some user tags, like whether they like cats or dogs, what kind of music they like..."

She paused, then added, "Oh, right, the format of the questions also needs to be changed. For example, should it be a choice between a mini-game or cards? We can't let users feel like they're being interrogated..."

Lin Ran nodded in satisfaction. It was more important for the team to understand his strategic intentions than simply executing orders.

The next morning, Monday.

The freshmen, who had enjoyed two days of vacation, returned to the military training field, all sighing and complaining.

"Fourth brother, why do I feel like that girl over there keeps staring at you?" Ding Facai's voice was tinged with displeasure.

Lin Ran was taken aback: "Where?"

Following the direction Ding Facai was pointing, he saw several girls, including Xiao Manshu, secretly glancing at him and pointing at him from time to time.

No, they're walking this way.

Xiao Manshu was a little annoyed. These past few days, people had been comparing her to Zhong Chuyun, some saying this one was prettier, others saying that one was prettier.

Are you kidding me? What makes Zhong Chuyun think she can compare to me? With her flat figure?

There's a saying, isn't there? "Those who approach others with arrogance are actually wicked and greedy."

Xiao Manshu felt that she was definitely superior to Zhong Chuyun.

I recently learned from Sun Xiaoyu that Lin Ran likes her. Although I haven't had any in-depth conversations with Lin Ran, I think he at least has good taste.

Thinking about Lin Ran more carefully, he is tall and fair-skinned, and quite handsome. He seems to be a rich second-generation, and he even said he would treat the whole class to a trip.

She didn't mind having more fish in the pond; if she could win over Class Monitor Lin, her position as the class beauty would be secure.

"Class monitor, have you noticed we're wearing matching outfits today?"

Lin Ran looked down at his military training uniform, his brows furrowed into a tight knot.

Did this girl forget to take her medicine today?

"What is it?"

Xiao Manshu took out a bottle of water, twisted the cap but didn't open it, and handed it to Lin Ran.

"Class monitor, I can't open it."

Lin Ran took it, opened it easily, and took a big gulp.

"You..." Xiao Manshu's eyes widened.

"What?" Lin Ran wiped his mouth. "It's not for me?"

Xiao Manshu gave a coquettish smile, took the water bottle with the cap still undone from Lin Ran's hand, took a sip herself, and then licked the water stains off her red lips towards Lin Ran.

Ding Facai and the others sitting to the side were all stunned.

"shameless!"

Zhong Chuyun arrived at the scene at some unknown time and happened to witness this moment.

"Who are you talking about, the one surnamed Zhong?"

"I'm calling out whoever is shameless."

"Yes, yes, you're amazing. You have some self-respect. Even outstanding people have an A cup size."

……

Lin Ran raised an eyebrow, roughly understanding what was going on, but he didn't intervene.

If he had to mediate every little conflict among the thirty-odd girls in the class, he wouldn't be able to do anything else.

As the situation escalated, it began to show signs of getting out of control.

Lin Ran frowned, about to speak, when he was suddenly interrupted by a commotion.

The disturbance was started by the civil engineering team next door, because an incredibly eye-catching and beautiful young woman walked towards them.

Entering the civil engineering major is like entering a monastery; there isn't a single female mosquito around. When they see such a beautiful girl walking by, they all stare wide-eyed.

The same oversized military training uniform fit her perfectly, accentuating her curves. A high, jet-black ponytail cascaded neatly over her shoulder, and her eyebrows, like ink paintings, slanted upwards towards her temples.

The only downside is that her expression is a bit cold, giving off a "keep away" vibe.

The two arguing women were also drawn by the commotion and looked at the figure walking in their direction, somewhat confused.

The three girls in dormitory 508 exchanged glances and recognized her as the girl in the photo. They all cursed the person who took the photo.

He looks even better in person than in photos, damn!

Lin Ran's gaze was drawn by the commotion. When he saw the figure, his eyes lit up, and he waved at the figure.

Huang Lingyue was carrying an exquisite kraft paper bag, which contained the mung bean soup she had specially prepared for Lin Ran the night before.

She's been in a good mood these past two days. Ever since she had dinner with Lin Ran last time, Lin Ran hasn't been so cold towards her anymore, and he's been responding to her messages every time she sends them.

She had already ticked "normalized communication" on her notebook, feeling that the day she could win over Lin Ran was not far off.

Seeing Lin Ran waving, she quickened her pace.

Everyone's eyes followed her steps; the surroundings were very quiet.

Ignoring the stares of the crowd, Huang Lingyue walked step by step to Lin Ran in full view of everyone.

Seeing two fairly good-looking girls standing in front of Lin Ran, she frowned slightly, her stubbornness returning, her eyes filled with frost.

For a moment, everyone was affected by Huang Lingyue's aura, and the surroundings became eerily quiet.

She didn't speak immediately, but instead gave the two women a cold look, which made them feel a chill run down their spines.

The girl in front of them was far more beautiful and had a better figure than any of them. They suddenly realized that everything they were so proud of was a joke in front of this icy girl.

Seeing that the two women were still in a standoff, she turned her head to look at Lin Ran.

Lin Ran chuckled at everyone's reactions.

He thought to himself, "When Huang Lingyue unleashed her aura, even he could feel the pressure. How could you bunch of ugly and grotesque people think you could cause such a ruckus?"

Huang Lingyue spoke softly, breaking the silence.

"Here to cause you trouble?"
