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

As they talked, the two found an inconspicuous corner at the back of the auditorium and sat down.

At this moment, Mr. Li, the grade director with hardly any hair on his head, walked up to the podium, habitually pulled up his slipping waistband, re-fastened his belt to his beer belly, and patted the microphone.

The noisy auditorium immediately fell silent.

"Hello everyone. First of all, on behalf of the school, I would like to congratulate each and every one of you on successfully crossing the single-plank bridge of the college entrance examination and embarking on the next stage of your lives!"

A cheer and applause immediately erupted from the audience.

The grade head pressed his hands down, signaling for quiet.

"You have studied diligently for twelve years, and now it is finally time to reap the rewards."

"However," the head of the grade changed the subject, "facing thousands of universities and hundreds of majors across the country, I believe that most students, while happy, are also confused."

"How to make the most of your scores and how to match them with more ideal schools and majors requires not only wisdom but also the experience of those who have gone before."

"Therefore, the school has specially invited your seniors today. They are from different cities, different schools, and different majors. They are here today to answer your questions one by one. Let's give them a round of applause!"

Polite and expectant applause rang out again from the audience.

The first person to go on stage was a girl, who wasn't particularly pretty. She was wearing a white shirt and a black skirt, with her hair styled in a neat ponytail, looking every bit the urban professional woman, except that her makeup looked a bit heavy.

"Hello everyone, my name is Chen Yao. I come from Jiangdong University of Science and Technology. My major is Business Administration, and I am currently a junior."

Wow! A 985 university!

"This senior is amazing! Our school probably only gets a few students admitted to 985 universities each year, right?"

A murmur of whispers suddenly arose. Chen Yao, standing on the stage, looked down at the young faces below, basking in their gazes that were filled with envy, jealousy, or even admiration.

Sitting in the corner, Lin Ran's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and he stared at Chen Yao with a strange look, as if he was carefully trying to identify something.

The next second, three words came out, tinged with disbelief.

"The woman who secretly took photos?"

"What 'Sister Chen Yao'?" Wang Zihao turned to Lin Ran suspiciously and asked, "Brother Ran, do you know that senior, Chen Yao?"

Lin Ran shook his head and remained silent.

His voice wasn't loud, but Chen Yao, standing on the stage, was exceptionally perceptive in catching the words "secretly filming."

Her body suddenly stiffened, and she subtly scanned the direction from which the sound was coming, but because Lin Ran was sitting in the corner, she did not notice him.

Chen Yao breathed a sigh of relief, secretly comforting herself that she must have misheard. She readjusted her mindset and continued speaking:

"Jiangdong University of Science and Technology, where I studied, is one of only two 985 universities in Jiangdong Province. It has provided me with three valuable assets: First, top-notch faculty..."

"Speaking of business administration, it taught me not only knowledge of business management, but more importantly, a systematic approach to management and decision-making. From marketing to human resources, from financial management to strategic planning, these courses..."

After listening to Chen Yao's speech, Lin Ran couldn't help but roll her eyes. It turned out that in the past half hour, she hadn't talked about college application at all, but had just created the persona of a successful senior.

The following speeches covered a wide range of topics, from those who, like Chen Yao, were creating a persona, to those who offered serious advice on filling out college applications, and even those who promoted their own schools to attract students.

Listening to these remarks that he found meaningless, Lin Ran swayed and slumped onto the table, falling asleep.

Lin Ran was woken up by Wang Zihao. Lin Ran lay on the table without looking up, waving his hand to indicate that he should not be disturbed. In his dream, he was still in a high-end private club, surrounded by women.

Wang Zihao whispered in his ear, "Brother Ran, Huang Lingyue is here to see you again."

"Lin Ran, which university do you want to apply to?" A clear voice rang out, finally waking Lin Ran up.

Lin Ran groggily opened his eyes and saw several somewhat familiar strangers surrounding him, who he guessed were his high school classmates.

Lin Ran was always the top student in his class throughout high school, so it's not surprising that he became the focus of attention during the college application season.

Lin Ran's gaze locked onto the tall girl standing in front of him. She wore a simple white shirt and straight-leg jeans, but on her, it exuded a sophisticated and aloof aura. A simple black hair tie was her only accessory.

Lin Ran's eyes suddenly lit up as he carefully examined Huang Lingyue.

Starting from her meticulously styled high ponytail, the path leads down her smooth forehead and defined, beautiful jawline.

His gaze lingered briefly on her bright yet slightly aggressive face, then swept over her long, white neck, and finally settled unabashedly on her full breasts.

Huang Lingyue always had a faint sense of aloofness when facing others, just like a proud white swan, but when she looked at Lin Ran, she did not hide the burning passion in her eyes.

It must be admitted that Huang Lingyue is really beautiful. Even though Lin Ran has seen countless people, Huang Lingyue would definitely rank in the top three in terms of looks among the women he has ever met.

He couldn't help but sigh at how well he ate when he was young, and wondered how he had been able to bear rejecting Huang Lingyue's advances.

Huang Lingyue noticed Lin Ran's slightly aggressive gaze, and her pretty face flushed slightly.

But the intensity in her eyes as she looked at Lin Ran was even greater, and her chest thrust forward towards Lin Ran once again amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd.

She was confident in her appearance, after all, she was never short of suitors who showed her affection, but she just liked Lin Ran. The more Lin Ran rejected her, the more she liked him.

But Lin Ran knew that this woman was a completely different person before and after she got the man she liked.

"Lin Ran, which university do you want to apply to?"

Huang Lingyue thought Lin Ran hadn't understood her question, so she asked it again.

"I haven't decided yet, I'll just find a 985 university to study at."

Lin Ran gave a perfunctory reply.

Lin Ran wasn't exaggerating. With his scores, he could basically choose any of the other 985 universities in China, except for the top few.

"Jiangning University or Jiangdong University of Science and Technology?" Huang Lingyue continued to ask.

Jiangning University and Jiangdong University of Science and Technology are two 985 universities in the province, both located in Jiangning City, the capital of Jiangdong Province.

Before Lin Ran could reply, a bespectacled boy suddenly appeared and interrupted their conversation.

"Wow, what a boastful tone! You think you can just pick any 985 university? Lin Ran, while your grades are good, you're exaggerating a bit too much, aren't you?"

The bespectacled man was already jealous when he saw Huang Lingyue take the initiative to talk to Lin Ran, so he stepped in and separated the two of them.

Huang Lingyue, standing behind him, frowned slightly in displeasure but remained silent.

Lin Ran looked closely but couldn't remember who the person was. Just as he was about to ask Wang Zihao, Wang Zihao moved first.
