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

Lin Ran checked the time; there was still less than half an hour until the interview time agreed upon with Xie Chuyu.

"Alright, that's enough for today. Everyone, go and eat."

He planned to clear the venue to prevent these people from affecting his performance.

However, after he finished speaking, no one in the room moved.

"?" Lin Ran looked around. "Didn't you hear me? Let's go eat."

Tang Chen's eyes were incredibly sincere: "Boss, we'd also like to observe the interview process."

Ye Li chimed in, "Yes, yes, I've never seen a proper interview before."

"How did you know I was going to do an interview today..." Lin Ran stopped mid-sentence and looked at the figure who was shrinking his neck and hiding behind Zhuge Zhuangshi.

"Summer Cicadas!"

When the cicada was called out, it realized it couldn't escape and had no choice but to awkwardly stick its head out.

"Boss..."

"Did you talk too much again?"

"I was just trying to warm things up for you!" Xia Chan straightened her back and said confidently, "The boss is very eloquent; the interview is sure to be excellent, and we all want to learn from him!"

Lin Ran raised an eyebrow, about to speak.

Xia Chan quickly added, "Boss, have you forgotten that I also studied journalism? I promise to be quiet! And I can even help with on-site recording."

"Never mind," Lin Ran rubbed his temples, "Xia Chan stays, the rest of you..."

"Boss!" Ye Li raised her hand.

"explain."

"We're already late. The freshmen are so competitive with food, the cafeteria is absolutely packed at this time."

"Yes, it's one thing for them to take over the cafeteria, but they won't even leave us any food stalls at the school gate."

Lin Ran looked at the others suspiciously, and they all nodded vigorously.

He knew he couldn't get rid of them: "Fine, they can stay if they want, but don't cause any trouble later."

Everyone immediately expressed their full cooperation.

Half an hour later, Xie Chuyu, an intern reporter from Jiangning Youth Edition, arrived at 108 with a photographer.

Upon seeing a room full of people, she was slightly taken aback, but quickly regained her professional smile and politely greeted everyone.

Tang Chen and several other boys helped adjust the interview positions. Xia Chan sat in the corner and played the role of a recorder, while the others "happened" to stay at their workstations and acted as background figures.

"Lin Ran, let's begin." Xie Chuyu opened her notebook.

Lin Ran nodded.

"The first question, which is also what many people are curious about, is: as a freshman in college, why did you decide to create a social platform like 'Momo'?"

Lin Ran sat upright, a determined expression on his face.

"Our team's simplest wish is to provide a suitable platform for students who crave social interaction but lack the means to do so."

As soon as Lin Ran spoke, the few people who were pretending to be working couldn't help but purse their lips.

The boss was spouting another set of high-sounding nonsense. I should have just gone to the cafeteria and gotten some leftovers.

Lin Ran continued, "Simply put, we want to help with love, help with..."

Helping you find love?

The team members looked at each other in bewilderment.

Something's wrong, something's very wrong.

Two hours ago, the boss was banging on the table saying that it was good that Momo users couldn't find partners, so they could stay active on the app.

The boss turned on me way way too fast!

Xie Chuyu nodded frequently as she listened, seemingly quite satisfied with Lin Ran's sophisticated explanation.

"What did you consider to be the biggest challenge during the project's progress, and how did you overcome it?"

Lin Ran nodded slightly: "The challenges are undoubtedly multifaceted, including technical implementation, user experience..."

"But our team insisted on putting the user at the core, iterating rapidly, and spending countless late nights coding..."

Tang Chen's eyes darted around, recalling a late night tormented by a bug, when his boss was grumbling and swearing while holding a coffee can:

"User experience? Get it working first, then worry about the user experience! Don't go to sleep until this bug is fixed..."

He silently took off his glasses and began to wipe them.

"This online matching followed by offline meetings is a novel model. What impact do you think this will have on college students' views on relationships?"

Lin Ran said earnestly, "We encourage non-fast-food style relationships. This kind of experience helps our users develop a healthier and more positive view of relationships..."

Ye Li lowered her head, afraid that she would laugh out loud.

She remembered Lin Ran's exact words when he reviewed the situation with her.

"What I want is ambiguity and uncertainty! I don't care to hell whether someone's views on relationships are mature or not, as long as the data is mature, isn't that enough?"

The interview went very smoothly. Lin Ran had experienced countless interviews in his previous life, so this was a piece of cake for him.

After asking several questions, Xie Chuyu's evaluation of Lin Ran became increasingly positive.

This freshman, who still looks a bit green, is far superior to his peers in terms of speech, mannerisms, and demeanor. His answers about entrepreneurship and dreams come out almost effortlessly.

However... the employees of the Momo team all had rather strange expressions.

Some were frantically gulping down water, some were wiping their glasses for half an hour, some were silently facing the wall, and a big guy was staring blankly at the ceiling, contemplating life.

Fortunately, they were just background figures, and their actions weren't captured on camera.

"I want to thank the school and my entrepreneurial mentor, Wang Lijun. Without their help, there would be no Momo today." Lin Ran casually gave Wang Lijun a favor.

Finally, Xie Chuyu turned off the recorder with satisfaction: "Thank you, Lin Ran, for sharing today. Your sentiments and vision are truly impressive."

Lin Ran stood up and humbly shook hands with her: "Not at all, it was reporter Xie's question that led the conversation so well."

Xie Chuyu smiled and said goodbye to Lin Ran, saying that she was going to the South Campus to interview another student.

"How are you getting there?" Lin Ran asked casually.

"With so much equipment, it's inconvenient to take the bus; we'll have to take a taxi," Xie Chuyu said, pointing to the camera.

"Would you like me to give you a ride?" Lin Ran casually offered a polite suggestion.

"Really? Thank you so much!"

Xie Chuyu's eyes lit up, somewhat surprised that Lin Ran actually had a car.

Lin Ran: "..."

He was really just being polite!

The words have already been spoken; you can't take them back, can you? After all, it was his suggestion to give them the gifts; it wasn't their request.

Left with no other option, Lin Ran led the way and left, glaring at the group of guys in room 108 who were up to no good before he went out.

Ten minutes later, a BMW slowly drove up to the entrance of the startup base.

Lin Ran rolled down the car window and invited the two of them to get in.

Xie Chuyu and the photographer dutifully climbed into the back seat. As the car drove out of the school gate, her gaze swept over the passenger seat, and she suddenly asked:

"Lin Ran, where is your girlfriend from?"

Lin Ran was taken aback: "How did you figure out I have a girlfriend, senior?"

Xie Chuyu gestured towards a black hair tie with a bow on the passenger seat.
