Chapter 140
Born Again: A Journey of Love Rediscovered Novel Chapter 140
In the blink of an eye, it was the beginning of winter, and a sudden cold air swept across Linchuan.
The temperature in the northern region has dropped sharply, and it is no longer a weather where you can live with just a sweater. In order to fall in love, Lao Cao still goes out early and comes back late, but his equipment has been updated, and he has put on a thick woolen coat, and Daisy Ding’s is still a couple’s model.
"How about it? Are you handsome? Lao John, you and Nancy Feng should also buy two."
"hehe."
John Qin looked cold and drove Charles Cao away.
In addition, the school beauty competition at the University of Science and Technology is coming to an end, and the atmosphere of ranking is getting more and more intense.
Cui Yan is firmly at the top of the list. As long as she keeps her vote share, she will basically be the school's most beautiful girl.
Pang Duo from the Department of Chemical Engineering ranked second, but was not satisfied.
Her fan base has been working hard to find people to vote for, and they are constantly chasing Choi Yeon, who is number one.
John Qin admired Pang Duo's attitude of refusing to be inferior to others.
Just because of the competition between her and Cui Yan, the number of registrations on the Zhihu forum has skyrocketed, and the daily activity is even more exaggerated than when the school beauty competition first started.
At this point in the competition, there is no need for any more hype. Everything will fall into place. Therefore, the Linda team has withdrawn in advance, leaving only the part-time students from the University of Science and Technology stationed at 502.
In addition, Tina Tan has negotiated with 50% of the merchants and obtained 28 free letters of intent.
Lana Wei has also talked enough about advertisers, and promotion fees have gradually entered 208's accounts.
The website built by Susan's team has entered the final testing stage and will be able to access the forum next week.
John Qin took advantage of this time to make several trips to the Normal University. On the one hand, he wanted to understand the layout of the business district inside and outside the Polytechnic University, and on the other hand, he wanted to choose a location for the Xitian branch.
Everything is progressing in an orderly manner, and so is the Learning Star competition.
"Xiao Jin, how is the background data?"
"The situation is great!"
"Teacher Li, how many people are participating in our competition?"
"The situation is great!"
John Zhihua looked at the dwindling customer flow in the store and vaguely felt that something was wrong.
But Teacher Li categorically said that the format was excellent, and that the first place had received more than 3,000 votes, indicating that the event had great influence.
So John Zhihua felt relieved and continued to take people to various entrances of the school to distribute flyers.
But as time went by, the passenger flow declined instead of rising. No matter how stupid John Zhihua was, she began to realize that something was not quite right. What the hell is this called a good situation?
"Xiao Liu, I'm not very good at using computers. Please log in to the Linchuan Campus Forum for me and I'll see how our competition goes."
"Oh, okay boss."
The part-time college student at the college supermarket turned on his computer and logged into the Study Star Competition page.
Immediately afterwards, Niu Shangtian from Tongxing Driving School received a call from John Zhihua, asking him to quickly come to the college supermarket.
The day before yesterday, Niu Shangtian led a team to the head office to receive training on smiling service. When he came back today, his secretary immediately sent him a list of registrations for driving lessons this month. This list made him a little unable to laugh.
From the beginning of the competition to now, only one student has signed up, and finally the fee was refunded. The reason for the refund is that the weather is getting colder and it is better to wait until spring.
So after receiving the call, Niu Shang went to the college supermarket without stopping.
"Boss John, didn't you say that the format is great? What's so good about it?"
"Okay, haha, everything is so good!"
John Zhihua turned the computer screen away, her eyes so cold that she looked like she was about to bite someone.
Niu Shangtian didn't know what happened yet, so he glanced at the screen, then felt dizzy and his mouth almost hit behind his ears.
First place: John Qin
Second place: Yang Shuai
Third place: Wendy Wen
From the first place to the eleventh place, everyone's declaration is that they are welcome to use Zhihu Forum, the most useful campus forum in Linchuan.
"What's going on? How can Mr. John be number one?" Niu Shangtian's eyes almost flew out of his head.
John Zhihua gritted her teeth and pointed at the screen: "Look at the voting numbers again!"
Niu Shangtian took a closer look and found that except for the first eleven people who had more than a thousand votes, starting from the twelfth one, the number of votes was only in single digits: "Damn it, these people in front of them have swiped their votes, right?"
"We were fooled. No one participated in this competition. The first few people were all from John Qin. They got here by swiping votes!"
"What should I do? I've even paid the sponsorship fee!"
John Zhihua reached out and took out her mobile phone, suppressing her anger and called Teacher Li. The response on the other end of the phone was that the situation was still very good.
Such words made Boss John unable to bear it any longer. He opened his mouth and asked why John Qin was ranked first. Except for the eleven in front, why were all the votes in the back single digits, and some were zero!
"Boss John, I have a meeting to hold here. I'll talk to you in detail later."
"?"
Before John Zhihua could speak, the other party hung up the phone.
At the same time, the part-time college student who operated the computer changed his eyes: "Boss, our game seems to be over."
"What?"
"Look."
Xiao Liu pointed at the computer. The page that originally allowed voting had turned into a prohibition of voting. Then, an announcement appeared on the home page, announcing that voting in the Learning Star Competition had stopped and the competition was officially over.
John Zhihua was a little dizzy and couldn't stand still. After a long time of recovery, her face was still dark.
Emotionally, this means the situation is great, right?
I&*@%!
John Zhihua took a breath, then called Niu Shangtian, and angrily went to the general office responsible for forum operations.
Teacher Li had laid it out a long time ago. Seeing that they came to the door, he didn’t hide it, so he just dug out the posts from the past few days.
"They made a post on the Internet, saying that the winner of our competition will be guaranteed a graduate degree and receive a scholarship. I can't wear this hat. If something goes wrong, who will bear the responsibility?"
"Who posted this?" John Zhihua's eyes were a little dazed.
Teacher Li pondered for a long time: "I didn't find the specific IP address, but the network is connected from the entrepreneurial base. It must be from John Qin's group."
Niu Shangtian was speechless: "Boss John, I said at the beginning that if we hold competitions, we will hold competitions. Don't mess with John Qin. You have to mock John Qin in front of him. That kid is not a fuel-efficient lamp!"
"Why, are you still going to mock him?" Teacher Li opened his eyes wide.
"Yes, Boss John even asked people to come over and see how our activities were going."
Teacher Li's mouth twitched: "That's no wonder, let me just say, how could anyone think that this competition can guarantee graduates? It turns out that they are digging holes behind their backs!"
John Zhihua's face became increasingly ugly: "I didn't mean it. He is just an eighteen-year-old student. What can he do?"
"Don't you know what he can do now? One post directly tainted all of us."
"Now what?"
"Forget it's done here, end it as soon as possible. Give out prizes to those who need to give out prizes, and learn to drive when you need to. It's best if you can keep things quiet and calm."
John Zhihua was so angry that she gritted her teeth: "Teacher Li, we have paid all the operating expenses, but so far, we haven't had any publicity effect at all!"
Teacher Li doesn't care about that: "Our operating agreement states that we are only responsible for organizing competitions, and you will handle the specific publicity and traffic offline."
"but..."
"Don't be a loser. The competition is going well. Who asked you to go find John Qin? He is an eighteen-year-old student. Haha, if you look down on him, he will slander you. In the end, it all happens for a reason."
"Teacher Li, if you don't care about this matter, I'll call my cousin-in-law!"
John Zhihua took out her phone and opened the address book directly.
To be able to do business in school, except for entrepreneurial college students, everyone else basically has a nepotistic relationship. If they are not relatives of the leader, they are also friends of the leader, or they are relatives of the leader's friends.
For example, John Zhihua, a distant cousin-in-law of hers is the director of the Academic Affairs Office of Linchuan University. She felt that the matter could not end here, otherwise she would be furious, so she planned to use her connections.
But before she made the call, Director Li reached out to stop her action.
"Come on, Boss John, all the materials we use are plagiarized from them. Do you think your cousin-in-law can afford this person? Besides, John Qin was interviewed by Linchuan Youth Daily, and now he is promoting work assistance Learn activities, you might as well find something less to do to save your cousin-in-law a headache."
John Zhihua put down the phone after hesitating for a long time: "It's okay if I make a loss and make a profit, but the top few are all obtained by swiping tickets, so I can't give you this award!"
Niu Shangtian also means the same thing: "Half-price driving lessons must be cancelled!"
"What? You are shameless and I still want shame!"
Teacher Li glanced at them: "This is the first time the Linchuan Campus Forum held a competition, and in the end they gave away nothing? If this gets out, I will be laughed to death!"
"Then cancel the eleven in front. Aren't there still people behind? Just come up."
"The twelfth place has a total of six votes and gets a study star? Then it's better to just cancel it!"
John Zhihua gritted her teeth: "I don't care, anyway, I can't let John Qin become the fixed packaging of our milk tea bar!"
Teacher Li sighed: "Now you can see how dirty that kid is. If you really don't give him a reward, do you believe he can make trouble again? Boss John, you have been in business for so long, you should know how to be a gentleman." Don't behave like a villain!"
Hearing these words, John Zhihua's mind buzzed, and she suddenly remembered what John Qin said when he drove by that day.
"Please make the trophy bigger..."
"Be taller..."
"A little..."
Niu Shangtian thought about it for a long time, and mentally began to prefer Teacher Li's method of handling it.
That John Qin is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. He is smiling on the outside but has a lot of money behind his back.
Not only did he make a few mocking remarks during the meeting, but he actually ruined the whole competition directly. If he didn't let him win the prize safely, he probably had some tricks waiting for him.
"You will learn a lesson from the experience. He is barefoot and is not afraid of people like us who wear shoes." Niu Shangtian also began to persuade John Zhihua.
Teacher Li also nodded: "Lao Niu is right, it doesn't matter if you suffer a small loss, just remember it next time."
