This person really knows how to be reborn!

Chapter 61 So you're a huge victim of injustice?

The next day was still the registration day for new students, and returning students also returned to school one after another.

After nearly two months of quiet, the campus of Sichuan University has become noisy again, as if many pebbles have been thrown into a lake.

Early in the morning, Wang Zicong, He Shuhuan, and Chen Yuliang went out to explore the school with great excitement.

Zeng Cheng didn't go—he had other important business to attend to.

After washing up and having breakfast at the cafeteria, he went straight to an internet cafe located on campus. It had a rather impressive name: "Catch All in One Net".

He turned on a computer, logged into the Sichuan University campus forum, and posted a few job openings—preparing to start working on his campus social networking site.

Although Zeng Cheng was also in the internet industry in his previous life, he wasn't like Pony Ma or Lei Jun who were technically savvy. Instead, he was a speculative businessman who tested traffic and manipulated algorithms.

From a technical standpoint, he knows that "program optimization" is the same as "optimizing the program," and he also knows that "backend management" is equivalent to "managing the backend."

I just can't understand a word they say.

It doesn't matter, if you don't know how, you can find someone to do it.

I was so busy during summer vacation that I saved up more than 600 coins, which I was meant to spend.

Sichuan University has its own School of Computer Science, which may not be as specialized as the neighboring University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, but it's not far behind—it certainly has talent in related fields.

After posting the job ad and browsing the forum for a while, Zeng Cheng went to the girls' dormitory of the School of Economics and waited for Yu Baiwei a few minutes later.

The two held hands as they went to have lunch.

The afternoon was spent exploring the school.

The school history museum displays many cultural relics; the bright and elegant second teaching building with red walls and white tiles; the red gate, a classic spot for graduation photos; the old building complex near the east gate; Wenhua Avenue, lined with ginkgo trees on both sides; Wangjiang Tower not far outside the school; and Shuanghe Pond, filled with lotus flowers on campus...

Sichuan University, with its century-long history, is rich in cultural heritage and has a large campus. The main campus alone covers more than 3,000 acres, so even a quick visit could take a very long time.

As Zeng Cheng strolled around, he suddenly felt that Shuda University was probably doomed.

Everywhere you look, you see couples flirting and kissing, many even in broad daylight.

Yu Baiwei's delicate face gradually turned crimson, and her body slowly became hot. Zeng Cheng's small hand, which was being held by her, was noticeably sweaty.

As for Zeng Cheng, he would never admit that he was envious; instead, he chose to complain.

Your family works so hard to send you to university, only for you to date? Why don't you go to the study room and do practice problems?

This is unfilial!

The vast Shu University has been occupied by you debauched men and women who indulge in debauchery in broad daylight, and there is no room for a pair of pure and innocent friends.

This is unjust!

Now it's time to invite the Prime Minister, whose statue is enshrined in the nearby Wuhou Temple, to make his appearance.

I have never seen such a shameless person!

After having dinner together in the cafeteria, Zeng Cheng escorted Yu Baiwei back to her dormitory.

This shabby school is really impossible to visit.

After nightfall, the number of adulterous couples on campus not only doesn't decrease but actually increases. It's so immoral and there's no room for a pure and innocent pair of friends.

Zeng Cheng, feeling a pang of bitterness, secretly gritted his teeth.

Just you wait, when I become an Emperor, I'll definitely find a way to buy Sichuan University and then strictly prohibit students from dating on campus!

After returning to his dormitory, Zeng Cheng lay down on his bed to rest.

Instead of sleeping, I was thinking about the campus social networking site that I was about to launch.

The name has already been decided.

Chen Yizhou, the CEO of Qianxiang Interactive, took over Xiaonei.com from Wang Xing and renamed it Renren.com, which quickly grew into a major player.

Zeng Cheng had long ago decided to use even dirtier tactics to steal Renren.com's business from the university student population.

To be honest, that's tens of millions of fresh leeks!

Leaving aside how to pry, first of all, the name must be superior to the other side's.

So the website that Mr. Zeng is preparing to create is called "Zhongzhong.com". One person is worth three people. So, Chen Yizhou, are you worried or not? Are you scared or not?

Simply copying Renren.com isn't too difficult, since Renren.com is just a rough, unfinished product.

The UI design, human-computer interaction, operation logic, and interface aesthetics are all lackluster; frankly, they are all poor imitations of Facebook.

Zeng Cheng will definitely make corresponding optimizations and improvements based on the copycat Renren.com.

The optimization part is a gradual process; you just need to be willing to spend money on the programmers.

In improving this part, he plans to incorporate as many of the features as possible from later platforms like Zhihu, Xiaohongshu, Toutiao, and Weibo.

These methods have all been tested by the market, so we can just adopt them directly.

The new and trendy ways to play and attract traffic in the future will definitely be able to completely overwhelm all the current forums—even the top two, Tianya and Tieba.

Renren.com is nothing more than a roadside stall.

Just as Zeng Cheng was pondering this, Wang Zicong, that chatterbox, came over and said, "Sixth Brother, what are you thinking about? You've been silent since you came into the dorm. Is it because that super pretty female classmate didn't ask you out to dinner today?"

His tone was full of teasing.

He didn't believe Zeng Cheng was telling the truth that day at all, thinking that he was just putting on an awkward act to save face.

Why would you think that way?

To judge others by one's own standards.

That's just the kind of boy he is.

"Wang Laowu, be quiet, I'm thinking about something!"

"What are you thinking about?"

"I plan to buy Sichuan University."

"Damn, so you had the same idea, Lao Liu. When are we going to make a move? Let's team up!"

"No rush. Shuda University probably isn't cheap. I'll contact my cousin who's currently tiling the Great Wall and ask him to transfer 50 billion to me first!"

"Five hundred billion isn't enough. Here's what I'll do: I'll call my uncle who's planning to install an elevator on Mount Everest and ask him to transfer five hundred billion as well. Together, we brothers have a hundred billion, that should be enough!"

Chen Yuliang and He Shuhuan, who were listening nearby, couldn't stop laughing.

Wang Laowu and Zeng Laoliu, one openly flirtatious and the other secretly sly, are both incredibly talented. With such a brilliant and promising young talent, the next four years of university life will definitely not be boring.

"Bang bang bang—"

There was a knock on the door.

Chen Yuliang opened the door.

A tall, handsome boy walked in, carrying a large bag of ice cream.

Zeng Cheng glanced at him—Hey, isn't this our Brother Jiahao?

Qi Jiahao greeted the members of Class 606 with a cheerful smile: "Hello everyone, my name is Qi Jiahao, and I'm also from the Finance Class 1. It's hot, so I brought you some ice cream. Please don't refuse! It's a small gift from afar, but the sentiment is great!"

As the ancients said, "Those who offer unsolicited kindness are either treacherous or thieves." Zeng Cheng felt that Qi Jiahao probably had designs on the position of class monitor.

This is to be expected.

Being a class monitor in university offers more advantages, especially for students from better schools.

For example, for selected graduates, having served as a class monitor is a significant advantage during the selection process.

Moreover, he wields considerable power, truly serving as the executive deputy counselor.

Since Qi Jiahao had said that, the 606 brothers couldn't refuse and accepted his ice cream.

It's worth mentioning that Chen Yuliang's eyes were full of wariness when he looked at Qi Jiahao.

These two are on the same track; it's like the flour seller can't stand the lime seller.

"Zeng Cheng, I've been so busy these past few days that I forgot to call you. Don't hesitate to ask if you need any help—"

Qi Jiahao patted Zeng Cheng on the shoulder, and then added to Wang Zicong, He Shuhuan, and Chen Yuliang.

"You guys don't know this, do you? Zeng Cheng and I were high school classmates. I was his class monitor and always took good care of him!"

Qi Jiahao spoke in the tone of an older brother.

"Everyone has just started school and needs to get to know each other as soon as possible, so after getting Teacher Zhong's permission, I created a class group and added you all to it."

[Tsk tsk tsk, our Brother Jiahao is quite something. He has a clear goal and strong execution. No wonder he became a deputy director of a provincial department in his early thirties in later years, becoming a young veteran leader.]

As Zeng Cheng was thinking this, a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

Should I also run for class monitor?

He didn't plan to take the civil service exam, nor would he take the route of being selected as a civil servant, but having a class monitor title would be beneficial in the early stages of starting a business.

Furthermore, Qi Jiahao had already bullied him for three years in high school by taking advantage of his position as class monitor, so why would he have to put up with this kind of bullying in college?

Zeng Cheng was somewhat tempted.

Of course, he doesn't necessarily have to be the class monitor.

Let's go with the flow.

If a suitable opportunity arises, we'll make a move; otherwise, we won't force it.

Just as Zeng Cheng was pondering this, Qi Jiahao patted him on the shoulder again: "Want to chat?"

Two minutes later, in the dormitory corridor, Qi Jiahao spoke first: "Zeng Cheng, during the summer vacation I reflected on my high school days and realized that I was too immature back then. I was jealous of Xia Ning and competed with you. I didn't have any broad perspective at all. Now that we're in college, I don't want to fight with you anymore. Let's make peace."

"We didn't really have any conflicts," Zeng Cheng nodded. "Jiahao, you do look a lot more mature than you did in high school. You must have read a lot of books during the summer vacation, right?"

"I have read quite a lot, including 'The Art of Thick-Skinnedness and Black-Heartedness' and 'Game Theory,' and I have benefited greatly from studying them in depth..."

"So you've undergone specialized training, huh? So you want to run for class monitor?"

"Of course, Zeng Cheng, we're high school classmates, you have to help me!"

"Uh—how can I help you?"

"Can you get everyone in your dorm 606 to vote for me in the class monitor election?"

"Well—" Zeng Cheng dodged the question, "It's difficult to do. Some people in our dorm also want to be class monitor."

"I know, that guy named Chen Yuliang, he's been glaring at me the whole time," Qi Jiahao waved his hand confidently, "but he's the kind of guy who has some skills but not many, he can't possibly be my match."

"Jiahao, you're still as confident as ever," Zeng Cheng continued with a laugh. "Then I wish you every success!"

In his heart, he thought, what if your opponent wasn't Chen Yuliang, but someone as incompetent as myself?

"Of course—" Qi Jiahao smiled, finally revealing his true colors, "Zeng Cheng, I understand you didn't help me with that favor earlier, but could you lend a hand when I'm serving the class next time?"

"You need to tell me what you need help with first."

"The freshman orientation is tomorrow morning. Please add all the girls in our class to the class QQ group I created."

"This is such a complicated process, why don't you go do it yourself?"

"Zeng Cheng, I promised Teacher Zhong that I would help her organize the new student registration forms after the orientation meeting..."

"I can't guarantee I can add all the girls in our class to the group chat. You know, I'm shy, and I've never known how to interact with girls since I was little..."

Qi Jiahao's cheek twitched.

You're still too thin-skinned, kid?

You have the thickest skin in our high school class!

"Ahem—I'll prepare a bag of snacks for you. Just hand them out to any girls you see! They'll feel indebted to you if you take their money, so they probably won't refuse to join the group."

"Okay then."

"Zeng Cheng, thank you so much! I'll treat you to dinner sometime!"

Qi Jiahao's face was full of gratitude, but he was secretly pleased with himself.

Reading makes one wise; the ancients were right!

He had met Chen Yuliang long ago.

During the recent freshman registration, he and Chen Yuliang were helping Zhong Lingyu. They quickly realized that Zhong Lingyu was in the same track as them, and naturally guessed that they were both vying for the class monitor position and had been secretly competing with each other.

Therefore, Qi Jiahao was certain that Zeng Cheng would absolutely not be able to do the first thing he asked Zeng Cheng to do.

But he brought it up first on purpose.

Only after being rejected did she ask what she really wanted Zeng Cheng to do—to run errands for him.

As he expected, Zeng Cheng readily agreed out of embarrassment!

What does it mean to apply what you've learned?

This is!

Zeng Cheng's inner thoughts were as follows.

【Jiahao, I wasn't planning on competing with you for class monitor, but you forced me to have the chance to win over the girls in class. Not only did I not have to pay for anything, but you also thanked me and even offered to treat me to a meal. Are you some kind of scumbag?】
