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 possible to survive in a hoodie alone. In order to have a relationship, Lao Cao still goes out early and comes back late, but his outfit has been updated. He has changed into a thick tweed coat, which is a couple's style with Ding Xue's.
"How about it, isn't it handsome? Lao Jiang, you and Feng Nanshu should also buy two."
"hehe."
Jiang Qin looked very cold and drove Cao Guangyu away.
In addition, the campus beauty contest at the University of Science and Technology is coming to an end, and the atmosphere of competing for the rankings is becoming more and more intense.
Cui Yan is firmly at the top of the list. As long as she maintains her vote share, she will basically be the number one campus beauty.
Pang Duo from the Chemical Engineering Department ranked second but was not satisfied.
Her fan club has been working hard to find people to vote and is constantly chasing after Choi Yeon, who is ranked first.
Jiang Qin greatly admired Pang Duo's attitude of refusing to be inferior to others.
Because of the competition between her and Choi Yeon, the number of registrations on Zhihu forum has skyrocketed, and the daily active users are even more exaggerated than when the school beauty contest just started.
There is no need to hype the competition at this point, and everything will come naturally, so the team from Linda has withdrawn in advance, leaving only part-time students from the University of Science and Technology to guard 502.
In addition, Tan Qing has already negotiated with 50% of the merchants and obtained letters of intent from 28 merchants for free entry.
Wei Lanlan had also negotiated with enough advertisers, and the promotion fees had gradually entered the account of 208.
The website built by Sunai and his team has entered the final testing stage and will be connected to the forum next week.
Jiang Qin took advantage of this time to visit the Normal University several times, on the one hand to understand the business layout inside and outside the Polytechnic University, and on the other hand to select a location for a Xitian branch.
Everything is progressing in an orderly manner, including the Learning Star competition.
"Xiao Jin, how is the background data?"
“The situation is very good!”
"Teacher Li, how many people are participating in our competition?"
“The situation is very good!”
Jiang Zhihua looked at the decreasing number of customers in the store and vaguely felt that something was wrong.
But Teacher Li said with certainty that the situation was very good, and that the first place had received more than 3,000 votes, which showed that the event had a great influence.
So Jiang Zhihua felt a little relieved and continued to lead people to distribute flyers at various entrances of the school.
But as time went on, the customer flow decreased instead of increasing. No matter how stupid Jiang Zhihua was, he began to realize that something was amiss. How could this be called a good situation
"Xiao Liu, I'm not very good at using computers. Can you help me log into the Linchuan campus forum so I can see what's going on with our competition?"
"Oh, okay, boss."
The part-time college student working in 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 Jiang Zhihua, asking him to come to the college supermarket as soon as possible.
The day before yesterday, Niu Shangtian led a team to the head office to receive training on smiling service. As soon as he came back today, his secretary immediately handed him the list of people who had signed up for driving lessons this month. This list made him a little sad.
From the start of the competition to now, only one student has signed up, and he even got a refund in the end. The reason given for the refund was that the weather was getting colder and it would be better to wait until spring.
So after receiving the call, Niu Shangtian went straight to the college supermarket.
"Boss Jiang, didn't you say the situation is very good? What is so good about it?"
"Good, haha, everything is fine!"
Jiang Zhihua turned the computer screen around, her eyes were extremely cold and her expression looked as if she wanted to bite someone.
Niu Shangtian didn't know what was going on, so he glanced at the screen. Then he felt dizzy and his mouth almost twitched behind his ears.
First place: Jiang Qin
Second place: Yang Shuai
Third place: Wen Jinrui
…
From the first to the eleventh place, everyone’s competition declaration was welcome to use Zhihu Forum, the most useful campus forum in Linchuan.
"What's going on? How come Mr. Jiang is number one?" Niu Shangtian's eyes almost popped out.
Jiang Zhihua gritted her teeth and pointed at the screen: "Look at the number of votes again!"
Niu Shangtian took a closer look and found that except for the first eleven people who had over a thousand votes, the votes from the twelfth onwards were only in the single digits: "Fuck, did these people in front cheat?"
"We've been fooled. There's really no one participating in this competition. The top few are all Jiang Qin's people. They got there by cheating with votes!"
"What should I do? I've even paid the sponsorship fee!"
Jiang Zhihua reached out and took out her cell phone, suppressed her anger and called Teacher Li. The response from the other end of the phone was still that the situation was very good.
Boss Jiang couldn't help but ask why Jiang Qin was ranked first, and why, except for the eleven in front, the votes for the rest were all in single digits, and some were even zero!
"Boss Jiang, I have a meeting to attend. I'll talk to you in detail later."
"?"
Before Jiang Zhihua could say anything, the person on the other end hung up the phone.
At the same time, the part-time college student operating the computer changed his expression: "Boss, it seems our game is over."
"What?"
"Look."
Xiao Liu pointed at the computer. The page that was originally open for voting had become a page where voting was prohibited. Immediately afterwards, an announcement appeared on the homepage, announcing that voting for the Learning Star Competition had been suspended and the competition had officially ended.
Jiang Zhihua felt a little dizzy and couldn't stand steadily. After recovering for a long time, her face was still black.
I guess this means the situation is very good
I&*@%&#!
Jiang Zhihua took a breath, then called Niu Shangtian and angrily went to the general office responsible for the operation of the forum.
Teacher Li had already given up on the matter, and seeing that they had come to him, he did not hide anything and directly dug out the posts from a few days ago.
"They posted a message online saying that the winner of our competition can be admitted to graduate school and receive a scholarship. I can't accept this. If something goes wrong, who will take responsibility?"
"Who posted this?" Jiang Zhihua looked a little dazed.
Teacher Li pondered for a while and said, "I didn't find the specific IP address, but the network was connected from the entrepreneurship base. It must be Jiang Qin's group."
Niu Shangtian was speechless: "Boss Jiang, I said at the beginning that we should hold the competition and not provoke Jiang Qin. You had to ridicule him in front of him. That guy is not an easy person to deal with!"
"What? Are you going to mock him again?" Teacher Li opened his eyes wide.
"Yes, Boss Jiang even asked them to come over to see how our event is going."
Teacher Li's mouth twitched: "No wonder, I was wondering why anyone thought that this competition would guarantee admission to graduate school. It turns out that someone was setting a trap behind the scenes!"
Jiang Zhihua's expression became more and more ugly: "I didn't mean it. He is just an 18-year-old student. What can he do?"
"Now you know what he can do, right? One post directly deceived all of us."
"Now what?"
"The event should be over here, and it should be ended quickly. Those who deserve awards should be awarded, and those who deserve driving lessons should learn to drive. It would be best if we can calmly resolve the issue."
Jiang Zhihua gnashed her teeth in anger: "Teacher Li, we have paid the operating funds, but up to now, there has been no publicity effect at all!"
Teacher Li didn't care about that: "It is clearly stated in our operating agreement that we are only responsible for organizing the competition, and the specific publicity and traffic diversion is handled by you offline."
"but… "
"Don't be so naive. The competition was going well. Who told you to go find Jiang Qin? He's an 18-year-old student. Haha, you look down on him, so he schemes against you. In the end, everything has cause and effect."
"Teacher Li, if you don't care about this matter, I will call my cousin's husband!"
Jiang Zhihua took out his cell phone and opened the address book directly.
Apart from entrepreneurial college students, those who can do business in school basically have some nepotism. They are either relatives of the leaders, friends of the leaders, or relatives of the leaders' friends.
For example, Jiang Zhihua's distant cousin's husband is the director of the Academic Affairs Office of Linchuan University. She feels that this matter cannot end here, otherwise she will be angry to death, so she plans to use her connections.
But before she could make the call, Director Li reached out to stop her.
"Come on, Boss Jiang, all the materials we use are copied from them. Do you think your cousin's husband can afford to lose this person? Besides, Jiang Qin was interviewed by Linchuan Youth Daily, and now he is promoting work-study programs. You might as well find something less to do to save your cousin's husband a headache."
"… "
Jiang Zhihua hesitated for a while and put down the phone: "It's ok for me to make a loss to gain publicity, but the top few places are all fake votes, so I can't give them this prize!"
Niu Shangtian also meant this: "The half-price driving lessons should also be cancelled!"
"What? You guys are shameless, but I still have some dignity!"
Teacher Li glanced at them and said, "This is the first time that the Linchuan Campus Forum has held a competition, and in the end, nothing is given? If this gets out, I'll be laughed to death!"
"Then cancel the first eleven. There are still people behind, right? Just take over."
"The twelfth place got six votes in total, and got a study star? It might as well be cancelled!"
Jiang Zhihua gnashed her teeth and said, "I don't care. Anyway, I can't let Jiang Qin become the fixed package of our milk tea bar!"
Teacher Li sighed: "Now you can see how dirty that kid is. If you really don't give him the award, he will make trouble again. Do you believe it? Boss Jiang, you have been in business for so long, you should know the principle of offending gentlemen instead of villains!"
Hearing this, Jiang Zhihua's mind buzzed, and she suddenly remembered what Jiang Qin said when he drove by that day.
"Please make the trophy more impressive..."
"It's a little more classy..."
"A little..."
Niu Shangtian pondered for a while, and psychologically began to favor Teacher Li's approach.
Jiang Qin is really not a good person. He smiles on the surface, but he is a ruthless person behind the scenes.
It was just a few sarcastic remarks when we met, but he actually ruined the entire competition. If he is not allowed to take the award safely, he will probably have other tricks up his sleeve.
"Every failure makes you wiser. He was a barefoot man and he was not afraid of people like us who wear shoes." Niu Shangtian also began to persuade Jiang Zhihua.
Teacher Li also nodded and said, "Lao Niu is right. It's okay to suffer a little loss. Just remember it next time."
