Chapter 23 Campus Beauty Contest
"A man must have two secret stashes of money." Huang Yiliang remembered this advice.
However, he felt that having a few more wouldn't be a problem.
He inexplicably recalled Yi Ran's famous quote: "If you pursue multiple women at the same time, your chances of failure will decrease."
Huang Yiliang had just returned to the Communication University of China when he saw Yi Ran making flirtatious remarks to a female junior student again. He had changed his target again; the previous one was already a lost cause.
"Flammable!" Huang Yiliang shouted.
"Hey, boss!"
Yi Ran quickly turned around, ran over, and handed the milk tea that he was originally going to give to the junior schoolmate to Huang Yiliang.
"Brother Liang, have you eaten yet? I bought this milk tea especially for you."
"..." The junior schoolgirl turned and left in anger.
If someone like Yi Ran could find a girlfriend, it would be because the woman is blind.
"Hmph! Fine, let her go. The next one will be better!" Yi Ran looked at the junior schoolmate's back and pouted in a particularly manly way.
"How's it going with taking pictures of the girls?" Huang Yiliang asked as they walked.
"It's still going on. We found a group of professional photographers to take pictures. They have their own equipment, which saves us the money of renting cameras."
"There are just too many girls who want to take photos, and those bastards on the photography team told me they want more money," Yi Ran said angrily.
"How much do you pay them per day?" Huang Yiliang asked.
Yi Ran held up one finger: "Ten yuan!"
Huang Yiliang was speechless. No wonder the other party wanted to pay more.
If this had been done with a film camera, the person would have been completely ruined.
"Raise the price to thirty dollars and ask them to take nicer photos. Tell them to contact them for any future jobs," Huang Yiliang said generously, as it was impossible to find such cheap cattle and horses elsewhere.
"Alright!"
After finishing her sentence, Yi Ran asked with a somewhat embarrassed expression, "Could you manipulate the voting process for the campus beauty and hunk contest organized by our Zhiyou.com?"
"Who told you to ask?" Huang Yiliang looked at Yi Ran with sharp eyes.
He wasn't a truly naive 18-year-old boy; he already understood that there was room for manipulation in any competition.
However, the official Zhiyou.com website has announced that the annual campus beauty and campus hunk competition is absolutely fair and just, with the number of votes cast by Zhiyou members being the sole criterion for selection.
"Sister Yao Yao!" Yi Ran said with a bitter face.
"Who?" Huang Yiliang's expression became even more strange.
Yi Ran glanced around and whispered, "Bai Yao, she wants to be in the top ten."
"Tell her not to come and lower the beauty standard of our competition," Huang Yiliang said irritably.
"Ah—! I can't do that!" Yi Ran quickly shook his head. "Besides, don't you think Bai Yao participating in the competition would be more of a sensation?"
Huang Yiliang thought for a moment and nodded.
He organized this competition to promote Zhiyou.com. With Bai Yao's appearance participating in a beauty pageant, it was indeed going to generate a lot of buzz.
"In short, this year's campus beauty and campus hunk competition is in your publicity department's hands."
"If you don't have enough funding, you can ask me for approval. Make sure it's a great event. After our Zhiyou website goes live, you can refer to this competition model and hold one at other schools."
Huang Yiliang took a new cell phone out of his pocket and handed it to Yi Ran: "This is for you."
Yi Ran used to use a PHS phone that offered free incoming calls, but the signal was terrible. Every time Huang Yiliang talked to him, he would yell until his liver hurt.
"Hehe, thank you, boss!" Yi Ran's face was full of surprise.
He'd wanted to get a new phone for a while, but he didn't have the money.
"By the way, I've retrieved the piano recording of 'Lakeside.' The people at the recording studio said someone from a music company wants to meet you, so I gave them your phone number."
Yi Ran handed a USB drive to Huang Yiliang.
"good!"
Huang Yiliang never expected that Zhou Mengdie's piano piece "Lake Baikal" would become so popular online after being uploaded by her seniors at the Beijing Dance Academy.
This guy always thought that instrumental music wouldn't have a wide audience, but he didn't expect that college students would rave about this piece.
Huang Yiliang decided to re-record a high-definition version of "Lakeside" because the version recorded by the senior student from Beijing Dance Academy using MP3 had very poor sound quality.
Furthermore, Zhiyou.com now offers a single music customization feature for users with Platinum or higher accounts. Users can set a music track in their Zhiyou space, which will then play automatically when the Zhiyou space is opened.
Huang Yiliang intended to share this song, "Lakeside," with his close friends.
"There's another thing. One guy in our publicity department came up with a great idea for promotion. He took our Zhiyou.com flyers to the student dormitories and knocked on doors one by one. He handed out flyers to students whose beds had computers. I think this method is excellent," Yi Ran continued to report.
"Heave--!" Huang Yiliang took a deep breath.
This is just door-to-door canvassing! He's been too busy lately to think of this method.
The Zhiyou.com network has now been fully implemented at the Communication University of China, so door-to-door canvassing is no longer very meaningful.
But after Zhiyou.com officially launched.
Going door-to-door to canvass the dorms would be especially effective against those arrogant students at Peking University.
Huang Yiliang once sold MP3 players at Peking University. The students there didn't like crowds. Even if you shouted yourself hoarse on the playground, it wouldn't make much difference. Most of them preferred to stay in quiet, shady spots under trees or in the library, but the library didn't allow people to go in to promote their products.
We'll find people from their student union to do part-time jobs, knocking on doors in each dorm room. I bet you won't go back to your dorms to sleep.
"Whoever came up with this idea, give them a reward of two hundred yuan."
Huang Yiliang took out two hundred yuan and handed it to Yiran.
"Also, this promotional idea needs to be included in our planning proposal, as we'll be using it later."
"Okay!" Yi Ran took the money and prepared to leave.
Huang Yiliang also had to go to the classroom to attend classes.
Today's classes are all required courses for the directing department, so he dared not skip them.

"Sister Fei, no one is answering the phone. Should we keep calling?" a slightly plump middle-aged woman asked.
"Go ahead and keep calling! Of course, keep calling, but don't call too often, or you'll disturb them. Call once every hour." Sister Fei immediately changed her mind: "Call once every half hour."
"OK!"
Fei turned to look at the medium-length hair man beside her.
"How is it? Doesn't this piece suit me perfectly?"
"Hmm, the melody is really good. This ethereal style really suits you. Leave the arrangement to me! I'm particularly free lately, I promise I'll make it even more ethereal and melodious for you." The long-haired man patted his chest confidently.
Fei rubbed her temples, looking exasperated. "I haven't been able to contact the creator yet. Could you help me find out?"
"Of course, no problem. In Beijing's music scene, it's impossible for me not to know someone with this kind of musical talent." The long-haired man calmly smoothed his bangs.
"Zhou Mengdie!"
"Who?" "Uh—! Never heard of him!" The long-haired man's hair was a little messy.
"Didn't you say that there's no talented musician you don't know?" Sister Fei was in a bad mood, so her words were quite sarcastic.
