Chapter 59 "If You Are the One" Event Begins
clap clap clap!
Before the volunteers could recover from their astonishment, Li Haipeng and Hao Pengxiang led the applause, which quickly spread.
Shu Beibei has a sweet appearance and is very approachable. She just enthusiastically distributed bottled water to everyone, instantly winning over the volunteers.
After the applause subsided, she smiled and stepped aside, saying, "Next, please welcome our founder of 'Jiaotong University Matchmaker'—Senior Geng Zhi—to say hello to everyone."
Ok?
The founder? Where is he?
Many volunteers were taken aback at first, then subconsciously looked at the people who had just distributed water, their eyes scanning the faces of the people, trying to find out who they really were.
A tall, long-legged boy dressed simply walked out of the crowd with a smile.
Wow! So he's the legendary founder! The girls exclaimed inwardly.
Geng Zhi didn't speak immediately, his gaze seemingly casually sweeping over Yang Mingxia, who had just walked to the registration area.
Yang Mingxia understood immediately and raised her hand, asking in a clear voice, "Boss, can we record this with our phones? Just to remember it!"
"Uh... well," Geng Zhi feigned hesitation, "go ahead and record it, we're all on the same side."
"Okay!" Yang Mingxia replied with a smile, immediately took out her phone, and started recording openly.
Among the crowd, several curious volunteers also raised their phones, thinking that it would be a good opportunity to record how the activity would be played and post it on the BBS at noon to reveal the secrets, which would definitely go viral.
"Hello everyone, I'm Geng Zhi."
"First of all, thank you all very much for coming. At the same time, please allow me, on behalf of the team, to apologize to everyone—because the number of spots in the first episode was really limited, it is a pity that we could not let you become official participants in the first episode of 'If You Are the One'."
After speaking frankly, he bowed slightly.
"Although you were not able to participate, you are our 'Jiaotong University Matchmaker' beta tester No. 001, our on-site observers, and the hidden designers of the storylines of the 64 participants."
He paused briefly before continuing, "As you all know, the mission of 'Jiaotong University Matchmaker' is—'to ensure that outstanding individuals like you are no longer alone in their excellence.'"
"So, what do you all think is the main goal of today's 'If You Are the One' event?"
"Make more couples!" a male volunteer blurted out.
"That's right, but that's just one aspect. I hope that when the event ends, even if participants don't get a match, they can feel warmth and respect as they leave, look forward to the next event, and regain their confidence in finding a partner. What do you all think?"
"Great!" many people responded excitedly.
"In that case, I hope that every volunteer, during the service process, will put the participants' experience and feelings first, maintain their dignity, alleviate their embarrassment, and help them present their best selves..."
The volunteers present were themselves users of the "Jiaotong University Matchmaker" app, eager to find a partner. Hearing this heartfelt appeal, many were moved, and their eyes became even more earnest.
"Thank you everyone. Now, let Beibei give you a rundown of the entire event."
After speaking frankly, Geng nodded to Shu Beibei, then picked up his backpack, walked to the corner of the activity room, and took out his laptop to get busy.
"Thank you again everyone~" Shu Beibei took over the conversation, smiling brightly, "Now I will give a complete introduction to the process of 'If You Are the One'."
"To avoid spoilers affecting the afternoon's activities, recording is prohibited for the following content. Please put your phones away!"
Nani?
Many students holding up their phones made "Oh no" expressions, but still obediently put their devices away.
Seeing that everyone was cooperating, Shu Beibei began to explain clearly and fluently:
"According to our procedure, at the beginning, the 64 little elephants will be divided into four groups of 16 people each..."
"Our activity is divided into three rounds. The first round is icebreakers, which will include two small games to help the elephants get to know each other, ease any awkwardness, and get them into the swing of things... The volunteers will need to..."
"After the first round, the little elephants will be given 'heart cards,' and each person can choose up to 3 boys/girls they like. The selection results will be immediately given to Dr. Xiaowen, the love expert... and volunteers..."
"In the second round, we'll be regrouped and play two challenging games that combine intelligence and teamwork... After the second round, we'll choose our favorite boy/girl again..."
"In the third round, based on the selection data from the first two rounds, 'intelligent pairing' will be used to form two-person couples to undertake a campus treasure hunt..."
"The campus treasure hunt has ended. Results are in..."
Finally, everyone returned to the activity room for the final selection and awards ceremony.
"President Li is in charge of overall coordination... Pengxiang is in charge of props and movement... Mingxia will be providing live text and image updates on the BBS and Renren.com official account..."
……
After Shu Beibei finished speaking, she asked everyone, "Does anyone have any questions about the whole process and our respective roles?"
"I have a question," a slightly chubby guy raised his hand, "If I see a girl I like during the process, can I ask for her contact information?"
"Hahaha!" The crowd burst into good-natured laughter.
Shu Beibei was amused, then said seriously, "Of course! However, in order not to affect the progress of the event and the guests' experience, please be sure to wait until the entire event is over."
……
After answering all questions, the main process review successfully concluded.
Li Haipeng, Hao Pengxiang, Sun Xiaowen, and other leaders then led their respective volunteers to conduct detailed rehearsals separately.
Shu Beibei walked towards Geng Zhi in the corner of the activity room.
At that moment, Geng Zhi was intently looking at his laptop screen when he received a new email.
The email was sent from Hong Kong, informing him that he had completed the registration of the Avengers Game company in Hong Kong.
Geng Zhi pursed his lips slightly.
This means that the last external obstacle to the launch of Fruit Ninja has been cleared.
He recently had to go there in person to handle follow-up matters such as bank accounts.
Just as he was pondering this, Shu Beibei's voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Boss, is there anything else you'd like to add or remind me of?"
"That's all. We've rehearsed so many times, and you've spoken very well. I believe in you and the team," Geng Zhi said with a smile.
"Thank you for your approval, boss." Shu Beibei paused, then couldn't help but lower her voice and ask, "Boss, do you think... this model can replicate the success of National Chiao Tung University in universities like SCHU, Fudan, and Tongji?"
"What do you think?" Geng Zhi asked with a smile, throwing the question back at him.
"I definitely hope so, but I'm not sure yet," Shu Beibei said honestly.
"Don't worry, someone will definitely help us out," Geng Zhi said meaningfully.
"Huh? Who is it?" Shu Beibei asked subconsciously.
"Let's focus on getting this first event this afternoon done well, and then we can wait for things to go smoothly," Geng Zhi said with a smile.
……
At 1:40 p.m., students who had dressed up carefully and registered were walking towards the activity room of the Flower Lion University with anticipation and a little nervousness.
The first "If You Are the One" event organized by "Jiaotong University Matchmaker" is about to begin.

Sorry, I set the timer wrong today, it's an hour late.
