Chapter 60 Spying on the Opponent
Chapter 60 Spying on the Opponent
Wang Qinqin from the School of Foreign Languages, arm in arm with her best friend Kong Juan, explored the campus of Huashi University with a mix of trepidation and anticipation.
"This is my first time at Huashi University. Where is the activity room in the gymnasium?" Wang Qinqin asked, looking around.
"Qinqin, look over there!" Kong Juan pointed to a spot not far away. "Isn't that the sign? It has the logo of the 'Jiaotong University Matchmakers' cartoon elephants on it!"
"That's really... the organizers really thought of everything." Wang Qinqin felt a little more at ease and praised softly.
Several female students from the School of Florence University had already stopped and gathered around the sign, discussing it curiously.
"'If You Are the One'? That's the same name as Feng Xiaogang's movie. Is it some kind of matchmaking event?"
"Let your excellence no longer be a solitary pursuit of excellence..." This sentence really struck a chord with me!
"Go three intersections ahead and turn left to reach Brave"—hey, isn't that our school's gymnasium!
In fact, at the three main intersections a hundred meters away from the gymnasium activity room, there are equally exquisitely designed directional signs.
This is one of the results of the cooperation between Li Haipeng and the External Relations Department of the Huashi University Student Union, with the aim of promoting the "Jiaotong University Matchmaker" brand at Huashi University as well.
The registration area is located at the entrance of the gymnasium activity room.
A young woman, dressed in a taro-purple knit suit and with exquisite and capable makeup, walked confidently to the registration area.
The girl's outfit instantly attracted the attention of several boys nearby.
"Hello, student, what is your CP number and name?" Yang Mingxia, who was in charge of registration, looked up and asked politely.
The woman in purple quickly glanced at the sign-in sheet spread out on the table and answered smoothly: "Group 12, School of Foreign Languages, Wang Qinqin."
"Okay, please show me your student ID card," Yang Mingxia continued politely, following the procedure.
"Please wait a moment." The woman rummaged through her bag, a perfectly timed look of embarrassment on her face. "Oh dear, student, I think I forgot my student ID card."
"I see..." Yang Mingxia looked up, her gaze lingering intently on her face for a couple more seconds. "Then you might need to go back and get it."
"It's almost 2 o'clock now. If I go back to the Foreign Languages Department dormitory at Jiaotong University again, I definitely won't make it in time." The other person's face showed obvious difficulty, and their tone carried a hint of pleading. "Look, the name and number match. Can you make an exception? Rules are rules, but people are flexible."
A male student who had just finished signing in nearby chimed in, "Yeah, classmate. They came all the way from Jiaotong University; it's too much trouble for them to go back. As long as the information is correct, it's fine, right?"
"That's right, classmate, please make an exception..." the woman in purple chimed in, her eyes pleading.
"I'm sorry, student, the 'If You Are the One' event is strictly based on real names. Without a student ID card, we cannot let you in. This is also for the sake of all the guests," Yang Mingxia explained.
The woman in purple persisted, and Yang Mingxia and another volunteer next to her exchanged a glance before politely asking, "Excuse me, what are your registration email address and QQ number? Let us check the system records."
Upon hearing this, the woman in purple froze for a moment.
Just then, Wang Qinqin and Kong Juan, who had successfully found their way by following the road signs, also arrived at the registration area.
"Welcome to the 'If You Are the One' event!" a female volunteer greeted warmly.
"Thank you~"
"Please come over here to verify your identities and collect your unique number tags, hand-drawn maps, and other activity props," the volunteer instructed.
"Hello, what are your CP numbers and names?" Yang Mingxia turned to them.
"The 26th couple, Kong Juan."
"The 12th couple, Wang Qinqin."
Upon hearing this, Yang Mingxia carefully looked at Wang Qinqin, who was speaking, and then glanced at the woman in purple next to her.
The woman in purple looked completely uncomfortable. Without saying another word, she turned around decisively and left the scene quickly.
Outside the gate of Huashi University, in a car parked by the roadside, a male employee from Baihe.com rolled down his window upon seeing his boss return so quickly: "Mr. Li, you're back already? Was the event a disaster?"
Li Li shook her head: "They check very strictly, requiring real-name verification. I used a student's information without their knowledge, and the girl at the gate who signs in saw through it."
"Damn! This lousy activity organized by students is like airport security!" the male employee spat. "So, Mr. Li, how do we proceed with the research?"
"I inquired and found out that in the email they sent to the participants, they specifically reminded them to wear sneakers and new socks. I guess there will be an outdoor activity. Let's move to another location and wait to see their outdoor activities," Li Li said calmly.
On the other side, Wang Qinqin and Kong Juan finished signing in and walked into the activity room.
The "Prince Passage" and "Princess Passage" that appeared before them, simply decorated with ribbons and balloons, made their eyes light up again.
"Girls, please use the 'Princess Passage' on the right!" A volunteer beside the passage smiled and directed the two.
I need your love every day, you can guess what's on my mind, I love you, I just want you to make every day wonderful...
Inside the event room, the sound system was playing "Inevitable Love" by Will Pan and Xianzi, and the light and familiar melody instantly created the atmosphere for the day.
"There are drinks and snacks sponsored by Christine inside, feel free to help yourselves!" another volunteer at the entrance kindly reminded everyone.
Kong Juan couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement: "The 'Jiaotong University Matchmaker' event is on a whole different level compared to all those random matchmaking events I've attended before! Amazing, truly amazing!"
"Yes, it feels like they really put a lot of effort into it." Wang Qinqin, who was participating in this kind of event for the first time, also sincerely praised it.
"It only costs 48 yuan, I think it would be worth it even if it cost 100 yuan!" Kong Juan, who has a lot of experience attending conferences, affirmed again.
"Kong Juan, how many people do you think will volunteer to go on stage for the individual performance segment later?" Wang Qinqin asked, both expectant and a little nervous.
"It's hard to say," Kong Juan glanced around at the crowd that had begun to gather, "but I guess there will be a few more outgoing and brave guys."
The two went to the tea and snack area and took a small plate of cake.
Kong Juan suddenly nudged Wang Qinqin with her elbow and whispered, "Qinqin, look! Isn't that the girl in the 5th pair on the CP list? The one with the 'Queen of Aura'?"
Following her gaze, Wang Qinqin saw a girl who looked to be less than 1.6 meters tall, but whose clothes and demeanor exuded confidence, walking in through the princess passage. She certainly had a "queen" vibe in her every move.
"I'm a little curious about what the 185cm tall guy she'll be paired with will be like," Wang Qinqin whispered.
"And what about your own on-screen partner?" Kong Juan asked with a teasing smile, "That 'trendy guy from the Computer Science department,' can you recognize him?"
"180cm, 73kg, parted hairstyle, trendy style..." Wang Qinqin subconsciously repeated the description from the CP list, her eyes searching through the crowd, "Should be... easy to recognize, right?"
"If you really recognize me, would you go over and say hello?" Kong Juan winked mischievously.
"How can that be!" Wang Qinqin quickly shook her head, her ears burning. "It's so awkward for a girl to be too forward..."
"Hey, Qinqin!" Kong Juan suddenly grabbed her arm, gesturing for her to look at a tall boy in a grey hoodie who had just stood up diagonally in front of her. "Look at that... doesn't he look like your boyfriend?"
Wang Qinqin's gaze was immediately drawn to it.
Then, it was as if it were stuck, and it couldn't be moved anymore.
