The aloof school beauty has been reborn and is now pursuing me relentlessly.

Praised by her professor, Ding Han's fighting spirit soared, and she continued to work diligently to complete her design drafts.

Thinking he had received praise, Li Zhuang enthusiastically focused on perfecting his jujube cake trademark...

Our CEO, however, remained resentful and unwilling to give up after receiving the teacher's merciless critique.

muttering to himself:

"I am the same as Van Gogh; great works are always appreciated by few..."

"It's just that most people can't appreciate it..."

Then, without hesitation, he threw himself back into his abstract art.

The four members of dormitory 520.

Only Lin Ran finished her classwork briefly and then sat there daydreaming.

To be precise, it wasn't that I was daydreaming, but rather that I was thinking about something.

At noon, I had a brief chat with Cheng Binghao of Kaixin.com and his two capable subordinates at the South Bank Coffee Shop. We discussed the future development direction of the website and the improvement plan for its launch.

Actually, it didn't take too much effort.

It's basically based on the first version of Kaixin.com from the previous life, and I added the subsequent updates and modifications to it.

It's like doing some pre-emptive checks and filling in the gaps for the other party, avoiding some detours that would otherwise have gone astray.

The Kaixin.com team did a great job in the early stages.

As the newly appointed Chief Strategy Officer.

For now, there's no need to put in too much effort.

Therefore, the matter of Kaixin.com can be put aside for now.

Let's go back to studying and considering the browser game issue.

Regarding the copyright of the Doupo novel IP, Qingfeng, the head of the copyright department at Zhongdian Literature Network, has already sent over the electronic contract.

After printing out the contract this weekend and signing it, I can send it back to the other party.

Communication with Potato, the author of the original novel "Battle Through the Heavens," can continue.

Let's try to maintain our relationship.

This will greatly benefit the subsequent marketing and promotion of the web game.

But all of these things have been done—

The most pressing issue remaining is still building a team.

The first thing to address is the art team.

During her free time these past two days, Lin Ran also searched online and specifically looked for some professional art teams.

But as he expected.

Truly reliable art talents have already found employment with major companies.

Even if he were willing to take on freelance work, the project would take a long time. To meet the content requirements of his web game project, it would take at least six months to complete.

It took too long.

And those art teams with plenty of free time.

There's a reason why people have plenty of free time.

The quality of the finished product was far from satisfactory to Lin Ran.

—Some of these guys' work isn't even as good as Ma Xiaoshuai's.

—This shows just how horrific the scene was.

……

A professional class lasted until the bell rang.

Lin Ran is still researching and considering the art team.

After the teacher left, the students in the classroom scattered immediately, and since the school bus returning to the old campus wouldn't depart for another half hour, they all went off to find their own fun and wander around.

Ma Xiaoshuai, Ding Han, and Li Zhuang planned to go for a stroll around the new campus gymnasium.

It's said that there are quite a few female students from the sports academy exercising in the gymnasium.

It's also very pleasing to the eye.

I had originally planned to go with Lin Ran.

But someone politely declined, shaking their head in refusal.

The CEO still wanted to instigate and persuade:

"Hey third brother, wanna go check it out? The sports academy is full of tall, athletic beauties!"

"It would be a shame to miss out!"

Lin Ran casually replied:

"My wife also has long legs."

"Touch her... oh no, just look at her."

One sentence left Ma Xiaoshuai speechless.

Thinking about it, it made sense. With a look of grief and indignation, he grabbed Li Zhuang and Ding Han and left.

"Big brother, fourth brother, let's go!"

"So what if you have a school beauty as a girlfriend...?"

……

I parted ways with my roommates in my dorm.

Lin Ran wandered around the teaching building alone, and before she knew it, she had wandered back to the art classroom floor she had visited before.

It seems that art students have just finished class and left for the day.

When you brush past someone.

You can also hear some casual conversations among art students:

"Yesterday's school parking lot..."

"The most beautiful girl from the Finance Department on the old campus is here to teach."

"The Empress is on an inspection tour..."

"That's awesome!"

His words were filled with boundless amazement and praise.

Lin Ran listened with great pleasure and felt quite proud.

I almost couldn't resist going up to them, putting my arm around their shoulders, and boasting, "I'm Lin Erchui, and that's my buddy's girlfriend."

The next second, I heard several classmates change the subject:

"By the way, I heard the day before yesterday that our Zhao, the most beautiful girl in the academy, was bullied by a man here."

"I don't know how they bullied me."

"But it seems that Zhao Yuanhua also fell down..."

"Holy crap, who's got the nerve? Don't let me find out that kid's name!"

The person listened without changing expression and simply walked away quickly.

He immediately abandoned the idea of ​​introducing himself and boasting.

—What Zhao Yuanhua?

—It's none of my business if I don't know or haven't heard of it.

……

I passed the art classroom from last time after walking a few steps.

Peek inside through the back door.

It seemed like get out of class had just ended, and the studio was empty except for a lot of drawings and assignments still hanging on the canvases.

Lin Ran thought for a moment.

Then I went into the art classroom and briefly inspected each of the paintings on the canvases.

It's pretty much the same as last time.

The artworks and sketches by these art students are all just ordinary oil paintings or sketches, and the content is all strictly based on the textbook.

I can't see anything more.

There were some discarded drafts scattered on the ground, which looked like some things that students had just drawn for fun.

Lin Ran picked it up, glanced at it twice, then put it down again with a dark expression.

—This kind of work.

—I suggest you have a talk with Mr. Shuai.

—We can probably have a good chat.

Just as someone gave up the idea and was about to turn and leave.

My gaze inadvertently swept across the corner of the studio, where a lone easel stood, with a stack of drawing paper next to it.

And it was just that casual glance.

But it drew Lin Ran's attention.

I walked up to the easel in the corner without thinking, picked up a stack of paintings next to the easel, and casually flipped through them.

What caught his eye, however, made him see something new again.

and.

The style and content of the artwork in this sketch.

It looks somewhat familiar.

It seemed remarkably similar to the artwork of a young girl that he had unexpectedly stumbled upon in the hallway behind the classroom a few Mondays ago—

A sudden sound of footsteps came from behind.

The footsteps were very light.

It seemed like it was being deliberately controlled.

Lin Ran only noticed it when it got close behind him.

He was about to turn around instinctively.

Suddenly, he found his wrist being grabbed and pressed down from behind, while the other person's other hand quickly pressed down on his back.

A standard back grab.

If you react too slowly, or don't know how to respond.

The result was that he was immediately pinned down and subdued by the other party, unable to move.

But rather.

During winter break, someone learned this trick from a retired special forces soldier named Comrade Wang.

Ms. Su Tiezhu personally participated in the drill.

Successfully made someone suffer.

Oh, and there's a sweet deal too.

Then someone learned how to deal with and break the code from Uncle Zhou.

He didn't have a chance to use it on his school beauty girlfriend.

But never thought about it.

In this unexpected situation, it comes in handy.

At that moment, Lin Ran instantly recalled the solution that Uncle Zhou had taught him.

Don't dodge or avoid.

He took a step back as a strategic retreat, deliberately lunging into the arms of his opponent behind him.

Before the other party could react and come to their senses.

He grabbed the other person's slender arm with his backhand.

then.

He decisively dismounted, lowering his center of gravity.

By shifting your weight to the side, you create an opportunity for your opponent to lose balance and stagger forward—

He then executed a perfectly executed over-the-shoulder throw.

He launched his opponent from behind into the air and sent him crashing onto a soft mat on the ground next to the easel.

Snapped! ——

The entire sequence of movements was completed smoothly and effortlessly.

Lin Ran felt refreshed and invigorated!

Only then did he leisurely look at his defeated opponent.

Upon closer inspection...

The person was stunned again, a huge question mark appearing above their head:

"why is it you again?"
