Chapter 50 College Students Force a Resignation

The team had already brainstormed several times about the name of the first "Jiaotong University Matchmaker" event.

The creative team, including Shu Beibei, Yang Mingxia, Hao Pengxiang, and Sun Xiaowen, prefers to name each event independently, believing that this is more interesting, more in line with the theme, and easier to create a sense of novelty.

For example, this year's Singles' Day could be called "Singles' Day: Encountering a Serendipitous Romance" or "11.11, Say Goodbye to Loneliness," or something similar.

However, Geng Zhi insisted on fixing the event name and using a unified brand name.

He believes this is conducive to long-term dissemination and brand building, so that users will know it is the signature event of "Jiaotong University Matchmaker" just by hearing the name.

Having worked at New Oriental for many years, Li Haipeng is well aware of the long-term value and the importance of capturing users' minds through a strong brand name.

His support for Geng Zhi ensured that the team had no further objections to the event's name.

After deciding on a direction, everyone narrowed it down to several options from dozens of names: "Dating Simulation," "Dating Plan," "Cupid Matrix," "Gravity Field," "Probability Theory," "Chance Encounters," and so on.

Dr. Sun Xiaowen, who is well-versed in the psychology of marriage and relationships, strongly recommends the name "Single Relationship Drill".

According to her explanation, "finding a partner" highlights the core objective and directly attracts the target audience; while the word "practice" greatly reduces the utilitarianism and awkwardness of traditional blind dates, lowers the psychological threshold for participation, and sounds more relaxed and like a game.

After hearing this interpretation, Shu Beibei, Yang Mingxia, and Li Haipeng all thought the "dating simulation exercise" was excellent and almost unanimously approved it.

However, when Geng Zhi was pleasantly surprised to find that Jiangsu TV's "If You Are the One" program had not yet started airing, he decisively added "If You Are the One" to his shortlist.

In his memory, this phenomenal variety show was about to sweep the entire country.

Using this name now not only allows you to capitalize on its future popularity, but also enables you to register the trademark in advance, giving you a significant advantage in future negotiations and marketing.

However, he couldn't tell his team that he could predict the future, so he decided to use the name "If You Are the One" under the pretext of "using the popularity of the movie 'If You Are the One' for publicity."

"Boss, weren't you worried before that using 'If You Are the One' might infringe on the rights of Huayi Brothers' movie?" Li Haipeng asked, recalling their previous discussion.

"I just consulted with professionals. Huayi Brothers hasn't registered the trademark, and even if they did, it would be in Class 41 (movies and TV programs), while our 'If You Are the One' trademark needs to be registered in Class 45 (dating and matchmaking), which are completely different categories of goods and services from theirs."

"Furthermore, the movie 'If You Are the One' is not a well-known trademark and is not protected across categories, so the risk of infringement is very low."

"Understood. Then let's do it the way President Geng suggested. I'll inform Mingxia and Shu Beibei that we'll use this for subsequent publicity." Li Haipeng nodded.

Geng Zhi keenly noticed that Li Haipeng addressed Yang Mingxia and Shu Beibei by their full names, one affectionately and the other by their full names, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

……

December 2st, early morning.

Students living in buildings such as Building 30 in the East District, Building 15 in the East District, and Building 46 in the West District, which are known as "poster buildings," habitually look up when they leave the house and glance in the direction of the giant poster that has become a feature of the campus.

Sure enough, the poster has been updated again.

The style, size, and "by JDHN" signature remain the same, but the huge number in the center has changed from yesterday's "3" to a striking "2".

In addition, a new element has been added to the bottom of the poster: a pair of simple cartoon elephants with their trunks touching, which looks like a cute logo.

The campus BBS was reignited, with various analysis posts, speculation posts, and expectation posts emerging one after another. Students were having a great time playing this nationwide deduction game.

"It seems several classmates were right; this poster really is a countdown!"

"Next comes 1, 0, so the day after tomorrow is the day 'JDHN' will appear?"

"Let me sort this out: heart-shaped cards, liberal arts college pairings, and now there are even elephants... This is definitely a large-scale social event!"

"But what exactly is 'JDHN'? Is it just a nickname, or does it have a deeper meaning?"

"Do you think 'JD' could be an abbreviation for 'Jiao Tong University'?"

……

The forum was buzzing with discussion, and in office 401, a few people with the script in hand and an omniscient perspective were watching with great interest.

"Ahhh! Seeing how excited they are to guess but they can't guess right, I really want to log into my alternate account and spoil the ending in the comments!"

Yang Mingxia stared at the screen, her heart pounding with anxiety. The pain of holding a shocking secret in her hands but being unable to speak of it was even more unbearable than being unable to write a copy.

"Hold on! Comrade Mingxia! Hold on!" Shu Beibei patted her shoulder with a smile. "We're the masterminds now, so let's enjoy the thrill of controlling the whole situation and watching the audience get caught up in the drama!"

"This is nothing," Geng Zhi said casually as he walked over with his water glass, looking at the bustling forum. "You'll have plenty of opportunities to experience God's-eye view in the future."

"Really?" They all looked over expectantly.

As they were chatting and laughing, Song Qing and Huang Haitang, carrying laptops, walked into office 401 one after the other.

Geng Zhi looked at Song Qing with suspicion, thinking that Professor Qi had assigned him an urgent task yesterday, so why was he so blatantly coming to help him...

Huang Haitang noticed his confusion and explained with a smile, "Your senior brother Song stayed up all night last night to finish the work the boss assigned so that he could come and work today."

Upon hearing this, Geng Zhi immediately cast a grateful glance at Song Qing and gave him a thumbs up: "Senior Brother Song, you are truly righteous! I will remember this kindness."

"Working for the boss is a task, but coming here to my junior brother is a hobby, and it's more comfortable," Song Qing waved his hand, his tone relaxed. "The key is the good atmosphere, and I don't have to stay up all night. I wish I could stay here permanently."

After chatting for a few more minutes, Huang Haitang started talking about serious matters.

"Junior brother, I have tested the system according to your requirements. The stress test has passed, and it can handle thousands of simultaneous accesses without any problems. Please also check the functionality." Huang Haitang said.

"Alright. Senior Brother Song, please create a test account for everyone." Geng Zhi instructed. "Everyone, go through the core processes together: user registration, event registration, backend review, notification distribution, and CP voting."

"Okay, I'll get it done right away!" Song Qing replied.

This version was straightforward and didn't include any complex features; it was all very standard. As a result, the team didn't find any major logical flaws, just some minor bugs and product experience issues, which Song Qing was able to fix quickly.

"Junior, which big company did you intern at before?" During a break from testing, Huang Haitang couldn't help but ask curiously, "I see that your grasp of product details and processes is even more experienced than the senior product managers I met when I interned at Microsoft."

Just as Geng Zhi was about to answer, Yang Mingxia exclaimed in surprise:

"Everyone, someone's posted a demanding thread on the BBS!"
