Thinking there's still half a day before the interview, Xu Lin logged into the assistant account on the computer.

It's been over thirty hours since the post on Xiaohongshu, and now the number of people adding the assistant account is unknown.

All that's known is that the friend requests are at 99+.

"Need to handle this."

Xu Lin pulled up a previously set-up mini-program on the computer.

Mini-program name: Classmate Xu.

Command: Count how many people?

Classmate Xu: A total of 36,595 people!

"Hmm? That many?"

Xu Lin was a bit surprised, not expecting the number to be this large.

Command: Approve all who specified their intent; delete all others by swiping left.

Classmate Xu: Command completed! Approved 4,595 people!

For ordinary WeChat users, the friend limit is 10,000.

Command: Send a unified message, 'Send a video of you singing, a cappella, show your full strength, and show your face.'

Classmate Xu: Message sent.

Xu Lin pondered, and realizing that more than 4,000 videos would soon need to be watched, even if each video were just one minute, that's 4,595 minutes, or 76 hours!

But a video wouldn't possibly be just one minute; even if he watched only part of each video, it would take a lot of time.

The workload is not small at all.

"Let me think..."

Xu Lin started to ponder.

Soon, a lightbulb went off, and he thought of a very efficient method, though the preliminary work would be a bit troublesome.

The method was to feed Classmate Xu songs by domestic singers, giving it the ability to judge the quality of the singing of the person in the video.

That way, upon seeing a video, it would know if the person sang well or not, pre-selecting them for Xu Lin.

So, for the next five hours, Xu Lin studied this.

He searched for the top hundred popular songs by popular domestic singers, and fed in as many as he could.

For someone like Jay Chou, Xu Lin fed almost everything to Classmate Xu.

However, Xu Lin also categorized them, for example, those with good singing skills, distinctive voices, etc., for Classmate Xu to distinguish.

The final step was to let Classmate Xu assess the person's appearance.

So, Xu Lin fed it web images of a few hundred people, categorizing appearances into various levels.

After all, in the entertainment industry, if you don't look good, you can't become popular; exceptions are rare unless the person has intimidatingly strong personal abilities, which are also rare.

The entire task took Xu Lin five hours, and he finally fed everything to Classmate Xu.

Command: Filter out those with high appearance, good singing skills, distinctive voices, and strong overall capabilities.

Command: Also apply the previous command to any new friend requests.

Classmate Xu: Okay.

Classmate Xu: Since this task involves a certain amount of work, I will need some time.

Xu Lin checked the time; it was almost five in the afternoon.

Realizing it's time to leave, he decided to stop worrying about this task and just keep the computer on.

Finally, Xu Lin took a shower, got dressed neatly, and left.

Wearing the same suit as yesterday.

Around six o'clock, Xu Lin arrived at the destination.

The headquarters of the novel company.

It was Ranzhi who came to welcome Xu Lin.

Ranzhi smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, the host has arrived. I heard you're very handsome, and she's curious too!"

Xu Lin remained calm, "I also want to see how beautiful she is in person."

"Guaranteed to be pretty!"

Ranzhi patted her chest.

The female host's name was Ye Yuqing, twenty-six years old, a professional host, but not from our company. She was hired from outside and is quite famous in the hosting field because of her looks and figure.

For a host, especially a female one, appearance is often more important than ability, similar to female celebrities. Who doesn't look good on TV?

Xu Lin soon met with Ye Yuqing.

Having seen many beautiful women, Xu Lin thought Ye Yuqing in person was just okay, comparable to Li Sinan's level — already considered a goddess in real life.

Moreover, as a somewhat famous female host, she was like a trump card.

In reality, only elite men could approach such women.

"Are you really Mr. Xu?"

Seeing Xu Lin, Ye Yuqing was amazed, feeling a bit awkward standing there, and didn't dare to make eye contact with him. When Xu Lin looked at her, they locked eyes, making her blush.

The men around the novel company knew that this usually aloof goddess-like host, Ye Yuqing, known for her cold image online, now seemed shy in front of Xu Lin.

"This is my first time meeting such a beautiful woman at your level, it's making me a bit nervous too. Are hosts this competitive now?"

Xu Lin was boasting, but the women liked it.

"Oh, not at all, haha, I don't consider myself beautiful."

Ye Yuqing felt shy, not daring to meet Xu Lin's eyes, but occasionally stealing glances.

Xu Lin, being handsome and charismatic, was irresistible to most women.

Ye Yuqing said, "I didn't expect the famous Mr. Xu to be so young, and so handsome!"

"I would prefer people to praise my talent, not just notice my appearance."

"But your talent is just as outstanding!"

"Really?"

"Yes, indeed!"

Ye Yuqing took out her phone and opened a QR code from her personal account.

"Can I add you as a friend?"

"What are you trying to do?"

"Just adding as a friend, getting to know each other," Ye Yuqing eagerly tried.

"I'm afraid not, I have a girlfriend!"

Xu Lin refused, maintaining a serious demeanor.

Ye Yuqing: ...

Who would have thought she'd be turned down?
