To further alleviate customers' psychological stress,

Zhou Chen and Li Kaile ate freshly fried stinky tofu in public to prove their innocence. After seeing this, onlookers began to buy it.

Although it cannot return to its previous popularity, it is already the biggest improvement compared to the past two days.

Zhou Chuan, who was hiding not far away and secretly watching the spectacle, witnessed the whole scene.

"A bunch of idiots, believing this explanation, they're really brainless."

Zhou Chuan was furious when he saw the people who were cheering. He thought these people were despicable. They were crazy to be able to eat stinky tofu after hearing that there was feces in it.

Zhou Chuan wasn't too worried about this.

Even if they send a lawyer's letter, so what? Who can prove that he did it? Even if Uncle Hat comes, we're not afraid. There's no evidence to arrest him.

"However, I still need to tell my third sister and discuss what to do next."

Zhou Chuan didn't linger; he turned around and immediately went to find Zhou Ling.

After meeting Zhou Ling, Zhou Chuan explained in detail how Zhou Chen had handled the situation.

Zhou Ling was silent for a while, then suddenly a smile appeared on her face.

"Third sister, do you have some new ideas?"

Seeing Zhou Ling's appearance, Zhou Chuan's eyes lit up. He didn't want Zhou Chen to revive the stinky tofu business. Ideally, he would use this rumor to ruin the business and force it to close down completely.

Zhou Ling nodded and readily admitted, "That's right, I do have a better idea."

Zhou Chuan was very curious. "Third sister, tell me about it, and I'll give you some advice."

"The lawyer's letter he sent is useless to us; it can only scare people. But the fact that he sent the stinky tofu to the industry and commerce department for inspection might actually prove his innocence. What I need to do is muddy the waters." Zhou Ling paused deliberately at this point.

"Then how do we muddy things up?" Zhou Chuan pressed.

Zhou Ling's eyes flashed with a sharp light as she sneered, "Everyone is questioning whether there's something in his stinky tofu. We can create another question by making him disclose all the ingredients used to make the stinky tofu, especially the sauce."

Um?

Zhou Chuan was stunned for a few seconds, wondering what the logic was behind doing this, when he suddenly realized what was going on.

"Third sister, your move is brilliant. If he announces it, then everyone will be able to make stinky tofu, and he will no longer be unique. But if he doesn't announce it, it means he's afraid, and people will think there's something fishy going on, which is tantamount to admitting it without being asked."

Zhou Chuan clapped his hands and said.

Zhou Ling smiled and nodded. That's right, that was exactly what she was planning. "I'm certain he won't release the materials and let others copy his business. In that case, he'll have to swallow his pride and continue to be misunderstood."

"Third Sister, isn't this a well-intentioned but ultimately deliberate tactic?" Zhou Chuan flattered her.

Zhou Ling didn't think about any schemes or plots; as long as she could make Zhou Chen suffer, she didn't care about any schemes.

...

Interview?

Suddenly, Wu Yingjie informed him that the city's television station planned to interview him and produce a television program.

Zhou Chen was quite surprised

"What, you don't want to? This is an opportunity that many people would kill for."

"If it weren't for your outstanding performance in the Five Cities League, which brought glory to Fengcheng, why would the city's TV station come all the way to our small county to interview you? Even I don't get that kind of treatment. Xiao Zhou, you should seize this opportunity to let more people know you, which will benefit your future development."

"Didn't you run that stinky tofu business? I told the TV reporters about it, and they were very interested and planned to report on it as well. The school leaders unanimously supported your acceptance of the interview so that more people would know that our No. 1 High School represents not only yourself, but also our entire school."

Wu Yingjie's words left Zhou Chen with no choice but to agree.

Upon careful consideration, Zhou Chen also felt that he had no need to refuse. This was a municipal television station with a great influence, and once it was broadcast, it could be seen by audiences across the country.

Most importantly,

Through this interview, he can spread the story of a high school student starting a business. If it attracts the attention of the city, the city may personally step in to refute the rumors and slanders against his stinky tofu.

Secondly, he can also position himself as a spokesperson for stinky tofu to attract franchisees.

In the future, as his athletic achievements improve, the number of franchisees will definitely skyrocket.

In an instant, a number of thoughts flashed through Zhou Chen's mind.

Wu Yingjie was right. This was a tremendous opportunity, especially for him; it was like a windfall.

"Teacher, I agree to the interview."

Zhou Chen immediately said.

Seeing that Zhou Chen agreed, Wu Yingjie breathed a sigh of relief. He knew Zhou Chen's personality; he was very stubborn, and once he made up his mind, nothing could change it.

Fortunately, Zhou Chen listened to his advice, and the school leaders will be very satisfied with it.

The day after Zhou Chen agreed to the interview, people from the city's television station arrived.

To minimize the impact, the school kept the news under wraps. Students were only curious about the TV station's vehicle appearing on campus, but no one knew what the TV station was there for.

Zhou Chen finished the interview during his lunch break.

With the life experience from her previous life, Zhou Chen's interview went smoothly and she performed very well. Both the reporter and the photographer showed their admiration.

Not to mention, some of the insightful remarks Zhou Chen occasionally uttered were so profound that they could hardly believe they came from him.

"Zhou, we look forward to your future achievements and bringing glory to our Fengcheng City."

"We hope we can interview you again. Remember to come to Fengcheng next time and visit us at the TV station. We welcome you."

The reporter shook hands with Zhou Chen, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration. As a veteran reporter, he had seen many outstanding young people, but Zhou Chen was the most special one. In particular, Zhou Chen's maturity and composure, his mature mindset, were unlike that of a high school student. It made him feel as if he were talking to someone his own age, or even someone older than him.

It's a very strange feeling.

Therefore, even though Zhou Chen was just a high school student, he still received an invitation to be a guest on the TV station.

This scene was witnessed by Wu Yingjie, Lu Guoliang, and many school leaders, all of whom showed surprise.

But along with that came a lot of joy. The fact that the reporter spoke like that showed how much he admired Zhou Chen. In the future, the high school would become famous because of Zhou Chen and be known by more people.

After seeing off the TV reporter,

The school returned to normal. Zhou Chen only told Li Kaile about the interview and instructed Li Kaile not to tell anyone else.

This made Li Kaile both happy and quite depressed, feeling stifled.

He was interviewed privately by the city's television station.

What an amazing and glorious thing that is!

Li Kaile really wanted to help Zhou Chen show off, but Zhou Chen wouldn't let him.
