To help his three adoptive siblings, Zhou Chen sacrificed his future, only for them to succeed. However, instead of gratitude, he was met with ingratitude, leading to a lifetime of hardship.
...
The interview program had a huge impact when it aired.
after all,
Zhou Chen's story is truly inspiring, which is why Fengcheng TV was willing to take the initiative to interview him.
The current smear campaign against the stinky tofu business is not only against Zhou Chen, but also against Fengcheng.
How could the leaders of Fengcheng remain indifferent? They would naturally suppress the rumors and prove Zhou Chen's innocence, otherwise they would be contradicting themselves.
In this way, Zhou Chen achieved his goal.
And this incident has essentially prevented similar rumors from appearing again in the future.
It's far more effective than him having to explain it himself.
Zhou Chen feels that she is receiving far more attention at school now than she did last time.
He became famous last time because he broke a record and the school held an awards ceremony to commend him, but how can an awards ceremony be compared to being interviewed by reporters and appearing on television?
This is a privilege usually reserved for television stars.
For high school students who are still in school, it is naturally even more surprising and admirable, especially the things Zhou Chen said in the interview, which left a deep impression.
Some students, when they meet Zhou Chen, will quote a line from one of his interviews, then give a thumbs up and exclaim how awesome he is.
As Zhou Chen passed through a crowd, he overheard someone using his words in a practical way, saying that he had previously hesitated between the school beauty and the female academic star, unsure which to choose. Now he had figured it out: only children make choices; adults want both.
Fortunately, someone reminded me to stop dreaming; neither the school beauty nor the top female student would like me.
Otherwise, Zhou Chen really wanted to pee on the guy to wake him up.
By the way, does your high school have a school beauty?
When Zhou Chen returned to the classroom at noon, he noticed that the girls were frowning and the boys were looking at him with envy and a hint of jealousy.
what happened?
Just as Zhou Chen was wondering, a classmate reminded him that someone had just delivered a note to his desk.
Who wrote him the note?
Curious, Zhou Chen returned to his seat and saw a line of neat small handwriting on the note. It was a sentence followed by a name.
She was brief, saying she wanted to be friends with him. Her name was quite nice, and it was clearly a girl's name: Xu Mengya.
Who is Xu Mengya?
Zhou Chen felt the name sounded familiar, as if he had heard it before, but he didn't know who it was.
"Brother Chen, the school beauty wants to be your friend! Brother Chen, you're awesome! She's the school beauty from our No. 1 High School!"
Li Kaile exclaimed excitedly from the side.
What?
Is this Xu Mengya the school beauty?
Zhou Chen was slightly taken aback. He really hadn't expected that the school beauty would take the initiative to be friends with him. No wonder his classmates were casting all sorts of glances at him.
I bet a lot of guys are secretly incredibly jealous of him.
If looks could kill, he would have died at least ten thousand times over.
Xu Mengya is the most beautiful girl in the hearts of many high school boys. Who wouldn't want to get to know her and be close to her?
However, many notes sent out went unanswered, and now that Zhou Chen had received a note personally delivered by Xu Mengya, how could anyone not feel envious and jealous?
What exactly was written on the note?
Should I become Zhou Chen's girlfriend?
Oh no, the school beauty is going to become someone else's girlfriend!
Some of the boys in the class were heartbroken, wishing they were Zhou Chen and could take her place. In desperation, they could only mention Wu Yingjie's words about forbidding dating, hoping to stop Zhou Chen from contacting Xu Mengya so that they would have a chance.
Zhou Chen could sense everyone's emotions, and he felt both amused and exasperated. In his eyes, she was just a pretty young girl, nothing more.
He wasn't interested.
Seeing Zhou Chen's calm demeanor, Li Kaile was filled with admiration. This was a note from the school beauty herself! Any other boy would have been incredibly excited, but Zhou Chen remained calm and composed. That was the difference.
"It seems there is still a lot I need to learn from Brother Chen."
Li Kaile thought to himself.
When Zhou Chen left school in the evening, he saw a pretty little girl with an oval face and not very tall staring at him at the classroom door.
This left him completely baffled.
But he ignored it; after all, he didn't know him.
It wasn't until they left the teaching building that Li Kaile revealed that the other person was Xu Mengya, the school beauty.
"So she is Xu Mengya."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen chuckled. No wonder she was staring at him, as if expecting something.
"Brother Chen, the news that you rejected Xu Mengya will spread throughout the entire No. 1 High School today."
"Those who like Xu Mengya will be happy, but they will also hate you for treating their school beauty like this."
Li Kaile couldn't help but feel a sense of worry.
After all, there are too many boys who like Xu Mengya. From the first year of high school to the third year, you could easily pick out hundreds of them. If these people were to cause trouble, the possibilities would be endless.
Let them be.
Zhou Chen shrugged, not caring at all; he never had any intention of making friends with the school beauty.
Moreover, in terms of beauty and figure, Sun Wanying far surpasses Xu Mengya.
He could maintain a calm attitude even when facing Sun Wanying, let alone Xu Mengya, who was slightly inferior.
Huh?
It doesn't seem appropriate to compare her to Sun Wanying.
Zhou Chen shook his head, deciding to stop thinking about things that were impolite to everyone.
Little did he know, behind him, a pretty young girl was biting her lip, her eyes welling up with tears, as if she had suffered a great injustice. This appearance made anyone who saw her feel a strong urge to protect her.
Many boys were pleased to see this, but also angry that Zhou Chen ignored their school beauty goddess's attitude.
They unanimously decided to demand an explanation for the school beauty.
Zhou Chen was unaware of these things, but the news that Xu Mengya had passed him a note and that he had ignored her spread very quickly, and even Zhou Ling had heard about it.
"Xu Mengya is just being shameless. She wrote him love letters, and it's her own fault for being ignored. Who told her to be so shameless?"
Zhou Ling said with a sneer.
She knew who Xu Mengya was; she was in the same grade as Zhou Na and had been voted the school beauty by all the boys when Zhou Na was in school.
She's the school beauty in the boys' eyes, but in the girls' eyes, she's an enemy.
Zhou Ling, in particular, felt that she was not much worse than Xu Mengya. Why was Xu Mengya chosen as the school beauty? All those boys must be blind to think that Xu Mengya was the most beautiful girl in the whole school.
Hearing that Xu Mengya had given Zhou Chen a note, she was naturally unhappy. It wasn't for any other reason than that Xu Mengya, with her title of school beauty, was letting Zhou Chen steal the spotlight. Fortunately, Xu Mengya got a cold shoulder and ran into a wall with Zhou Chen.
Thinking of Xu Mengya's many admirers who would surely be unhappy and cause trouble for Zhou Chen, and how Zhou Chen's stinky tofu business would spread even further with the broadcast of the interview program, she couldn't help but smile with a smug look.
