Following Tang Wu's instructions, several media outlets had no choice but to give up and leave in frustration.

This scene was witnessed by Zhao Kun, who had just arrived.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Kun immediately stepped forward, struck up a conversation with him, and revealed that his wife, Zhou Ling, was Zhou Chen's sister.

Upon learning that Zhou Ling was the sister of the provincial top scorer, the media reporters immediately became interested and expressed their willingness to interview her.

Zhao Kun was secretly pleased, but not in a hurry, because he wanted to bring all the media outlets that had failed to interview Zhou Chen to his home to interview Zhou Ling.

With the added advantage of being Zhou Chen's brother-in-law, Zhao Kun got into one of the media's cars and led the group of media back to his home.

Zhou Chen was unaware that most of the media outlets that left had gone to interview Zhou Ling.

After confirming that there were no media reporters downstairs, he and Tang Wu went downstairs and left the community. At the company, they completed the interviews with Fengcheng TV and Cai Xiaowei.

That evening, Zhou Chen had dinner at Wu Yingjie's house.

Wu Yingjie was very pleased and urged him to make good use of his academic talents after entering university and become a pillar of the country.

Teacher's wife Tian Shuhui also mentioned how Wu Yingjie had proudly mentioned him to relatives, friends, and old classmates.

Wu Yingjie felt a little embarrassed when his wife exposed his boasting about his students to those around him. Zhou Chen didn't expect Old Wu to have this side to him and couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

"If you put it that way, don't I have any dignity? Xiao Zhou is still here."

“What’s there to be embarrassed about? Xiao Zhou is your student. He did so well on the college entrance exam. What’s wrong with showing off? Your old classmates teach in the city. Every year, when their students get into good universities, they brag to you. It’s only right that you show off Xiao Zhou to them and let them envy you.”

Zhou Chen watched Old Wu and his teacher's wife's conversation from the side, not daring to interrupt.

The master's wife is indeed the master's wife; Old Wu was no match for her at all. He had no choice but to turn his head and change the subject with Zhou Chen.

The dinner lasted until after 8 p.m. before they left Wu Yingjie's house.

When he got home, Zhou Chen saw a lot of calls from unknown numbers on his phone. He didn't plan to call back, but instead dialed Sun Wanying's number.

Sun Wanying was naturally the first to know about his achievements, but she was busy with work.

She briefly recounted the interview and the dinner at Wu Yingjie's house, followed by some topics typical of couples.

Before going to sleep, Zhou Chen glanced at the penguin group.

The old class group was very lively because he was not online often, and the group members could only learn about him through Liu Lei. Liu Lei told them about his interview.

Everyone was surprised to hear that Zhou Chen had refused many media interviews; they certainly wouldn't have refused if someone had offered to interview them.

"Liu Lei, you were so farsighted. I'm starting to regret not going to work for Zhou Chen back then."

"Zhou Chen is now the top scorer in the province, so he won't have to worry about his future job; he should be able to choose any job he wants."

"With Zhou Chen's current achievements, does he need to work? I doubt it. He will continue to start his own business and may become a big boss of a listed company in the future."

"Is Zhou Chen still hiring? To be honest, I'm thinking of going there."

Liu Lei did not respond to the regret expressed by some people. Instead, she announced that the company was about to move to the Glasses Office and posted photos of the already renovated office in the group chat.

When the group saw the bright and spacious office in the photo, everyone was once again aroused.

"This office is so big? It must have cost a lot of money to renovate it."

"It's not much, only two or three hundred thousand. The main problem is the high rent. In the most prosperous area of ​​Yanjing, it costs seven or eight hundred thousand a year. Of course, this is just the rent for one company's premises, not including the rent for other businesses' office space."

Liu Lei spoke in a nonchalant tone, delivering another blow to everyone in the group.

Think about their annual salary, and then think about Zhou Chen's business; they can't even reach a fraction of Zhou Chen's.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen smiled faintly and quietly withdrew.

Instead of continuing the conversation in the group chat, Liu Lei started a private voice chat with Wu Yuxue.

“Yu Xue, you’re working so hard at the company. Why don’t you come to Zhou Chen’s place? With your abilities, I believe you can soon become a manager like me. Then we can be together every day again.”

"Haven't you always wanted to work in Yanjing? We're moving to a new office in Yanjing soon. The working environment is excellent, and I'm sure you'll love it. If you're willing to come, I'm confident Zhou Chen will welcome you."

Liu Lei tried again to persuade Wu Yuxue to join Zhou Chen's team.

She has said it at least three times because she feels that following Zhou Chen is really promising. Putting aside her salary, the slight increase each month over the past few months, the change in her position alone makes her very happy.

Currently, she is a junior manager, overseeing four or five people. It's not a large number, but Zhou Chen said that when they arrive in Yanjing, they will continue to recruit. At that time, the recruitment requirements will be significantly raised, and not just anyone can get in. Then, the number of people she manages will increase again.

Now that Zhou Chen has become the top scorer in the college entrance examination, his fame has soared, and the quality of his past exam papers will inevitably increase again, greatly boosting sales and solidifying his position in the practice question field.

It can be said that she watched Zhou Chen grow the real exam paper business step by step, and she hoped that her good friend and classmate Wu Yuxue could also get on this train.

"Liu Lei, thank you, but I won't go."

Wu Yuxue remained silent for a long time before refusing again.

Upon hearing this, Liu Lei looked helpless. "Yu Xue, why are you so upset? Zhou Chen has a girlfriend, but so what? You can be ordinary friends. The more you act like this, the more I feel that you haven't let go."

"Don't try to provoke me, it won't work. I'm not going because I don't want things to be awkward between us, and I don't want his girlfriend to misunderstand."

Wu Yuxue said.

"If that's your reason, and I talk to Zhou Chen about it, he definitely won't think the same way you do. If he welcomes you to join, would you be willing to come?"

After a few seconds of silence in response to Liu Lei's question, Wu Yuxue said, "Okay."

"Okay, then wait for my good news."

Liu Lei was immediately overjoyed.

the next day,

Liu Lei mentioned her intention to bring Wu Yuxue into the company to Zhou Chen, who, after a moment's thought, agreed.

Wu Yuxue is, after all, a top student, so it would be best if she were willing to join.

"Mr. Zhou, you really agreed?"

Liu Lei was somewhat excited.

"Well, you should tell her that I welcome her, but she will start as a regular employee and I won't let her become a manager right away."

"I understand, thank you, Mr. Zhou."

Liu Lei smiled and hung up the phone.

Zhou Chen shrugged, not taking the matter too seriously, and Wu Yuxue immediately understood what Zhou Chen meant.
