Zhou Ling was somewhat disappointed that she couldn't persuade Zhou Na.

I kept pouting the whole way, feeling down.

After returning home, she told Zhao Kun about it. Zhao Kun snorted, his tone full of disdain, "In my opinion, your second sister is just scared and doesn't want to get involved."

"Brother Kun, you're right. She even advised me not to mess with Zhou Chen." Zhou Ling shared the same thought.

"Since your second sister can't lend us a hand, forget it, we won't miss her. The previous interview video has already caused a lot of netizens to condemn Zhou Chen and stand up for you. His reputation as the top scorer in the province will definitely be damaged. Now let's see how far this matter can escalate. Hopefully, it can affect Yanda University and make them give up on admitting him."

A glint of anticipation flashed in Zhao Kun's eyes.

Zhou Chen ruined his future by tricking him into joining a pyramid scheme, making him a notorious laughingstock in Fanjia County. He will also ruin Zhou Chen's future in the same way.

This is called an eye for an eye.

"Brother Kun, do you think he'll really take the initiative to contact us and apologize to us?"

Perhaps because of her previous failed attempts to provoke Zhou Chen, Zhou Ling harbored some resentment and didn't want to suffer a loss again this time.

This time, she was exposed online and seen by the entire nation. If she failed again, she would be completely ashamed to face anyone.

Seeing Zhou Ling's lack of confidence, Zhao Kun said calmly, "What are you afraid of? You're saying good things about him in front of the media, not bad things. Even if someone digs up what you did before and puts it online, so what? People will only think that you know your mistakes and correct them, and praise you for turning over a new leaf."

He will only leave people with the impression of being narrow-minded and petty, so you can rest assured. Unless he doesn't want to go to university, the public opinion will snowball, and even Peking University will have to consider the social impact and decide whether to admit him. In that case, he will have to contact you and beg you to clear his name.

After hearing these words, Zhou Ling's confidence increased considerably. It was true that she had repeatedly tried to cause trouble for Zhou Chen and failed each time, so she was unsure of herself. Even though the situation was in her favor, she was still inevitably uneasy.

"I'll go to an internet cafe later and upload your interview video to various forums, online communities, and QQ groups. I'll also put his car purchases and nationwide business together for comparison. This will definitely attract a lot of people to speak up for us again. We can use them to stir up public opinion. We don't need to do anything else. We can just sit back and watch the show."

Zhao Kun came up with a way to spread this matter quickly.

Zhou Ling nodded, supporting Zhao Kun's decision.

After dinner, Zhao Kun went to an internet cafe and proceeded as planned.

While he was moving the interview videos, he unexpectedly saw a video attacking Zhou Chen. After watching the whole video, Zhao Kun couldn't help but rub his hands together, grinning from ear to ear.

"Heaven is helping me! It's truly heaven's help! With this interview video, Zhou Chen, I don't believe you're not finished!"

"You're finished. You're being collectively attacked. Let's see how you explain this."

Zhao Kun was overjoyed. As Zhou Chen's relatives, the Zhou family members of Zhoujia Village collectively spoke out, condemning Zhou Chen's "various evil deeds." With the Zhou family's encouragement, Zhou Chen would be pushed to the forefront of public opinion, which would be far more effective than Zhou Na giving an interview.

then,

Zhao Kun decided that in addition to uploading Zhou Ling's interview video, he would also post the video of the Zhou family's collective accusation to places where netizens gather.

After all that busy work, evening soon arrived.

After returning home, Zhao Kun told Zhou Ling about the good news.

Zhou Ling was surprised by this unexpected bonus, which boosted her confidence. She knew that Zhou Chen would soon be attacked by the group.

The greater the fame of the provincial top scorer, the greater the backlash they will suffer.

"Brother Kun, I want to tell Mom and Dad this good news."

Zhou Ling was quite excited at the thought that Zhou Chen was about to be caught in a media storm.

Zhao Kun did not like Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua.

But considering that the two worked at the restaurant, Zhou Ling didn't stop them. "I told them they could, and asked them when they would send over the money they earned."

Zhou Ling's excitement was dampened considerably when Zhao Kun took the opportunity to ask Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua for money, but she couldn't say anything and could only nod in agreement.

While Zhou Ling was calling Zhou Dana and his wife...

Negative voices about Zhou Chen began to spread rapidly online. Because Zhou Chen was the top scorer in the province, he received a lot of attention. Suddenly, elders of Zhou Chen's family began to collectively denounce him, prompting many public intellectuals and influential figures to publish articles and comment on his case.

Suddenly, the internet was flooded with articles with all sorts of eye-catching headlines.

For example:

Which is more important, academic performance or moral character? Compared with foreign countries, are there aspects of China's education system that we should reflect on?

In today's society, the lack of moral character to match one's position and the lack of academic achievement to match one's moral character is a problem worth considering.

It is suggested that universities should prioritize students' moral character as the most basic standard for admission. Those who are academically gifted but lack moral character should not be admitted to schools, so as to promote the traditional virtues of respecting the elderly and caring for the young.

The lack of moral education has resulted in contemporary young people lacking essential qualities, causing concern for the future of the country and urgently requiring new educational reforms.

In the original high school class group,

Many people shared similar articles in the group chat, discussing whether what the Zhou family members said was true.

"To be honest, I don't believe what those people say. Zhou Chen is not an ungrateful person."

“I agree. Back then, Zhou Chen was willing to drop out of school so that his three siblings could have the opportunity to go to school. He was willing to give up his own future in order to help his siblings become better. Is that a lack of morality? Those who don’t know the truth are just talking nonsense.”

"There must be some misunderstanding here, old classmate, please come out and explain."

Wu Yuxue watched the heated discussion in the group chat, eagerly awaiting Zhou Chen's reply, but Zhou Chen seemed unaware and remained silent.

Seeing this, Wu Yuxue had no choice but to contact Liu Lei to inquire about the specific situation.

Liu Lei said she didn't know what Zhou Chen was doing or whether he was aware of these negative rumors, but she believed that Zhou Chen and his relatives were deliberately trying to smear him.

Wu Yuxue had a similar thought. After considering it for a while, she decided to send a text message to Zhou Chen.

"Thank you for your concern, I will handle it."

After receiving Zhou Chen's reply shortly after, Wu Yuxue was less worried. She hoped that Zhou Chen could successfully resolve this crisis.

If Zhou Chen survives this ordeal, he will continue to have a bright future. If not, not only will his university studies be in trouble, but his current business may also face a huge crisis and be on the verge of bankruptcy.

She was curious how Zhou Chen would respond to the Zhou family's aggressive attack.
