University life is rich and colorful.

Not only do each department have its own activities, but there are also various activities between departments, between clubs, and across the entire university.

Although Zhou Chen doesn't particularly like being in the spotlight or participating in activities, being called to be an audience member is something every college student has to face as a freshman.

If you don't want to be a spectator, you have to wait until your sophomore or junior year. Freshmen are generally more disciplined, but they gradually become seasoned veterans by their sophomore year and are less likely to be manipulated.

Zhou Chen quite enjoyed being an audience member. After all, in his previous life, he had always had this regret. He watched the freshmen from various departments on stage, giving speeches, singing, or performing skits to earn credits, which he found very interesting.

Wang Rui, Zhang Hao, and Li Wei were busy preparing for their phone and game top-up business, and they often used the excuse of needing to pee to sneak away. This infuriated their class monitor, Song Xiaodie, who bombarded them with phone calls, but still couldn't find them, so she asked Song Xiaodie for help in finding them.

Zhou Chen verbally agreed, but it was just a pretense. He naturally wouldn't actually go to find the three of them; no one knew better than him what they were doing.

Because the three of them frequently ran away from home, Song Xiaodie went to complain to the counselor.

As a result, the counselor called the three of them into his office.

Under the counselor's persistent questioning, the three revealed their intention to start another business. Because of their previous ventures, they had become role models and exemplars of entrepreneurship. Upon learning this, the counselor naturally did not criticize them but instead offered great support. She specifically instructed Song Xiaodie not to keep an eye on the three and to allow them the privilege of not participating in certain activities.

Although Song Xiaodie was angry, she had no choice but to listen to her advisor. However, every time she saw the three of them, including Zhou Chen, she would snort and then haughtily raise her head and walk away.

The news of the three starting a business again spread like wildfire and quickly reached the department. Many students were curious and approached to inquire, trying to join in.

The fact that the three people made money using game cheats made many people envious, and everyone wanted to get a piece of the pie.

However,

All three of them refused without exception, even though they knew it would offend people. This was Zhou Chen's brilliant idea for the three of them, and they would not share it with anyone unless Zhou Chen asked them to.

The speed at which the three worked surprised Zhou Chen; on the fifth day alone, they secured a mobile communications contract.

Zhou Chen was curious about how the three of them had reached an agreement.

After learning more about it, it turned out that the three of them had benefited from the school's preferential treatment. The person in charge of mobile communications at Yanjing University was also a graduate of Yanjing University, making him a senior. Because of this relationship, and the novel model of topping up phone bills through Taobao, this senior decided to give the three of them a chance.

It has to be said, the three of them were really lucky.

It would have been difficult for anyone else to win; it has to be said that sometimes, luck plays a very important role.

Zhou Na's university life also began.

Unlike last semester, when Zhou Na was constantly trying to save money and earn money for tuition and living expenses, even wishing she could work ten jobs a day, this time after the start of the semester, she no longer scrimped and saved and made great improvements in her food and clothing.

This change was undoubtedly very surprising to Zhou Na's classmates and three roommates, who were also very curious about what had happened to her and where her money came from.

Zhou Na naturally wouldn't explain this, even though the other party was her roommate.

Walking on campus, I felt the stares from unfamiliar classmates.

Zhou Na stood tall and proud, confident and self-assured. Before, she had felt somewhat inferior because of her plain clothes. Although she told herself countless times that she didn't need to feel inferior, other girls dressed up beautifully while she dressed plainly to save money. Standing in the crowd, she felt like an ugly duckling.

But now, she is different; she has become dazzling and receives a lot of attention.

She can wear pretty clothes, use brand-name cosmetics, and carry designer bags, just like other female classmates.

But Zhou Na didn't know that not long after, some negative comments about her began to spread in her class, then in her department, and eventually throughout the entire school.

"Brother Kun, you're amazing! This is the taste! It's not exactly the same, but it's very similar. I even think that the milk tea you make is better than Zhou Chen's."

When Zhou Ling took a sip of the milk tea that Zhao Kun had mixed himself, her face showed both surprise and delight.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Kun looked smug. "Milk tea, milk tea, its essence is nothing more than milk and tea, it's not that difficult. I'm not quite able to imitate it well yet, but that's okay. I'll try it for a few more days, and I estimate the taste will be similar. In fact, I've even thought of flavors that Mixue Ice Cream doesn't have. When that happens, I'll use the new flavors as my trump card to snatch all of their business."

"Brother Kun, you're amazing! I knew I wasn't wrong, you are the most outstanding man."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling's face lit up with admiration.

“My son is the best, of course. Zhou Ling, it is your greatest blessing to marry my son Xiao Kun. Sooner or later, my son will become a very, very rich boss, and you will enjoy endless happiness then.”

Just then, Old Mrs. Zhao's voice suddenly rang out from behind.

Zhou Ling's expression stiffened slightly, but she did not refute it.

She had promised Zhao Kun that she wouldn't hold a grudge against Old Mrs. Zhao, as long as Old Mrs. Zhao could help her take care of her daughter Zhao Xiaoya, she could tolerate some of Old Mrs. Zhao's bullying behavior.

Just two days ago, after being persuaded by Zhao Kun, Grandma Zhao agreed to take care of her granddaughter Zhao Xiaoya.

"Brother Kun, let's celebrate our new business breakthrough. How about we go shopping now?"

Zhou Ling suddenly suggested that she didn't want to argue with Old Mrs. Zhao, so she should reduce her time with her.

Taking this opportunity, she discussed with Zhao Kun about renting another house so that Old Mrs. Zhao could move out.

Living under the same roof as Old Mrs. Zhao is not only inconvenient, but also prone to conflict.

She didn't have the means before, but now, Zhou Ling has plenty of money to pay for rent.

"Okay, this is a good opportunity to buy a few outfits for Dad and Mom."

Zhao Kun nodded without objecting. He recalled that day on the main street when he met several tall, stylishly dressed women, and immediately added, "Wife, you should also buy a few outfits, in bright colors. I see a lot of people wearing them, and they would definitely suit you well."

Seeing that Zhao Kun was thinking of her, Zhou Ling was touched. "Brother Kun, you're so kind. You can pick out clothes for me later. Whichever one you like, we'll buy it."

Zhao Kun responded with a "okay".

Zhou Ling's face was beaming with happiness. Little did she know the real reason behind Zhao Kun's offer to buy her clothes.
