“Brother-in-law, your guess is not unreasonable. I also don’t believe he can come up with so much money to buy fifty bungalows in one go.”
"No matter how profitable the stinky tofu business is, it's impossible for him to earn this much."
After hearing Zhao Kun mention the same name, Zhou Chuan strongly agreed with the guess. How could Zhou Chen, a mere high school student, possibly come up with millions?
With so much money, who would bother going to school? Isn't eating, drinking, and having fun more appealing?
He was genuinely startled, thinking Zhou Chen had risen to prominence and become a millionaire. He was incredibly jealous; why did Zhou Chen have so much money?
But upon hearing the explanation of sharing the same name, my displeasure immediately vanished.
That's right, this Zhou Chen is not the same person as that Zhou Chen.
There are many people in the world named Zhou Chen, so it's normal to have the same name.
With Zhou Chuan's agreement, Zhao Kun was absolutely certain of his guess and planned to report it to Brother Hu truthfully when he got back. If Brother Hu was very angry and took his anger out on Zhou Chen, whom he knew, that would be even better.
Let Zhou Chen experience an undeserved disaster.
I'll also vent his anger.
Thinking about this, Zhao Kun's depressed mood was somewhat relieved.
...
Inside the small restaurant opposite the high school,
After eating and drinking their fill, Sun Tingting and the others prepared to leave.
Today, Zhou Ling specially called out Sun Tingting and several other female classmates who had passed on information from the school to her, and treated them to lunch.
Firstly, it was to win people over, strengthen her clique, and ensure that she could continue to provide a steady stream of firsthand information about Zhou Chen from within the school.
Secondly, it was to show off that her man, Zhao Kun, had taken over a million yuan to buy a house in Fengcheng City.
She apologized for spreading rumors, and later boasted to Zhou Chen, only to be severely humiliated after turning the tables on him. She received a lot of criticism, and many rumors circulated on campus. These words reached her ears through Sun Tingting and others.
Although she outwardly said she didn't care and that a group of strangers had nothing to do with her, how could she truly not care? She just wanted to appear indifferent and didn't want anyone to see her weakness.
Now that Brother Hu has entrusted Zhao Kun with an important task, sending him to Fengcheng on business and spending millions, how could he not boast about such a glorious achievement?
So she suddenly had a brilliant idea and organized this small party.
The effect is obvious.
After she finished speaking, everyone in the group was stunned and envied her for finding such a capable and successful man as Zhao Kun.
Every girl wants to be like her and have a relationship.
Zhou Ling became the winner in the group, envied by everyone, which greatly satisfied her vanity and relieved her of the grievances and gossip she had suffered before.
She believed that once her team members returned to their classes, they would spread what she had said, letting more people know that those who looked down on and laughed at her would definitely regret it.
Zhou Ling and the group arrived at the school gate. She didn't go in, but watched Sun Tingting and the others enter the teaching building. Then she pulled down the brim of her baseball cap and prepared to turn around and leave. Just then, she happened to see Zhou Na walking from the direction of the dormitory building.
"Second Sister!"
Zhou Ling's expression flashed, and she immediately waved her hand and went to meet them.
What brings you here?
Upon seeing Zhou Ling, Zhou Na immediately frowned slightly. Being a head taller than Zhou Ling, Zhou Na's already aloof demeanor appeared even more cold and aloof.
Zhou Ling didn't detect Zhou Na's displeasure and the tone of her voice that she didn't want to see Zhou Ling at the school gate. In Zhou Na's view, Zhou Ling's appearance would only draw the attention of a high school student to her, making her the center of attention.
Especially nowadays, Zhou Ling's reputation is not good. When people talk about her, they mostly do so with disdain. As her older sister, Zhou Na is inevitably affected and collateral damage.
If she hadn't been forced to avoid it, the instant she spotted Zhou Ling, Zhou Na would have preferred to pretend she hadn't seen her and take another route.
"Second sister, I didn't come to see you. I just had dinner with some old classmates."
Zhou Ling smiled.
“Since you’re not going to school anymore, why are you keeping in touch with your old classmates? There’s no need to waste money on them. Now that you’re married and have children, live your own life well and don’t waste your energy and money on irrelevant people. It’s not worth it.”
Zhou Na's expressionless reminder was also a form of education. She felt that Zhou Ling was engaging in completely useless socializing. Since she was not going to school, she should sever all ties with her old circle. Lingering connections were meaningless because it would be difficult to have any further contact in the future.
People who go to school and those who don't will simply belong to two different circles.
Like her, her roommates ignored her, but she still lived a good life without having to pretend. Everyone went their own way.
She believed that Zhou Ling should be like her; she had no friends, and Zhou Ling shouldn't have any friends either, or have more friends than her.
Zhou Ling was unaware that her growing closer to her former classmate and having dinner together aroused a slight jealousy in Zhou Na. She didn't understand Zhou Na's true meaning and only thought that Zhou Na didn't want her to waste money.
But she felt that spending a little money to treat Zhou Chen to a meal was nothing compared to getting firsthand information about Zhou Chen at school.
Besides, she didn't have many friends to begin with, especially after Zhao Kun started hanging out with Brother Hu. She often didn't see him all day. She wanted to brag to someone or share her feelings, but she couldn't find anyone. Not contacting these old classmates would make her feel that life was very boring.
He smiled and agreed with Zhou Na's statement, but in his heart, he would still do things his own way.
She wouldn't listen to Zhou Na and cut off contact with others.
"By the way, second sister, I have some good news to tell you."
Zhou Ling didn't forget an important point, and immediately recounted what she had told her old classmates earlier about Zhao Kun taking over a million yuan to buy a house in Fengcheng.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Na's face flashed with surprise, revealing an astonished expression.
Seeing this, Zhou Ling was very pleased and extremely proud. She guessed that Zhou Na would be shocked. She had now successfully proven that her judgment was absolutely correct.
"President Hu values Xiao Kun very much. Once Xiao Kun handles this matter well, he will definitely be valued even more when he returns."
Zhou Ling continued speaking proudly.
Zhou Na truly never expected that Zhao Kun, that good-for-nothing, would be valued so highly by a wealthy boss, who would allow him to manage over a million yuan.
Seeing Zhou Ling's proud expression, Zhou Na felt a little displeased but didn't show it. She was thinking of finding an excuse to leave, not caring about how much Zhao Kun's future would develop.
Because she never looked down on Zhao Kun, a street thug, for being able to make something of himself, but now that Zhao Kun has become successful, she feels very unbalanced.
Just then,
Just as Zhou Na was about to speak, she saw the police car suddenly stop, and two people got out of the car and headed straight for the two sisters.
