Zhou Ling didn't believe Zhou Chen could achieve the top score on the list.
But Sun Tingting knew that plagiarism was impossible; who could plagiarize to become the top student in the whole school?
She heard her teacher say that Zhou Chen had answered a question that was beyond the syllabus, something that couldn't be achieved by copying.
Besides, are all proctors idiots?
A famous student like Zhou Chen not only receives special attention from teachers, but also has countless eyes watching him from his classmates in the same exam room.
If Zhou Chen had dared to plagiarize, it would have spread immediately.
After Sun Tingting said these words, Zhou Ling fell silent. Even though she didn't believe it a million times over, she had no choice but to accept the facts.
"Zhou Ling, many teachers at the school are optimistic about Zhou Chen. Based on Zhou Chen's results this time, it is said that he may be even higher than the top scorer in other high schools. He may have the potential to become the top scorer in the city's college entrance examination in the future."
Sun Tingting's words stunned Zhou Ling once again.
Is Zhou Chen a likely candidate to become the top scorer in the city's college entrance examination?
Is he really that good at studying?
How is that possible!
Despite having been out of school for three years, Zhou Chen returned for a few months and became the top seed in the city. Even her second sister, Zhou Na, was never praised like that. What makes Zhou Chen worthy of such high expectations?
“Those teachers are exaggerating. Zhou Chen is the best he can do. It would be good enough if he could stay first in the whole school. To think he could get first place in the whole city? I don’t believe it. It’s a complete fantasy. There’s a limit to how much you can brag. If he was really that good at studying, would he have dropped out of school so easily? They say it’s to give us three siblings the opportunity to go to school, but only he knows the truth. Maybe he just hates going to school and is just making excuses for himself.”
Zhou Ling sneered, and finally, she didn't forget to belittle Zhou Chen, stigmatizing him for being suspended from school.
Sun Tingting chimed in with a couple of comments before the meeting ended.
After hanging up the phone,
Thinking about Zhou Chen taking the top spot on the leaderboard and enjoying immense glory, and then comparing it to his own current situation—his stall business was failing, Zhao Kun had lost his job, and when he went to report Zhou Chen, he not only got beaten up but also ended up in jail, feeling utterly humiliated.
Zhou Ling's eyes reddened with jealousy. Why? Why did Zhou Chen live such a good life, gaining both fame and fortune, while she became a rat crossing the street, hated by everyone?
God is unfair.
People like Zhou Chen, who are cold-blooded and ruthless, deserve to be punished.
"Heaven is blind. What can I do to make him lose everything and become even worse off than me?"
Zhou Ling frowned, deep in thought.
And at that moment,
Suddenly an unfamiliar number rang.
"Hello, is this Xiaoling?"
"It's me, and you are..."
...
After school, Zhou Chen had just returned to his neighborhood.
It immediately attracted a lot of attention, and the previous discussions stopped in an instant.
Zhou Chen ignored them, simply nodding to a few familiar old neighbors before preparing to go upstairs.
"Xiao Zhou, are you really the mysterious person who bought those bungalows in Fengcheng City?"
"I heard the developer gave tens of millions in compensation for the demolition, is that true?"
At this time,
Suddenly, a few questions came from the quiet crowd. All the old neighbors looked at him intently, waiting for his answer.
Even the neighbors know about this?
Zhou Chen frowned slightly. He thought Zhou Ling had only posted the matter at the school gate. It seemed he had underestimated Zhou Ling, that ungrateful wretch. To get revenge on him, she wanted everyone in the entire Fanjia County to know about it.
In an instant, Zhou Chen realized that the neighbors knew about this matter from no one else but Zhou Ling.
"Uncle Liang, Aunt Liu, if I'm lying, would you believe me? If I'm telling the truth, would you be jealous? People should care more about themselves. Think about how much pension you have, whether it's enough for retirement, whether you can afford medical expenses, and whether your children will be filial and come back to take care of you when you can't move."
Zhou Chen threw out a series of questions,
Then,
He left without looking back.
You old folks, how much free time do you have to get an answer from him? I'm not telling you.
They spend all their time gossiping about others and find joy in it, but when it comes to themselves, they remain silent. At this point, they won't utter a word when asked.
Zhou Chen showed absolutely no respect to certain gossipy old people. Why should he tell you about other people's business? What does it have to do with you? Why should he need to explain to you? Who do you think you are? When others are in trouble, you never lend a hand, but when you see that someone seems to have money, you start smiling and showing concern. Where were you all this time?
Thinking back to when he first went to work on the construction site, these old neighbors gossiped about him behind his back.
When their parents passed away, they even laughed at them.
From that time on, he had no good impression of these neighbors. Except for a few kind-hearted elderly people, he didn't tolerate the others.
I don't care who it is!
"This kid, lecturing us, thinks he's so great. He thinks he's something special just because he's on TV, running a business, and making some money."
"That's right. No wonder Zhou Ling and Zhou Na don't talk to him. This Zhou Chen is becoming more and more disrespectful to his elders and has no manners at all. His parents died early, so maybe he's the one who brought them bad luck."
Having lost face because of Zhou Chen, a young man, several old neighbors immediately began to express their dissatisfaction.
Zhou Chen knew the character of these people and knew they would continue to gossip about him behind his back, but he didn't care. Otherwise, he wouldn't have directly confronted these neighbors who were acting like saints and speaking up for Zhou Ling.
morning,
When Zhou Chen entered the classroom, he found that Li Kaile had arrived unusually early today. Li Kaile had spread the news throughout Fanjia County that he had bought a large number of bungalows and received a huge amount of demolition compensation. He believed that the person who exposed this news had ill intentions.
Zhou Chen knew about this yesterday and reassured Li Kaile not to worry, as long as he didn't admit it himself, no one could be sure it was him.
"Brother Chen, I'm worried that someone might try to take advantage of you because of this."
"Why don't you hire a few bodyguards?"
Li Kaile added.
Zhou Chen's expression flickered. He said he was fine, but he was actually a little worried. What if he encountered a desperate criminal who wanted to rob and kill him? Even if he was a reincarnated person, he might not be able to escape unscathed.
But wouldn't that confirm the matter?
Besides, he can't bring bodyguards to class.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Chen decided not to rush. The security in Fanjia County was good, and the county attached great importance to him. After the documentary about him was broadcast, they would pay even more attention to him, which would be like having an extra layer of protection.
If anyone touches him, it's like slapping Fanjia County in the face, and slapping Fengcheng City in the face.
Thinking about this, Zhou Chen couldn't help but want to call the TV station to ask when the documentary would air.
Just as Zhou Chen was thinking this,
His phone suddenly received a text message, and Zhou Chen's eyes lit up when he saw the sender.
It's true what they say, speak of the devil and he appears!
What a coincidence! The documentary aired, and then the news came!
