A few minutes later,
Zhou Ling turned off the QQ group with a gloomy face.
She learned from the group chat that Zhou Chen had made a name for himself again by releasing a set of past exam papers for sale, which were all snapped up in just one day.
If it were just students from a high school in Fanjia County who were buying it, that would be one thing. But it's said that major high schools in the city are also purchasing it and giving it high praise.
Zhou Chen's good deeds are bad deeds for Zhou Ling.
Because she couldn't stand seeing Zhou Chen doing well. A few days ago, it was Zhou Chen who caused her whole family to be thrown into the detention center. This matter had already spread throughout the community, and all the neighbors looked at them with prejudice.
As a result, she can no longer go out as freely as before. Now, wherever she goes, she becomes the center of attention, and people point and whisper behind her back.
She attributed everything to Zhou Chen, believing that Zhou Chen was responsible.
Now that Zhou Chen is in the limelight again, it's no wonder Zhou Ling is happy. Her instinct is to say bad things about this set of practice exam papers and slander Zhou Chen, but when she thinks of how she was repeatedly slapped in the face before, and Zhou Na's reminder, she immediately suppresses the thought.
Thinking of Zhou Na, Zhou Ling felt that Zhou Na would be greatly affected at school, especially since the whole school would be discussing and praising Zhou Chen in front of her, which would definitely make her feel much worse than she did.
She immediately dialed Zhou Na's number, wanting to offer some comfort.
However,
Before she could finish talking about the practice test paper Zhou Chen had created, Zhou Na reminded her again not to provoke Zhou Chen.
"Second sister, I won't provoke him, don't worry. By the way, are you free tomorrow night? Mom and Dad want you to come over for dinner."
"I'm too busy, I don't have time."
Hearing Zhou Na's firm refusal, Zhou Ling was somewhat disappointed. "Are you still blaming me for not listening to you before? Second sister, I was wrong. I will definitely listen to you from now on."
"I'm not blaming you, I just don't want to eat with them, that's all."
Seeing that Zhou Na still harbored resentment towards her parents, Zhou Ling was about to persuade her when Zhou Na hung up early, using the excuse of needing to study.
"What I need to do now is to find a way to clear up my second sister's misunderstanding of Mom and Dad, and get her to accept them, instead of making things difficult for Zhou Chen. Once my fourth brother is released from the detention center, our family of five can truly be reunited."
Zhou Ling decided that the most important thing was to stop provoking Zhou Chen and resolve the conflicts within her family.
It must be said that, after many experiences and lessons, Zhou Ling has become a little smarter. She knows that she can no longer spread rumors. If she wants to take revenge, she must have a reasonable excuse and a point that can be used to make a move.
These conditions do not currently exist, and following the old methods will only put her in an awkward situation.
...
The sale of past exam papers has sparked attention and discussion in what was once a class group chat.
It wasn't Zhou Chen who actively promoted it, nor was it Lu Ye who said it; rather, someone accidentally discovered the actual exam paper and shared it in the group.
The students were naturally amazed by Zhou Chen's ability to create exam papers with real questions.
After finishing his long phone conversation with Sun Wanying, Zhou Chen glanced at the group chat and, seeing that everyone knew, he didn't hide anything and revealed that he had done this with Lu Ye, and that it was currently in the early stages of their startup.
Upon learning this, others expressed their envy and wanted to join.
Zhou Chen replied with a welcome, explaining that they were currently short-staffed, but if anyone joined, they would only be able to start as a regular employee with a low salary. He knew that these old classmates were all talk; few would actually be willing to work for him.
Early the next morning,
Lu Ye knocked on Zhou Chen's door early in the morning.
Seeing Lu Ye's dark circles under his eyes, clearly indicating he had stayed up all night, Zhou Chen patted him on the shoulder and said, "You've worked hard."
"With so many people recognizing our talent, I must speed things up and race against time to ensure that everyone who needs it can buy our past exam papers."
Lu Ye chuckled, not feeling tired at all. On the contrary, he was full of energy and motivation.
Previously, he was somewhat worried that the test papers they produced wouldn't sell very well, and he had prepared for the worst, thinking that if necessary, they could sell them at a discount.
As a result, nearly 90% of the sales outlets sold out within a day.
To ensure that others could not buy the products, Lu Ye went directly to the printing factory and worked overtime with the workers to print 5,000 sets before dawn, 2,000 more than before.
"Brother Chen, I've replenished all the past exam papers in the supermarkets near the major high schools in Fengcheng City. This afternoon, I plan to contact the major bookstores in Fengcheng City and try to reach a long-term cooperation agreement with them."
Lu Ye did not limit his vision to small supermarket locations; the key was to enter bookstores and establish partnerships with them.
Zhou Chen is also very optimistic about the bookstore sector. After all, many students and parents go to bookstores to find books, and this channel cannot be ignored.
Currently, without e-commerce, traditional brick-and-mortar stores still have a considerable volume of sales.
“Take it slow. Our business has only just begun. Take a nap this morning and get some rest. Contact the bookstore this afternoon.”
"Also, let's get ready. We need to get the second phase done as soon as possible and strike while the iron is hot."
Zhou Chen said slowly.
Lu Ye's expression flashed, and he nodded, knowing that there was a lot of buzz around now and he couldn't let this opportunity slip by.
The two had discussed this before. The first edition of the test paper was compiled from past college entrance examination questions from their respective provinces. Since there are so many provinces in the country, college entrance examination papers from other provinces could also be included.
In this way, it could last for several dozen episodes.
But this is not their end. Thinking of Zhou Chen's plans for this field, Lu Ye only felt deep admiration for Zhou Chen.
Because Zhou Chen's vision was not only far-sighted but also exceptionally profound, taking into account a great deal of things, which made him feel inferior.
Zhou Chen went to school.
Lu Ye returned to the company to rest.
The heated discussion surrounding Zhou Chen, the high school student who achieved the best score in the city, and his creation of a set of authentic exam papers continues.
Some people believe that Zhou Chen is piecing together information from various sources and then using the title of "number one in the city" as a selling point, which is too mercenary and business-like.
However, some people expressed their appreciation, believing that there was nothing wrong with what Zhou Chen did. No one stipulated that high school students could not do this. They also mentioned that Zhou Chen brought glory to Fengcheng and won the championship, believing that Zhou Chen was a rare talent and should be supported and encouraged.
Several newspapers and media outlets have taken notice of this matter and have published extensive reports on it.
The vast majority of reports are objective and impartial.
Only a few were critical.
However, after Fengcheng TV reported that Zhou Chen was a role model for contemporary high school students and an object of learning for all students, these discordant voices disappeared overnight.
