The court hearing has ended.
Gao Dasong, Fang Zhouzhi, and others immediately stood up and hurriedly left with grim faces.
Today was truly embarrassing.
They originally intended to use Zhou Chen's matter for publicity, but unexpectedly, Zhou Chen secretly filmed the entire Zhou family, and the evidence was irrefutable, leaving them with no way to defend themselves.
Zhou Chen wanted them to go to jail, which they couldn't accept. They wanted a reconsideration and a retrial.
"Mr. Gao, now that the truth has come out, how do you feel?"
"For all inquiries, please speak to my lawyer. I refuse to answer any questions."
Gao Dasong didn't linger at all. He left a sentence behind, walked past the reporter, and quickly got into the car.
"Mr. Gao, you've caused such a huge impact on Zhou Chen, shouldn't you publicly apologize to him?"
"Mr. Gao, please answer this question."
However, once inside the car, Gao Dasong remained unmoved by the reporter peering through the window, as if he hadn't seen him at all. He had completely lost the attitude he had when he first arrived. He simply told the driver to drive off, and the car sped away.
"Heh, justice may be absent, but it will never be late. Now he's applying that to himself. How ridiculous."
"As a public figure, he is indeed not rigorous enough to draw conclusions without conducting a serious investigation. I suspect that his previous views on some matters may not have been as he said."
"No wonder Zhou Chen said that he was creating public opinion and making sarcastic remarks about his motherland in some public speeches. He may be a spiritual foreigner."
"Didn't Zhou say that foreigners spend a lot of money to hire people with status to create various domestic conflicts and stir up public opinion to make Chinese people have all sorts of emotions and not love their motherland? Gao Dasong may have been paid for this behind the scenes."
"I just read through some of Fang Zhouzhi's remarks carefully, and it is indeed as Zhou Chen said. This guy has said more than once that foreign countries are good and domestic countries are bad. He even said that the moon is rounder than the one in China. It's simply outrageous."
"Qiao Mu isn't much better. She even said that the air abroad is sweeter than the air in China. I just don't understand. We're all on the same planet. How can air have national borders? Praising others like that is a bit too much."
"Has everyone noticed that Zhou Chen suddenly made us realize that celebrities like Gao Dasong have a problem? They look like Chinese people, but their spirit has become that of foreigners because they genuinely believe that foreign countries are better and that everything in China is problematic."
"Zhou Chen is the most patriotic. We were blinded by greed to question his character."
"As I said before, Zhou Chen is a kind, responsible, and public-spirited person. For every set of past exam papers he sells, he donates one yuan from the profits to charity. At least five students in our school have received Zhou Chen's generous donations."
"I used to be a hater of Zhou Chen, but now I want to be a die-hard fan of Zhou Chen."
The comments from netizens were completely polarized, with many people taking the initiative to leave messages of apology.
This scene was witnessed by Li Kaile, Lu Ye, Xu Dalong, and others.
They all laughed.
Zhou Chen's reputation has finally turned around, and she is no longer the target of widespread criticism.
The scene then cuts to Fang Zhouzhi, whose response is the same as Gao Dasong's: refusing to answer any questions and leaving everything to his lawyer.
"Look, the vice presidents of Tsinghua and Peking Universities are out! Let's go interview them!"
"This old guy is clever. He even got a mask, thinking that others wouldn't recognize him. Wasn't he quite arrogant before, saying that Tsinghua and Peking University didn't welcome Zhou Chen? In my opinion, it's Zhou Chen who doesn't want to go."
"He's deliberately retaliating, jealous that Peking University snatched Zhou Chen away. It has to be Peking University, they didn't follow the crowd, but stuck to their own opinion. From today onwards, I've decided that Peking University is the only top-tier university in the country, and I won't accept any rebuttal."
"We thought Yenching University was going against the will of the people, but we didn't expect it to be the most rational university. We owe Zhou Chen an apology, and we also owe Yenching University an apology."
"I will apologize on the Yenching University website right away."
"I'll go too..."
The Yenching University campus website was immediately flooded with a large number of netizens apologizing, leaving the website administrators dumbfounded, wondering what had happened and how all the positive reviews had turned into positive ones.
at the same time,
In a mountain village, Xu Laoqi looked at the television set that Xu Dalong had bought for his elder brother's house. The television was showing the Zhou family leaving the courthouse, all of them silent and looking as if they had lost their parents. He exclaimed, "Good!"
"Seventh Brother, I heard that the provincial champion is your apprentice. Is that true or false?"
Facing the neighbors watching TV at his older brother's house,
Xu Laoqi chuckled, took out a brand-new cell phone from his pocket, opened the photo album, found a photo of himself and Zhou Chen, and showed it to his neighbor.
"This phone was a gift from my apprentice. It has a game on it that he made."
"I'm not afraid to tell you, the reason I'm able to be a supervisor now is actually thanks to my apprentice."
"Seventh Brother, tell me how he became your apprentice. Having a provincial champion as your apprentice, your life is truly worthwhile. You can't find anyone in the whole village who can compare to you."
With photographic evidence, the neighbors had no choice but to believe it. While envious, they also wondered why someone as capable as Zhou Chen would become the apprentice of Xu Laoqi, a migrant worker.
"It's a long story."
"Back then, my apprentice wasn't as capable or promising as he is now. He was still a little younger. I remember that day was a rainy day..."
With a proud expression, Xu Laoqi reminisced about the first time he met Zhou Chen, telling his neighbors about it.
In the youth studio,
Cai Xiaowei's face went from serious before the court hearing to full of smiles after it ended.
She now realized that Zhou Chen's real purpose in borrowing the camera from her for secret filming was to record the true faces of everyone in the Zhou family.
Without the irrefutable video evidence, and facing the almost unanimous public opinion online, Zhou Chen's life might have truly been ruined.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Chen had anticipated this and secretly took the photos beforehand as a trump card. No wonder she never sensed any worry from Zhou Chen's face or tone.
Because everything was under Zhou Chen's control.
Cai Xiaowei was extremely impressed by Zhou Chen's foresight and vision. As a recent high school graduate, Zhou Chen's maturity and understanding of human nature far surpassed that of his peers. In fact, even she probably couldn't see through Zhou Chen's abilities as well.
She even suspected that an elderly soul might reside within Zhou Chen's body; otherwise, how could he have handled things so meticulously?
