"When you see Zhou Chen again, why doesn't anyone take a picture of him and post it in the group so I can see how this old migrant worker classmate is doing these days?"
"No one is taking pictures, maybe they're disgusted by his muddy appearance."
"Or is he too ashamed to attend?"
"As expected, I wasn't wrong. He's too ashamed to meet you. After all, he's a loser, so at least he has some self-awareness."
In the group chat, Zhao Kai mocked everyone without any regard for others, showing no mercy whatsoever.
Although some classmates advised him against his actions, thinking they were a bit excessive, Zhao Kai did not back down. He seized the opportunity and was determined not to miss it.
In particular, when Wu Yuxue and others gathered, they didn't mention anything about Zhou Chen, which means that Zhou Chen must be doing poorly and is still working on a construction site. There's nothing to talk about with him.
Zhao Kai still harbored resentment about being rejected by Wu Yuxue, believing that Zhou Chen's existence was the reason for his rejection. In high school, he had no advantages and it was very difficult for him to regain face from Zhou Chen. Now that his family had achieved some success and Zhou Chen was doing so poorly, how could he let this opportunity pass him by?
They must be severely criticized; no amount of persuasion will change that.
Zhao Kai had no idea that his erratic behavior was utterly ridiculous in front of Wu Yuxue, Liu Lei, and Wang Qiang.
How could you, Zhao Kai, possibly compare to Zhou Chen today?
Even they don't have that qualification.
"He's like a clown, thinking he can look down on others, but he doesn't realize that he's the one being looked down on."
Liu Lei gave a cold laugh.
"He who laughs at others will eventually be laughed at himself. How could he know that he himself is the biggest joke? Being carried away by his own triumph and the saying 'extreme joy turns to sorrow' are most fitting descriptions for him."
Wang Qiang then said.
Zhang Dong and Lu Ye both wore cold smiles. Zhao Kai had gone too far, recklessly mocking others in the group without any regard for human feelings. This kind of extreme behavior was truly detestable.
Wu Yuxue didn't speak because she had already posted in the group chat.
"Zhou Chen is a hundred times better off than you."
You have no right to laugh at him.
If Zhou Chen were in the group, Wu Yuxue didn't know how Zhou Chen would respond to Zhao Kai's comments, but she felt there was no better way than to directly refute him.
Zhao Kai, who was talking to himself, was slightly taken aback when he saw Wu Yuxue's comment.
Is Zhou Chen doing better than him?
A hundred times stronger?
Zhao Kai found it amusing. No matter how well Zhou Chen did in a small place like Fanjia County, how well could he really do? He was just a lowly migrant worker, a lowly laborer working for someone else.
He didn't believe Wu Yuxue's words at all. He thought Wu Yuxue was just trying to protect Zhou Chen and that it was wishful thinking to try and deceive him.
“Wu Yuxue, if you want to speak up for him, at least come up with a more plausible reason. Don’t you think it’s a bit far-fetched to just say he’s a hundred times better than me?”
"You did that on purpose, didn't you? You said it on purpose, but it's too fake. I'm putting this out there today: if Zhou Chen is really a hundred times better than me, I'll apologize to him and I'll write my name backwards from now on."
Zhao Kai quickly sent a message.
Liu Lei: "You clown, you dare to compare yourself to Zhou Chen? You're not even worthy to carry his shoes. Don't think that just because you have some money at home, you're rich. Zhou Chen is much richer than you."
Um?
Seeing Liu Lei also jump out to defend Zhou Chen, Zhao Kai raised an eyebrow and immediately typed a reply: "You guys planned this together, didn't you? You're all praising Zhou Chen, but unfortunately, facts speak louder than words. If you're going to praise him like this, then show us the evidence. Stop making things up. It's not worth it for a migrant worker. What can he bring you? You might as well curry favor with me. After you graduate, I can introduce you to better jobs."
The classmates who didn't attend the gathering and were located in other places weren't particularly surprised to see Wu Yuxue and Liu Lei defending Zhou Chen and speaking up for him, because Zhao Kai had indeed gone too far. However, they, like Zhao Kai, had doubts about whether Zhou Chen was really that capable.
In a small place like Fanjia County, no matter how successful Zhou Chen is, how much development can he achieve? Besides, everyone knows about Zhou Chen's family situation. His parents passed away unexpectedly, leaving only him and his three siblings. As the eldest brother, Zhou Chen has to support the whole family. With so many burdens, how can he earn more than Zhao Kai's parents?
Although they all disliked Zhao Kai's nouveau riche attitude, they had to admit that his parents were indeed impressive. In just two years, they earned five or six hundred thousand yuan, which is two or three hundred thousand yuan a year. Many families don't save that much money in their entire lives.
While everyone was silently watching the show,
Wang Qiang, Zhang Dong, and Lu Ye also spoke up, all pointing their fingers at Zhao Kai.
The entire Fanjia County knows about Zhou Chen's deeds; only those of them who have left Fanjia County and are living elsewhere are unaware.
Faced with Zhao Kai's despicable behavior, they didn't want him to continue being so arrogant.
They had long been annoyed by Zhao Kai's flaunting of wealth in the group chat, but there was nothing they could do about it before. However, now that Zhou Chen was a boss and on TV, his future was destined to be extraordinary, giving everyone enough confidence to give him a good stern rebuke.
Zhao Kai hadn't expected that Wu Yuxue and the others would all speak up for Zhou Chen.
He felt even more angry and annoyed. Why should he be so good to Zhou Chen? It's been three years. You college students, for the sake of a migrant worker, offend a rich second-generation like me who is becoming increasingly successful. You must have lost your minds.
Since you're all on Zhou Chen's side, that country bumpkin, don't blame me, Zhao Kai, for not giving you face.
then,
Zhao Kai once again challenged the five people with sarcastic remarks, demanding that they speak with facts.
He refused to believe that anyone could prove Zhou Chen was stronger than Zhao Kai.
Liu Lei: "You want evidence, right? Okay, we'll give it to you. I'll tell you, Zhou Chen is repeating a year of high school and has consistently achieved the best grades in the entire school."
Wang Qiang: "I'd like to add that Zhou Chen is still a member of the school team. He participated in the National Youth Track and Field Championships and won the championship. By the way, he declined the invitation from the national team and is now a provincial team athlete."
Zhang Dong: "He has been interviewed by Fengcheng TV and has appeared on television several times. He is a celebrity in Fanjia County and is highly praised by the county and city authorities."
Lu Ye: "He started his own business, selling stinky tofu. He opened shops in multiple cities and had hundreds of franchisees. His net worth is as high as millions."
Wu Yuxue: "Zhao Kai, is this evidence enough? We're waiting for your apology, and we'll write your name backwards."
Whoosh...
With the series of news breaking from the five individuals, everyone else who was initially just watching the show was completely stunned.
Is Zhou Chen that amazing?
First in the whole school? Provincial team athlete? On TV, and has his own business?
Most importantly, Zhou Chen is worth millions.
Is this fake?
What a joke!
