Wu Yuxue and others revealed Zhou Chen's various deeds, like bombs exploding simultaneously.
"Impossible, that's too fake, you guys must be joking."
"He's on TV? A provincial team athlete? My God, that's the funniest joke I've ever heard."
"I see you've all become obsessed with protecting him. I really don't know what kind of spell he's cast on you. Please wake up!"
Zhao Kai immediately sent a laughing emoji to express his doubts.
Not only did Zhao Kai not believe it, but the others in the group were equally unable to believe that these things really happened to one person, and that this person was an old classmate from three years ago. They simply couldn't connect the dots.
"Wu Yuxue, are you kidding me?"
"Stop joking around, just tell the truth. Even if Zhou Chen isn't doing well, we won't laugh at him. It's fine for you to defend Zhou Chen, but it's really a bit exaggerated."
"It feels like Zhou Chen has been mythologized. People should look at a person with new eyes after three days of separation, but he shouldn't have changed so much."
Other classmates in the group also believed that the group had resorted to this tactic to protect Zhou Chen.
“You can ask around in Fanjia County and you’ll know whether we’re just making things up.”
Liu Lei made a statement in the group that she was not afraid of being tested and let everyone inquire about it.
Upon hearing Liu Lei's words, the people in the group began to take it seriously and re-examine the bombshell news they had just heard.
"True gold fears no fire; you can find out for yourself whether it's real or fake by asking around."
Wu Yuxue followed suit and spoke up.
Seeing Wu Yuxue's confident words, the skeptical people in the group became more convinced, but they still didn't completely believe her.
Because all those things happened to Zhou Chen, it was particularly unbelievable.
Zhou Chen is indeed excellent, but it's impossible for her to be this excellent.
For a time, apart from Zhao Kai still making doubtful and mocking remarks, the others in the group were mostly silent, and instead went to contact their connections in Fanjia County to inquire about related matters.
"You've touted a migrant worker as a millionaire. Even if it's fake, at least make it look plausible. Listen to yourselves, do you really believe this?"
"He's a provincial team athlete, yet he turned down an invitation from the national team. I'd be impressed if he even made it into the school team. This is just ridiculous."
Zhao Kai continued to attack, he simply didn't believe Zhou Chen was that outstanding.
At the school gate,
Wu Yuxue, Wang Qiang, Liu Lei, Lu Ye, and Zhang Dong did not continue arguing with Zhao Kai. They had already said that the other classmates would believe it after they found out. As for Zhao Kai, they would just let him immerse himself in his own world.
A frog in a well will naturally not believe anything about the world outside.
"The evidence is here!"
suddenly,
Liu Lei's eyes lit up, and she quickly said to the others.
Upon hearing this, the other four people checked the group messages.
It turns out that a male classmate sent a screenshot to the group chat. It was a news report about the National Youth Track and Field Championships, and the champion in the report was Zhou Chen.
"Wow, really? Zhou Chen won the national championship? That's amazing!"
"I'm impressed, is this Zhou Chen, an old classmate I know?"
People in the group started popping up again, shocked by the content of the news report screenshot, because Zhou Chen's name was indeed on it, and it even clearly stated that Zhou Chen was from Fengcheng.
at the same time,
In a seafood market,
A bespectacled, shifty-eyed young man was standing behind a middle-aged couple hawking seafood, holding his phone and carefully examining a screenshot in front of him.
Is Zhou Chen really a track and field champion?
impossible!
This can't be real, how could Zhou Chen be so amazing?
Zhao Kai was utterly incredulous.
Seeing everyone else in the group praising Zhou Chen, Zhao Kai clenched his fists, gritting his teeth in jealousy, feeling that all the spotlight had been stolen by Zhou Chen in an instant.
Why did he lose to a migrant worker?
He should be working on a construction site for someone else, not trying to be an athlete and make a name for himself.
Damn it!
suddenly,
Zhao Kai's heart skipped a beat, and he smiled, because he had thought of a reason to question again.
"You're jumping to conclusions too early. It's just a news story. Even if the champion is named Zhou Chen and comes from Fengcheng, it doesn't necessarily mean it's him. There are many people with the same name. What if there are other people named Zhou Chen in Fengcheng?"
A smug look appeared on Zhao Kai's face. What he said made perfect sense. Who knew if it was just a coincidence, a chance encounter with the same name?
"Yes, that possibility does exist."
"It seems that this matter still needs to be verified."
"Is it really such a coincidence? I don't really believe it."
Some people think Zhao Kai's statement makes sense, while others think the possibility of having the same name is unlikely.
"He's stubborn as a mule; you have to present him with the evidence before he'll shut up."
Liu Lei snorted, quite angry at Zhao Kai.
The others were also surprised that Zhao Kai was so persistent, still stubbornly believing that they were lying.
Sudden,
The classmate who previously shared the screenshot in the group has posted another one. This time, the screenshot not only includes the media outlet's name, but most importantly, it features a photo of Zhou Chen receiving a medal.
"It's confirmed, there are pictures to prove it, Zhou Chen really is the champion, this is a report from Suzhou TV."
"My old classmate is amazing! Who would have thought I had a track and field champion classmate? Zhou Chen is awesome."
"Amazing! I admire you!"
"He truly deserves to be called the pride of Fanjia County, a man praised by both the county and the city."
The previous doubts vanished instantly with the release of these screenshots, and no one questioned the matter anymore; public opinion completely sided with Zhou Chen.
Zhao Kai was dumbfounded. He stared at the person in the screenshot. It really was Zhou Chen. It was a photo taken in a stadium, and it also showed the release time and source. It belonged to official media, leaving no room for doubt.
"Even if it's true, so what? He just won a national track and field championship, not a world championship. What's so great about that?"
Zhao Kai posted a sarcastic comment.
Liu Lei: "Is it really that hard to acknowledge that others are excellent?"
Wang Qiang: "Of all your parts, the hardest is your mouth."
Liu Dong: "You know how to comfort yourself and have a deep understanding of the 'spiritual victory method'."
The group, feeling indignant towards Zhao Kai, retorted sharply.
Zhao Kai remained defiant and retorted, "It's just that one thing is true, but that doesn't cover up the fact that the other things he boasted about are false."
Zhao Kai is at it again, it's infuriating!
In Zhao Kai's view, he simply wouldn't admit it unless he provided complete proof and irrefutable facts.
But right after he said that, someone shared what they had just inquired about Zhou Chen in the group chat, confirming that what Wu Yuxue and the others had said was all true.
