As the representative of Fengcheng, Zhou Chen won two championships, bringing great honor to Fengcheng and making him the most outstanding among all the sports students representing the city.
As the event ended, the secretary of the Fengcheng leader proactively informed everyone that he would be treating all the school team representatives to dinner that evening.
Before getting on the bus, Zhou Chen thought he saw Su Jiajia's figure, but she was walking very fast and her face was completely covered, so he wasn't sure.
Zhou Chen didn't dwell on it, assuming it was just someone who resembled Su Jiajia.
Once she had completely avoided Zhou Chen's gaze and was certain that he couldn't see her, Su Jiajia patted her flat chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't know if she had been exposed.
With the hat, glasses, and mask on, Zhou Chen probably didn't recognize her.
The entire university team, including other students representing Fengcheng, were all present at a large hotel.
The scene was very lively.
The most outstanding one was Zhou Chen, because he won two championships. All the other school teams combined only had one championship, not as many as him.
This caused Zhou Chen to frequently attract the attention of sports students from other universities.
Zhou Chen could accept the jealousy and envy from the other athletes, but the looks from many coaches were truly frightening, giving the impression that they wanted to snatch him away.
Goodness, are they treating him like a hot commodity?
I know I'm very capable, but you all need to control yourselves and please don't act impulsively.
"Brother Chen, look! Old Lu's smile has never been closed. This is the happiest day I've ever seen Old Lu."
Liu He's voice rang in my ears, his face full of emotion.
Zhou Chen looked over and saw that Lu Guoliang was surrounded by people. Although he couldn't hear what the people around him were saying, he could roughly guess from their expressions that they were all envious.
Zhou Chen was naturally happy to see Lu Guoliang feel proud and honored, and he worked hard for it, after all, Lu Guoliang had spent a lot of effort for him.
Take the incident of Zhou Ling sending the fabricated text messages as an example. Lu Guoliang did not mention his contribution at all, but Zhou Chen learned from the homeroom teacher Wu Yingjie that Lu Guoliang strongly supported him in front of the school leaders and firmly stated that he was innocent.
Furthermore, it was Lu Guoliang who pushed for the previous efforts to secure tuition and fee waivers, scholarships, and other similar opportunities for him.
Not to mention, Lu Guoliang gave him the highest treatment on the entire school team, without the need for special training every night. All the members of the school team were so envious they cried.
How could Zhou Chen let Lu Guoliang down, given how well Lu Guoliang treated him?
Before long, everyone was seated at the table, listening to the leader's speech.
The leaders gave special praise to Zhou Chen and other members of the No. 1 High School team, especially Lu Guoliang, who received praise from several leaders and even had the opportunity to speak. He was the center of attention and enjoyed unparalleled glory.
Because they had classes the next day, the entire school team returned to Fanjia County that very night.
On the way, Lu Guoliang was particularly happy and sang two songs on his own initiative. The members of the school team all joined in the singing, creating a joyful atmosphere.
I arrived home in the early hours of the morning.
The next morning,
Xu Dalong cooked millet porridge and eggs, preparing breakfast early in the morning.
After Zhou Chen finished eating and drinking, he asked Xu Dalong about the progress of his driver's license test. Xu Dalong had just passed the first subject and was now studying for the second subject. He estimated that he should be able to get his driver's license in about half a month.
When he arrived at the school, many people turned their attention to him, and some even gave him a thumbs up.
Clearly, these students watched yesterday's live broadcast and knew that he had won first place again in the 100-meter dash and long jump.
Back in the classroom, the students applauded enthusiastically.
This display of hospitality left Zhou Chen feeling somewhat flattered.
"Zhou Chen, you're amazing."
"Yes, you've brought honor to our Fengcheng."
“My relatives in other cities all know you now; you’re famous.”
His classmates, both male and female, had all sorts of opinions, but without exception, they were all proud that he had won first place.
Back in his seat, Li Kaile hadn't arrived yet.
They got back too late yesterday, so today's morning training session was canceled. Lu Guoliang wanted everyone to rest a little longer.
Zhou Chen, on the other hand, was used to going to bed late and had long since developed a biological clock, so he didn't need an alarm clock and would wake up naturally at the appointed time every day.
I opened the exam paper, did some practice problems, and then Li Kaile arrived.
Li Kaile exclaimed "Awesome!" as soon as he arrived, even happier than Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen didn't continue the topic of winning first place, but asked about the night market help-up session that evening.
Mentioning this, Li Kaile frowned, a hint of anger appearing on his face.
"Brother Chen, to be honest, our stinky tofu business hasn't been doing so well these past few days."
"Some people say that the reason our stinky tofu smells so bad is because we put feces in it."
"This has caused a sharp drop in sales these past two days. As a result, I have to patiently explain to every customer who asks about this, and even so, a considerable number of people still don't believe it."
After listening to Li Kaile's description, Zhou Chen's brows furrowed deeply.
It's obvious that someone is deliberately trying to smear the stinky tofu business and make it suffer.
The person who made this claim is utterly despicable and shameless.
Because it's disgusting.
Even without this incident, it can still cause psychological trauma.
What Zhou Chen was concerned about was who was behind this sabotage. His first suspects were naturally one of those three ingrates, with Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun being the most likely candidates, followed by Zhou Chuan, and Zhou Na being the least likely.
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that other envious people, seeing that his business is doing well, are spreading rumors with the intention of doing as badly as possible.
This issue must be taken seriously; otherwise, the stinky tofu business will be impossible to run.
"Li Kaile, go to the fruit supermarket around noon..."
Zhou Chen gave a few instructions, which made Li Kaile's eyes light up. "But, Brother Chen, can people really believe us just based on this? What if others continue to spread rumors and smear us?"
"Then let's use legal means to find out who spreads the rumors."
Cutting off someone's money is like killing their parents. If someone is doing bad things behind your back, don't blame him for making an example of them.
Zhou Chen had already come up with another method in his mind. Although it might not be able to eradicate the rumors, it could at least have a deterrent effect.
However, this method requires someone's help.
"You want me to draft a lawyer's letter for you?"
“That’s right, Ms. Su. This time I’m asking for your help as a client. Someone is maliciously spreading rumors and smearing my business. I have to take legal action to protect my rights.”
Zhou Chen called Su Jiajia.
Su Jiajia is a professional in this area, so naturally we should consult her.
“The lawyer’s letter is fine, but, if I may be frank, you don’t know who the real rumor-monger is, so even with just the lawyer’s letter, it won’t be of any use,” Su Jiajia explained.
Zhou Chen understood this. "It's alright, I have other ways to minimize the impact of this rumor, but we must use legal means."
"Okay, I'll take this job."
Su Jiajia didn't try to persuade her further.

Happy New Year, comrades! Sending you love!
