Zhou Na was very annoyed by Zhou Ling's plea for help.
She hates trouble the most. In the past, whether it was Zhou Ling or Zhou Chuan, Zhou Chen would solve the problems. She didn't need to worry at all and could focus on her own things.
But ever since the family split up and she broke up with Zhou Chen,
Originally, Zhou Chen's tasks all fell to her. Now, she was asked to come up with ideas and find ways to keep Zhao Kun's heart.
Zhou Na felt deep contempt for people like Zhao Kun.
As a grown man, he lacked any sense of responsibility. He neglected his pregnant wife, went out and had affairs, and even allowed her to cause a scene at the wedding, making it public knowledge and causing Zhou Ling to lose face.
If it were Zhou Ling, she would have slapped her across the face long ago.
"Second sister, you're the only one who can help me now."
Zhou Ling sobbed, sounding very pitiful. Zhou Na felt a surge of disappointment and thought to herself, "Isn't this the man you insisted on choosing? What's the use of crying now? Where were you before?"
But she couldn't bring herself to say those words.
When discussing Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun's relationship, she initially supported it, believing in the freedom of love and even criticizing Zhou Chen's opposition from a moral high ground.
As it turned out, Zhou Chen was right.
Zhao Kun is not a trustworthy person and is not a good man, but can she say that? If she does, she will be contradicting herself.
It might even draw complaints from Zhou Ling, because even now, all Zhou Ling wants is to return to the initial passionate state of her relationship with Zhao Kun, not to leave him.
Is this what they call being love-struck?
Zhou Na suddenly recalled a word Zhou Chen used to describe Zhou Ling, and she now felt it was very apt: Zhou Ling was blinded by love, and even though Zhao Kun betrayed her, she still clung to her cheap and ridiculous love.
Fortunately, she wasn't like Zhou Ling, who was head over heels in love.
Zhou Na took this as a warning and secretly told herself that she would never become like Zhou Ling in the future. Then, she gave her advice.
After learning from Zhou Na, Zhou Ling was in a great mood. "Second Sister is right. If you want to win a man's heart, you have to win his stomach. If I cook three meals a day well, Brother Kun will think about coming home for meals every day instead of fooling around outside."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Ling began to think about what delicious food to make to keep Zhao Kun by her side, while also imagining the surprised scene of Zhao Kun eating the food she made.
She wanted to be a virtuous wife and mother, a good wife.

After the mock exams, the Chinese New Year holiday is just around the corner.
Although it's only a short 15 days, it's a very long holiday for senior high school students whose time is completely consumed by studying.
Lu Guoliang decided to take advantage of this period to take Zhou Chen to the provincial team for a week of special training, which would also broaden his horizons.
Zhou Chen felt somewhat awkward in the face of Lu Guoliang's kindness.
He had promised Sun Wanying that he would go to Fengcheng during the holidays, but if he went to the provincial team, he would have to break his promise.
Moreover, he knew that talent alone was not enough to achieve better results; scientific skills and methods were also needed.
These are things he lacks, and even Lu Guoliang is somewhat deficient in.
Therefore, they all have to study and pursue further education.
Zhou Chen still agreed to go.
When Zhou Chen brought up the matter with Sun Wanying, although Sun Wanying expressed her support, Zhou Chen knew that Sun Wanying must be somewhat disappointed.
to this end,
He had no choice but to try every means to please Sun Wanying. Through Zhang Dafu, he found a flower shop and sent a bouquet of flowers to Sun Wanying every day.
This made Sun Wanying stand out in the company, with many people curious about the identity of the person who sent the flowers.
Meanwhile, people are speculating about what Sun Wanying's boyfriend looks like!
Zhou Chen was unaware of all this. He was preparing for his special training with the provincial team. He didn't need to worry about the stinky tofu business in Fanjia County; he could leave it entirely to Li Kaile.
Li Kaile is now very skilled at managing the small shop, making a net profit of about 700 yuan per day. After deducting employee and shop expenses, he earns a decent amount.
Xu Dalong has been very busy these days, traveling to different places and cities almost every day.
Because he is responsible for the franchisees' store location selection, decoration and other issues, he hardly has any rest time. Even if he returns to Fanjia County, he stays for one night and then goes on another business trip the next day.
Xu Dalong's hard work has paid off. All franchisees feel that joining the franchise is reliable, and they highly approve of Xu Dalong, giving them even more confidence in running the stinky tofu business.
During this period, Xu Dalong grew a lot. He was no longer a quiet and reserved person. He became much more talkative, and his personality became noticeably more cheerful.
Pin Chou Fang Company also has another employee that cannot be ignored, namely Li Juan's husband, He Jun, who is currently responsible for delivering the sauce and also frequently travels to various places.
Faced with He Jun, who is down-to-earth, hardworking, and able to endure hardship,
Zhou Chen offered to raise He Jun's salary, which greatly motivated He Jun. Moreover, as the number of franchisees increased, Zhou Chen decided to hire two more people to handle sauce delivery, which He Jun would manage, effectively giving He Jun a minor promotion.
There's actually not much to explain.
It's nothing more than some precautions and how to deal with emergencies where you can't contact him.
Before the holiday, the class held a party.
After the excitement subsided, everyone began their respective holiday activities.
At the school gate, Zhou Chen saw a familiar figure from behind; it was Zhou Na.
Unlike the other students who were all pushing their suitcases out of the dormitory building, as everyone was preparing to go home, Zhou Na was the only one walking inside.
Does Zhou Na still live in the school dormitory?
Zhou Chen was unaware that, as far as he knew, the school would be empty and the dormitories would be closed during the Spring Festival.
Zhou Chen was certain that Zhou Na wouldn't go back to her old home.
So, where will Zhou Na stay?
After thinking for a while, Zhou Chen shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
Where Zhou Na lives has absolutely nothing to do with him, so why should he meddle so much?
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Zhou Chen rode his bicycle home, humming a little tune.
On the other end,
As Zhou Na walked into the dormitory building, watching others carrying large and small bags downstairs, she felt a mix of emotions. They had homes to return to, but where could she go?
She has no home now.
In the past, although she didn't like going back to that house, she would still go back, and it was perfectly legitimate.
Now, that home is still there, but she is too ashamed to go back and live there.
Students passing by cast strange glances at her, but Zhou Na lowered her head and avoided their eyes, not wanting to make eye contact or be asked where she was going on vacation.
She quickened her pace and fled, returning to her private dormitory room in the shortest possible time.
As she closed the door and listened to the students' footsteps and excited chatter in the corridor, Zhou Na's loneliness deepened.
I wonder if their biological parents, who abandoned the three siblings back then, regret it now?
Where are they now...?
