"It seems you've already guessed who I am. Yes, just as you thought."
"Of the three of you siblings, you were the first one I met. Do you know why? Because you are the only one who is most like me. You are ambitious, have clear goals, and are willing to work hard for them."
“I know even better that the person you most want to surpass is Zhou Chen.”
"If I give you enough money to start your own business, are you confident you can beat him?"
Zhou Haide said calmly, wearing a trench coat and leather gloves, and looked at Zhou Na with a faint smile.
Zhou Na did not flinch, meeting Zhou Haide's gaze directly.
The father and daughter stared at each other for several seconds.
final,
Zhou Na spoke first, "I am confident."
"Okay, that's the answer I've been wanting to hear. If you don't even have the confidence to surpass him, I'll be very disappointed in you. No matter what the outcome, since you dared to challenge him, I'll lend you a hand and give you the ability to compete with him."
After saying this, Zhou Haide stuffed a bank card into Zhou Na's hand without saying how much money was in it. He only told Zhou Na that she could use the money as she pleased. Then, without saying anything more, he got into the car and left.
Since talking with Secretary Wang and learning about her biological father, Zhou Haide, Zhou Na has imagined countless times what it would be like for the two of them to meet for the first time. She thought about having a meal with Zhou Haide, or walking on campus and him asking about her past life, and so on.
But no one expected that Zhou Haide would leave only a bank card and then turn and leave.
Watching the car drive away,
Zhou Na suddenly shrugged and let out a soft breath, because this result was just right for her, and it was exactly what she wanted.
Her personality is different from Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan. Even when facing her father Zhou Haide, she would not think of pleasing him, because she felt that she did not owe Zhou Haide anything. On the contrary, Zhou Haide had not fulfilled his duties and responsibilities as a father.
Therefore, she won't be overly enthusiastic.
This explains why, after guessing Zhou Haide's identity, she never showed any significant emotional reaction throughout the entire process.
Now that Zhou Haide has given her money to support her business, and is aware of Zhou Chen's existence, he must have some understanding of the lives of the three siblings.
She naturally wouldn't refuse.
First, she believed she should take the money; Zhou Haide owed her.
Secondly, she does want to surpass Zhou Chen in business. She has always had this idea, but she couldn't realize it because she didn't have the start-up capital. In the past, she could only think about it, but now, with Zhou Haide's financial support, she can turn her idea into reality.
Secondly, she has recently learned a lot about management and business skills, and she is eager to test her knowledge and see how big the gap is between herself and Zhou Chen.
After putting her bank card away, Zhou Na returned to the classroom, attracting the attention of many classmates.
The meeting between the father and daughter was witnessed by a passing classmate, and the news quickly spread throughout the class. Because Zhou Haide's attire and demeanor made him seem unusual, more people became curious about who Zhou Haide was and what he wanted with Zhou Na.
In addition, Zhou Na's lifestyle has changed drastically since the start of this semester, as if she has suddenly become rich, which naturally attracts more attention.
But soon, her brows furrowed, and a flash of anger appeared in her eyes.
Because she heard some unpleasant comments, such as that she was a lover who sold her body for money.
With a quick glance, Zhou Na saw who was spreading rumors.
When Zhou Na saw that the other person was a female classmate with whom she used to have a good relationship and occasionally ate in the cafeteria together, she was stunned for a few seconds.
The female student was caught red-handed and was visibly embarrassed, but she quickly regained her composure and even deliberately showed a look of disdain in her eyes, saying sarcastically, "Zhou Na, please be mindful of your words. This is a school, not a public place. You actually let someone come to your door in person. If word gets out, it's not just a matter of damaging the class's reputation, but it's a matter of damaging the school's reputation."
Faced with the labeling from a former classmate, Zhou Na took a deep breath and then coldly retorted:
"If you have evidence, please report me to the counselor. If you don't, don't spread rumors in class. If I hear you slandering me behind my back again, I will call the police and sue you for defamation."
In front of the whole class, Zhou Na showed the other party no respect whatsoever.
Since others don't respect her, she won't respect them either.
Upon hearing this, the female classmate's pupils contracted, and she didn't dare to say anything more.
The classroom was completely silent until a moment later, when things returned to normal, with occasional glances directed at Zhou Na.
Back in her seat, Zhou Na felt a little upset because the female classmate who had just spread rumors about her came from a similarly poor family. The two had shared similar experiences, and Zhou Na was thinking of asking the other girl to help her with her business, just like Zhou Chen had Xu Dalong, Li Kaile, and others who helped her start her business.
It's truly disheartening that this female classmate would speak of her like that behind her back.
She simply couldn't understand why the other person would do that.
Before long, Zhou Na's three roommates came to her side and asked who Zhou Haide was. Zhou Na did not hide anything and said directly that he was her father.
After a brief moment of surprise, the three roommates told the whole class about it to help Zhou Na clear her name.
Only then did the students in the class learn the truth.
The female student who spread the rumor became a laughing stock and ran out of the classroom in utter embarrassment.
In front of a hotel,
"Mr. Zhou, he lives here, in room 2205."
Secretary Wang stood respectfully beside Zhou Haide and clearly and accurately stated Zhou Chen's room number.
"Secretary Wang, tell me, at such a young age, he has achieved such business success. Is it due to his own abilities, or is someone helping him behind the scenes?"
Zhou Haide looked up at the tall buildings and suddenly asked a question.
After a moment's thought, Secretary Wang said, "President Zhou, I think both possibilities exist. Others may think that he is young and it is impossible for him to do so well in all the fields he is involved in on his own. But I don't think so. If he didn't have the ability, he couldn't have succeeded with that kind of family background. Even if there is an element of luck, isn't luck also a kind of strength? So I think we can't underestimate him."
"oh?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Zhou Haide's eyes. "Then do you think Zhou Na can beat him and surpass him in business?"
"The young lady is most like you, she definitely won't lose."
Secretary Wang said in a deep voice.
Ha ha……
Zhou Haide laughed loudly, then stroked his chin and said lightly, "Secretary Wang, you've started to learn how to flatter too. Zhou Na wants to surpass him? Heh... she's still far from it. This kid can dominate the business world and profit repeatedly in the stock market. He's no ordinary person."
