Yenching University is supporting him?
After a brief moment of surprise, Zhou Chen realized the key point: the internet was in an uproar, especially with some unscrupulous media outlets using his status as the top provincial scorer as a topic of discussion.
As a result, Yenching University was also affected and faced criticism, which Yenching University could not possibly ignore.
Leaving Li Wenyan's office,
Zhou Chen was quite touched that the school stood by him. Some schools might immediately distance themselves from him or even join in the condemnation when faced with such a situation, but Yanda University did not do that at all. Instead, they insisted on speaking out for him.
Regardless of how effective it may be, this act alone deserves our gratitude.
“Zhou Chen…”
"...Ah, Senior Qin!"
Zhou Chen was taken aback when he bumped into Qin Yiren in the corridor. Qin Yiren said that she had also seen the news and suggested that Zhou Chen reply to his personal Weibo and issue a statement.
The two exchanged only a few words before Qin Yiren hurriedly took her leave.
Before leaving, he said that he didn't believe Zhou Chen was a heartless businessman.
Watching Qin Yiren walk away, Zhou Chen smiled faintly. Among the people around him, not many were laughing at him; not everyone blindly followed the crowd. The vast majority believed him.
After all, those who can get into Yenching University are all quite intelligent. Apart from a few cunning and extreme individuals, most of them know that there is a factor of business competition involved.
After returning to the dormitory
Zhou Chen discovered that his three roommates were not there. When he went to the washroom to wash his face, he ran into his classmates from the next dormitory. He then learned that Zhang Hao, Wang Rui, and Li Wei had gone to the entrance of the Mi Xue Ice Cream shop to speak up for him and explain the situation.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen quickly left his dormitory and went to the university gate.
As soon as he stepped out of the school gate, he saw his three roommates engaged in a heated verbal battle with those who had been misled.
The scene of the three arguing heatedly with each other deeply moved Zhou Chen.
To prevent a more intense conflict, Zhou Chen immediately stepped forward, stopped the argument, and pulled his three roommates back to their dormitory.
"Thanks, guys."
Zhou Chen handed each of the three a bottle of beverage and said sincerely.
Wang Rui took a sip of his drink, wiped his mouth, and said casually, "Brother Chen, what are you thanking me for? We're all brothers, we're all friends. You helped us a lot back then. If it weren't for you, how could we have made money through cheats?"
Zhang Hao and Li Wei nodded in agreement, echoing each other. They had done what they should do; they couldn't let outsiders bully Zhou Chen.
"Don't argue with them anymore. I'll handle this. The school will also stand up for me."
Zhou Chen told the three of them about what happened at Yanda University.
The three of them immediately showed expressions of surprise and delight.
The group sighed for a while,
Zhou Chen didn't continue on that topic, but instead shifted the focus to game cheats.
"By the way, how's the follow-up communication with Xu Yao going?"
Speaking of this,
Wang Rui and Zhang Hao chuckled, then both turned their gazes to Li Wei.
Li Wei, a shy young man, stammered, "Brother Chen, neither Haozi nor Ruizi are going. They asked me to coordinate with... Miss Xu."
"Ms. Xu has already started promoting it, and the first payment for the collaboration will be settled a month later."
Zhou Chen smiled, said nothing more, and simply sighed, "Seize the opportunity."
"Brother Chen, it's not what you think, you've misunderstood..."
"Ms. Xu and I are just ordinary friends."
Li Wei quickly explained.
Zhang Hao and Wang Rui suddenly burst out laughing, and Zhou Chen couldn't help but chuckle as well. He could tell from Xu Yao's behavior when she first met Li Wei that she was interested in him. For many people, a rich and beautiful woman like her is something they would be eager to have.
Li Wei is incredibly lucky. If he can be with Xu Yao, he can completely leapfrog social classes.
Although Li Wei's family background is far more ordinary than Xu Yao's, love is irrational. The scenario of a rich girl falling in love with a poor boy is not uncommon; in fact, there are many examples of it.
It remains to be seen whether Li Wei will be able to overcome the hurdle of Xu Yao's family.
Zhou Chen believed in Li Wei's abilities. Despite Li Wei's introverted nature, he had an exceptional talent for computers and had a high probability of making a name for himself in this field in the future. At that time, he would not necessarily be considered to be climbing the social ladder.
After chatting with the three for a while, Zhou Chen opened his Weibo account, which he hadn't logged into for several days.
He remembered Qin Yiren's reminder that some people had already stirred up a huge uproar on his Weibo.
A quick glance reveals that they've gained over 20,000 new followers recently.
Soon, he opened Weibo and saw a message in the comments section.
Indeed, many people were arguing below, some questioning him, some cursing him, and of course, some defending him.
For example, he saw some familiar faces.
Li Kaile was constantly arguing with people in the comments section.
There were also his former high school classmates, and some people who looked familiar but whose names he couldn't recall.
I spent more than half an hour looking through it.
Zhou Chen updated her Weibo with just a few words: I will not let anyone down.
then,
Zhou Chen then left and did not continue to pay attention.
Because he knew that some people would continue to stir up trouble and say sarcastic things.
Just after logging off Weibo, Zhou Chen received a message on his phone from a friend in Fengcheng, over a thousand kilometers away.
It was Cai Xiaowei.
Cai Xiaowei said that if he wanted to be interviewed and explain some things through the interview, she could help him so that more people could see it.
Zhou Chen politely declined, knowing that Cai Xiaowei meant well, but the effect of doing so would only be so-so.
Negative news will never disappear.
It's impossible to shut some people up, especially those who are focused on finding fault.
Moreover, Yan Hui's statement on his behalf and the inspection video from the regulatory authorities are sufficient explanations.
at the same time,
In the internet cafe,
Zhou Chuan and Zhou Ling sat in the private room, watching on the computer screen as so many people attacked Zhou Chen's business.
The siblings' faces were filled with joy.
Zhou Chen is in trouble.
With so much public opinion surrounding all of Zhou Chen's businesses, his product sales will plummet.
This is absolutely fantastic!
Of course, the siblings were also among those who joined in the commotion, secretly fanning the flames and adding fuel to the fire.
However, in the past, their actions had a relatively small impact, but now it's different. With Wu Bin's capital operations, the effect has increased a hundredfold.
"Third sister, this time, the economic losses caused to him, if not millions, must be several hundred thousand."
"Zhou Chen's heart must be bleeding right now."
Zhou Chuan said with a smug look on his face.
Zhou Ling nodded, feeling extremely pleased, and snorted, "Let him bully us siblings time and time again. Now, it's finally his turn to suffer. This is what they call 'good and evil will eventually be rewarded.' It's not that they won't be punished, it's just that the time hasn't come yet."
