Youth Studio
As soon as Cai Xiaowei arrived at the office, she heard people talking about Zhou Chen's name.
what happened?
"Xiaowei, didn't you know? Zhou Chen is the top scorer in the province's college entrance examination, scoring 765.1 points. He was trending on Weibo last night..."
What!
Cai Xiaowei was stunned. She had a terrible headache yesterday and went to bed early, turning off her phone so as not to be disturbed by anyone.
I never expected such a huge bombshell to break the moment I arrived at work today.
Zhou Chen actually scored such a high score!
"Xiaowei, get ready. The task of interviewing the provincial top scorer still falls to you."
"I suggest you call Zhou Chen right away and make an appointment. There must be a lot of media outlets wanting to interview him right now. Even small media outlets like ours might not be able to get a chance."
Her colleague's words still echoed in her ears, and Cai Xiaowei was still in shock. After learning about Zhou Chen's many achievements, she believed that Zhou Chen was capable of scoring 700 points, but she never thought that Zhou Chen could become the top scorer in the province and become the number one in the province.
Now those trolls on the internet can shut up, right?
Thinking about how she had thoroughly humiliated those netizens, Cai Xiaowei felt a surge of satisfaction, as if she had avenged Zhou Chen.
"The team leader is here."
"Xiaowei, the meeting is starting..."
...
Zhou Chen's phone was ringing off the hook!
He was woken up early by phone calls from TV reporters, newspaper and magazine staff, admissions officers from various universities, and friends who knew him.
People like Sun Liancheng, Hu Haibing, Li Juan, Zhang Dafu, and Liu Dongmei all called to congratulate him on his excellent results.
Regarding interviews, he politely declined all interviews except those from Fengcheng TV, focusing his attention on Fengcheng TV, since he and Fengcheng TV were old acquaintances and had a certain history.
Although he might offend some media outlets, Zhou Chen didn't care. He wasn't a celebrity and didn't need to please the media.
I saw that Cai Xiaowei also called.
Zhou Chen was not surprised and pressed the answer button. Cai Xiaowei also offered her congratulations and then expressed her idea of conducting another interview.
"Can."
Zhou Chen thought for a moment and agreed. After all, Cai Xiaowei's previous interview had drawn criticism from many netizens who said she was bragging. Now that the boasts she made had come true, it was time to shut those people up.
Meanwhile, Cai Xiaowei relayed Zhou Chen's agreement to be interviewed to her colleagues, who were all delighted. Once their video of interviewing Zhou Chen, the provincial champion, was released, the traffic would far exceed anything they had seen before.
At this moment, many people deeply admired Cai Xiaowei's foresight.
They deleted the video of their previous interview with Zhou Chen, which contained a lot of negative comments, and tried hard to get Zhou Chen's forgiveness. Now they've gotten their reward: Zhou Chen is willing to be interviewed. You know, Zhou Chen has rejected many media outlets, including some very influential ones, but she didn't reject their small media studio.
All of this is the result of Cai Xiaowei's personal efforts.
Feeling the gazes of her colleagues, Cai Xiaowei couldn't help but feel a surge of pride, and Zhou Chen's image floated into her mind.
Downstairs in the residential area
The neighbors saw cars parked in front of the house, some with cameras and others with microphones, and they all knew that they were there to interview Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen is the top scorer in the provincial college entrance examination, and now everyone in Fanjia County knows him.
"With so many people from TV stations, Xiao Zhou has become a big star."
"Yes, who would have thought that Xiao Zhou is so amazing? He's the top scorer in the provincial college entrance examination. If this were ancient times, he could go to the palace and meet the emperor."
"I knew it, Xiao Zhou, he's good from a young age, and my judgment was right."
"It's a pity that his parents passed away early. If they were alive, they would be very happy to see this."
"If Xiao Zhou is willing, I can be his godmother!"
As many people came to see Zhou Chen, the neighbors expressed their envy and admiration, because everyone knew that Zhou Chen's future was limitless.
Putting aside Zhou Chen's current business and earning power, even without those, his status as the top scorer in the provincial college entrance examination would ensure a good future.
Zhou Chen didn't expect that despite being rejected, quite a few media outlets would still come to her in person.
He had no choice but to send Tang Wu on his behalf to send those who were trying to interview him back. With these people squatting downstairs, he couldn't even go out.
On the other end,
After hearing from her neighbor that Zhou Chen had become the top scorer in the province, Grandma Zhao immediately told Zhou Ling to apologize to Zhou Chen and try to improve their relationship.
When Zhou Ling heard that she had to apologize to Zhou Chen again, she instinctively refused. It wasn't like she hadn't done this before, but without exception, it had all failed. Zhou Chen didn't need her apology at all. The two of them could never go back to the way things were before and return to their former brother-sister relationship.
“Mom, he’s our family’s enemy now. How could I do something to make my enemy happy? You don’t know, if it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have suffered so much. In the end, it’s all Zhou Chen’s fault.”
Zhao Kun also opposed trying to appease Zhou Chen or beg for her forgiveness, as their family and Zhou Chen were already in an irreconcilable state.
"I'm doing this so that you can get some benefits out of him."
Old Mrs. Zhao revealed her true purpose.
“I think we don’t need to try to please him to get any benefits.”
Zhao Kun's eyes darted around, and with just one sentence, he drew the attention of both Old Mrs. Zhao and Zhou Ling.
“I bet there are a lot of media reporters at their house right now. They all want to interview him. Xiaoling is his sister and knows so much, so you can interview Xiaoling too.”
"Anyway, those media outlets don't know the true nature of Xiaoling's relationship with him."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Zhao's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands in approval. Zhou Ling was also somewhat tempted; by accepting the interview, she could appear on television and be seen by people all over the country, just like a star.
“But Brother Kun, what should I say when reporters ask me about him?” Zhou Ling was worried that her past actions would be dug up.
“This time, we’re going to say good things about him!” Zhao Kun said with a smile. Zhou Ling looked puzzled upon hearing this. Zhao Kun continued, “Say bad things about him will certainly attract attention, but some people might stand up for him and refute us, which would be detrimental to us. But if we say good things about him, it will create the image of you as a good younger sister.”
When reporters see our family's living conditions, they'll wonder why Zhou Chen, who is clearly wealthy, would allow his sister to live such a poor life. They'll think he's not a good older brother. At that point, guess what the media will say? They'll speak up for us and condemn Zhou Chen.
If Zhou Chen can't withstand the pressure of public opinion, or in order to eliminate the negative impact, he will proactively offer us benefits and try every means to make us clarify the situation or shut up.
Zhao Kun said with a sinister smile.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling and Grandma Zhao suddenly realized the brilliance of this move.
