The couple waited for a long time.
It was getting dark, and Zhou Na still hadn't called.
Doesn't she want to know who her biological parents are?
"She wouldn't be uninterested, would she...?"
Wang Xiuhua said uncertainly.
How could someone not even want to know the identities of their parents? That's unreasonable.
Zhou Dana couldn't figure it out either. "It's probably not possible. It's very likely that she didn't see it. Let's wait a little longer."
In his view, no one would be unwilling to know about their parents' identities.
Wang Xiuhua didn't say anything.
The two continued to wait and wait.
They waited until seven or eight o'clock in the evening, but still hadn't received a reply from Zhou Na. This time, the two had to accept a guess: Zhou Na seemed genuinely uninterested, or perhaps didn't believe what they were saying.
If Zhou Haide hadn't become a boss and wasn't rich, the couple wouldn't have cared about Zhou Na's thoughts. But the problem is, they had to win over Zhou Na to get money from Zhou Haide in the future.
"She must live near the university. We'll start looking from there tomorrow, and we're sure to find her."
Since Zhou Na wasn't replying, the only option was the most basic method: searching bit by bit.
...
"Teacher Wu, I'm fine. Those thugs didn't hurt me."
"Coach Lu, I'm fine. My leg isn't injured, and it won't affect my participation in future competitions."
"Master, don't worry, I have bodyguards protecting me, no one can get close."
Zhou Chen responded to each of the concerned phone calls from Wu Yingjie, Lu Guoliang, and his mentor Xu Laoqi.
That night, when Zhou Chen resolved the kidnapping incident involving Dao Ge and his gang, someone filmed it and posted it online. Because Zhou Chen filmed it very clearly, he was recognized, leading to numerous media outlets reprinting and reporting on it, making many people aware of the incident.
Compared to phone calls, group chats are actually much more lively.
Whether it's his old high school classmates' group or his current university group, everyone is tagging him, wanting to know how he subdued those kidnappers.
In the footage that was captured, all the kidnappers were knocked down, while Zhou Chen, the kidnapper's target, was completely unharmed, standing there calmly and collectedly, which was quite eye-catching.
After seeing it, Li Kaile exclaimed that he was so handsome and wished she were Zhou Chen back then.
Zhou Chen never expected that instead of trying to show off, he would end up showing off in a big way.
Faced with numerous people tagging him in the group, whether their concern was genuine or not, Zhou Chen politely responded, saying that he was fine and thanking everyone for their worry.
After that, I replied briefly and then left the group chat.
I only post in the core team group and my university roommate group.
Compared to outsiders, the core team members know more about the inside story. After all, Zhou Chen was able to inform them in advance not to go out unnecessarily, which made them realize that someone was plotting something.
Now that Zhou Chen has resolved this matter, Xu Dalong and the others can all breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhou Chen: "The first batch of bodyguards will graduate soon, and I will arrange one for each of you then."
Li Kaile: "Brother Chen, my bodyguards don't need to be too strong. Ninety percent of Brother Tang's strength will suffice."
Lu Ye: "Old Li, you're overthinking it."
Liu Lei: "Boss, it's not convenient for me to have a male bodyguard. Could you please switch to a female bodyguard?"
Zhou Chen: "This is a great suggestion. I will focus on recruiting a few female students."
In the college roommate group.
After discussing the kidnappers, Zhang Hao and Wang Rui were talking about other things, sharing what they were doing during their holidays.
Zhang Hao and Wang Rui have finished their trip and returned home.
When they got home, they told their families about how they made money at university, and their families were all shocked.
Wang Rui: "Haha, it was so satisfying to see my dad's mouth drop open. I even declared that I wouldn't ask my family for a single penny of my living expenses during college. If my family needs money, they can tell me. I've decided to give my dad some pocket money before the semester starts. He's so pitiful, it's heartbreaking to see. As his son, I have a full wallet, I can't let my dad live a hard life!"
Zhang Hao: "Rui Zi, I think you're a bit of a rebel. But you're lucky, at least you still have the money. I'm in a worse situation. My mom took all my money, saying she'd keep it for me and give it back to me when I get married. That's how my New Year's money disappeared when I was a kid. Now, sigh, I guess I'm going to be a lamb to the slaughter."
Zhou Chen couldn't help but chuckle as he watched the two chatting so unrestrainedly. These two were truly something else.
Zhou Chen: "Where's Viagra?"
Wang Rui: "Brother Chen, you forgot? Brother Wei's family lives in the mountains and there is no internet. The last time I chatted with him was when he went to the county town to buy something and we got in touch."
Zhou Chen then realized that Li Wei's hometown was indeed too remote.
Li Wei is basically out of contact, and Zhou Chen doesn't know how things are going between him and the rich and beautiful Xu Yao. Considering that Li Wei is a novice in relationships, Zhou Chen smiled and shook his head. To be honest, he didn't know either whether Li Wei and Xu Yao could go the distance.
This guy is lucky; Xu Yao fell in love with him at first sight and has the potential to avoid decades of hard work. But it's not so easy to get into the high-class family of a rich and beautiful woman.
Forget it, this is not something he can worry about.
Li Wei will make his own choices in his own life; all he needs to do is support him.
In a small town a thousand miles away,
Even at eight or nine o'clock at night, it was still not dark. A group of workers were pulling power lines into the mountains, working enthusiastically.
The workers couldn't understand why they had to spend so much money to run power lines to that village deep in the mountains.
If this was done by the authorities, they wouldn't be surprised.
The problem is, this is funded by an individual.
It would cost hundreds of thousands of yuan to bring electricity to that remote village. Is it really worth it?
The thoughts of the rich are truly strange; perhaps this is what they call being rich and willful.
Who cares?
Anyway, they have work to do and money to earn. Moreover, this boss is extremely generous, paying them twice as much as they used to when they were laying electrical wires. Even if they have to work overtime, they are willing to do it.
It's a rare opportunity to meet such a generous boss.
I must perform well, just in case there are similar good jobs in the future.
"Brother, you're amazing. I want to be like you and make lots of money so our family can live a good life."
In the remote mountain valley, there was no electricity, only a single candle.
Looking at his adorable younger siblings eating the food he had bought, Li Wei felt incredibly satisfied and happy.
"You just need to focus on your studies; leave the money-making to your older brother."
"Your older brother is your strongest support. After I go to school, you should do what you can yourself and not bother Mom and Dad. They are already very tired, okay?"
"Okay, bro. You're so long-winded, just like Mom and Dad, hehe..."
Li Wei patted the two little ones' heads, his gaze drifting to the window. If only the village had electricity, then Mom and Dad wouldn't have to work so hard.
He needs to continue working hard to earn more money so that his family can have a better life.
