The audience erupted in applause.
The protests continued even after Zhou Chen stepped down.
When Zhou Chen returned to his seat, he attracted a lot of attention, and many people gave him a thumbs up.
Zhou Chen had no choice but to smile and nod in response.
The students were so enthusiastic that it exceeded his expectations.
Seeing this, Zhou Na felt a pang of sadness. She hadn't expected Zhou Chen's speech to be so good. His language was vivid, interesting, and philosophical, and he frequently quoted classical texts, giving it a literary feel. The entire speech was even more natural and relaxed than hers.
She lost again!
Although she believed her performance was not bad, judging from the reactions of the students present, everyone clearly preferred Zhou Chen's speech.
If she hadn't been influenced by Zhou Ling, and hadn't fallen out with Zhou Chen, and they had maintained their sibling relationship, would the outcome have been different?
Zhou Na couldn't help but let her thoughts wander; in her heart, there was still some resentment and dissatisfaction.
After staying up half the night and making careful preparations, I suffered another crushing defeat.
If only Zhou Chen weren't here.
She is absolutely the best one; all the limelight belongs to her.
pity……
Zhou Na could only silently accept reality, watching Zhou Chen bask in glory, radiating dazzling light.
The rally concluded.
Zhou Chen's speech became a topic of discussion among the students. Some students who were not doing well in their studies came directly to Zhou Chen's class to express that they were encouraged and thanked Zhou Chen for helping them regain their confidence.
Moreover, more than one student did this.
It immediately became a hot topic and was discussed throughout the school.
Zhou Chen really didn't expect that he would actually influence some people, making them brave, confident, and daring to do what they wanted.
In contrast to Zhou Chen's speech, which received a lot of attention, the speeches of Zhou Na and the others were rarely discussed. Even when they were mentioned, they were only used as a contrast to Zhou Chen, relegated to supporting roles.
When Zhou Na heard some classmates exaggerating their thanks to Zhou Chen, her feelings became increasingly complicated. Why didn't any classmates come to thank her?
Is this the difference between her and Zhou Chen?
Six months ago, if someone had told her that Zhou Chen would become a prominent figure in the school and shine with dazzling brilliance if he returned to school to repeat his senior year, she would never have believed it and would have scoffed at it, finding it utterly ridiculous.
But now,
She knew that her pride and confidence were utterly worthless in front of Zhou Chen.
She is no match for her at all.
A clown?
A phrase popped into Zhou Na's mind, and she felt that it described her perfectly.
Perhaps she never truly understood her "elder brother" from the very beginning.
For example, she didn't know that Zhou Chen had amazing athletic talent.
For example, she didn't know Zhou Chen was such a good speaker.
For example, she didn't know that Zhou Chen was an exceptionally bright student, a true academic superstar.
For example, she didn't know what Zhou Chen liked to eat or what his hobbies were...
At this moment,
Zhou Na realized that she had been paying far too little attention to Zhou Chen.
In contrast, Zhou Chen, in order to give them the opportunity to study and support her family, did not hesitate to drop out of school and give up a bright future.
She might really be wrong; she was too selfish.
If Zhou Chen knew what Zhou Na was thinking at this moment, he would be very surprised that Zhou Na had actually learned to reflect on herself.
certainly,
Even so, Zhou Chen wouldn't say anything about forgiveness.
In his heart, Zhou Na, along with Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan—those three ungrateful wretches—had been completely severed; they were no longer his siblings.
They were just the most familiar strangers.
This will never change.
He had to live up to his past self's expectations; otherwise, rebirth would be meaningless.
Today, Tang Wu was not the only one at the school gate; Xu Dalong, Lu Ye, and Liu Lei were also present.
Zhou Chen came out of the teaching building and saw that everyone was there. He smiled slightly.
He was the one who called them all together.
We arrived at a restaurant and entered a private room.
Including Li Kaile and Zhou Chen himself, there were a total of six people, basically all the team members came.
Of course, there are still some people missing, such as Su Jiajia, who manages the game company and the logistics company, but Su Jiajia is far away in Yanjing and cannot come to the gathering.
Today, he called everyone together not only to exchange feelings but also to plan for future business. The combined profits from various businesses over the past few days amounted to a considerable sum. Apart from keeping some funds for emergencies, he invested most of it in Tencent stock.
This led to a significant increase in Zhou Chen's holdings of Tencent shares, making him stand out among retail investors.
But this is far from Zhou Chen's goal. He aspires to become a major shareholder of Tencent and someone who can influence Tencent's development decisions.
However, this goal is still far away, and there is still a long way to go.
“After the college entrance examination, I will go to university in Beijing and stay there for at least four years. Therefore, our business focus will be on Beijing from now on.”
"Dalong, please tell us about the current development of Pinchoufang, including how many franchisees there are, how many franchise stores there are, and the individual franchisees, etc. Don't hold back."
Zhou Chen looked at Xu Dalong, his earliest right-hand man. Originally a shy boy from the countryside, Xu Dalong had grown into a capable man in the past six months, showing amazing transformation and progress, and becoming more and more mature.
Xu Dalong straightened his posture, abandoning his usual joking manner. He is a very serious person, especially when it comes to work, and immediately began to recount the development of Pin Chou Fang over the past few days.
Lu Ye and Liu Lei joined Zhou Chen's team after Xu Dalong and Li Kaile. They were in charge of the real exam paper business. Although they knew that Zhou Chen had a stinky tofu business, they knew very little about it.
When Xu Dalong spoke seriously, saying that the number of franchisees who had already opened stores was as high as 500, and the revenue from franchise fees was as high as 50 million, I was truly stunned.
This is just the franchise fee; it doesn't include anything else.
Lu Ye and Liu Lei were deeply shocked. They thought that the profits from the practice exam papers were already substantial, but compared to stinky tofu, they were still far behind. Now that the practice exam papers had been distributed nationwide, they still hadn't earned more than 50 million yuan in net profit.
"Zhou Chen's net worth is probably already over 100 million."
Liu Lei couldn't help but sigh, because she knew that Zhou Chen had two other businesses: gaming and logistics, both of which were extremely profitable industries.
Of all Zhou Chen's businesses, the business of selling past exam papers is probably the least profitable.
Her old classmate is really amazing. She has achieved so much in high school. How high will she go in the future?
Liu Lei couldn't imagine it, but she felt that even if Zhou Chen took the company public, it was by no means impossible.
Because so many miracles have happened to Zhou Chen, nothing is surprising.
