Wu Yingjie was conflicted.
Zhou Chen had just ranked first in the college entrance exam, but he had to leave school for several days to represent Fengcheng in the national track and field competition.
He was worried that Zhou Chen's studies would fall behind.
However, Zhou Chen's athletic talent is undeniable; he participated in two competitions and won first place both times.
Besides, it was a recommendation from the city, so he couldn't really say anything.
He couldn't make the decision for Zhou Chen about whether to pursue a career in sports or live like a normal student.
We can only respect Zhou Chen's choice.
The teacher and student chatted for a while after class.
Zhou Chen knew of Wu Yingjie's concern for him and said that even if he went far away, he would not fall behind in his studies.
Wu Yingjie nodded.
The news that Fengcheng was selected as the only high school student to represent the city in the national track and field competition soon spread throughout the school.
"It's said that there's only one spot available in the entire Fengcheng City. Wow, Zhou Chen is really amazing!"
"He's more than just amazing. In the entire school team, he's the one who trains the least. All the other team members have to participate in night training, but he doesn't have to. Even so, he still managed to win first place. That just shows how terrifying his talent is."
"If he trained like crazy every day, wouldn't he be even more amazing?"
The students at the school were discussing it amongst themselves, expressing their amazement.
Some people admire Zhou Chen.
Of course, some people think that Zhou Chen may have been lucky and performed well, but if he were to compete in the national track and field competition, he would definitely not be good enough and might not even get a ranking.
After all, this is a national competition, and there are countless geniuses among them.
These sour voices were naturally filled with envy and jealousy towards Zhou Chen. After all, Zhou Chen was too dazzling. A sports student, he actually ranked first in the whole school. What's most infuriating is that he was not only good at sports, but also had a profitable business, and was liked by the school beauty. He was a complete winner in life.
Compared to Zhou Chen, almost all the boys paled in comparison.
"Brother Chen, those scoundrels were being sarcastic and malicious behind my back again. I just caught them and gave them a piece of my mind!"
Li Kaile told Zhou Chen what those envious people had said.
Zhou Chen smiled, not caring. Fame brings trouble, and this was nothing compared to what other celebrities had said.
"Let them talk, don't pay them any mind."
Seeing that Li Kaile was quite angry, Zhou Chen tried to comfort her.
Seeing Zhou Chen's calm expression, Li Kaile couldn't help but admire him secretly. As expected of his brother Chen, he was far superior to him in terms of composure. If someone else had said that about him, he would have already gone to settle accounts with them.
How's business at the store lately?
I haven't checked on the stinky tofu shop for the past few days.
"It must be because of your documentary, Brother Chen, that things are getting more and more popular these days, and we sell out every day."
Li Kaile chuckled when this was mentioned.
Since the incident involving false accusations, the stinky tofu business has rebounded rapidly. Now, its popularity is so great that it's the envy of the entire night market street, making it arguably the most popular small shop.
There were at least ten people inquiring about joining the franchise.
The stinky tofu shop is currently making a net profit of around 1,000 yuan per day. After deducting the expenses for two employees, it can keep 1,000 yuan.
If you factor in the franchise fee, earning 100,000 yuan a month is not a dream.
And this is just a small shop in Fanjia County.
Li Kaile knew that Zhou Chen's two chain stores in Fengcheng were more profitable. He felt that, looking at the entire Fanjia County, no one could earn as much money as Zhou Chen.
"You and Da Long should come back early tonight, I'll pay you both."
"Let's go out and celebrate."
To be honest, he has never paid Li Kaile a salary. Although Li Kaile only helps out at the store at night, he has put in a lot of effort, including recruiting five franchisees.
These people spent two or three days learning from Ma Shang and others, mastered all the skills, and started making money.
Upon hearing that he would be getting paid, Li Kaile's expression flashed, and his face immediately lit up with joy, and he couldn't help but rub his hands together.
night.
Zhou Chen, Xu Dalong, and Li Kaile arrived at the most famous restaurant in Fanjia County.
Upon entering the private room, all the dishes had already been served.
Neither Li Kaile nor Xu Dalong had ever eaten here before, and they were both a little bewildered looking at the lobsters and abalone in front of them.
"Brother Chen, these dishes must have cost a lot of money."
Li Kaile swallowed hard and couldn't help but ask.
"A little over a thousand isn't expensive. You two have been with me for a while now, so I'll treat you to a good meal."
Zhou Chen would feel bad if the meal were spent on someone else, but he didn't care at all about treating Li Kaile and Xu Dalong.
Because both of them deserve it.
"Tsk tsk, a meal costing over a thousand yuan! I never thought I, Li Kaile, would have such an expensive meal one day," Li Kaile exclaimed.
Xu Dalong was not good at talking, but when he heard that this meal would cost over a thousand yuan, he was deeply disturbed.
"Alright, stop standing there, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
Zhou Chen waved his hand, gesturing for the two to sit down.
"Brother Chen, this big crab is really delicious, but it's a bit of a hassle to prepare, and there's not much meat."
Li Kaile ate while complaining.
I don't think this is a good deal.
Xu Dalong only ate one crab. He only took a bite of abalone and sea cucumber, showing no interest in seafood. He preferred regular meals instead.
Li Kaile exclaimed that Xu Dalong didn't know how to enjoy delicious food, while Xu Dalong said he couldn't get used to it and would rather eat home-cooked meals than these seafood dishes.
Half an hour later,
Zhou Chen took out a wad of cash from his pocket, placed one portion in front of Li Kaile and the other in front of Xu Dalong; it was their wages.
"Brother Chen, this is too much!"
"Brother Chen..."
Looking at the thick wad of cash, both Li Kaile and Xu Dalong were a little stunned. Even without counting it, they could tell with their naked eyes that there must be tens of thousands of yuan.
They felt that the work they did wasn't worth that much money.
That's really a bit too much.
"Keep it. You two have been with me for so long and done a lot. I've seen it all."
"In the future, there will only be more than this."
Zhou Chen was not stingy; Li Kaile gave him 10,000 yuan, and Xu Dalong gave him 20,000 yuan, because Xu Dalong had done more work.
Although this amount of money is not much for someone of his net worth,
But looking at the whole of Fanjia County, it's definitely a high salary, which is worth the effort of the two of them.
Li Kaile and Xu Dalong were both moved and excited at that moment.
They were touched by Zhou Chen's generosity and excited by the amount of money he made. Although they knew that Zhou Chen earned much more than the two of them, they were not jealous because Zhou Chen earned it through his own abilities.
Zhou Chen's willingness to help them make money is already a great kindness.
They didn't ask for much, but to their surprise, Zhou Chen offered them a high salary of over ten thousand yuan, which was comparable to Su Jiajia's.
How could this not move the two of them?
