Li Kaile's mother wanted to thank Zhou Chen for helping Li Kaile with business.
A large, sumptuous lunch was prepared.
Zhou Chen ate a lot and learned during the conversation that Li Kaile came from a single-parent family and lived with her mother. This gave him a better understanding of Li Kaile.
Li Kaile's mother was a peaceful and understanding woman. She did not consider Li Kaile's business ventures to be a waste of time and did not strongly oppose or obstruct him.
Moreover, Li Kaile's homeroom teacher, Wu Yingjie, recently visited his home and discussed his future. If he could make a name for himself in business before graduation, he could continue doing business; if not, he would send Li Kaile to a technical school to learn a skill.
Zhou Chen believes that this is a very thorough consideration.
I also support Li Kaile's mother's decision.
When I got back to my neighborhood, those three ungrateful wretches were long gone.
I believe that after he revealed the truth about their adoption today, the three of them will have no face to bother him anymore.
From now on, his world can be completely peaceful.
Let Zhou Na be the one who spoils her brother or sister; he wants to live his own life.
Let's all leave each other alone and live our own lives peacefully.
Before we knew it, the day of the city-level college sports competition had arrived.
As a member of the school team, Zhou Chen has gotten to know everyone better these days and has completely integrated into the team.
Lu Guoliang gave a pre-match speech and provided psychological counseling to ensure everyone was in the best mental state for the match the day after tomorrow.
Because he needed to go to the city in advance, Zhou Chen had to miss a day of classes.
When he asked Wu Yingjie for leave, Wu Yingjie told him to do his best in the competition and wished him good results.
This was Zhou Chen's first time in the city since his rebirth.
Looking at the city's skyscrapers, unlike the other team members who wore expressions of excitement and agitation, he felt more sentimental.
Because he was so familiar with this city; in his previous life, he had lived there for decades.
Fengcheng is not yet prosperous enough. It will be developed in 20 or 30 years, with all kinds of transportation hubs, including railways, high-speed rail, subways, and airports. Skyscrapers of 40 or 50 stories high are everywhere.
Lu Guoliang sat at the front and observed the reactions of the school team members. The reactions of the vast majority of them were exactly what he expected.
Only when looking at Zhou Chen did he notice a sense of vicissitude in Zhou Chen's eyes, a vicissitude that even he, a middle-aged man who had lived for forty years, did not possess.
Mature beyond his years!
A Chinese idiom flashed through Lu Guoliang's mind, and he felt it perfectly described Zhou Chen in front of him.
A twenty-two-year-old body, but a forty or fifty-year-old mentality.
But he felt this was actually a good thing; a mature mindset should allow Zhou Chen to perform consistently in the competition.
Zhou Chen was his trump card, and he planned to use this competition to crush the arrogance of his old friends.
Just yesterday, he received four or five phone calls from old friends who were showing off how well their students had achieved, how many of them had won first place, and so on. They were very proud of themselves.
He cooperated fully, enduring the pain of revealing Zhou Chen's presence, all so that he could dazzle those people at the time.
I sensed that someone was watching me.
Zhou Chen turned his head and saw that the owner of the eager gaze was Lu Guoliang. He nodded and smiled.
It's clear that Lao Lu has high expectations for him.
He had to save face for Lao Lu and couldn't let him down.
First place in the 100 meters, first place in the long jump, we must win. Many other members of the school team have won honors, but he still has zero. We must break that zero.
After checking into the hotel, Zhou Chen shared a room with a male classmate from the school team.
I just put down my backpack,
The Nokia in my pocket rang.
It was an unfamiliar number calling.
Zhou Chen hesitated for a moment before answering the call.
"Are you Zhou Chen?"
"I am, you are..."
Hearing a girl's voice on the other end of the phone, Zhou Chen frowned slightly. He had very few female friends, and apart from those two ungrateful sisters, almost no one else knew his phone number.
“You probably don’t know me, but you know my dad. His name is Sun Liancheng.”
Mr. Sun's daughter?
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen was taken aback. He knew that Sun Liancheng had a daughter who was about his age, very beautiful, and a graduate of a prestigious university.
But why would this Miss Sun call him?
"Miss Sun, is there something you need from me?"
“My father told me you came to the city to participate in a competition. Where are you? I’m coming to find you now. Don’t overthink it. I just want to thank you for helping my father twice.”
Zhou Chen didn't think much of it. Since this Miss Sun wanted to see him, then he would let her meet him.
He gave the other party the hotel address.
"By the way, my name is Sun Wanying."
Before hanging up the phone, Zhou Chen heard a beautiful name.
“Sun Wanying…”
Zhou Chen muttered something to himself. Just then, there was a knock on the door, and a voice outside called him downstairs for dinner.
"Brother Chen, Lao Lu wants us to come downstairs to meet for lunch."
"Brother Chen, are you there?"
"I am here."
Zhou Chen responded, put his phone back in his pocket, and joined the school team members outside.
Everyone arrived at the hotel lobby on the first floor.
Led by Lu Guoliang, they entered the dining area on the first floor together.
The hotel food was excellent, but Lu Guoliang insisted that certain things were off-limits, especially desserts and cakes.
The reason is to avoid stomach upset tomorrow, which would affect the game.
The female students on the school team were the most frustrated, but they understood the situation and focused on tomorrow's competition.
Zhou Chen ate some vegetables and lean meat, and quickly finished them.
Because he didn't know when Sun Wanying would arrive.
"Is this all you're going to eat?"
Lu Guoliang frowned slightly, surprised that Zhou Chen ate much less than the others.
"I don't want to eat too much tonight," Zhou Chen explained with a smile.
Lu Guoliang nodded: "As long as you're full."
Just then,
Zhou Chen's phone rang. Seeing this, Lu Guoliang waved his hand, signaling Zhou Chen to answer the call.
Zhou Chen then walked to the side and pressed the call button.
Sun Wanying has arrived.
"Teacher Lu, I'd like to go out for a bit to meet a friend."
"It's alright, go ahead."
Lu Guoliang didn't think much of it.
With permission, Zhou Chen left the restaurant first. As soon as he reached the lobby, he saw a tall figure standing in the center of the hall, quite eye-catching.
She is a stunning girl, both in terms of looks and her style of dress.
Zhou Chen knew that she was Sun Wanying.
"Hello, I'm Zhou Chen."
Zhou Chen took the initiative to step forward and greet him.
Sun Wanying turned around, her bright and lively eyes scanning Zhou Chen up and down, as if trying to see through him.
