The impact of the revelation of the owner's identity at Secret Snow Ice Cream has gradually subsided.
The online forums and some groups no longer discuss these topics; they are now dominated by more trending news, such as events and competitions held on campus, who performed exceptionally well, which department's most beautiful girl has a new rumored relationship, and the annual selection of the most beautiful campus belle, etc.
The campus beauty pageant attracted a lot of attention, with almost all the male students in the school participating in the voting. Qin Yiren, as the beauty of the Computer Science Department, was naturally on the list of nominees. Some students spontaneously organized to campaign for Qin Yiren, and Zhou Chen and others, as freshmen in the Computer Science Department, naturally voted for Qin Yiren.
Who is the most beautiful school belle?
Zhou Chen felt that Qin Yiren was indeed very capable among all the competitors, and only one or two competitors could pose a threat to her.
The dorm even made a bet on who would get the most votes.
In the end, the title of most beautiful school beauty went to a girl named Jiang Yao, which surprised everyone. This caused Wang Rui and Zhang Hao to complain a lot, because Jiang Yao's looks were no match for Qin Yiren, but she still got the most votes. For a moment, many people felt that there was something fishy going on and that someone had cheated.
Despite Jiang Yao's oath, it still failed to convince people.
However, this matter ends here.
After the campus beauty pageant, things calmed down on campus. Zhou Chen went to class every day, spent time in the library, and occasionally played games with three friends in his dorm room.
After making money through cheating software, Li Wei bought himself a computer. However, to Zhou Chen's surprise, Li Wei bought a second-hand one from a senior student for only a few hundred yuan. Logically speaking, given Li Wei's current circumstances, he could easily afford a new computer. However, during a conversation, Zhou Chen heard from Wang Rui that Li Wei had sent most of the money he earned home, where his younger siblings were still in school.
Zhou Chen then gained a better understanding of Li Wei's family background. It was pretty much what he had guessed at first: a very ordinary family with limited financial resources. As a result, Li Wei was very frugal. Even when he earned money, he didn't spend it extravagantly or recklessly. He didn't even buy a single new piece of clothing.
Zhou Chen felt that Li Wei was a rare find, a responsible and filial child.
Most rural children are extremely simple and honest, without many ulterior motives or hidden agendas. They are relatively pure in character and have some inferiority complex. Fortunately, the success of the cheat code has reduced Li Wei's inferiority complex to a great extent. Perhaps under the influence of his three roommates, Li Wei has become much more cheerful and occasionally joins in discussions and jokes with them.
The profits from the game cheat changed Li Wei's life, and the same was true for Wang Rui and Zhang Hao. The two bought a lot of things to reward themselves. Although their financial situation was better than Li Wei's, their living expenses were limited, and their families couldn't give them too much. Things they couldn't afford before, such as brand-name shoes and watches, were now all being rewarded to themselves.
Zhang Hao jokingly teased Wang Rui, saying that if Wang Rui and Yang Meng got together, he would definitely spend all the money he earned on Yang Meng, buying her all sorts of things and begging her for favors.
Wang Rui looked embarrassed and was speechless.
Thinking back to the days when he pursued Yang Meng relentlessly, he was indeed capable of doing so, treating Yang Meng as well as possible.
Zhang Hao then came to the conclusion that money should be spent on himself, and only shown to women; he should never spend it on them.
After hearing this, Wang Rui nodded secretly and suddenly said, "This is one of Brother Chen's classic quotes, isn't it?"
Zhang Hao: "..."
Before we knew it, it was mid-to-late December.
During this time, Zhou Chen participated in various university activities, both big and small, and even club activities. After all, being reborn is all about the experience, which is much more meaningful than making money.
Sometimes when student clubs organize events, some students approach him hoping he can provide some sponsorship or similar assistance.
Zhou Chen wasn't short of money, and it would also help promote his product, so he sponsored the event under the name of Secret Snow Ice City, making the event a great success and bringing honor to the Computer Science Department.
Therefore, all the activities ended perfectly, and everyone was very happy. At the same time, they praised Zhou Chen even more, which made Zhou Chen very popular in the department, much to the envy of Zhang Hao, Wang Rui and the others.
After all, even the senior students greeted Zhou Chen warmly when they saw him.
Not to mention his senior classmates, who invited Zhou Chen to dinner, play ball, and so on, but Zhou Chen couldn't even remember how many times they had politely declined.
Zhou Chen felt it was a worthwhile investment of his hard-earned money, which brought him a good reputation and positive relationships.
Furthermore, for him, all the sponsorship fees he contributed amounted to only tens of thousands of yuan, which was just a small amount of money.
The list given to Su Jiajia earlier, which brought together graduates from previous years of Yanda University to join HarmonyOS Technology, was well done by Su Jiajia. Almost everyone who went there stayed.
Because the company is sufficiently reputable, and the projects it researches are extremely challenging.
Secondly, the benefits are truly excellent. Zhou Chen has provided ample funding in this regard, a level of treatment that no other business employee receives.
Even Su Jiajia complained more than once that Zhou Chen treated the employees of HarmonyOS Technology too well, with one employee's salary being equivalent to the combined salary of a dozen employees in other companies.
Zhou Chen didn't think much of it. This industry requires spending money. Of course, he wasn't a sucker who would throw money at just anyone. The main thing was that the other party had to be worth the price.
He can offer high salaries; if you are good enough, he can offer not just 30,000 or 40,000, but even 100,000.
Employees of HarmonyOS Technology can only receive full pay if they meet certain standards, so they have to work harder than people in other companies, and overtime has naturally become the norm.
Perhaps some people will say that Zhou Chen is a capitalist who exploits his employees. However, Zhou Chen must refute this: if we don't work harder, how can our country surpass the level of development that others have reached in just a few decades? The reason why later countries rose rapidly was because of their diligence and extraordinary hard work. Without these, let alone catching up, it would be good enough to just maintain basic needs.
Each generation has its own tasks and responsibilities.
Our ancestors fought with their blood to build this land. It wasn't that they weren't afraid of death, but that they had no other choice but to fight to the death.
Similarly, although we live in a time of peace and there is no more bloodshed, war still exists, only in a different form, and it is no longer a contest of guns and cannons.
If everyone fails to work hard and focuses on development during peacetime, the blood of our ancestors will be shed in vain once war breaks out again.
Although it sounds cruel, this is the world. Since ancient times, the law of the world has been the survival of the fittest. If you don't become stronger, someone else will naturally become stronger and devour you.
