Zhou Chen was unaware that after he walked away, a figure stood in the spot where he had just been.
Until Zhou Chen completely left,
The man turned and went into the bank to inquire about the business Zhou Chen had just conducted.
It turned out that everyone had witnessed the scene of the bank manager personally receiving Zhou Chen.
The impact of winning honors in sports competitions gradually fades.
Few people continued to discuss Zhou Chen; instead, the conversation shifted to entertainment topics such as film and television stars, songs, novels, and relationship magazines.
Zhou Chen likes the feeling of not being overly noticed.
Although becoming a sports student requires spending some time on training, Zhou Chen did not neglect his academic studies.
After two months of review, Zhou Chen had long since picked up the forgotten knowledge and could apply it flexibly again. Moreover, he found that the memory of the many exercises he had done in his previous life had become clear, which made him start to learn more and more easily.
His progress in all subjects was remarkable, and even his teachers were surprised by his performance.
Zhou Chen believes that he can continue to improve in this month's mock exam and has a high probability of breaking into the top 30, and even the top 20 is not impossible.
TRAIN STATION,
In front of stalls along a street that passengers must cross when getting off the train.
Zhou Ling waited anxiously for a while before finally seeing Zhao Kun arrive late.
Before she could complain about why he was so late, Zhao Kun spoke first, looking mysterious, and asked, "Wife, guess who I ran into while you were buying lunch for me?"
Who is it?
Zhou Ling eagerly started gnawing on the cooked pig's trotters while casually agreeing.
"I ran into your older brother, Zhou Chen."
Zhao Kun didn't keep them in suspense and spoke directly.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling frowned and said with disgust, "He's not my brother. We're not related by blood. Don't mention him again. I don't want to hear his name."
“Honey, I know you hate him, but do you know what I saw today? He was doing business at the bank, and a bank manager personally served him, and it was during his lunch break.”
"Do you know who gets this kind of treatment? It's the wealthy people who make large deposits. They're the ones who get this kind of attention. Your brother, no, it seems like Zhou Chen has struck it rich."
"Unfortunately, when I asked that bank manager, that idiot wouldn't tell me anything, otherwise I would have known how much money Zhou Chen actually had."
Zhao Kun was quite annoyed that he couldn't get the key information.
"How much money he has has nothing to do with me, I don't care." Zhou Ling stubbornly insisted that she didn't care. In fact, she wanted to know how much money Zhou Chen had earned, but when she thought about her background as an adopted daughter of the Zhou family, what did Zhou Chen's money have to do with her? Given Zhou Chen's indifference, he wouldn't give her a single penny.
Then, changing the subject, Zhou Ling grabbed Zhao Kun's arm and said with eyes full of hope for her husband's success, "Brother Kun, I can only rely on you. You are the man I have high hopes for. You will definitely achieve great things. Back then, Zhou Chen looked down on you. Brother Kun, we must prove him wrong and slap him in the face. We will live a million times better than him."
Zhao Kun nodded. He also had a premonition that he was not an ordinary person and that one day he would stand out from the crowd, become a rich man, and become a big boss.
How could someone as outstanding as him be ordinary?
"Honey, don't worry, I won't let you down. I said I would marry you in a grand and glorious way, and I will definitely keep my word. In the future, when we go to the bank, we'll have the bank manager personally attend to us and serve us."
Zhao Kun made a boastful promise, but before he even succeeded, he had already blown his own horn.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling's face lit up with happiness, and she leaned against Zhao Kun. "Brother Kun, let's set up our stall for another month, and before my belly gets too big, let's use the money we earn to hold our wedding, okay?"
"Of course! Don't you like wearing beautiful white wedding dresses? We'll go to the bridal shop and buy one for you." Zhao Kun immediately agreed.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling's eyes lit up with surprise. Wearing a pure white wedding dress and getting married was the wedding scene she had always wanted.
When wealthy families in the city get married, they all dress up in that kind of fashionable and prestigious way.
"Besides the wedding dress, I also want to prepare a wedding hall for you. My buddy said he has connections and can lend it to us for free. At that time, I will marry you in a grand and glorious way."
"Let your sister and brother come and witness our happiness."
Zhao Kun continued to boast and make empty promises.
Zhou Ling believed it to be true and was so engrossed in it that she exclaimed happily, "Brother Kun, it's so good to have met you!"
"Third Sister."
Not long after, Zhou Chuan, looking nonchalant and sporting dark circles under his eyes, who knew he had been up for several sleepless nights, arrived at the stall with a big smile on his face.
"Fourth brother."
"Ahem, Third Sister, I haven't eaten since last night, and I'm starving. Um... Brother-in-law isn't here right now, could you give me some money first?"
After exchanging pleasantries, Zhou Chuan smiled and reached out his hand to ask Zhou Ling for money.
"Didn't I give you a hundred the day before yesterday? Did you spend it all so quickly?" Zhou Ling frowned immediately.
"Third sister, you have no idea how unlucky I was. I went out for a meal that day, thinking I'd look for a job, but on the way, my money was stolen. I was too embarrassed to ask you for help, so I borrowed some money from a classmate to barely fill my stomach. I was so hungry today, that's why..."
Zhou Chuan would never say that he had spent all 100 yuan on internet cafes, eating, drinking, and having fun. Internet cafes are definitely paradise, much more fun than arcades. Not only can you meet people from all over the world and make friends, but you can also play all kinds of online games.
"Fourth brother, I can only give you twenty. I didn't earn much today, so I need to keep some for myself. If your brother-in-law finds out I'm giving you money, he'll be angry. You should go now."
"Third sister, I'm leaving now."
Although it was a little less, it was better than nothing. Zhou Chuan took the money, turned around, and left quickly.
Next, he planned to go to Zhou Na's school to see if he could get some more.
If he can get a hundred, it'll be enough for him to live a carefree life for a few days.
Faced with Zhou Chuan asking her for money for the first time, Zhou Na, as his older sister, couldn't very well refuse, especially seeing Zhou Chuan's pitiful appearance.
She took one hundred yuan.
"Thank you, Second Sister."
Zhou Chuan was overjoyed to have achieved his goal. After receiving the money, he waved goodbye and couldn't wait to go to the internet cafe.
Zhou Na watched Zhou Chuan's retreating figure, her brows slightly furrowed.
At that moment, she suddenly realized that being the older sister was not a good thing. It was as if she had been put in a shackle, and she had to unconditionally tolerate her younger brother and sister.
She had never had this experience before.
Now, experiencing it firsthand, she felt uncomfortable, with a sense of being burdened and annoyed.
