"Su, if you keep hugging, the train is about to leave."
Zhou Chen reminded her that Su Jiajia had been hugging Sun Wanying for so long; wasn't she taking advantage of him?
"If you want a hug, I can reluctantly let you hug me for a bit."
Zhou Chen coughed and spoke in a generous tone.
Swish…
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Chen felt the air cool down and two pairs of eyes immediately fell on him.
Sun Wanying seemed to be saying, "You dare?"
Su Jiajia rolled her eyes at him with a look of disdain.
"My embrace belongs only to Wanying. Don't daydream."
Su Jiajia turned to Sun Wanying and instructed her, "Wanying, I can't keep an eye on this guy for you for now. You need to check up on him more often. Men are very fickle, so you can't be careless, especially since you'll be living apart from each other in the future. If he dares to sneak peeks at other girls behind your back today, he might dare to cheat on you tomorrow!"
Zhou Chen: "..."
That's well said. Don't say it again.
Sun Wanying smiled, knowing that Su Jiajia was joking. She straightened Su Jiajia's collar and said, "I know. Remember to call me when you get to the hotel."
"I will."
Su Jiajia nodded, then glanced at Zhou Chen and said, "Boss, I didn't even take a plane to save you money. You're lucky to have an employee like me, so you have to treat Wanying well, or I'll fire you immediately."
Good grief, employees quitting their boss?
Zhou Chen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled slightly: "Okay, I'll try my best not to fire you."
Su Jiajia waved her hand and turned to enter the ticket gate.
After watching Su Jiajia disappear into the crowd,
Zhou Chen and Sun Wanying exited the train station. The evening air was somewhat cool, and the two walked along the street as if it were their first time taking a stroll.
Before I knew it, I had arrived at the place where we had kissed.
On that bridge.
Thinking that Sun Wanying would return to work in Fengcheng in a few days, Zhou Chen couldn't help but feel reluctant to part with her.
Seemingly sensing Zhou Chen's emotions, Sun Wanying tilted her head and leaned on Zhou Chen's shoulder, the two of them looking at the moonlight shining on the white water.
Everything before my eyes was so peaceful and beautiful.
But beauty is always fleeting.
Three days later,
Sun Wanying is gone.
The night before returning to Fengcheng, the two talked until very late.
With Sun Wanying gone and Su Jiajia no longer around, life suddenly became much bland and tasteless.
Zhou Chen felt somewhat uncomfortable for a moment.
It is worth mentioning that because Zhou Lao Er, Zhou Lao San, and others damaged Zhou Chen's reputation through the newspaper, Zhou Chen insisted on pursuing the matter, and even Zhou Ling wrote an apology statement, which was published in the newspaper and attracted considerable attention.
In addition, the individuals were fined, especially Zhou Ling, who had done similar things more than once and was fined even more. She was also given a serious warning that if she committed the same offense again, the fines would accumulate and, if the offense was serious, would be imposed after she gave birth to the child. Pregnancy does not grant one a get-out-of-jail-free card.
Apology, fine, warning
Zhou Ling and her group gained nothing but trouble.
Not to mention how depressed Zhou Lao Er, Zhou Lao San, and the others were.
They could only swallow their anger and resentment towards Zhou Chen, but they couldn't say it to his face, for fear of being invited to the police station for questioning again.
Several elders from the Zhou family arrived excitedly, only to leave disappointed.
They secretly decided to cut off all contact with Zhou Chen from now on and have no further relationship with him. At the same time, they would remove Zhou Chen from the family register as soon as they got back.
Zhou Chen didn't care about these things at all; in fact, he was more than happy to accept them.
Five days later, Zhou Chen received news that he had been removed from the Zhou family genealogy, while Zhou Na, Zhou Ling, and Zhou Chuan were still on the genealogy.
Upon learning that three ungrateful wretches with no blood relation to the Zhou family were still listed in the family genealogy, while he, a true member of the Zhou family, had been kicked out, Zhou Chen found it extremely ironic and laughable.
"Am I the one my parents picked up?"
Thinking about how the Zhou family made such a decision, it's clear that they are no different from those three ingrates. They may not act exactly the same way, but they are essentially the same – selfish and self-serving, all birds of a feather.
He, on the contrary, seemed out of place.
Of course, this was just something Zhou Chen found laughable; the fact that he was of Zhou family blood was true.
It's just that his family branch wasn't well-liked by his own grandfather.
His father was like that, which led him to be like that as well.
Zhou Chen wasn't upset or annoyed by this matter because he didn't care at all. It was actually a good thing that the Zhou family had distanced themselves from him, as this way, he didn't even need to deal with them.
Life suddenly became quiet.
Nothing troublesome happened. For more than half a month, Zhou Chen didn't see Zhou Ling causing any trouble, as if she had given up on opposing him.
Zhou Na was also very quiet, and since our last meeting, we hadn't even run into each other when we went to the cafeteria for meals.
If Li Kaile hadn't frequently shared the information he'd gathered about Zhou Na, Zhou Chen would have had no idea what Zhou Na was doing.
Since the top spot on the leaderboard was taken, pushing Zhou Na to second place, Li Kaile said that Zhou Na changed dorm rooms and now lives alone, studying late into the night every day.
Zhou Na is working hard silently, preparing to fight her way back to number one at any time.
Zhou Chen knew that Zhou Na was unwilling to accept defeat, especially losing to him, which was more painful than losing to anyone else.
Zhou Na's reaction was exactly what he expected. He was curious to see how many points Zhou Na could score next time and surpass him.
Zhou Na sees him as a goal, a driving force to surpass him.
But Zhou Chen's goal is no longer to be number one in the school. He wants to compete with the top students from other high schools and win the top spot in the city, the province, or even the country. That is his real goal.
Having already practiced with future college entrance exam papers, Zhou Chen is a shoo-in for the top scorer in the college entrance exam.
But in order to make his achievement more legitimate, he wanted to try to see if he could get the top score in the city based on his own true abilities.
Zhou Chen did not relax or slack off because he was confident of victory. He spent a lot of time and energy studying every day.
His progress has repeatedly impressed his classmates.
In particular, some of the problem-solving methods were ones that even the teachers themselves had never seen before, which greatly surprised them. Zhou Chen's reputation as a top student was further enhanced, and teachers from other high schools not only heard about it but also about other high schools.
On this day,
Zhou Chen received some good news.
After Su Jiajia established a company in Yanjing and rented an office, he recruited a person from his list, a computer science professional.
A few years later, this person created a blockbuster game, bringing huge profits to the company at the time and making a fortune.
By recruiting this person, Su Jiajia essentially hijacked the company behind her.
How could Zhou Chen not be happy?
"Try to bring his classmates and friends in related majors into the company."
"If he can do this well, you can promise him that he will be in charge of a team and serve as the team leader."
Thinking of this talented individual, and considering the many technically skilled classmates he knew, Zhou Chen immediately gave him some instructions.
