Zhou Na was not envious of Zhou Ling's extensive network of connections.
Even if those people smile at Zhou Ling, does that mean they genuinely want to be friends with her?
It was just to give Li Xiaolong face.
Zhou Ling was still there, smugly pleased with herself.
Laughable, pathetic.
Once Li Xiaolong is gone, or even if he says a word, no one will pay any attention to Zhou Ling.
Zhou Na understood this, but she didn't intend to remind Zhou Ling. Not to mention that Zhou Ling had chilled her heart, even if she did tell her, would Zhou Ling be grateful?
not necessarily,
Not only will they not thank her, they might even mock her.
She had no doubt that Zhou Ling would do such a thing.
Turning her gaze away, Zhou Na involuntarily looked in another direction.
That direction was the area where Zhou Chen was. Watching Zhou Chen chatting and laughing with his three roommates, Zhou Na frowned slightly. She heard all the discussions around her.
Many people say that Zhou Chen can't see the situation clearly, has fallen into a trap without realizing it, and hopes that the technology and internet are in danger, etc.
But Zhou Na didn't think so. Did Zhou Chen really not see through Li Xiaolong's motives?
The two were quite hostile before, so how could Zhou Chen possibly support Li Xiaolong? There must be something wrong here.
She didn't believe Zhou Chen would stumble. Those people didn't know Zhou Chen well enough, they didn't know how capable Zhou Chen was, but Zhou Na knew that Zhou Chen had never failed. Whether it was doing business, studying, or investing in stocks, he was always successful.
All of this is enough to prove Zhou Chen's prowess.
How could I possibly make a mistake like this?
Something unusual is bound to happen; Zhou Chen definitely hasn't revealed his trump card yet.
Putting herself in Li Xiaolong's shoes, Zhou Na became increasingly curious about what measures Zhou Chen would take to defuse the situation and win decisively against Li Xiaolong's targeting.
She was completely baffled.
At least, she couldn't think of a way to break the deadlock.
What exactly will you do?
Zhou Na murmured to herself.
The contrast between Zhou Chen and Li Xiaolong is stark: one is deserted, the other is bustling. Apart from a very few people who come over to chat with Zhou Chen, he is basically ignored. If his three roommates weren't around, he would look even more desolate.
Some people have already started to laugh at the situation and make sarcastic remarks.
Even without Li Xiaolong's presence, they were still pulling and kicking each other.
Although Zhou Chen has other businesses, many people in the same industry don't care. After all, in their view, if Zhou Chen fails in the gaming industry, he won't last long in other industries either.
"When luck stops on those who succeed, their true colors will be revealed. Whether they are genuine geniuses or just pretending to be geniuses will be immediately apparent."
"It's very questionable that someone can start several companies at such a young age and succeed in every one of them. I don't think there are such geniuses in the world. It's just that sometimes people can't see the truth and believe it. In fact, behind many successful people, there are people strategizing behind the scenes. Genius or puppet? I'm more inclined to believe the latter."
"That's right. You can't raise sharks in a pond, let alone dragons. That's the law of nature. It's a contradiction that people from a small place can be experts in everything."
The whispers of others around Zhou Na rose again.
"Zhou Na, do you think what they said is right?"
"Is Zhou Chen a puppet? A fake genius who succeeded through luck?"
Hao Ying's voice rang out.
She was very curious about how Zhou Na viewed Zhou Chen. She knew that Zhou Na and Zhou Chen did not get along, but from the moment she entered the banquet until now, she had not heard Zhou Na say a bad word about Zhou Chen.
"Being the top scorer in the province isn't something you can achieve by luck alone."
"As for whether he is a genius, perhaps the answer will be revealed soon."
Zhou Na murmured, and Hao Ying was slightly taken aback, a look of surprise on her face, as if she hadn't expected Zhou Na to say that.
But she had to admit that Zhou Na was right. Those people thought that Zhou Chen achieved his current success by luck and was someone else's puppet. Could someone else help him achieve such a top score in the provincial exam?
Absolutely impossible!
After Zhou Na's evaluation, Hao Ying couldn't help but wonder how Zhou Chen would prove himself with his abilities.
Judging from the current one-sided public opinion, it seems difficult.
Having heard too much flattery, Li Xiaolong was already bored and felt that the banquet could end tonight.
The objective has been achieved, and Zhou Chen has perfectly fallen into the trap he set.
Next, things will inevitably develop in the direction he predicted.
It's only a matter of time before the tech network shuts down.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaolong decided to leave.
Before leaving, he glanced at Zhou Chen one last time. Seeing Zhou Chen still chatting and laughing with his three roommates, he secretly shook his head, feeling that Zhou Chen was not worthy of being his opponent at all.
Even though it's so deserted around you, you still have the nerve to stay? Don't you feel ashamed?
That's incredibly shameless!
Li Xiaolong scoffed dismissively and looked away. Seeing that Li Xiaolong wanted to leave, everyone offered to see him off.
In an instant, the number of people around Li Xiaolong increased again.
As the crowd moved toward the door, many people still didn't forget to flatter Li Xiaolong, even those much older than him.
Not long after,
Li Xiaolong was surrounded by people as he arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall. Just as he was about to push the door open and leave,
Sudden,
The banquet hall doors opened by themselves, revealing a group of people in suits standing at the entrance.
Seeing a group of people arrive at the door,
Those who supported Li Xiaolong were stunned for a moment, falling into a full five seconds of silence.
The silence was broken only when someone recognized the man standing in the center.
"General Qi...?"
As a senior leader in Tencent Games, Qi Tianlei is naturally a familiar name to many game industry bosses.
No one expected Qi Tianlei to suddenly appear.
The game company bosses who formed the game alliance chamber of commerce with Li Xiaolong were all astonished, looking at each other in bewilderment, wondering what the purpose of Qi Tianlei's appearance was.
"Excuse me, everyone, I came uninvited. I hope I haven't disturbed you."
Qi Tianlei was polite in his words, but his actions were anything but polite as he walked straight into the banquet hall.
Everyone wore awkward smiles; no one wanted to offend Qi Tianlei, including Li Xiaolong himself.
"Mr. Qi, hello, I am Li Xiaolong..."
After regaining his senses, Li Xiaolong immediately smiled and extended his hand to introduce himself.
However,
Qi Tianlei seemed not to hear or see Li Xiaolong, ignoring Li Xiaolong's presence and directly bypassing him to loudly call out to Zhou Chen, who was more than ten meters away: "Boss Zhou, you're here too, what a coincidence."
Seeing Qi Tianlei arrive late, Zhou Chen smiled slightly and replied, "Yes, what a coincidence."
