Never mind, we still have to rely on her.
"What is your name?"
"Chen Ke".
"May I ask what your score was on the college entrance exam back then?"
"702"
"Wow, that's really tall! You're a true academic star! What are your dreams? Or what do you plan to do after graduation?"
"Let's start a business."
Bai Rongrong gave a thumbs up after hearing this, saying that top students do have ideas.
"Okay, thank you, goodbye." Although Bai Rongrong really wanted to ask more questions, she was afraid of taking up other people's time, so she had to give up.
Chen Ke nodded. "You're welcome."
After Chen Ke left, Bai Rongrong rubbed her slightly flushed cheeks. This boy was really so elegant and polite.
The comments section was filled with praise.
Chen Ke is indeed good-looking, but he lacks charisma.
The original owner was insecure because of her poor background, but arrogant because of her college entrance exam results. She was timid and unable to stand up straight, while looking down on others with disdain. In addition, she had low emotional intelligence and made all sorts of annoying and mysterious moves. Her originally decent face ended up being hated by everyone.
Now, his appearance has changed, and his whole demeanor has changed drastically. He stands tall with his back straight and acts with grace, humility, and politeness. This is why Bai Rongrong and the viewers in the live stream immediately thought that Chen Ke was a handsome and charismatic man.
Chen Ke didn't take this small matter to heart at all. When he arrived at the train station, the timing was perfect; the train he was waiting for was just pulling into the station.
Chen Ke then chose a conspicuous spot so that anyone who came out could see him at a glance.
Zhang Changsheng carried an enormous backpack on his back and two plastic bags used for storing fertilizer in the countryside in his hands. With so much stuff and so many people, he was met with a lot of disdain when he squeezed out of the passageway, sweating profusely.
Looking at the spacious and bright hall, and the brightly dressed city people, Zhang Changsheng, who thought he was mentally prepared, stood at the exit for a long time, unable to take a step.
Can he really survive in such a metropolis?
"Hey! What's wrong with you? Why are you blocking this place with all this stuff?!"
"Yeah, are we still going or not?"
A woman was hit on the head by Zhang Changsheng's backpack and immediately flew into a rage. "What's wrong with you? You're carrying all these bags, are you fleeing for your life? Anyone can come to the capital like this, you're ruining the city's appearance! Hurry up and go back to where you came from. You're so annoying, you've messed up my hair."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm just looking for the person who's supposed to pick me up. I'll leave right away, I'm so sorry."
"Oh my, someone's here to pick you up? You country bumpkin actually know someone in the capital? Maybe it's another country bumpkin? Hehehe..."
Chen Ke glanced down at his phone, and when he looked up, the exit was blocked by a bunch of people, making a racket as if something had happened.
Chen Ke hadn't paid much attention at first, but when he saw the blue-black backpack that was taller than a person, he quickly went over to it.
"Excuse me, could you move aside?" Chen Ke called out uncertainly, looking at the backpack that was half his height. "Brother Zhang?"
When Zhang Changsheng turned around and confirmed that it really was Chen Ke, the tall man, who was over 1.8 meters tall, became so excited that his eyes turned red. "Ake, is it Ake? I'm Zhang Erge."
Chen Ke took a large woven bag from Zhang Changsheng's hand, looked at the woman opposite him, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Changsheng straightened his back and said to the woman, "Look, the person who's here to pick me up is here. He's not some country bumpkin; he's a top student from Beijing University!" His voice was so loud that everyone around could hear him.
The woman awkwardly avoided Chen Ke's gaze, muttering under her breath, "He's a top student from Beijing, and you're not. What's there to be so smug about!"
Zhang Changsheng, with his sharp ears, immediately retorted, "He's my brother! My brother is a top student from Beijing, how can I not be proud!"
Those around him nodded in agreement, "Students from Jingbei are indeed something to be proud of!"
"Yes, yes, your brother is really something." Someone gave a thumbs up.
This made Zhang Changsheng blush. He glanced at Chen Ke and chuckled, "Of course, my brother is great. He not only came to pick me up, but also helped me with my luggage."
This was originally a small matter, but Zhang Changsheng felt flattered that Chen Ke, who had never done any work in his hometown, would help him carry his luggage as soon as he arrived.
Chen Ke smiled helplessly, "Thank you everyone." Then he said to Zhang Changsheng, "Second Brother Zhang, let's go out first, so we don't block their way."
"Okay, okay, you go first, I'll follow you."
Finally, they reached a less crowded area, and Zhang Changsheng insisted on carrying the woven bag himself. "Second brother, do it yourself. You've never done any work at home since you were a child. What if you get tired?"
If Chen Ke didn't know that Zhang Changsheng was truly an honest man, he would have thought that these words were sarcastic.
"Come on, give it to me. This little bit of weight is nothing. I'll carry it and leave. What if you get tired and can't study properly? If my dad and the others find out, they'll definitely beat me with bamboo sticks."
Chen Ke's body was indeed "weak," and he didn't compete with Zhang Changsheng, only thinking that he would have time to train and recover in the future.
Because he had too much luggage, Chen Ke took a taxi, but the backpack was so big that the taxi's trunk couldn't be closed.
In the back seat, Zhang Changsheng leaned out the car window, marveling at the skyscrapers outside.
"My God, this building is so tall! Do we need to take a ride on that... that electric thing again?"
"elevator."
"Ah, right, the elevator."
However, after watching for a while, Zhang Changsheng sat back down listlessly.
Chen Ke sensed his sudden drop in mood and asked, "What's wrong?"
“Ake, do you think I can really live in a city like this? I’m uneducated, I don’t have any skills, and I’m not very bright. All I have left is my strength to do manual labor. But I just saw a construction site where they’re using machinery to build houses. What can I do?” Zhang Changsheng seemed to be talking to Chen Ke, but it also sounded like he was talking to himself.
Chen Ke knew that this was the emotion that every rural person who came to the big city would feel. Some could adapt quickly and turn it into motivation, like Zhang Changsheng. In the original owner's memory, Zhang Changsheng was doing quite well, at least he had established himself.
Those who couldn't adapt, like the original owner, had a much higher starting point than most people who came from the countryside to work hard in the city, but they were always self-conscious, escapist, and had high aspirations but low abilities. In the end, because of selfishness and vanity, they not only harmed their families but also themselves.
"Do you have any ideas?" Chen Ke believed that someone who dared to step out of their comfort zone and come to a big city like Beijing to make a living should have plenty of courage and ideas.
He is about to start his own business, and he also has his studies to attend to. If he had a trustworthy helper, his life would be much easier.
