Chapter 48 The Ye family didn't cultivate me in any way.
The rankings are read from the back to the front.
If Zhou Chi'an is in second place, then Ye Zhen is in first place.
He Baizhou smiled happily: "That's right, she's number one."
Ye Zhenzhu was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth to dust. How could she let Ye Zhen get first place?
Ye Chengbei also found it unbelievable: "You can just assign Ye Zhen any ranking, why bother assigning her first place?"
"Yes, Brother Baizhou, it's easy to expose someone who's in first place."
Ye Zhenzhu was extremely jealous.
Why should that bitch Ye Zhen get the benefit?
He Baizhou paused for a moment: "This was arranged by my older brother."
Ye Zhenzhu was so angry that her nose almost crooked: "Your older brother is really something."
At this point, Ye Zhen also started to have opinions about He Baizhou's older brother; she didn't need him to make any arrangements at all.
Zhou Chi'an went on stage to receive the award, and then Ye Zhen was next.
Ye Zhen walked over and stood next to Zhou Chi'an.
The host glanced at them and said, "You two are the same age, so young and outstanding, you look more like siblings."
Looking at Ye Zhen and Zhou Chi'an on stage, Zhao Wanru felt a sudden, uncontrollable pain in her heart, and she momentarily found it hard to breathe.
Ye Zhenzhu quickly helped Zhao Wanru up: "Mom, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just suddenly felt short of breath."
Zhao Wanru looked at the two people on the stage with a complicated expression.
Ye Zhenzhu followed Zhao Wanru's gaze, assuming she was looking at Ye Zhen, and immediately felt uncomfortable: "Mom, my sister has made such a big splash, and she'll be interviewed by reporters later. But my sister has never seen the world before, what if she says something wrong?"
"You're right, let's go and be interviewed by reporters later."
Zhao Wanru also felt that if Ye Zhen said something wrong, it would have a negative impact on Ye Jia.
He Baizhou didn't object after hearing this. Indeed, Ye Zhen was an orphan and hadn't seen much of the world. Her first place was arranged by her older brother because of him.
It's probably better for Ye Zhen not to give interviews; it would be troublesome if her mother found out about anything bad.
The people in the audience decided on the interview and got up to leave.
Liu Qing, who was sitting next to them, overheard their conversation and immediately became furious.
How could the Ye family be so shameless?
Soon, Ye Zhen and Zhou Chi'an returned with their bonus checks.
Ye Zhen breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see any members of the Ye family. She had been worried that if the Ye family continued to pursue the matter of Zhou Chi'an assaulting someone, what would she do?
Liu Qing said angrily, "The Ye family went too far. You should have been interviewed by reporters after winning first place, but they went instead."
They even said that Ye Zhen was naive and inexperienced, and that they were worried Ye Zhen might say the wrong thing.
That's favoritism.
If you're really worried that Ye Zhen will say the wrong thing, you can teach her how to speak, instead of directly depriving her of the opportunity to appear in public.
No one is born knowing everything; everyone has to learn. It's not Ye Zhen's fault that she's been living a life of wandering for so many years.
Ye Zhen remained calm after hearing this: "It's okay, I don't like showing off anyway, let's go."
Zhou Chi'an glanced at Ye Zhen: "You finally got first place through connections, don't you want to show off?"
"I'll say it one last time: I earned my position through merit, not by using connections. You can't just listen to their nonsense and actually believe it, can you?"
Ye Zhen was speechless, but no matter what she said, no one believed her.
Liu Qing spoke up: "Zhou Chi'an, you just saw what the Ye family was like. Is it really that hard to admit that someone is outstanding?"
Zhou Chi'an frowned: "You don't know the methods of the rich. You're too naive."
As soon as he finished speaking, several reporters rushed over.
"Ye Zhen, I heard you were an orphan and never received any formal training. How did you suddenly become so outstanding? Did you teach yourself programming?"
Ye Zhen hadn't expected that a reporter would come to interview her.
At this moment, Ye Zhenzhu came over and took Ye Zhen's arm: "Of course, you were raised by the Ye family."
Zhao Wanru also walked over with a smile: "That's right. Although Ye Zhen was separated from her family due to some accidents, she is still my biological daughter. So as soon as she came back, I arranged for her to receive elite education."
Ye Chengbei squeezed in and said, "If it weren't for the Ye family's support, how could she, an orphan, have achieved what she has today?"
If He Baizhou hadn't pulled strings, Ye Zhen would never have had a chance to win first place.
Originally, the family went to the reporters' place to be interviewed on behalf of Ye Zhen, but they didn't expect the reporters to be so tactless and insist on interviewing Ye Zhen, this country bumpkin.
Ye Zhen listened quietly to the Ye family members, without saying a word.
She was also pushed aside by the Ye family.
However, the reporter moved in front of Ye Zhen and said, "Say a few words."
"I really have nothing to say."
Ye Zhen remained expressionless, her eyes filled with mockery.
Ye Zhenzhu quickly said, "I'm just shy. You can ask me whatever you want."
If only she could participate in this competition, relying on the system to copy Ye Zhen's work, this first place would belong to her.
Liu Qing chimed in, her words carrying a veiled barb: "Have you no shame? The reporter interviewed the number one, why are you trying to piggyback on everything?"
Ye Zhenzhu blushed instantly with embarrassment.
One of the reporters, seeing this, asked, "Ye Zhen, is there something you're having trouble saying?"
At this moment, everyone looked at Ye Zhen.
When asked by reporters, Ye Zhen took a deep breath and said, "I have no secrets, but my number one priority is my own hobbies. My family didn't cultivate me in any way."
Ye Chengbei quickly said, "Ye Zhen, why didn't the Ye family nurture you?"
"So what did you train me in? Did you hire a tutor to help me with my studies?"
Ye Zhen's casual question left Ye Chengbei stunned, as if he really didn't.
Zhao Wanru said in surprise, "If you like this, you can just say so, and your family will definitely arrange it for you."
Ye Zhen gave a mocking smile: "So that means they didn't arrange anything for me."
After listening, the reporter asked, "Ye Zhen, are you self-taught?"
Ye Zhen nodded: "Yes, it's because I like it myself. But I also owe a lot to a friend who helped me and taught me a lot."
Who is that friend?
Ye Zhen paused for a moment: "Keep it a secret."
The reporter then asked, "Ye Zhen, how did you become so excellent through self-study? Do you have any experience to share with everyone?"
"Yes, the key is to practice more questions. I also have to thank the director of the orphanage, who instilled good habits in me from a young age. I owe everything I am today to her."
When Ye Zhen mentioned the dean's mother, her tone was very gentle.
Zhao Wanru watched from the side, and suddenly felt uneasy.
She suddenly remembered that Ye Zhen hadn't called her "Mom" once since the day she came back.
Is Ye Zhen deliberately distancing herself from me?
