The news that Zhao's son had won the college entrance examination championship had spread throughout the upper circles of Beijing.
Of course, this is nothing special. After all, there are so many elite children. Not to mention top scorers in the college entrance examination, it is common for them to achieve excellent results in prestigious foreign universities.
Moreover, this is a time when many people are touting how much better things are abroad.
Even among the children of high-ranking officials, many go abroad to study at prestigious universities to prove their worth.
After all, in China, many people can get into schools through connections.
These connections don't work abroad.
They really need to prove themselves with their own abilities.
In some ways, this seems to be even more valuable.
Zhao Chen didn't need to worry about these things at all. Even though he had studied abroad for several years and was considered a returned overseas student, the knowledge possessed by those foreign professors might not actually be as extensive as his own.
Moreover, Zhao Chen's greatest confidence comes from his knowledge and technology that are more than 20 years ahead of others.
These are things that even so-called professors today can't possess.
Therefore, he spent more time in college building connections, and as for knowledge, Professor Yao was probably the only one who could give him real guidance.
Therefore, having this understanding, Zhao Chen naturally doesn't place much importance on so-called achievements.
However, since he had already done it, he naturally wanted to do his best. Becoming the top scorer in the college entrance examination was not difficult for him; it was just something he did effortlessly.
But he can use this halo for a long time.
After all, no matter how influential these families are, they will still restrain themselves when it comes to the college entrance examination.
Moreover, his achievements can withstand any scrutiny.
He was just using this to prove that the Zhao family made the right choice in selecting him!
Of course, this is just the beginning, and one top scorer in the college entrance examination doesn't prove anything.
After all, there are top scorers every year, and every province has them; there are at least dozens a year.
In the end, very few of them actually managed to make a name for themselves.
But this halo is still very useful.
It's more than enough to intimidate some ordinary people.
Moreover, they are more likely to be convincing when doing certain things.
The Zhao family was naturally overjoyed with Zhao Chen's achievement. At the same time, they made a high-profile announcement that they would hold a grand mission tracking ceremony for Zhao Chen before the start of the new school year in September.
We will invite influential figures from the capital who are close to the Zhao family to participate. They are all prominent figures, so it is expected to be a very lively event.
Of course, the elite children raised by these families will also come to participate, which can be seen as a way to win over the Zhao family's prodigy.
But what those who attend the ceremony will think is something only they themselves know.
Anyway, Zhao Chen has nothing to be afraid of; he'll deal with whatever comes his way.
However, after the college entrance examination results came out, a group of universities flocked to Zhao Chen, all hoping that he would join them.
In the end, Zhao Chen rejected all offers and only considered Tsinghua University, since he had already discussed it with Professor Yao.
Professor Yao also knew that his purpose in going to Tsinghua University was twofold: to accompany his girlfriend and to recruit more outstanding talents.
Interestingly, Shen Qingyue performed exceptionally well this time. Although she didn't get the top score, her result was second only to Zhao Chen!
This couple truly took the top two spots in the college entrance examination.
This story not only became a local legend, but it even made the headlines on Tencent's portal website.
This time, Tencent really capitalized on Zhao Chen's status as a top scorer to generate a huge surge in traffic.
It also directly partnered with the legendary game, as well as website navigation, antivirus software, and the newly launched search engine Baidu, for a massive promotional campaign.
As a result, because of the college entrance examination season, everyone pays great attention to this topic, and naturally another wave of new users is accumulated.
These new users are all prospective college students, and at this time they are all very concerned about the topic of college entrance examination scores.
As a result, the image of Zhao Chen, with his handsome face and incredibly pretentious manner, answering reporters' questions was once again pushed to the forefront of the internet.
The most crucial point is that he actually won the top score in the imperial examination, and he also helped his girlfriend get the second-highest score.
This really caused a media uproar.
The reporters who had interviewed Zhao Chen before all had a very deep impression of him at this point.
They then realized that the kid really did have the ability and confidence!
He actually became the top scorer in the college entrance examination.
Moreover, Zhao Chen already had this confidence right after leaving the exam room, which is enough to prove that he has the necessary foundation.
At this moment, everything was perfectly logical for Zhao Chen.
After that, countless people came to invite him for interviews, but Zhao Chen rejected almost all of them.
The only exclusive interview was featured on the homepage of Tencent's portal website.
This made a bunch of portal websites' competitors grit their teeth in anger, after all, everyone knows very well what is most important in the Internet age.
It's all about traffic! In the current state, it's like they've lost a huge amount of traffic for nothing.
But the penguins snatched it away.
They had nothing to say about this, since these kinds of things all depend on individual ability.
However, seeing Zhao Chen's exclusive interview made it to the top of Tencent's homepage.
It really brought a unique feeling to my heart.
The interviews naturally covered topics of great public interest:
"Zhao Chen, do you have any special methods or techniques for studying?"
Zhao Chen replied, "Just listen attentively in class, strive for improvement every day, and study hard."
Reporter: "...So, Zhao Chen, do you usually work harder than others? Is that why you have such good grades?"
Zhao Chen: "No, I'm just naturally talented. I usually spend most of my time reading other books."
"Because my grades have always been very stable, the school teachers don't bother with me."
“I had already mastered all the high school knowledge since I transferred to this school.”
"So I spend the rest of my time learning things that interest me, and tutoring my friend in my spare time to help him improve his grades."
"This is my usual campus life..."
Goodness, the reporter wanted to hear an inspirational story, but Zhao Chen said he relied on talent, so the reporter couldn't continue.
However, subsequent interviews asked some interesting questions, which quickly brought Zhao Chen's unique image as a top scorer to the public's attention.
Of course, Zhao Chen also became famous as a result.
Many top scorers from various provinces were interviewed, but Zhao Chen was undoubtedly the most special one.
Because he is so handsome, and most importantly, he used to be so fat, but now he has not only successfully lost weight and become a handsome man, but also become the top scorer in the college entrance examination.
In no time, the rumors about Zhao Chen became a true legend, and even spurred every schoolchild to look at him and see that he was a top student, and that he only succeeded after working hard and losing weight!
For some reason, the rumors about Zhao Chen have become increasingly exaggerated.
Of course, those who follow Zhao Chen couldn't help but conduct new analyses of him at this point.
Especially in the capital, whether they are friends or rivals, they have begun a new round of intelligence gathering on everything related to Zhao Chen!
