Who wants to take the civil service exam after being reborn?

Chapter 644 Chen Zhuo, the Protector of His Own
"what?"

A bad feeling flashed through Chen's mind, but considering that Yi Baoyu already knew about his love life, he hesitated for a moment and said, "The one from Zhongda University."

"Oh~"

Yi Baoyu drawled out the last syllable: "Is her father the one from CITIC?"

Perhaps in the logic of these princesses, the quickest way to describe a person is "who his/her grandfather is, who his/her father is".

"Yes."

Chen responded cautiously.

"Humph~"

Gege replied with a playful tone, "Then go ahead. It's been so long, take good care of yourself."

Chen gave an awkward laugh and ignored the topic. "I'm still a novice chef, but I guess I'll be saying goodbye to that soon."

Yi Baoyu hung up the phone quickly, it seems that her mission in Guangzhou was basically completed.

When my childhood friends saw me, my reputation spread, and compared to my older brothers and sisters who were in real estate, acting, working in state-owned enterprise offices, or showing off at various international socialite parties...

Yi Baoyu's actions this time can be described as full of positive energy.

On a personal level, she paved the way for her family to successfully enter the new internet arena;

In terms of public welfare, he contributed a "silver spoon" of wealth to promoting the upgrading and transformation of the domestic electronics manufacturing industry and the rapid growth of local GDP.

The next day, Chen did not set off.

He was worried that if he bumped into Yi Baoyu at the airport, and the woman asked to see Sister Sweet, things would get out of control, so he deliberately delayed for a day.

That day, he simply returned to school, not to show off in front of his classmates, but because he could never forget his "origins".

Chen Zhe is a true protégé of Sun Yat-sen University, and the school has given him a lot of support, both overt and covert, along the way. Therefore, he should take the initiative, be proactive, and be sensible in reporting his thoughts to his teachers.

Feelings are like this: someone gives you half a pound of grapes, and you give them back eight ounces of bananas. They smile and remember it, but next time they'll give you a pound of apples.

However, now is the time to focus on key points before final exams, and even the leisurely winter sunshine cannot dispel the slightly oppressive atmosphere in the school.

But Chen was like a student who had been guaranteed admission to Tsinghua or Peking University before the college entrance examination, without any sense of tension.

It hadn't been many days since he last returned to school, but his status had already changed.

Last time I was on campus, although Tracing Technology had a learning network, a housing network, and a Tracing Mobile Assistant...

However, it still feels a bit vague to everyone, ultimately because it lacks something that can be "grounded" in reality.

This "landing" refers to tangible products, not virtual services that can only be accessed on computers and mobile phones.

This idea will certainly be somewhat outdated in 2025, but in the present, after the internet economy has experienced multiple bubbles, the real economy is still more reassuring.

Tangible physical products are also the most solid bridge between users and brands in this era.

For example, when a classmate walks towards him on Yixian Road at school, Chen Zhe doesn't actually know the person, but he smiles and raises his Youmi phone, saying, "Mr. Chen, the battery life of your phone is too low."

Chen paused for a moment, then immediately said, "I'm sorry, we will make improvements."

"It's ok."

The other party replied kindly, "Android is indeed more fun than Symbian."

After walking a few steps, another person came over.

"Mr. Chen, this phone gets hot easily."

"I've noted this down, and I guarantee that the temperature control will be significantly improved in the next version."

……

"Mr. Chen, the Plus size feels a bit big; girls with small hands might not be able to hold it."

"We will study how to optimize the grip feel for girls."

……

"Mr. Chen, I didn't manage to get a phone."

"Don't worry, it will be in stock in a week. Just let me know quietly and I'll give you priority when it arrives."

...In the past, no one would have greeted Chen like that.

However, because of the existence of "physical mobile phones", he suddenly had a reason to speak, and Chen's personal image changed from the ethereal "Internet concept" to the down-to-earth and reliable "screwman in an electronics factory".

Chen first went to see Principal Luo Jun, but Principal Luo was in a meeting.

He wasn't in a hurry, so he simply leaned against the wall in the corridor, looking down at his phone screen, and waited quietly outside the conference room door.

His unassuming demeanor made him look exactly like an ordinary male college student, so much so that several school leaders who hurried past him didn't even give him a second glance.

"Chen Zhe?"

I don't know how much time had passed, but suddenly someone called out that name.

"Ok?"

At that one address, the middle-level school leaders, professors, and teachers directly in front of them almost simultaneously stopped in their tracks, their eyes all turning to look in the direction of the voice.

Chen looked up and saw that it was Secretary Huang Yi from the Youth League Committee.

"Secretary Huang."

Chen nodded politely in greeting.

"Why are you here?"

Huang Yi was both amused and exasperated. Didn't you know you were a "big star" now? You were sitting in the corner without any airs at all.

There's been a lot of discussion at school lately:

First, 30 units of the Youmi phone were sold out, which translates to 9 million yuan in sales. So, how much is Chen Zhe now?
Second, is the speaker surnamed Yi really the one rumored to be?
No one knows about the previous profit and loss figures, since it's not a listed company and its financial reports don't need to be made public.

So at school, teachers often jokingly speculate whether Chen's net worth is several million or tens of millions.

As a result, 300,000 units of the Youmi phone were sold out immediately upon release, and this lurking "little crocodile" finally surfaced.

With sales of 9 million, even a rough estimate would put the profit in the hundreds of millions.

Who would have thought that this big boy in a Nike hoodie has quietly become a real billionaire?

At this moment, Chen Zhe was like Han Li, who had returned to his sect after successfully forming his Nascent Soul outside. Although he didn't say a word and remained low-key, he was radiating a dazzling golden "divine light".

Huang Yi was a shrewd and calculating school leader. Naturally, he couldn't let someone else snatch this coveted position first. He immediately put his arm around Chen's shoulder and said with a smile:

"Principal Luo, this won't end so soon. Why don't you come to my office and sit for a while? A friend just gave me a pound of aged tea a couple of days ago."

Seeing Chen Zhe being "intercepted" like this, some of the most respected professors in the school shook their heads.

Who wouldn't want to ask such an outstanding student, "Would you like to apply to my graduate program? I guarantee you'll get accepted!"

Upon arriving at Secretary Huang Yi's office, he indeed pulled out a cake of aged tea from deep within the cabinet.

Carefully pry off a piece, and the moment boiling water is poured into the purple clay teapot, the rising steam carrying the rich aroma of tea instantly spreads out, revealing a deep brown color like "999 Cold Remedy," a dark black with a hint of ochre red.

Chen Zhe was naturally knowledgeable; he knew that this was what aged tea looked like.

While draining the water, Secretary Huang Yi started a conversation: "Chen Zhe, do you know that many of our teachers are envious of Lao Zeng? He just bought a Mercedes-Benz E300 a few days ago."

Before Zeng Kun entered the retrospection, he was a miserable figure at school, looked down upon by the department and not valued by the school.

Like those little kids in the class who have no parents, they always sit in the most secluded corner, and anyone can come over and shove them a couple of times. The teacher sees it but doesn't care, and they've almost become a useless joke.

However, after entering the retrospective phase, Lao Zeng gradually gained vitality, fame, and prestige.

However, it seems that some people still describe him as a joke.

Chen Zhe would not allow it, because these are employees who have been retroactively hired.

"is it?"

Chen accepted the tea offered by Secretary Huang Yi with both hands and said with a smile, "That is truly an honor for the Mercedes-Benz E300."

Secretary Huang Yi was taken aback for a moment.

Chen Zhe lowered his head and silently sipped his tea.

The teasing in Secretary Huang Yi's eyes gradually faded, and his gaze toward the student became more solemn. He then sighed softly and said with emotion, "No wonder Old Zeng was willing to risk his life to work for you."
