Going home for the New Year during the winter break, I encountered a cool school girl on the high-sp

A slightly embarrassed smile appeared on Chen Chen's face as he waved his hand and said:

"It's just good luck."

Although starting a business is indeed a remarkable thing among students.

Being praised so openly and generously by Zhou Yecheng made Chen Chen feel a little embarrassed.

On the one hand, he knows that his entrepreneurial journey is far more complex than just "good luck." Only he knows best the hardships, confusion, and countless times he persevered through gritted teeth.

On the other hand, he is naturally low-key and not used to showing off his achievements in front of others.

Zhou Yecheng, however, seemed oblivious to Chen Chen's discomfort, and continued to speak excitedly:

"Senior Chen Chen, don't be modest! Luck can't always favor one person, you must have something special about you."

Tell me, how did you finally decide to start your own business? I've always been really interested in it, and I might even want to go down this path someday.

Lin Muxi gently took Chen Chen's arm and chimed in with a smile:
"He's just too low-key, but he's actually put in a lot of effort behind the scenes. Since you're so interested, Zhou, let Chen Chen share his experience with you, which can also be considered as pointing you in the right direction."

Chen Chen glanced helplessly at Lin Muxi, knowing he couldn't refuse, and after a moment's thought, slowly said:
"Actually, there's nothing special about it. I just discovered a market demand and thought I could give it a try, so I just went for it."

Starting a business isn't just about having an idea; you also need the determination to persevere and the courage to face failure. Along the way, you'll encounter all sorts of challenges—funding, connections, technology—and you'll have to find solutions for each one on your own.

Zhou Yecheng listened intently, his eyes shining, nodding frequently, and hurriedly jotting down the key points Chen Chen had mentioned in his notebook:

"You're absolutely right, senior. I was only thinking about the glory of a successful startup and never seriously considered these difficulties."

During your entrepreneurial journey, have you ever experienced moments where you felt like you couldn't keep going?

Chen Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, lost in memories:
"Yes, there are too many. During the most difficult time, we were sabotaged by our competitors, and it felt like the whole project was going to fail. Fortunately, our team was united enough."

Back then, the pressure was so immense that I couldn't sleep at night; every time I opened my eyes or closed them, all I could think about were problems.

"So how was it resolved in the end?"

Zhou Yecheng pressed for an answer.

Chen Chen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a relieved smile:

"It relies on connections and a team. Everyone works together to rethink our approach, adjust our direction, and identify the problems and the people behind them."

Fortunately, we overcame all the difficulties in the end, and it made me realize how powerful a team can be. So if you ever start a business, you must build a reliable team, and most importantly, have a strong network of contacts.

Last time, if it weren't for Yan Zihao and Uncle Lin's connections, his studio would have had to close down.

Zhou Yecheng treasured these words and carefully wrote them down one by one, remarking with emotion:

"Senior, thank you so much today. I feel I've learned so much from what you said and have gained a new understanding of entrepreneurship."

Chen Chen patted him on the shoulder:

"You're welcome, we've all been there. But I still want to remind you that starting a business is risky, so you must think carefully before making a decision and act only after you've thought it through."

Zhou Yecheng nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with determination:
"Don't worry, senior, I've got it. I'll definitely plan carefully and won't act impulsively."

Chen Chen's lips curled slightly upward, revealing a gentle smile, and he said softly:
"It's getting late, let's log off now."

As he spoke, he prepared to exit the game.

Upon hearing that Chen Chen was about to log off, Zhou Yecheng became anxious and quickly said, "Senior, I have many questions I'd like to ask you, and I really hope we can exchange ideas more. Could I come see you tomorrow?"

Chen Chen was slightly taken aback, and his hand, which was about to exit the game, stopped.

He pondered for a moment, his face still bearing that gentle, spring-like smile, and said:

"Sure, but I have a really full schedule tomorrow, so I might not have much time to spare for you."

Zhou Yecheng didn't care at all and immediately said:
"It's okay, senior, I'll come to your class to find you tomorrow!"

Chen Chen was somewhat surprised and asked, "Don't you have classes?"

Zhou Yecheng, looking relaxed, casually waved his hand and said nonchalantly:
"Oh, it's just missing one or two classes, it's really no big deal. Haha, I was just kidding."

I've thought about it carefully. I don't have class tomorrow afternoon, so I'll come find you then, senior, is that okay?

Chen Chen shook his head slightly, a helpless smile on his face, and said:
"Alright, since you're so insistent, come over tomorrow afternoon. I have a computer class tomorrow afternoon, so please contact me beforehand."

"Okay! Thank you so much, senior!" Zhou Yecheng's voice rose eight octaves involuntarily with excitement.

……

The next afternoon, Zhou Yecheng took out his phone and sent Chen Chen a message, informing him that he had arrived outside the classroom.

After receiving the message, Chen Chen looked in the direction Zhou Yecheng indicated and indeed saw a boy with a buzz cut waving enthusiastically at him.

The boy in front of me was completely different from the one who had cursed and swore in the game last night.

Last night, the "Mad Dog 2.0" in the game was like a truly mad dog, venting its rage wantonly.

What appeared before them now resembled a well-behaved little puppy, exuding a completely different aura from last night.

Chen Chen paused for a moment, then smiled faintly, nodded to Zhou Yecheng, and walked up to him.

"Senior!"

When Zhou Yecheng saw Chen Chen, a bright smile immediately appeared on his face, and he jogged over to greet him.

"Here he comes."

Chen Chen looked at Zhou Yecheng in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little impressed by the huge contrast in his appearance.

"Hey, senior, did I disturb your class?"

Zhou Yecheng scratched his head, a hint of apprehension in his eyes.

"Fortunately, I'm familiar with the content of this lesson, so it's not a problem."

Chen Chen waved his hand. "What exactly do you want to ask me?"

Just then, Lü Zihan, Jiang Tao, and Zhou Yuyang walked over together.

Seeing Chen Chen and Zhou Yecheng standing side by side, Lü Zihan looked puzzled and asked:
"Chen Ergou, class is about to start, what are you doing here? Hey, wait a minute, aren't you a freshman? What are you doing in our sophomore turf?"

Chen Chen smiled helplessly and pointed at Zhou Yecheng, saying:

"This is a friend I met in the game last night. He needs to talk to me about something. Come, let me introduce you. This is Zhou Yecheng, and these three are Lü Zihan, Jiang Tao, and Zhou Yuyang." (End of Chapter)
