Rebirth begins with picking up a cold and aloof school beauty

In the blink of an eye, it's Saturday again, and Monday has passed.

It was raining outside, and the wind was biting cold.

But as soon as school was over at noon, the students of Class 10 of Senior Three still scattered like fish and birds.

They held up their umbrellas and rushed out of the school.

In the senior high school building, Chen Zhou leaned against the railing of the second-floor corridor, waiting for Xia Yu.

Long Jiajia, Liang Wenbo, and Liu Xing surrounded him.

Liang Wenbo said, "Teacher Gao still likes to extend class time as much as ever."

Liu Xing asked, "Chen Zhou, what are your plans for this weekend?"

Chen Zhou laughed and said, "To make money, of course."

Liu Xing quipped, "You've already hooked up with a rich young woman, do you still need to make money?"

"Long Jiajia said that Xia Yu's family owns a Rolls-Royce."

Chen Zhou laughed and thought to himself, "There's more than one."

Long Jiajia gestured for Liu Xing to be quiet and lowered her voice.

"Shh, keep your voice down."

"If Teacher Gao hears this, we'll be in big trouble."

Liu Xing pursed his lips, "Okay."

Liang Wenbo asked curiously, "Chen Zhou, weren't you focused on preparing for the competition? Why are you out making money again?"

Immediately afterward, Liang Wenbo asked with concern, "Um... how are you planning to make money? Can I help you?"

Chen Zhou laughed and said, "Don't worry, we'll always be brothers in our hearts."

Liang Wenbo understood, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed excitedly, "If I become rich and powerful, I will not forget you!"

Chen Zhou said, "Yes! That's exactly what I meant."

Liang Wenbo chuckled, "Good brother!"

Chen Zhou said, "Once I become emperor, I will appoint you as Grand Eunuch and bestow upon you the title of Nine Thousand Years."

Liang Wenbo didn't chuckle; instead, he said, "You bastard! Fuck!"

Long Jiajia and Liu Xing burst into laughter.

Just then, Gao Qin walked out of the front door of the classroom next door.

Apart from Chen Zhou, the other three immediately became obedient, suppressed their smiles, and greeted him respectfully, "Hello, Teacher Gao."

Gao Qin nodded slightly and asked, "Are you all staying here waiting for someone?"

Liu Xing and Liang Wenbo exchanged a glance and shook their heads repeatedly.

"Goodbye, Professor Gao."

They didn't want to be held back by Teacher Gao and given another lecture, so they quickly slipped away.

Gao Qin asked, "Long Jiajia, who are you waiting for?"

Long Jiajia cleverly replied, "I'm waiting for Xu Lele. There's something going on at the anime club, and I need to talk to her about it."

Gao Qin said sternly, "You're all in your final year of high school now. You'd better put your club anxieties aside and focus on your studies! Understand?"

Long Jiajia nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Teacher Gao, I understand."

Gao Qin then asked, "Chen Zhou, what about you? Who are you waiting for?"

Gao Qin looked at him with suspicion.

Chen Zhou smiled calmly and said, "Professor Gao, I'm waiting for Xia Yu."

Long Jiajia was surprised: "?"

Dude, are you really that brave?

Gao Qin was also quite surprised.

How dare this kid say such a thing to my face? And so openly at that?

Gao Qin asked, "Why are you waiting for Xia Yu?"

At that moment, Chen Zhou saw Xia Yu's beautiful figure and waved to her.

Xia Yu's eyes lit up when she saw Chen Zhou, but she became a little reserved when she saw her aunt.

She walked over cautiously.

"Chen Zhou, you were looking for me?" Xia Yu asked softly.

Chen Zhou asked, "How's your memorization of classical poems going lately?"

Xia Yu obediently replied, "These past two days, I've been able to recite 'Bring in the Wine' and 'The Song of the Pipa' very fluently."

Upon hearing this, Gao Qin felt as if a series of turbulent waves were surging within her.

She asked incredulously, "Little Fish, you... you can talk now, right?"

Xia Yu shook her head. "Auntie, I'm still a little slow."

"But I don't stutter as much anymore."

Upon hearing this, Gao Qin clenched her fists, tears welling up in her eyes!

For so many years, she had felt guilty about Xia Yu's stutter.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yu's stuttering suddenly disappeared!

Gao Qin asked, "So, Little Fish, how did you do that?"

"You wouldn't happen to be an actor like Chen Zhou, would you?"

Xia Yu waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no."

Xu Lele explained on behalf of her best friend, "Teacher Gao, you've misunderstood. Xiaoyuer doesn't have that kind of acting skill."

"She was able to change entirely because of Chen Zhou's help."

Gao Qin looked at Chen Zhou with a puzzled expression. "You?"

"What did you do now?"

Chen Zhou smiled and said, "It's nothing really. I just helped Xia Yu rebuild her confidence and developed some specific training plans for her."

"It's mainly due to Xia Yu's own hard work."

Gao Qin seemed to understand, but she knew in her heart that Chen Zhou had made a great contribution to this.

Gao Qin exclaimed, "Chen Zhou, you've made me think more highly of you now!"

"I'll remember this favor."

Chen Zhou said, "Professor Gao, you're too kind. It was nothing, just a small favor."

Gao Qin thought to herself, "This kid is quite modest."

But in any case, a knot in my heart that had been tied up for many years has finally been untied.

Peace of mind.

Gao Qin smiled and said to the group in front of her, "Alright, I won't bother you anymore. You can go do whatever you need to do."

"Chen Zhou, prepare well for next week's competition training camp and provincial team selection."

"Also, remember to keep my relationship with Xia Yu a secret."

Chen Zhou and the others all made the "OK" sign.

After watching Teacher Gao leave.

Long Jiajia and Xu Lele breathed a sigh of relief and started talking back and forth.

"Oh my god, I get so nervous every time I see Teacher Gao!"

"Isn't that right? In our senior year, only Chen Zhou dares to face Teacher Gao directly and can chat and laugh with her."

"Chen Zhou, I call you a true warrior!"

Chen Zhou smiled but didn't reply. Instead, he said to Xia Yu, "Let's go eat."

Xia Yu nodded slightly and gave a soft "hmm".

But the next second, she pulled a dark blue scarf out of her backpack.

Xia Yu said happily, "Chen Zhou~, this is for you."

Chen Zhou was stunned for a moment. "This... you knitted it?"

Xia Yu nodded, overjoyed, "Mmm!"

Chen Zhou felt a warmth in his heart, took the scarf, and smiled, saying, "Xia Xiaomiao, you must have been knitting this for a long time?"

Xia Yu shook her head slightly. "No, it's very simple and quick."

"Chen Zhou~, put it on quickly." Xia Yu's eyes were full of anticipation.

Chen Zhou nodded, put on the scarf, and suddenly felt that the weather wasn't so cold anymore.

My heart felt warm.

At this moment, Xia Yu reached out and tied Chen Zhou's scarf, then straightened his collar. "All done." Xia Yu's beautiful eyes crinkled with a smile.

Chen Zhou looked at Xia Yu with tenderness, then reached out and took her hand.

Chen Zhou smiled and said, "Let's go, let's have a big lunch."

Xia Yu smiled happily, "Okay~"

Chen Zhou added, "Xia Xiaomiao, I don't know how to knit scarves, but it's getting cold. I'll go buy you one after dinner, okay?"

Xia Yu was even happier to receive a gift from her sweetheart.

She smiled radiantly, "Okay~~"

Seeing this, Long Jiajia and Xu Lele were speechless.

Long Jiajia said, "Lele, you're always following them around, you must be eating dog food every day, right? You must be exhausted!"

Xu Lele said, moved, "It's so nice to be understood!"

Long Jiajia then asked, "Where are we going later?"

Xu Lele said, "Of course I'll go with them and get a free meal!"

Long Jiajia hesitated and said, "Isn't that a bad idea? Chen Zhou doesn't have much money to begin with."

Xu Lele said, "What do you know? He has hundreds of thousands of yuan in his hands right now."

Upon hearing this, Long Jiajia's pupils dilated.

"What did you say? Hundreds of thousands!"

Xu Lele said, "Yeah, you're his good buddy, didn't you know?"

Jiajia, the intelligence chief of Longtang, shook her head, but her face immediately showed a gossipy nature.

She quickly asked, "I really don't know! Tell me quickly, where did Chen Zhou get the money? What happened?"

"Lele, explain yourself clearly, don't leave out a single word!"

At noon, Xu Lele and Long Jiajia treated Chen Zhou to a huge meal.

Eat your fill of hamburgers and fried chicken, and drink your fill of Coke and Sprite.

The two of them were so full they could barely walk.

Afterwards, Chen Zhou and Xia Yu went shopping at the mall.

When Xia Yu returned to KFC, she had a red scarf around her fair neck.

Xu Lele immediately understood and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, Chen Zhou, you understand the principle of 'red and blue make a perfect pair' since ancient times."

Xia Yu blushed, and Chen Zhou laughed heartily.

Chen Zhou said, "I'm taking Xiaoyuer to the company later. What are your plans?"

Xu Lele shrugged and said, "I don't care."

Long Jiajia thought for a moment and asked, "Chen Zhou, can we also visit your company?"

Chen Zhou said, "Sure, it's not a secret."

Long Jiajia's eyes lit up. "Great!"

·

It was past one o'clock in the afternoon, and the winter rain was drizzling and the cold wind was biting.

A taxi stopped by the roadside at Fengxiang Lake Park, and a group of four people got out.

Holding two umbrellas, Chen Zhou and the others walked towards the lakeside villa.

Before long, they arrived outside Fish Boat Technology Company.

Long Jiajia blinked, then asked hesitantly, "Chen Zhou, this is your company? A villa?!"

Chen Zhou smiled and explained, "It's a commercial villa, far from the CBD, so it's quite cheap. Don't think I'm some kind of super-rich man now."

Long Jiajia said, "You're not even a millionaire? My monthly living expenses are only a few hundred!"

Xu Lele said, "Me too!"

Then, she turned to her best friend and joked, "Little Fish, let me ask you something."

"You have a boyfriend now, are you still looking for a girlfriend?"

Xia Yu was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook her head and waved her delicate hand.

"No, no!" Xia Yu was terrified.

Upon seeing this, Xu Lele burst into laughter.

"Little Fish, I was just teasing you. If I were really some kind of lesbian, Chen Zhou wouldn't even be in the running."

Chen Zhou said confidently, "It's hard to say."

Xu Lele: ?

She was taken aback at first, but quickly realized that Chen Zhou had indeed known Xia Yu before she did.

Before she even met Xiaoyuer, Xiaoyuer had already secretly fallen for Chen Zhou!

Thinking of this, Xu Lele pouted and remained silent.

An umbrella was placed under the eaves.

Chen Zhou said, "Alright, let's not stay outside anymore, let's go inside."

"Let me show you around my business empire!"

Long Jiajia asked, puzzled, "A business empire?"

Chen Zhou smiled. "The beginnings of a business empire."

Long Jiajia: "…………"

At this very moment, inside the company.

Ren Junshuang, Yu Xiu, and two other game development engineers chatted while working.

Yu Xiudao said, "Didn't the boss say he was coming to the company today? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"

Ren Junshuang said, "It should be soon, but the boss might have something to do right now."

Yu Xiudao asked, "Xiao Ren, you said before that our boss was bringing the second-largest shareholder today, is that true?"

Ren Junshuang said, "That's what the boss told me."

The engineer in the blue plaid shirt said, "I remember our boss saying that the company's second-largest shareholder is a woman, right?"

Ren Junshuang nodded, "Yes."

The programmer in the red plaid shirt asked curiously, "I wonder how old our company's second boss is? Is he pretty or not?"

Ren Junshuang shook his head. "I don't know."

Yu Xiu joked, "If you ask me, she's probably not as young and beautiful as our Xiao Ren."

The two programmers laughed and said, "That's right, that's right."

"Xiao Ren's looks are undeniable!"

Ren Junshuang blushed. "Why are you suddenly dragging me into this?"

Yu Xiu teased again, "Xiao Ren, why are you blushing? If you ask me, you should find a chance to find out if the boss has a girlfriend."

"If he doesn't have a girlfriend, you'll have a chance to become our company's boss's wife."

Ren Junshuang blushed even more and said reproachfully, "Brother Yu, what nonsense are you talking about?"

The programmer in the red plaid shirt said, "Brother Yu is right, Xiao Ren. Isn't being a boss's wife more promising than being a graphic designer?"

Ren Junshuang said, "That's impossible. I'm three years older than our boss."

Yu Xiudao said, "A woman three years older than you is like holding a gold brick; Xiao Ren, don't you understand?"

Hearing this, Ren Junshuang felt both ashamed and delighted, lowered her head, and couldn't help but let her mind wander.

Could I really have a chance to become a boss lady?

But she had only been in her reverie for less than five seconds when a voice pulled her back to reality.

"Clap clap clap!"

The sound of clapping rang out, and Yu Xiu stood up in surprise. "Boss!"

Then Chen Zhou's voice came, "Everyone, come here for a moment."

Yu Xiu and the other three immediately went over from their workstations.

But coincidentally, their eyes were drawn to Xia Yu.

Regardless of gender, everyone's eyes were glued to them!

Yu Xiu thought to himself: My God! There are such beautiful girls? I've lived for decades and this is the first time I've ever seen such a stunning beauty!

The two programmers thought to themselves: My God! Could she be the company's second-largest shareholder?

So beautiful! Absolutely stunning! More beautiful than female celebrities!

Ren Junshuang secretly thought: Is she the boss's girlfriend? If that's the case, doesn't that mean I have absolutely no chance?

Ren Junshuang didn't want to belittle herself, but faced with a stunningly beautiful woman, she couldn't help but feel inferior!

Chen Zhou introduced, "Let me introduce you all. This gentleman next to me is another shareholder of our company, your other boss, my partner, the top science student in the senior year of Haitang High School, the unattainable beauty of Haitang High School, the white moonlight in the hearts of countless people..."

Long Jiajia quickly said, "Stop, stop, stop!"

"Chen Zhou, there's not enough room for so many people."

Chen Zhou laughed and said, "Okay, in short, her name is Xia Yu."

Xia Yu bowed slightly politely and greeted everyone, "Hello everyone, my name is Xia Yu, it's nice to meet you all."

Seeing this, Ren Junshuang and the others bowed and introduced themselves.

Their bows were more pronounced and their postures were lower.

After the two sides got to know each other.

Chen Zhou gave Xia Yu and the others a brief tour of the company.

The company wasn't very big, just two floors, so the tour ended quickly.

Then, Chen Zhou summoned Ren Junshuang and others to a meeting in the conference room on the second floor.

As a shareholder and the only real financial backer of the company, Xia Yu was naturally invited by Chen Zhou to attend the closed-door meeting.

Outside the conference room.

Xu Lele and Long Jiajia strolled around the villa again, then, having nothing better to do, found two extra workstations and started playing on the computer.

Inside the meeting room.

Chen Zhou, abandoning his usual playful demeanor, said with unusual seriousness, "So far, I am very satisfied with the development progress of 'Fruit Ninja.' I hope everyone will continue to maintain this momentum and keep up the good work!"

"Finally, I want to emphasize that in two weeks, the official version of our Fruit Ninja mobile game must be officially launched on both the App Store and Android app stores!"

"Is anyone absolutely certain about this?"

The four of them shouted firmly, "Yes!!"

The meeting is still ongoing.

At that moment, at the entrance of another commercial villa in Lakeside Park.

Diana and her partner both looked towards Fishboat Technology.

The partner said, "Anna, do you think that Chen Zhou is really some rich second-generation? After observing him for a while, I don't think so. He always takes a taxi when he comes here; he doesn't drive or have a driver."

"Nothing special."

Diana retorted, "What's so ordinary about him? I think that young man, Chen Zhou, has a very aristocratic air about him!"

The partner scoffed, "Aristocratic airs? Ha, ha."

Diana said, "No, what are you talking about? I saw it with my own eyes that Chen Zhou's underlings were all driving Porsche sports cars."

The partner said, "Yes, yes, but it only happened once, right? After that, we haven't seen any sports cars here again."

"If you ask me, maybe that sports car was rented by their company when it first opened to make a good impression. Renting a sports car for a day isn't expensive."

After hearing her sisters say this, Diana couldn't help but feel that it made a lot of sense.

Could it be that I've been overestimating Chen Zhou?

Is he really just an ordinary person?

Diana wavered slightly and said, "Sister Siqi, perhaps you are right."

"Liu Yuxi said in his 'Inscription on My Humble Abode' that even in a humble abode, he could still converse with learned scholars and have no uncultured people among his visitors."

"If Chen Zhou were really a rich second-generation heir with a lot of money and connections, then it would be impossible that not a single luxury car has appeared in front of his company for so long."

Diana calmly analyzed the situation.

Sun Siqi smiled and said, "That's right, Anna, you've finally figured it out. So don't pin our company's hopes on that Chen Zhou guy. Let's find another way out."

Diana sighed deeply. "Well... alright."

But no sooner had she finished speaking than a silver Rolls-Royce appeared on the inner road of the lakeside park, driving forward at a leisurely pace.

Diana and Sun Siqi were both drawn to the attention.

Sun Siqi exclaimed in surprise, "A little golden statue? No way, our little shabby place actually has a Rolls-Royce?"

Diana blinked, snapping out of her daze, and exclaimed, "That car looks like it's heading towards Fishboat Technology!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Siqi looked incredulous.

In the end, the two watched as the silver Rolls-Royce pulled up in front of Fishboat Technology.

The driver, wearing white gloves and a suit, got out of the car and opened the rear hatch.

A stunningly beautiful female CEO in a suit stepped out of the car.

Even a fleeting glance is enough to appreciate her beauty!

The female assistant next to him was holding an umbrella.

Then, the beautiful female CEO and her female assistant walked into the gates of Fishboat Technology.

Diana and Sun Siqi were both stunned by what they saw!

Sun Siqi stammered, "Was what we just said a bit... hasty?"

Diana said, "It's more than just a little! It's far too hasty!!"

Diana thought to herself, "That Chen Zhou's younger brother really has some powerful connections in the local martial arts world!"

He's usually so low-key, isn't he?

Inside Fish Boat Technology Company, on the first floor.

The sound of "slap slap slap" kept ringing out as two girls played "Audition Online".

At this moment, Gao Rong entered the hall and looked around.

Finally, her gaze fell on a large, conspicuous logo.

The logo prominently displays the four large characters "Fish Boat Game".

"Fish? Boat?"

"Oh."

Gao Rong chuckled meaningfully.

Long Jiajia won another round of "Audition Online," temporarily sparing the poor spacebar on her keyboard.

She picked up the bottled water on the table, unscrewed it, and was about to drink.

But then he inadvertently caught sight of two unfamiliar figures.

Long Jiajia nudged Xu Lele's arm. "Lele, look, who are those two people? Are they also from Chen Zhou's company?"

Xu Lele looked up in confusion, and the next second, her pupils shrank!

Xu Lele opened her mouth wide and took a deep breath.

Long Jiajia asked in confusion, "Lele, what's wrong?"

Xu Lele ignored her and quickly got up to greet her, suppressing her guilt as she said, "Aunt Rong, what brings you here?"

Long Jiajia was even more confused and blinked her eyes.

Aunt Rong? Who is that?

Gao Rong smiled slightly and said, "Lele, shouldn't I be asking you that?"

Xu Lele was extremely embarrassed and forced a smile.

In her heart, she thought: It's over! It's all over!

Chen Zhou, Xiao Yu'er, you two better pray for your own good fortune.

At this moment, the meeting in the conference room upstairs is coming to an end.

Before Chen Zhou could even summarize, Long Jiajia pushed open the door and entered.

Long Jiajia cried out anxiously, "Something terrible has happened, Chen Zhou!"

Everyone was stunned: ? ? ?

Chen Zhou calmly waved to Ren Junshuang and the others, signaling them to leave first.

Soon, Ren Junshuang and the others left the conference room.

The door was closed.

Chen Zhou then asked, "Jiajia, what's wrong? Tell me slowly."

Long Jiajia said, "Chen Zhou, Xia Yu's mother is here! You'd better hide!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Yu immediately stood up, her beautiful peach blossom eyes filled with panic.

For a moment, she didn't know what to do and was at a loss.

They had no choice but to turn their attention to Chen Zhou.

Chen Zhou was also quite surprised. Why did Xia Xiaomiao's mother suddenly show up?

However, Chen Zhou knew that this day would come eventually.

there is always a solution to a problem.

Chen Zhou calmly reassured him, "It's alright, I'm here. The sky won't fall down. Even if it does, I'm tall enough to hold it up."

Chen Zhou smiled with relief, which put Xia Yu at ease. She nodded obediently, "Mm."

Then, Chen Zhou added, "Jiajia, Xia Yu and I haven't done anything wrong, we haven't even done anything wrong. We've done nothing wrong, so what's there to hide?"

"Where is Auntie? Take me to see her now."

Long Jiajia exclaimed in surprise, "Chen Zhou, are you crazy?"

Chen Zhou said confidently, "Lead the way."

Long Jiajia: …………

After her initial surprise, Long Jiajia gave Chen Zhou a thumbs up, expressing her sincere admiration.

He's a real man!

Not long after, on the second floor, in Chen Zhou's office.

The door was closed, and the blinds were shut.

Gao Rong sat in her office chair, legs crossed, arms resting on the armrests, exuding an air of superiority as she looked down at Chen Zhou and Xia Yu.

Xia Yu felt guilty and dared not look at her mother, keeping her head down and remaining silent.

Chen Zhou, however, displayed an upright and honest demeanor, holding his head high and looking straight ahead.

Chen Zhou thought to himself, "A true man is born between heaven and earth; how can he live a life of melancholy and subservience to others?"

Uh... wrong channel!

A true man should walk through the world with an open and honest heart, without fear or trepidation!

Besides, Xia Xiaomiao and I are completely innocent!

Gao Rong said, "The couple's scarves are nice."

Chen Zhou froze instantly: …………
