Rebirth begins with picking up a cold and aloof school beauty

Chapter 62 We've been set up!

Chen Zhou frowned slightly; he had already anticipated what the news would be.

But we just don't know if it's good news or bad news.

However, it shouldn't be too bad!

Chen Zhou answered the phone, and Lu Yan's voice came through quickly.

"Brother Chen Zhou, I have some good news for you."

It was clear from her voice that Lu Yan was in a good mood.

Chen Zhou smiled to himself, thinking, "This time it's a sure thing!"

Upon hearing this voice, Luo Fei was dumbfounded!

No, isn't that my older cousin's voice? How did Sister Yan meet Chen Zhou?

Could it be that Xiaoyuer introduced them?

Uh... wasn't Chen Zhou going to Beidu to participate in the competition?

Wasn't Xiaoyuer going to participate in the Tsinghua-Peking University Winter Study Camp?

Why did the event turn into a family visit after they arrived?

Luo Fei couldn't process what was happening.

Chen Zhou smiled and said, "Sister Yan, let me guess, is it good news from your husband's side?"

"Bingo!" Lu Yan exclaimed happily, "You guessed right!"

"Cai Shiyu just told me that their game operations director has approved an exception just for you, and your Fruit Ninja mobile game can be featured on the homepage!"

"And it starts this Friday at 8 a.m.!"

"The App Store homepage recommendations will be updated accordingly."

"Your game can stay up there for a week; I bet it'll be a huge hit!"

"I'm right here. Congratulations in advance, brother-in-law!"

Chen Zhou laughed heartily, "OK, thank you, Sister Yan!"

Chen Zhou was in a great mood after hanging up the phone.

I did it! I, the Taoist priest, succeeded!

Uh... no, I mean, I, young master, succeeded!

Before long, I will be able to pay off all of my family's debts!

I can achieve financial freedom before I even go to college!

Cool!!

Chen Zhou was extremely excited!

The other five people who had just listened to the entire call all had their pupils shrink sharply.

The way they looked at Chen Zhou was as if they had seen a ghost!

Especially the four of them, apart from Luo Fei, had already imagined the whole thing in their minds.

"Just what kind of background does our boss have? How could Apple make an exception for him?"

"Is it the power of money?"

"Or is he... some kind of super-rich second-generation heir?"

"Oh my god! I've accidentally wandered into the boss's house! If I work for him from now on, my future will definitely be bright!"

After getting Fruit Ninja featured on the App Store homepage.

After lunch, Chen Zhou gave Luo Fei and Ren Junshuang some instructions.

Let them keep up the good work!

At the same time, Chen Zhou also asked Luo Fei to connect with Lu Yan and transfer the 200,000 yuan seed round startup funding to Lu Yan.

This caused everyone to lose their composure.

Luo Fei said, "Brother Zhou, whatever decision you make, I will definitely support you!"

"But we only have 20 left in our company account. If you give all the money to Sister Yan, our company will not be able to maintain its basic operations."

As the finance manager, Yu Xiu quickly reminded him, "President Chen, didn't you say before that no matter how difficult things get for the company, we should at least keep three months' worth of operating funds on hand?"

"The company is out of money right now, and the revenue from Fruit Ninja mobile game in both iOS and Android markets will not be settled and paid out until next month."

"In that case, we'll have zero funds in our account this month, and we won't even be able to pay the utility bills!"

Chen Zhou smiled upon hearing this, "How could I not understand these principles?"

"Don't worry, I'll lend the company 100 million yuan temporarily. Remember to pay it back next month when the accounts are settled."

"A million???" Luo Fei exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Zhou, where did you get a million?"

He thought to himself that he was a second-generation rich kid and one of the heirs of Lanhai Real Estate.

He doesn't even have 100 yuan, let alone 10 million!

Yu Xiu and the others were also taken aback for a moment, then they thought to themselves, "No wonder he's the boss. We were just worried about his company's finances! We were really overthinking it!"

"Who is Mr. Chen? He's a super-rich second-generation heir who got Apple to make an exception and feature him on the homepage!"

"I swear to follow the boss to the death!"

Upon hearing Luo Fei's question, Chen Zhou smiled and said, "Of course, it was given to me by my Xia Xiaomiao."

"Huh? Little Fish?" Luo Fei exclaimed in surprise. "No, where did she get a million?"

"Didn't she just give you over 50 yuan? Isn't that her entire fortune?"

"How come another million has suddenly appeared?"

Huh? Only 100 million? That's nothing!

My future in-laws gave me a whopping 600 million!

Chen Zhou said, "It was given to me by my mother-in-law."

Luo Fei: "…………"

Now Luo Fei understood everything!

So, it turns out my aunt is really rich and powerful!

Brother Zhou is so lucky!

The four founding employees who were just imagining that Chen Zhou was some kind of super-rich second-generation heir have now suddenly realized!

It turns out Chen Zhou wasn't some super-rich second-generation heir; he was... a super-son-in-law?!

Everything makes sense now!

After all, they had met the boss's wife before, and even her mother, whose car was a Rolls-Royce!

The boss is so lucky!

Almost everyone present felt a pang of envy in their hearts.

Later that afternoon, Chen Zhou left Yuzhou Technology and went to Haitang Middle School.

He originally didn't want to go back this afternoon.

But the school had already prepared a grand ceremony to welcome him home in triumph.

A taxi stopped at the school gate.

Chen Zhou sat in the car and looked at the school's preparations. A huge banner was hanging directly above the school gate.

The students and teachers lined up in two rows, some wearing ceremonial sashes and others holding flowers.

Some students even got hold of drums from somewhere and started banging them around.

This was practically a welcoming gesture for Chen Zhou!

The taxi driver was stunned. "Holy crap! What happened at Haitang Middle School?"

Chen Zhou pointed to the banner and said, "Look at that."

The taxi driver glanced at it and saw that it read: "Warmest congratulations to Chen Zhou, a student from the Class of 2009 of our school, for winning first place with a perfect score and a gold medal in the National Finals of the NOI Informatics Competition!"

The taxi driver suddenly realized, "So, this Chen Zhou has a very bright future ahead of him!"

"Excuse me, do you know him?"

Chen Zhou said, "I know him. He's quite handsome. Every morning when I wake up, I kowtow to him eight hundred times. Not for any other reason than I'm just totally smitten by his good looks!"

"Hiss... Is he that handsome? How does he compare to you?" the master asked curiously.

Chen Zhou smiled. "Exactly the same, right?"

Driver: "?"

After paying, Chen Zhou opened the car door and got out. Immediately, a stunningly beautiful girl jogged over from the school gate.

"Chen Zhou~" Xia Yu called out happily, and then she presented Chen Zhou with a bouquet of flowers.

At the same time, Xia Yu openly hugged Chen Zhou in front of all the teachers and students of Tangzhong.

The couple embraced, ostensibly to offer their congratulations.

The driver, who had learned Chen Zhou's true identity, witnessed this scene and had mixed feelings.

"Shameless!"

"I've never seen such a narcissistic man!"

After saying a few words and glancing at the stunningly beautiful girl holding Chen Zhou, the driver lost his composure, stepped on the gas, and sped away.

School gate.

Soon, Chen Zhou's friends and classmates, including Long Jiajia, Xu Lele, Liang Wenbo, Xiang Hang, and Liu Xing, as well as school leaders and teachers such as Gao Qin, Lu Shuren, and the principal, all came forward to congratulate Chen Zhou.

Li Guoling proudly announced to his colleagues, "Chen Zhou is from our Senior Three (Class Ten)!"

"My student!"

The teachers: "…………"

Standing in front of Chen Zhou, Long Jiajia excitedly praised, "Chen Zhou, I knew it! My good buddy would definitely outshine everyone else and win the championship!"

Xu Lele quickly followed up with a joke: "So you're the most beautiful courtesan in Tangzhong!"

"Hahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter.

Chen Zhou thought to himself, "You didn't say that before I went to Beidu to compete."

You guys said that if I really won first place in the country, you would fry an egg in my palm and give it to me.

However, Chen Zhou has a broad perspective and doesn't care about such things at all.

Gao Qin smiled and said, "In any case, Chen Zhou, in the centennial celebration of our Haitang Middle School, you are the first contestant to participate in the national finals of the competition, and also the first student to win a gold medal in the Informatics Olympiad."

Lu Shuren chimed in, "In short, Chen Zhou, you have not only brought glory and honor to the school, but you have also made a name for yourself in the school's history!"

Principal Fan said, "Chen Zhou, having you is a blessing for our school!"

"There will be a special speech prepared for you later. As the pride of our school, you can share your experiences with your classmates and younger students."

"We must ignite their passion for learning! We must inspire them to learn from you!"

Chen Zhou smiled awkwardly, thinking to himself, "Isn't this annoying?"

As for giving speeches, only our close friends and acquaintances are willing to listen.

Why not give all students an extra half-day off?

Chen Zhou pondered, should he just decline? Or perhaps he should just say a few words and leave it at that?

At this moment, Principal Fan added, "By the way, Chen Zhou, didn't you get first place nationwide?"

"And she even got a guaranteed admission to Peking University!"

"Our school, in conjunction with the district education bureau and some entrepreneurs, has decided to award you a cash prize of 30 yuan!"

"This money isn't for nothing, okay? You'll have to share your study secrets and tips with your classmates later, without holding back, alright?"

"Uh..." Chen Zhou's expression immediately changed.

A cash reward of 30? That's it? Which student wouldn't be able to withstand such a test?

Chen Zhou smiled broadly, "Of course, no problem!"

"Principal, it's our duty as students!"

Chen Zhou's childhood friend Liang Wenbo's lips twitched. "Liu Xing, you see? Chen Zhou is still the same Chen Zhou. The principal is really..." Liang Wenbo clicked his tongue.

Liu Xing said, "You have a really good eye for people!"

after that.

Chen Zhou was then ushered up to the podium in front of the playground by a crowd of admirers, where he began to speak eloquently and with great enthusiasm.

He tried to make his speech more entertaining by using a talk show style.

but!

Below the stage, the students braved the cold wind, each displaying a speechless and impatient expression.

Besides Xia Yu and Chen Zhou's friends and classmates.

Xia Yu whispered happily to her best friend Xu Lele, and every time she looked at Chen Zhou, she had a lovestruck expression.

Xu Lele used to think that Chen Zhou and Xiao Yu'er were quite a good match.

But in the end, it was still a little short of Xia Yu's level.

After all, in terms of family background and academic achievements, Xia Yu is far ahead of Chen Zhou, making her the kind of rich girl who is practically throwing herself at him.

Xu Lele naturally had some issues with Chen Zhou.

But now, she feels that Chen Zhou and Xia Yu are a perfect match!

A match made in heaven!

Xu Lele thus became a fan of their CP (couple pairing).

"Little Fish, I know your boyfriend is great in every way, even his speeches are so humorous and witty, full of laughs, but I'm still quite worried about you."

Xia Yu's smiling face instantly froze. "Worried about me? What do you mean?"

Xia Yu was curious.

Xu Lele said, "Chen Zhou is now surrounded by a halo. He's tall and handsome, and he was admitted to Beidu University ahead of schedule. He also just received a cash reward of 30 yuan."

"Think about it, Chen Zhou is so dazzling, won't he attract other girls' attention?"

"Watch out, someone might steal your boyfriend!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Yu was indeed quite worried. She frowned, bit her red lips, and lowered her head.

But quickly, she shook her head. "No way."

"Even if other girls really like Chen Zhou, no matter what they do, Chen Zhou will not like them."

"I believe Chen Zhou; he only loves me."

Xia Xiaomiao's tone was soft and gentle, but every word she spoke was full of certainty.

Xu Lele made an "uh" sound, "I didn't say it wasn't."

"I'm just worried that the other girls are being too aggressive."

Xia Yu thought for a moment, shook her head, and smiled gently, "Well... anyway, I'm not worried."

Xia Xiaomiao thought, "My Chen Zhou will definitely like me just as much as I like him."

Then, Xia Yu looked at the stage again, at her boyfriend, and started to secretly swoon over him again.

"My Chen Zhou, he's so handsome."

"A handsome young man."

Hehe~

In Xia Yu's eyes and heart, there was only Chen Zhou.

Xu Lele, standing beside her, pouted, "Love-obsessed!"

However, despite saying that, after spending time together, Xu Lele knew that Chen Zhou was neither a playboy nor a heartless man.

However, she was indeed worried that some vixen might try to steal Xiaoyuer's girlfriend.

For example, Yang Qian!

Xu Lele didn't know how much Chen Zhou disliked Yang Qian. She only knew that Yang Qian and Chen Zhou used to be quite close, but later, for some reason, they didn't have much contact anymore.

But at this moment, Xu Lele noticed that Yang Qian, the vixen from the next class, was looking at Chen Zhou with a strange gaze.

As Xia Yu's best friend and love strategist, Xu Lele remained highly vigilant towards Yang Qian.

The students from the neighboring Senior Three (10) class are in the front row of the line.

Yang Qian stared intently at Chen Zhou on the stage, then said to Peng Yuting behind her, "Yuting, you said last time that Chen Zhou said that things were over between him and me."

Does this mean that he and I can start from scratch and get to know each other all over again?

Peng Yuting looked at her suspiciously, "What do you mean? Yang Qian, you don't still want to be friends with Chen Zhou, do you?"

Yang Qian frowned. "Is that not allowed? He used to help me with my homework all the time, and he even gave me a birthday present."

"This means that he has some feelings for me, more or less."

Peng Yuting pursed her lips and said bluntly, "They're just taking pity on you."

Yang Qian immediately retorted, "Pitiful? How am I pitiful? It's obvious he likes me!"

Yang Qian was overcome by vanity.

Peng Yuting's pupils dilated for a second as she saw Teacher Gao's figure appear behind Yang Qian.

In the past, Peng Yuting would have immediately stopped Yang Qian from continuing.

But now, Peng Yuting and Yang Qian have almost broken ties and become enemies.

They only maintained the facade of being best friends.

Peng Yuting disliked Yang Qian's current behavior from the bottom of her heart.

Therefore, she decided to make Yang Qian completely give up her feelings for Chen Zhou!

Do you think you can fool Chen Zhou? You're like a toad trying to eat a swan!

Peng Yuting made an "uh" sound and asked, "Okay, okay, even if we take a step back and say that Chen Zhou once had just a tiny bit of affection for you, do you like him? Really like him?"

"Isn't it because Chen Zhou is now rich and has been admitted to Peking University without taking the entrance exam, with a bright future ahead of him?"

Yang Qian stated firmly, "Of course I like Chen Zhou! It's not because he's rich or has a promising future!"

Peng Yuting chuckled, "I don't believe you for a second!"

She rolled her eyes.

At this moment, Xu Lele pointed at the reinforcements she had brought and said, "Teacher Gao, you heard everything, didn't you?"

"She, Yang Qian, likes Chen Zhou!"

"She seems to be interested in dating!"

"She admitted it herself, I'm not making up rumors or slandering her."

Xu Lele looked smug.

Although it's wrong to do this, I'll be the bad guy to protect the Fish Boat couple!

Suddenly, Gao Qin appeared behind Yang Qian, exhaling a puff of hot air from her nostrils.

His expression was cold and indifferent!

Hearing and seeing these scenes, Yang Qian was completely terrified!
