Chapter 4: School

After taking a break for over a month, Zhu Mingze finally went back to school. It was no problem for him to miss so many classes because the teachers were already used to it. He was like a little ancestor, coming and going as he pleased.

When Zhu Mingze stepped into the classroom, the chattering seized and countless eyes followed him as he made his way to his seat. He ignored all the curious eyes and opened his book.

Zhu Mingze was previously in class 1 but he stopped paying attention to his studies and his grades dropped so he had to be moved to class 3. This class was filled with rich kids who used the back door to get in and they didn't care much for studying.

It was time for morning self study but none of the students were studying so Zhu Mingze looked particular conspicuous as he was the only one with a book.

The classmates looked at each other but no one dared to approach him. Who made him such a devils incarnate with a massive temper. And even though they were all second generation heirs, the Zhu family still held a lot more weight in city A than most of them so they couldn't afford to offend him.

It was that way until the first class started. Zhu Mingze dropped his book when the teacher came in to the class.

The teachers were used to this group of rich kids not paying attention now there was one who was willing to listen so it was as if they were injected with chicken blood.

It was like that for the rest of the day and the principal was informed. After all Zhu Mingze used to be quite a good student and if he was willing to go back it would be good for everyone.

The principal told the teachers to pay more attention and if he continued to pay attention, they could move him back to class 1. The boy was smart , that was a well known fact. If he was able to work hard, he could get into the top five in the entrance exams.

Zhu Mingze didn't know anything about all this and even if he did, he wouldn't want to move back to class 1 either.

After school he went back to his apartment.

It was very close to the school and was really suitable for him.

After changing into comfortable house clothes, he took his laptop and started to motitor a few stocks he'd bought earlier.

From the previous two hundred yuan, his income had grown to five million. But this wasn't a drop in the bucket if he wanted to make a splash.

Besides, the gaokao exams were in a month. And the mock test was in about a week.

He would sign with a company after the exams.

Picking up the phone he decided to contact Wang Muchen. They had kept constant contact thses days and could be said to be very familiar with each other.

[ Brother Chen]

[Mingming, are you back from school?]

[Yes , I got back not long ago]

[Well. ]

[Are you at home?]

[No. I'm still at the company. I'm currently working on a project]

[Oh. What project is that?]

[It's the acquisition of the land in the east end of the city. Alot of people are vying for it ]

The land in the east end? I remember hearing about it in my last life. It looked like a hot cake and many companies were trying to get it but in the end the Wang family got the biggest piece. A month into the development of the land and it was discovered that they were chemicals in the land and it wasn't suitable for development. This piece of land became a hot potato and everyone was trying to get rid of it. The Wang family who got the biggest piece was of course the one who was hit hardest. Alot of money had been put into the development and even though their capital chain wasn't broken, it was still a huge loss. I remember thinking it was quite a shame back then. I didn't realize it was his Wang.

From what I know, he's not very welcome in the Wang family. Wouldn't this just make his situation more precarious?

I was deep in thought when my phone beeped

[ Are you still there?]

I had already made my decision. We missed each other in my last life do now that I know what is going to happen how can I bear to watch him face such a loss?

[En. I'm here. That land..... It would be best if you don't participate in the bidding. If possible, you should sell any you've bought already]

[ What's wrong? Do you know something?]

How do I say this? This is something that even the top government officials aren't aware of yet.

[Just trust me. That land is a hot potato. You don't want it. In about a month, problems will be discovered]

I can't help it if he doesn't believe me. This would actually be very profitable if not for the accident in the middle.

[Well, I believe you]

I couldn't help but sigh in relief. I felt really touched.

Two days later, the circle exploded. News went around the circle that Wang Muchen was selling of pieces of the land the Wang family had tried so hard to get. Everyone thought he was crazy. He probably received a lot of criticism from the Wang family but he didn't say anything. I felt really bad but I knew that he would slap them back in the face .

There was talk but no one said to his face and the days went by like that.

On the day of the mock gaokao, everyone was particularly nervous. I was a bit anxious but I had studied hard so I gathered my courage and took the exam. After the exam, Wang Muchen picked me up at the gate and we went to a restaurant.We met an acquaintance of his. A business man he'd previously done business with. He was the owner of a very popular hotel chain. The mad had smiled brightly and asked if he needed a room for later. Wang Muchen had just smiled politely and emphasized that we were just good friends. The man left and the atmosphere was a bit awkward after that. I couldn't be bothered to even talk to him anymore and just focused on my food. After eating, he took me back home.
