Chapter 24: Chapter 24. It's hard to say who will humiliate whom by then.
"Three thousand yuan is nothing. Last year, a player sold a piece of equipment for more than two hundred thousand yuan. That's enough for a luxury house directly!"
"Hiss... Are things in games so valuable?" Zhou Guangming felt that his worldview had collapsed.
"They are valuable indeed. But this is like buying lottery tickets. I've been playing since 2001 and haven't made any money yet. So, Brother Zhou, you'd better give up the idea of making money in games as soon as possible!"
"Oh ha ha, I was just asking casually. I'm almost forty years old. How could I play games!" Zhou Guangming said with a smile.
"By the way, Brother Zhou, where are you working now? Are there still vacancies? I guess I'll be laid off soon!"
"Cough cough... We'll talk about this later. I still have something to do. I'll hang up now!"
Zhou Guangming quickly hung up the phone.
Before having a stable job, he didn't want his wife to know that he had been laid off.
He Ying stared at Zhou Guangming suspiciously and asked, "What's the matter to talk about later? Have you found a mistress outside?" Zhou Guangming didn't erupt like He Ying just now. Instead, he said with a smile, "It seems that I am still very capable in your eyes. I can even find a mistress!" He Ying sneered. "You have no ability at all. You are not as capable as our son. Can you earn these twenty thousand yuan?" Zhou Guangming glanced at the twenty thousand yuan on the table and said in a deep voice, "Like father, like son. If the son is powerful, it just proves that his father is powerful." "Your face is thicker than the city wall..." He Ying scolded with a smile. At lunchtime, He Ying woke Zhou Chen up for a meal. At the dining table, Zhou Guangming received a call from Zhou Guanghua.
Zhou Guanghua decided to hold a college entrance banquet for his daughter in the county at the end of the month.
"Has Qingqing's college entrance examination results come out?"
"The college entrance examination just ended yesterday. The results shouldn't come out so soon, right?"
Zhou Guangming was full of doubts and surprises.
"Her uncle works in the education bureau. It's not difficult to check the results!"
Zhou Guanghua's tone revealed arrogance.
Zhou Guangming asked with a smile, "How many points did that girl get?"
"575 points. She is only five points short of being admitted to Jiangzhou University!"
Zhou Guanghua sighed.
On the surface, it seems regretful. In fact, this score is already enough to stimulate Zhou Guangming.
575 points are enough to meet the scores required by major second-tier universities. She can even enter some first-tier universities with lower requirements.
Zhou Guangming sighed and said, "It's a pity. Just five points short!"
Although he doesn't have a good relationship with Zhou Guanghua, after all, Zhou Qingqing is his own niece.
Just five points short of getting into a first-tier university. He really feels regretful.
Zhou Guanghua felt that Zhou Guangming was being sarcastic to him. Then he said, "There will be many summer workers coming to my construction site this year. Do you want Xiaochen to come and exercise?" Zhou Guangming's face suddenly darkened. "No need. My son's score will not be lower than your daughter's!"
"Hehe..." Zhou Guanghua gave a faint smile a few times. "Confidence is a good thing, but you know better than me what kind of grades Zhou Chen has. Listen to your elder brother's advice. If he doesn't pass the exam, don't repeat it. Learning depends on talent. Without talent, even if he repeats for three years, it will be of no avail. It's better to enter society and make money early."
"It's none of your business. Hang up!" Zhou Guangming was a little angry and was about to hang up the phone. Just now he was still thinking about asking Zhou Guanghua to use his connections to check his son's score. But after hearing these words from Zhou Guanghua, he didn't want to ask him for help anymore.
"Wait a minute..."
"Is there something else?"
"For the college entrance banquet at the end of the month, I plan to invite those old people in the village. Help me take care of it then!"
"No time. I'm still at work!" Zhou Guangming said in an indifferent tone.
Let oneself take care of it?
Isn't that clearly asking those old people in the village to gossip about oneself?
Zhou Guanghua still wanted to say something, but then he heard Zhou Chen's voice coming from the other end of the phone: "Uncle, my dad will be taking care of my college entrance banquet at the end of the month. He really can't spare the time!"
Without giving Zhou Guanghua a chance to reply, Zhou Chen directly pressed to hang up.
Zhou Guangming took a sip of white wine and forcefully put the glass on the table. "That son of a bitch is really not a human being. Setting the location of Zhou Qingqing's college entrance banquet in the county and inviting those old people in the village is clearly an attempt to humiliate us!"
He Ying's face was also very ugly. Those old people in the village were gossipy. After eating at Zhou Guangming's banquet, they would definitely point fingers at their family. Unless Zhou Chen's score could surpass Zhou Qingqing's and he was admitted to a first-tier university. Zhou Chen was eating roast duck and said with a smile, "It's hard to say who will humiliate whom by then!" Seeing his son being so confident, Zhou Guangming poured himself another glass. "That's right. What if my son is admitted to Jiangzhou University?" Although he said so, he was very unsure in his heart. Just as Zhou Guanghua said, as Zhou Chen's father, he knew his son's grades over the years better than anyone else. After eating and drinking enough, Zhou Chen went back to his room to catch up on sleep. Lying on the bed, he logged in to mobile QQ. Tang Wan still hadn't accepted his friend request. Zhou Chen sighed helplessly and took out the pink letter under his pillow and read it again.
At the same time.
In a luxurious villa.
Tang Wan was sitting in front of the desk in her pajamas. There was a liquid crystal computer on the desk.
Jingle!
The phone on the desk rang. She picked up the phone and answered.
"Brother..."
"Your score has been checked. It's 620 points!"
There was not the slightest excitement in Tang Jie's voice. In fact, he was even a little angry. With Tang Wan's academic performance, she could at least score above 680. 620 points couldn't even get her into a 985 university.
Tang Wan blinked her beautiful eyes and said cheerfully, "It's not bad. I can get into Jiangzhou University!"
Tang Jie almost lost his temper. He questioned sternly, "Tell me, did you have a puppy love? Did you stay in Jiangzhou for a certain boy?"
Tang Wan said in a aggrieved voice, "Brother, what are you talking about? Today's exam questions are very difficult. It's already very good to be able to get into Jiangzhou University!"
"Alas... Forget it. Do as you please. After all, I only have you as my sister!" Tang Jie said with a helpless bitter smile.
"The most handsome brother, do me another favor!" Tang Wan coquettishly said.
"What favor?"
"Help me check Zhou Chen's score from Jiang No.1 Middle School!" Tang Wan was a little guilty and her voice was very low. With her brother's intelligence, it's easy to guess something.
Tang Jie was silent for a few seconds and said coldly, "Zhou Chen is the brave young man from last time. Sure enough, you are interested in him!"
At that time when Zhou Chen was beaten, he noticed that Tang Wan was very nervous. That kind of nervousness was not what should exist between classmates. Instead, it was like... lovers?
"Brother, don't talk nonsense. Classmate Zhou Chen is the one I tutored. I just want to see if he has made progress!" Tang Wan found an excuse to perfunctory.
"Check it later. It's estimated that the test papers haven't been graded yet. We have no connections in the education bureau. I spent a lot of effort to find someone to grade your test paper first!"
"All right!" Tang Wan pouted, with some disappointment in her eyes.
"In three days. Give me three days. I'll tell you that kid's score in three days!" Tang Jie is a brother who spoils his sister. He can't bear to see his sister being wronged the most.
Hearing her brother's promise, Tang Wan was immediately overjoyed. "Thank you, brother... You are the best!"
Time passed quickly.
Soon more than twenty days passed.
It was also the day to go to school to check the scores.
At this time, the network was not developed, so all examinees had to go to school to check their scores.
As the saying goes, enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road. The two met Tian Xuemeng and Liu Siying at the school gate.
"Zhou Chen, are you also here to check your score?"
Liu Siying was wearing short sleeves and short shorts. Whoever saw her snow-white long legs would be dazzled.
"Yes!"
Zhou Chen responded calmly.
Liu Siying asked with a light smile, "If you don't pass the exam, will you repeat it?"
"There is no if!"
Zhou Chen said four words faintly, and then strode into the campus.
Tian Xuemeng sneered and said loudly from behind, "I hope you won't walk out of school crying!"
Zhou Chen didn't pay any attention to him at all.
On the contrary, Chen Xiaolong turned around and said, "It must be you who will cry later!"
Tian Xuemeng immediately erupted. "Chen Xiaolong, I bet you can't even get into a third-tier university!"
Seeing that Chen Xiaolong ignored her, she stamped her feet angrily: "Siying, look at them..." Liu Siying shook her head and smiled: "How can people like them get into college? They are destined to be worms in society in the future!" Tian Xuemeng suddenly asked: "Siying, I think you shouldn't neglect Zhou Chen so much. If he doesn't get into college, he will definitely go to work. Then you won't be short of money to go to college!"
