Huayu: As a child star, I just want to be famous

Chapter 45 Enrollment
When school started in September, Chen's mother completed the admission procedures for Chen Linfeng and asked for leave.

The head teacher was very dissatisfied with him for missing classes for several months at the beginning of the school year. Chen Linfeng didn't dare to look directly at the teacher's angry face, and timidly returned to the classroom after receiving the books.

The classmates in the class were very interested in this "star" student who had not attended class for several months.

Not only was it well-known that he hadn't been to school for a few months, Chen Linfeng himself was also famous enough.

This year's "The Sequel to Journey to the West" may not make people know his name, but at least they can tell it's him at a glance.

The fact that his novels have been selling well for two consecutive years has also attracted much attention. Ordinary people who don’t read much may not know much about it, but in this era, the amount of reading by students in schools is astonishing.

Even if they have not read his two novels, such as "Youth Digest" and "Sprout", many classmates are long-term subscribers.

Chen Linfeng found his seat, packed up his books, and used book stands to clip his textbooks and various notebooks vertically.

Because he hadn't been to class for a long time, his seat was in the back row by the window.

The guy sitting next to him, who was wearing glasses, watched Chen Linfeng the whole time. When he was done packing, he came over to greet him, "Chen Linfeng, can I call you that? I'm Li Zeliang, and they all call me Glasses."

Chen Linfeng had a friendly exchange with him for a while and learned about his current situation.

He was admitted with the highest score in the self-recruitment examination, but he didn't come to class for several months. The top students in the grade were waiting for him to come back to test his strength.

"Don't take it lightly. I read in the reports that you have always been number one in your grade, but many people in our school used to be number one in their grade."

"I definitely won't look down on others, including you, Li Zeliang. You were ranked 15th in the grade and 3rd in the class in the last monthly exam. I saw your name on the honor roll downstairs."

"So you already know everything." Li Zeliang pushed up the frame of his glasses, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, "You haven't been to class for several months, so don't let your grades plummet."

He paused, "We are all waiting to see what level the genius mentioned in the news every day is."

It’s a problem. Since I came to this high school, the competition has become much more intense.

Zheng No. 1 High School is one of the best high schools in the entire Zhongyuan Province, and it gathers many elite students in the province.

It would be impossible for him to continue to stay ahead if he only relied on his memory and some meager foundation from his previous life.

You have to spend more time on studying in order to get to the top of your age group.

If there is no outstanding performance as a guarantee, it is unknown whether the school will approve his leave later.

Chen Linfeng quickly got back into his study state. He first found the test paper from the previous monthly exam and tried to do it again by himself.

Since I had prepared in advance in junior high school and had also learned it in my previous life, I had no problem with most of the questions.

After finishing, he calculated the scores and found that it was just as he expected, with his score only ranking in the top 50.

In the next few days, he attended the lectures while catching up on the knowledge points he had missed in the past, and temporarily stopped everything other than his students.

Chen's father bought a house near the school. Chen Linfeng did not live on campus, but went to school as a day student. Chen's mother moved in and cooked for him in the morning and evening.

Sister Mei usually accompanies Chen's mother, and the two have a good relationship now.

In the monthly exam half a month later, he ranked third.

Chen Linfeng looked at the score column with a sense of loss. This was the first time in his life that he was surpassed by someone.

Glasses gritted his teeth behind him. His performance improved slightly this time and he entered the top ten, ranking ninth. However, he could only look at the taillights of Chen Linfeng's car from a distance.

Chen Linfeng was not discouraged. After all, he had only learned high school knowledge for half a month, not counting the time spent in his previous life, so there was still room for improvement.

Sure enough, in the following monthly exams and the final exams at the end of the semester, Chen Linfeng ranked first steadily and was not surpassed again.

Even though the gap between him and the two behind him was not much, he was sure that unless something unexpected happened, he would not fall.

After Chen Linfeng regained the top spot, he resumed his lifestyle. He would get up early in the morning and go to the school playground to practice his voice.

However, the time for morning self-study in high school is much earlier than that in junior high school, so Chen Linfeng moved the martial arts practice to after returning home from evening self-study.

He has basically stopped practicing musical instruments. On the one hand, he has already mastered some common instruments and does not have such an urgent need for new ones.

Besides, he is already very familiar with composing music, so it won’t take too much time and it will be enough for him to compose it during his free time on weekends.

During this period, three talk shows recorded by Chen Linfeng were broadcast one after another. The ratings of all three shows were good, and he now has a lot of supporters.

In the show, Chen Linfeng remains the same as always, giving people the image of a mature and intelligent young man, and his wit and sharpness are fully displayed in his conversations.

Most of his comments were fine and only further enhanced the audience's perception of him.

All three parties asked questions, including the one mentioned in the program, about the incident that caused a stir due to his novel.

His answer was basically the same, without exaggerating too much hostility, as that would likely cause widespread hatred.

There are too many people like Yuanyuan in this era, especially among literati and intellectuals. If you talk about it too much, people might think you are alluding to them.

Chen Linfeng's position is not yet stable enough, mainly because he has risen to prominence in too short a time, so it is not advisable for him to make too many enemies now.

As he expected, his remarks on this part did not attract much attention.

Instead, it was the past events between him and Fang Long that he mentioned on the show "Kang Kang Threesome" that attracted the attention of many entertainment reporters.

Some curious people actually went to visit Fang Long.

"Do you remember the name Chen Linfeng? I heard that he had met you before and said that he wanted to become a big star like you in the future. Is that true?"

Van Loong’s response to this is also very interesting.

"I still have a deep impression of him. There were very few kids who told me that they wanted to surpass me and let everyone know their name. I was shocked at that time." He made a shocked expression at the same time.

In fact, Fang Long had almost forgotten the specific content of the conversation and was only recalling the situation based on his memory.

Then the news picked up this new narrative.

"Chen Linfeng made a bold statement that he wanted to surpass Fang Long."

"Chen Linfeng has always been determined to surpass Fang Long since he was young."

You can choose either of the two statements, depending on whether the audience likes or dislikes him.

In short, the goal of "surpassing Fang Long" was forced upon him.

Some reporters also asked other celebrities about this question, including those from Hong Kong, Taiwan and mainland China.

Chen Linfeng is no longer an unknown person, and most of the stars who were asked about him did not ridicule him. They just said that it is a good thing for young people to have lofty ambitions, but there is still a long way to go.

Since Chen Linfeng is mainly well-known in the mainland, a small number of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars are not very clear about who he is.

When asked about it, he was very rude, saying that he was "ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth" and "coming from a small place and having no idea of ​​the outside world", etc., and was very disdainful.

This topic has become a big news.

These gifted kids in the school didn't pay much attention to celebrity gossip. Chen Linfeng's coming to school didn't attract much attention, so they were proud of themselves.

This time, a classmate finally couldn't help but ask him if he really said that he wanted to surpass Fang Long.

It can be seen that Fang Long is indeed the top superstar of this era, and even these good students can't help but gossip about him.
