Chapter 138 Ordinary Friends
In late June, Wuhan was sweltering with heat.
Today is the day the college entrance exam results are released.
With thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge, this moment is the time to announce the results.
Chen Jun and Zhang Guifang had been waiting in front of the computer for a long time to check their scores, while Chen Zhi had been out on a date for a long time.
He was being dragged by Lin Wanwan along the pedestrian street in the city center.
"Zhizhi, I want to eat that!"
Lin Wanwan pointed to the ice cream truck in front of her.
The two, who had just established a relationship, were deeply in love at this time.
"Eat, eat, eat! You just finished takoyaki and now you're eating ice cream? Are you trying to fatten yourself up like a pig so you can be sold into a pen?"
Despite his verbal protests, Chen Zhi's body language betrayed him as he walked toward the ice cream truck.
"Hmph, I'm naturally beautiful, I can eat anything and never gain weight!" Lin Wanwan proudly raised her chin. At this moment, she was wearing a light yellow sundress, revealing her collarbone and shoulders. She looked youthful and beautiful, attracting a lot of attention.
Just as Chen Zhigang finished paying and turned around with two ice cream cones in his hand, his phone in his pocket started vibrating wildly.
When I took it out and looked at it, I saw the note: "[Mom]".
"Chen Zhi! Where have you been, you little brat?!"
"You disappeared the moment I opened my eyes this morning! Don't you know what day it is today? The college entrance exam results are out! Your dad and I have been sitting in front of the computer for ages, and what are you doing, just vanishing?"
Chen Zhi slowly licked his ice cream and mumbled, "Mom, calm down. It's just a score, why are you making such a fuss? It's not like it's going to run away."
"It's just issuing scores? Do you even listen to human language?" Zhang Guifang was furious. "You get your ass back here and check the scores right now!"
"It's true what they say, the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is," Chen Zhi casually replied.
There was a second of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a furious roar: "Who are you calling a eunuch?! Chen Jun! Listen to the nonsense your son is spouting! Bring me the belt!"
Chen Zhi shrank back and quickly steered the conversation back on track: "Alright, alright, Mom, there's really no need to rush. Everything is under control, don't worry. I'm the top dog in the whole province, the kind of guy Tsinghua and Peking University would fight over, I'm not going to run away."
"Keep bragging! You're like a madman, getting on the roof and tearing off the tiles if you don't discipline him for three days! Get back here right now! Don't even think about coming home if you're not back in ten minutes!"
Lin Wanwan, biting her ice cream spoon, listened to Zhang Guifang's roar on the phone and whispered:
"Zhizhi, shall we go back? Auntie seems really angry."
Chen Zhi glanced at Lin Wanwan, who looked worried, and then casually said into the phone, "I can't come back, Mom. I'm out having fun with my friends. I'll be back later."
"Friends?" Zhang Guifang was taken aback. "What kind of friends are more important than checking your scores?"
At the same time, Lin Wanwan, who was standing next to her, froze.
The ice cream in her hand suddenly stopped being sweet.
"Friends?" Lin Wanwan released her grip on Chen Zhi's arm, stood still, and looked at him in disbelief.
Chen Zhi, seemingly oblivious to her expression, continued into the phone, "Yeah, just a regular friend. We finally get to come out together, how can we just leave like that?"
"Just friends?"
Lin Wanwan's voice was trembling.
She threw the ice cream in her hand into the trash can, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
They've only been together for a few days?
They were kissing passionately last night, and today they're just ordinary friends?
"Chen Zhi!"
Lin Wanwan stomped her feet in anger, forcefully shook off Chen Zhi's hand, and turned to walk away angrily.
Chen Zhi quickly hung up the phone and chased after her, grabbing her wrist.
"Hey, hey, what's wrong? My dear lady, you haven't finished your ice cream yet."
"Don't touch me!" Lin Wanwan struggled violently, tears welling in her eyes. "Go find your ordinary friends! Don't come looking for me!"
"Are you really angry?" Chen Zhi grinned and leaned closer.
"How can I not be angry?" Lin Wanwan stopped, pointed at her nose, her voice trembling with tears, "Chen Zhi, you bastard! Am I your friend? Are we still friends?"
"Yes." Chen Zhi nodded, looking completely innocent.
"You—" Lin Wanwan's chest heaved with anger, and tears finally streamed down her face. "What else could I be? Tell me! Who am I to you?"
"Aren't I your girlfriend?!"
The shout drew the attention of passersby.
Looking at the girl in front of him, who seemed about to break from grievance, Chen Zhi finally couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.
He picked up the phone again, which was still connected, and slowly said into the receiver, "Mom, did you hear that? I'm going to coax your daughter-in-law."
Zhang Guifang's expression changed instantly on the other end of the phone.
"Oh! It's Wanwan?"
"You brat, why didn't you say so sooner! You made Wanwan angry! Wanwan, don't cry, don't cry, Auntie will help you beat him up!"
"Bring Wanwan over for dinner tonight! Auntie will cook a big meal for you! I'm hanging up now, don't disturb your date!"
beep--
The phone hangs up.
Lin Wanwan stood there, tears still on her face, her expression shifting from anger to astonishment, and then to blushing.
"You...you just now..."
"I haven't hung up the phone yet." Chen Zhi reached out and wiped away the tears on her face.
"Chen Zhi!!!"
Lin Wanwan finally realized that she had been tricked.
A feeling of embarrassment and annoyance at being teased welled up inside me.
"You're bullying me again! You bully me every single day!"
She rushed into Chen Zhi's arms and slammed her head hard into his chest.
Boom!
"You're murdering your husband!" Chen Zhi exaggeratedly clutched his chest and took two steps back, then pulled her into his arms. "Alright, alright, don't cry."
Lin Wanwan wiped her tears and snot in his arms, using Chen Zhi's new T-shirt as a rag.
"Alright, you've vented your anger, and your clothes are dirty." Chen Zhi ruffled her hair; the feel was as good as ever. "Let's go, let's go, let's go back and check our scores."
"I hate it so much."
……
Chen Zhijia.
Before even entering the door, I could hear Zhang Guifang's hearty laughter coming from inside.
"Hey, Lao Zhang! Long time no see!"
Chen Zhi pushed open the door and saw Zhang Guifang holding her phone, showing it off to everyone.
"Yeah, yeah, he just finished the college entrance exam. Sigh, he's just so-so. I've never seen him study much. All he does is play video games all day."
Zhang Guifang spoke modestly, but her face beamed with joy, "I think I did alright, only 723 points."
"How much? Oh, not high, not high at all, just a few points higher than last year's provincial top scorer. Tsinghua or Peking University? That's for sure! It also depends on the child's mood. If they're in a good mood, they can go; if they're not, we can have them retake the exam! Hahahaha!"
Chen Zhi: "..."
Lin Wanwan: "..."
Chen Zhi changed his shoes and whispered to Lin Wanwan, "Let's go check your score."
As soon as Zhang Guifang hung up, she immediately dialed the next number.
"Hey, Sister Tong! Oh dear, the scores just came out today, how did you know my Chen Zhi got the highest score in the whole province? Ugh, only 723 points, I'm so worried, that score is barely enough for Tsinghua or Peking University to get into their universities..."
Chen Zhi couldn't listen to it anymore, so he pulled Lin Wanwan into the bedroom and turned on the computer.
"Never mind my mom, she's at the peak of her life right now." Chen Zhi skillfully opened the score checking website. "Here, check yours."
Lin Wanwan suddenly became nervous, twisting her hands together: "Zhizhi, I'm a little scared... what if I don't cross the line?"
"What are you afraid of? With your dad around, as long as we don't cross the line, he'll support us."
Chen Zhi entered Lin Wanwan's examination admission ticket number.
Press Enter.
[Examinee: Lin Wanwan]
Total Score: 562
"Wow!" Lin Wanwan exclaimed, covering her mouth in surprise, her eyes instantly lighting up. "562! That's more than thirty points higher than I predicted!"
Chen Zhi also breathed a sigh of relief: "It's a sure thing. With this score, plus your top art exam score in the province, getting into the Central Conservatory of Music is definitely not a problem."
Lin Wanwan excitedly hugged Chen Zhi's neck and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek: "That's great, Zhizhi! We can go to Beijing now!"
But after the initial excitement, her face fell again.
"But... Peking University is in Haidian District, and the Central Conservatory of Music is in Xicheng District." Lin Wanwan counted on her fingers, "The two schools are more than ten kilometers apart! We'd have to take the subway!"
"It's so far away, would you call this a long-distance relationship?"
Seeing her gloomy face, Chen Zhi couldn't help but pinch her cheek: "Big sister, we're both within the Fourth Ring Road of Beijing, and you call this a long-distance relationship? It's only a forty-minute subway ride."
"Isn't forty minutes a long time?" Lin Wanwan pouted. "I want to see you every day, I want to see you as soon as I open my eyes, I want to kiss you anytime, anywhere..."
"Stop, stop." Chen Zhi felt goosebumps rising on his skin. "Are you going to school or to date? I'm getting tired of you being stuck together all the time."
"You find me annoying?!"
Lin Wanwan instantly bristled. She sat on Chen Zhi's lap and said, "Fine, Chen Zhi, you're already looking down on me before we even start university! Tell me, are you planning to go to Peking University and find some other female students?"
"I'm telling you, no way! I'm going to check up on you at Peking University every day! I'm going to install GPS on you!"
"What's so troublesome about it? You just think I'm too clingy, don't you?"
The two were playfully fighting in the small bedroom, with Lin Wanwan straddling Chen Zhi's lap and tickling him with both hands.
The bedroom door wasn't closed properly.
Zhang Guifang, who had just finished making a round of phone calls and was feeling quite satisfied, came over with a slice of watermelon and happened to see this scene.
The two children were making a ruckus on the chairs, their postures and the atmosphere...
Zhang Guifang paused, a knowing smile spreading across her face.
She quietly retreated, gently closing the door behind her.
"Ah, youth is truly wonderful." Zhang Guifang took a bite of watermelon with relish. "I wonder when I'll be able to hold my grandson."
……
Evening
After seeing off the last group of admissions officers from Tsinghua and Peking Universities, Chen Zhi felt a little tired.
These people were so enthusiastic that they almost got into a fight in his living room trying to take him away.
While eating the watermelon that Chen Ma had cut, Lin Wanwan said sourly, "Is this the treatment of a top student? Being fought over by two top universities, tsk tsk tsk."
"It's alright, nothing special." Chen Zhi slumped on the sofa. "If you want to experience it, repeat a year, and I'll tutor you."
"Get lost!" Lin Wanwan threw a piece of watermelon rind into the trash can. "I'm going to Beijing to be a big star, I don't want to repeat a grade!"
After dinner, Lin Wanwan lingered for a while longer before going home.
The room was finally quiet.
Chen Zhicheng lay on the bed in a wooden position, staring blankly at the ceiling.
The college entrance exam is over, and the school has been chosen. It seems that my life has suddenly entered a period of emptiness.
For a moment, I felt a little lost.
He rolled over, picked up his phone, and opened the memo app.
His asset distribution was meticulously recorded on it.
In the eighteen years since his rebirth, he has been far from idle.
He gambled all the money he had earned into Invista and the yet-to-be-listed Notes Jump.
Looking at the string of zeros in his account, Chen Zhi smacked his lips.
Inveda is now on the eve of takeoff. According to my memories from my previous life, by 2025, its market value will be sky-high.
Selling now? That's just plain stupid; you'd lose at least tens of billions.
As for the music streaming platform, it's the future king of traffic, currently in a period of rapid development. The shares it holds are like a golden goose that lays golden eggs; once sold, they can't be bought back.
"Sigh, who understands the pain of having money but not being able to spend it?"
Chen Zhi sighed.
His original plan was to live a life of luxury, becoming a billionaire, collecting rent, and playing video games every day – a truly comfortable life.
but now……
The situation seems to be getting out of control.
Three faces involuntarily appeared in his mind.
Lin Wanwan, childhood sweetheart; Pei Ningxue, aloof and cunning; and Li Zhiyi, gentle and tender.
in case……
I'm just saying, hypothetically.
If he wanted to be a little greedy, he wanted all four of them to have a harmonious and happy future.
With just these few fixed shares, the annual dividends are only a few hundred million, which doesn't seem quite enough.
To support this massive battlefield, he needs even greater strength.
You need to have your own business empire, a steady stream of cash flow, and a voice that people dare not underestimate.
"Looks like lying down and doing nothing isn't an option anymore; I need to start a business."
Chen Zhi rubbed his temples.
Starting a business is a risky business with a very low success rate.
Once things start moving, a large portion of the savings I've worked so hard to accumulate might be wiped out.
But if you want to be a little greedy, you have no choice but to start your own business.
Chen Zhi felt somewhat troubled.
Just then, my phone, which was next to my pillow, suddenly vibrated.
Chen Zhi picked it up and took a look.
A message popped up on WeChat from someone labeled "Bad Woman".
This time it wasn't a leg photo?
There's no love left.
Help me, Chen Zhi.
After reading the message, Chen Zhi's heart skipped a beat.
This isn't right.
Given her personality, even if the sky were to fall, she would probably gracefully hold up an umbrella and casually remark, "This sky is falling in such a low-class way."
Why would someone send out a distress message like this now?
Before he could reply, a somewhat unfamiliar light blue panel suddenly popped up in front of him.
[Mission: Elope with your ex-girlfriend]
She is a wealthy heiress whose fate is not in her own hands. Outwardly glamorous, she is powerless to control her own destiny. Now, her mercenary father and wicked stepmother are attempting to use her as a bargaining chip in a business marriage, hoping to regain control of her life.
[Mission Description: You penniless young man, break free from the shackles of class! Take her away from that cold cage, elope with her, and enrage her parents.]
[Task Reward: AI Large Language Model (Basic Source Code and Architecture)]
Chen Zhi's lips twitched violently as he looked at the words.
What does "a penniless young man" mean?
Have you ever met a poor guy with billions in assets?
but……
Chen Zhi's gaze fell on the mission reward.
AI-powered large language model!
As a reborn individual, he knew all too well the significance of this thing.
AI is hailed as the fifth industrial revolution and the next big thing in the world.
If he could get his hands on the source code of this thing right now, even just the basic version, it would be enough for him to carve out a path in the internet field, overtake others, and build his own technological empire.
This is like a pillow delivered just when you're about to fall asleep!
"Let's do it!"
