The girl sneered, "Why should I be afraid?"

Xu Zhe looked at the reporter and said calmly, "That's fine. A proper reputation may help us recruit people and make the next game."

320. Chapter 318 317 The principal can rest assured

320.

After the interview with reporter Wu, more than ten peaceful days passed.

The new semester has started, but Xu Zhe's daily life is still as leisurely as before - attending classes with Song Xingye, having dinner with Feifei, chatting with Shen Lan on his phone, listening to lectures when he wants to, doing exercises when he wants to, and taking out his laptop to plan his next game when he doesn't want to study.

Until one seemingly ordinary Tuesday afternoon, during geography class, the head teacher Liu Shu suddenly knocked on the classroom door.

"Xu Zhe, can you come out with me for a moment?" Teacher Liu said this with a smile on his face and a gentle tone. Anyone could tell that he was definitely not looking for Xu Zhe because he wanted to criticize him.

At this time, Xu Zhe was using the computer. Hearing this, he quickly saved the work file and closed the notebook.

Then he stood up and walked out of the classroom.

After closing the door, Teacher Liu said to him, "The principal wants to talk to you."

Xu Zhe was a little surprised: "Principal?"

Teacher Liu nodded and said, "It is said that there is an article about you in a famous magazine. The principal wants to know if it was the interview you accepted?"

Xu Zhe: “It’s indeed me.”

Teacher Liu: "Then today our school received an interview request. The principal wants to know your opinion on whether to accept it or not."

Xu Zhe: "I don't think it's necessary. One interview is enough..."

Teacher Liu shook his head: "It's pointless to tell me this. You have to leave it to the principal. Besides, he is quite curious about you."

Xu Zhe: "What are you curious about?"

Teacher Liu: "He was just asking how much money you made from making a game. The older generation really can't understand how making games can actually make money."

Xu Zhe said leisurely: "There will be many more things that the older generation will not understand in the future."

----

The principal's office is not much different from other teachers' offices in terms of decoration style, but it is indeed more spacious. The area is similar, but there are several teachers in one room, while here only one person occupies one room, so the feeling is certainly different.

Xu Zhe sat down on the sofa, while the principal sat behind the desk, a short distance away.

The principal sighed, "You are going to be famous, and you can be featured in such a big magazine..."

Xu Zhe said "thank you for the compliment", but in fact, he really didn't think it was an honor to be on the magazine. Compared with the achievement of being on the top of the Pingguo game bestseller list, the magazine interview was just a little extra.

There are not many domestic games that have achieved success overseas these days, unlike ten years later. However, the game "Ski Escape" developed by Shen Lan and I is definitely worthy of being introduced in detail in future documentaries on the gaming industry.

The principal added, "But some of my old friends in the education system are actually a little worried. Because being a good student and playing video games don't seem to go together. If some internet-addicted teenager uses you as a shield in the future... that might not be a good thing."

After hearing what others said, Xu Zhe thought about it for a moment.

Last year, at the meeting after the freshman military training, Xu Zhe had a few words with the principal. At that time, he had the impression that the leader seemed quite open-minded. But the current situation is different from that time.

The freshman representative's speech was not a big deal, and Xu Zhe's speech at the time did not really criticize the school. But the fact that a good student made a lot of money by making games was completely different.

Of course, Xu Zhe was very confident. After all, this high school couldn't control him anyway. But the less unnecessary arguments, the better.

He asked, “Do you think there is a problem?”

The principal said carefully, "I don't know if you will accept other interviews or speak through your company's channels... I think you are going to be famous. In this case, do you plan to be more cautious in your words and deeds in the future, or be aggressive like Han Han?"

Xu Zhe: "I have no interest in attacking others. In the future, I don't want to accept any interviews anymore. Once is enough. I want to continue to start my own business and continue to study. I don't have the time or energy to play with others."

"Aren't you going to be interviewed anymore?" the principal asked again. When he saw the kid nodded, he heaved a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his old face.

From this performance, Xu Zhe also confirmed the other party's thoughts.

As the principal of an experimental middle school, he doesn't have to worry about the source of students or daily operations. As long as he can maintain the status quo and have a few more outstanding student role models, it will be fine. But if this role model becomes a celebrity in the public opinion field who stirs up trouble and even attacks the education system and the traditional concepts of many parents, then it will be a bit of an extra trouble.

"Student Xu Zhe, you are really amazing. Not only are you smart, but you are also very mature in your thinking. Let me put it this way, our school also hopes to help you on your entrepreneurial journey. From now on, no matter what happens, you can talk to your teacher and we can discuss everything."

After saying that, the principal stood up and came over to shake hands with him.

Xu Zhe also smiled and said, "Thank you."

Although the head teacher no longer cares about me, the principal's words are undoubtedly a higher level of authorization. In the future, even if I miss classes for consecutive days, I won't be marked as absent, right?

But after shaking hands, the principal realized a problem and said, "But we are starting a business, but we can't affect other students too much."

Xu Zhe: "What do you mean by influencing other students..."

The principal smiled and said, "You are such a young and handsome guy. Now you are famous, you must be very popular with girls, right? If you fall in love in school, won't it affect other female classmates?"

Xu Zhe immediately stated: "Don't worry, I will never do that. I am not that kind of person."

Just then, there was another knock on the office door.

Then Shen Lan's voice rang out: "You are here too?"

Xu Zhe turned his head to look at the girl who appeared at the door, and asked in surprise: "You... were also called in for a talk?"

Shen Lan nodded: "Yes, I was there before you. Because the high school is closer to here."

The principal added: "I just said something similar to Shen Lan. You two both make me feel relieved."

Xu Zhe: "Then I'm leaving?"

The principal nodded, and then the boy stood up and walked out of the office. But at this moment, he noticed that when Xu Zhe just walked to the door, Shen Lan started talking and laughing with him. Although there was no intimate behavior such as holding hands, the demeanor and expression made the experienced educator immediately confirm something.

"If it's these two people, then it really doesn't seem to matter."

The principal whispered to himself, feeling more reassured.

321. Chapter 319 What is the ban on 318?

321.

I left the principal's office and returned to my seat in the classroom, and the bell rang.

The teacher started the class, but this did not stop Xu Zhe from taking out his cell phone. Of course, when using his cell phone or computer, he would hide it under the desk, which was also a respect for school order. Of course, the teacher could tell at a glance that this kid was not paying attention to the class, but they also understood that there was no need to discipline him.

Song Xingye, who was next to Xu Zhe, was attending class seriously.

Xu Zhe used his mobile phone to access the portal website, searched a little, and soon saw the article about himself. What he found first was not the interview manuscript sent by reporter Wu, but the introduction article sent by the editor of the website. In the comment section after the article, various opinions had already appeared, dozens or even hundreds of them.

Some people left a message saying, "Geniuses like this are rare. If it were an ordinary person, would you dare to let your child not study hard and play games?"

Some people also say that "there is something wrong with the education. They only know how to train screws, and the good children have been turned stupid by the education."

Of course, there are still doubts, "Have you really heard of this Lanzhe Technology? Just setting up a shell company can make news, right?"

Under the doubter, there was an immediate reply, "That's because you haven't heard of it. I have played all the games they released."

Xu Zhe just glanced at it and stopped browsing after seeing all these comments. He knew that it was enough to just get a general idea of ​​the comments online, and there was no need to take them too seriously, otherwise it would only distract his attention and waste his time and energy.

He just wanted to see how famous he was now.

So Xu Zhe searched on several mainstream portals and found only four or five articles introducing himself and Shen Lan. Unlike the Internet environment ten years later, ordinary people with no foundation on the Internet these days were obviously not so easy to attract attention. The term "hot search" had not yet been born.

He also found the online website of the magazine. Among the latest articles on it, the most popular one was the one introducing Lanzhe Technology, and the article was signed by Wu Chengxu. But even this most popular article only had about thirty comments in total.

Suddenly, a girl's soft voice came to my ears: "Are you just starting to search for your own news now?"

Xu Zhe raised his head and saw Song Xingye holding up the textbook to cover her face and staring at him.

He said: "The magazine did notify me when it published the article, but there was no response that day, so I didn't pay attention. But there has been a response since today."

Song Xingye: "The principal asked you to go to his office just now. Was it because of that interview?"

Xu Zhe: "Yes, speaking of that interview, have you seen it too?"

Song Xingye smiled and said, "Of course, I'm your number one fan."

Of course, it feels good to be stared at with admiration by a cute girl.

Song Xingye added: "And it's not just me, other students in the class have also seen it."

Xu Zhe: “But no one told me.”

Song Xingye guessed, "Because everyone is a little afraid to talk to you, right? By the way, there are not many people who will take the initiative to talk to me. But I have good ears, and I heard some classmates talking about you recently. They all said that you are the kind of..."

Xu Zhe: “Which one?”

"He is an unattainable big shot," Song Xingye laughed even more happily, "As for me, I am the big shot's forbidden lover..."

"Hey, don't talk nonsense, what's the forbidden food?"

Song Xingye closed her mouth and stared at him quietly, but her eyes were full of smiles.

"Little Leaf, Little Leaf, look at this!"

During this break, Tang Lingfei asked her best friend out, and she also took a magazine in her hand. Tang Lingfei had almost never taken the initiative to read this kind of current affairs magazine for adults, but now she had to read it.

She turned to a page that had been folded long ago and pointed to the title of the article [Lanzhe Technology: Contemporary Gaming Genius].

Song Xingye took a look and said, "This, did you just see it?"

Tang Lingfei was stunned: "You have seen it a long time ago?"

Song Xingye nodded: "Of course. Because of this interview, the principal had a special talk with Xu Zhe today."

Tang Lingfei: "What did the principal talk to him about... It definitely wasn't about punishment. The interview was full of good things. Hey, could it be that the principal wanted Xu Zhe to donate money to the school?"

Song Xingye didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Our school is not short of money, there is no need to be so anxious to ask for money. I heard from Xu Zhe that it was nothing serious, just a simple chat."

"I see," Tang Lingfei suddenly pointed to the illustration in the middle of the article, "Don't you think this reporter is quite good at taking photos?"

Song Xingye: "Well, senior sisters Xu Zhe and Shen Lan already have very good foundations, so it's not easy to make them look ugly."

Tang Lingfei's expression became more serious: "No, you don't understand what the biggest problem is. This magazine is not mine, it belongs to a boy in our class. They found Xu Zhe and started saying..."

Song Xingye: "What did you say about Xu Zhe?"

Tang Lingfei: "They say 'Men become bad when they have money'. Xu Zhe has made a lot of money, so he must be as bad as he wants to be. Then some girls saw Xu Zhe's photo and said it would be great if they could make friends with him..."

Song Xingye raised the corner of his mouth slightly and jokingly said, "So you are worried?"

Tang Lingfei asked back: "Aren't you worried?"

Song Xingye shook her head. "I told you, I have always believed in him. Besides, when we were in junior high school, your classmate also wanted to make friends with Xu Zhe, but what happened? I have long seen that Xu Zhe is actually a very introverted person. Unless it is necessary, he doesn't like to make new friends, including girls."

Tang Lingfei murmured: "Is that so..."

Song Xingye took the magazine, rolled it into a cylinder, and tapped her best friend's head gently.

Then the quiet girl added, "And Feifei, you're almost there too, you know that?"

Tang Lingfei: "What's coming soon?"

Song Xingye: "You're going to be famous soon. Haven't you finished recording that song in the studio? My dad told me that he's talking to the people at Sony about your version. Maybe soon, you'll have a professional manager and release your debut single."

"Debut..." Tang Lingfei pondered over this word, feeling it was particularly novel.

At this time, the bell rang again.

After comforting her best friend, Song Xingye returned to the classroom.

She walked past Xu Zhe and sat down in her seat. At the same time, she noticed that Xu Zhe had a laptop on his lap and seemed to be looking at something related to work.

The girl suddenly asked softly, "Won't your legs get tired like this? The computer seems quite heavy."

Xu Zhe: "A little tired."

Song Xingye stretched out his legs and patted them: "How about putting them here?"

Put the computer on the legs of the girl sitting next to me to work? This option made Xu Zhe stunned.

He doubted: "This, is not good..."

Song Xingye smiled slightly and whispered, "Anyway, it's a self-study class. There's no teacher, and no one else will look over here. Just turn a little sideways."
