"Happy New Year."

"........."

As they talked, they turned the topic to Zhou Chen.

"Zhou Chen, you are really amazing now. You are ranked second in the grade. Are you going to give us poor students a hard time?"

Fang Yifan kept complaining to Zhou Chen: "You don't know, now whenever my mom talks about grades, the first person she mentions is Lei'er, and the second person she mentions is Zhou Chen. She tells me how smart and hardworking Zhou Chen is, and how he went from last in the class to second in the grade. She tells me to take him as an example and a goal."

"Really? I'm not exaggerating. Whenever I hear my mom mention Zhou Chen, I get a headache. Even now, I feel very awkward when I see Zhou Chen."

Zhou Chen sneered: "You deserve it. I can't help but feel impatient when I see you."

After that, he ignored Fang Yifan and turned to Qiao Yingzi and asked, "Yingzi, we haven't seen each other much recently. How are you now?"

Qiao Yingzi smiled and said, "I'm fine. I'm fine. My parents have been very nice to me recently. I'm a little uncomfortable with it."

Compared to a month ago, she was indeed much better. She was no longer as gloomy and her mood was much better. Even when she went to bed at night, she could fall asleep peacefully without listening to Zhou Chen's songs.

The main reason was that in order to cure her, her parents pretended to reconcile and remarry, and they were especially good to her, so she felt very happy recently.

When people are happy, they will naturally stop having wild thoughts. When they are in a good mood, depression will naturally not become more serious or recur.

Huang Zhitao smiled and said, "To be honest, I was really shocked when I heard that Yingzi was sick. But looking at Yingzi's condition, she was about to get sick, so I was afraid I would be sick too, because I was much more anxious than she was."

Fang Yifan also said: "Taozi is right, Yingzi, think about how I am treated? If you have depression, then wouldn't I be schizophrenic?"

Zhou Chen and Qiao Yingzi agreed not to spread the news of her illness, but Qiao Weidong told the news anyway. When he was drinking with Fang Yuan and Ji Shengli, he lost control and leaked the news. So Fang Yifan and the others also knew about Qiao Yingzi's condition.

Fortunately, Qiao Yingzi had a good attitude, and after several good friends found out about it, they took great care of her, so it didn't upset her.

Qiao Yingzi said: "Don't worry about me, I am fine and healthy now."

Zhou Chen: "Blame me. I shouldn't say such unhappy things during the New Year. Let's talk about something happy."

"Yes, say something happy."

Several people played in Qiao Yingzi's secret base until very late. That night, the parents of several families did not rush the children and let them play to their heart's content.

The New Year ended quickly. Because it was the third year of high school, Zhou Chen and his classmates started school early and began the last semester of their high school career.

After entering the second half of senior year, students' stress has invisibly increased by several points, and their emotions have become more and more anxious.

Zhou Chen is one of the few people who has not been affected. After half a year of study, he has completely mastered the high school knowledge. Even if he stops studying from now on, he will not do badly in the college entrance examination.

In addition, he had not planned to be the top scorer in the college entrance examination, so he was very relaxed and felt no pressure at all.

In the basic class, this group of students who were not doing well in academics also stopped playing around and started studying seriously.

Among them is Ji Yangyang.

Ji Yangyang has changed a lot. Ever since his mother fell ill, he seemed to have matured overnight. He began to study seriously and his level of study surpassed that of everyone in the basic class.

As for Fang Yifan, the tense learning atmosphere seemed to have no effect on him. He was still the same as before. He and Zhou Chen were the two most leisurely people in the basic class. For this reason, Pan Shuai had talked to him many times.

It’s a pity that Fang Yifan is Fang Yifan. Even if he was criticized, he only tried hard for two or three days and then returned to his original state.

Fang Yifan put most of his energy into art exams, and he trained singing and dancing much harder than he did academic studies.

Everyone has their own choice, and Zhou Chen did not try to persuade Fang Yifan. Although they were friends, he had no right to tell Fang Yifan what to do.

A few months passed in the blink of an eye.

June 7th is the first day of the college entrance examination and also the most important day for countless high school students across the country.

Although university cannot determine a person's life, a good university diploma is definitely an important stepping stone.

For those students who have not yet graduated from school, they do not understand the meaning of this now. Only when they go out to work in the future, will they understand how important a diploma is.

The college entrance examination lasted for several days. When it was over, Fang Yifan excitedly invited everyone to go out and play together.

Speaking of Fang Yifan, this guy is indeed talented and lucky. He took the art exams and passed four of them, one more art school than in the plot.

At that time, Fang Yifan was so proud that he seemed to tell the whole world.

However, whether one can be admitted or not ultimately depends on his academic performance, so Fang Yifan's academic performance is the biggest factor in determining which school he will go to.

In addition to Fang Yifan, there were several people from Chunfeng Middle School who took the art exam. Among them, Wang Yidi had the best result, and was admitted by more than a dozen art colleges. As long as she had excellent academic performance, she could enter the best art college.

Wang Yidi is beautiful and has been practicing art since childhood. She has a solid foundation, so it is not surprising that she has achieved such results.

After the college entrance examination, Zhou Chen felt pretty good. He would definitely have no problem getting a high score. As for whether he could be the top scorer, he was not sure. After all, China has never lacked top students.

But he had already discussed with Qiao Yingzi that no matter how many points he got in the exam, he would only go to Jinling University in the end.

As for Lin Lei'er, since he was in the same examination room as Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen gave him some psychological counseling before the exam, which helped him relieve a lot of stress.

Anyway, after Lin Lei'er finished the exam, he seemed quite confident. I believe that the test results should make him satisfied.

Not only Lin Lei'er, but also several good friends, Qiao Yingzi, Huang Zhitao, Ji Yangyang and Zhou Chen gave them encouragement, hoping that they could get good grades.

On the day of the college entrance examination, just like in the TV series, Qiao Weidong and Song Qian actually remarried and showed their marriage certificate to Qiao Yingzi.

Anyway, that scene made Zhou Chen feel very embarrassed.

This plot only looks touching in the TV series, but if it really happens in reality, it would be extremely embarrassing unless the person involved really doesn't care about other people's opinions.

Qiao Yingzi's expression at the time was very happy, but also very embarrassed. After saying hello to her parents, she immediately ran away.

This shows that Qiao Yingzi still hasn't understood the truth. She is not embarrassed, but others are.

After the college entrance examination, everyone gathered together and briefly talked about the college entrance examination. Even Fang Yifan was full of confidence, not to mention the others. Only Huang Zhitao was very nervous and was not sure whether he could do well in the exam.

The time of waiting for the results is the most torturous, but that is only for the candidates who lack confidence.

Confident candidates, after comparing their answers after the test, have estimated their scores to a close approximation.

Therefore, those with a good mentality will not suffer, but those with a bad mentality will collapse on the spot.

On the day when the college entrance examination results came out, Zhou Chen had not even checked the results himself when he received a call from the school. It was his homeroom teacher, Pan Shuai.

He ranked second in the science subject of the Yenching College Entrance Examination, with a score of over 700.

The reason why he was not the top scorer was because the top scorer of this year had additional bonus points, and his total score plus the additional points exceeded Zhou Chen, making him the top scorer in the college entrance examination.

In fact, if only based on the college entrance examination results, Zhou Chen would definitely be the top scorer, but the result is like this. Most people do not understand the reason. They only look at the total score and have no idea about additional points.

When Pan Shuai called, he kept talking about this matter on the phone. He almost had a top scorer in the college entrance examination. For a senior high school teacher, it was absolutely the supreme honor.

It’s a pity that such a good opportunity slipped away from him in vain, and his tone was full of regret.

After hearing this, Zhou Chen did not feel regretful. He had not had that plan in the first place. He just tried his best. He did not feel anything about missing out.

This result was expected for Zhou Chen, as he could choose any major at Jinling University.

Soon Zhou Chen also knew the scores of the other students. Lin Lei'er also scored over 700 points, so there would be no problem for him to be admitted to the Physics Department of Shuimu University.

Huang Zhitao's grades were also good, which should be enough for admission to some majors at Shuimu University. Qiao Yingzi's grades were a few points lower than Huang Zhitao's, but they were good enough for admission to the Astronomy Department of Jinling University.

Even Ji Yangyang got good grades, but Fang Yifan was too proud and his academic performance was relatively poor. However, he was still able to enter an art school.

After the results came out, everyone filled out their own applications, and then each class in the school held activities. After all, after this separation, there might not be many opportunities to meet again in the future.

Before saying goodbye, Wang Yidi went to Zhou Chen to cry and complain to him, saying that a year had passed in her senior year of high school and he still hadn't taught her "To Qiao Yingzi".

In the end, Lin Lei'er was admitted to the Department of Physics of Shuimu University as he wished, Ji Yangyang went abroad to study language, and Huang Zhitao finally chose Peking University.

Among the group of six, Zhou Chen and Qiao Yingzi went to Jinling University, and Fang Yifan had no choice but to go to Jinling Academy of Arts.

Before school started, Zhou Chen also gave up his house in Shuxiang Yayuan. He probably won’t be visiting this community too often in the future.

Time flies!

College life should be said to be the most memorable, because Zhou Chen and Qiao Yingzi were in the same university, so not long after entering college, they became boyfriend and girlfriend, and often paired up, having a passionate campus romance.

Because Fang Yifan's school was close by, he would often come to play with Zhou Chen and Qiao Yingzi, and their relationship had never been unfamiliar.

When they returned to Yanjing during the holidays every semester, Lin Lei'er and Huang Zhitao would get together with Zhou Chen and the others. The only one was Ji Yangyang, who they hadn't contacted for a long time, and hadn't posted a message in the WeChat group of their six-member group for a long time.

Zhou Chen had already expected such a result.

After high school, Ji Yangyang wouldn't have much interaction with them, especially after going abroad. Even if he returned to China in the future, the relationship would probably have faded.

Zhou Chen majored in astronomy in college. Actually, he originally wanted to study finance or management, but after looking at the majors at Jinling University, he finally decided to choose the same major as Qiao Yingzi, because the astronomy department of Jinling University is indeed world-class.

Zhou Chen studied astronomy in college, but most of the things he did during his college years had nothing to do with astronomy, such as starting a company, making money, and trading stocks.

Zhou Chen is not planning to work in a government agency in the future. He studies astronomy not only to enrich his knowledge, but also to accompany Qiao Yingzi.

He plans to stay in this world for a long time, so it is crucial for him to have a common language with his girlfriend and even his wife.

Using his foresight, knowledge and abilities, Zhou Chen quadrupled his net worth in four years at university, with personal assets exceeding 10 billion.

After graduation, Zhou Chen simply used his own money to open an astronomical research institute. Because he made great contributions during the epidemic, the Yenching government gave a lot of preferential treatment and help to the institute, saving him a lot of trouble.

Studying astronomy is definitely a bottomless pit, so Zhou Chen started making money non-stop again.

As for the research institute, it was handed over to a more professional person, the mentor he met during college, who led Qiao Yingzi and others in the research.

In the third year after graduation, Zhou Chen and Qiao Yingzi ended their long-term relationship and held their wedding in a five-star hotel in Yanjing. Amidst thousands of congratulations, they officially became husband and wife.

Zhou Chen originally thought that his married life with Qiao Yingzi would be very happy and fulfilling, but in fact, he really thought things were too simple.

Chapter 270 Life is always imperfect, Zhou Chen's cruelty

After a busy day at work, Zhou Chen returned home and saw Song Qian, who looked serious and tired.

"Mom, how is Yingzi feeling today?"

He has been married to Qiao Yingzi for three years. In the first year, they were both busy with work and the household was taken care of by the nanny, Chen Ma.

But after that incident happened the following year, Song Qian and Qiao Weidong made it clear that they would come and take care of their daughter.

His father-in-law and mother-in-law only had one daughter, Qiao Yingzi, and they wanted to come and take care of their daughter. Zhou Chen naturally had no reason to refuse.

So he spent money to buy a bigger villa. Originally, he wanted to invite Chen Ma to come with him. After all, it was Chen Ma who had taken care of him all these years, and Chen Ma knew all his habits best.

But less than a month after arriving at the new villa, Chen's mother left again.

It wasn't Zhou Chen who drove her away, but Song Qian was too protective of her daughter. She couldn't stand many of Chen Ma's behaviors, which made it very difficult for Chen Ma.

Although Chen Ma is a servant, she has been with Zhou Chen's mother for a long time and has taken care of Zhou Chen for more than 20 years. Seeing that she is suffering here, Zhou Chen can only let her go back to the old villa and try not to meet Song Qian.

Zhou Chen had encountered family problems like this before, but this time, his mother-in-law Song Qian really left him speechless.

Whenever it came to Yingzi, she would take care of everything. Sometimes, when he came back from socializing and drinking outside, Song Qian would say something to him, making him very depressed.

It has been eight years since I started dating Qiao Yingzi in college and got married.

In the past few years, under Zhou Chen's management, their relationship could be said to be harmonious and inseparable. They were definitely a couple that countless men and women envied.

But something happened two years ago, and since then, although they are still as loving as ever, many inevitable conflicts have arisen between them.

It was because of that incident that Song Qian became picky and dissatisfied in many ways.

The year before last, which was the second year of Zhou Chen and Qiao Yingzi's marriage, Qiao Yingzi became pregnant.

This was supposed to be a joyful thing, and Zhou Chen, Song Qian and others were extremely excited.

This was not the first time Zhou Chen had a child. When all was well in the world, he also had a daughter.

It's just that at that time, his feelings for Yi Fei were not deep, while Qiao Yingzi was the one he had a crush on since high school, and they had been in a long-distance relationship for many years before finally getting married.

The relationship between the two can be said to be very deep, and now they have a child, which is the best testimony of their love.

But no one expected that an accident would happen, and this accident was caused by Zhou Chen's scumbag father.

At that time, Zhou Chen relied on his own ability and foresight to dominate the business world and made a fortune crazily. The Chenying Group, which he founded, now has seven or eight subsidiaries, including a trading company, a mask joint company, an astronomical research institute, a logistics company, an entertainment company, and so on.

Although it has not yet gone public, Chenying Group's assets have already exceeded 10 billion, making it a veritable business giant.

Compared with Zhou Chen, Zhou Guodong's luck is not so good. Ever since he was rejected by Zhou Chen, he seemed to have lost the aura of the protagonist. Several years have passed, and his career has not made any progress.

Although he is still considered a billionaire now, his life is not as good as before he fell ill.

Knowing that his son had become a business tycoon, Zhou Guodong once again approached Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen did not even give him a chance to meet him and ignored him many times.

It is precisely because of this that the tragedy occurred.

Zhou Guodong felt that he couldn't get the solution from Zhou Chen, so he thought about getting a solution from his daughter-in-law Qiao Yingzi, and then he went to find Qiao Yingzi.

But no one knew what was wrong with Zhou Guodong. It would have been fine if he had just gone alone, but he actually brought Wang Xue along.

The two men came to Qiao Yingzi with flattering faces. Qiao Yingzi was relatively polite in her attitude, but knowing that they came to ask for help, she avoided the question.
