Zhou Chen's image was still easy to recognize, so Xie Qiao quickly saw Zhou Chen and shouted loudly.
When Zhou Chen saw Xie Qiao, he immediately walked over and came to him. He looked at the boys standing on both sides of Xie Qiao and smiled slightly.
"Long time no see, Xiao Zhou, Qin Chuan."
He Xiaozhou looked at Zhou Chen in surprise, not daring to recognize him.
"Are you really Zhou Chen?"
Even He Xiaozhou, the boy with whom he had the best relationship, dared not recognize him, let alone Qin Chuan. He looked at Zhou Chen up and down, feeling very unbalanced.
Originally, he was quite confident in himself, but felt that Zhou Chen could not be as good as Xie Qiao said.
But now that Zhou Chen was standing in front of him, he had to admit that Zhou Chen was indeed much taller than him, but he didn't think he was handsome. He still thought he was more handsome.
"Why, I'm standing in front of you, is it possible that there are still lies?"
When he left, he was only thirteen years old and had not yet grown. But now he is nineteen. Years of exercise have made his figure very well-proportioned, and his appearance has also changed a lot. It is normal for them not to recognize him.
"It's really you. To be honest, if you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have dared to recognize you even if you walked in front of me. You must have changed too much. It seems that the soil and water of the United States are really different from our country."
He Xiaozhou was surprised, but more than anything, he was happy. His former childhood friend returned again, and the joy of reunion radiated from the inside out.
"Zhou Chen, I heard from Qiao Qiao that you came here as an exchange student and you are also a sophomore this year? Which major are you in?"
"economics."
"Oh, then we are not the same profession."
Zhou Chen hugged He Xiaozhou and Qin Chuan respectively, and then asked Qin Chuan: "Qin Chuan, I heard Qiao Qiao say, didn't you go to Canada to study? Didn't you come here specially to attend Qiao Qiao's opening ceremony? Look.
Your relationship is still as good as ever."
Qin Chuan smiled awkwardly. He knew best how he came back, but Zhou Chen's last sentence was right. His feelings for Xie Qiao remained the same as before.
He said sourly: "It's better now that you are all in the same school. If I had known that I had studied hard, I might have been able to get into Beiqing."
Xie Qiao mocked without giving any face: "Forget it, Qin Chuan, you and Beiqing are destined to have no fate."
When Qin Chuan heard this, his teeth were itching with anger. Do I care about this school in Beiqing? What I care about is you, you idiot.
"It's noon, let's go eat."
"If you don't want to eat outside, just eat in the school cafeteria. Qin Chuan, I'll take you to the Beiqing cafeteria. Although you can't go to school here, it's good to try the cafeteria here."
Xie Qiao made another mockery, which made Qin Chuan very angry.
He Xiaozhou laughed happily on the side, while Zhou Chen looked at Qin Chuan with a half-smile.
He has watched the drama "Zeng Boy", so he naturally knows what kind of person Qin Chuan is. He looks unreliable at first glance, but in fact he is very capable and discerning. He is also a very good person and is worthy of close friendship.
people.
"Let's go to the cafeteria together."
The four of them came to the school cafeteria together, each ordered a meal, and sat down to eat and chat together.
Although they hadn't seen each other for a while, they were not strangers at all. They chatted with each other about their childhood, and Qin Chuan and Xie Qiao kept bickering.
Zhou Chen suddenly said: "I saw an interesting thing on the school's online forum. It was said that on the first day of school, there were four lunatics in the girls' dormitory who almost destroyed the dormitory. Qiao Qiao, is this true?"
As soon as these words came out, Xie Qiao's expression froze instantly, and Qin Chuan couldn't hold it back anymore. He choked on his rice and coughed continuously.
After finally regaining his composure, he laughed loudly: "Zhou Chen, one of the four lunatics you mentioned is right in front of you."
Zhou Chen asked knowingly: "Qiao Qiao, could it be the four people in your dormitory?"
Xie Qiao said angrily: "Can you not open a certain pot and pick up a certain pot? We are poisoned by mushrooms."
Zhou Chen gave a thumbs up and praised: "Awesome, it seems that your dormitory must be famous among the girls' dormitories."
He Xiaozhou had never heard of this matter, so he asked Xie Qiao curiously, and Xie Qiao told him the whole story.
After eating, Xie Qiao wanted to go back to the dormitory to get something, so he left first, leaving Zhou Chen and the others behind.
"Brother Xiaochuan, goodbye Zhou Chen."
Xie Qiao said goodbye to He Xiaozhou and Zhou Chen, except Qin Chuan. Qin Chuan asked dissatisfiedly: "Why don't you say goodbye to me?"
"I won't say goodbye to you."
Looking at Xie Qiao's leaving figure, He Xiaozhou said with a smile: "Qiao Qiao is still the same as when she was a child, there is no change."
Qin Chuan complained: "She is just a brainless person, how can she change anything."
"You two have been fighting since childhood. You said she hasn't changed. I see that your personality hasn't changed since you went to study abroad."
He Xiaozhou looked at Zhou Chen again: "Look at Zhou Chen, he has changed a lot from when he was a child."
Qin Chuan held his chin and looked at it carefully: "Indeed, he didn't talk much before, but he can talk quite a lot now."
Zhou Chen said lightly: "People change, and the atmosphere abroad is very different from that at home. Qin Chuan, you should understand this."
"Yes, Zhou Chen is right. As for Canada where I live, to be honest, I really don't like it. It's very chaotic and there is no domestic security at all."
Qin Chuan is full of resentment towards Canada. If his parents hadn't forced him to go there, he wouldn't have wanted to stay there even if they killed him. He just wanted to return to his country.
He Xiaozhou said with emotion: "Other people say how good foreign countries are, but how come you say that foreign countries are not good at all?"
"People who have never been there want to go, and people who have been there want to come back. That's what it means. Studying abroad is more suitable for rich people. If you don't have money, unless you are particularly talented, it will be difficult to do well abroad."
Zhou Chen understands that most Chinese who go abroad feel that many of them have no choice but to go abroad, and some just yearn for a better life abroad and feel that the air abroad is fragrant. In fact, the vast majority of these people will regret it.
It's just that I have been holding on hard not to return to my country.
Of course, there are also good things abroad, but in Zhou Chen’s view, most of the good things abroad are open to rich people. Ordinary people want to live a good life abroad, the possibility is slim. Famous college students spend time in foreign restaurants.
There are many examples of plates, and third-class citizens are not just lip service.
He Xiaozhou chatted with Zhou Chen and Qin Chuan for a while, then said he was going to class, leaving only Zhou Chen and Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan put his hand on his suitcase, looked at Zhou Chen, rolled his eyes, and an idea came to his mind.
"Zhou Chen, I heard from Qiao Qiao that you live in a single dormitory. Can you take me to see what the single dormitory at Beiqing University is like?"
Zhou Chen saw Qin Chuan's plan at a glance. This guy came back secretly. He borrowed the money for the air ticket and didn't dare to go home, so he could only stay in a hotel.
But the problem is that his money can't support him staying there for long, but he doesn't want to go back to Canada, so if he wants to stay in the country, he has to find a way on his own.
"Let's go and take you to see."
"Okay."
Qin Chuan happily dragged his suitcase and followed Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen's single dormitory belongs to another dormitory building. It is only open to a small number of students and also houses many school staff.
Although the single dormitory is not big, it is thirty or forty square meters, and it also has a separate toilet and bathroom. Qin Chuan followed Zhou Chen in, looking left and right, with a satisfied expression on his face.
"Zhou Chen, I want to discuss something with you."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Chen said first, "Want to sleep on the floor?"
Qin Chuan looked shocked: "How did you know?"
Zhou Chen said with a smile but not a smile: "Normal people can see what you are thinking about Qiao Qiao, and even simple Qiao Qiao and Xiao Zhou can't see it. You should have sneaked back to China; you don't dare to go home.
, I don’t have much money, but I don’t want to go back to Canada, so I can only live frugally and it’s best to find a free place to live, right?”
"Awesome, awesome, Zhou Chen, you are awesome."
Qin Chuan gave a thumbs up and did not hesitate to praise him.
"Now that you've seen it, I won't pretend anymore. You guessed it right. I really don't want to go back, and I don't dare to let my parents know that I'm back. All the money I saved was given to me by Qin Qian.
I stole it, and even the money for the air ticket back was borrowed, so I really don’t have much money now, so why don’t I come to you for help.”
In the end, he was very embarrassed.
"I think the reason why you want to live here with me is that lack of money is just one of the reasons. It's probably more because you want to get closer to Qiao Qiao."
"Hey, if I don't say you have a sharp eye, everything you said is right."
Qin Chuan had a smile on his face, but he soon showed dejection: "But Qiao Qiao, alas..."
Thinking that Xie Qiao said that after being admitted to Beiqing University, he would confess to He Xiaozhou, his mood suddenly dropped.
Zhou Chen patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, your worries will not come true. Xiaozhou only regards Qiao Qiao as his sister. There is absolutely no possibility between them."
Qin Chuan's eyes suddenly widened: "Have you seen this? Did Qiao Qiao also tell you that she wanted to confess her love?"
Zhou Chenfeng said calmly: "Do you need to say more? You can tell from the look in Qiao Qiao's eyes that she has the same secret love as you."
Qin Chuan didn't care about Zhou Chen's teasing, but asked nervously: "Is it really impossible for Qiao Qiao and Xiao Zhou?"
"Don't worry, it's absolutely impossible. Let me remind you, if you want to pursue Qiao Qiao, you should start early. There are too many boys in the university. Be careful of being intercepted."
Zhou Chen naturally knew about Xie Qiao's later relationship with Yang Cheng, but he couldn't tell Qin Chuan about this matter that hadn't happened yet, so he could only mention it vaguely.
"Understood, I know it well."
Qin Chuan sat on the chair with a thoughtful expression on his face, as if he was thinking about how to confess his love to Xie Qiao.
Zhou Chen threw a dormitory key to Qin Chuan.
"You can stay in this dormitory first, and return the key to me after you leave. But remember it for me. The dormitory has been cleaned for me, so don't mess around."
Qin Chuan hurriedly took the key, and then asked in confusion: "Ah, don't you live here?"
"I'm not used to two grown men sleeping in the same bed."
"Then where are you going to live?"
"After the demolition of Denghua Hutong, my second grandfather helped me get two apartments. I am planning to live in a new house recently."
Qin Chuan's expression suddenly froze, and after a few seconds, he gave a thumbs up again.
"You are awesome, you have two apartments, and now you have become a nouveau riche in love."
Zhou Chen warned: "Be careful with your words. A nouveau riche is not worthy of my temperament. Let's go. I've been busy recently and won't come. Please keep an eye on me."
It is already September 5th, and in a few days, a major event that will shock the world will happen.
At first, he was still hesitant about whether to make a fortune from this matter, but now he figured it out, it was not his country anyway, and he did not need to be responsible for it. He could definitely use this matter to make a fortune.
The pen will be used in the development of one's own country in the future.
The 21st century has just begun. It can be said that there are good opportunities to make money everywhere in this era. Especially for people like Zhou Chen who understand the development in the following decades, it is really easy to make money.
Of course, if you want to be rich, you must not only have the ability to make money, but also the ability to keep wealth. Without the power to keep wealth, no amount of wealth is safe.
On the second day of the opening ceremony, Xie Qiao and the other freshmen began their military training.
After school started, Zhou Chen also reported to his class. Because he was originally from the capital, he could easily integrate into the class.
Because Zhou Chen has excellent grades at Stanford University and is a Chinese compatriot, his class teacher is very generous to him. As long as he can maintain excellent grades, he will not be too forced to do other things.
Therefore, Zhou Chen's schooling career in Beiqing was very easy. With the knowledge he had mastered, the content in the class was really simple and he could learn it without much effort, let alone exams.
The plane crash that shocked the world happened on time and had a huge impact on the international community.
Zhou Chen, on the other hand, made money secretly and gave full play to his strategic policy of accumulating grain and slowly becoming king.
When he came to the dormitory again, he saw Qin Chuan eating instant noodles with his arms in his arms.
"This is how you live your life. Didn't I leave you a few hundred dollars?"
Qin Chuan replied inarticulately: "You don't know, I still owe a lot of debt, so I have to save money. Why haven't you come here lately? If you don't know, you think I'm an exchange student."
Woolen cloth."
"Qiao Qiao, are you just going to stay here these days for military training?"
"Ah, I don't dare to run around. If my parents find out, I will lose my skin even if I die."
Qin Chuan was also helpless. He wanted to go out and have fun, but he was worried that his family would discover him.
"But Qiaoqiao's military training is over. She just called me and asked me to go with her to choose a club later. Do you want to come with us?"
Zhou Chen said: "I have no intention of being a light bulb. You can go to hell. I have to go out to do something later."
He scanned around the dormitory and found that everything he saw was quite clean. It seemed that Qin Chuan had remembered what he said and didn't make a mess here.
