Chapter 255: Fourth place, Fangyuan is looking for a job
The midterm exam is a unified examination for the entire district. Chunfeng Middle School attaches great importance to it. Everyone in the third grade of high school takes separate exams, just like the college entrance examination.
The exam took two days in total. After the exam, it happened to be the weekend and I had two days of rest.
Zhou Chen did not stop for two days over the weekend, but went directly to the Guanbing Mask Factory in Liji Town to inspect.
It has been almost a month since he took a stake in the mask factory. With the funds settled in, everything is slowly recovering, and the production speed has increased by more than one level.
Today's mask factory warehouses have stored a large number of masks, neatly placed together.
Zhou Chen came to the warehouse and looked at the masks inside, feeling very satisfied.
Although these masks are not worth much now, not long ago, these masks will become important materials that are hard to buy.
Zhou Chen started touring the factory in the morning and did not leave at night. He stayed in the dormitory of the factory overnight.
Zhou Chen was quite satisfied with the progress of the factory, so he left the next day.
Most of the factory's management now belongs to him, and he will know immediately if there is any trouble.
The results of the midterm exam came out on Monday afternoon and were posted on the bulletin board.
Zhou Chen followed Fang Yifan and the others to check the results. Fang Yifan went from back to front and quickly found his name.
"More than four hundred and fifty, beautiful."
When Fang Yifan saw that his total score was more than 450, he immediately shouted in surprise, especially when he saw that his score was higher than Ji Yangyang's, he wanted to let the whole world know about his pride.
Ji Yangyang glanced at his results and rankings, then turned around and left indifferently, making Fang Yifan very bored.
Fang Yifan asked Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, have you found your name?"
Zhou Chen glanced at him lightly and said, "I'm different from you. You look from back to front, but I want to look from front to back."
Fang Yifan looked disgusted: "Zhou Chen, do you want to show some respect? I admit that your grades are better than mine, but the ones in front are occupied by my cousin and Yingzi. What does it have to do with you?"
Zhou Chen: "Then search slowly and see when you can find my name."
This time, he tried his best to take the exam. He didn't dare to say that he got the first place, but he would definitely be ranked at the top, so he was not in a hurry to find his name.
He didn't look for it, but someone saw his name and let out an earth-shattering howl.
"Fuck, am I blind? Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen."
The one shouting was another living treasure, the big bear He Hongyu. His voice was really loud. When he roared, everyone looked at him.
Daxiong rushed to Zhou Chen's side in two or three steps, grabbed him, and said in shock: "Zhou Chen, are you really Zhou Chen? You actually got fourth place in your grade. Are you still the Zhou Chen I know?
?”
Zhou Chen was not surprised when he heard that he got fourth in the exam, but Fang Yifan was different. His eyes were wider than those of a dog.
"Daxiong, tell me again, where did Zhou Chen get in the exam?"
"Fourth in the whole grade, ranking in the top five percent in the district."
"This is not true, absolutely not."
Fang Yifan pushed the big bear away and walked quickly to the front. Looking down from above, the first person he saw was his cousin Lin Lei'er.
"Second, third, fourth: Zhou Chen, hiss, it turns out to be true."
Seeing this ranking, Fang Yifan couldn't help but admit it.
Zhou Chen walked behind Fang Yifan and began to search for Qiao Yingzi's name, and saw Qiao Yingzi's name in the seventh place.
"Seventh place, not bad."
This ranking made Zhou Chen relieved. Although for Qiao Yingzi, this ranking was a little behind than before, but it was much better than the results in the plot.
Zhou Chen soon saw Qiao Yingzi and Huang Zhitao. When he glanced over, he found that Qiao Yingzi was also looking at him, but her eyes were not so friendly.
"Zhou Chen, why are you progressing so fast?"
Huang Zhitao pulled Qiao Yingzi to Zhou Chen and asked Zhou Chen very curiously. She was ranked third in grade this time, only one place higher than Zhou Chen.
You must know that she worked hard for so long to get third place in the exam, but Zhou Chen was able to get fourth place in the basic class. This really made her unbelievable, because she saw that Zhou Chen obviously spent more time playing than studying.
Much time.
Zhou Chen said: "Men always strike first. I used to count down because I didn't want to learn. Now that I want to learn, progress will be easy."
With his extraordinary spirit now, high school knowledge is really nothing to him. To achieve this result in more than two months cannot be said to be his limit, because he also spent a lot of time on other things.
.
Huang Zhitao made a sound and asked: "Zhou Chen, have you mastered any good learning methods? Can you tell us some?"
Qiao Yingzi also showed a curious expression. Zhou Chen's progress was so fast that they had an unreal feeling. They instinctively thought that Zhou Chen had mastered some good learning methods.
Zhou Chen: "Based on our relationship, if I really had any good learning methods, would I not tell you?"
"Yingzi, I got fourth place in the exam, why don't you look unhappy?"
Qiao Yingzi snorted: "Should I be happy? You passed the fourth exam and I only took the eighth exam. How can you make me happy?"
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "I think you are unhappy. It seems that it is not just that you only got eighth in the exam, but there are other reasons, right?"
Qiao Yingzi's eyes evaded, "What a mess, I just got fourth place in the exam. I'll make you proud. Tao Zi, let's go back."
"Eiko, wait."
Huang Zhitao grabbed Qiao Yingzi and asked Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, you came fourth in the exam this time. According to Teacher Li's regulations, you can already enter the sprint class."
Zhou Chen waved his hand and said: "That's not necessary, I will stay in the basic class and not go anywhere."
"You are really, forget it, do whatever you want."
Huang Zhitao didn't know what to say. Others were trying hard to get into the sprint class, but Zhou Chen was better off. His grades were enough, but he didn't want to get into the sprint class at all.
"But if you don't leave, my uncle will definitely be very happy."
There is a student in the basic class who is ranked fourth in grade. As the class teacher, Pan Shuai will definitely be happy.
Zhou Chen didn't care about anything else and kept blinking at Qiao Yingzi. Qiao Yingzi was so amused that she quickly pulled Huang Zhitao away.
The bet between the two not long ago was still fresh in Qiao Yingzi's memory. It was a bet that she thought was sure to win, but she didn't expect that it would turn out like this in the end.
She was Qiao Yingzi, a top student. She was caught up by Zhou Chen while she was just taking a nap, causing the bet to fail.
It's not that she wants to regret it, but she's afraid that if Zhou Chen brings this up in public and asks her to do something embarrassing again, then she will really be embarrassed.
So before Zhou Chen made the request, she thought it would be best to leave quickly.
Zhou Chen was just teasing Qiao Yingzi, how could he really do anything to her?
Because Zhou Chen passed the fourth grade exam, it caused a sensation in the entire basic class. All the students in the basic class surrounded him excitedly and chattered non-stop.
In the next two days, Zhou Chen seemed to become a celebrity in the third grade of high school. Everyone from teachers to students would pay attention and salute after seeing him. Many people even pointed at him, which made Zhou Chen impatient.
Try to avoid those people.
In the past two days after school, Qiao Yingzi has been avoiding Zhou Chen. Tonight, Zhou Chen finally stopped Qiao Yingzi in the stairwell of the community.
"Yingzi, you have been avoiding me for two days, are you planning to avoid me forever?"
Qiao Yingzi looked embarrassed: "No way, it's mainly because I've been busy studying recently and didn't notice you. Besides, why should I avoid you? I haven't done anything wrong."
Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "If someone doesn't want to fulfill the bet, does that mean he has done something wrong?"
"Who, who didn't honor the bet?"
Qiao Yingzi frowned and refused to admit what she had done.
"Well, since you still accept this bet, then according to the bet, I will win. I can make a request to you, okay?"
When Qiao Yingzi heard this, she immediately became nervous.
"You, Zhou Chen, what demands do you want to make? I'm warning you, don't go too far."
Zhou Chen spread his hands: "I didn't even say what I wanted, and you warned me. Are you really that afraid of me?"
"I'm not afraid of you, I'm afraid that you will be out of tune and make random demands."
Zhou Chen looked at Qiao Yingzi's nervous and worried expression, which was so cute that he wanted to laugh, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek.
"Ah, what are you doing?"
"Don't be so nervous. I didn't say I would make a request now. In order not to scare you, I will save this bet for the time being and wait until I think about it later before I make a request to you."
Qiao Yingzi breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what requests Zhou Chen might make in the future, at least she was safe for the time being.
"Let's go home, or your mother will look for you everywhere again."
It was another Friday, and Fang Yifan happily sat next to Zhou Chen.
"Zhou Chen, are you free on the weekend?"
"What, is there anything wrong on the weekend?"
"My dad wants to invite you to our house for dinner on the weekend, so I asked if you have time."
"Would you like to go to your house for dinner? Yes, you can just call me then and I will be there right downstairs."
"As long as you agree, there's no need to make a phone call then. I'll go directly upstairs to find you and call Yingzi as well."
"OK."
Fang Yifan invited him to dinner. Zhou Chen knew that it was not just about eating. If his guess was correct, it should be that Fang Yuan wanted to talk to him about work.
After watching the TV series, he clearly understood how difficult it was for Fangyuan to find a job.
I lost my job not long after I started my senior year of high school. Until I graduated from high school, I still hadn't found a suitable job. I just took some casual jobs. Whether I made money or not is another matter, but the level of hard work was definitely very high.
It has been two months since he lost his job. Fangyuan must have experienced too many rejections, so he invited him to dinner.
But this is exactly what he wants. He has a good impression of the warm-hearted Fangyuan, and Fangyuan has helped him. If Fangyuan is willing, he will definitely help him make arrangements.
In fact, in addition to his own trading company, Fangyuan can also be arranged to work in his uncle's law firm.
If you just go to a law firm, Fangyuan does not have a lawyer's license. If you start as an assistant and gradually get certified, it will take time and the salary will not be high.
Therefore, it is better to continue doing his old job, which is most suitable for a man like Fangyuan who does not have much ambition.
At noon on Saturday, Zhou Chen was dragged to his home by Fang Yifan, along with Qiao Yingzi.
What made Zhou Chen relieved was that Song Qian, who was hostile to him, did not go to Fang's house for dinner with them because she had a cram school class today. Otherwise, it would be really difficult for Zhou Chen to adapt to sitting at the same table with her.
Fangyuan and Tong Wenjie cooked a large table of delicious food today. Although it was not as good as a five-star chef, it was full of home-cooked taste and made Zhou Chen feel very warm, a bit like his home in the real world.
After dinner, Fang Yuan asked Fang Yifan to take Lei'er and Qiao Yingzi to play, while he took Zhou Chen to sit on the sofa and started chatting.
"Zhou Chen, um, well, I thought about it carefully about what you told me last time, and I think..."
Seeing Fangyuan's hesitant expression, Tong Wenjie, who was washing the dishes at the side, was extremely anxious. The couple had already discussed and planned to take Zhou Chen's route.
After all, the reality they need to face now is the life of a family of four. Tong Wenjie's salary alone cannot support them at all. They can't just sit there and have nothing.
So in order to find a job, they want to give it a try even if they ask a junior.
Zhou Chen was no ordinary young man. He understood immediately when he heard Fangyuan's words.
"That's great. Uncle Fang, do you mean that you are willing to jump to my company to help?"
Seeing Zhou Chen take the initiative to talk about it, Fangyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled and said: "Help is not considered a help, and I am not a young man, but when it comes to legal matters, I am definitely a professional."
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Of course I believe in your business ability, Uncle Fang. Talents like you are what our company is most in need of. Well, this kind of thing should happen sooner rather than later. If Uncle Fang has time in the afternoon, you can follow me."
Let’s go to the company to have a look. After looking at it, if you are satisfied with our company, we can arrange a job for you next week.”
Things went so smoothly that Fang Yuan was caught off guard. He asked, "Will you go in the afternoon? Will it delay your work?"
"No, Fang Zheng, I'm planning to go out in the afternoon, so I can visit the company."
Although he knew that he had a trading company under his name and knew its size and location, he had never visited it so far.
"That's really troublesome for you, classmate Zhou Chen."
"No trouble, you helped me. Besides, Fang Yifan and I are also classmates and have a good relationship. The most important thing is that it is our honor for a talent like you, Uncle Fang, to join our company."
Fangyuan was a little overwhelmed by Zhou Chen's praise, and secretly guessed in her heart, is my personality charm really so high that I have conquered even Zhou Chen, a rich second generation?
"Fruit, come and eat fruit, Zhou Chen, come and eat fruit."
Seeing that Zhou Chen and Fangyuan were almost done talking, Tong Wenjie immediately brought the prepared fruits over and said with a smile: "Zhou Chen, I heard that you live here alone, and you can come and play more when you have time.
"
"Thank you, auntie. If you have time in the future, I will definitely come and bother you. I just hope that auntie won't find me annoying."
"Haha, how is that possible? If you could come, it would be too late for me to be happy."
"Mom, why didn't you give me the fruit after you got it?"
Fang Yifan led Lin Lei'er and Qiao Yingzi to kill them, grabbed them and started eating them after saying so.
"Zhou Chen, what are you talking about with my dad? Are you talking about crickets and other topics? My dad likes this the most."
"Go away, am I as unbearable as your father as you say?"
