I'm a senior in high school, and the Emperor Development System has arrived!

Chapter 23 Even a handsome man should maintain a certain level of composure.
Imprisonment, multiple people, humiliation, suspicion, betrayal, and struggle—welcome to City S.

——School
After the two English classes in the morning, everyone in Class 8 of Senior Three felt Chen Zhou's dominance this season.

Of course, some people were envious of Chen Zhou.

During the break, rumors began to circulate in the class, saying that Chen Zhou would stop at nothing to show off.

Some even joked that Chen Zhou had replaced Zhou Mo as the class's number one "strong guy".

Of course, Chen Zhou didn't care about this at all.

After all, he deeply understood a principle:
The school is like a delivery station for newbies, filled with both large and small items. Most of them have labels, but some don't.

Chen Zhou didn't want to pay any attention to those slutty, shameless women who didn't use censorship.

He was looking at the system messages at that moment:

[His Majesty speaks English fluently, astonishing the Imperial Tutor and all the students; Imperial Prestige +50]

[Imperial Might: 270]

The royal prestige that was just spent has been recouped in an instant.

Chen Zhou sighed deeply:

If making money were this easy, that would be great.

Luckily, I'm a millionaire now, so I can relax for a few years after graduation without having to work to earn money.

Otherwise, given the current job market, it's hard to say whether they'll even be able to find a job.

During the long break, sunlight streamed through the windows and into the classroom.

Seeing Chen Zhou sitting alone in his seat, lost in thought, Bai Qianqian hesitated for a moment, then, clutching a book of practice questions tightly in her hands, took small steps to Chen Zhou's side, turned slightly to the side, and asked with a blush:
"Um... could you help me with this question?"

"Okay, I'll take a look."

Chen Zhou took the exercise book, quickly glanced at the questions, and instantly had an idea in his mind.

He patiently explained a few words to Bai Qianqian, and Bai Qianqian's originally furrowed brows gradually relaxed, revealing an expression of understanding on her face.

Chen Zhou said with a smile:

"Actually, your math foundation is not bad, and you remember many knowledge points very well. But math is a subject that emphasizes thinking ability more."

"You can study more examples and build your own subject knowledge system, so that you can quickly find the solution when solving problems."

Bai Qianqian gave a soft "hmm," a troubled look on her face:
"I...I also feel that I've done a lot of practice problems, but my grades just haven't improved."

It's clear that her math scores have always been a source of anxiety for Bai Qianqian; she becomes much less nervous when the topic comes up.

In fact, apart from mathematics, Bai Qianqian's grades in other subjects were quite good.

With a math score of 40 or 50, she was able to raise her total score to the undergraduate admission line, which shows the effort she put in.

If she can improve her math skills, passing the first-tier university entrance exam will be a piece of cake.

After a moment's thought, Chen Zhou offered his suggestion:
"Here's what we'll do: you can start doing practice problems at Lao Shao's pace. If you encounter any problems you don't understand, feel free to ask me. As long as you keep at it, you'll definitely see results."

Bai Qianqian nodded thoughtfully. When she looked up, she found Chen Zhou looking at her. Her cheeks immediately flushed, and she quickly lowered her head, saying:

"Um... thank you, I'll treat you to lunch."

Chen Zhou quickly waved his hand and said:
"No need to be so polite. I feel bad that you've gone to so much trouble."

"No...no, I...I'm really grateful to you."

Bai Qianqian was a little flustered and hurriedly explained.

When students treat each other to meals, it's usually at an inexpensive little shop near the school gate, where the price of a cup of milk tea can be a nice treat.

Thinking this way, Chen Zhou didn't refuse and nodded with a smile:
"Thank you so much, Mr. Bai, for your generosity!"

Seeing that Chen Zhou had agreed, Bai Qianqian finally felt relieved.

Just then, Li Bin returned from playing badminton, plopped down, and exuded a strong smell of sweat.

He casually grabbed two tissues from the next table, wiped his sweat, and asked:
"Elbow, I just played ball with Zhou Mo, and we won four out of seven games. Isn't that amazing?"

Chen Zhou glanced at Li Bin, who was unaware of his falling out with Zhou Mo, and said with a smile:

"You've done a great job. Most people would have jumped off a building long ago if they were beaten like that."

Li Bin, transformed into Master Li from AAA Dayun Heavy Industry, wore a broad smile:

"There's a comic convention on the national highway tonight, are you going?"

Chen Zhou smiled and said:
"You're so economical; I bet you learned how to do calculations in college."

It took Li Bin a while to realize what was happening, and he almost blurted out "Dragon Scale Horse".

But he glanced at Bai Qianqian, swallowed the words he was about to say, and forcibly changed the subject:
"By the way, what did you mean by 'grand' just now?"

Chen Zhou looked at Li Bin with eyes full of concern for people with intellectual disabilities and said:
"President Bai said he would treat me to dinner."

Upon hearing this, Li Bin's face instantly brightened, revealing a hint of joy.

He looked at Bai Qianqian with expectant eyes, rubbing his hands together as he said:
"Mr. Bai, since you've already invited Chen Zhou, why not include me? I've been struggling with math homework lately, and my hair is falling out in clumps. Maybe if I have a 'study-generating meal,' my grades will skyrocket!"

Li Bin was always carefree and irresponsible, and his grades were far below the undergraduate admission line.

In his eyes, Bai Qianqian, whose score hovered around the undergraduate cutoff, could naturally be called a top student. Bai Qianqian chuckled, covering her mouth as she listened to his words, and twisted the hem of her dress as she said:

"Yes... sure, let's all do it together."

Chen Zhou looked at Li Bin's greedy expression and teased him with a smile:
"Weren't you supposed to be eating at home?"

Li Bin spoke with an air of self-righteousness, showing no embarrassment whatsoever, and said in a serious tone:

"We can eat at home anytime, but how can we miss out on a meal hosted by Boss Bai?"

Yan is right.

And so, thanks to Li Bin's shamelessness, what was originally a dinner invitation between Chen Zhou and Bai Qianqian turned into a trip for the three of them.

This was exactly what Chen Zhou wanted to do.

Otherwise, it would feel strange to go out to eat alone with Bai Qianqian, since their relationship isn't that close.

As a leader, one should ultimately maintain a certain level of composure.

The time soon came to noon.

As soon as the school bell rang, Li Bin jumped up like a rabbit and hurriedly called out to Chen Zhou and Bai Qianqian.

"Go, go, go!"

"Level One Combat Readiness!"

He was so eager, you'd think he was the one treating.

Chen Zhou smiled helplessly at Bai Qianqian, then reached out and pressed down on the excited Li Bin, saying with a hint of teasing:

"Is it appropriate for you to be singing and dancing here while Qiuya is getting married?"

Li Bin's smile froze for a moment, and he gave a somewhat embarrassed laugh before turning his gaze to Bai Qianqian.

Bai Qianqian watched this scene and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, saying softly:

"I... let's go."

The three walked out of the school gate side by side, the afternoon sun shining warmly on them.

"Where does Mr. Bai plan to host a banquet for us?"

As soon as he stepped out of the school gate, Li Bin looked around and asked Bai Qianqian with great interest.

Generally speaking, lunchtime is quite rushed, and on weekdays, everyone usually eats near the street in front of the No. 2 Middle School, which is convenient to get to and from.

However, Bai Qianqian lowered her head slightly, nervously twisting her fingers together, and said somewhat anxiously:

"It's... a bit far, we need to... take a taxi there."

"what?"

Chen Zhou and Li Bin exchanged a glance, both revealing a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Chen Zhou pondered for a moment and asked:
"Is there enough time at noon? Let's not become the three of us who are late."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qianqian hurriedly waved her hand and said:
"There's still time...it's not too late."

"Yeah, that's good."

As soon as she finished speaking, a yellow taxi slowly drove past them. Seeing this, Bai Qianqian quickly reached out and waved.

Seeing this, Chen Zhou didn't say anything and got into the car with Li Bin.

The driver rolled down the window for ventilation and asked:
"Where to go?"

"Shang...Shangdelong Seafood Buffet".

Bai Qianqian said to the driver.

Upon hearing this, Li Bin exclaimed in surprise:

"Is this Mr. Bai's request for such a grand occasion?"

Normally, poor students like them are lucky if they can get two meals at the school gate.

When did they become so extravagant as to eat at a seafood buffet?

"Seafood buffet? That must be expensive, right?"

Li Bin asked.

A regular steak buffet costs nearly 100 yuan per person, and this kind of seafood buffet would probably cost at least 200 yuan per person.

Bai Qianqian unconsciously clutched the hem of her clothes, shook her head slightly, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz:
"No...it's okay, I don't need to spend any money to go."

"What?"

Li Bin instantly perked up, staring intently at Bai Qianqian with disbelief on his face. He lowered his voice and asked:
"Mr. Bai, do you have any discount coupon channels? You must share this great opportunity to get something for free with me!"
