Rebirth of a Top Student's Handbook

Just as Chen Sheng was getting into his speech, a bell suddenly rang.

Chen Sheng glanced at the caller ID on his phone, then looked at Zhang Kun with a slightly conflicted expression.

Seeing this, Zhang Kun also looked over with a puzzled expression.

Chen Sheng opened his mouth, but in the end he patted Zhang Kun on the shoulder and said, "I'm going to pick someone up. You and Sister Min continue chatting."

After Chen Sheng finished speaking, he turned to Zhou Min and said, "Sister Min, I'm going to pick up Li Na now."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Min couldn't help but raise an eyebrow in surprise.

When Chen Sheng looked at Zhang Kun, Zhou Min guessed that Chen Sheng originally wanted to ask Zhang Kun to help him pick up Li Na.

This is not surprising to Zhou Min at all; Chen Sheng has always been like this.

When he has something he wants to do, everything else can be postponed.

But perhaps because he wasn't familiar with Zhang Kun, Chen Sheng ultimately couldn't bring himself to say it.

Although Zhou Min didn't have much contact with Chen Sheng in her life, she felt that she was definitely the one who understood Chen Sheng the most.

That's why Zhou Min was so surprised when Chen Sheng called her "Sister Min".

Although Chen Sheng appears humble and mild-mannered on the surface, he is actually quite arrogant at heart.

Whether in this life or the previous one, Chen Sheng has never humbled himself before anyone except his girlfriend.

There are very few people that Chen Sheng truly cares about from the bottom of his heart, let alone people who would call him by respectful terms like "brother" or "sister".

Zhou Min still remembers that in her previous life, when Chen Sheng had just started working and hadn't yet started his own business, he spent every day complaining about his superiors and colleagues.

He couldn't understand why such a stupid person would become his colleague and boss.

He couldn't understand why his superiors were unwilling to try the solutions he proposed, even though some problems were clearly easy to solve.

He didn't understand why everything had to be done according to old habits, past cases and procedures. Why couldn't there be some new ideas and creativity?

......

Back then, Chen Sheng had endless complaints every day, which he wanted to confide in Zhou Min.

At first, Zhou Min would try to comfort him, but later she got sick of hearing it.

This is one of the reasons why Zhou Min wholeheartedly supported Chen Sheng when he expressed his desire to resign and start his own business.

Zhou Min felt that Chen Sheng's arrogant personality wasn't suited to slowly accumulating seniority in a state-owned enterprise. Rather than letting things drag on and torment both of them, it would be better to let him venture out and try his luck!

Later events proved that both Zhou Min and Chen Sheng made the right choice.

People like Chen Sheng, who are quick-witted, innovative, and like to try new things, are indeed very suitable for entrepreneurship.

Because she knew Chen Sheng, Zhou Min knew that it was extremely difficult for him to call her "Sister Min".

Especially considering that Zhou Min is two years younger than Chen Sheng, the fact that he would call her that basically means that Chen Sheng now truly admires and respects Zhou Min.

.......

Just as Zhou Min was lost in thought, inspired by Chen Sheng, Zhang Kun also prepared to express his opinion.

As a result, when Zhang Kun looked up, he saw that Zhou Min was lost in thought.

When Zhang Kun followed Zhou Min's gaze, he saw Chen Sheng's departing figure.

Turning around, Zhang Kun waved incredulously at Zhou Min and shouted, "Hey! Hey! Wake up, what are you looking at?!"

"Ah?! No, it's nothing!" Zhou Min, regaining her senses, quickly replied with an awkward smile.

"'Nothing'? You still say 'nothing'?! You wouldn't happen to have fallen for him, would you?"

Zhang Kun's expression and tone were extremely serious and stern. An outsider might have mistaken him for a pitiful man betrayed by his girlfriend!

Zhou Min quickly made a shushing gesture, then couldn't help rolling her eyes and saying, "Are you crazy?! What nonsense are you spouting!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Kun didn't back down and lowered his voice to question, "Don't deny it, I just saw you staring at his back and grinning like an idiot."

"You're really something! He has a girlfriend, okay?" Zhou Min said speechlessly, then prepared to continue the previous topic.

Unfortunately, Zhang Kun didn't do as she wished, and continued to press the issue: "Oh! I get it! You have a crush on him! Zhou Min, can't you be a little more sensible?"

Seeing that Zhang Kun was going on and on, Zhou Min retorted without any politeness: "Shut up! Stop acting crazy. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were just jealous of someone else!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Kun shouted as if he had been struck by lightning, "I'm jealous?! You're dreaming! I'm just trying to wake you up because I see you're not doing your job properly."

"How am I neglecting my duties? Are you particularly unhappy because I'm preparing to start a business? If you're unhappy, you don't have to..."

Before Zhou Min could finish speaking, Zhang Kun interrupted her, saying, "Yes, I'm uncomfortable! I don't understand, you clearly have so much potential, why do you spend all your time and energy on this kind of thing? Is money really that important?"

"Important! Of course it's important! Doesn't scientific research cost money?! Without funding, how can we continue scientific research? Just with your clever brain? Don't be naive!" Zhou Min was almost laughing in exasperation at Zhang Kun.

"The government will approve the funding! You're not thinking of earning research funding yourself, are you crazy? How much money would that cost?!" Zhang Kun exclaimed in shock.
