Rebirth of a Top Student's Handbook

"Zhuang Xian, what do we do now? Netizens online are all speculating that our company hired online trolls." Feng Pinling's voice was urgent and panicked.

In the middle of the night, Zhuang Xian was woken up from his sleep. He rubbed his temples helplessly before saying calmly, "It's okay. Tomorrow morning, we'll have the company's public relations department issue a company statement."

"Should we wait until tomorrow morning? Won't that be too late?" Feng Pinling hesitated.

"No, this matter has nothing to do with us. It's normal that we can't respond in time."

Zhuang Xian, who had just woken up, had a slightly hoarse voice, which made Feng Pinling feel sorry for him as she listened over the phone.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you went to bed so early today. You can continue sleeping!" Feng Pinling's voice was full of gentleness and consideration.

"Ok!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Xian couldn't fall asleep.

The initial reason for creating Zhongchuang Intellectual Property was purely to vent Feng Pinling's anger. Of course, he himself was optimistic about the project, otherwise he wouldn't have invested so much money at once.

What he thought would be an easy task has now turned into a real predicament for him.

Zhuang Xian never expected that Zhou Min would be so difficult to deal with.

Although Feng Pinling made it sound very serious on the phone, Zhuang Xian wasn't worried.

He knew very well that the media company that hired online trolls wouldn't expose him, and they didn't have any substantial evidence.

The speculation among netizens will only last for a couple of days before it all blows away.

Since he couldn't sleep anyway, Zhuang Xian simply changed his clothes and drove to Yu Cheng's club.

During this period, due to the business competition with Huachuang Future, he has even been attending fewer gatherings.

When Zhuang and Xian arrived at the club, it was almost 1 a.m.

As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw three people gathered around the pool table.

Yu Cheng, dressed in a casual tracksuit, was holding a golf club, his eyes fixed intently on the ball on the table.

Shen Ye was leaning against the pool table, casually playing with a ball in his hand, when he heard the door open. He looked up and saw that it was Zhuang Xian. He then smirked and said jokingly, "Oh, a rare guest! Isn't this our young master Zhuang? What, finally decided to withdraw from your business battlefield?"

The events that happened between Zhuang and Xian recently have become a popular joke in their circle.

It's already outrageous enough that a large company would bully a small one, investing hundreds of millions of yuan to suppress a college student.

The result was that not only did they fail to suppress it, they also got themselves into trouble, which is quite ridiculous.

Zhuang Xian glanced at Shen Ye but didn't reply. Instead, he walked straight to the side, picked up his special golf club, bent down, aimed, and struck the ball. His movements were skillful and graceful, a feast for the eyes.

Yu Cheng, who had just finished his round, looked at Zhuang Xian's posture as he prepared to hit the ball again and suddenly said, "Zhuang Xian, your hitting posture is much more elegant than how you handle Huachuang Future's affairs."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ye chuckled as well.

Zhuang Xian's expression remained unchanged, but his wrist twitched slightly. Although the movement was small, this time, the cue stick failed to accurately pocket the ball.

As Zhuang Xian watched the ball roll around the hole and then come out again, his eyes began to darken.

"Sometimes, things aren't as simple as hitting the ball."

"Even when hitting the ball, there are always unknowns."

After Zhuang Xian finished speaking, he got up, put away his cue, and withdrew from the game.

Seeing this, Shen Ye took a bottle of wine from the nearby wine cabinet and joined the conversation while opening it, saying, "Hahaha, Zhuang Xian, I think you've been taking this too seriously lately. He's just a student, it's not that serious."

As Shen Ye spoke, he handed the wine to Zhuang Xian.

Gu Ze frowned slightly upon hearing this. He had been on missions the whole time and was unaware of Zhuang Xian and Zhou Min's affairs.

If he had known about this sooner, he certainly wouldn't have let the two of them escalate to this point.

Thinking of this, Gu Ze put down his golf club, sat down next to Zhuang Xian, and asked seriously, "Zhuang Xian, why did you make such a big fuss this time? Was it for the investment project, or to vent your anger?"

Just as Zhuang Xian was about to answer, he heard Yu Cheng say in a cheeky tone, "Is there even a question? He's furious for a woman!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Ye smiled and said, "Young Master Zhuang is quite a famous figure in our circle now! Every young lady is envious and jealous of that Miss Feng!"

"What a coincidence! Who would have thought that Zhuang Xian's online girlfriend's bullying roommate is our Third Brother's outstanding student!"

Shen Ye burst into laughter after he finished speaking.

He hadn't seen this kind of fun in a long time.

Yu Cheng stole a glance at Gu Ze, and seeing that his expression hadn't changed, he also lowered his head and smiled.

Zhuang Xian has always been a bit of a hypocrite since he was a child. As a comparison, Yu Cheng has always been somewhat dissatisfied with Zhuang Xian's sanctimonious and hypocritical appearance.

Seeing Zhuang Xian get so humiliated this time, Yu Cheng was overjoyed.

Reminded by Shen Ye, Zhuang Xian finally managed to dig out the connection between Gu Ze and Zhou Min from the depths of his memory.

"Third Brother, I..."

Just as Zhuang Xian was about to explain, Gu Ze interrupted him, saying, "Don't listen to their nonsense. I have nothing to do with Zhou Min."

Just as Zhuang Xian was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Gu Ze continued, "But I strongly disagree with your actions this time."

"Although I don't know what your girlfriend said to you, as your brother, I still want to advise you not to get too involved in girls' affairs, and you shouldn't bring these grudges into your work."

Because of Zhou Min, Gu Ze still had some impression of Feng Pinling.

Although he didn't want to gossip about others behind their backs, Gu Ze, as a brother who had grown up together, still didn't want to see Zhuang Xian's poor judgment of character.

No sooner had Gu Ze finished speaking than Yu Cheng chimed in cheekily, "How can that be? Our Young Master Zhuang is a Casanova now."
