Rebirth of a Top Student's Handbook

Upon hearing this, Shen Ye also laughed.

Zhuang Xian, who had been in a relatively calm state of mind, suddenly turned pale after being teased by Yu Cheng and the other man.

He came here today mainly to relieve his feelings about the recent string of bad luck.

Before he could even begin to offer any explanation, Yu Cheng and the other man started making fun of him.

After Yu Cheng and Zhuang Xian exchanged a few more jokes, Shen Ye finally had a change of heart and stopped the conversation when he saw that Zhuang Xian was not responding.

After Yu Cheng and the other man fell silent, the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat subtle.

Zhuang Xian gently swirled the wine glass in his hand, his eyes following the flickering light and shadow of the wine.

Yu Cheng, who had just calmed down a bit, felt uncomfortable again the moment he saw Zhuang Xian's expression.

He made a bet with Zhuang Xian, betting whether Zhuang Xian would continue to be with his online girlfriend after they met in person.

If they get together, Yu Cheng will give Zhuang Xian 10% of the club's shares.

If the two don't end up together, Zhuang Xian will give Yu Cheng 10% of the shares in his newly established Qiandao Navigation Company.

Yu Cheng dared to make this bet with Zhuang Xian because he knew that Zhuang Xian was always arrogant and haughty, and he wouldn't stoop so low for a few billion.

Yu Cheng had long coveted Zhuang Xian's navigation company, so he deliberately proposed this bet when Zhuang Xian was caught up in an online romance.

Yu Cheng knew perfectly well that with Zhuang Xian's taste and personality, it was impossible for him to fall for an ordinary college student.

When Zhuang Xian falls in love online, he may only be attracted to a person he has imagined. His brain automatically idealizes the other person.

Moreover, he had also looked up Feng Pinling's information later. In his eyes, this girl could never be Zhuang Xian's type.

I thought it was a sure win for him, but he ended up getting slapped in the face.

Watching Zhuang and Xian's high-profile "show of affection" during this period, Yu Cheng felt that his heart was more bitter than if he had eaten bitter herbs.

Even now, he suspects that Zhuang Xian's relationship with Feng Pinling is solely for his 10% stake in the club.

Of course, it's also possible that the dealer is stingy and unwilling to give him 10% of the shares in Qiandao Company.

Zhuang Xian is probably doing this to shut him up when he breaks up with that girl named Feng Pinling.

He simply couldn't believe that Zhuang Xian, with his personality, would do something so brainless just because of a girl.

Moreover, the money that Zhuang and Xian earned from their bet was enough for him to keep playing like this.

Yu Cheng became increasingly indignant, and seeing Zhuang Xian's pretentious demeanor, he continued to tease him, "Zhuang the Casanova, how are you planning to respond to the online criticism? Do you want us to give you some advice?"

Yu Cheng spoke casually, but his eyes held a hint of amusement.

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Xian's gaze lingered on Gu Ze's serious face for a moment before turning to look at Yu Cheng and Shen Ye. Their teasing caused a hint of displeasure to flash across Zhuang Xian's brows.

This was the first time Zhuang Xian had ever experienced a defeat in his life.

If he initially approached it casually, as the battle escalated and he invested more and more resources, he became extremely serious about this business war.

Despite his serious commitment, Zhuang Xian was somewhat frustrated that the company had reached this point.

Yu Cheng seemed oblivious to Zhuang Xian's unpleasant expression, and continued to remark to himself, "This Zhou Min is really quite remarkable. A group of students, yet she managed to withstand the pressure from our Young Master Zhuang for so long."

Shen Ye chimed in sarcastically, "You're wrong about that. It's not that they're better; it's just that our Young Master Zhuang wasn't taking it seriously. Otherwise, with the Zhuang family's status in the cultural and media industry, what chance would they have?"

"They've already spent hundreds of millions, and they're still not serious? No wonder they're the banker and the player, we can't compare."

.........

Seeing that Yu Cheng and the other man were going too far, Gu Ze had no choice but to interrupt, saying, "Alright, let's get down to business!"

Seeing that his third brother had spoken, Yu Cheng, though still not quite done laughing, could only reluctantly give up.

Gu Ze sighed softly. He stood up, walked to Zhuang Xian's side, patted him on the shoulder, and his tone became gentle.

“Zhuang Xian, we all know you have your principles, but this time, you really did act too emotionally.”

"Although I don't know much about your business dealings, your actions this time were truly disgraceful and had a very negative impact."

Zhuang Xian fell silent; he knew Gu Ze was telling the truth.

But what others don't know is that this situation wasn't caused by him alone.

Huachuang Future is like a virus; it's so resilient that it not only can't be killed, but it also keeps spreading.

If you compete with it and cannot surpass it, you will only be squeezed out of your living space.

Now, I and Zhongchuang Elite are completely forced into this situation, and we're in a bind.

I have invested nearly one billion yuan and signed cooperation agreements with laboratories and research institutions of major universities in the capital.

If I stop now, I will lose more than just this billion yuan; I will also lose face for myself and the dealer in the entire industry.

Whether it's the banker or the player, neither can afford to lose face.
