Rebirth of a Top Student's Handbook

"Uh, hehehe, I can definitely afford to treat Professor Gong to dinner alone, but there are twenty or thirty people in the lab, I can't afford that."

After Zhang Kun finished speaking with an awkward laugh, he looked at Zhou Min and said, "This kind of thing can only be left to our kind-hearted entrepreneur, President Zhou. Please, President Zhou."

As Zhang Kun spoke, he even bowed to Zhou Min in a strange manner.

Seeing this, Zhou Min complained irritably, "I told you not to withdraw your shares, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what's happened, you don't even have money to treat people to a meal."

When Zhang Kun was preparing to return to China to pursue a master's degree, he sold all his shares in Future Education to Zhou Min.

Zhou Min initially wanted to buy it at the market price, but Zhang Kun refused.

In Zhang Kun's words, Zhou Min didn't charge him a penny when she gave him the shares, and now he's just returning them to their rightful owner.

Unable to refuse, Zhou Min had no choice but to accept.

Now that Zhou Min heard Zhang Kun say this, she finally found an opportunity to mock him.

"Hehehe, you spoke so grandly back then, now you regret it, don't you? It's a pity that regret is useless, what's done is done."

“But since you’ve said I’m a kind-hearted entrepreneur, I’ll be kind this once.” Zhou Min said, taking a bank card out of her bag and handing it to Zhang Kun.

"Here, the meal card. I'll pay for it, you just do the work. From now on, ordering meals will be your responsibility. You don't mind, right?"

"Absolutely not, thank you, Mr. Zhou."

Zhang Kun didn't stand on ceremony at all. After saying that, he stuffed the card from Zhou Min's hand into his pocket.

"The password is my birthday. Be careful not to lose it." Zhou Min felt a little flustered by Zhang Kun's actions.

The money on this card represents all her savings; it would be terrible if someone picked it up.

"Don't worry, it won't get lost," Zhang Kun said confidently.

Thanks to Zhou Min's financial support, Zhang Kun became much more generous. The food quality in the conference room improved dramatically.

After having several meals in the conference room, Teacher Gong noticed that everyone was quite reserved when she was there, so she quietly stopped participating.

Zhang Kun couldn't bear to let Teacher Gong eat lunch alone, so Zhou Min, Cheng Zhao, and Yang Zixuan were all brought to Teacher Gong's office by Zhang Kun to have lunch with her alone.

A year has passed by in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Zhou Min suddenly received a call from her uncle.

Uncle Zheng was the kindest person to Zhou Min among her mother's relatives. Whether in this life or the previous life, Uncle Zheng had helped Zhou Min a lot when she was in school.

Therefore, Zhou Min still respected Zheng Xiaojiu very much.

Zhou Min was relatively receptive to what Zheng Xiaojiu said.

However, this time, Zhou Min hesitated.

"No need, I'm only 21, there's no rush."

Zhou Min never expected that Zheng Xiaojiu, who was usually not sociable, would actually think of introducing her to someone.

"What? 21? You're already 23 by the Chinese age reckoning. You're old enough to start dating."

"I know about dating, but is there really a need for blind dates?"

Zhou Min thoroughly enjoys her current state, routinely studying, working, and living each day. Everything is in perfect order.

With her classmates and colleagues all being single, Zhou Min had completely forgotten that she was already of marriageable age.

"It's not really a blind date, just an introduction for you two to have a meal together and get to know each other. It just so happens that he's in the capital, so he can help you out if you need anything in the future."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Min couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

That's it again.

In their eyes, she, as a girl, is always the weaker party and always needs help; any man can help her.

They had completely forgotten that they had spent five years studying in the capital and four years running a company.

His company's market value is about to break 100 billion.

I have countless classmates, alumni, colleagues, employees, and business partners here.

What kind of trouble is it that she can't handle on her own and needs a man to help her?

Seeing that Zhou Min remained silent, Zheng Xiaojiu realized that he had not explained himself clearly.

"Go meet him. This guy is one of my students. His family is quite well-off. Both his parents are civil servants, at the department-level. The guy himself is also quite good..."

Zhou Min felt completely overwhelmed listening to Zheng Xiaojiu's rambling.

If it were Zhou's father and mother, she would have refused outright.

However, it wasn't so easy for Uncle Zheng to refuse directly.

After Uncle Zheng finished explaining the boy's family background and Zhou Min's future married life, Zhou Min finally found a chance to chime in.

"Uncle, actually... I already have a boyfriend."

After thinking about it for a moment, Zhou Min decided to solve the problem once and for all.

Anyway, I'm in the capital, so even if they don't believe me, they won't come to see.

At worst, I can just spend the Chinese New Year alone, and when I go home, I can find someone to pretend to be my boyfriend and go back with me.

"Huh? Your mom told me you don't have a boyfriend?" Uncle Zheng was surprised.

“She didn’t know either, I didn’t tell her,” Zhou Min explained naturally.

"Oh, oh." Uncle Zheng was a little confused by Zhou Min's words. After responding twice, he continued to ask, "What's the situation with the man?"

“Our company’s partner, who is engaged in technical research, is also a local from the capital. Both of his parents are university professors.”

Zhou Min decided to exaggerate the man's conditions to avoid Zheng Xiaojiu and his family looking down on him and urging her to switch partners.

The conditions I'm offering now are probably hard to find even within Zheng Xiaojiu's circle.

Zhou Min thought to herself smugly.

"Oh, that's not bad. When are you going to bring her home so we can meet her?"

As a university teacher, Zheng Xiaojiu places great importance on academic qualifications, diplomas, and intelligence.

Upon hearing Zhou Min say that the man was a researcher and that his parents were both university professors, Zheng's uncle was immediately satisfied.

"We'll see. We're both pretty busy with work. I'll take him back when I have time."

......

After chatting about everyday things for a while, the two hung up the phone.

Zhou Min thought the matter was over, but to her surprise, less than a week later, she received a call from her mother.

"What? You're getting ready to board the plane?"

Why didn't you tell me beforehand that you were planning to come?

"Oh? My aunt, my uncle, and my other uncles are all here too?"
