Rebirth of a Top Student's Handbook

Seeing everyone's discussion, Zhou Min realized that Chen Sheng was indeed short of money. Thinking about the Taobao graphic design work she usually outsourced, she couldn't help but send Chen Sheng a private message.

Why are you so eager to make money now?

Although Zhou Min was very angry with Chen Sheng before, her emotions have now completely calmed down. In addition, Chen Sheng took the initiative to apologize, so Zhou Min forgave him. And because of Li Na, their relationship has also improved a lot compared to before.

Zhou Min felt that she could never hate Chen Sheng. Although there was no love left in this life, Zhou Min would always remember the years she and Chen Sheng supported each other in their previous life.

Even after marriage, when love was gradually worn away by the trivialities of life, Chen Sheng remained the most important family member in Zhou Min's heart.

Chen Sheng never hurt Zhou Min; in fact, he gave her a lot of warmth.

In her past life, Zhou's father was a hands-off manager who didn't care about anything, and Zhou's mother complained endlessly every day, always comparing Zhou Min to others.

Zhou Min sometimes felt that she was even less than the village's mentally challenged man. In her mother's eyes, there were always many things more important than Zhou Min. She would rather spend money on her nephews and nieces than on Zhou Min.

Although Zhou's mother explained that it was a matter of social obligation and to maintain the family's reputation, Zhou Min still felt that she was dispensable and unworthy of being loved.

Chen Sheng is a very warm person. During their four years of university, he gradually melted the ice in Zhou Min's heart, allowing her to return from a person full of thorns to her soft self.

It was Chen Sheng who made Zhou Min feel loved and know that someone was willing to give everything for her.

Therefore, when Zhou Min was later pressured by her mother to get married, she still chose to marry Chen Sheng despite her reluctance.

At that time, Zhou Min was still full of hope for the future. She just didn't expect that not only did her family not offer any support, but they also placed high hopes on her.

After all, in the eyes of rural people who have never seen the world, Zhou Min and Chen Sheng both graduated from prestigious universities and must have a bright future. They just need to wait for their children to be filial and for them to enjoy a life of comfort.

As a result, the pressures of buying a house, a car, getting married, and having children completely overwhelmed the two young people who had just graduated.

Zhou Min never hated Chen Sheng; what she hated was herself in that relationship—incompetent and cowardly.

Zhou Min shook her head, trying to pull her thoughts away from her past life.

"I found that I spent too much money in college, especially after I started dating," Chen Sheng replied quickly.

"Is it really that big of a deal? It's just having a meal together at most." Zhou Min knew that in this life, Chen Sheng had been spending money to improve and enrich himself since junior high school, which forced his parents to save money. Their lives were much more comfortable than in his previous life.

“Eating? Eating is nothing. The most outrageous thing is your cosmetics, a set of which can easily cost several thousand yuan.” Chen Sheng complained bitterly about this.

"You didn't buy it, did you?" Although Zhou Min had seen the photos Li Na posted on Tencent QQ Space, she didn't think Chen Sheng had bought them at the time.

After all, although Chen Sheng's family was slightly better off in this life than in the previous one, they still wouldn't give their child this much living expenses. Zhou Min thought Li Na wouldn't really take advantage of Chen Sheng like that, since they were old classmates and both knew each other's financial situation.

In her previous life, Zhou Min never used cosmetics during her university years, and the skincare products she used were all sets costing sixty or seventy yuan, which Chen Sheng still thought was a waste.

Zhou Min didn't want to waste Chen Sheng's money, so she rarely took him shopping. The main reason was that Chen Sheng, who was broke, would get irritable whenever he went shopping, which would lead to arguments and an unpleasant breakup.

Zhou Min bought all her own things herself, and her dates with Chen Sheng were just about strolling around and finding a place to talk.

Although Zhou Min didn't think Li Na would be like her, she probably wouldn't ask Chen Sheng to buy such expensive things.

"What can we do? Shouldn't the boys always pay?" Chen Sheng replied helplessly.

"But it can't be this expensive! This price is simply unaffordable for an ordinary family." Zhou Min couldn't help but get emotional. In Zhou Min's eyes now, Chen Sheng was like her younger brother.

Any girl would be unhappy to see her younger brother being bullied by another girl, even if that girl is her friend.

"She said she has sensitive skin and must use this brand, otherwise she will get spots on her face."

"Bullshit, the spots on her face are hereditary. Her mother has a face full of freckles." Zhou Min's hometown is the same village as Li Na's, so she used to see Li Na's parents often.

"She said that everyone in her dorm uses this brand, what can I do?" Chen Sheng also felt very wronged.

Zhou Min really wanted to say: How did you advise me not to compare myself to others in my past life? How did you make me wash my face with only water when I had a skin allergy?

Because the water quality in the city where the university was located was poor, Zhou Min wanted to buy some bottled water to wash her face, but Chen Sheng stopped her, saying it was making a fuss over nothing, which ultimately resulted in Zhou Min having many acne scars on her face.

"Whatever." Zhou Min got angrier and angrier looking at Chen Sheng's shameless behavior, and decided to just ignore him.

Although Zhou Min no longer has any feelings for Chen Sheng, seeing how Chen Sheng treats Li Na makes her feel sorry for her past self.

It's true what they say: when women are stingy with themselves, men are even stingier. Women, you really need to love yourselves first.

"I have a graphic design job I can do. Do you want to do it? It's 50 yuan per set of images," Zhou Min said after thinking for a moment.

"What graphic design? I don't know how to do that. Can you do it?" Although Chen Sheng had a lot of theoretical knowledge, he had only been using computers for a short time and hadn't used many software programs much.

"It's Taobao graphic design. You know Taobao, right? You know Photoshop, right? It means using Photoshop to make the original images provided by Taobao stores more beautiful, more eye-catching, and to increase sales."

"I know, I'm just not sure if I can do it well?" Chen Sheng was still a little nervous.

"It's okay, I'll send you a set of sample images and a few video tutorials later. Take a look at them. After you finish, send me the finished images. If they're okay, I'll help you get the order."

"Okay, then send it to me." Chen Sheng learned to make requests of his parents at a young age, unlike the rural children of his previous life who were content with just having enough to eat and go to school. He resolutely refused to make any requests to his parents or cause them any trouble. As a result, Chen Sheng's family got internet access early on, even though Chen Sheng only came back to use it for two or three months each year.

However, based on Zhou Min's understanding of Chen's mother, she must only connect to the internet when Chen Sheng comes home, and otherwise disconnects.

Zhou Min went back to her room, took out her USB drive, copied the files, and sent them to Chen Sheng. When she finished, Zhou Min found that her software and games were finally downloaded, and she quickly installed them.

After Zhou Min installed the software and logged into the game, she found that the large screen's visuals were indeed much better, making her small laptop completely incomparable.

As usual, Zhou Min started using the cheat program to level up her character. She had upgraded this cheat program several times, and now it could not only intelligently and automatically fight monsters and level up, but also chat online on its own. No one could tell that it was a cheat program.

Zhou Min wanted to send one to everyone around her, but she was worried about the legal consequences, so she decided to give up.
