My winter break homework was exposed, and I, a vocational school student, am now being snapped up by

"Auntie, you haven't left yet? Aren't you busy with work at the company?"

Lin Chen smiled broadly, appearing completely at ease.

In Meng Lan's view, it was indeed completely different from the past.

Thinking of this, a strange light flashed in Meng Lan's eyes.

"You know why I contacted you, right?"

Looks like it's time for a showdown.

Lin Chen smiled slightly; in fact, he had been looking forward to this moment as well.

"I know."

"Since you know, that's for the best!"

Meng Lan nodded slightly.

"My meaning is the same as before: I will not allow you to be with Xiaoxiao. From now on, stay away from my daughter."

"I'm afraid that's impossible!"

Lin Chen smiled and shook his head.

"Auntie, you should know very well now that with my abilities, unless Xiaoxiao chooses to go abroad, I can't..."

"Otherwise, no matter which university Xiaoxiao goes to in China, I can get in."

"So your insistence on separating us is unrealistic."

Meng Lan's gaze was very unfriendly.

But they had to admit that Lin Chen was right.

But even if Chen Xiaoxiao wanted to go abroad, Chen Cheng would never agree.

"But I can make a promise with you."

Lin Chen smiled at her.

“I know you’re against us, Auntie, for a few reasons.”

"First of all, Xiaoxiao and I are not the same type of people. In the past, I was a poor student, while she was a top student. Being together would only hold her back."

"However, as you've seen, that reason is no longer valid."

"The other one is your daughter, while I was born into an ordinary family. Our family backgrounds are too different."

"But what if I later have a family background no less prestigious than yours?"

"Do you think that's possible?"

Meng Lan snorted coldly.

Although Chen Cheng is just an ordinary university professor, Meng Lan's family background is by no means simple.

Even if Lin Chen is a top student and gets into a prestigious 985 university, he will only ever be a high-level employee.

How could anyone have a family background no less impressive than theirs?

Lin Chen smiled and said, "If I can provide the complete chip design software, do you think I have a chance, Auntie?"

"How can this be?"

Meng Lan shook her head in shock.

It's ridiculous!

A high school student claims he can produce a complete set of chip design software?

"How about we make a deal then?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "If I can produce chip design software someday in the future, then you will acknowledge that I am qualified to be your son-in-law."

"Such an impossible agreement is meaningless!"

"No, I mean what I say!"

Meng Lan's gaze sharpened, and a scene from three years ago suddenly appeared before her eyes.

……

"Lin Chen, thank you for choosing to let go. Although you didn't get into high school this time, if you'd like, I can introduce you to one. Don't worry, I have the connections."

"No need, Auntie, I don't need your charity!"

"I just want to tell you that although you separated me from Chen Xiaoxiao this time, I will go back to her in the future!"

"I always keep my word!"

……

Coming back to her senses from three years ago, Meng Lan gave Lin Chen a serious look.

"Let's talk when you actually produce something!"

"But I won't agree to your plans until then!"

"Then please wait and see!"

Lin Chen bowed slightly, then went downstairs and left.

Watching Lin Chen's retreating figure, Meng Lan remained silent for a while.

A vocational school student managed to achieve the highest score in the entire city.

Could this kid really produce chip design software?

No... even if he's a genius, this is just too much...

However, it was he who proposed the agreement.

If he can actually produce something, she wouldn't mind having a genius son-in-law.

But if all you're doing is spouting nonsense, then don't blame me for breaking you up again!

……

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for achieving the achievement: Never underestimate a young man's potential."

"You've set a goal that seems impossible to others, but you're young, and your future is limitless! As long as you keep moving towards your goal, one day you'll reach the other side of success!"

"Congratulations, host, you have obtained the item: Dream Lab!"

"This is a completely virtual study room that only exists in dreams. You can study in the study room while you sleep. All learning materials can be brought into the dream simply by being touched in reality!"

As soon as Lin Chen left Menglan, a system notification sounded in his mind.

He smiled; it was like a perfect opportunity when he was sleepy.

The system's reward this time is incredibly timely.

If Lin Chen could study even in his sleep, his daily available time would be greatly increased.

Perhaps in less than six months, he will be able to trigger the conditions for redeeming the new patent ahead of schedule.

Being able to redeem in advance does not necessarily mean you have enough academic points.

But can't he do more with the time he saves?

Because the new item can only be used while sleeping.

Lin Chen wasn't too concerned about it at the moment.

He walked straight to the cafeteria, intending to meet up with Chen Xiaoxiao.

It was lunchtime by then.

Although he hadn't made plans with Chen Xiaoxiao, he knew she would probably be waiting for him in the cafeteria.

Don't ask why.

The answer is the tacit understanding between top students.

But just as Lin Chen stepped out of the teaching building, a scream suddenly rang out beside him.

"It's Lin Chen! You're so handsome!"

A bold girl suddenly shouted something at Lin Chen.

It startled him.

What just happened?

Then, Lin Chen noticed more girls passing by pointing and whispering about him.

"That's Lin Chen, the top student?"

"I never noticed before, but now I realize how handsome Lin Chen is!"

"Yes, I think his eyes are full of wisdom!"

"I heard that Class One's average score improved so much this time entirely thanks to Lin Chen's guidance! I wish Lin Chen were in our class!"

"There's no hope of switching shifts, but maybe I can get Lin Chen to be my boyfriend?"

"Huh? You? Forget it. Don't you know that Lin Chen and Chen Xiaoxiao are a couple?"

"What's wrong with Chen Xiaoxiao now? Although she might not be as smart as me, I have things she doesn't!"

"What? You have her but she doesn't?"

"I have an E! You all just watch!"

At this point, the girl with an E suffix boldly walked towards Lin Chen.

"Hello, Lin Chen."

These girls were speaking loudly and without any attempt to hide their voices.

Lin Chen naturally heard everything.

His gaze involuntarily drifted down to the area below the girl's neck.

It really does seem to be an E...

The girl felt Lin Chen's gaze, immediately straightened her back proudly, and stretched out her hand.

"Lin Chen, I am Zhang Yifei from Class 4 of Senior Three. I hope to get to know you."

"Hello, I'm Lin Chen."

Lin Chen couldn't refuse, so he gently shook hands and then let go.

Zhang Yifei wrinkled her nose slightly.

It's a rare opportunity to hold her hand, so why can't the man in front of her hold it a little longer?

"Lin Chen, can I come to Class 1 to find you from now on?"

"What are you looking for me for?"

"We can chat together, and we can play together after class."

Zhang Yifei looked at Lin Chen with anticipation.

Although she cannot compare to Chen Xiaoxiao's status as a campus goddess.

But in Class Four, she was at least the class beauty, and no man had ever rejected her.

Okay, now there's one.

"Sorry, I'm busy."

"Why... why?"

Lin Chen glanced at it and said, "Because E is too big, I can't handle it."

Zhang Yifei's smile instantly froze.
