Start as a top student after transmigrating.

night.

After being "tortured" by Han Ning'er, Chen Dong returned home, washed up, turned on his computer, and habitually logged into the author's backend. His eyes lit up as soon as he opened it.

The signing ceremony has begun.

As a new author in this world, being able to sign a contract with the first book, which has nearly 30,000 words, is a pretty good start.

Chen Dong added the editor's QQ as instructed, and then prepared to start writing. The editor was definitely asleep at this hour, so the contract matter could only be discussed tomorrow.

Furthermore, there is currently no concept of online contract signing; it can only be done by mail.

……

After school at noon, Chen Dong took Ye Wanwan back to his room after lunch. The first thing he did was to discuss the contract signing with editor Sanwu Jiuqi.

"what?"

After communicating with the editor, Chen Dong was about to shut down his computer when he suddenly noticed Ye Wanwan staring at him with wide eyes as he operated the computer. He quickly covered the screen with his hand.

Ye Wanwan had finished grading the test papers and was preparing for the next tutoring session, but Chen Dong kept fiddling with the computer, and she didn't dare to urge him, so she could only keep watching him.

Only after Chen Dong spoke did she whisper, "Brother Dong, are you... are you still playing?"

"You're kidding me..."

Chen Dong was about to say "Fuck you" when he thought about it, but then he changed his words and said, "I was looking up some information, and I've already finished."

You were chatting, why are you looking up information?

I'm neither blind nor stupid.

But when Ye Wanwan saw Chen Dong turn off the computer, she didn't say anything. She just said "oh" and started tutoring Chen Dong. But Chen Dong stopped her again after only one class period.

"Let's stop here for lunch. I need to go out and take care of some things. You can come with me," Chen Dong said, starting to pack his bag.

"Where are you going?" Ye Wanwan suddenly felt a little nervous, with a hint of worry.

"Hey, you've learned to control me now?" Chen Dong joked.

"No, no..." Ye Wanwan waved her hands repeatedly. She just wanted to tutor him as quickly as possible, and she was worried that he wanted to go out and play.

It's easy to go astray but hard to go back to good ways. If the desire to play rekindles, all the tutoring you've done these past few days will be for nothing.

"I'm going out to mail some things."

Chen Dong could easily see through her thoughts. He gently patted her forehead and teased, "It's time for get out of class to end now, Teacher Ye. You should be my little brother now. Come with Brother Dong."

Ye Wanwan timidly touched her head, but her expression relaxed.

As long as you're not thinking about having fun, it's fine.

……

Chen Dong rode his bike with Ye Wanwan on his back. First, they went to a print shop to get the contract printed, filled in the information, and then had it mailed out by courier before heading to the school.

"Dong-ge, what did you send?" Ye Wanwan asked curiously.

Chen Dong didn't let her see the forms he was filling out, not because he was ashamed, but because he hadn't achieved good enough results yet. He didn't want her to know that he was spending time writing messages, and he didn't want her to know that he was taking the time to write them. If she told Han Ning'er about it...

The two junior teachers had no idea what they would say to him.

We're giving you extra tutoring, and you're going to write a novel?

"That's my secret to getting rich."

Chen Dong didn't elaborate on the topic. After parking the car at the school, he took out two hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to Ye Wanwan. "It's Monday today. This is the tutoring fee for last week."

"Brother Dong, I can't accept this." Ye Wanwan waved her hands repeatedly and stepped back.

From the very beginning, she never intended to charge Chen Dong for tutoring, especially since Chen Dong had helped and supported her on several occasions, so she had no reason to accept the money.

"This is something we agreed on beforehand. Are you looking down on me?" Chen Dong asked, his face stern and somewhat angry.

"That's not how it works."

Suddenly hearing Chen Dong's cold voice, Ye Wanwan was a little scared and anxiously explained, "I tutored Brother Dong voluntarily, I..."

"What do you mean, 'you'? You're going back on your word? Do you not want to tutor me anymore, or do you not want to be my friend anymore?" Chen Dong's voice was cold.

"I didn't~" Ye Wanwan felt wronged and wanted to cry.

Chen Dong didn't want it to be like this either, but this girl was kind and stubborn, and she wouldn't accept it unless he was a little fierce.

"Don't say anything, just take the money. And this time I can give it to you on time, but it depends on the situation later. Most likely it will be after the New Year." Chen Dong grabbed Ye Wanwan's hand and forcibly stuffed the money into her hand.

He only had a few dozen yuan left, and he couldn't afford to pay for tutoring next week. He hadn't even considered asking his parents for money. If the novel went smoothly, it wouldn't be available until at least the end of next month, and his first royalty payment wouldn't be until the month after next at the earliest.

"I..." Ye Wanwan wanted to say something more.

Chen Dong glared at him. "Here you go. You don't want the other students to see us arguing here, do you? If the teacher hears, who knows what they'll say about me."

Ye Wanwan subconsciously lowered her head, glanced around, and then whispered, "Money, there's too much money."

Chen Dong understood that it was already difficult for Ye Wanwan to accept it, and last week was only a few days, not even a full week, so two hundred yuan was a lot of pressure for her.

He smiled slightly, his tone softening, and asked with a smile, "Are we friends?"

"Um."

Ye Wanwan nodded emphatically.

"Isn't it normal for friends to treat each other to meals, just like you bring me steamed buns every day?" Chen Dong said with a smile.

Ye Wanwan understood. She looked up, her face no longer showing any guilt, but instead a smile. "Then, I'll treat you to dinner, as well as Brother Mo, Sister Lina, and Sister Han~"

These are all her friends, and she cares about them a lot.

……

In the afternoon, I had class.

Chen Dong was calmly immersed in his own learning rhythm, but for some reason, the teachers disrupted his rhythm and started calling on him to answer questions.

"Chen Dong, do you know how to do this problem?"

First, the biology teacher looked on with an indescribable anticipation. When Chen Dong answered correctly, he smiled broadly and even boasted about it after returning to his office.

Chen Dong is good; he answered my questions correctly, so it seems he can learn biology.

The chemistry teacher was not convinced and looked for an opportunity to ask Chen Dong about it during class. When Chen Dong answered, he even showed a slightly proud expression on his face.

"Chen Dong has some background in chemistry; who says chemistry majors don't study?"

The pressure ultimately fell on Shuai Chaorong.

He excelled in Chinese, math, and English, and even had a decent grasp of biology and chemistry, subjects that even dogs wouldn't study. If he were completely clueless about physics, he probably wouldn't be able to hold his head up in front of his colleagues in the office.

But he didn't have any classes in the morning or afternoon, so he waited anxiously until evening self-study time to ask Chen Dong a simple question.

He visibly breathed a sigh of relief when he finally got the correct answer from Chen Dong.

In fact, the questions they asked were not difficult at all; they were very basic. They were afraid that Chen Dong would be completely clueless and that it would be difficult for them to accept.

But Chen Dong felt as if this was treating him like a fool, which was quite ridiculous.

"What's going on? Why is Dong Ge being called on to answer questions repeatedly?"

"This is so strange, have the teachers gone mad?"

"The strangest thing is that Dong Ge actually got them all right!"

Even the classmates found it strange, but what happened next was even stranger~
