Chapter 85: Chapter 0085: No One Will Praise You for Biting a Dog

Qin Mei stared at the scores displayed on her computer screen, taking a while to process them.

Chu Feng had told her earlier that he could become the top scorer of the state exam, but Qin Mei had thought it was just a joke. However, the scores in front of her now were unmistakably telling Qin Mei that Chu Feng must be the top scorer this time, and his score was indeed terrifying.

Out of a total of 750 points, Chu Feng scored 735. This meant that aside from deductions for essays in English and Chinese, he had perfect scores in everything else.

Chu Feng’s phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw it was a call from Xiao Pang.

As soon as Chu Feng answered the call, before he could even speak, he heard Xiao Pang’s exaggerated voice from the other end, "Boss, you really know how to keep a low profile. To think you scored such an outrageous mark. You’re not only this year’s top scorer, you’ve broken Huaxia’s record for the highest score ever since the reform of the state exam. The school’s gone wild about it. All sorts of media want to interview you, the unprecedented top scorer. You’d better get over to the school quickly."

Upon hearing that reporters were present, Chu Feng frowned. He didn’t want to be exposed, especially not now, because he had secrets. If they were exposed, it would attract a lot of unwanted attention.

Chu Feng said, "I’m not going to the school. How did you do on the exams?"

Xiao Pang chuckled, "I performed well on the spot. The multiple-choice questions I guessed on all turned out to be correct. Barely made it to the cutoff for East River University."

After a pause, Xiao Pang said, "Are you really not coming? Aside from the reporters, there are quite a few health product companies ready to have you endorse them."

Chu Feng replied, "I’m really not going. I’m not interested in those things."

Xiao Pang said, "Alright then. But you have to come to the student gathering tonight. You missed the last farewell dinner, and this time you must come. Everyone is waiting to see our top scholar."

Chu Feng responded, "Okay! I’ll definitely be there. Where and what time?"

Xiao Pang informed, "Eight o’clock tonight, at Wangjiang Building."

Chu Feng nodded, "No problem."

Because Chu Feng had become the top scorer, the breakfast that day was exceptionally generous.

After breakfast, Chu Feng accompanied Qin Mei to look at shopfronts, while Cui Jingyan and the other two went straight to the company to continue with company procurement and department setup.

In one day, Chu Feng and Qin Mei visited quite a few shopfronts. However, only two genuinely satisfied Qin Mei, but the rent was a bit too high.

"Sister Mei, if it really doesn’t work out, let’s just buy a shopfront," Chu Feng suggested. "It’s a long-term investment and we won’t have to depend on anyone else."

Qin Mei replied, "But that would make the initial cost too high. Besides, I’m not even sure if the line of business I’ve chosen will be successful or not?"

Chu Feng chuckled, "Sister Yan and the others think it’s a good idea. There’s no way it’s wrong. And Sister Mei, I believe in you, you’ll definitely be successful. As for the money, don’t worry about it."

After hesitating for a while, Qin Mei said, "Alright. Let’s buy a shopfront."

Buying a shopfront was not a small matter, so Qin Mei had to go home and search thoroughly afterward.

Just after seven o’clock in the evening, Chu Feng received another call from Xiao Pang.

Chu Feng hadn’t wanted to go, but Qin Mei had encouraged him, so he got ready and left.

Chu Feng had always been a poor student in class, so he had very few close friends, with only Xiao Pang being one. Thus, for gatherings like this one, Chu Feng would avoid them if possible.

Arriving at Wangjiang Building ten minutes before eight, Chu Feng parked his car and went straight upstairs to the designated private room.

"Brother Top Scholar! You finally made it!" Xiao Pang saw Chu Feng and laughed heartily.

Everyone already knew that Chu Feng had scored the first-ever top score in history. As Chu Feng arrived, all eyes turned towards him.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Chu Feng said, "There was traffic on the way, so I’m a bit late."

"Aren’t there special lanes for buses? How could there be traffic?" Before Chu Feng finished, a disdainful voice piped up.

"What are you talking about, Zhao Kai!" Xiao Pang was immediately enraged upon hearing this.

"Am I wrong? Don’t buses have designated lanes?" Zhao Kai asked unhurriedly in response.

Chu Feng looked toward Zhao Kai, unable to recall any offense he might have given him.

But it didn’t matter anymore, since they had all graduated.

"Xiao Pang, let it go," Chu Feng pulled Chu Feng back and shook his head.

Class 10 of the first year had quite a few students, so they booked a large private room that could fit two tables.

However, the seating arrangement was somewhat deliberate; although everyone knew each other, they each sat with their own groups. Still, the demarcation was somewhat evident.

People like Zhao Kai, who came from better-off families, naturally sat at the so-called main table inside, while people with more average family backgrounds like Chu Feng sat at the table near the entrance.

Chu Feng didn’t mind sitting there; after all, he wasn’t very familiar with everyone else.

Given Xiao Pang’s family background, he should have been at the main table. But because of Chu Feng, he ended up sitting at the table near the entrance.

"Chu Feng, congratulations on becoming the top scholar. It’s not just your honor, but also the honor of our entire first year’s Class 10. Now when we go out, we can boast about having been in the same class as the number one top scholar in history." After everyone sat down, the atmosphere became much more lively, and someone took the initiative to congratulate Chu Feng.

Chu Feng responded with smiles to the congratulations and didn’t refuse anyone who toasted him.

"What good is doing well on a test? We still have to find jobs in the future. My dad’s company, I don’t even know how many top scholars it has. Fellow students, if any of you want to stay and develop your careers in East River, or if you’re looking for a job, you can come to me. We’re classmates after all, and I will undoubtedly help you with all my might!" Zhao Kai spoke loudly and eloquently from the other side of the room, his voice very loud, clearly intending for Chu Feng to hear.

"What the fuck are you saying, Zhao Kai? Believe it or not, I’ll smack you!" Xiao Pang, emotionally charged, stood up and said.

Zhao Kai responded fearlessly, "What does what I say have to do with you? Am I wrong? Or is what I’m saying not the truth? Does the top scholar not need to find a job later?"

Xiao Pang, his face turning purple with anger, was about to get physical, but was pulled back by Chu Feng.

The people at Chu Feng’s table all looked uncomfortable upon hearing Zhao Kai’s words.

But they had to admit, what Zhao Kai said was indeed a reflection of societal reality.

"Everyone, it hasn’t been easy to be classmates for three years. After we finish eating, I’ll treat you all at Tianfu Entertainment City, and I’ll cover all the expenses." Zhao Kai provocatively glanced at Xiao Pang and announced loudly.

"Great!" The people at Zhao Kai’s table cheered along.

"Brother Top Scholar, you should come along too. I’ve had my dad send a car, so there’s no need to take the bus lane," Zhao Kai said to Chu Feng.

Chu Feng, holding back an angry Xiao Pang, replied with a faint smile, "Since everyone is going, I can’t spoil the fun."

Chu Feng’s agreement left Zhao Kai unsure of how to continue his provocation.

"Why are you holding me back? Let me go punch that bastard. Just because his family has done a couple deals with the Wu Family, he thinks they’re practically nobility. Just looking at him makes me want to smack him," Xiao Pang grumbled indignantly.

After hearing Xiao Pang’s words, Chu Feng began to understand why Zhao Kai was targeting him. It seemed to be connected to the Wu Family.

Because of Zhao Kai’s words, the focus shifted to him. Especially the classmates who were sure to stay in East River were all eagerly toasting Zhao Kai.

Becoming the center of attention made Zhao Kai feel superior, all the while continuing to taunt Chu Feng.

However, Chu Feng simply ignored this low-level provocation.

"Looking at that bastard really makes me want to crack his head open!" Xiao Pang couldn’t ignore it as easily as Chu Feng and was clearly annoyed.

Chu Feng cracked a faint smile and said, "Is it worth it to take someone like that seriously? If the real opponent doesn’t show up and sends a dog instead, do you think people will praise you for fighting bravely with a dog?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Pang burst into laughter and said, "Right! You’re right! Fighting with a running dog certainly wouldn’t earn me any praises for bravery – they’d say I’m just being a tiger!"

"What are you saying, fatty!" Zhao Kai, overhearing Xiao Pang’s intentionally loud remarks, stood up angrily.
