Chapter 941: Chapter 939: A Mom Who Always Dreams of Striking It Rich
This is also a kind of honor. If it weren’t for the fear that publicizing it would affect students’ studies by making them all want to play games, the school would have wanted to put up a banner. But after some thought, they decided against it, fearing that good intentions might turn into something bad.
Returning means facing exams, but Ah Chen is not the least bit anxious.
Jian Mo and the others aren’t worried either. Despite their long leave, 997 ensured they attended all necessary classes, and they never missed a day of homework.
A coach is a coach, always arranging their schedules clearly. No one can escape.
After Ah Chen returned, she noticed Pei Chen’s occasional scrutinizing gaze.
It seems he is secretly competing with her. Very well.
[How is Wei Lilan doing?] Ah Chen asked 997. She wasn’t very clear about Wei Lilan’s situation at that school, having been busy preparing for the competition and unaware of the aftermath.
[Actually, Wei Lilan hasn’t been in that school for more than two years, so she wasn’t much involved. After some detention and investigation, she was released.] 997 said, [However, with her situation, any company doing a background check wouldn’t employ her, let alone schools. Even though the matter didn’t escalate to the school, it doesn’t mean people who know her aren’t aware of it.]
The reason it didn’t escalate to the school is because those on Ah Chen’s side didn’t want Xie Musheng caught in a media storm, otherwise it wouldn’t have been so easy.
[With Wei Lilan’s character, Pei Chen’s days probably won’t be easy.]
[By the way, host, Xu Yue and his gang have been caught. A lot of money has already been spent, and now it’s just slowly being recouped.] 997 reminded.
Even if they manage to get some back, it’s unlikely to be much.
Other victims might be reimbursed a bit, but someone like Liang Xuefang, who actively pulled people into investing and was close to Xu Yue—it’s obvious she’d face ongoing trouble.
The interval was actually quite short, but gangs like Xu Yue’s, once they got the money, quickly retreated. Initially, they hid well and even considered going abroad, but Ah Chen had long prepared 997 to ensure Xu Yue lost the chance to leave the country, forcing him to hide and find opportunities to spend the money.
Now, what’s waiting for them is imprisonment, and Ah Chen doesn’t need to pay attention anymore.
As for how Liang Xuefang is doing, she really doesn’t know. An Shuo Hai didn’t mention it, and she hasn’t actively looked into it.
As the monthly exams arrive, they pose no challenge to Ah Chen.
The others’ grades haven’t been affected by the competition either, which satisfies Ah Chen.
When the scores came out, Ah Chen had only lost one point. Her homeroom teacher and subject teachers were ecstatic; indeed, Ah Chen didn’t fool them, she truly achieved it.
"Teacher, from now on when I need to take leave, it shouldn’t require my parents to come in person, should it? I can guarantee that no matter how many leaves I take, even if I don’t come to school, I can maintain this level in the exams," Ah Chen said with her eyes gleaming.
Zhang Fengya and the subject teachers shook their heads speechlessly, but they now understand the game tournaments, aware that they will take quite a few leaves each semester.
Given how popular the game is and how many tournaments there are each year.
When it doesn’t affect their studies, what can anyone say?
Actually, being able to compete and still maintain their studies is a positive influence.
As a result, when Zhang Fengya caught someone gaming in an internet café, she lectured, "If you can be like Jian Mo and the others, keeping your grades while gaming, I won’t stop you. I’d even buy you a computer at my own expense. Can you do that?"
The caught student trembled and shook his head repeatedly, knowing he couldn’t possibly do it, as he’s not a monster like Ah Chen and Jian Mo.
What regular person participates in gaming tournaments and still keeps up with school?
Previously, the official account had released some behind-the-scenes clips for promotional purposes, and it turns out that in between training, they attend online classes and do homework.
It’s not just the team members like Jian Mo, even the coach Ah Chen does the same.
When the officials discovered Ah Chen was still the top of her grade, and could maintain this level despite taking leave, they vigorously promoted her, giving her plenty of exposure.
Of course, they didn’t forget Jian Mo, who is the grade’s second.
Remember watching the behind-the-scenes footage that day, seeing the full-screen of comments expressing shock, even haters saying they didn’t know how to criticize, resorting to calling them prodigies, challenging ordinary people on how to compete with them?
What outsiders don’t know is that coaches within the industry find Ah Chen terrifying. Which coach manages a team while maintaining top grades in school?
Such a person would succeed no matter what she does!
This makes those who are addicted to games and competitions, neglecting studies, feel embarrassed.
Actually, fans also want Jian Mo and others to livestream, but they’ve been too busy lately, saying they’ll consider it when they’re free, probably having more time during vacations, and then they can livestream their gaming sessions.
Jian Mo said earnestly he could even livestream while doing homework, leaving fans speechless.
Currently, they occasionally arrange for daily clips to be posted on the official accounts.
Being in this field and liked by so many people, they naturally have to take it seriously, performing as needed.
After all, it’s their dream and their career.
Pei Chen looked at Ah Chen’s ranking and scores, hardly daring to believe it.
Even though she took leave, how did her grades not drop at all?
He also learned about those competitions, which are quite busy every day. How does she manage both? Is she really a genius?
Not only Ah Chen, but Jian Mo is firmly the grade’s second, ten points ahead of him.
When Ah Chen and Jian Mo weren’t at school, Pei Chen might not always take first, but he certainly maintained second place.
When the two returned, he fell to fourth in the grade.
"Have the monthly exam results come out?" Wei Lilan asked, "How did you do?"
Pei Chen replied blandly, "Okay."
But Wei Lilan can’t be placated by a few words, she always wants to see the report card.
Seeing Pei Chen ranked fourth on the report, her expression turned sour. Looking up, she saw two familiar names. Surprisingly, she didn’t blame Pei Chen.
"Chenchen, you must study hard, don’t disappoint your mom, okay? No matter how great some people are, it’s not forever. Arrogance might cause them to fall someday. As long as you do your best and keep improving, you’ll eventually surpass them!" Wei Lilan intensely stared at Ah Chen and Jian Mo’s names, as if not hating them was impossible.
But she already knows how formidable these two kids are, neither to be trifled with.
Because of Jian Mo, the principal of "Youde School" went to jail.
Originally, working there as a teacher was high-paying, and she liked it very much. There were many unruly kids, and through the teachers’ guidance, they’d gradually behave well, which she enjoyed greatly.
But because of Jian Mo and Ah Chen, she lost that job.
Later when seeking other jobs, any slightly larger company would say she’s not suitable, clearly affected by the incident.
