The next morning, Bai Xue secretly handed a packet of pepper powder to Zhen Yu. Since yesterday afternoon, so girls in the class had been on guard against Zhen Yu. Because of this, they didn’t dare to go out to the playground to bask in the sun during breaks.
They thought that as long as there was always one of them staying back in the classroom, Zhen Yu wouldn’t dare or have the opportunity to pull anything.
What they didn’t expect was that Zhen Yu would brazenly be absent during the long break!
Naturally, Zhen Yu had asked Bai Xue to ask for leave on her behalf! The excuses were all ready: diarrhea not yet settled, feeling weak all over...
So, as soon as the long break ended, the girls from grade nine class one hurried back to the classroom.
So were worried about retaliation, others were eager to watch the drama unfold.
After searching through desks, chairs, cushions, and pencil cases, and finding no suspicious areas, they fell into a deep self-doubt.
"Zhen Yu did nothing? Impossible! How could she possibly do nothing?"
Then... the ten minutes of the break quickly passed in their reflections!
As the ti for the next class neared, everyone started to prepare the books needed for the upcoming lesson, just like the other girls.
As the sounds of rummaging through school bags started, a chorus of sneezes also began to resound.
When the bell for class rang, several girls were either tearing their notebooks or borrowing tissues from others, with tears and snot running down...
Bai Xue, taking advantage of the cover of the bell, gleefully whispered into Zhen Yu’s ear: "Tsk tsk tsk! Look how miserably they’re crying! Now they know they were wrong! Let’s see if they dare next ti!"
Zhen Yu smiled silently, finding satisfaction in the scene before her.
It’s just that all of their brains are quite clever, why can’t they use it in the right way? All used to figure out how to trick others...
Shouldn’t she quickly think about how to prevent the counterattack from the others now?

Amidst the subtle actions between Zhen Yu and a group of female classmates, Bai Xue solidly established her position as ’top strategist,’ saving Zhen Yu a lot of brain cells.
Even though Zhen Yu knew that the ideas from Bai Xue were probably from Fu Yu.
But Zhen Yu just observed without ntioning it.
Since the last ti she sternly warned him, Fu Yu indeed hadn’t bothered her again.
If he could beco more mature and rational after this, it wouldn’t be necessary for Zhen Yu to treat him like an enemy.
At the very least, they could still greet each other when they t.
Bai Xue’s behavior of giving advice to Zhen Yu was all done behind the scenes! On the surface, it didn’t appear that they collaborated.
Bai Xue didn’t want it this way, but Zhen Yu strongly demanded that she avoids suspicion in class!
Because Zhen Yu didn’t want Bai Xue to be targeted due to association, better fewer than more!
During school, there was a constant struggle of wits. After school, Mr. Han and Mrs. Han were both at ho, and on weekends, Zhen Yu frequently had to commute between Laha Town and Qi City.
Throughout April, Zhen Yu was like a top spinning nonstop, not having a mont of respite.
She hadn’t even noticed that Han Mingyue had gradually been distancing herself from her, no longer as considerate as before.

Taking advantage of the few weekends before Labor Day, Zhen Yu taught the two network managers so basic computer knowledge, so they could handle the upcoming daily operations.
Qi City’s new ho already had a landline installed, and sotis Zhang San and Li Si would call the Han Family to ask Zhen Yu about so things they didn’t quite understand.
After all preparations were made, the Sincere Computer Ga Hall finally opened on Youth Day! The fees were set based on market prices, at three yuan per hour.
Zhen Yu only stayed in the store for a morning, and really, few people ca to play. She took the bus back to town at noon.
As expected, in the evening, Mrs. Zhen called and started complaining the mont she spoke, "The business is so slow on the first day of opening! The seat occupancy rate is not even half! How long will it take to recover the cost at this rate!
Zhen Yu could only comfort her, "It’s like this when you just open! After all, not many people know about it! It will get better gradually!"
Seeing her daughter so confident, Mrs. Zhen had no choice but to tentatively believe her.
But what Mrs. Zhen didn’t know was that Zhen Yu’s plan for the computer ga hall was just to sustain the Zhen Family’s three people’s livelihood!
Her main idea was to use the next one or two years to build the ga hall’s reputation!
To make money, that would still have to wait until the future when it’s transford into an internet cafe...

After the Zhen Family’s business in Qi City got on the right track, Zhen Yu resud her role as a hands-off manager.
It was then that she discovered that she and the girls in her class were no longer "water from different wells do not interfere with each other," as more and more girls participated in the events against her.
The whole ninth grade class seed calm on the surface, but was actually turbulent underneath, and all the classmates were well aware of it.
But for so reason, Han Mingyue, who was the spark of this incident, had never intervened.
At most, he occasionally helped to clean up the ss left by both sides...
Zhen Yu could understand his behavior.
After all, the incident was started because of him, and he probably thought that even saying a word to help her would provoke the girls even more!
However, Snow White truly couldn’t understand!!
Due to Han Mingyue’s neutral attitude, Snow White’s view of him dropped straight down to rock bottom, and she complained about him to Zhen Yu every day.
So, one day during a long break, Zhen Yu was targeted again, and Snow White exploded! Zhen Yu had had enough.
"Xiao Yu! Han Mingyue is too much! Just watching them bully you like this! I say just call a truce! It’s totally not worth it for Han Mingyue!"
Lost in her own thoughts, Zhen Yu replied, "While they are just making small troubles, there is only a thousand days to be a thief, but no thousand days to guard against one, right?"
"I’m talking to you! What thieves? I used to think he was a decent guy! Now it seems, he’s even worse than that rascal Fu Yu!"
Zhen Yu, who was completely not listening to Snow White, said, "It looks like I need to think of a permanent solution! After all, I still have to stay in the class for more than a year..."
Snow White was driven crazy, "Xiao Yu, what are you even talking about! Are you even listening to ?"
Zhen Yu responded with a gesture for silence, "Don’t talk for a mont! Let sort this out! I always feel like there must be a leader among them..."
"Ah!!! Xiao Yu!" Snow White scread in anger, attracting the attention of the whole class.
Who?! Who made the class beauty roar like a lion...
"Hey hey hey!" With such a high decibel, Zhen Yu would have to be deaf to not hear it!
"Don’t be mad! Let’s talk nicely..."
"What’s there to talk about! Are you even listening to what I’m saying?" Snow White was so angry she slamd the table.
"Listen listen listen! Isn’t it okay if I listen now?" Zhen Yu soothed Snow White by grabbing her arm, "Snow White! Queen Bai Xue! Your Majesty! I was wrong, okay...?"
