Chapter 124 Finally, I Confess
Zhou Yi declined Feifei's request to add him on WeChat.
He also turned down Wang Yuyan's offer to return the money she owed him after her salary arrived.
To Zhou Yi, spending money for happiness was no different than purchasing a luxury watch—neither the amount nor the method mattered.
The next day, as Zhou Yi returned to school, he noticed a large banner prominently displayed at the entrance:
[Congratulations to Zhou Yi from Class 3 of Visual Communication for Winning First Place in the Mathematical Modeling Competition!]
It was impossible to miss, hung along the main path leading from the gate to the teaching buildings, ensuring nearly every student passing by would see it.
Initially, the banner hadn't included "Class 3 of Visual Communication," but Liu Wei insisted they add it.
Zhou Yi quickly became the talk of the campus. Regardless of what competition came up, the department always submitted his name. Liu Wei couldn't stop grinning whenever he thought about how much bonus he'd earn by year-end thanks to Zhou Yi's national award win.
When Zhou Yi entered the classroom, his classmates swarmed around him with congratulations. He responded politely to each one.
Zhang Wu proudly showed Zhou Yi screenshots of his recent efforts combating online trolls, proving he'd been diligently completing his assigned tasks.
Winning first place in the modeling competition not only boosted Zhou Yi's fan base but also left those who had doubted him thoroughly embarrassed.
