Qiao Jingjing took the camera and tripod and set up the equipment.

She sat on the sofa, looking like an obedient student.

Chen Cheng sat behind the camera, holding a tablet facing her, and began to explain the game from the beginning.

Near noon, Qiao Jingjing's assistant, Little Zhu, arrived carrying a food container.

As soon as Little Zhu entered, it cast a gossipy look.

Qiao Jingjing hurriedly ran over.

Little Zhu looked full of gossip and asked in a low voice, "Jingjing, is this your classmate?"

Qiao Jingjing's face had already flushed red, "Mm."

"Give it to me," she said, taking the food container from Little Zhu's hand.

The two walked to the dining room. Little Zhu went to the kitchen to get some bowls and plates, while Qiao Jingjing opened the food container.

Chen Cheng also stood up and walked over to help Qiao Jingjing unpack the food container.

As soon as Little Zhu walked back, it cast a gossipy look at Chen Cheng.

Qiao Jingjing glared at her, annoyed, "Stop looking. This is Chen Cheng, my high school classmate and desk mate."

Chen Cheng smiled and nodded at Little Zhu, "Hello."

Little Zhu looked at Handsome Chen and felt a bit infatuated, dumbfounded, "Hello."

Chen Cheng shook his head and ignored Little Zhu.

After setting the plates, Little Zhu looked at the two of them suggestively, "Well, you two eat first. I'll leave now; just leave the tableware, and I'll come back to clean it up tonight."

Qiao Jingjing's mouth dropped open, and she glared at her. Doesn't that sound like I'm not capable enough to do it myself?

Little Zhu finally realized and blinked apologetically at Qiao Jingjing.

Being her personal assistant, the two had a good relationship.

Qiao Jingjing took a deep breath.

I'm not angry! I'm not angry!

After Little Zhu left, Qiao Jingjing took drinks from the refrigerator and poured one for Chen Cheng.

She also poured one for herself, "Come, a toast to our reunion as old classmates."

Chen Cheng smiled, "Cheers!"

Seeing his serious expression, Qiao Jingjing smiled.

This meal was takeout Qiao Jingjing ordered from Yu Garden.

The two chatted while eating.

"I feel like you've changed a lot."

Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow, "Really?"

Qiao Jingjing was very sure, "Yes!"

"You were so aloof back then, you wouldn't talk to anyone in class."

"Sometimes you wouldn't even pay attention to the teachers. When the Chinese teacher asked you to put away your physics test paper, you just pushed it aside and walked out with the paper."

Chen Cheng's mouth twitched. In this life, he was just... well... eccentric like that.

Feeling a bit awkward, he said, "I was focused on studying back then and didn't pay attention to those things. As for the Chinese teacher... I was young and immature."

A smile appeared on Qiao Jingjing's lips, "But you didn't fall behind in the college entrance exam, and you did very well."

"I actually think it was a very smart approach, playing to your strengths and avoiding weaknesses."

Chen Cheng shrugged, "Maybe."

Remembering high school, Qiao Jingjing felt a bit puffed up with anger, and her peach-blossom eyes glared, "Exactly, you actually didn't save a seat for me, your desk mate!!!"

Seeing her coquettish look, Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow, "...Is it possible that you didn't say anything to me yourself?"

"Uh..." Qiao Jingjing was stunned.

It seemed she had just taken it for granted that he would save a seat for her.

Qiao Jingjing huffed and rolled her eyes at him, "Hmph! Blockhead."

Chen Cheng suddenly thought of Yu Tu. Yu Tu had changed, and he wondered if the plot had also changed. After thinking for a moment, he tentatively asked:

"Besides, didn't you like Yu Tu back then?"

Huh?

Qiao Jingjing looked up, eyes wide as she looked at him, "I just wanted him to teach me math, okay?"

As she spoke, she huffed and rolled her eyes at Chen Cheng, "Who told my desk mate to study physics during math class, chemistry during physics class, biology during chemistry class, biology again during biology class, and math during both Chinese and English classes?"

"And I couldn't find you during study hall after class."

Chen Cheng's mouth twitched. In this life, he was truly heaven-defying.

Because of the study progress, Chen Cheng spent most of his time self-studying. Back then, the rooftop and the stairwell were his home.

But being able to get into a 985 university through self-study meant he was somewhat gifted.

Chen Cheng smiled sheepishly, raised an eyebrow at Qiao Jingjing, "I did teach you math, you know."

Qiao Jingjing huffed. Since they were desk mates, he definitely must have explained problems to her.

She rested her chin on her hand, looking at Chen Cheng's handsome face, and smiled, "Forget it, I won't hold it against a Blockhead."

Chen Cheng huffed at her, "Qiao Jingjing, it's not nice to give people nicknames."

Qiao Jingjing pursed her lips, rolled her eyes, and while picking up food with her chopsticks, pretended to ask casually: "You're so dense, you must not have a girlfriend, right?"

Chen Cheng immediately disagreed and smiled, "Who said that? You should be asking me how many girlfriends I have."

"I can probably give you an answer tomorrow. I need to count carefully and think about my relationships with beautiful girls."

Hearing this, Qiao Jingjing thought he was bragging, and a smile filled her eyes, "Will it kill you not to brag?"

After saying this, she looked at Chen Cheng with peach-blossom eyes, a slight blush creeping onto her face.

[Ding ~ Qiao Jingjing's favorability + 1]

Chen Cheng was stunned. This works too?

The two chatted while eating. After finishing, they cleaned up the tableware together.

In the afternoon, Chen Cheng began "devilish training" for Qiao Jingjing.

From the day Qiao Jingjing asked him to be her coach, Chen Cheng had studied the current version of the game and developed a detailed training plan.

The most basic part was to play every hero five times.

Starting from the mid-lane, then in order: clash lane, marksman, support, and jungler.

While playing, she also had to be ready for spot checks at any time...

Uh...

Spot checks on hero skills, equipment, and arcana selections.

During the game, she also had to report the cooldowns of the opposing heroes' ultimates and summoner spells.

Chen Cheng would also ask from time to time, "Now tell me, where is the opposing jungler?"

From the very beginning, he instilled in Qiao Jingjing the game awareness of controlling the entire map.

Practicing finger dexterity and mechanics was still too difficult for her at the moment.

That had to be put off for later.

The two played until after eight in the evening, during which time Qiao Jingjing's assistant came to deliver dinner.

After dinner, Chen Cheng had Qiao Jingjing switch accounts and play solo queue.

He was looking at the information summarized for the day.

Just as he was looking at it, his phone rang.

It was a call from Karen.

Chen Cheng frowned and pressed the answer button.

"Boss, there's a situation. Your photo has been put on the cover of Time Magazine."

At the moment he heard the news, Chen Cheng didn't feel the anger he had imagined.

Ever since Company Name was reported on by the Wall Street Journal a few days ago, Chen Cheng had felt that a storm was coming.

Now that the moment had truly arrived, he appeared unusually calm.

He raised his hand to check his watch; it was exactly 9:00 AM Eastern Time.

Chen Cheng smiled, "Is the photo handsome?"

Karen was stunned and nodded, "I think it's very handsome."

"What does the headline say?"

"It's 'Genius or Gambler'? Subtitle — Electric Vehicles or Game Cards."

Pfft~ Chen Cheng was amused to the point of anger and cursed under his breath, calling them uncultured.

This writer was mocking him right from the headline.

They were scrutinizing Chen Cheng with an arrogant attitude, viewing Chen Cheng as just a lucky gambler.

Saying that Chen Cheng heavily invested in Emaar and Yinda because he liked electric toys and electronic games.
