Chapter 85

As final exams drew closer, the study atmosphere on campus grew increasingly intense, with students making a final sprint to achieve good grades. Chén Zhāoyáng and Lín Xiǎotáng were no exception. Every day, they immersed themselves in a sea of books, supervising and encouraging each other as they forged ahead in the ocean of knowledge. Amidst this rigorous academic routine, however, Western Christmas Eve quietly arrived, bringing a touch of festive spirit to the campus. At school, students began passing around the custom of giving apples on Christmas Eve, which symbolized peace and auspiciousness. Once word spread, everyone started discussing what kind of apples to give to their family and friends. Chén Zhāoyáng keenly sensed a business opportunity in this. He figured that since everyone was so interested in Christmas Eve apples, if he could add a creative touch to the packaging, he might just turn a tidy profit. Furthermore, it could serve as a fun experiment for him and Lín Xiǎotáng amidst their busy studies. "Xiǎotáng, did you know? The custom of giving apples on Christmas Eve is really popular at school right now. I think we can seize this opportunity, wrap up some apples, and sell them to our classmates. It's bound to work!" Chén Zhāoyáng said excitedly to Lín Xiǎotáng, a confident gleam in his eyes.
