Chapter 108: Champion Storm
In this competition, Rong Yuan ranked first with a perfect score, and he was also the only one to get a perfect score. Ni Zihao and another contestant from Nut Country tied for second place. Gan Zheng ranked seventh, Yu Yizhuo ranked ninth, and all four won gold medals. But the same gold medal has different gold content. Because Ni Zihao was booked in advance by a large company that ranks among the top 500 in the world, Ni Zihao's mother thinks he is more successful than anyone else.
Rong Yuan didn't care about her boasting. What he cared about was the name of the Maizi family.
Since Rong Yuan regarded the Maizi family as his invisible enemy, he also asked Wandou to collect a lot of information about this family from the Internet. This is a new family that has only risen in the past hundred years. No matter how simple, hardworking, and smart they are described in official propaganda, it cannot cover up one fact - the Maizi family actually rose with the help of the war that swept the entire world a hundred years ago. Their wealth is built on blood and fire. Arms, energy, banks, food, medicine, cars, drugs... Any profitable business has their shadow, no matter whether it is legal or not. Even now, many businesses of the Maizi family are still not visible to the public.
The attack by Xiao Xiao and others a few months ago killed nine out of ten members of the Maizi family, causing heavy losses, but it did not harm their foundation. Moreover, several ambitious young people who might have needed more than ten years or even decades to succeed were given the right to speak, which put them on a stronger path of development.
Rong Yuan felt that although the Maizi family had found Ni Zihao and avoided him, the possibility that they found him related to the Book of Merit was very low. There were many winners in history who were smarter and younger than him. Some could win the gold medal of such an award at the age of eleven or twelve, and some could get full marks for many consecutive times. Compared with them, Rong Yuan seemed to be just an ordinary genius who was relatively smart. Even if his grades were different from Ni Zihao's, the difference of one or half a point could not explain how much difference there was between their abilities. If he were to conduct some secret research, he would choose Ni Zihao instead of himself. The reason is simple: Ni Zihao is the type that is easy to control at first glance. He has no ambition and no strong desire. As long as he is given a math problem, a pen and a piece of paper, he can study day and night without moving. Rong Yuan is different. Just looking at his eyes, you can tell that he is unruly. Those who try to control him will be backfired if they are not careful.
…
On the afternoon of the day after the award ceremony, Rong Yuan flew to Yn City in Nut Country to participate in the International Physics Competition. The other three stayed in Tea Country. When the team leader bought the plane tickets, he deliberately postponed the time by two days so that they could relax and travel after the exam.
At this time, the news that Rong Yuan won the first place in the total score had already spread back to China. A City No. 1 Middle School immediately hung up a new banner, which gave Rong Yuan and No. 1 Middle School a strong sense of presence in the city. The media also heard the news. Although they could not find Rong Yuan for the time being, reporters could interview his alma mater, teachers, and classmates with their cameras. In fact, if someone published some negative news at this time, they would definitely be accused of "jealousy" and "sour grapes". Therefore, all the interviews were one-sided praise. Some people even made up some inspirational stories for Rong Yuan, such as studying late every night, hanging his head on the beam and piercing his legs with a needle, studying hard and asking questions, and enthusiastically helping classmates. The story that he had worked part-time at the railway station and accidentally caught a thief during that time was also brought out and talked about again and again, all of which became evidence of how excellent, strong, kind, and both civil and military Rong Yuan is now.
But there is a slightly discordant note in this, and that is Rong Yuan's family.
The reporters were just doing their routine work, and they didn't want to dig out the privacy of Rong Yuan's ancestors like they did with many celebrities. It's just that the parents must be very proud of such a young genius in their family, right? Even if others don't say anything, they will definitely want to show off. This is human nature. At the same time, any family with children will definitely want to learn about their parenting experience. Therefore, interviewing Rong Yuan's family is a necessary process. In the process, they discovered something unexpected - Rong Yuan has no family.
The reporter found Rong Yuan's home according to the address he left at school, but found that the door was locked. After waiting for a long time, his family did not show up. After asking neighbors and former teachers, we learned that Rong Yuan lived with an elderly uncle when he was a child. After the uncle passed away, he has been living alone since he was thirteen years old, and no other relatives have visited him.
The reporter followed the clues and found Rong Lixin. When he asked for an interview, he was not only kicked out but also verbally threatened and warned.
If it were a normal tabloid reporter, he might be scared off by a director of the Justice Bureau, but this time the reporter was interviewing the largest and most powerful provincial TV station in City A, whose technology, influence and popularity were second only to the national TV station in City B. Rong Lixin spoke nonsense without knowing the background and drove the other party out as a third-rate tabloid reporter. This arrogant and ignorant attitude was broadcast on the news channel that night, with only his face blurred. In fact, anyone who knew him knew who he was.
Rong Lixin instantly became famous throughout City A.
Not to mention his situation in official circles and in his family, originally citizens and reporters all thought that Rong Yuan was Rong Lixin's illegitimate son. As a result, Rong Lixin was surrounded and blocked by a bunch of reporters and his microphone was almost poked in the nose. He became furious and blurted out that Rong Yuan was not actually his son, and he was just taking the blame for someone else.
The audience was suddenly shocked.
One was shocked at Rong Lixin's ruthlessness. Even if Rong Yuan was not his son, he was still a blood relative. As a nominal guardian, he didn't care about it. His attitude also revealed that he treated a child who couldn't be better as a thorn in his side. He didn't have the appreciation and love of an elder for the younger generation. How could it not be shocking?
One is to raise questions: Who is Rong Yuan's biological father? Who could let Rong Lixin, who is at least a state official, take the blame for him?
Rong Licheng was dug out, and this news was even more shocking than Rong Yuan's full score for first place in the world.
Who is Rong Licheng? He has been named one of the top ten outstanding young people in China, the most influential new figure in enterprise reform in China, one of the top ten economic talents in China, and the youngest member of the Senate of China. He is also the chairman and president of Rong's Enterprise. Rong's Enterprise is one of the top ten private enterprises in the southeast of China. He is young and promising, and is an idol worshipped by many young people in China.
Such a person, his son - the eldest son, was left alone in an old house of less than 80 square meters? You know, this child is healthy and has no disasters. Although his birth may be a little shameful, he has no faults. Even if there are faults, they were made by Rong Licheng. This child is extremely smart, kind and upright, why was he abandoned so ruthlessly?
Public opinion was overwhelming, causing a huge uproar.
…
The old house of the Rong family was built in an antique style, with pavilions and terraces arranged in an orderly manner, and the corridors with flying eaves are transparent and generous. There are also rockery and winding water, and flowers and ravines. Even the air seems to be one or two points fresher than other places. There is also an artificial lake in the garden, in which many lotus flowers are planted. Large patches of green leaves are floating on the lake, and tender pink and white flowers stand gracefully in the middle. A chubby boy fell asleep on the stone platform by the lake, his mouth wide open, and a string of transparent liquid flowed down from his mouth, flowing in a long string. He held one hand loosely, and the other hand was on his stomach. With his breathing, his stomach rose and fell.
"How dare you say that!" The old man roared like a bell, scaring the fat boy awake. He quickly got up from the stone platform, looked around in panic, and found that it was not him who was being scolded. He wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, tiptoed towards the sound, then lay under the window and looked inside secretly.
Grandfather Rong Guanghuai slammed the table and yelled, "I told you to bring him back long ago! I told you to bring him back long ago! Look at what you have done? You only know how to use official business to evade me! Now it's good! It's what you wanted! The whole world knows that he is your son! Is this what you want?"
Rong Licheng reluctantly said in defense: "The child himself didn't want to come back..."
"If he doesn't want you to tie him back?" Rong Guanghuai angrily scolded, "If you really used your pig brain to think of a solution, would your reputation still be so bad now?"
Rong Licheng remained silent.
Rong Guanghuai turned around twice angrily and cursed again: "Look at you, you are too soft-hearted! If you really don't want him to come back, you should break his legs and not let him participate in that competition! It is better to bully an old man than a poor young man - if you bully him, you have to suppress him and make him never fly in his life! Aren't you very good at dealing with those rivals in the business world? If you use one tenth or one twelfth of your methods, can Monkey King still fly out of the Five Finger Mountain of Tathagata Buddha?"
Rong Licheng frowned upon hearing this and said dissatisfiedly: "Dad, no matter what, he is still my son!"
Rong Guanghuai sneered: "Have you ever treated him as your son?"
Rong Licheng was speechless for a moment. After a moment, he said stiffly: "This is my business, Dad, don't worry about it, I will take care of it."
The fat boy outside the window listened to the argument between the two people inside. He looked confused, and a bit of childish sadness appeared on his round face.
…
"Is there such a thing?" Rong Yuan received a call from Jin Yang as soon as he got off the plane. In order to avoid harassment, he set his phone to only receive calls from a few specific people, such as the leader of the competition and Jin Yang.
"What do you think?" Jin Yang asked. He had just informed Rong Yuan about his recent life experience and said, "I think they will come after you as soon as you come back."
"It's my loss if I waste ." Rong Yuan said, "Don't worry about it. It's time for the final exam, right?"
"Well, the exams are from next Monday to next Wednesday. What's wrong?" Jin Yang asked. Rong Yuan was competing abroad, so he definitely couldn't make it in time for something as trivial as a final exam.
Rong Yuan said: "After the exam, I would like to ask you to do me a favor."
