Chapter 109 Wuli Yuanyuan
For a family like the Rong family, public opinion would not have no impact on them, but it would not have too much of an impact. Within two days, news broke out about several well-known celebrities taking drugs in a group, followed by a well-known figure cheating in public, a female celebrity getting pregnant before marriage, two women fighting for one man, and other scandals. For the public, the attention paid to celebrities is definitely higher than the attention paid to the drama of the rich and powerful fighting in their houses. Soon, under the wave of public opinion offensives, the previously sensational life experience controversy was forgotten by the public.
But this does not mean that the Rong family has returned to peace.
However, Rong Yuan was still in another country, so these rumors had not reached his ears. This year's physics competition was held at YN University . When he walked out of the airport, he saw the people who came to pick him up.
The other contestants and the team leader had already registered at YN University in the morning, and the deputy team leader stayed at the airport to pick up Rong Yuan. He was a taciturn man, and he hardly spoke except when they first met and said hello. Rong Yuan and he had met several times in China, so they were not strangers to each other. However, there was a tall girl next to the deputy team leader whom he did not recognize, so he could not help but take a few more glances.
The girl was about 20 years old, with a face as gentle and graceful as that of a Taiwanese, golden brown eyes, deep facial features, and long curly hair tied up high, which made her look neat and tidy. She wore a gray-blue shirt on her upper body and a pair of slightly darker shorts on her lower body. She had a thin waist and long legs, and wore a pair of white sneakers on her feet. She looked energetic and capable.
The girl raised her hand and said with a smile: "Hello, Rongyuan, I am your translator here, Hilda Gray, you can call me Hilda. As you can see, I am a mixed-race, one-quarter of Tang country blood, so I also have a Tangwen name - Li Ting."
——This is such a simple name in the Tang Kingdom. Rong Yuan looked at her and said, "Hello, Hilda. I don't think I need a translator."
Hilda put her hands on her hips and said, "I'm not only a translator, but also your tour guide during your visit here..." Seeing that Rong Yuan was still intending to refuse, she hurriedly said, "Stop! Don't refuse. This is the committee's rule. The host country must provide each player with an interpreter. And even if you don't want to tour, I can still get my salary. So... do me a favor, ok?"
Rong Yuan had no choice but to nod. When he got closer, he found that the girl was half a head taller than him. Although she looked thin, her skin was tight and her muscles were clear. It was obvious that she was the type who exercised regularly. She had a good physical fitness and walked in a methodical manner. It seemed that she had studied fighting skills for a long time and systematically. According to her, she was very interested in Tangguo's martial arts, but unfortunately there was no authentic learning channel. Later, she learned judo, karate and Sanda, but she didn't practice the latter two for a long time. Only judo continued to practice.
Hilda was very enthusiastic and talkative. Although the other two men in the car, Rong Yuan and the deputy leader, hardly spoke much, she could also talk a lot. She knew the city very well, and any building she saw along the way seemed to have a history. She was also the driver of their car. She was very good at driving. She could hardly feel the bumps when starting and stopping. She changed lanes smoothly on the congested road and brought them to the downstairs of the hotel in a short time.
"Here, this is where you'll be staying for the next few days." Hilda said as she parked the car and threw the car keys to the young valet in charge of parking. Rong Yuan's luggage only consisted of two simple sets of clothes and some personal items, which could fit in his schoolbag, so there was no trouble in carrying the luggage.
After going up a few steps, there was a tall glass revolving door. A blond boy walked out of the revolving door while playing with his phone. He looked up and glanced at a few people. He took two steps forward, then suddenly looked up, turned around to look at Rong Yuan and others who had already walked in, and quickly ran into the revolving door and into the hall.
Rong Yuan was registering at the front desk when he suddenly felt a pair of eyes fixed on him . He turned around and saw that there were not many people in the hall and everyone was minding their own business. It seemed that no one was paying special attention to him.
The blond boy pretended to lean against the pillar in the middle of the hall to play with his phone. When the phone tilted, the figures of Rong Yuan and others appeared on the screen. He saw Rong Yuan turn around and continue to complete the check-in procedures, take the room card, and then leave Hilda's phone number. After that, they said a few more words and said goodbye. Rong Yuan walked towards the elevator alone with his schoolbag on his back. He hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly followed.
The elevator door was very bright and smooth. Rong Yuan saw from the reflection that the young man behind him glanced over here furtively, then walked over pretending to be natural but actually very awkwardly, with the corners of his lips slightly raised and then calmed down.
“Ding Dong!”
The elevator door opened, Rong Yuan walked in first and pressed the button for the 22nd floor. The blond boy pressed the button for the 23rd floor, then stood facing the elevator door, not even looking to the side, looking very serious.
The elevator opened and closed several times, and the number of people in the elevator car gradually increased. The blond boy was squeezed to the innermost part. He watched Rong Yuan go down on the 22nd floor, and when the elevator door closed, he shouted: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Go out!" He squeezed out of the elevator on the 23rd floor and rushed down the stairs, but the corridor was empty.
He turned around angrily, and when he looked back, he saw a person standing quietly against the wall with his arms folded. He was so scared that he took two steps back and blurted out: "Shit!!"
Rong Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is your purpose in following me?"
The blond boy blinked and asked in Nut language, "Can you speak Nut language?" Perhaps he was afraid that Rong Yuan might not understand, so he deliberately slowed down his speech.
So Rong Yuan asked again in Nut Language.
Then he heard a very clichéd sentence, the blond boy asked reservedly: "Do you know who I am?"
——Are you famous?
Rong Yuan's eyes said he "didn't know". The blond boy was a little embarrassed, then he sneered, raised his chin, and said with a bit of arrogance: "I am your biggest enemy in this competition, Kerwin Taylor, you'd better remember this name, because I will defeat you."
"Boring." Rong Yuan thought he would make a more earth-shattering speech, but after hearing this childish remark, he turned and left, leaving Colwin with his back.
Before Colvin could retract his provocative expression, the person opposite him disappeared. He blinked, froze for a moment, turned around and chased after him, shouting, "Hey! Don't you want to say something?"
The answer he got was the door in front of him closing with a bang.
…
In room 2212 on the same floor, four teenagers were sitting together. A boy with dimples was holding a computer and typing on the keyboard. Next to him was a square-faced boy watching TV. The only boy who didn't wear glasses was sitting cross-legged on the bed in shorts playing Sudoku on a tablet. The most handsome boy hung up the phone and said to the others, "I just received a message that Rong Yuan is here and is in room 2201."
These four people are the other contestants from Tang Country participating in the physics competition: Yu Li, Mao Feng, Yin Dongbai and Fu Yichen.
The actions of several people paused for a moment. Yin Dongbai put down the tablet and asked, "Has he finished the math test?"
"You are too oblivious to what is happening outside, aren't you?" Mao Feng said, "The news has spread everywhere. It is said that he is the first in individual performance."
"Wow, cool!" Yin Dongbai praised and smiled, but he did not look relaxed.
They didn't have many opportunities to meet Rong Yuan, and Yin Dongbai suspected that the guy might not even remember their names, but anyone who participated in the physics competition was impressed by Rong Yuan. Originally, it was a happy thing for the Tangguo contestant to win first place, but as long as they thought that this person was Rong Yuan, they couldn't be happy.
It's not jealousy or resentment, but I feel a huge pressure on my head.
They all knew each other before the finals, except Rong Yuan, who had not participated in any group activities from the finals to the national training team, and usually only showed up during exams. But this elusive guy had always been firmly above everyone else, and if he showed up once in a while, he would definitely take away the first place. Over time, hearing this name made people feel guilty and short of breath.
They were teammates who came together to participate in international competitions, but there was also competition between them. And surpassing Rong Yuan was the ambition of each of them.
The sound of keyboard tapping was endless, making people feel impatient. Fu Yichen asked, "Yu Li, what are you doing?"
"I'm broadcasting the match live on Dudu.com in China. There are a lot of fans waiting for updates." Yu Li said without stopping his movements. He dragged the mouse and said, "Look, I just said Rong Yuan has arrived, and there are more than 30 replies below... 50. Wow! Shit! No way? This guy is a rich second-generation!"
"What?"
Several people came over curiously, and the comments were still scrolling up quickly.
A bunch of netizens addressing them as "mother" or "sister" are asking them to take good care of "our Yuanyuan". Some are telling him to eat more, some are telling him to go to bed early, and some are telling him to be careful about jet lag... Who built this building? They can't even nod to Rong Yuan, can they?
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Yu Li searched for some news about Rong Yuan in China. After reading it, he felt as if he had watched a 40-episode melodrama. He also imagined the behind-the-scenes story of the 80th episode. He felt terrible.
