Chapter 443
On the TV, the camera is focused on Wen Fengmian.
It was clear.
Even a shallow scar on the top right corner of his forehead could be seen.
Ji Yihang’s eyes widened, his hand shook and the inkstone in his hand rolled to the ground.
“With a snap, it cracked and broke in half.
He just stared straight at the TV as if he hadn’t heard it, also in disbelief.
The interview was broadcast live and was still going on.
The reporter from the main TV station asked and Wen Fengmian answered, back and forth.
There were no pop-ups on the TV, it was all about the reporter’s presentation.
The gorgeous woman’s teeth chattered, her speech was out of tune, and she couldn’t believe it: “He …… actually trained two top students in the college entrance examination? And both were first in the national paper?”
They had heard of this person, Ying Zidian.
Especially last month, it could be said that it was like a thunderbolt.
The isc international final, the Ji family, as a scientific research family, was naturally very concerned.
When the explosion occurred in O Chau and Ying Zigui was buried, and the doctors concluded that it was very likely that he would never wake up again, they also felt sorry for him, but they soon put it behind them.
Only a living genius is useful.
Ji Yihang was also well aware of how difficult this national paper was.
Of course, this difficulty was aimed at all students.
For the top group, the difficulty of the gaokao would be the same for them, no matter how much it changed.
But a Gao Kao top student with 750 points is really too rare.
The Ji family had also produced a few top students in the gaokao, but the highest one was 735 points.
Although it was a difference of only 15 points, the gap was bigger than the first and second grade lines.
“It’s him.” Ji Yihang murmured, “He’s really not dead.”
More than twenty years had pa*sed, he was still impressed.
Back then, that experimental accident, the researchers in the core area, a total of eighteen of them died.
The death poison mist was in full invasion, basically there was no possibility of living.
More than twenty years ago, China’s science and technology was not yet developed.
Although the researchers in the core area were wearing the best protective suits, they could not stop the death mist.
Not to mention, the experiment went wrong, resulting in a serious radiation exposure.
Even the researchers and a*sistants on the periphery had all left one by one over the years.
Ji Yihang never thought that Wen Fengmian would survive at all.
Wen Fengmian was the first researcher.
He was the only one to do all the core operations.
No one else could replace him.
On the television, Wen Fengmian was smiling faintly, very clean and calm.
In a trance, Ji Yihang remembered that teenager from more than twenty years ago.
Only 16 years old, but already far ahead of all his peers, even some professors.
At an age when others were still playing, Wen Fengmian had already become the number one researcher in the secret experimental area.
This achievement, not to mention the Ji family, was beyond the reach of all international families related to scientific research.
“Book a flight and go to Shanghai City.” Ji Yihang made an immediate decision, “He’s still alive, and it’s surprising that he won’t come back, he must be brought back.”
He learnt from the interview that this brother of his, surprisingly, had even changed his surname.
Then, living incognito in a poverty-stricken county for more than twenty years.
Was the surname Ji that hard for him to bear?
Although the Ji family was some kind of business family, there was enough money to go around.
Wen Fengmian used to have the best clothing, food and shelter too, so how could he stand to be so poor?
Ji Yihang couldn’t imagine out.
“Not these days lately.” Mrs. Ji shook her head, “The project at the experimental base has reached a critical moment, and it was only in the past two days that you were free to keep Little Li company.”
Ji Li was the youngest daughter of the two, and was also taking the college entrance exam this year.
The paper used in the imperial capital was not the national paper, but the paper was easier than the national paper this time.
Ji Li’s score was 708, ranking 89th in the college entrance examination.
The company’s results were not only in the form of a report, but also in the form of a report.
With such a reminder, Ji Yihang also remembered.
He was slightly silent: “I’ll first finish the last step as soon as possible and then take a leave of absence.”
No matter what, they had to get Wen Fengmian back.
**
The commotion on the internet didn’t affect Ying Ziyi.
First Light Media was doing their best to dig up all the nasty things about Skybound Entertainment these days and compiled them into a booklet.
“Boss, this Tian Xing Entertainment is really no better than Star Entertainment.” The female secretary pointed to the booklet that was a full ten centimetres back, “Look at all the things they’ve done, it’s simply breathtaking.”
The only thing that made Skybound Entertainment better than Star Entertainment was that they cut the leeks, cutting the bottom group of artists.
Unlike Star Entertainment, who even dared to casually abuse a movie star like Shang Yaozhi.
“In a couple of days, post all the evidence online.” Ying Ziyi pondered for a moment, “There’s no need to move today.”
The head teacher had even called her just now, saying that many students and parents had come to him for advice.
The whole internet was celebrating today, she couldn’t spoil their fun and let Skybound Entertainment dominate the hot search.
Ying Ziji’s eyelashes drooped slightly, her fingers tapped the table lightly and faintly: “However, the other plan can start to proceed, at the lowest price, to acquire Skybound Entertainment.”
Originally, this plan had started a long time ago, but it had been shelved until now because of the explosion.
The female secretary was very on board, “Boss, I understand, money has to be spent on the edge, where can we waste money on such things.”
If they wanted to acquire Skybound Entertainment, the money spent would definitely have to be in excess of a hundred billion.
But if Skybound Entertainment’s reputation fell, the stock would follow suit.
This way, it would be able to save a lot of money.
This was the same idea that Luo Wenbin had played with at the beginning, but now it was backfiring.
At this time, there was a knock on the office door.
Ying Zigui looked up: “Enter.”
The person who came in was Director Lu, who looked serious: “Boss, Luo Wenbin said that the Asia-Pacific president of Time Media asked to see you.”
Time Media, one of the top entertainment companies in the world, had artists who were riding on the international film and television industry.
It has affiliated entertainment companies in various countries and regions.
Time Media had always wanted to reach into the Chinese entertainment industry, but the comprehensive strength of Primeval Media was too strong and it had not been able to shake its foundation.
Time Media will cooperate with Skybound Entertainment not only to help Skybound Entertainment, but also for its own ambition.
Ying Ziyang was indifferent: “Not seeing.”
“That’s right, no.” The female secretary also spoke up, “Is it possible for our boss to meet with anyone who wants to?”
This is China.
Does Times Media really consider itself a master?
Director Lu nodded, “I’m going to reply.”
“I’ll go first too.” Ying got up, “You can all sort out what’s going on behind you.”
“Okay boss.” The female secretary saw her out, “Boss, have a nice life with your boyfriend.”
Ying Zidian paused in his steps and turned his head to look at her, his eyes cool.
The female secretary: “???”
Did she say something wrong?
**
Downstairs.
Fu Yunshen’s car is already parked at the door.
Ying Ziji pulled open the pa*senger door and sat up.
“Big Brother, here you are.” Nie Chao sat in the back seat and dozed off, this time waking up, “Big Brother, you’re really good, 750 points, my old man praised you for being smart.”
Fu Yunshen looked ahead of the road and lifted his eyelids, “Your mouth is useless?”
Nie Chao immediately shut up.
He tried hard to lower his presence and not be a light bulb that emitted an unholy glow in the middle of the couple.
Boing, single dogs have no human rights.
Fu Yunshen started the car and headed to Nie’s house.
Ying leaned back in his chair and took a video call, it was from Wen Fengmian: “Dad?”
“A reporter interviewed me just now, and I accepted.” Wen Fengmian’s voice was tinged with laughter, “The reporter even asked me how I was going to raise you and Yu Yu, I said you were both good kids and didn’t need to be raised.”
Ying Ziyi looked puzzled.
She knew the reason why Wen Fengmian didn’t like to appear in front of the public, apart from his own low profile, he also didn’t want people in the imperial capital to find out about him.
“Yao Yao, you’re right, there are some things that need to be unravelled, and I can’t keep running away from them.” Wen Fengmian was silent for a moment, then smiled again, “When things are all done, papa will go to the imperial capital with you.”
Ying Ziji’s eyes were slightly frozen, “Dad.”
“It’s still the same.” Wen Fengmian said, “No matter what happens, daddy will always be proud of you, you are daddy’s daughter and always will be.”
Ying Ziji fell silent for a moment, not answering.
Her heart, however, was vibrating slightly.
Wen Fengmian’s intelligence was strangely high, otherwise, it would not have been possible to have a genius son like Wen Huilan.
There was no way that Wen Fengmian hadn’t noticed the changes that had occurred in her body either.
But there was one thing that was right.
Whether it was before or now, it was still her, except that for the first ten years or so, she hadn’t fully woken up, and most of her consciousness was still in a deep sleep, and she had no memories.
“Yun Shen is a good boy, I’m relieved to have him take care of you.” Wen Fengmian coughed, “Alright, go help, dad is waiting for you at home.”
That was the end of the video call.
Ying Ziji was still looking at the phone screen, not looking back.
Fu Yunshen’s long fingers rested on the steering wheel, his head tilted slightly to the side, and he spoke seemingly without thinking, his voice soft: “I heard uncle complimenting me.”
Ying Zidian gathered his thoughts and glanced at him, “You heard wrong.”
“Hm?” Fu Yunshen raised his eyebrows, “I have good ears, I can hear you even with your headphones on.”
Ying yawned, “Eavesdropping on my phone calls, you don’t have a girlfriend anymore.”
“……”
This was a big threat.
While waiting for the red light, Fu Yunshen turned his head and cupped the girl’s face with a low laugh: “Girlfriend, when will you give me more benefits?”
Ying Zidian’s tone was still smooth: “Let’s see how you behave.”
He was a bit incomplete on this post.
“Yoyo, I bought a pig doll for you.” Fu Yunshen picked up a pig doll with one hand, “Doesn’t it look like our baby pig?”
Ying looked at a pink pig that was tucked in her arms, “……”
Dudu poked its head out of the pocket.
Fu Yunshen gave it a look, not slowing down: “Right? It looks exactly the same as you.”
Dudu who thinks he is unique in the world: “……”

The other side.
Yuan family.
Yuan’s father was off this afternoon and on his way home he bought a newspaper.
No one from Yuan Jiacheng’s generation had taken the college entrance exams, but Yuan’s father had always been used to reading about the top students every year.
In previous years, the Imperial Capital Daily usually only reported on the top students, toppers and scouts in the Imperial Capital’s college entrance examinations.
But this year there was a special section for Ying Zidian.
Because she deserves it.
There was no second person who could have done better than her at the isc international final.
Yuan’s father didn’t go to the isc International Final, he just knew that there was an explosion on the o-continent.
O-continent is always unsettled, and although this kind of thing doesn’t happen often, you hear about it every year.
Yuan’s father didn’t pay much attention to it anymore.
He picked up the newspaper and looked at it carefully.
At five o’clock, Meng Ru also came back.
She had gone out today to go shopping with a few noblewomen from the empire and had all heard again that the Nie family would be having a promotion party on East Street tomorrow.
This year, the Nie family did have juniors taking their entrance exams.
It was a good opportunity to take advantage of this and go and make a connection with the Nie family.
Meng Ru asked several times, but didn’t ask what exactly happened to Ying Yuexuan in O Chau, so she didn’t back out of the marriage.
“Look, the top student in this year’s Shanghai entrance examination has the same surname as Ying Yuexuan.” Father Yuan pointed at the newspaper, “Is it a member of the Ying family’s side line? A perfect score, that’s amazing.”
Father Yuan hadn’t met Ying Zigui.
He knew there was an adopted daughter in the Ying family who had been kicked out, and Meng Ru had mentioned it many times, but he didn’t know it was Ying Zidian.
And the surname Ying was too rare.
It is an ancient surname, one of the “Eight Great Surnames of the Ancient World”, and the national surname of the states of Qin and Zhao during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
When the Qin dynasty fell, the Ying clan fell into decline.
In order to avoid misfortune, most of the clan changed their surnames, such as Zhao and Shen.
Meng Ru was curious, “A surname? What is it called?”
The only person she had ever met who had the same surname as Ying Yuexuan was Ying Zigui.
Meng Ru took off the shawl covering her cheongsam and hung it on the hanger, then walked over and saw the newspaper.
At first glance, she saw the three big words “Ying Zidian” in the headline.
Chapter 444
The Imperial Capital Daily did not skimp on space at all, and bolded the headline.
Meng Ru was instantly stunned.
She was too familiar with the name because she was the one who started all the things on Ying Yuexuan’s side of the empire.
Meng Ru also knew that Ying Zigui was at Qingzhi and that her studies were not bad, but she hadn’t deliberately tried to find out about it.
If she was not bad, she was at most the same as Ying Yuexuan.
Moreover, she was not as good at programming as Ying Yuexuan.
Ying Yuexuan was handed over to them by Old Lady Ying herself, the youngest daughter of the Ying family.
The Yuan family was already struggling to raise Ying Yuexuan, they didn’t have time to take care of another Ying Zidian.
But now?
Meng Ru immediately took the newspaper out of Yuan’s father’s hand.
She thought it was a rename, but underneath the headline was a big colourful photo.
The girl was wearing the uniform of Qingzhi High School, her eyebrows as cold and clear as the fog on a distant mountain, unreachable.
Meng Ru’s hand shook.
The top student in the college entrance exam, the top student with full marks in the college entrance exam!
“What’s wrong with you?” Father Yuan saw Meng Ru lose her composure for the first time, “You know?”
“I, I know.” Meng Ru tried to restrain her emotions and keep her voice calm, “She’s the Ying family’s adopted daughter I told you about.”
Father Yuan was also shocked now, “It’s her?”
Meng Ru didn’t reply again and immediately took out her mobile phone and called Ying Yuexuan.
The phone rang seven or eight times before it was picked up.
Ying Yuexuan’s voice was slightly uneasy: “Madam Yuan, what do you want to see me about?”
“Ying Yuexuan.” Meng Ru’s voice was cold, “Tell me, how many marks did you get in the college entrance exam?”
Ying Yuexuan was still in the street when she received this call.
She didn’t expect Meng Ru to call her at this time, and her heart thudded.
Meng Ru had always been busy, so how could she suddenly ask her about her college entrance exam results in such a timely manner?
Ying Yuexuan pursed her lips, “Madam Yuan, I ……”
As soon as she heard her tone, she knew something was wrong, and her tone became colder: “You better not lie to me.”
Ying Yuexuan knew that she couldn’t hide it from Meng Ru, so she could only tell her college entrance exam results with a stiff upper lip: “535.”
“535?” when Meng Ru heard it, she all but laughed, “Did you say two hundred points less? 735, I can still accept it, tell me your 535 points, which university do you want to go to?”
“No, I should say, which one can you go to?”
With a score of 535, when placed in Shanghai City, you still want to go to a key university?
Not to mention the Imperial University, even an ordinary first-cla*s university, Ying Yuexuan might not be able to get into.
Moreover, as long as the final grade is below 535 points, Ying Yuexuan will only be able to go to the second grade.
The more Meng Ru thought about it, the more she laughed.
A solid seedling for the experimental computer cla*s at the Imperial University could actually get such a score?
“Madam Yuan, I played out of order because I was sick.” Ying Yuexuan knew she could never get Meng Ru to give up on her, and she argued as best she could, “I can repeat my studies, and next year, you believe me, the top student in Shanghai City’s entrance exam will definitely be me.”
“You scored 535 points, but your adopted daughter scored 750 points.” Meng Ru didn’t listen to her at all, her voice was cold, “She also experienced an explosion in O Chau, which was so close to the entrance exams, and she was at the centre of the explosion.”
“She was hovering between life and death and still managed to get the top prize in the entrance exams, you’re sick and you can fail to perform like that, Ying Yuexuan, do you think I believe that?”
Meng Ru hadn’t watched the isc international final either, she only knew that China had taken first place and exploded before she could celebrate.
She would know that Ying Yuexuan was also buried because the newspapers at the time happened to carry Ying’s name alone.
The contrast was so strong that anyone would have felt the difference.
Especially when there was still a certain relationship between the two.
Meng Ru didn’t want to say another word to Ying Yuexuan, and after hanging up the phone, she blacked out the number again.
“Withdraw the marriage.” Yuan’s father listened to the whole story and made an immediate decision, “I said a long time ago that there was something wrong with her, yet you still want to say wait, this marriage must be withdrawn immediately.”
Fortunately, when they had engaged Ying Yuexuan and Yuan Jiacheng, they hadn’t directly informed the entire imperial capital’s celebrity circle.
If not, how many people would have laughed if Yuan’s son had married a wife who didn’t even pa*s the first grade in the entrance examination?
Ying Yuexuan is only an upper middle-cla*s woman, and there are many better-looking people in the entertainment industry.
What does she see in Ying Yuexuan?
Isn’t it intelligence and talent?
“It’s time to retire.” Meng Ru took a deep breath, “It seems that I’m afraid that something also happened while she was in o continent for her to come back, I underestimated her, she’s not too old, but she has a heavy heart.”
Without saying a word, Meng Ru called the old Ying family residence again.
She didn’t let Zhong Manhua speak either. She directly said that she had withdrawn from the marriage and incidentally blacked out all the continuous ways of the Ying family as well.
Meng Ru was still furiously unclear: “If I had known, I should have checked more at that time, and now it’s us who are involved with the top student in the entrance exam.”
She was an Imperial noblewoman, so how could she specifically look up news about an adopted daughter?
She didn’t even think twice about asking her to type in the search box.
Mengru had to admit she’d looked away.
“What’s the point of saying this now?” Father Yuan shook his head, “Don’t think about it, people are no longer beyond our reach to climb.”
The Mu family and the Nie family were also after high-tech talent, a perfect high school entrance exam winner, could it be their turn to befriend them?
Father Yuan thought clearly.
Meng Ru, however, was distracted and somewhat reluctant.

Shanghai City.
On the main street.
Ying Yuexuan didn’t get to go back to the Ying family.
She followed Zhong Manhua out at noon and didn’t bring her key.
When she ran home, even the courtyard gate was locked.
Ying Yuexuan really didn’t expect Zhong Manhua to do such a desperate thing.
Just because she didn’t do well in the entrance exams?
The entrance exams are important, but they don’t determine a person’s life.
Ying Yuexuan was walking down the street, lost in thought, and was being reprimanded by Meng Ru, so she was about to collapse.
As a result, when she looked up, she saw the advertisement screen above the big one changed again.
[Qin Ling Yu’s fans congratulate Ying Bao on her good results in the college entrance exam!
Across the road, there was also a big advertising screen.
[Shang Yaozhi’s fans congratulate the boss on his good results in the entrance exam!
This is the advertising screen that the fans of both parties have paid for themselves to celebrate Ying Zigui.
Before this, they would only do this on their idol’s birthday.
Contracting such a big advertising screen in the central streets of Shanghai was hundreds of thousands of dollars a second.
Today, it can be said to be a day of celebration for the whole network.
Surrounded by two big advertising screens, Ying Yuexuan was so uncomfortable that she could hardly breathe.
Because her results at school did match the results of the college entrance exam, the head of the teaching service had again transferred her papers from the paper review team’s side.
The college entrance examination papers in Shanghai were all marked by the teachers from Shanghai University.
Only then did Ying Yuexuan realise with horror that she had missed filling in the multiple choice questions in maths, resulting in all the wrong places at the back, and had not been able to get any marks at all.
And whether it was the optional question in Mathematics or the optional question in Science, she did it, but surprisingly, she did not colour the options.
This was something that the teacher had to focus on even when it came to the last modal exam of the senior year.
If you didn’t colour in the options, you wouldn’t get a mark for the question even if you got it right.
But there was really no chance.
Ying Yuexuan regretted why she had to do it so quickly just to get rid of Ying Zidian.
If she had held back, she might have had a better chance.
Now, she had blocked all her paths.
Even Zhong Manhua, who had always doted on her, had just given up on her.
Ying Yuexuan was at a loss and simply did not know what to do.
She walked around for a while longer, homeless, and had no choice but to contact Jing Hongzhen once again.

Six o’clock in the evening.
The Nie family’s old mansion.
In the afternoon, Master Nie had the kitchen start preparing the meal.
Mu Heqing was also there.
Fifth Chuan didn’t come because his health wasn’t good enough to travel.
Both old men were happy, as if their granddaughter had scored full marks on her exams.
Nie Chao was holding a tub of Cheerios and eating them, watching the news of the college entrance exams on the television with rapt attention.
All the TV stations in the provinces and cities were reporting about Ying Zigui’s top score in the college entrance exam.
“Look at you.” Master Nie hated his iron and kicked Nie Chao’s buttocks, “You’re a bear all day long, you only know how to eat and sleep.”
Nie Chao was kicked out, but not a single carrot fell out of his arms: “I can still earn money.”
Ying Zidian smiled, inclined his head and nodded slightly, “Very capable.”
Nie Chao was now proud: “Grandpa, do you hear me?”
Master Nie hummed, “Heartless, you’re having a good time.”
He said this, but he was also in a pleasant mood.
On the other side of the sofa, Fu Yunshen lifted Dudu up and placed him on the pig doll he had bought.
He stretched out his hand and poked Dudu’s little tummy: “It looks just like you, how about giving it to you as a ride?”
Dududu didn’t want to pay attention to him and spun around, turning his bottom towards him.
