Chapter 303: The boy grows up and finally returns home (Part 2)
Zhong Ziang: "Uncle, I think I should become better."
Xie Dingyuan: "How much better is better? Like Jiang Fuyue?"
"Uh-huh!"
"Then you may need to go back to the drawing board."
“…”
"And retraining isn't a 100% sure thing, because the formation of intelligence isn't a simple matter. Its creation, development, expansion, and perfection are all closely related to brain development. Let's put it this way: the brain is the material foundation for the formation of intelligence, and its growth and development are inextricably linked to both innate genetic factors and acquired factors..."
Zhong Ziang: “…” Sorry to bother you.
After Xie Dingyuan explained the inheritance factors, he was about to analyze the acquired factors.
"Uncle, please let me go. I'll kneel down to you!"
Xie Dingyuan's eyes flashed with a smile, and he looked relaxed for once. "Why, were you struck by the scene of Jiang Fuyue going on stage to receive the award?"
Zhong Ziang didn't say anything.
There was a moment of silence in the car.
After a while, he said, "I didn't think there was anything wrong with me before, really; but now I feel that nothing is right about me."
Xie Dingyuan pondered for a moment. "Why do you insist on using Jiang Fuyue as a reference? Intelligence is innate. If you're planning on trying to match her in this regard, I advise you to give up."
"Then what should I do?"
"Every inch has its own strengths and weaknesses. Jiang Fuyue's intelligence allows her to shine on the international competition stage, and she may also have a place in academia in the future because she clearly understands her strengths. Maximizing those strengths is success. Have you ever thought about what your strengths are?"
"What are my advantages..." Before going to sleep, Zhong Ziang lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, muttering to himself.
Jiang Fuyue's advantages are her high IQ and good academic performance, so she chose to participate in the competition and may engage in scientific research in the future.
And what about yourself?
What are his strengths? What effects can these strengths bring? And what industry will he pursue in the future?
When Zhong Ziang faced his life for the first time, he realized how desolate his life had been over the past decade.
It looks like a cluster of flowers, but it is actually devoid of nutrition.
This can't go on, he told himself.
The most urgent thing is... to get a good night's sleep and return home tomorrow!
A man's growth often happens in an instant.
…
After a long seven-day competition, the Chinese team finally set off to return home.
At 3 pm China time, the flight landed at the Imperial Capital Airport on time.
As soon as Yan Zhenfeng and his party walked out of the arrival hall, a group of reporters who had been waiting for a long time swarmed over.
I looked at the station logos on the radio microphone and found that they were all from domestic first-line news media, even several CCTV channels were among them.
"this……"
Yan Zhenfeng and Qin Libin looked at each other, both confused.
"Is there an interview arranged?" the two turned to ask Sun Qun.
"No, no... I didn't receive a call."
"What about these reporters?"
"Could it be that they've come out in full force because of our impressive achievements this year?"
When this reason was given, none of the three believed it.
In previous years, when IPhO got a perfect group score, there weren’t so many reporters coming as soon as we got off the plane?
Even if an interview is needed, it is arranged by the higher authorities and a brief report is made, that's all.
News chases popularity, and reporters prefer to focus on hot events. Small things like IPhO are really too cold to be ignored.
But this scene before my eyes actually happened.
Yan Zhenfeng: "Could it be that some popular celebrity is on the same flight with us, attracting so many media outlets?"
Qin Libin shook his head. "I don't think so. What kind of celebrity could attract so many legitimate media outlets? And there's CCTV News in it... Stop kidding."
"Could it be that they're really coming for us? Oh my god! They're really coming for us! Hurry up and grab your luggage! Sun Qun, go to the back and look after the kids. Don't let them come over for now!"
"Ohhh! I'll be right there!"
In just two sentences, a large number of reporters arrived.
A flurry of microphones were passed to Yan Zhenfeng and Qin Libin. "Professors, welcome back!"
Although it was crowded, it was not chaotic, and the other party greeted them as soon as they opened their mouths, which made the two of them feel a little relieved.
Sure enough, there is a difference between serious media and paparazzi.
Yan Zhenfeng: "Thank you."
Reporter: "Congratulations to the Chinese team for their outstanding performance in this IPhO. We would like to interview the returning students, especially Jiang Fuyue. Is that possible?"
As soon as Jiang Fuyue was mentioned, the eyes of the remaining dozen or so reporters suddenly lit up.
Before Yan Zhenfeng could answer, five students appeared carrying luggage.
So, Sun Qun went in and stopped nothing?
Someone among the reporters suddenly shouted, "Look! Jiang Fuyue is out—"
The scene suddenly became chaotic and out of control. A group of reporters rushed towards Jiang Fuyue. They were like hungry wolves seeing meat, and they all went crazy.
Yan Zhenfeng and Qin Libin stood in the middle, like a scarecrow encountering a herd of horses, with everything scattered to the ground, leaving only dust and dirt.
Yan Zhenfeng: What's the difference between serious media? It turns out that you are only serious towards them two, and you turn into a paparazzi the moment you see Jiang Fuyue!
Second update, 2,000 words.
There are three watches.
