June 8th is the second and last day of the college entrance examination.
Just like yesterday, the entrance to Chenghua was crowded with students and parents. Fortunately, traffic control was implemented on the main street in front of the school, and no car could drive into the road, otherwise it might have been crowded with luxury cars.
Jiang Zhuo opened the car door and waited for his wife and son to get out of the car before protecting them as they rushed into the crowd. As he walked, he said, "We still have some savings at home. After Chenchen finishes his exams, I'll buy him a car. This is really inconvenient."
When Jiang Ran woke up this morning, she was crying a little. Jiang Xiaoran, who was less than three months old, had grown a lot. She was white, soft and delicate. She grabbed Jiang Chen's collar with her little fist and refused to be held by others. If someone reached out his hand, she would cry loudly. Her little face was flushed and her parents and brother were so distressed that they were at a loss. If Jiang Chen's exam today was not more important, they would not be willing to leave Jiang Ran with Mr. Miao again.
If the family has a car, this situation would be much more convenient. Although the car is not very comfortable, it is not impossible to take Jiang Ran with you.
"Dad, Mr. Li from LiDe gave me a car. Since I don't have a driver's license, I've been keeping it in Shen Xu's garage. You can drive it for the time being."
Jiang Zhuo knew about the car. His wife and son were in the hospital at the time. When the car arrived, he was pulled over to take a quick look. He knew it was worth a lot of money but quickly forgot about it. It was not until Jiang Chen mentioned it now that he thought about it again.
"You should drive it yourself after you pass the driving test." Thinking of the sports car that was not at all low-key in appearance, Jiang Zhuo smiled and said, "That car is not suitable for people of my age."
Jiang Chen recalled the shape of the sports car and couldn't help but smile, saying, "Actually, that car doesn't really suit me."
A gift given by a gift giver always bears the shadow of the gift giver, and that sports car is the best proof of that.
The family of three followed the crowd to the entrance of Chenghua. At this time, the people at the entrance of Chenghua had dispersed a little, and most of the candidates had already entered the examination room. It was a bit late when they came out, and Yang Si and Jiang Zhuo urged Jiang Chen to go in quickly. Jiang Chen nodded to his parents and turned to walk to the examination room.
Jiang Chen had just turned halfway when his eyes paused. He looked through the few people and saw Yang Yun and He Yanfeng standing not far away.
Jiang Zhuo and Yang Si followed his line of sight and saw them. Yang Si nodded to them without thinking too much and urged Jiang Chen to go in quickly. Jiang Zhuo raised his hand and patted Jiang Chen's shoulder, lowering his voice and saying, "Go and say hello, let them feel at ease."
When the Chinese language test ended yesterday afternoon, He Qianjian came out before Jiang Chen, but Jiang Zhuo noticed that He Yanfeng and his wife did not leave first, but waited until Jiang Chen came out before leaving. The same was true for the math test in the afternoon. Their behavior confirmed his previous guess.
Poor parents in the world.
After such a period of time, Jiang Zhuo has slowly digested the fact that Jiang Chen is not actually his biological son. After confessing this, there has been no change in their family's relationship. The same stability and warmth as before make him feel at ease, and at the same time, he has the rationality and sensibility to analyze other things.
For example, how to discuss with the He family about the time Jiang Chen and He Qianjian will spend in each family, how to confess to his wife that he had taken the wrong son, and what He Yanfeng and his wife had done for Jiang Chen and their expectations...
He Yanfeng and his wife undoubtedly wanted to get along well with Jiang Chen, just as he had a vague sense of rejection towards He Qianjian in his heart, which might be caused by preconceived notions, but he would still imagine many scenes of getting along with He Qianjian, because that would be inevitable, and also because He Qianjian was his biological son after all.
The several times that He Qianjian had met them intentionally or unintentionally before were obviously because He Yanfeng and his wife hoped that they would have some basis for knowing and contacting each other before they revealed their identities. Jiang Zhuo could feel their dedication and intentions from their actions, and could see that they hoped that both families could move in a better direction.
Since the matter has been settled, it would be best if everyone is happy.
Jiang Zhuo gently pushed Jiang Chen: "Go ahead."
Jiang Chen turned his head and glanced at Jiang Zhuo's smiling eyes. He also curled up his lips into a smile and walked towards He Yanfeng and his wife.
Yang Si was a little puzzled: "We are about to enter the examination room. If you want to say hello, you can do it later when you come out. Why are you asking Chenchen to go over now? And if you want to say hello, we should go over first."
"Just let him go." Jiang Zhuo held Yang Si in his arms, slightly tilted his body to block her from looking at Jiang Chen, and said, "Let's go sit over there and wait until Chenchen finishes the exam before coming out."
Yang Si stretched his head to look over there: "Chenchen hasn't entered the examination room yet, I want to watch him go in."
"My son is so old now. He's already at the entrance of the examination room. How could he get lost?" Jiang Zhuo led her in the direction she came from. "Besides, my legs hurt a little."
Yang Si's attention was immediately diverted, and he asked worriedly, "What happened? Was it too crowded just now and did it squeeze you?"
"It's okay, just take a rest."
When Yang Si and Jiang Zhuo walked against the crowd to the other end of the street, Jiang Chen had already walked in front of Yang Yun and He Yanfeng.
"Dad, Mom."
Ever since Jiang Chen walked towards them, Yang Yun could hardly suppress the joy in his eyes. Now seeing him standing in front of her, she couldn't help but hug him. Many words she wanted to say came to her lips, but she just hugged him tightly.
He Yanfeng's eyes were also filled with smiles. He patted Jiang Chen on the shoulder and said, "Do well in the exam."
This hug was somewhat strange but warm. Jiang Chen was stiff for a moment, then relaxed. He patted Yang Yun's back soothingly, raised his head and smiled at He Yanfeng, "I will do well in the exam."
"If you can pass the imperial examination and come back as the top scorer, I'll give you the highest floor of the central building as your office space."
The Central Building is the most prosperous CBD in Yan City. A company that can have a place there represents a kind of strength in itself. If an office can be located there, subsequent recruitment will be much easier.
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up: "Really?"
"How could Dad lie to you?" He Yanfeng laughed, leaned close to him and said, "If you really pass the exam and get the top score, let alone the highest floor, I will send people to take care of your decoration and recruitment. Not only that, don't worry about your uncle and grandfather not being able to afford the reward, just ask for it. Your laboratory in Lide doesn't belong to you after all, so ask your uncle and grandfather to build a research institute for you. They will definitely not refuse you."
Jiang Chen was slightly stunned. It takes more than just money to set up a research institute. The preliminary procedures are enough to overwhelm most people, not to mention the various equipment, professional maintenance personnel and venues needed after its establishment.
Establishing a research institute was indeed part of his career development plan, but that was after the company was established and had a certain strength, influence and sufficient funds. He never thought of establishing a research institute in the early stages of the company.
However, if he could really have his own research institute in the early stages, his plan could be accelerated by at least three years. Moreover, if the national research institute and his own research institute could be used sequentially, it would be more beneficial to the development of the Yangtze River, including the development of the company.
Before, he had never thought of using the power of the He family to do anything, or rather, he had originally intended to completely separate his career from the He family. But now he has realized that as long as he returns to the He family, as long as the He family recognizes his identity, even if he does nothing, there will be people who will open the door to convenience for him because of the He family name, and he will never be able to completely separate his career from the He family.
In this case, there is no need for him to completely separate himself from the He family. He can ask He Yanfeng for help with the office address, but the research institute cannot let the He family invest. It has nothing to do with closeness. The founders of the company are him, Shen Xu and Huo Bo. If the investment of the He family in the early stage exceeds their total investment, then there will be objections to the distribution of shares in the company in the later stage. The He family may not want anything, but he cannot give nothing, even to relatives.
"Forget about the research institute." Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes and said excitedly, "But I'll take the top floor of the central building you promised me."
He Yanfeng curled his lips: "Dad is waiting for you there."
"Okay, stop talking. Chenchen is going to be late." Yang Yun held Jiang Chen's hand and couldn't help but remind him, "Don't be nervous or stressed. Mom and Dad believe in you. Go in."
At this time, there were only twenty minutes left before the exam, and there were only two or three students queuing for security check at the school gate. Jiang Chen quickly passed the security check. He took a few steps and looked back as if he had sensed something. He saw He Yanfeng and Yang Yun standing by the school gate and watching him go in. He smiled, waved to them, and then turned and left.
Jiang Chen was the last one to enter the classroom. Not long after he sat down, the invigilator came in.
Just like yesterday, the invigilator repeated the exam rules and then waited for the exam to begin. The classroom was completely silent, including He Qianjian's.
The exam bell rang, the teacher opened the file bag and started handing out papers, and the exam began.
Jiang Chen did as usual. After writing his name and admission ticket number, he quickly glanced over the test paper and determined the general outline of the comprehensive science test questions before turning over to prepare to answer the questions.
The first question in the comprehensive science test was a single-choice question, and the second question was a multiple-choice question. Jiang Chen was always very fast at answering multiple-choice questions. He had finished three questions before he heard He Qianjian's voice.
[It’s been a minute since the exam started, why haven’t you given me the answer to the first multiple-choice question? ]
System: [I have something to do now. I will give you an answer after I finish it.]
He Qianjian's tone suddenly changed: [Do you know that I am taking the college entrance examination now? Is there anything more important than my exam? ]
The system didn't want to say more, just said: [The test lasts two and a half hours, and the last half hour is definitely enough time for you to fill in the answers.]
He Qianjian had a bad feeling in his heart. The loss of connection with the exam system during the math competition had already left him with a shadow. This exam meant too much, and he would never allow the system to go wrong at this time.
[Give me my answer first, and then deal with your affairs. You are my system, and these are my orders.]
【system? 】
【system? ! 】
The system didn't answer. He Qianjian once again thought of the series of consequences caused by the last time the system lost connection, and his face became extremely gloomy.
【System? Speak.】
Fortunately, the system didn't seem to be completely disconnected like last time, and the tone was as cold and calm as ever: [Someone is attacking me and trying to block my signal. Once they succeed, you will be in the same situation as the last math competition where you couldn't contact me, and the situation may be even worse. After my own self-modification and upgrade, my program has been upgraded to provide external defense and attack tracking programs, but I am not a pursuit system. Once they break through the defense line, my program is very likely to be implanted with a virus, and then I may be completely disconnected from you. ]
The system spoke a long paragraph in a calm tone, but there were only four words in He Qianjian's mind - completely lost connection.
What does it mean to be completely disconnected? Will he never be able to contact the system again and will he never be able to use the system again?
If the system was lost, He Qianjian couldn't even imagine the outcome.
He quickly asked: [What do you mean by completely lost contact? Didn't you say that no one on this planet can harm you? Then how could they implant a virus in you? ]
He Qianjian's tone was full of doubt. In fact, he only believed the system's words 30% of the time.
From his past interactions with the system, although the system would do things according to his wishes, the prerequisite was that he also provided the system with what it needed, and most of the time, he could hear the system's inhuman disdain from its cold voice without tone.
Not only for the technology and backwardness of this planet, but also for all human beings on the planet, including him.
At first, He Qianjian would be angry because of such hidden disdain, but later he figured it out. The system belonged to him, and all the means and powerful functions of the system also belonged to him. As long as the system existed, he could be superior to most people in this world, so what did it matter what attitude the system had towards him?
After realizing this, He Qianjian changed his attitude towards the system. Every time he talked to the system or asked the system for help, he would deliberately reveal his strong yearning and admiration for it. Over the years, he and the system have always gotten along well.
However, he didn't know when the relationship between him and the system began to become strained.
He Qianjian only remembered that after the math joint exam, they had an unprecedented quarrel. He couldn't control his emotions and even smashed many things in the room. Yang Yun noticed his abnormality, but at that time he was in no mood to care about Yang Yun's thoughts.
Because the system said: Do you think I can only choose you as my host?
This sentence froze He Qianjian where he was, at a loss and extremely terrified, until later he remembered the system rules he had first seen, one of which was that the system was not allowed to change the host unless there was a major accident or the host died.
He became more confident, and with his previous grievances, he was no longer as flattering and obedient as before, and his relationship with the system plummeted. However, he was always certain that even if the system really had human likes and dislikes, and really hated him, it would not be able to get rid of him.
But now, He Qianjian was not sure anymore.
If the system really wants to get rid of him, with its strength it naturally has the means to do so without violating the system rules, such as a major accident in the system rules. If the system is attacked on Earth and the program becomes unstable, would that be considered a major accident?
But is there anyone on Earth who has the technology to fight against the system?
He Qianjian didn't believe it.
Then there is an explanation for the frequent loss of connection with the system and the sarcasm and impatience every time he quarreled with him.
——It is looking for an excuse and a legitimate way to circumvent the rules to get rid of him.
This thought made He Qianjian tighten his grip on the pen. Even though the wind from the fan was steaming in the June weather, He Qianjian felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
If the system really wants to change the system, if the system really wants to abandon him, what will happen to him?
He is now sitting in the college entrance examination room, but without the help of the system, even if he got full marks in two subjects yesterday, he still cannot get into an ordinary second-tier university.
The He family has already found Jiang Chen, and his position in the He family has long been precarious. After Jiang Chen confronts the Jiang family, it is unclear whether he can continue to stay in the He family. If his college entrance examination scores are not even good enough to get into an ordinary second-tier university, then his confidence in staying in the He family will be even less.
He Qianjian could almost see the consequences of being kicked out of the He family.
Just like in the previous life, I want to be an ordinary person with no money, no power and no influence, who can be stepped on by anyone, unable to buy a house or find a wife, and spend my life in the cold eyes and ridicule of people around me.
He Qianjian's face was gloomy. He would never allow himself to return to that situation again.
He must do well in the college entrance examination. Only by entering a prestigious school can he have a glimmer of security. Even if he is kicked out of the He family and the system really abandons him, he will at least have a higher starting point than ordinary people.
[You must give me an answer now. You promised me before that you would definitely make sure I get the top score in science.] He Qianjian calmed down and said in a cold tone: [In the system rules, there is a rule that must be executed after the system and the host agree. If you don't do what you said, then I will activate the anti-virus button that I have never used.]
Jiang Chen paused while working on the test. He Qianjian had not spoken for a long time. He thought that the system signal had been blocked by C and Changjiang, which was why he could not hear the conversation between the system and Jiang Chen. He did not expect that the system had not been completely blocked.
But what is the kill button?
The system quickly responded, and the electronic voice seemed even colder than usual: [Are you threatening me?]
He Qianjian did not answer: [Give me the answer right away. ]
The system was silent for a few seconds, perhaps because it was really afraid of the "kill virus button". It quickly reported the answers to He Qianjian's comprehensive science test paper. However, Jiang Chen didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but he always felt that each sound was colder than the previous one.
When it came to the fifth multiple-choice question, the system's voice stopped abruptly. Jiang Chen raised his eyes to look at He Qianjian in front of him. He was sitting in his seat in a stiff posture, not moving. It seemed that the joint efforts of Changjiang and C had finally worked.
Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze and continued to work on the questions, but He Qianjian felt a chill running up from the soles of his feet to his scalp.
The nightmare from the last math competition reappeared, and the system cut off its connection with him again.
His eyes fell on the comprehensive science answer sheet with only five questions blacked out. He Qianjian's hands and feet turned cold and there were only two words in his mind: It's over.
