In China, seniority and hierarchy have always existed.
If we arrange them according to the normal generational order.
Those were Xu's father and Feng Zong, who were of the same generation. The generation before them were mostly old revolutionaries.
Wang Shouren, if ranked by age, should be of the same generation as Xu Yuanchao.
However, within the circle, many people actually place Wang Shouren in the same generation as Xu's father and Feng Zong.
There's no other reason than that over the years, he picked up many elderly people and helped a lot of them.
The elderly folks all treated him like a son or nephew.
If that's all there is to it, then so be it.
But this guy did things that many of Xu's father's generation couldn't do.
Therefore, Wang Shouren was an anomaly in his generation.
In terms of success, he could outperform 99% of people; in terms of age, he was like their son. Therefore, those old men and women loved to use Wang Shouren as an example whenever they had free time.
This resulted in Wang having a fairly high level of hatred among this group.
It's not that I have any deep hatred, it's just that I was a bit embarrassed by my parents' scolding.
Feng Zong was one of the victims.
The old man went out.
The meeting at home is still ongoing.
Gong Na asked gently, "Fangfang, have you thought it through? If you have, Grandma supports you. But before that, has the man's side made any gestures?"
At their level, money doesn't really matter much anymore.
It really comes down to just an attitude issue.
Oh, of course, unless they intend to use their child's marriage to gain some benefit, they probably wouldn't interfere much in their child's marriage. However, the Feng family isn't that kind of person.
"Yes, Ruiming said he'll come to visit in a few days. He's already been to my parents' house."
“Okay, if you go to the US, your salaries probably won’t be enough. I’ll give you some more later.” Gong Na turned to look at Feng Zhiyuan; she was already making plans for the child.
"No need, Grandma, we can afford it ourselves," Feng Fang said cheerfully.
Gong Na shook her head: "No, we shouldn't spend the man's money before we get married. Our Feng family can't let him look down on us."
“Grandma, you misunderstood. We earned the money for him to go abroad ourselves.” Feng Fang immediately understood Gong Na’s meaning and quickly said, “Ruiming’s father said that if Ruiming wants to go abroad, he will give him two options. One is that he will provide Ruiming with funds, and after returning to China, Ruiming will work for his father. We’ll take it one step at a time. The other is that Ruiming can find a way to earn the money himself and go abroad on his own. After returning to China, if he has money, his father will provide some funds to invest in building a laboratory for Ruiming to use.”
This can be considered a test for Wang Ruiming.
Wang Ruiming is not a researcher in the traditional sense.
To be precise, he's more like a kid who loves playing games. He wants others to be able to drive the cars he made, so he leans more towards practical applications.
That's why Wang Shouren gave him such a test: research can't just stay in the lab forever; you need to know what the market needs and what kind of products to create. In this day and age, with his intelligence and connections, creating a patent that could make him money and selling it to Wang Shouren's company wasn't difficult. The difficulty lay in how to obtain that money.
From the moment he enrolled, he began his days of wits and courage against Wang Shouren.
In his first year at university, that scoundrel Wang Shouren started sending spies around him, and then Wang Shouren stole his achievements.
That winter, he went home crying and complained to Qin Jingru for a long time. In the end, Qin Jingru was gloating.
“That’s when we met…” Feng Fang said, recounting the day she met Wang Ruiming.
Everyone loves to hear gossip.
"Wow, this father is really ruthless." Feng Zhiyuan gasped.
Good heavens, is this something a human would do? Sending someone to steal his son's things? And then registering the patent first? It's absurd not to sever their father-son relationship after all.
“Ruiming cried terribly back then.” Feng Fang couldn’t help but laugh as she said this: “Later, the principal even used this incident as a negative example to tell the story at school.”
“That’s the right thing to do.” Gong Na nodded. “Children should also know that people can be wicked. Being too naive isn’t good either.”
"And then what? Did he ever return the money?" Xiong Li asked curiously.
"No, his father dug another hole for him the following year."
"Huh? Again?"
"Yes, for two and a half years of his four years of university, he was constantly digging his own grave. According to Ruiming himself, if it weren't for his father constantly rigging him, he would have saved enough money to go abroad long ago. However, I played a part in this; I saw through his father's scheme one time..."
Wang Shouren's scheme wasn't just about stealing someone else's patent; he also secretly spread false information and passed it on to Wang Ruiming. Wang Ruiming, despite his intelligence, was still an honest young man. When he went to the lab and overheard the professors discussing the news, he thought it was true and decided to get started.
Fortunately, Feng Fang noticed something was amiss and made several inquiries. She discovered that this research direction was a trap, thus avoiding falling into it.
In his short few years of university life, despite his research, Wang Ruiming encountered quite a few pitfalls.
“This Wang Shouren, he really is… really…” Feng Zhiyuan didn’t know what to say to him.
"It's better than getting scammed later." Gong Na largely agreed with this, emphasizing that life abroad is different from being at home: "Have you saved enough?"
Hearing her granddaughter say this, Gong Na felt relieved. If Wang Ruiming didn't have the ability to save money, then Wang Shouren probably wouldn't have gone to such lengths to make things difficult for him. The fact that he went to such lengths meant that Wang Ruiming did have the ability.
"Yes, I've saved enough, and I've applied to the school. I can leave next year, and I even have a scholarship."
Both children have excellent grades and are studying the same major. Aside from a little anxiety about studying abroad, the financial pressure isn't too great.
"Everyone says Wang Shouren is rich, young lady, do you know exactly how much money his family has?" Xiong Li asked curiously.
It wasn't that she was greedy; she was just simply curious.
"I don't know." Feng Fang shook her head: "Ruiming said that it's probably true that anything that can be bought with money can be bought."
“Mom, I’ve made quite a bit of money here. You can go to Hong Kong with Ruiming’s mom sometime.”
