The next day, the matter was announced to the entire school, allowing students who were interested and felt they had the ability to sign up.

This news also made many people excited. Being able to represent the country in the competition is a great honor!

But most of them just join in the fun and don't think they have the ability to participate.

Some people also wanted to give it a try and signed up.

The reaction to this news at Kyoto University of Agriculture was just average. After all, everyone felt that if they had to select five people from across the country to participate in the competition, it would be extremely difficult to be selected.

The response at Huazhong University and Peking University was more enthusiastic. After all, those who were able to get in were all top students from their provinces, and more than half of the applicants were admitted.

Regardless of whether they can be selected in the end, they want to participate in the selection experience, and maybe they will get in.

Soon, the official announced that Song Chu and Gu Yue did not need to participate in the selection.

Then someone started to stir up controversy, saying why the two of them didn't have to participate in the selection, was it because they had a more powerful background? Different rumors were spread, anyway, they were mainly aimed at the two of them, which could cause dissatisfaction among other students who wanted to register.

But this time, before anyone could start questioning or making a fuss, the official soon released another announcement, listing the achievements Song Chu and Gu Yue had made during the time they entered university.

Not only did they both tie for top spot in the national college entrance exam, they also both published articles in internationally renowned magazines. These two points alone were enough to defeat everyone.

Then the two of them had a lot of research projects and patents for sale, which looked quite impressive.

There were people who wanted to question it, but now they are completely silent.

Such talented people are indeed qualified to be selected directly, they simply cannot compare to them.

When Lu Yijie first saw the announcement that the two were exempt from selection, he immediately arranged for someone to set the pace. He is an expert in this regard.

As for whether Song Chu and Gu Yue would find out and what they would do to him, he no longer cared. He just wanted revenge.

Recently in the Investment Promotion Office, all his limelight has been stolen by Sheng Qingyang, and the key is that that guy keeps suppressing him.

He didn't know what was said about him behind his back, but he found himself being rejected and alienated by his colleagues, and he hated both Song Chu and Sheng Qingyang.

Lu Wanying knew what her brother had done, "Brother, did you ask someone to lead the pace in Kyoto this time?"

"Yes, this time it's not just the students from Kyoto Agricultural University. If all the students from other colleges who want to participate in the selection competition are not convinced and make a fuss, I'll see what they will do and whether they will deal with the troublemakers."

Just as Lu Yijie finished speaking, the phone at home rang and he walked over to answer it.

After hanging up the phone, his expression changed and became very gloomy.

Seeing this, Lu Wanying asked carefully: "Brother, what happened?"

Lu Yijie raised his hand and pinched his brows, "The official came out to refute the rumor and announced all of Song Chu and Gu Yue's recent achievements."

In this case, all his previous arrangements would be in vain.

Lu Wanying's face also turned ugly. She said unwillingly, "How could this happen? The authorities actually came out to refute the rumor. This speed is too fast."

In the past, after the official confirmed the list and announced it, they would not come out to refute the rumors, and would even post the results of Song Chu and others specifically.

Song Chu escaped again this time, and she was very depressed.

Lu Yijie's expression kept changing. "This is troublesome. It seems that the higher-ups are taking next month's competition very seriously, so they came out to refute the rumors."

If we investigate who is behind this, we will most likely find that it is his uncle.

"Then what should we do? Are we just going to watch Song Chu come to the fore again?" Lu Wanyi dug her nails into the palm of her hand.

"Or maybe someone above has taken action, which will be disadvantageous to us." He warned unwillingly.

The Gu family had been suppressing the Lu family before, so he was called in by the elders in the family and given a lecture.

This time he suspected that other people might have also taken action, because Song Chu's continuous achievements in the research field attracted great attention from the higher-ups.

This is also the reason why he wanted to use this incident to defeat Song Chu, and he didn't want her to soar to the sky.

Lu Wanying overturned the things on the table and said, "Brother, I can't swallow this."

Then she looked at him with a wronged expression, "You and uncle must help me get rid of this anger."

Otherwise she would be a joke in Kyoto. She heard that many people ridiculed her behind her back.

At this moment, Lu Yijie couldn't help feeling a little unhappy when he saw his beloved sister not behaving like a lady at all and asking him to deal with Song Chu.

The reason he took action against Song Chu was all because of his sister. Now he was suppressed by Sheng Qingyang at work, and his uncle was also suppressed every other day. Even his orders were snatched away by Gu Yue's friends several times.

They paid such a huge price, but not only did they fail to bring Song Chu down, they were also hit hard by him.

"I'll help you vent your anger, but not now." He said with some anger in his tone.

Lu Wanying's heart skipped a beat when she saw this. She rarely saw her brother get angry. "I, I understand."

But what happened next was completely out of their control and beyond their imagination.

The person who led the plot was arrested, and this time the people behind the scenes were directly interrogated, and Lu Yijie's uncle was even arrested.

Then his uncle's company was asked to be thoroughly investigated by the higher-ups.

Lu Yijie was shocked when he heard the news, and the Lu family hurriedly looked for someone to see if they could find a way to stop the investigation.

But this time the higher-ups were very tough, and soon many problems were discovered in Uncle Lu Yijie's company, which was even involved in economic crimes.

His uncle was arrested and never released, and his company was also closed down.

Even people from the Lu family were called in for questioning several times. Lu Yijie did a lot of small things, and no matter how careful he was, there would be traces, so he was also caught.

The person under investigation was taken away and suspended from his job. He was also suspected of spreading rumors and committing economic crimes.

When he was taken away, Lu Yijie knew that he was finished. He never expected that he would capsize.

If it wasn't done by Gu Yue and others, he would have written the word Lu upside down.

He couldn't help but vent his anger on Lu Wanying. He really shouldn't have spoiled her so much, and in the end she got into such a big trouble.

He regretted even more that he should not have listened to Lu Wanying's instigation this time and asked others to lead the rhythm, trying to ruin Song Chu's reputation and prevent her from participating in the final competition. This was a single misstep that would lead to eternal regret.

After Lu Yijie was taken away, Lu Wanying was slapped several times by her father at home, and was forced to marry a divorced man who was nearly 40 years old.

Lu Wanying wanted to resist, but this time no one in the family would pamper or depend on her.

What's more, even the elders of the Lu family hated her. If she hadn't provoked Song Chu and willfully instigated Lu Yijie and the other man to deal with Song Chu, the two of them would never have been taken away and got into trouble.

This incident dealt an extremely heavy blow to the Lu family. They were unable to recover in a short period of time, and it even accelerated their decline.
