Chapter 17 A genius is a genius in the eyes of those who are far away from him
Huo Wenyi almost choked on his wine.
He really didn't expect Jiang Qia to say such a thing.
Huo Wenyi glanced at Jiang Qia and said, "Be honest and choose carefully."
Jiang Qia looked at them one by one.
When he was a star in the original world, Jiang Qia really thought he was very powerful and belonged to a high-income group.
Although she has not yet reached the top of 2.08w, or even 1.08w, she still feels very lucky.
Now I know what a truly wealthy person is.
The rich and powerful dared to write about it in their novels, but Jiang Qia didn’t even dare to think about it.
Jiang Qia looked around and finally returned to Huo Wenyi's side: "Mr. Huo, have you ever thought about..."
Huo Wenyi raised his eyes: "What have you thought about?"
Jiang Qia shrugged. "The old man has seen everything in his life. He doesn't like expensive things like this. Perhaps he values the thought more."
Jiang Qia and Huo Wenyi mentioned these things because they wanted to see Huo Wenyi's specific attitude.
In the original text, from the author to the readers, everyone has a complicated attitude towards Huo Wenyi.
On the one hand, she admires his strength, but on the other hand, she hates Huo Wenyi's cruelty.
Because Huo Wenyi tortured the protagonist's family so badly, when the work was serialized, many readers flooded the screen with messages such as "Hurry up and get the villain offline" and "Dare to torture our Huo Xiulin, let him die without a burial place."
Many readers think that Huo Wenyi is a deep-minded person and the reason he chose to return to the Huo family is because he covets the Huo family’s property.
Even though the Huo family group still used the patented technology left by Huo Wenyi's parents to obtain a steady stream of profits.
Just because Huo Wenyi had been living outside for many years and had become cold and evil, and was no match for Huo Xiulin, a young man who grew up in a wealthy family and was the center of attention, Huo Wenyi deserved to die outside.
Huo Wenyi frowned: "Intentions? Aren't they all the same?"
Jiang Qia said, "Boss Huo, think about it, on your birthday, would you rather get a check for one million, or a scarf knitted for you by the person you love?"
Jiang Qia knew that any normal person would choose one million.
So, before Huo Wenyi could answer, Jiang Qia was the first to respond: "Of course it's a scarf knitted by the person you love. How thoughtful it is! Carrying the warmth of your loved one is a thousand times better than a cold check!"
Huo Wenyi said: "I have never celebrated my birthday."
Jiang Qia didn't react at first.
Then, Jiang Qia suddenly thought that he probably didn't know his specific birthday before returning to the Huo family.
What can we expect a child who was lost among the crowd, trafficked, abandoned, and finally adopted by an orphanage to remember?
He couldn't even remember the prosperity and wealth of his childhood.
It seems that I only remember that I was born to suffer.
Jiang Qia asked: "When is your birthday?"
"I don't know." Huo Wenyi looked indifferent. "No one has mentioned it."
Even after returning to the Huo family, his parents were gone and no one took the initiative to talk about what he liked in his childhood or when his birthday was.
Jiang Qia suddenly felt a little regretful.
She felt that she shouldn't bring up this topic with Huo Wenyi.
Maybe it will reveal his sad past.
This is no different from rubbing salt into his scars.
"I think the scarf is nice, too. It's very thoughtful." Huo Wenyi said, "A check for one million is too little."
Huo Wenyi is worth hundreds of billions of yuan and owns a technology group with a market value of over 500 billion yuan. His R&D centers are spread across various cities.
One million is just a few minutes' income for Huo Wenyi now.
But when he was young, he wore thin clothes even in the cold winter and never wore a scarf.
Jiang Qia said shamelessly: "I don't mind if it's too little, then can you give me one million?"
Huo Wenyi pinched her face and said, "Dream on."
To be honest, Jiang Qia would never dare to dream of such a beautiful thing.
Jiang Qia said, "Then I'll go home tonight and knit a scarf for Grandpa myself to show our love."
Huo Wenyi nodded: "Okay."
Huo Wenyi has complicated feelings about the Huo family.
He hated Huo Xiulin and his parents.
If it weren't for Huo Xiulin's mother, Huo Wenyi wouldn't have experienced so many things over the years.
However, Mr. Huo has been trying hard to invite Huo Wenyi to return to the Huo family.
Moreover, Mr. Huo also told Huo Wenyi many things about his parents.
It was not until Mr. Huo took the initiative to recognize him that Huo Wenyi realized that the people who abandoned him and sent him to the welfare home were not his biological parents.
If they were his biological parents, they would never abandon him.
Huo Wenyi will fulfill his responsibilities to his grandparents, his extremely close relatives by blood.
Jiang Qia asked, "Mr. Huo, what kind of person do you think the old man is?"
Huo Wenyi said: "Strict, cold on the outside but warm on the inside, the chairman of the Huo family who is now in power, my relative."
Mr. Huo’s image outside is indeed majestic and tall. If you don’t spend much time with him, you will feel that he is an elder who is serious on the outside but kind on the inside.
Jiang Qia asked tentatively: "Does the old man favor his eldest son more, or his youngest son?"
A soft glint flashed in Huo Wenyi's eyes: "He said that my father is a genius and is his proudest son."
In the novel setting, Huo Wenyi's IQ is inherited from his parents.
His parents are extremely talented. Both of them are scientific researchers protected by the country and have contributed a lot of technical efforts to the country and the Huo family group.
Both of them are characters written about in university professional books. If you get to know them in depth, you will know how many precious achievements these two people have left behind in their young lives.
However, Huo Xiulin's father was somewhat uneducated and, like other rich young masters, squandered his wealth and indulged in women.
To outsiders, the two sons are very different, so it is normal for Mr. Huo to favor his eldest son with a superior IQ.
Jiang Qia looked at Huo Wenyi's rare softening expression, and for some reason, he felt a little depressed.
She has a God's perspective and clearly understands some of the descriptions in the original text.
In the original text, Mr. Huo did not have deep feelings for his eldest son and even thought he was a freak.
A genius is a genius in the eyes of those who are far away from him.
However, in the eyes of people around them, a genius may be a freak with extremely high IQ but low EQ and no interest at all.
Although the younger son does not have such great abilities and idles away his time all day, he can say all kinds of sweet words to please his parents.
Moreover, the original text describes Huo Wenyi's father as a "human computer", "interest desert" and "nerd".
Huo Xiulin's father was described as suave, charming, and a "romantic prince."
Huo Wenyi is such a smart person, but he believed what Mr. Huo said so easily.
I don’t know whether he really believed it or was deceiving himself and his family in his heart.
To the point that they believe in some easily debunked rhetoric.
