From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 452 Hui… no, Mr. Fordman

The afterglow of the setting sun turned the dust golden and illuminated Mrs. Fordman's face, which trembled slightly with excitement, and her moist eyes.

“Whitney… this… this is all true?” She gripped her son’s arm tightly, as if afraid he would disappear at any moment. “Umbrella Corporation? That… that Apple phone that they talk about on TV every day? You made it? And… shareholders? CTO? Oh my god, is this really true…” She choked up, overwhelmed by immense joy and disbelief.

“It’s true.” Whitney looked at Mrs. Fordman and said gently, “You won’t have to worry about the farm loan anymore. We’ll repair the house and get new farm machinery. Smallwell… will be different too.”

He gazed at the distant, rolling cornfields and the silhouette of the town in the twilight, a red glint flashing in his eyes.

Everything will be different.

Umbrella Corporation

This is a high-tech company that was founded in the metropolis a year ago. The company's chairman, Winston Harold, is rumored to be from an old British aristocratic family and to have some blood relation with the old Queen.

These are all true.

The technology in this world is at the beginning of the 20th century. The influence of aliens has not yet been revealed. Even Luther Corporation is mainly engaged in the chemical industry. The Internet age has not yet truly begun. Karakhai arrived with Jarvis and Red. Therefore, it is still a very easy thing to forge a person's identity and fix their blood relationship.

Winston Harold, a Highlander from Earth-38, was the most thoroughly brainwashed by Kevin, his mind imprinted with his will. In the world of Earth-38, he possessed noble blood and an extraordinary blood relationship with the British royal family, similar to the relationship between William Wallace and Princess Isabella in Braveheart. Through a similar but even deeper relationship, he changed the bloodline of the British royal family...

Although this blood relationship exists in a different world, Karakhai's tests have confirmed that it is indeed real.

Therefore, his identity has been confirmed both in terms of social relationships and in a physical sense.

It was precisely because of this that when he appeared in the United States as an old European with deep pockets and founded Umbrella Corporation, the company developed very rapidly. In particular, six months ago, the company released a groundbreaking product, the Apple iPhone, which directly propelled the communications market into the era of smart technology, creating a huge storm in the market. It was also thanks to the Apple iPhone that Umbrella Corporation joined the ranks of top-tier companies. Whitney, as the designer and program developer of the Apple iPhone, exchanged his technology for shares in the Apple iPhone, became the technical director of the company, and joined the board of directors of the mobile phone company, establishing a persona of genius.

Whitney Fordman, a gifted young woman from a small town, rose to become a star in the entire nation of beacons of light, a representative of the beacon dream, through her intelligence and extraordinary creativity.

Whitney had no intention of hiding this news; in fact, such things couldn't be hidden anyway.

The next morning, as the sun had just dispelled the town's mist, the gates of Smallwell High School became the eye of the storm for the entire American media.

Starting from the town's only main road, various satellite broadcasting vans and news vans bearing the logos of various television stations (KGAN, WGBS, CNN, etc.) crowded the roadside like cumbersome beetles, even encroaching on the muddy ground at the edge of some cornfields. The disc-shaped antennas on the roofs stood tall, like a steel jungle.

Most of the cars were sedans and SUVs from metropolitan areas or even further afield, with out-of-state license plates and dark tinted windows. Reporters, photographers, assistants, curious onlookers... the crowd completely blocked the already narrow road in front of the school gate. The blaring of horns, the roar of idling engines, and the shouts mingled together, shattering the town's usual tranquility.

Whitney drove along a narrow street that had been squeezed into a single lane, while Lana, sitting beside her, still looked somewhat dazed. Clearly, she hadn't recovered from the mind-blowing events of yesterday.

"Lana, don't think too much about it. I've just awakened a powerful ability. I'm still the same person I always was."

That's true. Whitney's ex-girlfriend was Zoe, and he only got together with Lana after he arrived. He wasn't familiar with Lana before, so in Lana's eyes, he hadn't changed at all.

“I…I just…” Lana thought for a moment, not knowing what to say. After all, Whitney hadn’t hidden anything from her about this matter. It was just that the matter was too strange, making it difficult for her to calm down in a short time.

"Huh? Why are there so many cars on the road today?"

“You finally figured it out. I thought you’d be sleepwalking to school forever,” Whitney laughed. “All of this must be for me.”

"For you? Could it be..." Lana's expression changed instantly. Thinking of what happened after school yesterday, could it be that Whitney's secret had been discovered? "I passed the teacher's test and officially became a member of the Sith. And these people are here for the results of my hard work over the past year," Whitney said. As she spoke, the vintage car finally arrived at the school gate. At this moment, some sharp-eyed reporters spotted Whitney in the car and immediately swarmed over.

"Alright, get out of the car. I'll explain later!" Whitney said, parking the car. The two of them got out, and as soon as they did, reporters swarmed around them.

"Whitney! Look this way!"

"Mr. Fordman! Can you talk about what it's like to be a billionaire?"

Whitney! What is your timeline for the specific implementation of the "Umbrella Program" in Smallville?

"There are rumors that Lex Luthor is very interested in your technology. Would you consider collaborating with him?"

"Whitney! What's your secret to success? Give some advice to young people across the country!"

........................

…………

Reporters swarmed around him, bombarding Whitney with questions. Whitney, with a deliberately crafted, simple, and slightly nervous smile typical of small-town youth, said thank you and, with the help of school security, "laboriously" made his way through the crowd and into the school.

The reporters only quieted down a bit after Whitney pulled Lana out of the school. However, they didn't disperse because they hadn't gotten any news. Instead, they showed professional ethics by standing guard at the school gate, keeping an eye on the students coming to school. It didn't matter if they couldn't interview the main character, they could still get a story by interviewing his classmates.

As a result, the students of Smallville became the most confused group, not understanding why the school was like this so early in the morning. Had a shooting occurred?
Pete and Chloe, dressed in Smallwell School uniforms, were blinded by the flashing lights as soon as they got off the school bus. Pete instinctively tried to strike a pose, but Chloe grabbed him and forced him to mouth an exaggerated "OMG" to the camera. Clark Kent, usually low-key, tried to pull his hat brim low and squeeze through the crowd, but a reporter's microphone nearly poked him in the face, forcing him to duck and squeeze through awkwardly.

Titan, an underground base.

Karaka propped his legs up on the table, a hint of disdain flashing across his face as he looked at the chaotic scene of the media surrounding Whitney outside Smallwell High School on the huge holographic screen in front of him.

"A suddenly rising genius tycoon's influence across the entire Lighthouse is like a shooting star, but in a small town like Smallville, it's enough to create a force that changes the old order. This town is now the core of this Earth, a place where fortunes converge. Whoever controls this place can influence the course of the next ten years." Kevin's voice echoed in my mind.

"Of course I know that, you don't need to remind me. I just find it annoying," Karaka said with a dark face. "And Winston, are you sure he can handle the whole situation?"

“I certainly believe that Winston is not outstanding among the Highlanders, but he has the most imaginative mind.”

Karakhai's expression stiffened, and finally, he forced a smile. "Indeed, his imagination is..."

Who would have thought that a Highlander from the Scottish Highlands would seduce an English princess, and not just once, but for more than one generation, actually replacing the English royal bloodline with his own Scottish bloodline?

I really wouldn't dare use someone like this unless they've been thoroughly brainwashed by illusions and the Force, and have their mind imprinted on them!
“Mr. Hui Fordman, the principal requests your presence in his office.”

Squeezing into the school, I hadn't walked more than a few steps when I saw Mrs. Lanny, the principal's secretary, walking towards me with a beaming smile.

“You go to the classroom first, I’m going to see the headmaster.” Whitney patted Lana’s hand and gave her a reassuring smile.
