The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology

Under the blazing sun, it was the hottest time of the year, the dog days of summer, and the temperature was exceptionally high.

Training ground at a base in the North China Plain.

"Attention! Frontal dress! At ease!"

A young man, over 1.8 meters tall, with a wheatish complexion and sweat pouring down his face, didn't seem to care. He gave a solemn speech with a resolute look in his eyes.

"Today we're going to do a 10-kilometer cross-country run with 20 kilograms of weight. The first place winner gets a chicken leg for lunch, and the last place winner gets 200 push-ups!"

"Get going now!"

Wang Junkang, who was in the team, also set off with his comrades, carrying a 20-kilogram pack on his back, and ran towards the destination in formation.

At first, they were able to maintain their formation, but later on, that wasn't the case.

It would be even more impossible to maintain the same formation indefinitely.

As time passed, Wang Junkang had already left the main group dozens of meters behind, but he was not in the lead; there were still six people ahead of him.

However, there is still more than a kilometer to go, and the final outcome is still uncertain.

Sweating profusely, Wang Junkang saw that there were less than 500 meters left and immediately began to sprint, accelerating his run.

He wasn't after winning first place so he could have chicken legs for lunch; he wanted the honor.

Since entering military training, he has always strived to be the best, showing no intention of shirking or being lazy.

It's important to know that he started at a very high level, and he also had a student status, which made him very different from ordinary soldiers.

But he remained strict with himself.

"Damn, how come Wang Junkang got first place again? Doesn't this kid get tired?"

When the other comrades saw Wang Junkang arrive at the finish line first, their eyes widened in disbelief. Although they were not entirely convinced, they were full of respect for him.

The military reveres the strong, and Wang Junkang is certainly considered one of the strong.

Before he knew it, it was noon, but Wang Junkang hadn't gotten his chicken leg. A special forces training class next door had put forward a team competition, and Wang Junkang's class lost.

In the military, there is a very strong sense of collective consciousness, so there's nothing that can be done about it.

In the evening, Wang Junkang went to the communications room and made a video call home.

"Dad, have my sister's college entrance exam results come out yet?"

Today is the day Wang Yifei checks her college entrance exam results. Wang Junkang also remembered this, so after finishing his work, he made a video call to inquire.

Before Wang Duoyu could even speak, Wang Yifei's large face completely filled the screen, her smile as radiant as a flower:
"Third brother, I'm the top scorer in the province! I'm the top science scorer in our province this year!"

"That's great, how many points did you get?"

"Hehe, Third Brother, I'm not as tall as you, and I scored two points lower than you that year."

"That's really impressive. I heard from Dad that this year's college entrance exam was indeed much harder than ours. Getting this score is already very remarkable!"

Wang Yifei's eyes narrowed into slits, clearly showing her great joy.

The three older brothers in the family seem to be humble, but in reality, this is a sign of pride.

For example, her third brother, I don’t know if it’s because he had cancer when he was a child, but he has always had this personality. He is humble and calm, and you can rarely hear him praising others.

Although her third brother praised her this time, it was most likely because she had just finished taking the college entrance examination.

However, Wang Yifei knew very well that her third brother never praised people easily, so she was indeed very happy to hear him praise her like this.

"Third Brother, when do you have a vacation?"

"Have you forgotten? There are no holidays in the military. Of course, if you come to visit me, I can apply for half a day off."

"Okay, I'll come see you next month, Big Fish. Do you want to come with us?"

Wang Duoyu nodded with a smile, and Liu Xiaoli pulled Wang Yifei aside:
"Get out of here, third brother, have you had dinner yet?"

Liu Xiaoli's expressions changed very quickly. One second she looked disgusted with Wang Yifei, but the next she was all smiles and extremely enthusiastic when she saw Wang Junkang.

The family chatted for almost half an hour before ending their video chat for the day.

Such video calls are not made every day; sometimes they happen once a week, and sometimes not even once a month.

Time flies, and August is almost here.

Ice Age has achieved consecutive weeks at the top of the box office, but now it's almost August and 2th Century Fox's Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones is about to be released.

This is the fifth film in the Star Wars movie series, and it is also directed by George Lucas. The story takes place ten years after The Phantom Menace.

The film's depiction of the unique ecosystems and species on various planets further enhances the appeal of the Star Wars series.

Therefore, this movie poses a very large threat to "Ice Age".

August is already in the middle of the summer movie season, which can be said to be the most golden period of the golden period, and it is a fiercely contested period!
On August 1, Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones was released in more than 4,000 theaters across the United States, and immediately topped the box office charts.

After its opening weekend, it grossed $230 million, which was quite good, but it was surprisingly overtaken by Ice Age to retain its top spot at the box office, leaving Star Wars: Episode II in second place.

Keep in mind, this is already the third week of Ice Age.

terrible!
The movie "Ice Age" was truly amazing, and its box office performance was quite high.

The following week, on August 8th, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" was released, and it grossed $230 million on its opening day.

The news was reported on the front pages of major media outlets around the world, with the CIA, the Federal Reserve, and other institutions once again angrily destroying countless exquisite porcelain pieces.

Such phenomenal box office success left Hollywood directors like George Lucas speechless.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a PG-13 film, a family-friendly popcorn movie, which naturally attracted many children to the cinema.

This film series is indeed a huge treasure trove, just like Jurassic Park, The Lord of the Rings, 007, and the Bourne series, all of which can be explored in depth.

Over its opening weekend, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" grossed $729 million, taking the top spot at the box office.

The global film and entertainment market was shaken.

Such box office revenue is truly astonishing. The following week also saw the release of "Men in Black 2," produced and distributed by Sony Pictures. While also a Hollywood blockbuster, it ultimately fell short.

However, just as Men in Black 2 was being released, in Paris, France, a newspaper called Le Figaro published an article about the ugly deal between counterfeit US dollars and Hollywood blockbusters.

As the newspaper with the largest circulation in France, Le Figaro's article caused an instant sensation after it appeared on the streets.

Why would a French newspaper report such a news story?
Why have all the American newspapers gone silent?

Is there some kind of conspiracy or trickery involved?
Newspapers reported that over three trillion US dollars in counterfeit currency has been issued globally, and that these counterfeit dollars are circulating as if they were genuine!
It's a real cancer!

The newspaper also stated that the counterfeit dollar manufacturing plants are likely located in Russia, and that the counterfeit money is transported through various channels, including timber trade. Hollywood blockbusters are merely one way for this counterfeit money ring to release its currency.

Many ordinary people were shocked after reading the report, but didn't know what to do!
However, the financial markets immediately provided the answer: the US dollar index fell sharply!

From Wall Street to Chicago, and then to cities like Tokyo, London, Hong Kong, and Singapore, global financial markets are experiencing increased volatility.

It was all because of one article!

All the financial companies under the Want Want Group launched a fierce counterattack. This report came very suddenly, causing significant losses to the Want Want Group.

In reality, even the Nuwa AI system failed to investigate this incident, which was actually a large-scale plan orchestrated by the Federal Reserve, Wall Street, and the CIA.

Furthermore, the plan was kept secret only among a select group of high-ranking officials, and no internet communication tools or devices were used, thus eliminating the possibility of it being discovered by Nuwa's artificial intelligence.

In Harbin, at the Harbin Institute of Technology, inside the study villa on the island in the lake, Wang Duoyu is on the phone with Zheng Baoyin.

“Uncle, this is the situation now. I’ve already lost over three hundred million US dollars. Although I managed to cut my losses in time, I had invested too much beforehand, and I thought it would recover, so I didn’t hedge…”

Generally speaking, many financial institutions on Wall Street now hedge their risks to reduce risk.

However, Want Want Group rarely does this because they are consistently successful, and hedging is not suitable for them; on the contrary, it would only reduce their profits.

But I never expected that I would capsize in such a ditch this time!

After hearing this, Wang Duoyu was not surprised, because it was quite normal.

Life is full of disappointments, and Want Want Group has already achieved something remarkable to be where it is today. We shouldn't strive for more.

Life is like a game of chess; once a move is made, there's no going back!

“Baoyin, you’ve made so much money before, it’s normal for you to give some back now. You should give back to society, right?”

Zheng Baoyin was on the verge of tears; what could he do but accept reality?

However, he still raised a question:

"Uncle, do you think they planned this all along? But how exactly did they manage to bypass our intelligence network?"

"Heh, do you really think they're useless? Have you all forgotten the losses you suffered before?"

Wang Duoyu didn't discuss it in detail with them, but told Zheng Baoyin to go back and think about it slowly, and then look for the flaws in it.

In light of this major mistake, the top management of Want Want Group should reflect on their actions.

As Wang Yifei stepped out of the car after leaving the villa, her eyes lit up when she saw her father.
"Big Fish Bro, are you off work too? I just got back from the recording studio. My album is finished recording, hehe, it'll be ready to be sent to the factory for production soon, and it'll be released in a while. Guess how many albums I can sell this time, my triumphant return?"

She has truly made a triumphant return this time, not only because her album is as high-quality as ever, but also because she has won the provincial top score and will be giving a news interview in a few days.

When the news reports it, it will definitely have a very good effect.

"How could I possibly guess? Let Bai Doufu guess for you, she'll be right."

Bai Doufu happily came over, only to be rejected by her sister.

"Big Fish, shall we go see a movie tomorrow? Let's go to an outdoor cinema, it'll be more crowded and lively. The recently released 'Ice Age' is really good, I heard it's best watched in an IMAX theater."

Before Wang Duoyu could even speak after Wang Yifei extended the invitation, Bai Doufu was the first to sign up.

"Okay, let's go see it as a family then," Wang Duoyu agreed with a smile.

Ice Age is a family-friendly movie, but Wang Junxian and Wang Sixin are too young, so let's leave them at their maternal grandparents' house.

The next day, Wang Duoyu and his family went to the cinema to watch a movie. Surprisingly, most of the people who came to watch the movie today were families, and there were not many young couples.

A movie lasts about two hours, and the viewing experience was quite good and lively, a different feeling from watching it at home.

We also have an IMAX theater at home, but the screen is relatively small and there aren't as many people, so the atmosphere is completely different.

Humans are, after all, social animals.

After watching the movie, Bai Doufu kept chattering excitedly, discussing the squirrel that kept trying to take the acorn.

This virtual character is her favorite, and it's also one of the most popular characters among many children.

Even Liu Xiaoli likes it quite a bit, so when she and her two daughters were shopping at the mall, they bought a lot of Ice Age toys.

These toys were all produced by the Magic Child Toys Factory.

A few days later, an interview program on a local Heilongjiang TV station aired, which quickly sparked nationwide discussion.

Wang Yifei, the top science student in her province this summer, has become a sensation.

She didn't reveal her age, but she did reveal that she is the pop diva Liu Qianqian.

How can the top science student in Heilongjiang Province and a pop diva be the same person at the same time?
But that's exactly what happened!
After finishing her college entrance exams, this gifted young woman threw herself into the recording studio and created a new album to commemorate her youth.

The songs on the new album include "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", "Chasing Dreams with a Pure Heart", "The Light Chaser", "The Summer Breeze", "Youth", "The Ordinary Road", "The Days on BJ East Road", "Those Years", "The Fleeting Years", "Running", "Seven Mile Fragrance", and "The You of the Past".

The twelve songs are all classic and beautiful.

With the new album about to be released, and after the news of her becoming the top provincial scorer broke, online discussions about Wang Yifei surged.

Many young people admire her greatly, and many of them were already her fans. They thought she had disappeared for two years and had retired from the music scene, but it turned out she was preparing for the college entrance examination.

The world of geniuses is indeed extraordinary.

The students who, like her, had just finished taking this year's college entrance exams were all excited, clamoring to buy her album. (End of Chapter)
