In April 2010, on Qingming Festival, a grand ancestral worship ceremony was underway in Dahonggou Village.

Clan culture should have been most prevalent in the south, but in Dahonggou Village in the northeast, an extremely strong clan culture has also emerged.

The Wang family is the most powerful family to emerge in Northeast China in recent decades.

It could even be said that the Wang family has been among the top three in China over the past half-century.

Not to mention their unity, the key point is that the Wang family is truly powerful.

The family with the most members is Wang Jianchao's. He is about the same age as Wang Duoyu, and he has a total of 23 sons and 29 daughters.

The eldest son is married and has three children.

Therefore, Wang Jianchao's family has a population of nearly one hundred people.

It was enormous.

Wang Duoyu's family, with a total of just twenty members, can't even come close to Wang Jianchao's.

After the firecrackers stopped, the descendants gathered around the ancestral graves to pay their respects to their ancestors.

This grave is where Wang Duoyu's parents are buried; the elderly couple are buried together.

Sharing the same bed in life and the same grave in death is one of the life pursuits of many couples, and Liu Xiaoli is very envious of it.

I had mentioned this to Wang Duoyu more than once before, but he always interrupted my reverie:

"While you're still young, live life to the fullest and see more of the world, instead of thinking about these trivial things. You're not even sixty yet, and you're already thinking about how to bury yourself?"

One sentence was enough to break Liu Xiaoli's defenses.

She never mentioned those words again after that, but she would still feel envious every year when she paid respects to her ancestors.

"Uncle Jiu, are we going hunting again this year?"

After the ancestral worship ceremony, on the way back, Wang Jianchao approached and asked.

It's Qingming Festival now. In Guangzhou, people can already wear two layers of clothing, but in Harbin, the temperature is around zero, and heating is still running normally.

A six-month hibernation period is no joke.

Therefore, the real spring hunt begins after April.

Wang Duoyu pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, let's go for a walk and clear our heads."

Before Wang Jianchao could even feel happy, Wang Duoyu continued, "But instead of going north, we'll go hunting in Africa."

He hadn't been to the Somali Peninsula in a long time and planned to take advantage of this vacation to travel around.

After arriving home, he invited Liu Xiaoli to go with him, but she didn't want to go abroad; she wanted to go to Jiuzhaigou and northern Xinjiang.

"Then I'll go with you to Jiuzhaigou first, and then I'll go to the Somali Peninsula later."

Two weeks later, Wang Duoyu and Liu Xiaoli returned to Guangzhou in the south from the northern border region, intending to meet Wang Yifei's boyfriend Fang Zongxi and his family there.

Wang Duoyu had originally planned to go to the Somali Peninsula, but just a week ago, Wang Yifei suddenly called to say that she couldn't hide it anymore and wanted to get married because she was pregnant.

So hurry up and meet the parents and get married.

When Wang Duoyu first heard the news, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

After all, Wang Yifei is his beloved daughter, and now she's getting married.

He knew this day would come sooner or later, and he even personally pushed Wang Yifei to get married so quickly. But as the day was really approaching, he felt complicated and somewhat restless.

What he least expected was that Wang Yifei was going to get married because she was pregnant. Why was she in such a hurry all of a sudden?
Come to think of it, it was really the result of his urging.

Firstly, Wang Yifei's relationship with Fang Zongxi was stable. After returning from the moon, she had several heart-to-heart talks with her father and then decided to go back and confront Fang Zongxi.

Fang Zongxi was initially very surprised to learn that Wang Yifei's father was Wang Duoyu, but he quickly accepted it.

This also explains why Wang Yifei was able to travel to the moon so quickly and return to Earth so quickly.

Wang Yifei is indeed very lucky to have such an amazing father.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Yifei made the astonishing statement that he should marry into the Wang family, leaving Fang Zongxi speechless.

In fact, Wang Yifei had already mentioned this on the day Fang Zongxi confessed his feelings, and he had agreed at the time.

After that, Fang Zongxi worked very hard. He believed that he was no less capable than others, especially not much worse than Wang Yifei.

As a result, the two had only been dating for a short time when, as their relationship deepened, Fang Zongxi suddenly became numb.

Wang Yifei was the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Heilongjiang Province. This did not put pressure on Fang Zongxi; he simply thought she was very outstanding.

But Wang Yifei had already become a pop diva during her middle school years, which is really amazing.

Most importantly, she is also an investment genius who has earned billions of RMB.

Moreover, in 2008, Wang Yifei earned more than two billion US dollars through investments during the financial crisis.

This quickly made Wang Yifei's personal fortune exceed 10 billion RMB, making her the youngest female billionaire in China.

Although Fang Zongxi is not short of money and has several million in personal savings, it is outrageous that such a billionaire, who is worth billions, still keeps most of his money in cash.

Even someone as proud as him once despaired. How could he possibly surpass Wang Yifei? How could he possibly get her to change her mind and not mention marrying into his family when he proposed?
Talk my ass!
Now Wang Yifei has taken the lead and played her trump card in the marriage game: My father is Wang Duoyu!

This completely shattered all of Fang Zongxi's illusions.

Who is Wang Duoyu?
That was a symbolic mark of an era. Starting in 1982, Wang Duoyu was the emperor of the global mathematics community, and later won the Fields Medal four times.

Conventions are meant to be broken, and the rules are set by Wang Duoyu.

Just like Franklin Roosevelt, isn't the maximum term for a US president two terms? Haha, Roosevelt was elected president four times by voters and the wealthy, serving as president for thirteen years.

Of course, if he hadn't died of a cerebral hemorrhage, Roosevelt might have been elected president for five more terms.

In Fang Zongxi's mind, Wang Duoyu was much more impressive than Roosevelt because he had access to a world far more extensive than the average person.

The Longxiao stealth fighter jet, the domestically produced XF1995 passenger jet, the Dawning supercomputer, the Galaxy supercomputer, the lunar base project, and the Chang'e series of spacecraft—these pinnacle technologies of humankind all bear the mark of Wang Duoyu.

It's possible that it was all built under Wang Duoyu's supervision.

There are even many hidden research projects that Fang Zongxi is unaware of.

Therefore, it seems that having Fang Zongxi marry into the Wang family is not an impossible option.

However, he is ultimately a man. Even though he has two older brothers and the Fang family has no heir to the throne, the reason why Wang Yifei asked him to marry into the family is probably because the Wang family really does have an heir to the throne.

Silence is Cambridge tonight.

After a long silence, Fang Zongxi finally spoke and asked, "Qianqian, are you still hiding something from me? I want to ask you, if I really marry into your Wang family, will our child be caught up in the power struggle among the princes?"

"You're overthinking it!" Wang Yifei rolled her eyes at him. "I can't tell you the specifics right now. I need my father's permission before I can be honest with you."

"But don't worry, my father will definitely do a good job of screening, and there will only be healthy competition, not vicious competition."

"As for the specifics of how to supervise and manage it, even I am not very clear about it."

The Nuwa AI system is no secret within the Want Want Group, but besides that, Wang Duoyu also has a regulatory body: Long Kui!

The organization Longkui was unknown to everyone in the entire Want Want Group except for Wang Duoyu himself. Even senior executives like Zheng Baoyin and Wang Jianchao were unaware of Longkui.

Of course, they knew that Wang Duoyu had additional regulatory agencies under his control, but they didn't know which ones specifically.

Fang Zongxi fell silent again. As a man, he, like most men, believed that marrying into a family was shameful, even if Wang Yifei was a celestial being.

But Wang Yifei has now played her trump card; he either has to agree or he's out.

How to do?
In the end, reason prevailed, and he agreed.

He would go crazy if he gave Wang Yifei, such a beautiful girl, to another man.

Moreover, they were each other's first love, so even if he married into the family, it wouldn't have a big impact on him.

After agreeing, Wang Yifei sped things up and quickly got the marriage certificate.

In this respect, she is much better than her mother was back then.

Back then, her mother, Liu Xiaoli, did not register their marriage, but simply followed Wang Duoyu and had children with him.

But Wang Yifei wouldn't do such a thing; she would be licensed to do it.

They got their marriage certificate, but their parents haven't even met yet—that's really something.

Secondly, Wang Yifei had previously discussed childbirth with her father at the lunar base.

Even though the lunar base is inside the base and appears to be protected by walls and other barriers that block large amounts of cosmic rays and radiation, no one can actually guarantee that it will be 100% safe.

So after Wang Yifei and Fang Zongxi got their marriage certificate, they began various preparations.

Although both parties underwent a full physical examination before registering their marriage, it was not related to fertility.

Both are astronauts, and physical examinations are simply part of their daily work, something that cannot be avoided.

Wang Yifei originally thought she wouldn't get pregnant so easily, because the chances of a normal, healthy couple getting pregnant naturally are only a few percent.

Well, college students are an exception, because the chance of a college student getting pregnant is one thousand percent.

Wang Yifei forgot that she was still very young, only twenty-three years old this year. Fang Zongxi was also not old, just two years older than Wang Yifei. Both of them were young, so they quickly became pregnant.

This forced them to move up their wedding plans, which were originally intended to be postponed until the second half of the year.

In Guangzhou, at the Wang family villa on Ersha Island in the Pearl River, Wang Duoyu and his family were watching Wang Yifei and Fang Zongxi.

The family never expected Wang Yifei to get married because she was pregnant; it was too bold of them.

As for?
"Sissi, what are you thinking? Why did you suddenly change your mind like this?"

Liu Xiaoli was still in disbelief, but her daughter was already in this state, and she was still holding a confirmation of pregnancy from an internal astronaut hospital examination.

"Sister Xiaoli, that's how it is, what else can you do?"

Wang Yifei stammered, not daring to tell the truth, because she had misjudged the situation.

After all, pregnancy is something that can't be predicted.

The only thing to blame is the fear her father expressed at the lunar base, which made her less confident.

Fang Zongxi promised to treat Wang Yifei well in the future, reassuring Wang Duoyu, Wang Junhong, and their sons.

Moreover, he will live at home from now on, since he agreed to marry into the family.

"Well, as long as you two young people live a good life, that's fine." Wang Duoyu didn't say much more. "Qianqian has been spoiled by us since she was little. If she bullies you, just tell us, and we'll stand up for you."

"After we meet your parents tomorrow, we'll find some time to talk in detail later."

The next day, Wang Duoyu's family finally met with Fang Zongxi's family, and the meeting was quite harmonious.

However, Fang Zongxi's father was not very happy about his son's choice to marry into the family, but thankfully he didn't show it.

Fang Zongxi is clearly the pride of the Fang family and should definitely be included in the family genealogy. What a pity!
The Fang family was just a rural family in their area, not a large clan.

Although Fang Zongxi was fortunate enough to emerge, if he wanted to reach the level of the Wang family, he would need to be reborn with a cheat code; nothing else would work.

After the meal, the wedding arrangements for Wang Yifei and Fang Zongxi were finalized.

However, out of respect for Fang Zongxi, they only announced the wedding to the public and did not say that he was marrying into the family.

Anyway, after they get married, it's the two of them who will live their lives together; everything else is secondary.

Since Wang Yifei is already six months pregnant, the wedding was expedited, and the date was set for May 16th, which is an auspicious day for weddings, travel, moving, marriage compatibility, engagements, etc.

The week after the wedding date was set, Wang Duoyu held a family meeting in his study villa at Harbin Institute of Technology.

Fang Zongxi was completely blown away when he participated for the first time.

Besides Fang Zongxi, his three daughters-in-law, Huang Huiru, Dai Junzhu, and Guan Xin, also participated. Bai Doufu was also exceptionally allowed to participate.

Liu Xiaoli was also invited to join the family meeting.

It wasn't until this moment that Liu Xiaoli realized that Want Want Group's global assets were not the hundreds of billions of dollars it appeared to be, but a vast business empire worth trillions of dollars.

Wang Duoyu sat in the main seat and said:

"I will probably retire completely around the age of seventy, at which point I will devote myself entirely to the management of the Want Want Group. All my children are eligible to compete for the position of successor to the Want Want Group, but for my daughter to participate, her husband must marry into the family, and the child must take the surname Wang."

"Dad, are you sure you're not mistaken? Are you going to retire at seventy? Shouldn't retirement be at sixty?"

The white tofu raised a question.

If Wang Duoyu doesn't retire until he's seventy, and only begins to fully dedicate himself to the management of the Want Want Group after that age, then what's the point of cultivating a successor?

After all, Wang Duoyu is only fifty-four years old this year, and there are still sixteen years until he turns seventy. After he retires, it will be several years before he can completely hand over the reins to the so-called 'successor'.

In other words, it seems this heir will be the crown prince for many years.

Dry!
"Don't worry about it!" Wang Duoyu said.
"If I really retired completely, I would go crazy. I would definitely want to find something to do. Besides, it's popular to be rehired these days. So even if I retire at sixty, I won't retire completely. Besides, I'm still young."

Even if he were 94, let alone 54, he would still be young.

Some people are seventy years old, but they still look so young on the surface, and their mentality is also very young.

This is not something that everyone can learn.

Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but advise, "Duoyu, you're still very young, but didn't you promise to take me on a trip around China? If you don't retire until you're seventy, then I'll be almost seventy! Will I still be able to walk around then?"

"Why can't you walk anymore?"

Wang Duoyu said:

"Alright, stop making a fuss. I know my own body, and yours is, well, very healthy too. Anyway, we have so many grandchildren now, and Sisi is pregnant too."

Liu Xiaoli is now so capable that it feels like she can't keep up with everyone.

If Bai Doufu also finds a husband to marry into her family, then Liu Xiaoli will be even more unable to manage.

After today's family meeting, Wang Duoyu believes that his three daughters-in-law, Huang Huiru, Dai Junzhu, and Guan Xin, definitely have more ideas, and they will surely want to have a few more sons.

There's no way around it, the Want Want Group is just too big. Even if you just randomly split off one percent of its shares, that would be hundreds of billions of dollars in assets.

Even so, Wang Duoyu concealed some things. After all, Want Want Group will continue to develop in the future, and the continuous updates of the Nuwa AI system will definitely be able to occupy a dominant position in terms of technology, forming a dimensional reduction attack on the enemy.

A family meeting lasted for more than three hours.

That night, Wang Duoyu slept soundly, but Liu Xiaoli, who was next to him, couldn't sleep.

Like her, Dai Junzhu, Huang Huiru, Guan Xin, Bai Doufu, and Fang Zongxi were also suffering from insomnia. It was because it was the first time for all five of them to attend a family meeting.

This was the first time the main members of the Wang family had learned about their wealth, and Wang Duoyu had repeatedly warned them to keep it a secret, and even made them all sign confidentiality agreements.

This is not something to be taken lightly.

This is one of the reasons why Wang Duoyu has not yet revealed the Super Dollar Factory to Wang Junhong and the others.

Success is achieved in secrecy, failure is caused by leaks!
Time flies, and May 16th arrives—the wedding day of Wang Yifei and Fang Zongxi.

The wedding was held in Harbin because the temperature there was relatively pleasant in mid-May; if it had been held in Guangzhou, it would have been too hot and humid.

Many guests came on the wedding day, and the scene was quite lively.

After the wedding, Wang Yifei entered pregnancy-preserving mode and temporarily resigned from her astronaut training.

Guan Xin became pregnant before June had even begun.

In July, Dai Junzhu also became pregnant.

However, Huang Huiru did not conceive until November, when Wang Yifei was about to give birth.

The Wang family is about to experience a population explosion, which is one of the biggest impacts of the family meeting held that day.

The whole family's mindset remained unchanged. Wang Duoyu would not allow them to develop an arrogant and extravagant attitude. Anyone who dared to do so would be taught a lesson immediately.

Wang Duoyu had specifically discussed this matter at the family meeting that day.

A family can have its share of lazy people, but negative behaviors such as comparison and competition must not occur. Obeying the law is a must, and following the rules is inevitable.

Otherwise, if everyone breaks the rules and uses underhanded tactics in the competition for the Want Want Group's successor, it could lead to serious trouble.

As December approaches, Wang Yifei has finally given birth to a son.

The following year, the Wang family had five more children, as Dai Junzhu and Guan Xin each gave birth to a pair of twins.

Before they knew it, it was 2016. Wang Duoyu's family had grown exceptionally large, with a bunch of little kids.

At the age of sixty, Wang Duoyu was about to retire, but his retirement application was rejected as soon as it was submitted.

Harbin Institute of Technology desperately needs Wang Duoyu.

The next day, the Party Secretary, the Principal, and several leaders from Beijing all spoke with Wang Duoyu, hoping that he could be rehired.

Yes, they don't want Wang Duoyu to retire completely. Even if he has reached the legal retirement age, they still don't want him to retire.

Moreover, Wang Duoyu looks very healthy, and his appearance is more like that of a young man in his late twenties than a sixty-year-old man.

Ugh!
Then let's get back to work.

So he continued to live in the villa on the island in the middle of the lake, but the Wang family ancestral land had to be moved, and they could no longer occupy the island in the middle of the lake belonging to the school.

Next to Harbin Institute of Technology, there is a private garden. Although it is not very large, it still covers an area of ​​2.8 square kilometers.

That's equivalent to 4,200 mu (approximately 280 hectares), which is about the size of a university in China.

This private garden is the ancestral home of the Wang family in Harbin, but not many people live here now.

As long as Wang Duoyu is still alive, he will never completely move out of the island in the middle of the lake at Harbin Institute of Technology.

"Dad, you're sixty years old, and you still have ten years before you retire?"

Wang Duoyu smiled at Bai Doufu's words but remained silent.

He's going to live to be over a hundred years old; the future holds endless possibilities!

The End!!!
