Chapter 393: 0393 Someone is smarter than me_1

David Wood’s passing caused some disturbance in his former circles, though it wasn’t made public.

Many people were surprised that David Wood, who had been in good health, had died so suddenly, prompting a sigh of lament.

His granddaughter, now so powerful, yet the Wood Family had come to such a state.

"In the end, it’s too heartless."

"After all, the Wood Family showed her kindness at birth, and so coldly indifferent..."

"What are you talking about? She’s made such great achievements, dedicating her life to the country. What does the Wood Family have to do with her?"

"Easy for you to say. She never laid a hand on the Wood Family. Isn’t it because of Edward Wood’s affair that the family is in this mess? This preference for sons over daughters, sigh, is really a huge joke."

Even now, some still believed Ellen Young’s indifference to the Wood Family was heartless, but such remarks were always circulated in private, and nobody dared to openly connect these matters with Ellen Young.

After all, now her influence was such that a mere word might get someone dealt with by those above.

Nevertheless, Ellen Young’s story did shake up the circles.

It’s funny to say, in families similar to the Wood Family, the preference for sons over daughters is not rare.

But most don’t act as excessively as the Wood Family did.

On the surface, there’s no apparent difference between sons and daughters, yet the massive family estate is inherently expected to be inherited by the sons, while daughters are married off, considered fortunate if they can live comfortably and hold a position within the company. Thus, this has become an accepted ideological norm.

This has been passed down for thousands of years; you can’t just erase it.

Only now, with increasing openness, people’s thoughts and concepts are becoming more and more equal.

It’s not about equality, but learning to empathize, no longer presumptuous as before.

Ellen Young’s case also served as a rude awakening for them.

A daughter can become this incredibly renowned, outshining not just men in general but surpassing them. With so many great men in history, now that Ellen Young achieved such greatness as a woman, who would dare to say their daughters are worthless?

What if that sparked resentment?

The actions and reactions of Lucy Wood, as well as Ellen Young’s stance, were quite clear.

The Wood Family has come to this, and the two women refused even to lend a helping hand, being grateful not to kick them while they were down.

As a result, after this event, the tendency to favor sons over daughters in those circles diminished sharply; at least to some extent, even if the daughter were married off, she was always a part of her own family, entitled to what should be hers, or else no one should have any part in it.

Of course, the biggest uproar online right now is the revelation of Ellen Young’s identity.

It’s worth mentioning that even "Lonely Genius," the person Ellen Young knew on WhatsApp, couldn’t help but share the news with her amidst their discussions about Artificial Intelligence.

Lonely Genius:[[Forward]Wow, can you believe how outrageous this is? I can’t believe there’s someone in the world smarter than me.]

Young:[...]

Lonely Genius:[A person this brilliant is just meant to work in AI, right? What’s the use of just focusing on communications technology? The future lies in Artificial Intelligence, it’s a shame not to research AI.]

Young:[Maybe there’s private research going on.]

She pondered how to subtly and appropriately inform the other party that she was Ellen Young.

Lonely Genius:[I don’t know about any private research, but I just want to meet her in person. I can’t believe she’s capable of learning so much at once!]
