Chapter 103: Chapter 103
"Before the start of the semester, Xian’an and I discussed the issue of property distribution. Previously, all of you thought the third child was not qualified to inherit the Rong Family’s assets, but he is a boy of the Rong Family, carrying the Rong Family’s blood. How could he be unqualified!?"
"Moreover, the homeroom teacher of the third child sent me his results for this month’s exam," Rong Fangjun paused, looking at Rong Xian’an, "He did very well in the exam; as his parents, don’t you have anything to say?"
Rong Fangjun truly wanted to restore and soften this family relationship that had frozen to the point of ice.
Both sides of the hand are flesh; whichever is hurt makes him ache.
Rong Xian’an was caught off guard and paused, "I...don’t have Rong Zhi’s homeroom teacher’s contact information; I’m not very clear, Meng Meng, do you know at school?"
Rong Meng pursed her lips, her hand on her knee clenching tightly, yet on her face, she showed a cheerful smile, "Yes, haven’t had the chance to tell Mom and Dad, Little Zhi did very well in the exam this time."
Rong Zhi glanced at her faintly, noticing Rong Meng’s twitching mouth corner, coldly curling his lips.
Ying Man frowned, "Then why didn’t you say so earlier?"
Rong Meng was immediately a bit awkward, glanced at Rong Zhi, bit her lip, "I was too busy studying and forgot...sorry, Mom."
"It’s okay," Ying Man understood, softened her expression, and rubbed Rong Meng’s head, "Forget if you forget, studying is important."
However, Rong Xian’an was not so easy to fool, directly asking, "What score did he get?"
"690, second in the third year."
Rong Fangjun’s mood was very good at this point, smiling so much that the wrinkles on his face bunched into a blooming flower.
Rong Xian’an thought he heard it wrong.
Second in the grade...Rong Zhi?
He did not quite believe it, looking over at Rong Zhi.
The other party still had that lazy demeanor, slouching in the chair without proper form, fox-like eyes drooping with fatigue, showing complete weariness, languid beyond recognition.
No connection at all to the person who supposedly ranked second in grade that Rong Fangjun spoke of.
"Why are you looking at the third child? Don’t believe? Lu Zhao! Give Mr. Rong the ranking sheet sent over by Teacher Yu." Rong Fangjun ordered.
Lu Zhao then handed the prepared grade ranking sheet to Rong Xian’an.
Rong Qichuo also leaned over to look; the father and son carefully compared the scores on the sheet, the two characters ’Rong Zhi’ clearly printed on it, with only ten points less than Rong Meng.
That’s not all; the two who understood the overall scores at First High could immediately tell these scores were unusual.
"Full marks...all full marks," Rong Qichuo muttered in astonishment.
He widened his eyes in disbelief, glaring at Rong Zhi.
This was actually the score that Rong Zhi achieved! How could it be possible!
"This is not all? Teacher Yu also told me that the third child also scored full marks in the in-school Olympiad math contest!" Rong Fangjun said proudly, thrusting out his chest, brimming with energy.
Another piece of staggering news for the Rong Family.
Rong Meng’s fingernails finally dug into her palm; she wanted to recoil from the pain, her smile instantly becoming frozen.
Rong Xian’an opened his mouth, his face somewhat unpleasant, "Dad, Rong Zhi didn’t tell us about this, so we didn’t know."
Rong Fangjun let out a humph from his nose.
That’s because the Rong Family already had a second-place Rong Meng in front of Rong Zhi, suppressing him, and they didn’t care about him, so naturally, they wouldn’t know.
But now it’s different; now he wants to introduce Rong Zhi to the people in the family, these matters, as Rong Zhi’s parents, Rong Xian’an and his wife must be informed.
Rong Qichuo tightened his face, questioning, "...these grades are real, but Rong Zhi’s learning scores while in the countryside were never like this..."
Rong Fangjun abruptly struck his cane, "What you’re saying is that the third child can’t have any change?!"
Rong Qichuo’s mouth stiffened, "I didn’t mean that, Grandpa misunderstood me."
Yet, he didn’t feel misunderstood at all inside.
He was indeed suspicious of Rong Zhi.
But with Grandpa here, even Dad wouldn’t dare go against Grandpa’s authority, and he dared not even more.
Ying Man, however, never spoke up, although her thoughts aligned more with Rong Qichuo, her eyes flickering as she watched her father-in-law and husband converse.
"Last month, I spoke with the third child, asking if he would like to enter the company. He told me he wouldn’t manage, so I let him learn; now it seems the third child is learning well," Rong Fangjun swept over everyone’s expressions, "Today, I let you come here to let you know, the third child will intern at the company next week."
"Next Friday night, I will host a banquet, inviting people from the upper-class families in Beijing, to introduce the third child to everyone."
This was laying the groundwork for Rong Zhi.
Rong Qichuo had previously communicated with Rong Xian’an; it was certain that Rong Zhi would be subjected to difficulties once entering the company, he just needed to watch the latter being embarrassed thus didn’t voice much opposition.
No matter how well she scores in exams, what difference does it make, in the business arena, it’s not just good grades that can manage the company well.
He was simply considering if Grandpa was being too partial, it’s just an internship for Rong Zhi, does it warrant such a grand display?
Rong Xian’an was lost in thought, his mind stuck on Rong Zhi’s sudden stellar results, only nodding slightly as an agreement to Rong Fangjun’s proposal.
Only then was Rong Fangjun satisfied; he smiled, drawing Rong Zhi closer, "What does the third child think?"
Rong Zhi pressed his temple in headache, "Grandpa, I don’t know how..."
She genuinely didn’t want to enter Rong Family.
Considering the old man’s attention to Rong Family men, if he ever knew she was a girl, he would inevitably collapse, possibly regretting allowing her into the company.
She didn’t want to fall into such an irreparable situation, so she had to solve the problem from the root.
This time, Rong Fangjun didn’t discuss too much, decisively and resolutely reaching a conclusion, "You’re a boy of the Rong Family, carrying the responsibility of supporting the entire Rong Family, how can you easily retreat!"
Rong Zhi furrowed her brows, closing her eyes slightly, unable to argue against the old man’s insistence, she sighed subtly, "Alright."
The matter of Rong Zhi entering the company was thus settled.
Seeing the conversation finish, Rong Meng excused herself, pulling Ying Man hurriedly away from the old house, Rong Qichuo looked deeply at Rong Zhi, then followed his mother and sister’s steps.
Rong Fangjun intentionally wanted to let son and grandson converse, thus asked Lu Zhao to assist him back to rest.
The vast front hall was left with only a sleep-deprived Rong Zhi and a pondering Rong Xian’an.
After a long while, Rong Xian’an raised his head, staring at Rong Zhi, his voice deep, "You will enter the company, I’ll find an experienced person to mentor you, anything you don’t know, just ask him."
After a pause, he continued, "Previously, Dad was wrong; after all we are linked by blood, I can’t just watch the Rong Family child drift outside, find some time, move back to live."
Still with that commanding tone from above.
Rong Zhi toyed with the Buddha Bead Golden Pearl, his eyes lazily flickering, "Am I easy to please in your eyes?"
Rong Xian’an: "What?"
Rong Zhi leisurely leaned back, long cold white fingers absently tapping the armrest, "Nothing."
Ever since she left the Rong Family villa, she never thought of returning.
Rong Xian’an’s face darkened slightly, "Rong Zhi, I’m discussing nicely with you, and this is your attitude toward me?!"
Rong Zhi’s eyes swept a layer of cold dryness, always suppressing impatience exploded, "Then I shall ask Mr. Rong, if Grandpa hadn’t shown my results today, would you speak to me calmly and peacefully?"
