Of course, the reporters of the times couldn't say all kinds of nice things.
Making friends was one thing, but digging up insider information was the most important task.
They chatted for a while.
Fanny changed the topic. "Class Rep, can I ask you a question? There are many rumors that Mr. Wood didn't develop the youth potion, but made a regular version of it. Ms. Wu's appearance changed a lot, but her lifespan didn't increase. If she's really eighty-eight years old, she'll soon reach the limit of her lifespan! Of course, it's also possible that Mr. Wood thought that Ms. Wu could live more than a hundred years through detailed tests, so he asked her to cooperate in the experiment to achieve his goal of publicity. If it were any other ordinary person, it definitely wouldn't have such an effect. Class Rep, how do you plan to respond to this rumor? "
Fanny didn't actually doubt the youth potion. She was using it to understand more about it.
If Cheng Mingge could come up with an example to refute it …
That was exactly what she wanted.
Cheng Mingge smiled. "Ms. Fanny, rumors can't be trusted. I can only respond like this. It's normal for the youth potion to be doubted. Every time Blockhead introduces a project, he's doubted by experts, but people will find out in the end that he's right! I don't care what others say. Their mouths are on their faces, and they have the right to express their opinions! The doubts of outsiders won't change the results of our research, nor will it waver our determination to continue researching life sciences! "
"Class Rep, I really want to give you another hug!" Fanny sighed inwardly when she saw that Cheng Mingge wasn't falling for her trick. She immediately changed the topic, having come prepared. "Mr. Wood's research and development in various fields has surpassed modern technology and human intelligence. Some people say that he's actually an alien, or that he has obtained alien technology …"
"Aren't aliens in Area 51?" Cheng Mingge was amused. After laughing, she waved her hand. "I don't know if others are aliens, but Blockhead definitely isn't! Alien technology is out of the question. Everything is the result of his research. Nobody knows how much he's put in. Everyone only sees Blockhead's glorious achievements. As for the research in various fields, many of them were forced. Only some of them were of interest to him. In the areas that he was interested in, Blockhead obviously did a better job than the others! In some aspects, Blockhead was better at it and could be called a genius. But think about it, was there a lack of geniuses in the world? It was just that the fields that geniuses were involved in were different. Some are good at making airplanes, some are good at designing ships, some are good at astronomy, some are good at geography, and there are also some who have achievements in many fields. For example, Da Vinci, who you all admire so much, is a super genius! Let's look back at it again. Some people may not be good at researching drugs, but they are very good at making money. For example, there are many such geniuses on Wall Street. Why don't you suspect that these geniuses who can convert numbers into money are aliens? To me, they look more like aliens! "
"When it comes to making money, is there anyone better than you and Blockhead?" Fanny handed the spearhead over again.
"Our income is like a big river, formed by many streams. There is no business skill involved. If we had the skills of Waltz and the others, our capital might be multiplied many times over! It is precisely because we know our shortcomings that we have never considered going public. "Cheng Mingge said that monopolizing power was because he didn't know how to make money by going public.
"God, if you were willing to go public with any of your projects, I don't think you would need to do anything. There would be countless people stuffing money into your pockets!" Fanny rolled her eyes. She wasn't a pretty face. She could tell that Cheng Mingge was "quibbling".
An ordinary person definitely wouldn't be able to quibble.
But Cheng Mingge could.
When a person's influence reached a certain level, even if he or she didn't tell the truth in front of the public, people would still understand.
On the contrary, if a person with great influence said the truth in every word, then it was very likely that many of their allies would die, and it was also possible that they would hurt themselves. This was especially true for politicians. When facing the media, they couldn't say a single word of truth, or else it would very likely cause a series of disasters.
Being ambiguous and unpredictable was a qualified diplomatic language.
Cheng Mingge hadn't honed this kind of ability yet.
But she could refuse to publish the truth.
She had this right.
As Lin Dong's spokesperson, as the number one person in charge of the Knights of the Sky and the Star of Hope, no matter what decision Cheng Mingge made, others could only watch. No one could fight against her.
"I was shocked when I saw the financial data, but I don't want to talk too much about that today, because many people might know more than me how much your assets are. Since you don't want to talk about politics, why don't we talk about family? As far as I know, Blockhead is a … "Fanny paused here and looked at Cheng Mingge.
"It's fine. Blockhead's heart isn't so weak that he can't accept the truth." Cheng Mingge nodded and said solemnly, "You're right. Blockhead is indeed an illegitimate child abandoned by his parents. He was raised by his grandparents when he was young. It's not too accurate to say that he was an abandoned child, because apart from not having parents, he didn't lack love. Having grown up in that kind of environment, he knows how to be grateful and give back to society. That's why he's so charitable! "
"Helping the poor and helping women and children. Blockhead's actions are truly admirable. That's what I admire the most about him." Seeing that Cheng Mingge was willing to respond, Fanny immediately probed further. "Perhaps you don't want to talk about it, but we really want to know what Blockhead is thinking."
"You're asking if Blockhead has any resentment right now?" Cheng Mingge had already anticipated this question. "He's very calm. He doesn't have any resentment at all!"
"If he doesn't have any resentment, then why isn't he willing to acknowledge his parents? After all, they're his biological parents. For Huaxia, blood is very important. What I'm saying is that if Mr. Wood agrees, then his biological parents will immediately acknowledge this son who has lost the love of his parents for over 20 years and will do their best to make it up to him in the future! "Fanny was very good at setting up traps.
"He won't do that for now." Cheng Mingge shook his head.
"Why?" Fanny suppressed her surprise and tried her best to remain calm.
"Firstly, it's not necessary. Reuniting will have many unpredictable consequences for two families, or even more families. Blockhead is very kind. He doesn't want his appearance to interfere with the lives of others. If one person's pain can be exchanged for everyone's happiness, I don't think Blockhead will change the current situation. He has his own considerations. After all, this is how he's always been living. If he suddenly changes, he might make a mistake in his field of expertise, resulting in some unpredictable consequences. This is something he doesn't want to see! "Cheng Mingge raised a finger.
Then.
She raised a second finger. "Secondly, Blockhead doesn't want to get involved in politics. He doesn't want his family to become pawns in a political game, and even more so, he doesn't want them to become bargaining chips or sacrifices in a political battle. It's the same even if they're his biological parents who abandoned him. Reuniting might be a good thing, but it could also lead to a tragedy. Blockhead doesn't want his identity to bring disaster to his family. "
Fanny's inquiry was just to test Lin Dong's stance on behalf of the political group behind her.
The mother who abandoned her son was on the other side of the ocean.
Once there was a chance that she would reunite with him.
She would definitely become a pawn.
With her abilities, there was no way she could escape the fate of becoming a bargaining chip.
If Cheng Mingge said that she was welcome to reunite with him, then her life and family would immediately be swept into the eye of the storm. On the other hand, if Cheng Mingge and Lin Dong didn't express their stance, then she would be very safe. At the very least, her life wouldn't be in any danger until she lost her value.
"Maybe it's just a mother who misses her son and wants to see him. Is that not allowed?" Fanny suppressed her anxiety and asked.
"There are times when people's lives intersect, and there are also times when they cross paths. Using myself as an example, I don't necessarily stay by Blockhead's side every day. Sometimes, I also go out to work, and even fly very far away. During those times, I also miss him very much, but I can't easily abandon my work and rush to his side. I know that when I go out, there will be many people who need my help, and there will be many people waiting for me. I can't let my emotions affect my decisions, and I can't abandon my plan just because I want to … When I'm far away from him, I'll miss him, and I'll work hard to get back to his side as quickly as possible, instead of immediately dropping everything and rushing back. " Cheng Mingge's eyes shone with a kind of light, brimming with happiness. "I think if a certain mother could understand me and Blockhead, she would definitely work hard silently like us and wait for an opportunity, instead of taking action immediately and going on a trip as soon as she wants. Sometimes, life can be very carefree, but sometimes, we need to be cautious and take care of other people's feelings and feelings! "
"I'll pass on your words to a certain mother." Fanny knew that she couldn't continue on this topic, or else Cheng Mingge might refuse to continue the interview. She could participate in politics, but she couldn't get too involved, or she would definitely be rejected.
"Who knows what will happen in the future? Blockhead and I are still young, we can wait! "Cheng Mingge's words made it clear that he wouldn't agree to meet in the short term.
"Speaking of family, I know you're a very important member of Blockhead's life. Your influence on him is comparable to his most respected grandmother. Class Rep, can I know what you're thinking about in the future? Have you thought about getting married? "Fanny asked a question that countless people had gossiped about, but no one knew the answer to.
"Marriage? We're not of legal age yet! "Cheng Mingge avoided the question with a smile.
"Have you thought about this?" Fanny pressed on.
"We're actually more like family, aren't we? We promised each other that we wouldn't think about this in the short term. In reality, we're both too young, and what we need to do the most right now is to help more people in need, and nothing else! " Cheng Mingge waved his hand. "Not just you, I've already answered this question many times in other places, and I don't think there's a need to repeat myself. In short, we don't have such thoughts, so that's all for this question, thank you! "
"Then let me ask a very personal question!" Fanny purposely lowered her voice. "Have you guys ever had sex? Do you do it often, or never? Rumor has it that Mr. Wood is actually gay, and you're just a cover up for his friend? Which one is telling the truth? "
"Hahaha!" Cheng Mingge laughed and shook his head. "As I said before, rumors can't be trusted! Blockhead definitely isn't gay, I'm a hundred percent sure of that. As for your first question, it's a personal matter, so I've decided not to answer it. "
"If you guys haven't had sex, then does that prove that Mr. Wood isn't interested in women?" Fanny asked again.
"We'll solve our own problems, thank you for your concern. I think Blockhead and I can't entertain you with our privacy, so I'm sorry, but no matter what our lives are like, before we go public, outsiders can't peep into our lives. This bit of privacy must be respected. As for Blockhead not being interested in women? I really don't know where that came from. He's never said it, nor has he shown any signs of it. In reality, he's very traditional, and his acceptance of modern things still needs to be strengthened. Modern and trendy things like homosexuality aren't his thing. He definitely likes women, and he likes girls who are more traditional, especially those with a bit of a classical temperament! "Cheng Mingge revealed a plausible story.
"The price of the Youth Potion?" Fanny changed the topic, trying to dig deeper in all aspects.
"We're still in the midst of intense experiments, and the finished product can't be released to the market in a short period of time. Research and production are two different things, and our research is still in the final sprint, so it's still too early to say anything!" Cheng Mingge replied, avoiding the question.
