The Federation's Unified College Entrance Examination was the focus of attention of all levels of society every year. The top scorer of the college entrance examination every year would also attract countless attention.
This year, Shangjiang produced a provincial capital liberal arts top scorer, and the entire education community in Shangjiang rejoiced. Such an advanced model had to be vigorously promoted.
The upper echelons of Shangjiang were also supportive of this. In the past two months, nothing good had happened in Shangjiang, and the political circle was in a mess. Everyone wanted to hear some good news.
Gao Zhengyang himself was also extremely legendary. He was an orphan, and his adoptive father died not long after he was adopted. His grades in high school had always been at the bottom.
Everyone who knew Gao Zhengyang felt that Gao Zhengyang would not be able to get into university. No one expected that this publicly recognized bad student would achieve a comeback in the college entrance examination. With extraordinary talent, he climbed to the peak and became the top scorer of Jinling Prefecture's liberal arts.
Once this story was written, it would definitely attract many readers. After all, everyone liked this kind of comeback plot. If the top scorer of the college entrance examination was a top student from a young age, it would be meaningless.
Therefore, several media outlets soon found Gao Zhengyang to interview. Gao Zhengyang did not refuse. He used to be a bad student, but now that he had returned from studying in the universe, he deserved to be the top scorer!
There were college entrance examination top scorers every year, but how many of them were like him who traveled around the universe and came back? Only him!
Gao Zhengyang's flamboyant style also gave some of the media companies that visited him a headache. It was fine for the written media as they could reorganize the manuscript. However, the filmed video was not so easy to edit.
The media was also very cautious about such a personality of the college entrance examination top scorer. After all, this was not gossip news, so they could just write casually. This matter involved the direction of public opinion, so their attitude must be correct.
After hearing about this, the office of Shangjiang's governor issued a notice for the media to submit all publicity manuscripts for review.
Several media outlets and the education and publicity department were a little baffled. Although the college entrance examination top scorer was the focus of the publicity, it was a small matter after all. The notice from the governor's office represented the governor's opinion.
The governor of Shangjiang had just taken office and was busy with many affairs, yet he actually had the mood to intervene in such a small matter. There was obviously a problem here.
Shangjiang was very big, but the upper circle of Shangjiang was very small. During Xu Xu's coming-of-age ceremony, Gao Zhengyang and Xu Xu danced together. At that time, many people saw it.
Even if he didn't know his name, a little investigation would reveal the relationship between Gao Zhengyang and the Xu family. They also understood why Xu Changsheng's attitude was so ambiguous.
Gao Zhengyang did not come from a good background, but he was close to Xu Xu. If the Xu family did not want to accept their relationship, they might suppress Gao Zhengyang. At the very least, it wouldn't be widely publicized.
Indeed, that was what Xu Changsheng was thinking. He had never met Gao Zhengyang before and was not interested in meeting this boy. However, he knew about the relationship between his niece, Xu Xu, and Gao Zhengyang, so he had to think about it.
From his point of view, this kind of orphan who came from a lower class background was not suitable to be the son-in-law of the Xu family. Not to mention his family background, the fact that he was an orphan meant that Gao Zhengyang's character was flawed.
The videos about Gao Zhengyang on the internet also proved this point. High profile, flamboyant, tough, and even unruly.
Even if he did not have money to earn, his ability could be slowly cultivated. However, there was no way to change his character.
A leopard could not change its spots. This saying was very clear.
However, this was his eldest brother's family's matter after all, so Xu Changsheng could not make the decision on his own.
Xu Changsheng called his eldest brother, Xu Chunqiu, and told him the truth.
Xu Chunqiu pondered for a while on the other side of the phone. "Gao Zhengyang is the top scholar in liberal arts, so it has nothing to do with Gao Zhengyang being Xiao Xu's friend. What I'm saying is, just deal with it normally. "
"Eldest brother, what do you think of Gao Zhengyang?"
Xu Changsheng understood what Xu Chunqiu meant. The problem was that this matter had already involved the Xu family, so he could not simply say it out loud to avoid misunderstandings.
This time, Xu Chunqiu was silent for a while on the other side of the phone, then said, "Gao Zhengyang is a very complicated and strange person. He's a person that I can't see through no matter what. As a father, I don't like my daughter associating with such a person. As the head of the Xu family, I hope that the Xu family has such a person. Do you understand? "
Xu Changsheng could understand Xu Chunqiu's dilemma, but he did not quite understand what Gao Zhengyang had to struggle with. Xu Ming had said that Gao Zhengyang might be a transcendent being. But it was only a possibility!
Xu Changsheng was skeptical about this rumor. He knew how rare transcendent beings were. Gao Zhengyang was only seventeen years old, so how could he be a transcendent being?
Even if Gao Zhengyang was a transcendent being, he was not that important to the Xu family. The Xu family's foundation was in the political and business world. How much could a hired thug do?
Transcendent beings were terrifying not only because they had transcendent powers, but more importantly, they had a system and an organization. Stragglers like Gao Zhengyang were not valued even if they had some courage.
Therefore, Xu Changsheng did not think much of Gao Zhengyang.
Xu Chunqiu was different. He had seen the conversation between Li Jiang and Gao Zhengyang with his own eyes. Then, Li Jiang left in a hurry in fear. Then, Li Jiang died.
After asking Xu Jie about it, he found out that Gao Zhengyang and Gu Tao had also had a conflict. Xu Chunqiu could not help but let his imagination run wild.
Of course, he did not have Shi Yunxuan's foresight and knowledge, and he did not know much about the inner world. However, from the most basic logic, Gu Tao should not have hit Li Jiang, but he did it!
This matter could not be explained no matter how he thought about it. He could only attribute it to Gao Zhengyang, and the entire logic was very clear.
Li Jiang and Gu Tao had both offended Gao Zhengyang, so Gao Zhengyang used some kind of method to make Gu Tao drive to hit Li Jiang. Killing two birds with one stone!
This method sounded simple, but the difficult part was the specific method. Xu Chunqiu could not figure out how Gao Zhengyang did it. He did not understand, so he felt that it was mysterious, and because it was mysterious, he felt fear.
Xu Chunqiu kept these speculations in his heart. However, he later found out that Shi Yunxuan, who was with Li Jiang, went to visit Gao Zhengyang the next day!
Xu Chunqiu investigated and found out that Shi Yunxuan's identity was very mysterious and very powerful. Even someone like him could pay a formal visit to Gao Zhengyang.
During this period, Xu Chunqiu had been hesitating, not knowing how to face Gao Zhengyang. From an emotional point of view, he hoped that his daughter would be away from the mysterious and dangerous Gao Zhengyang.
However, his rationality told him that such a pure relationship between a young man and a young girl was a good thing for the Xu family.
Not to mention anything else, when Li Jiang got into trouble, the Xu family would be the biggest beneficiary when they got the position of the consul of Shang Jiang.
If others knew about the relationship between Gao Zhengyang and the Xu family, they would probably think that Li Jiang's murder was instigated by the Xu family. Moreover, the relationship between Gao Zhengyang and the Xu family had long spread throughout Shang Jiang. It was unrealistic to cut it off.
Xu Chunqiu thought about it, but he could not make up his mind. In the end, he decided to let nature take its course. Anyway, there was still a long way to go. It was still too early to say anything about Gao Zhengyang and Xu Xu.
However, Gao Zhengyang was able to become the top scorer in Jinling prefecture, which made Xu Chunqiu look at him in a different light.
During the short time they spent together at Xu Xu's coming-of-age ceremony, Xu Chunqiu felt that Gao Zhengyang was too ostentatious and showed off his abilities. Something seemed to be missing in his head. However, the top scorer in the college entrance examination proved that Gao Zhengyang had a high IQ and was not a brainless guy.
Most people liked to separate IQ and EQ.
However, Xu Chunqiu understood a principle. It was not that people with high IQ had no EQ. They could understand whatever you were thinking, it was just that you could not understand what they were thinking.
Therefore, ordinary people always thought that geniuses with high IQ had problems with their EQ. This was because everyone's world was different, and they could not understand each other at all.
Xu Chunqiu re-examined Gao Zhengyang and felt that other than a little problem with his personality, everything else about him was good. However, it was not good to tell his younger brother about these reasons.
He held the phone and pondered for a while, then said, "Just treat Gao Zhengyang as one of us."
Then, without waiting for Xu Changsheng to ask again, he hung up the phone.
Of course, Xu Changsheng could not understand Xu Chunqiu's twists and turns, but he respected his elder brother very much. Although he did not agree with him, he would not go against Xu Chunqiu's wishes.
Therefore, various media outlets in Shangjiang began to promote Gao Zhengyang and the top scorer in the college entrance examination.
Unlike the top scorer in the college entrance examination in previous years, Gao Zhengyang was very high-profile, particularly sharp, and had a distinct personality.
Gao Zhengyang's reputation soared, and even the martial arts center became much more lively. Parents often brought their children over, hoping to learn from Gao Zhengyang.
Gao Zhengyang was also very speechless about this. If his martial arts center was changed into a cram school, it would definitely make money.
However, this wave of uproar soon passed. For most people, the top scorer in the college entrance examination was just a topic of conversation, and no one would really remember him.
Only those who knew Gao Zhengyang would remember his identity as the top scorer in the college entrance examination.
For example, Shi Yunxuan deliberately carried two jars of Zhuangyuan Hong as a gift.
Gao Zhengyang heard someone knocking on the door in the morning. When he opened it, he saw that it was Shi Yunxuan. He was also carrying two beautiful antique jars in his hands.
"Thirty-year-old Zhuangyuan Hong, using the authentic royal secret recipe, is the most nourishing for the body."
Shi Yunxuan walked in with a wine jar in his hand and said with a smile.
Gao Zhengyang looked at his smart watch and said, "Today is only the 11th of July. You're early."
Shi Yunxuan said innocently, "It's already the middle of July."
"Okay. Wait for me to pack up. "
Gao Zhengyang did not mind waiting for a few days. He asked Shi Yunxuan to sit down, and he went to pack his luggage and clothes.
Shi Yunxuan did not stand on ceremony. The blue jade worth billions was placed underground. How could he not be anxious?
Sitting on a chair in the main hall, Shi Yunxuan quietly looked at Gao Zhengyang.
They had not seen each other for more than 20 days. The lines of Gao Zhengyang's muscles were more defined, and his ivory skin shone with a warm luster. He looked like a piece of precious jade.
Shi Yunxuan secretly took a deep breath. The characteristics of Gao Zhengyang's body showed that he had made great progress in Body Tempering. He was like a completely different person from 20 days ago.
This speed of improvement could be called terrifying!
Shi Yunxuan wisely did not ask further. Strength cultivation was the secret of Extraordinary Masters. Asking casually would cause trouble.
After Gao Zhengyang finished packing, the two immediately set off for the airport. In the afternoon, they arrived at Pinghe City in Donglin.
Donglin was located in the northeast of the Federation. The climate there was extremely cold. Even in the middle of summer, the temperature at night was only about 10 degrees Celsius. In winter, the temperature could reach negative 50 degrees Celsius.
There were four or five months without snow in the four seasons of the year. There were mountains everywhere. Most of the places in Donglin were desolate and uninhabited.
The harsh natural environment also shaped the fierce and swift characters of the local people.
When Shi Yunxuan and Gao Zhengyang came out of the airport, three Hummer off-road vehicles were already waiting there.
More than 10 tall and burly men shook hands and hugged Shi Yunxuan one by one. Towards Gao Zhengyang, the group of burly men was not very friendly. Each of them smiled ambiguously, with a hint of disdain and exclusion.
Compared to the group of burly men who were like wild bears, the clean and neat Gao Zhengyang did not have much of an imposing manner.
Gao Zhengyang had a smile on his face. He did not seem angry at all.
