What does it mean to get a perfect score on the college entrance exam but then go missing?

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry."

No. 31 Xishan Road, in a secluded courtyard with winding paths.

Looking at the banquet on the table, Song Jingcheng felt a pang of guilt as he looked at his granddaughter.

"I can't stay home for long, something else is coming up, so I won't be able to have dinner with you."

Song Zhiyu chuckled and made a face: "Grandpa, you take yourself too seriously. I prepared this for a friend."

"Oh." Song Jingcheng gave a helpless, bitter smile. "I really was just being presumptuous. I should have known better than to come back."

Song Zhiyu worked in Xijing.

Song Jingcheng was in the capital.

The grandfather and grandson rarely saw each other.

Today, Song Jingcheng heard that his granddaughter was at home, so he took some time out of his busy schedule to go home.

When Song Jingcheng heard that his granddaughter had no intention of entertaining him at all, he was a little upset.

"hey-hey."

"Grandpa, please don't do this."

Song Zhiyu immediately took the old man's arm.

"I heard from the guard that you were very busy today, which is why I didn't prepare anything."

"I was thinking of going to your workplace to find you after I finished my work."

Song Jingcheng waved his hand: "Don't bother me. Today's matter is quite important and requires a high level of secrecy."

"Oh……"

Song Zhiyu nodded obediently.

"Is it related to what happened in the Pacific Ocean?"

Song Jingcheng: "How did you know?"

"I saw the news on the foreign website," Song Zhiyu explained. "They said we tested a new aircraft and it even rubbed against the Reagan. Is that true?"

"It's pretty close to the truth."

Messages like this are typical.

Song Jingcheng would keep it a secret from his family and try his best to keep his story consistent with that of his superiors.

But this time, the result was so inspiring.

There's nothing wrong with revealing a little bit.

"A team in China has developed a new aircraft, and the results are very good."

"Judging from our observation, we should be the first country in the world to fully transition to the next generation of fighter jets."

"I will be meeting with the scientists in the research and development team later."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhiyu, who was standing to the side, saw stars.

She herself is a scientific researcher, and even has some connection with the aviation industry.

Therefore, she knew the value of this research and development team.

One project elevated the level of a country's air force significantly, earning him a meeting with his grandfather...

Others don't know how valuable the old man's work is.

How could Song Zhiyu not know?

Under normal circumstances, only the esteemed scholar would cooperate with the old man for a face-to-face meeting.

Thinking about this, Song Zhiyu felt a little envious: "Do you even know where that team is from?"

"Don't you know about discipline?"

Song Jingcheng chuckled.

I can't go into specifics.

"But one thing is certain: you're not far from them."

"Study hard, work hard, and one day you will become one of them."

Song Zhiyu: "I hope so."

Although that's what they say.

But Song Zhiyu had no hope at all.

Although he was known as a genius at the university, the youngest PhD and so on.

But she has a clear understanding.

All of this was achieved primarily because of the resources accumulated by my grandfather.

She received the best education from a young age, and as long as she wasn't stupid or foolish, she could excel with a little effort.

After graduating from university, the old man was already second only to the seventh person in the family and above ten thousand others.

Therefore, one's future is more or less influenced by connections.

She knew her actual research ability was very poor.

Compared to these true academic giants, I'm only slightly better than ordinary people; I just happen to have the opportunity to meet them.

"Oh, right."

Song Jingcheng suddenly looked up.

"Since you're hosting a banquet for your friends, then it's perfect to add one more person."

Song Zhiyu: "Who is it?"

"Zhou Ke".

Song Zhiyu looked at her with disdain: "I don't want to!"

"No, it has to be!"

Song Jingcheng's face darkened.

"It's not easy for you to come back to the capital; it's not easy to meet you."

"I'll call him over right now."

Song Zhiyu: "We could actually avoid meeting each other."

"No, this is what your parents told you to do."

Song Jingcheng insisted.

"Besides, you're not getting any younger. I think that kid, Xiao Zhou, is alright."

Old Song's family only has this one child.

Therefore, Song Zhiyu's marriage was the hope of the entire family.

Her parents were both on the front lines of the military and were quite busy, so Song Jingcheng had to take on the role of her parents.

The Zhou family and the Song family have been friends for generations.

Especially the second generation.

Song Zhiyu's parents and Zhou Ke's parents are best friends.

Therefore, they arranged a marriage between their two children a long time ago.

And they spared no effort in bringing them together during their subsequent growth.

It was this matchmaking that caused Song Zhiyu to develop a rebellious mentality.

It's not that Zhou Ke is bad.

She just didn't like it.

But she couldn't withstand the pressure from her family.

After all, the old man was the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and millions of people obeyed his orders. He couldn't disobey.

"Okay, I've already invited him over."

After making the call, Song Jingcheng felt that his mission was accomplished.

"You two can have a good chat later."

He turned his head away.

Song Jingcheng looked at his guard staff officer

"Staff Officer Guo, go and arrange the meeting with the scientists."

"Let's meet at Xihua Hall in an hour."

"I'm going to take a 20-minute nap. I haven't slept all night, and I can't keep going."

Song Zhiyu felt heartbroken upon hearing this.

I originally wanted to linger with the old man a little longer.

But seeing the old man's heavy dark circles under his eyes, she felt a little sorry for him.

He's getting on in years, and it must have been really tough on him to stay up all night because of this unexpected situation.

"Grandpa, you should go to sleep now."

Song Zhiyu said cleverly.

"Go to the second floor."

"I'll be attending to the guests in the dining room later, I won't disturb you."

Song Jingcheng waved his hand dismissively: "It's alright, you go ahead and do your thing, don't neglect the guests."

……

……

Half an hour later.

The taxi stopped on the main road of Xishan Road and was then stopped by the sentry.

Qin Ze then realized that it wasn't the taxi driver who was being difficult.

He really can't drive in.

After receiving the guests, the sentry sent someone to call inside to confirm, and then immediately dispatched an internal vehicle to personally take the three visitors deep into the winding path.

The taxi driver, watching this scene from his car, was practically drooling with envy.

He frequently travels around this area and occasionally manages to attract one or two high-ranking officials or dignitaries as customers.

When they come here, most of them will be turned away.

Because the people living here are not ordinary people, they don't easily meet outsiders.

Most people who come here will get stuck at the checkpoint.

The three children in front of them not only passed the check in a second, but were also picked up by a private car.

The taxi driver didn't even dare to imagine what the three children's identities were.

And this moment.

Zhou Jiahao and Bai Huiyan looked at the detached manor next to them and were a little hesitant to even think about it.

"Is this really Teacher Song's home?"

Zhou Jiahao, who had seen a bit of the world, said, "This is a rare location in the capital; it must cost over ten thousand yuan per square meter, right?"

Bai Huiyan was utterly shocked: "Ghost, tens of thousands? How many years would I have to work to afford someone else's toilet?"

"What are you thinking about?"

Qin Ze ruthlessly shattered the senior's fantasy.

"This place isn't something you can just buy with money."
