"A member of the Prodigy Class at Tiangong University!"
The words of the skinny teenager immediately drew a hearty laugh from Brother Hu.
"A little shrimp like you dares to call yourself a prodigy? Do you even know what 1+1 equals? I'm really afraid that with your scrawny frame, you'll be blown over by a gust of wind!"
Brother Hu opened his mouth wide, revealing his large, yellow teeth, and mocked the teenager without restraint.
"You..."
The teenager's face turned crimson at Brother Hu's words.
"Alright, what does physique have to do with whether someone is a prodigy? I haven't seen you use idioms correctly despite your muscular build."
Wang Yu glanced at Brother Hu, unsure how the guy's mind worked.
However, Wang Yu did take a serious look at the teenager before him. Tiangong University's Prodigy Class?
Tiangong University was probably one of the few outstanding benchmarks in the economically backward Guanjiang Province, a first-class university ranked nationally, known for its difficulty to get into. Its students were all elites.
The Prodigy Class was a unique feature of Tiangong University, admitting gifted young students on a special basis, with an even stricter entry threshold than regular university students.
In an era where university students were a rarity, those who could enter Tiangong University's Prodigy Class were absolutely elites among elites!
Or, to put it more directly, in certain fields, they could be considered geniuses without exaggeration!
This was unlike the examination machines manufactured in future eras; these were individuals with genuine substance!
As Wang Yu sized up the teenager, the latter was also appraising him.
"You're that Wang Yu?"
The teenager directly asked Wang Yu, "I've been hearing your name quite a bit lately."
"Heh, before asking about others, you should introduce yourself first. That's basic etiquette."
Wang Yu clasped his hands in front of him and smiled at the teenager.
"My name is Lin Wen Anton."
The teenager introduced himself to Wang Yu, stating his name.
"Hmm? You're not from our Yuan Federation?"
Wang Yu was slightly taken aback. The teenager, both in appearance and fluent Mandarin, didn't seem like an international friend.
"I have Dongma blood. My father was a member of the overseas Chinese community who married into our family... so I'd prefer it if you called me Lin Wen."
Lin Wen said to Wang Yu, revealing the fact that his father had married into the family without any hesitation.
However, since he had Dongma blood, it was understandable. After all, Dongma was a neighbor of Dongzhou. A few hundred years ago, they might even have been distantly related.
"In that case, Lin Wen, what brings you here?"
Wang Yu said accommodatingly.
"I've heard of your reputation. As an ordinary person, you've defeated many formidable overseas experts. It's truly remarkable."
Lin Wen looked at Wang Yu, a hint of defiance in his eyes. "Additionally, I heard this was also your doing..."
As he spoke, Lin Wen took out a small, compact square box, which was clearly a portable music player.
Wang Yu glanced at the casing of the music player and knew it was from the very first batch of products, with the casing still using the earliest injection molding and screw-fixing method.
Later products adopted integrated, seamlessly molded casings, which were more aesthetically pleasing and reduced costs.
"This was indeed designed by me."
Wang Yu nodded. As Li Mo's English training schools grew larger, Wang Yu's portable music player products hardly needed promotion. There were large orders every month, and they were in high demand.
For this reason, Wang Yu had even set up a new, separate production line specifically for the portable music player, which was expected to be operational by the end of the month!
"Do you have any questions?"
Wang Yu saw a youthful passion in Lin Wen's eyes, essentially meaning he was defiant, unwilling to back down, and firm in his convictions.
"Hmph, I don't believe this is your accomplishment!"
Lin Wen sneered coldly. "Rumors are everywhere about how amazing you, Wang Yu, are, how you repeatedly crushed overseas experts. The scholars and doctors from Samland and Wato are no match for you. But I can only say, these stories might fool ignorant ordinary people, but they won't convince me!"
Lin Wen's voice was loud, immediately attracting quite a crowd.
After all, at the East Continent Industrial Expo, Wang Yu's car factory repeatedly captured attention and created various sensations and news. In modern terms, he was a hot topic creator, capable of hitting the headlines with ease.
This led many idlers who enjoyed gossip and reporters who were just making a perfunctory appearance to loiter around the car factory's exhibition area.
Even though Wang Yu had been absent for a few days, there were constant rumors that he was secretly plotting some scheme... no, some grand undertaking.
Therefore, many people were still paying attention to them. Now that it seemed something was happening, many people gathered around!
"Oh? Why should I convince you?"
Wang Yu looked at Lin Wen with amusement. This was probably a common trait of youngsters? They always wanted to prove themselves and convince others to believe their ideas and viewpoints.
The problem was, what good did that do? It only brought a false sense of validation.
If you have strength, others will acknowledge you without any need for proof. Only those lacking strength would try to prove themselves in such a manner.
"Heh, you're exposed, and you dare not face it!"
Lin Wen shouted, becoming even more animated. "Regarding your so-called victories over overseas experts, I have thoroughly researched them. Qinglu Group's successes were merely due to cleverness and social experience; anyone without culture could have achieved them.
As for Tsubasa Steel Company from Wato, it's even more inexplicable. You merely relied on ancient smelting formulas to produce the finished product, essentially rehashing old ideas!"
As Lin Wen spoke, a crowd had gathered around, including many reporters, all looking at the scene with excitement. Wang Yu truly lived up to his reputation as a news-maker! After being absent for a few days, his return was already setting the stage for another big story!
"Moreover, looking at all the products from your car factory, the professional scope is extremely wide. It's impossible for one person to achieve all of this, yet you brazenly claimed to the outside world that it was all developed and designed by you. Who do you think you are?
As an electronics major, I am impressed by the ingenious design of this portable music player. Even our mentors might not possess such ability. Who are you to claim such a feat?"
Lin Wen declared loudly, "Therefore, you are nothing more than a fraud seeking fame!"
Lin Wen's statement caused a huge uproar!
