ALL NOVEL
Chapter 149
Ji Ruochu's hot search and interviews with the top scorers of each province in the college entrance examination have been trending for three days, until a new hot topic emerged and Ji Ruochu's name finally disappeared from the hot search.
Although... it was short-lived.
As for why the heat subsided quickly...
【Encountering Ji Ruochu's Family in City X District】
【Encountering Ji Ruochu Buying Snacks for Parents on the Food Street】
【In...】
【#Encountering Ji Ruochu All Over the World】
It has to be said that these marketing accounts know how to grab attention. In the past, when writing about Ji Ruochu, it was always about Ji Mochen traveling with his wife and daughter.
Occasionally, fans would refer to Ji Mochen as "Ruoruos' dad," but most of the time, Ji Mochen was still the main character.
But now, in the news about the family of three, Ji Mochen has been directly included in the "Ji Ruochu's family" category.
Regarding this, Ji Mochen, the person involved, expressed... great pride!
"Look at our daughter, she's so accomplished!"
"Our daughter looks great on camera, every shot is like a blockbuster!"
"That's right! Our daughter has such beautiful features!" As the couple sat on the sofa, they laughed heartily while reading news about their daughter.
Ji Ruochu, who was sitting beside them, said, "Mom and Dad, let's pack our bags."
They were about to head to the next tourist attraction, and unlike before, this time Ji Ruochu had planned a self-guided tour. The three of them would start from City X and travel northward.
Although it wasn't as cool as riding a bicycle, traveling in a camper van and exploring along the way for a month, eventually returning to Kyoto, sounded pretty cool too.
That's why Ji Ruochu joined a production crew right after finishing the college entrance examination, to start this "domestic semi-circular tour" with Ji Ruochu's graduation trip as the theme.
At first, the couple had some hesitation. After all, most children go on graduation trips with their classmates, and while they really wanted to spend more time with their daughter, they were also afraid of depriving her of the opportunity to play and have fun with peers.
And so...
"Ruochu!!"
After packing their bags and embarking on the first day of this "semi-circular tour" in the camper van, Ji Ruochu's family successfully met with the Fang family.
Half a day later, the Jiang family's camper van appeared, followed by the Qi family, the Ren family...
Gradually, the convoy of camper vans grew larger, and three days later, the ten families from the original Class i of Little I School successfully gathered. With ten luxury camper vans, they embarked on the journey northward in a grand manner.
A few days later, a post on a backpacking forum started a heated discussion.
"Wow, so many luxury camper vans! Which wealthy families from the industry are going on this group trip?"
"I heard they are several families who grew up together since childhood, they're calling it their children's graduation trip."
"The person above is right. I actually met this group of children a couple of days ago. At first, I thought they were just enjoying the scenery, but when I got closer, I heard them discussing warm and cold currents. They're definitely knowledgeable!"
"I heard they are from the upper class in Beijing, each with assets worth billions. They're really daring. If they encounter bandits..."
"What are you thinking? Rich people not only accompany their children on trips, but they also take care of business. They have bodyguards with them, and even the local government welcomes them!"
【Why do wealthy people have such grand arrangements? Do they need government reception for their travels?】
【...Is it possible that they are going for investments?】
Ordinary wealthy individuals traveling wouldn't attract any official attention. However, if they were to pursue the goal of building a better homeland and achieving mutually beneficial investment objectives, it would be an entirely different matter.
Fortunately, the Ji Ruochu and his group's grand display didn't draw excessive attention. It only caused a small stir on the backpacking forums before fading away.
And so, the ten children who grew up together successfully had the time of their lives on the vast land of their motherland.
Today, they went to the river to catch fish, and tomorrow they climbed trees to collect bird eggs, causing headaches for their upper-class parents.
And the catalyst behind all of this was...
"Daughter, the weather is lovely today. Why don't you and your friends go fly kites?"
The academically average Ji family.
Originally, the few children would just take beautiful pictures, eat delicious food, and occasionally engage in discussions on profound topics due to their knowledge.
However, everything changed the day Ji Ruochu's parents caught a fish in the river and grilled it to perfection following a wilderness tutorial. The children were instantly exposed to a new world.
Due to the limited tools available, the few highly skilled children began to use local resources to create simple fishing spears. They even went as far as experimenting with starting fires by friction and eventually succeeded!
"Oh no! They're all burnt!" Ren Yujun and Mi Siyu frowned as they looked at the charred fish.
"Uncle Ji, how did you grill them? Can you teach us?"
Just as Ji Mochen turned his head after grilling fish for his daughter and wife, he found himself locking eyes with nine pairs of sparkling eyes. His academically average daughter, Ji Ruochu, didn't hesitate to lavish praise on him.
"Dad, you're amazing!" Ren Yujun and Mi Siyu, each holding a skewer of Ji Mochen's grilled fish, said enviously to Ji Ruochu.
"Absolutely! I think so too!"
Ji Ruochu generously praised her father, pretending not to notice his discreetly perked-up ears.
"During my three years of high school, my dad cooked all my meals, and they were so delicious."
"Wow~"
"I envy you. Unlike my dad, who spends his days in endless meetings, meetings, meetings!"
Ji Mochen, the master chef: (#^.^#)
"My mom is amazing too. The little cakes she makes are even tastier than those made by Michelin-star chefs!"
Ling Chujin, who happened to be holding a freshly squeezed juice, exclaimed with joy: (*^▽^*)~
And so, the group traveled from City X, making stops along the way. The children had a great time, and the adults... were quite pleased with their investments.
It wasn't because the investment projects had particularly promising prospects, but mainly because these projects were decided upon through discussions among a group of children, all of whom scored above 700 on their college entrance exams.
Of course, they weren't burning through excessive amounts of money... well, except for Ji Mochen and his wife.
In any case, the funds invested in these projects came from the children's New Year's money over the years and the financing they obtained from their parents based on their project proposals... ah, except for Ji Ruochu.
After all, besides having an extraordinary amount of New Year's money since childhood, this guy also had many side businesses.
Let's not mention the competition prize money, after all, all ten children have it. The key is that Ji Ruochu started investing from the age of ten.
I don't know how Ji Mochen and his wife raised her, but the little girl has had a knack for financial management since she was young, which is enviable.
This is also something the parents of the other nine children are willing to let go of. They are busy with their own work while accompanying their children on mountain excursions and water activities.
This graduation trip, to put it plainly, is also an assessment of the several children by the family... Well, except for the Ji family.
Does Ji Ruochu still need to be assessed?
To put it exaggeratedly, as long as she nods, Ji Mochen would love to have her start learning about the company's affairs now. Once she graduates, he can hand over the company to her, right?
Of course, these are all stories for later. For now, after more than a month of independent travel, the children's graduation trip is coming to an end.
In another week, their RV will enter Capital Province.
Believe it or not, after this month of play, all the families have fallen in love with the leisurely life of enjoying the mountains and waters.
"The final stop is Songling Mountain in Province L."
"So, what do we..."
"Conquer it!"
The next day, the ten children woke up early, each with their own luggage, and got off the RV.
Looking at the towering Songling Mountain, the group was filled with high spirits.
"Come on, friends! The great competition of Songling Mountain is about to begin!"
"Wait a minute, since it's a competition, shouldn't there be a prize?"
"..."
In the end, it was Ji Ruochu who said, "The first person to reach the mountaintop will have the privilege of choosing meals for three days!"
"But!"
"Hey, hey, hey! Kong Chao, why are you still trying to cheat?!" The young boy climbed while teasing.
Everyone: ?!!
"You're dreaming!"
Everyone unanimously rejected this terrible suggestion and quickly caught up with the pace.
A group of boys and girls chased each other in the hazy morning, making the people around them couldn't help but burst into laughter.
