"Everyone will know about Raymond sooner or later. We're hosting such a party today, and we'll entertain them. A happier atmosphere will at least make many people change their view of Raymond. Moreover, Raymond's mood will probably not be very good at the prom."
When Doug heard his wife's words, he also felt that it made sense. He nodded and said, "Yeah, I don't think Raymond will be happy at his graduation party this time. I think he'll come back with an unhappy face. In that case, it seems that it's very necessary to hold such a party."
"In that case, let's hurry up and prepare all the things that will be used for the party tonight. We'll give Raymond a surprise when he comes back tonight!"
After saying that, the two of them looked at each other and started to prepare for tonight's party.

On the other side, Raymond and Ryder finally arrived at today's party venue in silence.
As soon as they got off the car, Raymond and Ryder saw Tommy standing at the door and quickly walked up.
Raymond, Ryder, and Tommy had a very good relationship. They were known as the Three Musketeers of the middle school.
"Hey, Raymond, you're famous now, and you're too amazing, aren't you? How did you make the news on the internet disappear all of a sudden? There's no trace at all. Now, people on the internet are suspecting that you stole the country's secrets. Is there a New Snowden?"
"If I didn't see you coming and not being wanted, I would have suspected that you really stole the secrets and ran away. You would have already smuggled yourself to Hong Kong, then ran to Russia, Iran, and China to seek protection. After all, no one else could do such a thing except for the Pentagon or the White House..."
Raymond saw that the kid was chattering non-stop, so he quickly went forward and put his arm around his shoulder. He glared at him and pretended to be angry. "Are you making fun of me? If I become Snowden, the first thing I'll do is to kill you with a gun. After all, you talk too much..."
Seeing that Raymond was not angry, Tommy smiled and replied, "How can that be? I'm your most loyal friend, Tommy! Don't worry, if anyone dares to make fun of you, I'll go up and help you beat them up..."
Raymond knew that he did not have any malicious intent and was afraid of his shoulder. He said, "I know you're a good friend, but I don't care about this at all. Don't worry, no matter what it is, no one can beat me!"
"Hey, what you said just now was so cool. Is it The Godfather? Is it the lines from The Godfather?"
Seeing that Tommy was getting more and more ridiculous, Raymond quickly signaled for Ryder to carry him in.
At the dance venue.
A group of young people in various gowns were talking.
Today was their graduation day, and it was also the day they bid farewell to their student lives. Everyone had smiles on their faces.
Everyone had their own circle. Those who studied well liked to gather together, those who liked to play together, and those who liked to be high and hide in the toilet...
At the center of the ball, a classmate was in the absolute center of attention.
"I didn't expect Richard to be so amazing. Not only is his SAT score this time so amazing, but his invention has also caught the eye of the military. I think in the future, Richard will definitely be a member of a big company like General Motors or Boeing..."
"Yeah, Richard is really powerful this time. It's almost certain that the admission notice to MIT or Caltech is set in stone. Moreover, it's very likely that he will get a first-class scholarship. The tuition fees will be completely covered, and there will even be a huge balance every year."
Richard, who was surrounded by the crowd, could not hide the pride in the corner of his eyes, but he still maintained a false and humble smile on his face.
He waved his hand humbly and said, "It's all luck. It just so happens that I have an uncle who works at the Pentagon. It's all just luck. And everyone has their own merits. Everyone has a chance to succeed! Just believe in yourself!"
All of this made Richard enjoy it very much. He really liked the feeling of being admired by others. A few days ago, a report suddenly appeared. It reported that Richard and another child from a poor family had invented something and it had caught the eye of the military.
In addition to today's announcement of the SAT results, Richard's results were also very excellent. This caused two pieces of news to come together and make him even more famous.
This kind of news was very popular in the past. It could even exist on the internet for a few days. However, this kind of fame did not exist for a long time. It was suppressed by the news of a zero on the SAT.
Richard also could not understand why this was the case. Since when did a zero on the SAT become news? In his opinion, this was just a clown's way of getting attention.
If you did not get in his way, he would naturally treat all of this as a joke and let it go. However, your news caused his goal to not be achieved.
Richard didn't want to come to the prom. In his opinion, it was a waste of time. It was more useful to urge the kid from the slums to do some research and not be lazy.
Yes, Richard's invention wasn't invented by him and the student. He just used some means to make him hand over some of the pfatents.
But Richard still came because he knew that the boy who got all zero marks would come to the dance today. He wanted to take this last chance to let the 'clown' perform. Let him be a clown!
Just as Richard was thinking about how to teach the 'clown' a lesson...
Suddenly, he heard a cry of surprise. "D*mn, is that Raymond at the door?"
Someone beside him did not know about this, so he asked, "Which Raymond? Is he very famous?"
The person who cried out just now turned around and explained, "It's the owner of that weird test paper that was posted on the internet that scored zero on the SAT!"
"F*ck, so it's him! How did he have the courage to come here? If I did such a shameful thing, I wouldn't go out for at least a few months."
