Chapter 51: I have a system, that's how confident I am.
Lu Ming gradually began to treat the account "Lu Daqi" as his own career, and recently he has been putting more and more effort into it.
The second day of winter break.
He accepted the invitation to visit his classmate Ji Leping's home. Several other classmates were also going over; they were all second-rate academic geniuses in the top-performing class.
The students were a group of teenagers who didn't have driver's licenses or cars.
Lu Ming drove his GLE to pick up four classmates, Liao Chen, Hu Jinyu, Lu Wenting, and Chen Yiyan, before heading to a villa area in the northern suburbs of the provincial capital.
The group chatted about the Ji family on the way.
Among the boys in the advanced class, Ji Leping was good-looking, had a wide range of interests, and came from the most privileged family.
The father is likely a high-ranking executive at a state-owned enterprise, while the mother is relatively young and comes from a second marriage.
"So, is Ji Leping's mother a stepmother?" Since Lu Ming was going to visit and film a video, he definitely had to find out beforehand to avoid making a fool of himself.
"She's probably not his stepmother, but she likely gave birth to him before she was twenty, so she'd be around thirty-six or thirty-seven this year, right?"
Liao Chen had always been Ji Leping's deskmate, so he was undoubtedly more familiar with the Ji family's situation.
"oh!"
Lu Ming understood.
Similar to Yang Yunhao, after his father rose to a middle-level position, he found a young and beautiful new wife, and they had another son.
"Father-in-law, Ji Leping's mother is very beautiful. My mother often plays mahjong with his mother!"
Hu Jinyu offered a brief reminder.
"Hu, can't you just call me Teacher Lu?" Lu Ming decided to give the young man a good lesson, and continued, "You have to know when to stop joking. One or two times is a joke, but if you do it too often, it will make people uncomfortable."
Hearing this, Hu Jinyu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
But then Liao Chen raised his hand and said, "Teacher Lu, actually I also want to be your son-in-law!"
During the winter break, he happened to see Teacher Lu getting into the car with her daughter Rui Rui, who was definitely the school beauty of Hua Rui Middle School!
This girl, who just entered the first year of high school, already has such a great figure and facial features, leaving the seven or eight girls in the advanced class far behind!
He's made up his mind about this father-in-law!
"You're too late. Rui Rui has a childhood friend she grew up with, the son of my senior. They were classmates from elementary school to high school, and they're secretly dating."
Lu Ming decided to strike decisively, directly extinguishing Liao Chen and Hu Jinyu's evil intentions. Don't even think about it, there's no way they'll succeed!
"No way?"
Liao Chen and Hu Jinyu wailed together.
"Ms. Lu, you're so open-minded! Your daughter started dating a boy in junior high?" Chen Yiyan was quite excited.
How come she never met such an open-minded and handsome father!
"Early romantic relationships have a significant impact on studies, especially for girls. Rui Rui's grades weren't ideal throughout junior high, but she and Yu Hang have been playing together since childhood, so forcibly separating them wouldn't be good!"
Lu Ming tried his best to remind Chen Yiyan to focus on her studies, as the college entrance examination was approaching and she shouldn't be thinking about romantic relationships.
As for Rui Rui's academic performance, there are actually three reasons.
First, there's the family environment. He and his ex-wife, Guo Haili, had a minor argument every three days and a major argument every five days. Any child in such a family would find it difficult to excel academically.
Early romantic relationships come second.
Finally, there's Rui Rui's own ability; she's clearly more suited to studying humanities subjects and isn't very good at math, physics, or chemistry.
The good news is that her family situation has completely changed, and her relationship with Cheng Yuhang has been going on for a while and has actually become stable. She rarely thinks about those miscellaneous things anymore.
These are all fortunate circumstances amidst misfortune.
Ji Leping's family lives in the Oasis Manor in Da'ao. The entire community has more than 200 villas, all of which are 400 to 500 square meters. It is surrounded by mountains on both sides and Cuihu Reservoir in front, with a beautiful landscape.
When Lu Ming parked his car in front of his house, the boy and a beautiful woman in her thirties came out to greet him.
After glancing at her briefly from inside the car, Lu Ming felt that she was not much different from Pan Li; their age, figure, and appearance were all at a similar level.
She is indeed very beautiful for a woman of that age.
He got off the bus first, raised his hand to greet the Ji family mother and son, and then several classmates ran over laughing and joking after getting off the bus.
Everyone brought gifts such as fruit baskets and flowers.
Ji Leping's mother seemed particularly pleased. After looking Lu Ming over, she smiled and said, "Teacher Lu, my Leping specially found your video last night and showed it to me. He really admires you!"
"There's nothing to admire about him. It was just a business failure, and there was really no other way!" Lu Ming tried to keep a low profile.
Perhaps it's because he's had too much contact with mature women.
With just a glance, he knew that Ji Leping's mother was quite open-minded; her eyes even seemed to have a hook-like quality to them.
The main reason is that he's too handsome and has a great physique; women's attraction to him is purely physiological.
Ji Leping's family was indeed very well-off; their villa was not only spacious and grand, but also luxuriously decorated.
After Lu Ming and his classmates toured the place with the mother and son, they all said many nice things and praised them highly.
After chatting for several dozen sentences, he learned that Ji Leping's mother was called Fang Lin, and could be addressed as Mrs. Fang.
Mrs. Fang brewed a pot of fruit tea in the living room and prepared a lot of nuts, fruits and snacks for everyone. Then she politely made an excuse to go upstairs.
As she reached the top of the stairs, she looked back, exuding a captivating charm, though her gaze was clearly fixed on Lu Ming.
Whatever!
Lu Ming had long been accustomed to all kinds of beautiful mature women and was completely unmoved. He immediately started recording a video with several classmates.
He didn't have a script; he simply asked each child to talk about their dreams and academic goals for the next semester.
Liao Chen spoke first: "My goal is simple: to get into Tsinghua or Peking University, defeat Professor Lu and Ji Shen, and forget about Ning Shen and Xu Shen, I really can't beat them."
The students immediately burst into laughter.
Following closely behind, Hu Jinyu, Lu Wenting, and Chen Yiyan each began to clarify their goals, all of which were aimed directly at Tsinghua and Peking Universities.
If I don't pass the exam, I'd rather repeat a year.
Apart from Chen Yiyan, all of these children have this kind of talent.
When it was finally Lu Ming's turn, he optimistically said to the camera, "My goal is to get into Jiangsu University of Science and Technology's Strong Foundation Program, and ideally, I can get a direct PhD to realize my childhood dream of becoming a scientist. Even if I get older, I still can't give in to reality."
With the academic superstar system, that's how confident I am!
Chen Yiyan, who was helping to film with her phone, laughed and said, "Teacher Lu, you should first consider the challenges from God Ji, God Liao, and the fake God Hu. They're sharpening their knives, ready to bring you down!"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Because I was in a relationship for three years of high school, and my mind was not on studying at all. I was really immature back then."
Now, I truly believe that the easiest thing in the world is studying, because everything else is more difficult, more tiring, and more painful.
Therefore, my current goal is to challenge the top two students in the advanced class, and to challenge Ning Xiang and Xu Jiyang. As long as I keep summarizing better learning methods and finding learning methods that suit me better, I should be able to do it.
He had just finished speaking.
Ji Leping was the first to object, saying, "Teacher Lu, I think your goal is unrealistic. If you can surpass Ning Xiang, you're already confident you can become the top scorer in the provincial college entrance examination."
Hu Jinyu didn't believe anyone could surpass Ning Shen, and directly made a bet: "Teacher Lu, if you can surpass Ning Shen, I'll call you Dad from now on!"
"I want to call him Daddy too!"
Liao Chen echoed this sentiment, feeling that he was getting the short end of the stick no matter what, considering that Teacher Lu was the school beauty's father!
"Then you just wait!"
Lu Ming was actually confident because he had carefully observed that neither Ning Xiang nor Xu Jiyang could possibly reach twelve points in intelligence.
If he were to achieve this, Ning Xiang would at least be among the top 60 in the National Mathematical Olympiad, qualify for the national team training camp, and ultimately represent Southeast University in the IMO international competition.
Since everyone has eleven points in intelligence, Lu Ming's eleven points in memory give him a significant advantage.
