Chapter 72 Teacher Lu, is it really that fun?
As the landlady of four buildings, A, B, C, and D, Longhua Building, Yao Xuefang visited "Lu Daqi's Studio" a few days ago.
It looks pretty good. I estimate the renovation alone cost several million. It has a very sci-fi feel to it.
As for who paid for all this money?
Still need to ask?
Is it that interesting?
After leading her daughter into Lu Ming's office, Yao Xuefang smiled and praised, "Teacher Lu, your receptionist and assistant are both very good, and they have a lot of entrepreneurial enthusiasm."
Lu Ming briefly explained, "Xiao Cui and Youyou were both selected by Yao Yao from Jiangtai Group. Regardless of their abilities, their work attitude and interpersonal skills are impeccable!"
The main reason is that they pay a high salary!
Their work attitude is naturally good.
As soon as Yao Xuefang and her daughter Chen Yiyan sat down on the sofa in the office, Xiao Cui and the receptionist Youyou hurriedly brought them tea.
Perhaps unsure of what the landlady and her daughter liked to drink, the two brewed a pot of jasmine tea, a beverage unlikely to disappoint.
The group chatted while drinking tea.
Lu Daqi Studio is essentially a non-profit organization, currently relying mainly on charitable donations from Jiangtai Group and Yabin Group to maintain its operations. During this period, it is introducing various undergraduate majors in China.
What do you learn and do in each major? What is the current job market and career prospects? Which universities have related majors that are more popular in the industry and have wider connections?
We've already tried five rounds so far, and the traffic is decent.
After chatting for a few minutes, Yao Xuefang joked, "This studio's popularity is probably all thanks to Teacher Lu's good looks, right?"
She's telling the truth: without this face, even ghosts wouldn't watch this kind of video!
"Mom, since Teacher Lu's main focus is on public service, you shouldn't be charging her rent. These videos are so important to high school students and parents across the country!"
Chen Yiyan couldn't help but remind her mother, "Our family can't earn this kind of money!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you this once!" Yao Xuefang readily agreed, though she was a little annoyed.
Daughter, can't you really tell?
Don't you want a father as handsome and dashing as Teacher Lu?
"The rent is reasonable, actually quite cheap, and it's a small percentage of our operating costs. Plus, the charitable donations from our sponsors are substantial!"
Lu Ming avoided the main points and talked about it in a roundabout way.
He didn't want Yao Xuefang to waive the company's office rent, since he might have to refuse the female professor at any time.
We are all adults.
After understanding Lu Ming's meaning, Yao Xuefang did not continue to persuade him. She immediately changed the subject and said with a smile, "Lin Manna and I started a smart science mom group. Yesterday, we also invited President Mei, President Xue and Principal Miao to join. Anyway, their children are going to study this major."
She had already found out that there was a very special "Rui Rui's Mom" group among Lu Ming, Mei Yanping, Xue Meiting, Miao Yuyan, Pan Li, and Yao Yao.
No matter what she tried, her longtime best friend Mei Yanping and her niece Yao Yao refused to invite her to the group.
There must be a problem.
Since they absolutely refused to let her in, she decided to create a new group and add all of them.
"Teacher Lu, please join this group too! We can help each other, share resources, and organize fun group activities regularly!"
Yao Xuefang immediately took out a three-screen folding phone from her handbag and invited Lu Ming to join the group.
How could I refuse an invitation extended in person?
Lu Ming could only click to confirm, and he guessed that Mei Yanping and Xue Meiting were also forced to join the group in the same way.
"I heard from Yao Yao that you two often go cycling to Longtan Gorge, go yachting, soak in hot springs, and frequently visit the Royal Court Club. Remember to invite me next time!"
Yao Xuefang smiled and joked that it probably takes some tricks to sneak into such a group activity.
The more they try to stop her from joining, the more she wants to figure out what's going on. Everyone is so devoted to Teacher Lu, there must be a reason.
Oh?
Lu Ming didn't believe Yao Yao had said it, so he simply said, "Yao Yao is still young. To me and President Mei, she's just a little girl. She doesn't usually participate in our activities!"
He didn't want to play with young girls, since Yao Yao could easily find a regular teammate at her age.
It's different in mom groups; it's hard for everyone to find regular teammates.
"Teacher Lu, I'm about the same age as President Mei, so I should be able to participate, right?" Yao Xuefang was still not entirely sure about the nature of this small group's activities.
Anyway, it's a lot of fun.
In the past two months, she has tried to meet up with Mei Yanping at least seven or eight times, but she has never been able to get an appointment. She has gone out to play almost every weekend.
Is it that fun?
"I was just participating in the activities. The specific participants were all chosen by Mei Yanping. It was something like playing mahjong, cycling, and camping."
Lu Ming spoke rather vaguely in front of Chen Yiyan, a female college student, but he believed that Mrs. Yao would understand.
This is the inner circle of Mei Yanping, the chairwoman of the Jiangtai Group.
All the rules were set by President Mei.
It would be so awkward if you insisted on squeezing in!
Back when Yao Xuefang was manipulating the two local power brokers, Dongchen and Jiangtai, behind the scenes, Mei Yanping was just a minor figure, holding a position at Fuxin Capital and simply helping Yao Xuefang with accounting and financial management.
Those second-generation rich kids were either arrested or fled. Both Dongchen and Jiangtai, two major local real estate groups, collapsed and were restructured. Yao Xuefang was completely marginalized.
Now it's Mei Yanping's turn to be in the limelight.
All of these things.
Yao Xuefang knew perfectly well what was going on, and she jokingly said with a smile, "Okay, then I'll talk to President Mei first. After all, we've been friends for over ten years, such good friends."
Based on the information she had gathered from Yao Yao and Miao Yuyan, coupled with Teacher Lu's own words, she became even more certain.
Once the pot of jasmine tea had cooled down, Yao Xuefang left the studio with her daughter, Chen Yiyan.
Just then, Lu Ming received a message from Mei Yanping.
"Come quickly to the dinner party. President Dai, who is in charge of scientific research and industry-academia collaboration, wants to introduce you to a female doctoral supervisor surnamed Lin. She is quite highly qualified."
Mei Yanping sent a voice message.
"What is the background of this doctoral supervisor?" Lu Ming was a little worried. In China, there are generally not many opportunities for female doctoral supervisors.
The main problem is that the male doctoral supervisors are all too effeminate.
"She is said to have graduated from the gifted youth program at Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, pursued her master's and doctoral degrees at MIT, and worked her way up to associate professor. After returning to China, she taught at Southern University of Science and Technology. She is currently a Yangtze River Scholar and has just transferred to Jiangsu University of Science and Technology as the deputy director of the Center for Industrial Research and Development in Intelligent Science."
Mei Yanping gave a brief introduction, but she must have just heard the news and hadn't thought about the issues in detail.
Lu Ming immediately understood.
Although this female doctoral supervisor graduated from the Jiangsu University of Science and Technology's gifted youth program, she has been studying abroad all the time, and she and her senior classmates are all overseas. She seriously lacks roots in China and Jiangsu University of Science and Technology.
In addition, he was just transferred to Jiangsu University of Science and Technology last year. Now there is a shortage of doctoral and graduate students, but undergraduates are not considered as long as they can work.
We desperately need oxen and horses!
Lu Ming thought for a moment, then asked Mei Yanping, "How old is she?"
"Around thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old!"
Mei Yanping took a moment to reply.
"...!"
Lu Ming was speechless.
Is Jiangsu University of Science and Technology deliberately humiliating him by assigning him a doctoral supervisor who is younger than him?
