Chapter 63 The Two Female Chairpersons Have Special Privileges
After the Jiangtai Cup Basketball Invitational Tournament ended, Lu Ming began to focus on preparing for the Yangtze River Cup Mathematics Competition.
This competition is very unpopular.
The main difference is that the bonus points for the Strong Foundation and Elite Talent programs are lower than those for the provincial-level Mathematical Olympiad, and the exam also includes some advanced mathematics content.
The preliminary rounds were held online in mid-April, with more than two thousand people registering to participate.
When the preliminary results came out and Lu Ming received the official exam notice, he learned that Hu Jinyu, Huang Jiaxuan, Chen Yiyan, and others from the Rocket Class had also passed the preliminary round.
isn't it?
Half of the questions in the preliminary round were in the realm of advanced mathematics.
While everyone was discussing this, Lu Ming asked curiously, "Have you all studied advanced mathematics?"
Hu Jinyu shrugged and said, "I felt that I might not be able to get into Tsinghua or Peking University, so I took the opportunity to study the Strong Foundation Program at Jiangsu University of Science and Technology for more than two months as a backup option."
Huang Jiaxuan and Chen Yiyan nodded slightly, clearly indicating that their situations were similar.
Lu Ming let out a sigh of relief.
Even a second-rate genius in the rocket class is still a genius. If you put them in other key high schools, they would be top students who can score 680 points.
Huang Jiaxuan said with some concern, "I only scored in the seventies in the preliminary round, I feel like I won't even get a second prize."
"I only scored in the eighties!" Hu Jinyu, who scored exactly eighty-eight points, was as humble as ever.
"Teacher Lu, there are still more than half a month until the main competition. Can you tutor us?" Chen Yiyan was a little anxious.
She had overestimated herself a bit, thinking that if she worked hard, she should be able to get into Tsinghua or Peking University.
With only a few months left until the college entrance examination, I realized that I had a 70-80% chance of failing.
Now she wants to settle for second best and apply to Jiangsu University of Science and Technology's Strong Foundation Program, but she has never won any awards in the International Mathematical Olympiad or the International Physics Olympiad.
"If your preliminary rounds aren't going well, it'll be hard to make a breakthrough in half a month!" Lu Ming didn't think Chen Yiyan was a math genius.
Hu Jinyu and Huang Jiaxuan have both won at least a provincial second prize and started learning advanced mathematics early. If they are lucky, they may win a first prize in the Yangtze River Cup.
The elite class at Huarui Middle School is full of geniuses, most of whom have studied math olympiad since childhood. However, only about half of them have actually won provincial second or third prizes.
Four students have won provincial first prizes, and one student has won national first prize.
Chen Yiyan used to rely on her mother's resources to pursue a path of excellence, participating in two municipal-level high school research activities, but she didn't put any effort into participating in the Olympiad, and didn't even get a provincial third prize.
After evening self-study.
Lu Ming returned to his staff dormitory and was about to continue working on his problems when he suddenly received a message from Chen Yiyan's mother, Yao Xuefang.
"Mr. Lu, the Yangtze River Cup competition allows for highlighting key points, and there are still two weeks left. Could you tutor my daughter in advanced mathematics?"
Yao Xuefang sent a text message, and the meaning was already very clear: she knew the focus of this year's Yangtze River Cup competition.
"The college entrance exam is in just over two months, I don't have that much time," Lu Ming refused.
Yao Xuefang did not reply again, but simply withdrew the original message.
Lu Ming didn't really care about this.
He had already completed the previous Yangtze River Cup competition papers and scored almost full marks. According to the judging rules, a score of 90 or above usually qualifies for first prize.
To be precise, this competition is very suitable for him.
Because he didn't practice much in math olympiad, and the Yangtze River Cup mainly tests high school math whizzes who have previewed advanced math, the math olympiad part is not difficult.
The following ten days or so.
Although he did not agree to tutor Chen Yiyan, whenever it was after class, whether it was Hu Jinyu, Huang Jiaxuan, or Chen Yiyan asking him questions about advanced mathematics, he would explain them to them carefully.
With only one day left until the Yangtze River Cup competition.
He simply set aside a day to give a special, intensive lecture to several students on their weak points in advanced mathematics.
Basically, I went over all the questions that the three students had asked me in the past few days again.
As the conversation progressed to past nine o'clock in the evening, Lu Ming prepared to return to his dormitory. He gave his three classmates a final word of advice: "The bonus points for the first prize in the Yangtze River Cup are on par with those for the second prize in the provincial competition. The difficulty is roughly the same, but the Yangtze River Cup focuses more on advanced mathematics. It doesn't matter if you don't win the prize; it's better to get a few more points on the college entrance examination."
He personally felt that Hu Jinyu had a high chance of winning the first prize, while Huang Jiaxuan would have to rely on luck.
Chen Yiyan is really having a tough time.
Unless Yao Xuefang, a professor in the law department of Jiangnan University, actually obtained a very targeted scope and question type for the Yangtze River Cup exam.
Judging from the questions Chen Yiyan has been asking these past few days, the focus should be on differential functions of one variable, vector algebra, and spatial analytic geometry.
After giving the children some final instructions, Lu Ming prepared to leave the study room. Just as he stood up, his phone rang.
The result was somewhat unexpected; it was my aunt calling.
Lu Ming could only quickly pack up his stationery and leave the classroom in a hurry.
By the time he answered the phone in the hallway, his aunt was already furious, saying, "Daming, your dad is getting more and more shameless!"
"Get to the point!"
Lu Ming had no idea what was wrong with his aunt.
Because the older sister's hearing is severely impaired and she has difficulty speaking, in recent years, the siblings have only been exchanging a few messages each month to let each other know they are safe.
In addition, Lu Ming would also check out the chatter of his cousins and younger cousins in the family group chat.
There shouldn't be anything wrong at home!
"Daming, your father is going to make a will. All the savings will be split equally between your eldest sister and your stepmother. Even the house that was promised to be left to your eldest sister will now be divided in half between your stepmother!"
Lu Xiuhong, the younger sister-in-law, was furious. She clearly felt that the main problem lay with Lu Ming. If Lu Ming hadn't been away for five or six years, things wouldn't have escalated to this point.
"He can leave his money to whomever he wants. I've said it before, I'm not taking a single penny."
Lu Ming didn't care at all.
He had already stated when he was a sophomore in college that he would leave the family's old restaurant and storefront to his eldest sister.
After having a complete falling out with his father over the divorce, he made it very clear that he didn't want a single penny of his father's property or money.
Whatever.
"Lu Ming, I don't care what you think, but for your older sister's sake, you have to come back and talk to your dad, and stand up to your stepmother!"
Aunt Lu Xiuhong must feel sorry for her niece Lu Xiaoxia, who was always very obedient and lovable, but became deaf due to her parents' negligence.
"Auntie, don't worry, I'll handle it!"
Lu Ming first comforted his aunt, but did not plan to return to his hometown of Qingzhou, mainly because his appearance had changed too much.
I don't feel comfortable explaining this to my relatives.
As for the family's real estate, it's not a big problem.
After the domestic real estate price crash, the three-story shop on Linghu South Road is worth at most three million yuan.
Lu Ming definitely wouldn't approve of it now.
If the old man insists on giving half of the property to his stepmother, then so be it.
At worst, Lu Ming will cover his eldest sister's retirement expenses.
It's no big deal!
If he were determined to deliver food for a year, he could easily earn 30 million.
After a moment's thought, he opened the mothers' group chat and briefly explained the situation at home, saying, "My appearance has changed a lot, so it's not convenient for me to go back. Is there anyone who is free? If you say you're a friend of mine, could you help me go back to Qingzhou?"
"Da Ming, you know me. I was the most loyal friend back in college!" Miao Yuyan immediately volunteered, her tone urgent.
"It's difficult to get involved in family matters under the guise of being an old classmate. Daming, I'll just say I'm your fiancée and come back to our hometown to help you handle your family affairs."
Xue Meiting decisively proposed a more reliable idea.
Before Pan Li and Yao Yao could speak...
Mei Yanping suddenly joked in the group: "What a coincidence, Mr. Han and I are going to Qingzhou on a business trip these days, so let's take the opportunity to help Daming with his family matters."
The mothers' group immediately fell silent.
No one dared to utter a sound!
The two female chairpersons are given high priority.
Before they've eaten their fill, no one can get a bite; at most, they can only look at them, unless they don't want to be best friends with them anymore.
To be honest, Lu Ming said that this ecosystem is somewhat like a pride of lionesses on the African savanna.
