Chapter 50 Striving to be on equal footing with the two Mas
Lu Daqi, my classmate!
This influencer's career is quite interesting and worth the effort!
After being admitted to the top three classes in the elite program, Lu Ming quickly found a good video topic.
According to Hu Jinyu and Liao Chen, Ji Leping plans to work hard during the winter break to regain third place.
Lu Ming felt that the chances of him losing were very low, but when filming the video, he deliberately pretended to be a little nervous and wanted to continue to work hard.
Actually, he was more worried that he might go too far and kill Ning Xiang and Xu Jiyang as well.
If that's the case, the chances of becoming the top science student in the provincial or municipal college entrance examination will be very high.
It's inspiring, but it seems a bit fake!
After the school winter break started, on the way back to Dijin Garden with several children, Lu Ming kept weighing things in his mind.
It seems he has the opportunity, but attracting too much attention isn't necessarily a good thing.
On the road.
Rui Rui, Gao He, Cheng Yuhang, and Yang Yunhao were also discussing the recently concluded first-year high school final exams.
There is no division between arts and sciences in the first year of high school; all nine subjects must be tested.
All four children had good grades, although Gao He failed to make it into the top three in the grade in the advanced class, and Cheng Yuhang failed to make it into the top ten.
Yang Yunhao, even in the regular Class 6, failed to rank in the top three of his class.
This is the inevitable result of getting into top-tier high schools; the most outstanding students in the province are all snapped up by the four prestigious schools and concentrated in one place.
The degree of selective admissions by prestigious private schools like Hua Rui High School is the most obvious. This is because Hua Rui High School has high tuition fees and high scholarships, which is a huge advantage for top students in the advanced classes. They can not only easily earn back their tuition fees, but also earn extra money.
Rui Rui was also in the regular Class 6, and her grades were at a mid-level. In the entire first year of high school at Hua Rui Middle School, she ranked over 400th.
Rui Rui was very excited about her performance because she had decided to choose liberal arts and apply for law school.
If ranked according to the comprehensive humanities subjects of Chinese, mathematics, English, history, politics, and geography, her ranking would even be among the top of the comprehensive humanities students.
During the summer vacation, the tutoring from my dad and a few friends was really helpful. If I keep up the good work during the winter vacation, I will definitely be able to squeeze into the top class for humanities subjects after the class division in the second year of high school.
After all, her father said that all the school scholarships would be hers to keep, and after finishing high school for three years, she might become a little rich girl.
Unlike Rui Rui, the three boys were noticeably downcast and not excited about the arrival of winter break.
It's not as exciting as it used to be during holidays.
Lu Ming drove the car to the apartment building and asked Rui Rui to go upstairs and open the door first. He then asked the three boys, "Do you guys think high school is a bit too difficult?"
"It's alright. The students who rank at the top of our class are all students who didn't perform well in the high school entrance exam, but they are actually at the same level as students in the top class."
Yang Yunhao is generally able to accept the status quo. When he was in the high school affiliated with the Normal University, he was only considered to be in the middle of the junior high school's elite class, not particularly outstanding.
Neither Gao He nor Cheng Yuhang spoke.
After a while.
Cheng Yuhang suddenly asked, "Uncle Daming, can I study humanities?"
He was a student who excelled in both arts and sciences, but he didn't stand out in either, at least not to the point of being among the top students in his grade.
Lu Ming smiled, not surprised, and said, "Boys should try to choose science and engineering. You can tell by looking at the status and funding of 985 science and engineering universities in China. Our country will always give preference to science and engineering."
"I just feel like if I study science, it will be very difficult for me to get into the top ten of the science-focused advanced class!"
Cheng Yuhang's previous goal was the Strong Foundation Program at Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, and he had been working hard to practice math olympiads. Now he feels that the Strong Foundation Program is a bit risky.
Within the elite class of the first year at Huarui High School alone, there are plenty of students who are more talented than him in competitions.
Lu Ming thought for a moment and said, "During the winter break, my sister-in-law and I will discuss it and try our best to let you kids pursue the route of the elite scientific research competition. As for the Strong Foundation Program, we can try to get it in your senior year of high school."
The elite talent program requires students to participate in provincial and municipal high school research competitions and to learn university-level knowledge in advance.
These things are expensive, especially relying on parents' social resources, but they can indeed cultivate high school students' hands-on experimental skills in advance.
The Strong Foundation Program is different; it mainly focuses on competition, and whoever is smartest gets in.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Ming simply said to the three children, "Let's be big fish in a small pond rather than small fish in a big pond. Let's set our sights on the elite classes and the strong foundation classes at Jiangxi University of Science and Technology. If that doesn't work, then we can go to Jiangxi University of Technology. As long as it's in the province, we can always find a way."
His words were mainly directed at Gao He and Yang Yunhao.
Gao He might get into Tsinghua or Peking University, but he definitely won't get into the Strong Foundation Program. Yang Yunhao should be able to go to a relatively remote 985 university, but rather than that, he might as well stay in the province and study at Jiangxi University of Technology, a 211 university.
Of course, we're only in the first year of high school now, so many things are still uncertain.
If you apply to Jiangsu University of Science and Technology in your own province, a score of 670-something is enough, as long as it's not a popular major.
If Yang Yunhao gives it his all, it's actually possible.
Jiangsu University of Science and Technology is one of the top five 985 universities in China, specializing in science and engineering. While it is indeed quite far behind Tsinghua and Peking Universities, it is absolutely on par with other top 985 universities, each with its own strengths.
In fact, whether it's the elite class or the strong foundation class, there's one way to force entry: an outstanding college entrance examination score.
This is Dongda University, not Xida University!
If you can score over 710 on the college entrance exam, what class can't you attend?
Lu Ming chatted with several first-year high school boys in the car for more than half an hour before taking them upstairs to go home.
Although it was the first day of winter vacation, Mei Yanping and Xue Meiting, as the chairman and senior vice president of Jiangtai Group, were too busy to take care of their child. Only Pan Li was at home at this time.
In fact, Pan Li opened a new branch last month and has been very busy.
Lu Ming simply let Rui Rui and the other children watch TV series in the living room while he and Pan Li busied themselves making dinner in the kitchen.
Mei Yanping and Xue Meiting finally returned home around 7 p.m.
If Lu Ming hadn't brought the children back, these two strong women would usually be staying at the Jiangtai InterContinental Hotel in the city center.
Apart from Rui Rui starting to show some ambition, the other three boys' grades were clearly not as good as they were in junior high school.
The mothers are usually too busy to do these things, so they didn't say anything since it was a rare occasion for them to eat with their children.
The main reason is that their eyes and thoughts are all on Lu Ming.
Although Gao He, Cheng Yuhang, and Yang Yunhao were a little embarrassed, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thanking Uncle Daming for drawing the fire away from them.
After dinner, the children continued to watch TV during their holiday.
Lu Ming and the mothers of the three boys went to Xue Meiting's house next door to play mahjong and chatted about the children's plans.
Jiangtai Group certainly has enough resources to support several male students in conducting scientific research competitions and pursuing a path of excellence.
These are all minor matters.
After chatting for a few minutes, Mei Yanping turned to Lu Mingdao and asked, "What are your plans for this winter vacation? Are you going back to your hometown?"
"Forget about my hometown. I've discussed a collaborative video project with Ji Leping from the top-performing class. The theme is a winter break competition between second-rate academic geniuses from the top-performing class!"
Lu Ming was talking about serious matters, concerning the traffic and followers of the account "Lu Daqi Tongxue".
The three mature women had absolutely no interest in such matters.
After playing a card, Xue Meiting jokingly said, "Da Ming, how about we live like this from now on? President Mei will be the boss, and Pan Li and I will be your concubines!"
"Weren't you going to team up with Miao Yuyan to find a domineering CEO?" Lu Ming's eleven-point memory was too good, and he immediately thought of something and cleverly changed the subject.
"It was probably just a casual remark. I'm not that close to her. Besides, are domineering CEOs so easy to find?"
Xue Meiting herself had forgotten about this matter.
Among the six women in the mothers' group, she, Mei Yanping, and Pan Li are all close friends who have known each other for more than ten years, and they can be considered a small clique within the mothers' group.
Yao Yao, Miao Yuyan, and Han Huilan are definitely somewhat xenophobic, but they are just very discreet about it.
That's how women are; even within a group, there are smaller subgroups.
Lu Ming leisurely picked up his cards, played a blank card, and then joked, "At the current pace of my influencer account, if I work hard on my career, I'll definitely become a domineering CEO someday!"
He's not so easy to find.
"Just don't get a girlfriend in college!" Mei Yanping happened to be there, making a total of three blank cards.
After becoming the female chairman of the Jiangtai Group, she took a big step forward, and her life pursuits and mindset quietly changed. Now she just wants to focus on her career and strive to be on equal footing with the two Ma's as soon as possible.
At that time, who will still want a husband?
