Chapter 88 is all insider trading, a sure win.
The Yabin Cup College Basketball Tournament progressed very quickly, mainly because Han Huilan was very obedient and willing to spend money. Student unions from various universities in the city quickly received tens of thousands of yuan in organization fees.
Money makes things easier.
The competition was launched on Tuesday, and by Thursday afternoon, the first round of the competition had begun within Jiangsu University of Science and Technology.
On Saturday and Sunday, each class played one game in the morning and one game in the afternoon.
Lu Ming's situation went quite smoothly, thanks to the Jiangtai Cup high school basketball tournament, where he, Hu Jinyu, and Huang Jiaxuan developed a very good teamwork.
Meng Jun, who is in the class, graduated from the High School Affiliated to the Normal University and also participated in this competition.
Even the squad leader, Zhong Ziteng, is quite tall and has a good basketball skill level.
With Lu Ming leading the team, the boys in the class have won seven games in a row, each by a large margin.
After winning twenty consecutive matches, completing side quest (six), and gaining some resilience, Lu Ming specially treated a dozen or so classmates from the team to barbecue on the street.
Men and boys are both very simple.
After a few beers, Zhong Ziteng was so eager to recognize Lu Ming as his sworn brother that he complained, "Teacher Lu, tell me, what is it about me that makes me unworthy of Chen Yiyan? Every time I invite her out, she refuses."
Lu Ming chuckled and took a sip of his beer, teasingly saying, "That just means your relationship with Hu Jinyu isn't good enough. That guy knows a lot of secrets he hasn't told you!"
Hu Jinyu hurriedly raised his hands and begged for mercy, saying, "Teacher Lu, please don't harm me. I dare not say anything about Chen Yiyan's family affairs."
Without Chen Yiyan's mother Yao Xuefang's connections in the province, her mother Lin Manna's media company would have collapsed long ago.
Lu Ming knew this, of course, and directly advised Zhong Ziteng: "You should change your target. Chen Yiyan's family situation is very complicated, so it's normal that she doesn't like you."
With your looks and qualifications, finding a pretty but ordinary girl to date at Jiangsu University of Science and Technology shouldn't be difficult at all!
Hu Jinyu then advised from the side, "Class monitor, you should be studying hard during your prime years. Why are you talking about love? If our teacher Lu hadn't had a relationship back then, he could be our doctoral supervisor now."
"That's true!"
Lu Ming nodded slightly, agreeing with Hu Jinyu's words.
We are all students in the Jiangsu University of Science and Technology's "Strong Foundation" program. We have good opportunities and excellent majors, so of course we should seize the time to strive for various competitions.
"I'm still a virgin!"
Zhong Ziteng couldn't help but complain.
He knew that although Hu Jinyu seemed to be single, he was definitely not short of women. He often went to bars and entertainment venues in the city on weekends and often didn't come home at night.
"You should try to learn from my past mistakes. The opportunity is so good now, the key is to strive for a direct PhD program as soon as possible. As for Chen Yiyan, her standards are too high!"
Lu Ming continued to try to persuade the class monitor of the Information and Computing Foundation Program, but the possibility was indeed too low.
"Actually, Mr. Lu, I think Chen Yiyan definitely likes you!" Zhong Ziteng drank two more beers and decided to speak frankly.
"That's normal, women all prefer handsome men!" Hu Jinyu immediately defended Lu Ming from the side.
Mr. Lu is exceptionally handsome; his mother fell for him at first sight.
In the last month or two, his mother has clearly succeeded. She is very excited every day. A few days ago, she even said that she would work hard to earn 100 million yuan and leave it all to him.
Sigh, that's why you can't just call someone "Dad" randomly!
Perhaps Lu Ming and Hu Jinyu's persuasion had some effect, because Zhong Ziteng asked Lu Ming, "Professor Lu, could you help me find a lab internship?"
"You'd better not come to my place. Spending all your internship with Chen Yiyan won't do you any good!"
Lu Ming's idea was for Zhong Ziteng to apply himself, to approach Zhu Weiping, the director of the Institute of Intelligent Science, or one of the other doctoral supervisors and associate professors.
Zhong Ziteng sighed silently.
"What's so great about Chen Yiyan?" Hu Jinyu was getting a little impatient. After trying to persuade him for a long time, the scoundrel was still only thinking about Chen Yiyan.
He had known Chen Yiyan since elementary school. He knew from a young age that Chen Yiyan was arrogant and looked down on boys who were not good enough, including him.
When she was in the top class, Chen Yiyan initially liked Ji Leping, and later she liked Teacher Lu. She liked both his looks and his grades, and only wanted the best.
"You don't understand, matters of the heart aren't something you can control!" Zhong Ziteng actually started acting like a Casanova.
Lu Ming and Hu Jinyu exchanged a glance, both thinking that Zhong Ziteng was an idiot.
Ignoring her family background and her post-surgery appearance, Chen Yiyan is really just an ordinary person.
Anyway, Lu Ming and Hu Jinyu didn't think much of her, but they wouldn't reveal the secret that Chen Yiyan had undergone plastic surgery.
After all, Zhong Ziteng has no connection with either of them, and they will go their separate ways in a few years, while Chen Yiyan is a friend in the industry, and they will be friends for a long time.
Especially for Hu Jinyu, he had known Chen Yiyan since junior high school.
Given the close friendship between their mothers, and following the current trajectory, he will likely still be friends with Chen Yiyan when he's in his seventies or eighties.
Like, going into business together!
After eating and drinking at the west gate of the school, and enjoying barbecue skewers until 10 p.m., Lu Ming paid the bill and then handed over the rest of the work to Hu Jinyu and Huang Jiaxuan.
He walked to the Longhua Building across the street.
Coincidentally, today I'm going to have a game of ball skills with Chen Yiyan and Hu Jinyu's mothers.
Both Constitution and Resilience have been raised to nine points. With the 15% all-attribute bonus from the "Wealth and Honor Cannot Be Moved" title, it's basically equivalent to a double ten points.
Lu Ming carefully reviewed his side quests on the way.
The "Women Influence Progress" series has three unfinished stories: the female professor, the mother-in-law, and the aunt's temptation.
It wasn't very difficult; he just wasn't in a hurry to finish it.
There are many tasks in the "Moral, Intellectual, Physical, Aesthetic and Labor" series, at least a dozen more, with five currently appearing at the same time.
Side quest (eight) still involves participating in college or city-level ball games, winning fifty matches, and receiving one point of physical attribute bonus.
Side quest (10) still involves participating in college or city-level ball games, winning 100 matches, and receiving one point of resilience as a reward.
Side Quest (12): Participate in the University Games and win at least four track and field events to earn one point of resilience.
Side Quest (14): Participate in the Provincial University Games and win at least two provincial track and field championships to receive one point of Agility attribute bonus.
Side Quest (16): Participate in the provincial chess and card game competition, enter the final round, or win the first prize to receive a lifespan attribute bonus.
How so?
Lu Ming felt that the system's side quests were much easier than the main quests, and the difficulty of obtaining attribute rewards was very low.
This is like a windfall!
Whatever!
Lu Ming was telling the truth. He was also somewhat resigned to his fate. Even if this system was a bit strange and might end up with a bad result, so what?
Let's enjoy ourselves for another ten years or so first!
On his way to the Longhua Club, he sent a few messages to several female chairpersons and arranged the entire event.
It's all insider trading, a guaranteed win, and they're manipulating the odds!
