Chapter 16 They actually refused to help her raise her son.
Fortunately, we're all adults!
Miao Yuyan only provoked Lu Ming slightly before sighing, "I thought nothing would happen today, but I just received news that the new boss will be personally inspecting the school this afternoon, and the whole school will have to suspend classes for a major cleaning."
Lu Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then asked with some curiosity, "Who is the new boss?"
After searching for a page on her phone, Miao Yuyan handed it to Lu Ming and said, "Jiangtai Group has been selling off various industries to save itself in the past two years. Last month, it sold the school to a female boss in the Ningzhou textile industry, who is said to have a net worth of several hundred billion."
"Is it that amazing?"
Lu Ming picked up his phone and browsed the encyclopedia of business figures.
Ms. Han Huilan, the chairwoman of Ningzhou Yabin Textile Holding Group, is quite beautiful in the photos. She is also an actress who graduated from the Central Academy of Drama. Later, she married the CEO of a coal group in Shanxi Province.
More than a decade ago, this CEO was assassinated by a friend at a dinner party.
Ms. Han inherited part of the assets and later returned to Ningzhou to start her own textile company, mainly dealing in mid-to-high-end fabrics and foreign trade OEM. She also owns an art school.
According to the encyclopedia entry, Ms. Han is not very wealthy, and her company is not publicly listed.
Miao Yuyan seemed to have guessed Lu Ming's thoughts and said, "She is very capable. Not only has she invested a lot of money in several private equity funds, but she has also invested in an overseas clothing e-commerce platform."
"oh!"
Lu Ming roughly knew which e-commerce platform Ms. Han was an investor in.
In recent years, there has been a very powerful overseas e-commerce platform that originated in Ningzhou.
No wonder they have the money to invest in private high schools.
It's just a light drizzle!
The new chairman was coming to inspect the school that afternoon, so Miao Yuyan dared not take it lightly. She handed over all the first-year high school monthly exam papers to Lu Ming and left in a hurry.
There is no division between arts and sciences in the first year of high school, and the monthly exams cover a total of ten subjects.
The requirement for the main quest (one) is to get at least three excellent grades. After Lu Ming raised his memory attribute to nine points, he focused on geography, biology and history.
All of them are subjects that require rote memorization.
In addition, he also appropriately takes into account his original forte, mathematics.
He took out the monthly exam papers for all four subjects, glanced through them briefly, and felt that they were not very difficult.
History is undoubtedly the simplest subject, so let's start with this subject's exam paper.
Without a formal school registration, it's uncertain whether randomly choosing a school to take the high school monthly exam will ultimately meet the system's requirements.
Lu Ming could only try his best, and if it really didn't work, he would think of other ways.
As expected, Hua Rui Middle School started a major cleaning in the morning. Students were even assigned to the administration building to sprinkle water, sweep, mop, and wipe windows outside.
On the contrary, Lu Ming was quietly taking the exam.
In one morning, he had completed three test papers: history, geography, and biology, and checked them repeatedly.
Compared to when he was in high school, all subjects are now significantly more difficult, especially math, physics, chemistry, and English.
Even though there are more knowledge points in geography and history, the test points are also very scattered.
Improving your memory to nine points is undoubtedly a good choice.
Not only can you quickly recover your memories from previous studies through review, but it also makes it very easy to master new knowledge.
Anyway, Lu Ming definitely didn't have such a good memory when he was in high school.
Even if it's a long passage of several thousand words, you can memorize it by reading it several times, and then review it every few days.
Memorizing vocabulary becomes much easier.
After checking all three monthly exam papers he had completed, Lu Ming sent a message to his old classmate Miao Yuyan: "Are there any standard answers? How are the papers graded?"
soon.
Miao Yuyan sent a location and said, "I'd like to invite you to lunch at the staff canteen. Bring your exam paper over; I can just scan it with my phone."
Is grading papers this convenient nowadays?
Lu Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling both curious and unsurprised.
The development of AI technology in recent years has been incredibly rapid, changing with each passing day. It's hard to imagine how many jobs will be taken over by AI in the future.
He packed up his test papers and headed to the cafeteria according to the directions given by Miao Yuyan.
The campus layout of Huarui Middle School is remarkably similar to that of Jiangxi Normal University. In the center are the teaching buildings, administration buildings, comprehensive buildings, and library; to the north are the gymnasium, playground, and auditorium; to the west is a scenic park; and to the east are the dormitory area and canteen.
Even the layout of the school cafeteria is quite similar, with the main hall on the first floor, which can accommodate thousands of students to eat together.
The second floor houses the staff canteen and a dozen or so small restaurants that have been contracted out. There's also a third floor above, but I don't know what its purpose is.
Lu Ming arrived on the second floor and entered a Cantonese restaurant according to the message sent by Miao Yuyan.
The two sat in a corner booth and ordered four dishes.
After the waiter left, Lu Ming handed the three completed test papers to Miao Yuyan and said, "Could you check my scores for me?"
"Sure!"
Miao Yuyan took out her phone, opened an AI education platform, and scanned both sides of the three test papers.
The average grading time is only a few seconds, and the results are quickly available.
Aside from barely getting an A in biology, I scored close to full marks in geography and history, with 95 and 97 respectively.
"Da Ming, you've really put in a lot of effort to tutor your daughter!" Miao Yuyan couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"What else can we do? She's our only daughter. She understands the principles, but she just can't endure hardship. I can only tutor her and study with her myself."
Lu Ming was really helpless about Rui Rui's attitude towards learning. Recently, he personally tutored her for an hour every night, and only after trying every means could he barely see any results.
"You're such a responsible father!"
Miao Yuyan felt increasingly regretful; it was a pity that they were unwilling to help her raise her son.
She still wasn't willing to give up on this matter.
Now it seems that if she were to remarry Neng Luming, it would not only be of great benefit to her, ensuring she could eat her fill every day, but it would also be beneficial to her son.
We have to think of a solution!
Lu Ming used the AI education platform on his phone to check his mistakes, feeling somewhat anxious and uneasy, wondering if his actions would meet the system's requirements.
Fortunately, the system eventually beeped, and then the green-text black screen interface resembling DOS appeared.
"Completed main quest (one), gained one free attribute point!"
"To unlock Main Quest (Part Two), participate in the high school exams and achieve excellent grades in at least five subjects, you will receive one free attribute point!"
"To unlock Main Quest (3), participate in the high school exams and achieve excellent grades in all ten subjects, you will receive one free attribute point!"
This scene made Lu Ming secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Although they do not have high school student status, it seems that as long as they complete the corresponding test papers and meet the corresponding requirements, they can complete the task.
Since it's à la carte, it might take ten minutes or more to eat.
Lu Ming pretended to use the AI platform on Miao Yuyan's phone to check and correct her mistakes, but secretly manipulated the system to directly add the newly acquired attribute points to her intelligence.
At present, allocating attribute points to memory is more beneficial for completing main quests (two) and (three), but in the long run, it is definitely more valuable to improve intelligence.
