After drinking tea, class time was almost here, so Lu Yiming and Li Quanwang returned to school.

In the classroom, six ceiling fans were whirring, but the muggy heat in the air seemed to show no sign of weakening.

The weather in Guangdong Province is basically like summer all year round, and it is so hot that people feel dizzy.

Lu Yiming went to the water dispenser in the classroom miscellaneous room and took a little water and applied it on his face and the back of his neck. Feeling the short-term coolness, he missed the good times accompanied by air conditioning more and more.

After returning to his seat and sitting down, Shi Qingxue handed over the cold wet tissue and smiled softly: "Here, wipe it quickly."

Lu Yiming was not polite, took the wet tissue and put it on his forehead, absorbing all the sticky sweat.

Shi Qingxue held her chin and asked with concern: "The English competition is about to start this weekend. Are you ready?"

Lu Yiming twisted the tissue in his hand into a ball and responded confidently and calmly: "That depends on you. If you give me some motivation, maybe I can still win the prize."

Shi Qingxue curled her lips, looked at Lu Yiming's malicious smile, and asked warily: "What motivation do you want?"

"Kiss me?"

Shi Qingxue angrily stretched out her hand to pinch Lu Yiming's cheek, her beautiful eyes widened: "I knew it! You are thinking about such weird things in your head."

The old god Lu Yiming said on the ground: "My fair lady, you are such a gentleman. Isn't it strange that I don't want to do this in my prime years? If you don't kiss me, then I will reluctantly kiss you?"

"Humph, don't even think about it!"

Seeing Shi Qingxue's angry look, Lu Yiming was in a good mood.

This carefree campus life now is truly happy.

The news that the competition was approaching quickly spread in the school. Everyone knew that the English competition was going to be held at the weekend. Those who signed up for the competition immediately became the focus, and people would talk about it wherever they went.

Not only that, because of the relatively high standards of this competition, it was even published in newspapers, and students from various schools were included in the competition, which aroused widespread discussion in the society.

In this era, the enthusiasm for English seems a bit unreasonable. Anyone who can speak an authentic London accent will definitely be the object of admiration. Parents call the children of "other people's families" - even though no one knows the London accent.

What kind of accent is it?

When she got home in the evening, Ning Xuehua served steaming seafood porridge.

"Tonight's seafood porridge, I specially added some dried shrimps to supplement calcium. By the way, I heard that you participated in some English competition? Are you sure?"

Ning Xuehua couldn't understand anything about Lu Yiming's undertakings, so she could only care about her son's studies.

Lu Yiming originally didn't care about this kind of competition. He didn't expect that the standards were so high and it was in the newspapers. Now that his mother is still so concerned, he can only say: "I'm still sure, but all the people participating in the competition are from various schools."

As a top student, I can only say that I will try my best to get a ranking."

Lu Ding had recently cooperated with Jianlai Technology to produce computer cases, and the order problems had been solved, so he became particularly concerned about his son. He said with great certainty: "You are so smart, there must be no problem."

Lu Yiming couldn't help complaining: "In this kind of competition, ability is only one aspect. I'm afraid of meeting relevant people."

If Lu Yiming had said such words in the past, Lu Ding would definitely have criticized Lu Yiming for having incorrect views and told his son not to think wildly at such a young age.

But Lu Ding runs a factory himself, and is currently participating in Guangzhou Automobile Honda's parts procurement bidding. Naturally, he knows the rules of how this society operates. Things like connections are inevitable everywhere.

In fact, it is not just the case in China. Europe and the United States, which are said to be fair and free, are not much better after removing the fig leaf. The generals in the Pentagon also charge "consultant fees."

After thinking about it, Lu Ding could only advise his son: "Don't worry about this, just do your best. The most important thing is the college entrance examination."

"Um."

The family was chatting when there was a knock on the door outside. Ning Xuehua went over to open the door and saw that it was Li Quanwang's family of three.

"Why are you here? Come in quickly."

Ning Xuehua gave up half of her body, and Li Quanwang handed the two large gift boxes he carried to Ning Xuehua with a cautious attitude: "Auntie, this is for you."

Ning Xuehua greeted politely: "Come as soon as you come, do you have anything else to bring? Husband, hurry up and boil some water for tea."

Huang Jijiao also had a smile on her face: "I came here tonight just to thank you for taking care of our Wangzi. Especially Mingzai, you also help our Mingzai learn English."

Later, Huang Jijiao took out a book of gilded invitations and said, "One more thing, we bought a new house and will be moving soon. Then you must come over and have a glass of wine."

"Ah? You've moved into a new house? Congratulations. We'll definitely be there to share in the joy."

Li Quanwang's family sat for a while and then left.

Ning Xuehua looked at the invitation and said with emotion after a long time: "It's not easy for the couple. They left their hometown and came to Baiyun to work hard. After so many years, they finally have a place to stay."

Lu Ding was also lamenting and felt deeply about this: "The couple are indeed very pragmatic people. It is indeed not easy to grit their teeth and work hard for so many years. After all, it is not a problem to always rent other people's houses.

ah."

Lu Yiming curled his lips and said: "I think they are being a little too grand. They have been poor for a long time and suddenly become rich, and they are still publicizing it so much. I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the future."

Lu Ding raised his eyebrows, looked at Lu Yiming, and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Lu Yiming sighed after hearing this: "Dad, isn't this obvious? Think about it, whose family doesn't have a few poor relatives? When the Dingyuan Mold Factory was booming, those so-called relatives came to our house every day. You

Forgot? I have never heard of eight of my ten relatives. The same goes for them. I don’t know how many people will come to my door and lend money. I don’t know if you will lose money if you give it to someone like this.

If you give it, it will hurt the relationship and you will be in a dilemma."

Ning Xuehua has a different view: "I have been a coward for most of my life, and now I can finally show off. Is it wrong? Besides, if you don't return home if you are rich, you are like walking in brocade at night, always hiding it. How can you be happy as a human being? Since

They have taken this step and will definitely get better and better in the future."

Then, Ning Xuehua changed the subject and brought up another matter: "By the way, your cousin said she had collected 300,000 yuan to buy your financial product."

Lu Yiming had no objection to this and agreed casually: "Okay."

Although this little money was not enough for anything, after all, it was his relatives who wanted to earn some pocket money, so Lu Yiming naturally would not disobey them and readily agreed.

Ning Xuehua, on the other hand, gave many warnings: "I've made a promise to you, you won't be able to hold on to this money later, your cousin will earn interest."

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "Mom, don't worry, this money is in my hands, and I guarantee that the interest will be higher than Buffett's interest."
