Chapter 58 The mothers' group has started fighting amongst themselves.
Lu Ming wasn't really surprised by Mrs. Fang's mothers' group, because he had long realized that his own path was a bit special.
It's especially popular with female chairpersons and mature women!
How so?
Perhaps because they are the same age, these women feel that they have a better chance of winning him over. If it were a young, handsome, muscular man, he might not be interested in them!
At most, they're just after their money.
Professor Lu Daqi is different!
Hey!
Lu Ming could only pretend not to know for the time being and let Hu Jinyu handle the problem on his own.
Hua Rui Middle School now enrolls 25 or 26 classes each year, with about 40 students in each class.
With so many classes lining up to play in the Jiangtai Cup Basketball Invitational Tournament, even after losing two games, Lu Ming still managed to secure ten victories for his team.
While gaining some resilience, you also unlock side quest (six)!
It still belongs to the "moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor" series!
April 4th is a Sunday.
The semifinals and finals of the Jiangtai Cup Basketball Invitational Tournament finally kicked off at the gymnasium of Huarui Middle School.
Because public schools are now prohibited from dividing classes based on academic performance, and from having "rocket classes" (high-achieving classes). No high schools like No. 1 Middle School, No. 4 Middle School, and the affiliated high school have rocket classes; they only have innovation classes.
Actually, it's not as good as it used to be!
Many students in the innovation class come from families with resources that allow them to participate in provincial and municipal-level scientific research competitions.
The format for the final round of the Jiangtai Cup Invitational Tournament is very simple.
The four teams will play two semi-final matches in the morning and two final matches in the afternoon, each lasting half an hour. Each team will receive an appearance fee of 10,000 yuan, which will be used to hold a classmate reunion and a teacher appreciation banquet after the college entrance examination.
The champion receives a prize of 30,000 yuan, while the runner-up and third-place winners each receive 10,000 yuan.
Around 8 a.m., the four teams arrived at the gymnasium of Huarui Middle School to warm up. The stands on both sides were also set up and filled with students from Huarui Middle School, as well as leaders from several prestigious high schools and parents of the various teams.
Lu Ming ran into an old acquaintance as soon as he entered the venue.
The teacher leading the group from No. 1 High School was actually Huang Wenjuan, a college classmate, the deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office, and the head of the senior year.
She and Miao Yuyan were also university classmates, and they greeted each other warmly as soon as they met, as if they had a good relationship back in school.
"Daming, you're so much more handsome than before!" Huang Wenjuan's eyes lit up when she saw Lu Ming.
That's amazing.
Although I had seen Lu Ming's latest photos on WeChat Moments, I always thought they were edited with beauty filters. I never expected that he would be even more handsome in real life than in the photos. He is an absolute beauty!
Miao Yuyan whispered in his ear, "Don't talk nonsense. He spent a lot of money at the beauty salon to get Botox injections and IPL skin rejuvenation in order to get a better number."
It seems like they're revealing secrets, but it's actually avoiding the important points; everyone just knows what's going on in their hearts anyway.
Oh!
Huang Wenjuan then realized what was going on and laughed, "No wonder he's become so handsome! Speaking of which, our Ming Dynasty really has a good foundation; he was the class heartthrob back in college!"
She always felt that Lu Ming had gotten taller, but it was probably because Lu Ming had lost a lot of weight compared to previous years, making him appear taller.
Miao Yuyan immediately changed the subject from beauty, laughing, "I remember Jiang Xiaoyan from your dorm, she even had a crush on Lu Ming back then!"
"Don't just talk about others. Didn't you also want to pursue Da Ming back then? Now you can finally take advantage of your proximity, right?"
Huang Wenjuan joked with a grin, but what she said was actually quite blunt.
Lu Ming knew very well that this woman definitely looked down on Miao Yuyan in private, and that she had risen to power by relying on her beauty, even becoming the vice principal of Huarui Middle School.
Miao Yuyan was somewhat aware of the situation, but she wasn't angry. Instead, she laughed and said, "Da Ming is preparing to retake the entrance exam for a top-tier university (985) and find a young and beautiful girlfriend while he's there!"
"Oh, Daming, you're so ambitious!" As a middle-aged woman, Huang Wenjuan immediately shared Miao Yuyan's indignation.
Damn it, they actually look down on these mature women!
Strong, independent women are very likely to get divorced!
According to what Lu Ming heard in the classmates' group, Huang Wenjuan used to insist on being childless, wanting to focus on their careers together and not let children affect their quality of life, and so on.
The man hadn't objected at first, but after switching jobs a few years ago to a middle-to-upper-level position at a large factory in the south, he divorced Huang Wenjuan.
This is fucking embarrassing!
So don't be fooled by those men on TV who fawn over their wives all day long, and even when their wives cause all sorts of trouble, they always manage to reconcile in the end. These shows are just for women.
Because men simply don't watch these kinds of TV dramas.
In real society, any man who succeeds is incredibly shrewd!
The three old classmates exchanged pleasantries in a seemingly warm manner.
It wasn't until Huang Wenjuan returned to the No. 1 Middle School team that Miao Yuyan quietly told Lu Ming, "She has neither a husband nor children now, and she can't make it in her career either. From the principal of No. 1 Middle School to the director of academic affairs, every one of them is a male leader with connections."
Women understand women; she knew all too well how much Huang Wenjuan was suppressing her feelings.
"Oh!"
Lu Ming felt no sympathy for Huang Wenjuan whatsoever.
His memory is exceptionally good now; he can even remember Huang Wenjuan arguing with a boy during her university days, which was quite strange back then.
"Actually, I think many of the ideas we've absorbed from abroad over the years are just messy propaganda, and they're actually harming people. The methods left by our ancestors are still the most reliable!"
Miao Yuyan, the vice principal of a prestigious high school, has now begun to reflect on social issues.
"That's what I think too!"
Lu Ming nodded in strong agreement.
Unexpectedly.
Miao Yuyan then grinned mischievously and said, "I now think polygamy is pretty good too."
How wishful thinking! They're setting up another scheme!
Lu Ming retorted sarcastically, "Weren't you and Xue Meiting supposed to team up to find a young, handsome, and domineering CEO? Six months have passed, and you still haven't found one?"
Miao Yuyan snorted unhappily and said, "In our mothers' group, she's in cahoots with President Mei and Pan Licai. They've been ostracizing Yao Yao and me. But Yao Yao and I are secretly teaming up too."
It's probably because after Xue Meiting became the female president of Jiangtai Group, she stopped wasting time being her best friend and has gradually drifted apart recently.
"So how did you and Yao Yao get together?"
Lu Ming felt that this matter was a bit strange. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't believe that Yao Yao would take the initiative to become best friends with Miao Yuyan. That fake rich heiress was very wealthy and had high aspirations and high standards.
Miao Yuyan said with a smile, "She often took the initiative to talk to me in order to make videos for you, and we gradually became friends. Let me tell you, Yao Yao is much better than Xue Meiting. She's especially good to me. With President Han included, the three of us are practically a team."
"oh!"
Lu Ming roughly understood.
The mothers' group around him, because Mei Yanping, Xue Meiting, and Pan Li were in the same group and had known each other for a long time, did ostracize Miao Yuyan and Yao Yao, and as a result, it gradually split into two small groups.
Women are strange.
There are only six women in the mothers' group, yet they still managed to split into two factions.
Miao Yuyan muttered in a very low voice, "Daming, Yao Yao is quite wealthy and very generous. She doesn't want to get married, but she wants to have one or two children early. This is your chance!"
Oh?
Yao Yao even told her best friend Miao Yuyan about the matter of borrowing sperm.
"Did she say that?"
Lu Ming pretended that he was unaware of the matter.
"Of course she said it herself, and if you're willing, the two children can even take your surname!"
Miao Yuyan couldn't wait to persuade her. Although she felt that Yao Yao was using her, she couldn't help but want to help Yao Yao.
The main reason is that Yao Yao gives her too much and treats her very well, unlike President Mei and President Han who just treat her like a beast of burden and like to order her around.
Xue Meiting even said that she was stingy and miserly, and that they were gradually becoming less affectionate than before!
With a son by her side, what opportunities could she possibly have?
As Lu Ming's old classmate, a muscular and handsome internet celebrity, she could speak to him to some extent, so she might as well help her best friend Yao Yao and benefit from it in the future.
Anyway, Yao Yao has no intention of marrying a man at all, and she even said that good sisters should share happiness, implying so obviously!
