Chapter 229 Jazz
Although Xiao Hanlin came from a wealthy family and had a domineering personality, his academic performance was excellent, usually ranking among the top three. The tragedy was that he never won the title of "number one" and was always the runner-up.
So as a follower, Zhao Guoxiang knew very well that among so many students in the class, the one Xiao Hanlin was most unhappy with was Zhou Zhiming.
That's why he is deliberately using words to isolate Zhou Zhiming among his classmates.
Zhou Zhiming glanced at Zhao Guoxiang but chose not to argue. He continued to read without changing his expression.
Zhao Guoxiang felt as if he had punched cotton with his fist. He couldn't exert any strength at all. He felt extremely uncomfortable and cursed in a low voice: "You only know how to study, you nerd."
With beauties in front of him, Xiao Hanlin had no intention of scheming against Zhou Zhiming. He straightened his collar and calmly walked in front of Wu Qiuya, appearing quite enthusiastic: "Welcome to Huangren College. I'm Xiao Hanlin. I guess this is your first time in Hong Kong, right?"
Wu Qiuya habitually lifted up the corner of her hair and replied, "Yes."
Xiao Hanlin, who had successfully struck up a conversation, immediately launched his offensive: "After school, do you want me to take you out to get familiar with the surroundings? The scenery of the Hong Kong River is nice, and there are also Ocean Park, Wan Chai Convention and Exhibition Center, or the top of Victoria Peak to overlook the entire island. These are all places worth seeing. I guarantee that your trip will be worthwhile."
Lu Yiming could see through Xiao Hanlin's plan at a glance, and immediately said jokingly: "From what I know, the tickets to Ocean Park alone are not cheap. It seems that this handsome guy is very rich."
Zhao Guoxiang, as his henchman, jumped out at this moment and boasted smugly, "Need I say more? This little money is nothing to Xiao Hanlin. His father is a knight! The family business even extends to Southeast Asia. They are very powerful and have extensive connections."
Europeans who have not completely undergone revolution still like the feudal relics such as noble titles even in the new century. Hong Kong has been under colonial rule for 155 years, and the cultural customs of Britain have also been deeply imprinted on many people.
For the sake of a so-called title, many Hong Kong elites are willing to work for Britain.
During the colonial era in Hong Kong, the British supported a large number of local forces in order to facilitate management and colonization. No matter who they were, as long as they could help them manage the "untouchables", they would be made kings and given titles.
For example, Xiao Hanlin's family is now a family of some kind of lord thanks to the virtue of their ancestors.
However, Zhao Guoxiang seemed to have forgotten that today's Hong Kong is no longer the Hong Kong of two years ago, and the knighthood title he was proud of has become a "remnant of the previous dynasty". Now he is still relying on the "imperial sword" of the previous dynasty to act arrogantly, which only makes people laugh.
But no one laughed.
After all, it has only been two years since his return, and his influence is still there. When people heard that Xiao Hanlin's family was a knight, they were still somewhat respectful.
No matter whether the social status is as high as before, at least it is real that you are rich.
Then Wu Qiuya's mind began to become active again, as if it was setting off a huge surging wave.
She looked at Xiao Hanlin with seductive eyes, but she hated that this was a classroom instead of a hotel.
Wu Qiuya swallowed her saliva, tried to hide the look in her eyes that seemed to see her prey, and said in a reserved manner: "Xiao is so enthusiastic, but we just met, isn't this too expensive?"
Wu Qiuya's bright eyes flickered, her red lips were smiling, and she looked as if she wanted to speak but was shy, and wanted to refuse but was also willing. Coupled with her pretty face like a flower, even the battle-hardened Xiao Hanlin was unable to resist. His eyes swept over Wu Qiuya's body unscrupulously, and he wished he could hold her in his arms.
Not to mention Zhao Guoxiang and several other boys next to them. From the rise and fall of their Adam's apples, it can be seen that they are thirsty for salty food, and it is not a small thirst.
In front of everyone, Xiao Hanlin pretended to be polite and said, "No, you have come all the way from the mainland, so I should be a good host. As for spending money, that is not a problem at all."
Lu Jiajia felt that Xiao Hanlin was elegantly spoken and polite, so she did not have any bad feelings towards Xiao Hanlin's courtesy.
Although she often heard her father tell stories about foreign countries, she herself seldom went out. Now that Xiao Hanlin mentioned so many tourist attractions in one breath, she was even a little excited.
However, Lin Yuzhen felt that Xiao Hanlin's eyes looked at people strangely, which made her feel very uncomfortable. Although she couldn't tell why, she just didn't want to get too close to Xiao Hanlin.
"We just got here, I think we should not leave. After all, we are here to exchange and learn, we should still focus on studying, we can always have fun later."
As for Wu Qiuya, she naturally saw through Xiao Hanlin's impure motives at a glance, but in fact her motives were even more impure than Xiao Hanlin's, and she was even a little impatient.
High-end hunters often appear as prey.
Xiao Hanlin regarded Wu Qiuya as a delicious prey, but he didn't know that in Wu Qiuya's eyes, he was also a high-quality spare tire. If he couldn't get a high-quality stock like Lu Yiming, it would not be unacceptable to get close to a wealthy young man from Hong Kong.
Of course, Xiao Hanlin was not stupid. He saw that Lin Yuzhen was not easy to deal with, so he concentrated his firepower on attacking Wu Qiuya, intending to take her down first.
Ever since he was sent to Huangren College, a boys' school, by his family, Xiao Hanlin has not seen such high-quality prey for several years. At this moment, he was extremely grateful for the gift of nature.
He just said, "We should combine work and rest. We should study and play. The ancients also said that reading ten thousand books is like traveling ten thousand miles."
Wu Qiuya also agreed with a smile: "What Xiao Hanlin said makes a lot of sense."
Seeing Xiao Hanlin and Wu Qiuya getting along better and better, Li Zhengkai became anxious, but he was alone and powerless. Although his relative was rich, his father was not a knight, so he could not compete with him. In desperation, he had to ask for help from Lu Yiming beside him, and whispered: "Classmate Lu Yiming, what should we do? Xiao Hanlin is a person who has ulterior motives and is plotting against these girls!"
Seeing Li Zhengkai scratching his head anxiously, Lu Yiming was simply afraid that Wu Qiuya would be taken down by Xiao Hanlin, so he immediately said with a smile: "Alright, don't act like your motives are so pure. Don't you have any idea of what you are thinking? It's your freedom to be jealous. I'm not interested. Don't drag me into it."
While speaking, Lu Yiming was actually looking at the students in these classes.
He could clearly see that Xiao Hanlin was the leader of the class, and most of the students followed his lead.
Of course there are exceptions, such as Zhou Zhiming, who just sat in his seat reading a book and did not participate in any discussion at all.
This state of standing out from the crowd quickly aroused Lu Yiming's interest. After all, people who are close to vermilion will be red, and those who are close to ink will be black. Those who can stay clean in the mud are definitely a minority. Those who can achieve this state must be extraordinary people with great ambitions.
Lu Yiming focused his attention on Zhou Zhiming, but then he was shocked.
I saw the outline of the person in front of me...I seemed a little familiar with him!
The more Lu Yiming thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. The impression and memory of this person in his mind gradually became clearer.
"It's actually him?"
Lu Yiming recognized Zhou Zhiming. The person in front of him was clearly a future software technology expert!
After searching his mind, Lu Yiming finally remembered a lot of information about Zhou Zhiming. He remembered that after graduating from high school, he enrolled in the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
Zhou Zhiming possesses an amazing talent for mathematics and is a true genius with an IQ of over 140. In college, he taught himself computer programming and became a top programmer. Later, he went to Silicon Valley alone to work hard and became very successful.
It only took him two years to become a senior software engineer at Google. He then struck out on his own and founded a software company that specializes in providing technical support to some Internet companies.
Even before his rebirth, Lu Yiming had taken over this man's outsourcing orders!
This is such a treasure!
Who is Lu Yiming?
He is more cunning than a monkey when it comes to sticking to hair. The bespectacled guy in front of me is a rare commodity. If you don't take advantage of the opportunity, you'd be a bastard. It's a rare opportunity to meet such a genius, so how can you let him go?
At that moment, Lu Yiming walked towards Zhou Zhiming with a smile on his face, sat down next to him, and said, "Hello, classmate Zhou Zhiming."
Zhou Zhiming, who was concentrating on reading, looked up suddenly after hearing this, and asked in a daze: "Do you know me?"
Lu Yiming pointed to the exercise book on the table and said, "My name is written on it. Let me introduce myself. My name is Lu Yiming. Both of our names contain the character 'Ming', which means that we are destined to be together. How about we be friends?"
Zhou Zhiming said "Oh" and continued reading "Matrix Theory" in his hand. He ignored Lu Yiming who wanted to make friends with him.
If it were someone else, they might think that Zhou Zhiming has low emotional intelligence and is not good at socializing.
But Lu Yiming knew that the other party was too lazy to chat with others and only focused on the people and topics that interested him.
So if Lu Yiming wanted to attract the other party's attention, he had to find the right topic. He lowered his head and glanced at the book Zhou Zhiming was reading with great interest, and immediately came up with a plan: "I didn't expect that you have already started studying linear transformation?"
Originally developed as a tool, matrices have become an independent branch of mathematics over more than two centuries. They are extremely versatile and can even be used to construct mathematical models of quantum mechanics.
To people who don't have a talent for mathematics, this thing looks like a heavenly book, so when Lu Yiming opened his mouth, Zhou Zhiming was quite surprised: "You know this?"
Lu Yiming smiled confidently, "I know a little bit, a little bit. The math problems are usually too simple and lack challenge, so I occasionally study something interesting out of interest. It's a pity that for other people, this knowledge is too profound. I can't find anyone to discuss it with on weekdays."
If you want to communicate with a genius, you must first package yourself as a genius. Otherwise, you will not even have common topics, and you cannot even understand what they are talking about. Why would the other party pay attention to you?
While everyone is busy reviewing their lessons for the college entrance exam, Zhou Zhiming still has the time and energy to teach himself profound mathematical knowledge.
This is the world of top students. They truly enjoy learning because with their IQ, they don’t need to “study hard” at all.
Only ordinary people need to grit their teeth and work hard.
"Is it profound? I think it's OK."
Zhou Zhiming was still very curious: "You watch this too?"
“I have.”
Lu Yiming nodded slightly, his face full of confidence: "After all, matrix theory has now developed into an independent branch of mathematics, which is very effective in solving algebraic problems. I have dabbled in this area a little bit."
The other students in Class A thought Zhou Zhiming was a nerd who didn't understand the ways of the world, but in fact, it was just the opposite.
A genius student like Zhou Zhiming not only has a very high IQ, but also a high EQ. After all, no matter how complicated human nature is, it is no more difficult to understand than an advanced algebra problem.
The reason why Zhou Zhiming behaved so dull was that he didn't want to waste time on meaningless socializing.
After all, if a genius wants to communicate with an idiot, he must first lower his IQ to the level of the idiot, and often gain nothing. In the eyes of smart people, it is better to learn more useful knowledge to improve their abilities so that they can stand out in the future.
Therefore, the approach Lu Yiming adopted was to elevate himself to the same level as Zhou Zhiming and have an in-depth and easy-to-understand communication.
In fact, the same is true in love life. Many goddesses who seem cold and aloof to you, when you get into their hearts, you will find that she is much wilder than you imagined.
I'm not being aloof, I'm just too lazy to pay attention to you.
The other side.
Wu Qiuya and Xiao Hanlin were chatting enthusiastically.
After all, the man is in love with the woman, and it is natural that the two of them are passionate about each other.
In order to show off his family background, Xiao Hanlin boasted, "I just bought a sports car recently. I'm taking three beauties for a ride tonight. It's guaranteed to be fun and exciting."
Wu Qiuya pretended to be surprised and said, "Your sports car can seat four people? I heard that sports cars usually have two seats, right?"
Her original intention, of course, was to go out with Xiao Hanlin alone. If she brought in Lu Jiajia and Lin Yuzhen, two burdens, how could she implement her plan?
However, Xiao Hanlin didn't know whether he didn't understand Wu Qiuya's implication or he was greedy. He smiled and said, "Mine is a two-door four-seater sports car. You don't have this in the mainland, right? I'm not saying that you in the mainland are too backward. I guess even electric lights haven't been popularized yet, right?"
Although Xiao Hanlin was talking to Wu Qiuya, he would of course look at Lin Yuzhen from time to time.
Facing Xiao Hanlin's undisguised gaze, Lin Yuzhen felt extremely disgusted, but she couldn't show it, so she wanted to pull Lu Yiming over as a shield to drive away this annoying fly.
She glanced around and found that Lu Yiming was not by her side at the moment, but was chatting enthusiastically with a boy. She was so angry that she stomped her feet.
This Lu Yiming was actually having such a great time chatting with a boy, is there something wrong with him?
