"Dad, I'll leave the rest to you. I still have the mock exam in the afternoon. I'll rush home as soon as possible to help you," Lu Yuxi said calmly, as if nothing had happened a few hours ago.
"Okay, go ahead." Lu Zhengming looked at the dilapidated area in front of him, unable to calm down for a long time.
When Lu Yuxi passed by a police officer who was investigating the scene, she hinted, "If you can't find anything, you have to go to the Li Corporation to find out."
Officer Wu looked at the distant Lu Yuxi and said to a fellow officer, "Close the net and go to the Li Corporation."
The reason why Lu Yuxi knew it was the Li Corporation's doing was because in her previous life, she had paid close attention to the situation of her jewelry shop explosion. The police only found out about the Li Corporation's influence after the explosion took place but not after a long time had passed. Eventually, justice was served to the Li family.
They cleared the Lu Corporation's name, but they did not recover a single cent of the one billion yuan lost from the jewelry that was destroyed.
When Lu Yuxi arrived at the examination venue in the afternoon, she was immediately surrounded by students led by Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran did not even blink. "Tell me, what happened to you in the morning? You finished writing in less than half an hour, and you were all right."
Lu Yuxi smiled awkwardly. "Hehe, the questions were quite simple. You could finish them with a stroke of your hand."
"Simple? Are you kidding me? This time, the principal invited a famous professor to come up with the questions. How can it be simple!" the boy behind Xiao Ran said.
"Exactly, it was so difficult. I handed in my papers ten minutes before the bell rang," another classmate said.
Xiao Ran stared at Lu Yuxi. The more she stared, the closer she got...
"Xiao Ran, why are you staring at me like that?" Lu Yuxi was a little helpless.
Xiao Ran ignored her and continued to stare.
"I'm also a reader," Lu Yuxi said while Xiao Ran still had her eyes glued on her.
"It's true, I'm really a reader," Lu Yuxi continued to say.
Xiao Ran delivered more stares.
"Alright, stop staring. Pages 119, 257, and 324. There are key points there. Aside from that, there's really nothing else." Lu Yuxi did not even know what the key points were. In her previous life, she had scored 52 points and was ridiculed by Wang Maihe before desperately reading the exam questions.
In addition, she had already graduated from college in her previous life and had been working hard to read since her rebirth. That was why it was so simple. But she could not say that to her friend who was still staring.
"I love you the most, Lu Yuxi." After saying that, she ran away without looking back.
When the other students surrounding her heard there were key points, they ran back to the classroom. There were still 40 minutes left for the exam, but they had to be at the exam venue half an hour early, which meant that there were still 10 minutes left.
Lu Yuxi took advantage of this time to lie down on the table and rest. She had not slept for a while.
"Ring..." The bell rang. The same teacher repeated the same instructions he gave earlier.
"The chemistry exam is 120 minutes. You can hand in your papers in advance. You cannot whisper to each other. If you are discovered by me, you will get 0 points straight away!" The instructor's threat did not make the noisy exam venue quiet down.
With the papers and answer sheets in her hands, Lu Yuxi did not write down her name and answered the questions directly.
She was being watched closely by the instructor. During the morning exam, he heard from the other teachers that there was a student named Lu Yuxi in Class F who handed in her papers in half an hour. He was told to be careful of her.
Lu Yuxi also noticed the teacher's gaze and glanced at the questions a bit before continuing to answer them.
Twenty minutes later, Lu Yuxi wrote down her name and student number. Amidst the astonished looks of her fellow classmates and the instructor, she handed in her mock exam.
The teacher paid close attention to the student so far. He did not see her do anything suspicious at all. Could it be that she had guessed her answers?
The instructor walked over to check Lu Yuxi's papers. When he saw it, his jaw almost dropped. The neat handwriting was consistent all throughout without any erasures. He flipped through a few of the difficult questions and saw that the answers were all correct. When did their school have such a genius?
The other students had not even entered the zone of concentration, but she had already handed in her paper!
Lu Yuxi packed her things and left quietly, leaving the students in the examination hall in a mess.
"Miss, didn't you have an exam? Why are you back so early?" Mother Hu took Lu Yuxi's backpack and asked curiously.
"I finished my exam already. Mother Hu, please take my bag to my room. By the way, where is my father?" Lu Yuxi asked as she changed her shoes at the entrance.
"The master is in the study with other shareholders present."
"Okay, I got it." Then she walked towards the study.
Knock, knock.
"Come in," a voice that sounded like Lu Zhengming's replied.
"Dad, I'm back." Then she greeted the 12 shareholders.
"Lu Yuxi, why are you back so early? Didn't you have an exam? You didn't miss the exam because of what happened earlier at the company, right?" Lu Zhengming looked a little serious.
"Dad, don't worry. I've already handed in my exam paper. I came back in a hurry to see what I can do," Lu Yuxi explained.
Lu Yuxi saw that Lu Zhengming's desk was filled with jewelry that Ling Lan had saved in the morning. She suddenly understood why her dad was holding a shareholders meeting at home.
"Dad, are you going to deal with this jewelry now?" Lu Yuxi picked up the jewelry and asked.
"We have three plans so far. First, we will make some of the other shopping malls' selling points smaller and squeeze out some places to relocate them. Second, we can only leave them empty for a period of time and wait for the new jewelry store to be built. Third, we will combine these two plans." After saying that, Lu Zhengming fell into deep thought.
The shareholders also started to discuss in whispers, hoping for a better plan.
"Dad, I have an idea." Lu Yuxi smiled confidently.
When Lu Zhengming heard that his mischievous daughter had another strange idea, he asked anxiously, "What idea do you have?"
The other shareholders listened to their conversation curiously.
"Why don't we hold a jewelry party and show off all kinds of jewelry? Our Lu jewelry has always been the leader in sales. Let those who are interested bid on their own and set a base price. The price will be very high. It will be a fancy auction sure to attract a lot of people!" Lu Yuxi voiced out her thoughts.
She received everyone's approval. "As expected of the daughter of the Lu family. Her thoughts are indeed amazing."
"Yes, the chairman has a successor!" Director Pei said jokingly.
"I didn't expect Miss Lu to be not only beautiful but also smart. I heard that she saved a lot of people from the explosion this morning," Director Luo said.
Lu Zhengming's face was greatly pleased as he smiled. As expected of his daughter, Lu Yuxi indeed had the wisdom of the Lu family.
"Okay, we'll do as you say. I'll send Secretary Liu to prepare in a while," Lu Zhengming said proudly.
After finishing her task, Lu Yuxi went to the kitchen.
"Miss, why are you here?" the chef sitting at the side of the kitchen asked. When the two apprentices saw Lu Yuxi, they also greeted her shyly.
Lu Yuxi looked around and said, "Oh, don't worry about me. I'm just here to take a look."
After searching for a while, she couldn't find it. She could only ask the chef, "Um, do you know where the chicken is?"
The chef asked curiously, "Miss, why are you looking for the chicken? If you want to eat it, I'll make it for you tonight."
Lu Yuxi waved her hand and said, "Oh no, I'm preparing the chicken soup. Can you help me prepare the ingredients?"
