Chapter 70

Lu Xin had experienced the college entrance exam, and his scores were decent, so he had some experience and, of course, many lessons to share. He told all of this to Li Lu, and this kind of tutoring was very effective. Li Lu was completely absorbed, and it was better than hiring a high-level teacher.

According to their original agreement, Lu Xin mainly tutored Li Lu in writing essays. On their first session, he started by explaining how to write a good essay and specifically how to write a good college entrance exam essay.

Lu Xin, based on his own experience, said, "Lu Lu, to make the examiner feel amazed about your essay in just a few minutes, a splendid opening is very important."

Li Lu frowned, "Brother Sanjin, my writing skills are very poor, I can't write a splendid opening."

Talking about the reason for Li Lu's poor essay writing, it should be attributed to her mother, Shen Yafang. As the head of the publicity department of a large state-owned enterprise like Sanjiang Group, the texts she wrote and read were extremely dull and bureaucratic. Li Lu, having been exposed to such insincere and hollow texts from a young age, had her sensitivity to language stifled early on.

Lu Xin smiled slightly, "Even without splendid writing skills, you can still write an opening that will amaze the examiner. You can choose to use a classic story in each sentence to add a sense of historical weight!"

"Classic stories?" Li Lu seemed to understand, "No wonder our Chinese teacher always tells us to pay attention to memorizing classic stories and famous quotes!"

"Your teacher is right," Lu Xin smiled, "You should memorize more classic stories and famous quotes. Each classic story can be reused and considered from multiple angles. For example, the most common classic story, Sima Qian, can be used to write about perseverance in pursuing your dreams, unwavering persistence, and bearing humiliation and heavy burdens. Of course, if you want to stand out, you can memorize some less common classic stories, like Ji Kang, and use them less frequently than Qu Yuan and Sima Qian."

At this point, a mocking smile appeared on Lu Xin's face, "Remember, never use classic stories like Zhang Haidi or Lei Feng!"

"Why not?" Li Lu asked in confusion.

Lu Xin smiled bitterly, "This is a complicated issue, you'll understand when you grow up a bit more!"

In the following hour, Lu Xin explained various writing techniques for college entrance exam essays in detail. He had read many leisure books in college, and his extensive references and quotations made him seem very knowledgeable. Li Lu often looked at Lu Xin with a mix of admiration and awe, and Shen Yafang, sitting beside her, also looked at Lu Xin with admiration. It was rare for a science and engineering student to have such a broad knowledge base. More importantly, although Lu Xin quoted extensively and spoke fluently, the main focus remained on the college entrance exam essays, which was very beneficial to Li Lu. Shen Yafang and Li Lu were very satisfied with Lu Xin as a teacher.

After the lesson, Lu Xin took out two platinum diamond necklaces from his pocket, which he had extorted from Li Qiming. The necklaces were beautifully packaged, so Lu Xin could present them to Shen Yafang and Li Lu with dignity.

Shen Yafang, who had earned tens of millions from stock trading, naturally didn't care much about the platinum diamond necklaces worth over ten thousand yuan. However, she was moved by Lu Xin's thoughtfulness, "Why bring gifts to your godmother's house, and such expensive ones at that? How much do you earn in a month? You should save your money. You should take them back and return them!"

Li Lu looked at her mother in surprise. In her memory, her mother was a princess who never considered others, rarely showing such empathy. It seemed that her mother truly didn't treat Lu Xin as an outsider.

Lu Xin knew that Li Xiaoming and Shen Yafang were close. If he said he bought the necklaces, and Li Xiaoming found out, Shen Yafang's good impression of him would plummet. He also remembered that Shen Yafang had a poor impression of Li Qiming. If he told the truth about extorting Li Qiming, it would surely please Shen Yafang.

Lu Xin, of course, wouldn't reveal that he used his gold control ability to take the first necklace from Li Qiming. Instead, he said that the necklaces might have been taken by other customers in the chaos, and Li Qiming suspected him. The rest of the story was consistent with the original truth.

Li Lu laughed heartily and clapped, "Brother Sanjin, you're so smart, making Li Qiming that guy shoot himself in the foot. Ha ha, seeing him in trouble, I'm so happy!"

Shen Yafang's delicate and beautiful face showed no smile. She stared coldly at Lu Xin and said, "Do you think you're being very clever? You're being smart, but your cleverness will backfire!"

Seeing Shen Yafang's serious and stern expression, Lu Xin held back his smile and listened solemnly.

Shen Yafang first asked Li Lu to go take a shower, then she pointed at Lu Xin's smooth forehead with her delicate fingers, "Lu Xin, Lu Sanjin, do you know where you work now? A state-owned enterprise, with a strict hierarchy, no less than a government agency! You publicly mocked the factory manager Li Qiming, showing such disrespect to your superiors. How will other leaders view you? Although Li Qiming is narrow-minded and has been targeting you because of Jiang Xueqing, your direct confrontation is a big taboo in a state-owned enterprise. Other leaders will definitely think you are disrespectful and unruly, and no one will want to promote you! You are a new employee, a grassroots worker, and you must be prepared to be treated unfairly. No matter how you deal with him behind the scenes, you must show respect and obedience on the surface. Only then can you win the recognition of other leaders. Otherwise, if the impression of you being in conflict with your superiors spreads throughout the company, you will probably never have a chance for promotion!"

Shen Yafang's words were a wake-up call, and Lu Xin was stunned on the spot. Yes, no matter how despicable Li Qiming, Liu Jianhui, and Li Li were, they were still leaders, and he couldn't openly oppose them. In a state-owned enterprise, subordinates must obey superiors, and anyone who violates this rule will be ostracized by the entire environment. He had been too young and impulsive before.

He stared blankly at Shen Yafang, "Godmother, I..."

Shen Yafang gazed at Lu Xin and sighed deeply, "From the situation you described, you are in conflict with all three of your direct superiors, which is a big taboo in the workplace. Even if you have martial arts skills and can use them to make these three leaders suffer and give up their positions, how can you guarantee that future leaders won't be the same? How can you ensure that other leaders will treat you well? Are you going to keep using your martial arts skills to take irrational actions?"

Lu Xin was shocked, "Godmother, what do you mean? They brought it upon themselves, it has nothing to do with me!"
