After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 281

Chapter 281: Chapter 281: The Big Shot Personally Calls to Ask for Registration

???

Upon hearing Lu Youming’s words, Jiang Ting’s eyes widened.

...Ah?

The fourth son, known as a genetic mutation and considered a genius by everyone since childhood, actually said that Lu Sheng is more intelligent and more capable than him?

Lu Youming spoke with a calm face.

"Even the advanced math problems that I find tricky and take hours to solve, Shengsheng can resolve within minutes."

"Moreover, in the past over two months she’s been at home, we play games in the room every day."

"Whether it’s Sudoku, Go, Chess, or Texas Hold’em Poker, I can hardly ever win against her."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ting’s mouth opened even wider.

Other things she was unaware of, but Lu Youming was someone who, at nine, had competed and won a national Go competition.

But he can’t win against Shengsheng?

How high must Shengsheng’s level be?

However, as Jiang Ting is shocked here, Lu Jingyan by the side suddenly realizes something, and his resolute eyebrows involuntarily furrow.

"Wait ... Youming, are you saying you’ve been playing games with Shengsheng in the room every day these past few months?"

"I asked you to give her lessons daily, but you just played games with her each time??"

Lu Jingyan took a deep breath, thinking of the times he stood outside his sister’s room, feeling relieved and pitying his siblings for studying so hard, he couldn’t help but feel heartache and indignation.

"Youming, you’ve greatly disappointed big brother!"

Lu Youming glanced at his elder brother, his expression unchanged.

"Big Brother, high school level courses, for Shengsheng, are as simple as primary or middle school lessons."

"Even without classes, she understands everything at a glance—there’s really nothing to tutor."

Lu Youming’s tone could be described as casual.

Next to him, however, Lu Youye appeared deeply shocked.

Why is it that content, seemingly simple and straightforward like primary school lessons to Lu Youming and Lu Sheng, was making him nearly go bald from study?

The genius twin brothers and an even more genius sister—really, the pressure is so great, waah waah waah.

While Lu Youye felt bitter, he didn’t express it.

Since Lu Youming had said that Lu Sheng was even more impressive, she could easily pick any major from the two universities.

Whether or not to partake in the special talent recruitment test didn’t matter.

"But sweetie, what did your class teacher mention earlier about special talent recruitment," Lu Ziye started addressing, "and who is this Professor Wu?"

"Special talent recruitment, simply put, is for students with special skills to get recommendations from top professors at Beijing University and Qing University. If the committee approves, Beijing University and Qing University can lower the entrance scores by 100 points for his specialty major."

"The professor mentioned earlier by the class teacher, is Professor Wu Anmin from the Art Department of Beijing University. Probably because I won a piano competition championship before, the class teacher thought if I contacted Professor Wu personally, I could get his recommendation slot."

Lu Sheng said, "However, I’m not planning on entering the arts department or becoming Professor Wu’s student, so I didn’t intend to contact him."

"Shengsheng, you mean Wu Anmin?" Jiang Ting couldn’t help but widen her eyes.

Wu Anmin—a national treasure-level elderly pianist and a top professor in the Art Department of Beijing University, very prestigious both domestically and internationally. Known by the ordinary public for performing several times on the Spring Festival Gala.

Professor Wu, being elderly, no longer personally teaches students piano, at most teaches music theory lessons at Beijing University.

To become his student, with Wu Anmin’s extensive connections and high reputation in the industry, was an opportunity others couldn’t buy or beg for.

"However, today, I’ve received hundreds of emails from students recommending themselves, and I’ve read each one, but was quite disappointed not to see an email from you."

"I asked your school for your contact information and specifically called you. I wonder if you haven’t heard about this policy, or are you not interested in becoming my student?"

Oh my.

While Professor Wu’s tone sounded very kind, his words were quite overwhelming.

An industry leader actively asking for a student’s contact information because he didn’t receive an email from them, and even questioning if they are uninterested in becoming his student.

Who would dare to answer that affirmatively?

Jiang Ting was so nervous as a parent that she didn’t even dare to breathe out loud.

Lu Youye, feeling hungry, tried to sneak some food but Jiang Ting knocked his chopsticks away and gave him a glare, so he had no choice but to sit there feeling wronged.

Only Lu Sheng remained calm, still speaking into the phone, "How could that be, Professor Wu? You are a giant in the piano world, and I have always held great admiration for you."

"It’s just that my preferred major is not in the arts, so that’s why I didn’t contact you."

"...Not planning to study in the arts? That really is a waste of your talent," said Wu Anmin, his voice tinged with regret.

"Well, Lu Sheng, I really am very willing to take you as my student, so I hope you will consider it carefully."

"Here is my number. The deadline for submitting recommendations for the special admission quota is next week, and if you change your mind during this period, you can call me anytime."

A giant in the industry speaking to a high school student with such respect was truly out of appreciation for talent and a desire to take her as his direct pupil.

With Professor Wu’s attitude, Lu Sheng of course could not outright refuse, but simply replied, "Thank you, Professor Wu, for your recognition. I will give it careful consideration."

After hanging up, everyone around the dinner table exchanged glances.

They all felt it would be a pity if this opportunity was lost, but for Lu Sheng, it seemed there was less to regret.

But the Lu Family didn’t expect that, amidst their meal, another heavyweight would make a phone call.
