It must be said that in many fields, talent is really important; sometimes 99 percent perspiration is not as good as 1 percent talent.

Soon, the entire paper was filled with writing, except for the last big question, which was a bit beyond the syllabus. He hadn't learned many of the formulas, so he really couldn't solve it. Li Mu didn't force himself on it, put down his pen, and looked around.

In the classroom, some students had already handed in their papers and left one after another. He wasn't in a hurry, so he took out a math Olympiad reference book and started reading.

After most of the others had left, he came to the podium and handed in his paper. He thought for a moment, then took out his math Olympiad reference materials and leaned closer to Zhang Dongsheng, asking, "Teacher Zhang, how do I solve this problem?"

Zhang Dongsheng had a good impression of Li Mu; it was Li Mu who raised his hand to answer just now, which prevented the math class from becoming dull.

He smiled warmly and said, "Okay, let me take a look."

Zhang Dongsheng's math Olympiad skills were undeniable, and his explanations were easy to understand. Li Mu understood after only one explanation.

Perhaps influenced by Zhu Chaoyang, he has developed a real interest in math olympiads and has taken out some math olympiad problems he had accumulated recently to ask for help.

Zhang Dongsheng not only didn't find it troublesome, but also looked at him with some appreciation. After explaining the problem for a while, Li Mu's talent also made him slightly shocked; he was truly an extremely outstanding math Olympiad prospect.

Good students are loved by everyone, and their appreciation only grows stronger over time.

One person spoke and the other listened, and before they knew it, half an hour had passed, and all the students in the classroom had long since left.

After finishing explaining another question, Li Mu decided to stop.

"Teacher Zhang, thank you for your help today."

Zhang Dongsheng smiled and said, "No trouble at all. You can come to me anytime you have any questions, whether you have class or not."

"Thank you, Teacher Zhang. Goodbye."

"Goodbye, Zhu Chaoyang."

As Li Mu left the classroom, an idea suddenly came to him.

In recent years, math olympiads have become increasingly popular, especially among children in cities, who compete with each other by enrolling their children in various math olympiad classes.

This led to a proliferation of various math olympiad training classes over the next decade.

At Zhang Dongsheng's age, it's not easy for him to start a business.

Instead of focusing on his strengths, Li Mu could provide the funding, and Zhang Dongsheng could provide the technology. Together, they could run a large-scale math Olympiad training program, which would have a very high chance of success.

If managed properly, it's not impossible to make a fortune in the future.

After considering it for a while, I realized it was highly feasible.

However, this cannot be rushed; we must take it slowly.

Chapter 48 Winning the Prize

Time flies, and a week has passed.

During this time, Li Mu attended several more math olympiad classes at the Children's Palace and asked Zhang Dongsheng for help with various math olympiad problems. The two have now become quite familiar with each other.

Li Mu admired Zhang Dongsheng's teaching methods and quality; these things sound simple, but they are not so easy to master.

Zhang Dongsheng admired Li Mu's learning attitude and talent; such an outstanding student was rare.

……

That day, Li Mu returned from the Children's Palace and casually bought a newspaper on the way, habitually checking his lottery numbers.

Suddenly, he held his breath; the numbers on the newspaper were so similar to the lottery numbers he had bought.

He didn't need to take out the lottery tickets to check them one by one; having bought so many tickets, he had already memorized the lottery numbers.

Li Mu looked at it carefully again. All six red balls were correct, but the blue ball was wrong.

I was slightly disappointed, but then I was pleasantly surprised.

Even if all six red balls are correct, and the blue ball is wrong, it's still a second prize.

He didn't win the first prize, but the second prize was still pretty good; he bought ten tickets.

Fortunately, being someone who had seen it all before, he quickly calmed down and continued reading the newspaper. This draw had a limited number of winning numbers for the first and second prizes, resulting in exceptionally high payouts, with each second prize winning 480,000 yuan.

He won ten bets, with a total prize of 4.8 million. After deducting 20% ​​tax, he still had 384 million left.

This amount of money is enough for him.

……

While others might be overjoyed to win a big prize, Li Mu remained calm throughout. When he got home, Zhou Chunhong had just returned from the scenic area.

He didn't intend to hide this from Zhou Chunhong, otherwise, as a minor still in junior high school, it would be really difficult for him to handle this lottery ticket.

However, telling Zhou Chunhong would mean that Zhou Chunhong would have control over the money, and he would no longer be able to use it freely.

But there's always a way, right? The key is to claim the prize first.

Thinking of this, Li Mu immediately put on an extremely excited look, grabbed the newspaper, and ran over.

"Mom, I've won the lottery!"

Zhou Chunhong was taken aback, and reached out to touch his forehead: "If you don't study, what kind of big prize will you win?"

Li Mu waved the newspaper in his hand: "Second prize in the Double Color Ball lottery."

Zhou Chunhong was clearly familiar with the lottery; there were quite a few money-grubbers in the city these days. She picked up the newspaper and looked at it: "You said you won the second prize?"

Li Mu nodded excitedly.

"bingo!"

Zhou Chunhong was a little incredulous and asked with wide eyes, "Where's the lottery ticket? Let me see it."

Li Mu immediately took out a lottery ticket from his pocket and handed it over.

Zhou Chunhong took the lottery ticket, and when she saw the numbers on it, she immediately became excited, and even her hands began to tremble.

"Oh my god, I really won! The prize money is so big, 480,000!"

"Son, you're amazing."

Overcome with emotion, she hugged Li Mu tightly, kissed him several times on the cheek, and kept murmuring...

After Zhou Chunhong calmed down a bit from her excitement, Li Mu pointed to the lottery ticket and said, "Mom, I increased this winning number tenfold, so I won a total of ten tickets. The prize money is four million eight hundred thousand."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chunhong was stunned for a moment. She picked up the lottery ticket and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, the winning numbers had been multiplied tenfold, meaning she had won not just one ticket, but ten.

Her fingers trembled as she said, "We won four million eight hundred thousand?" She could hardly believe it; the amount was too large.

Li Mu nodded and then shook his head: "I did win 4.8 million, but I have to pay 20% tax, so I only got 3.84 million."

Zhou Chunhong did the math and it was true. Even so, 3.84 million was still an astronomical figure for her. Her monthly salary at the scenic area was only a little over 1,000 yuan. She couldn't earn that much even if she worked her whole life. She was immediately overjoyed.

After a long while, looking at the lottery ticket again and again, Zhou Chunhong finally accepted the fact that she had won the grand prize.

He then instructed Li Mu, "Chaoyang, don't go around telling anyone about winning the lottery. I'll take the day off tomorrow to claim the prize."

“Once the prize money comes in, let’s buy a big house next to your school first,” Zhou Chunhong said excitedly, as if she could already see a bright future ahead.

She hadn't been this happy in a long time since her divorce.

The failed marriage was a major blow to her life, and she wanted to live a good life, a very good life. She wanted to show Zhu Yongping that even without him, she could provide her son with a good life and raise him to be successful.

Unfortunately, while Zhu Yongping's career was flourishing, she could only work as an ordinary staff member at the scenic spot. The discrepancy between her expectations and reality left her feeling disappointed and resentful, and her personality began to become extreme, placing all her hopes on Zhu Chaoyang.

Excessive attention and expectations put immense pressure on Zhu Chaoyang, turning him from a lively and active child into a quiet and reserved individual.

Now, everything is fine. With so much money, the pressure has been greatly reduced, and the obsession in my heart is gone. I can give my son a better life.

Let Zhu Yongping see that his family can still live well without him.

……

The next day, Zhou Chunhong boarded a train to the provincial capital. Second prize in the lottery can usually only be redeemed in the provincial capital.

A few days later, at Jiayuan Residential Area.

"Ms. Zhou, this apartment is really great. It's a spacious three-bedroom apartment of 145 square meters, and the decoration is excellent."

"It was originally intended as a wedding home for someone, but their son met someone in Shanghai who didn't want to come back. The housing prices in Shanghai are much higher than here, so they had to sell this house to buy a wedding home for their son in Shanghai."

"If it's a full payment, the owner will lower the price even further. It's rare to find such a good property; it would be a shame to miss it."

Zhou Chunhong hesitated, after all, the property, worth nearly a million yuan, was still a big blow to her.

He then led Li Mu around the room a few more times, becoming more and more satisfied with what he saw.

"Son, what do you think?"

From Li Mu's perspective, the decoration of this house was quite ordinary, but in 06, it was actually quite good. It was very stylish and modern.

"It's fine, Mom!"

Two hours later, after much deliberation and a series of bargaining, Zhou Chunhong finally made a decision.

They bought this 145-square-meter three-bedroom apartment for 870,000 yuan in full, signed the contract that afternoon, and are now just waiting for the property certificate to be issued.

However, once the contract was signed, the homeowner handed over the keys, and we can move in now.

Over the next few days, the massive moving operation officially began.

Since she had money, and the old furniture didn't match the new house, Zhou Chunhong unusually became generous and spent nearly 200,000 yuan to buy a complete set of new furniture and appliances.

At Li Mu's request, fiber optic internet was installed and he was provided with a computer, so he no longer had to go to internet cafes so often.
