After the 16th day of the first lunar month, Wang Mujia’s high school is about to start.

He started the second semester of his first year in high school. According to Wang Jianye's plan, Wang Mujia would take the college entrance examination in June this year.

Wang Mujia got full marks in all subjects in the final exams of the first semester of her freshman year in high school.

So when I applied to the school leaders to take the college entrance examination this year, I was passed without a doubt.

Last year, Wang Mujia was not very famous. If he wanted to take the high school entrance examination, he had to prove his ability first.

Having been the top scorer in the junior high school entrance exam and ranked first in the final exam of high school, Wang Mujia now has enough strength to prove his level.

He is fully qualified to take the college entrance examination this year.

After approving Wang Mujia's application to take the college entrance examination early, the school leaders of Wang Mujia's school called reporters and publicized the matter.

Wang Mujia's name as a child prodigy has spread throughout the country, and everyone in the world knows him.

So when the news that Wang Mujia was going to take the college entrance examination early came out, it immediately caused a lot of discussion.

"I remember Wang Mujia was only five years old, right? She has to take the college entrance examination at the age of five. My goodness, this is outrageous."

"My five-year-old is still peeing and playing in the mud, while Wang Mujia is about to take the college entrance examination. How can we compare?"

"Master Wang, how did you educate your child? Please teach us some of your experience."

"Master Wang, please stop publishing recipes and publish a book on how to educate children. I will definitely buy it."

"He can take the high school entrance exam at the age of five. What kind of child prodigy is this? (Leans back)"

"..."

The Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is a large factory with tens of thousands of employees, so any news will spread quickly.

The news that Wang Mujia would take the college entrance examination this year was only reported in the newspapers in the morning, but most people in the steel mill knew about it in the afternoon.

"Zhang Lan, Wang Mujia is your grandson, right? Wow, he's really amazing."

"Yes, it's the first time I've seen someone take the college entrance examination at the age of five."

"This child will definitely have a bright future."

"..."

In the No. 3 fitter workshop, Zhang Lan, an eighth-level fitter, was inspecting how everyone in the workshop was doing. Many people asked Zhang Lan about Wang Mujia and congratulated her.

Zhang Lan was naturally very proud of her grandson's success. She was even happier than if she had become a technical expert or an eighth-level fitter.

"My grandson has been smart since he was young. Let me tell you..."

Zhang Lan excitedly shared with them Wang Mujia’s childhood performance. When he was three years old, he could recite many poems. After learning arithmetic from Chen Kejia, Wang Mujia could solve any problem quickly. He was very impressive.

When she has nothing to do, Zhang Lan will show off her grandson when chatting with them.

Now that they were asking, Zhang Lan naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity and repeated what she had said over and over again.

As a parent, your child is your pride, and Zhang Lan is proud of Wang Mujia. Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu were also in the same workshop. When they heard that Wang Mujia would take the college entrance examination this year, if Yi Zhonghai was surprised, then Jia Dongxu was unbelievable.

"What? Wang Jianye's kid is actually going to take the college entrance exam? He's one year younger than Bang Geng, right?"

Jia Dongxu felt very unbalanced. How come Banggeng was one year older than Wang Mujia? Banggeng wasn't even in the first grade yet, but Wang Mujia was about to take the college entrance examination?
Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but sigh, "What a child prodigy! Wang Jianye and his family are all very smart.
The eldest, Wang Jianye, became a chef. The second and third children were admitted to university. The fourth and fifth children were very good at studying and will definitely be admitted to university in the future.

And Zhang Lan is also very smart. In just a few years, her locksmith skills have improved by leaps and bounds. Even I can’t compare to her.”

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's sigh, Jia Dongxu was very envious. What a wonderful family! This is too good to be true.

Jia Dongxu couldn't help but think of his own home. I won't talk about the jokes because he is still young and can't see anything.

Take himself for example. He has been working in the steel rolling mill for a long time, and many people who entered the factory at the same time have been converted into formal fitters.

However, it took him several years to become a regular employee, and that was under the guidance of Yi Zhonghai, a senior fitter. Otherwise, it would have taken him even longer.

Sha Zhu, who was busy in the kitchen, using Wang Jianye's instructions to make a big pot of food, was amazed when he heard the news, and said to the others in the kitchen:
"That Wang Mujia is the son of Brother Wang in our courtyard. Brother Wang is the cooking master, Master Wang. I have a good relationship with him. The reason why my food is so delicious is because of his guidance."

"Really? Do you really know the child prodigy Wang Mujia?" someone asked in the kitchen.

Sha Zhu said proudly: "Of course, he should call me uncle. Basically, every time Brother Wang brings Wang Mujia back to his hometown in Nanluoguxiang, I can see that child. That child is really smart. No matter what knowledge you teach him, he will learn it once. He is amazing..."

While Sha Zhu was bragging to the people in the kitchen, he was extremely envious of Wang Jianye in his heart.

It would be great if his future children could be as smart as this one. He could show off in front of Xu Damao all day long.

Xu Damao is from the Publicity Department of the steel rolling mill. The Publicity Department is the first to know about any happenings in the factory.

"Tsk tsk, Wang Mujia is actually going to take the college entrance examination. He's really capable."

Xu Damao felt jealous. If he had been as good at studying as Wang Mujia, he wouldn't have to show movies in the factory now.

"Hey Xu Damao, I seem to have heard you say before that you know this child prodigy named Wang Mujia, right?"

There is a new young girl in the Propaganda Department named Yu Haitang. Xu Damao often hangs around her, but Yu Haitang is not interested in Xu Damao.

When Wang Jianye lived in the courtyard house at No. 11 Qianmen, in the same courtyard with Liang Ladi, the sisters Yu Li and Yu Haitang also owned the same courtyard, and Yu Haitang knew about Wang Jianye.

Seeing that Yu Haitang was interested, Xu Damao seized the opportunity and started chatting with her: "That's impossible, I'm very familiar with her.
Not only this child, his father, Wang Jianye, is a famous chef in our city. I am more familiar with him because we were neighbors back then..."

After finally finding a topic that Yu Haitang was interested in, Xu Damao took the opportunity to chat with Yu Haitang for the entire afternoon.

Xu Damao was very grateful to Wang Mujia. If Wang Mujia wasn't so smart and was about to take the college entrance examination, he really wouldn't have the opportunity to meet Yu Haitang. After chatting with Yu Haitang for so long, their relationship finally took a step forward.

Next, Xu Damao will make persistent efforts to capture the city and stronghold of Haitang until he seizes the top of the mountain.

In the original timeline, Xu Damao had not yet hooked up with Yu Haitang because Xu Damao was married to Lou Xiaoe.

At that time, they had just gotten married. Lou Xiao'e was beautiful and rich, and Xu Damao put all his attention on her. He even didn't sleep with the young widow when he went to the countryside, because he wanted to keep Lou Xiao'e to give birth to a son for him.

But after several years of trying and Lou Xiao'e still not pregnant, Xu Damao began to return to his old ways and started to have affairs with other women. (End of this chapter)
