“Then translate this lesson.” Kangkang’s dad quickly grabbed a fully English extracurricular book and randomly picked the longest one.
“Kangkang, get some paper and a pen for your stepmom.” Kangkang’s dad instructed.
Following his words, Kangkang chose the pen he thought was the hardest to use and handed it to his stepmom.
Then, he picked the smoothest one and, with a beaming smile, gave it to Jiang Man.
Jiang Man shot it a glance and said indifferently, “I don’t need it.”
“You don’t need it? Girl, don’t tell me you’re giving up already?” Kangkang’s dad was astonished.
Kangkang’s stepmom was cheating; she stared at the book and had already translated the first sentence in her mind.
Hearing Jiang Man was about to concede, she was just about to set the pen down.
“What I said was, I don’t need the pen,” Jiang Man’s expression remained as calm as ever.
Seeing this, Wu Yingfan smiled smugly, “Sis Man can do it silently.”
To silently translate is like doing mental arithmetic in mathematics, where one can produce the answer without a rough draft.
“Silent translation? Hah.” Kangkang’s stepmom shook her head and held back from saying something unpleasant, considering that Lu Xingzhou was present.
Even the country’s most skilled simultaneous interpreters need to take notes.
This girl is way out of her depth, so full of herself—thinking she can silently translate?
Fine then!
If she wants to dig her own grave, then she can’t blame anyone else!
“Husband, let’s begin,” said the stepmom, eager to start.
Kangkang’s dad paused for a moment. Seeing that Lu Xingzhou remained stoic and did not object, he said loudly, “3, 2, 1, begin!”
Kangkang’s stepmom began furiously scribbling on scratch paper.
But Jiang Man, her face unchanged, gazed at the text, not blinking once.
Lu Xingzhou sat next to her, casting a curious glance her way.
He was quite curious about what scheme this girl had up her sleeve.
Kangkang wanted to change tutors, and it could’ve been settled with just one word from him. There was no need for him to interfere personally and end up embarrassing himself.
“I’m done translating,” Jiang Man said nonchalantly, just as Lu Xingzhou’s mind wandered.
Kangkang’s stepmom couldn’t believe it!
Jiang Man’s speed was such that she had only just finished reading the article. Her reading speed was in sync with her translating speed?
“Mr. Lu, please check if the translation is correct.”
As if no one else was around, Jiang Man sped up her speech and said, “In ancient times, there was a saying ‘The dragon gave birth to nine sons, who were not dragons; each had its own preference.’ The eldest, Qiu Niu, fond of music, crouched at the head of guitars…”
Jiang Man translated the entire piece in one go.
During this time, she hadn’t glanced at the textbook once; she had an eidetic memory and had engraved the content in her mind.
Throughout the process, Kangkang stared wide-eyed and mouth agape.
“Woah! Sis, you’re amazing!”
“Mr. Lu… the girl didn’t just spout nonsense, did she? How was her translation?”
“Correct, all of it.” Lu Xingzhou looked at the girl beside him in amazement.
Her face carried a defiance, not attempting to hide her edge in the slightest.
For a moment, Lu Xingzhou felt as if he were hallucinating.
He was fluent in 16 languages and had an exceptional talent for them.
He considered himself a walking translation machine, with few able to compete with him.
But just now, Jiang Man’s confident translation utterly upended his perceptions.
“No need to compare further, Jiang Man has won,” Lu Xingzhou’s gaze was unblinkingly fixed on Jiang Man, trying to discern the secrets of her talent.
But after a long look, all he saw was her nonchalant yet arrogant demeanor.
“Wife, how did your translation go?”
Kangkang’s father couldn’t believe it, so he picked up his wife’s draft and discovered that the opening of her translation was almost the same as Jiang Man’s.
However, the language was not as refined as Jiang Man’s.
——The dragon had nine children, none of whom turned into dragons, because they each had their own preferences. The eldest was called Qiu Niu, who loved music, often squatting next to the piano…
That’s as much as Kangkang’s stepmother had written in her draft.
Even though Kangkang’s father didn’t understand English, the plain handwriting made it clear that his wife’s translation skills were indeed not on par with Jiang Man’s.
Not to mention the speed of translation, as Jiang Man had translated the entire piece, while his wife had only done a few sentences.
Jiang Man translated without a draft, whereas his wife had made one.
Jiang Man’s translation was very elegant, while his wife’s was rather plain spoken.
Whether you compared it horizontally or vertically, his wife was way behind Jiang Man!
“Director Lu is right, indeed the girl has won…” Kangkang’s father was very embarrassed, tugging at the corner of his mouth. He crumpled his wife’s translation into a ball and stealthily threw it into the trash can.
His wife claimed to have no degree, yet she possessed an English Level 8 certificate and TOEFL and IELTS certificates.
Isn’t this a slap in the face?
“Uncle, why do I see you sneakily throwing Auntie’s translation in the trash can? What’s up? Can’t Auntie’s translation withstand the light?” Wu Yingfan had sharp eyes, he watched Kangkang’s parents, especially their subtle movements, none could escape his attention.
He suddenly stood up, strode over, and picked up the crumpled paper from the trash can.
He spread out the paper and started to read without any courtesy, “The dragon had nine children, none of whom turned into dragons… Pfft, it’s quite a down-to-earth translation!”

He didn’t hold back at all, giving Kangkang’s stepmother no face as he continued to read.
Kangkang’s stepmother wished she could disappear into a crack in the floor, overwhelmed with embarrassment, and hurriedly said, “Enough, stop reading! I admit my defeat!”
“There’s nothing more to read anyway, you’ve just translated the beginning, tsk tsk tsk,” Wu Yingfan added, delivering a critical strike.
Kangkang’s stepmother’s face flushed red ‘whoosh’ with nowhere to hide, and she turned and ran upstairs.
Kangkang’s father was also extremely embarrassed, forcing a smile while tugging at the corner of his mouth, “Miss, you truly are skilled. From now on, you’ll be in charge of Kangkang’s home tutoring…”
“No way,” Lu Xingzhou timely interrupted Kangkang’s father:
He spoke firmly, with an authoritative voice.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Huai immediately walked in from the hallway, holding a business card, and handed it to Kangkang’s father, “This is Professor Zhu from Tsinghua University, the BOSS has already spoken to him, and he’s agreed to tutor your son at home.”
Kangkang’s father glanced at the business card and was overjoyed.
Professor Zhu was a star professor in the Physics Department at Tsinghua University, learned and renowned, called the modern-day Newton.
He was proficient in all subjects, having such a person tutor his son was like the Xu family’s ancestors sending blessings from the grave!
“I can’t thank Director Lu enough! Truly, I cannot thank you enough! Professor Zhu is someone money can’t even hire, not to mention a professor of his caliber, even getting an average professor from Tsinghua is difficult, otherwise, I wouldn’t have let my partner teach Kangkang.”
“I will keep close attention to Xu Zikang’s studies,” Lu Xingzhou declared imperiously, like a monarch of the business empire, “If Xu Zikang gets into a good university, in the future, I’ll let him work at Lu Corporation.”
“That would be the best!” Kangkang’s father was thrilled, patting Kangkang on the back, “You lucky kid!”
Kangkang too was shocked and taken aback.
He wanted Jiang Man to tutor him simply to escape the clutches of his stepmother.
Yet he never expected to end up with an even more formidable tutor because of it!
“My wife will soon go to university, and I hope she prioritizes her studies. As for tutoring Xu Zikang, leave that to someone else,” said Lu Xingzhou with a tone of authority, leaving no room for argument.
Kangkang’s father nodded in agreement repeatedly, “Yes, yes.”
As he agreed, he suddenly came to a realization and looked up sharply, “Wife? Director Lu…do you mean to say, this young lady, she’s your wife?”
