"Sister, you're so good to me."
"Alright, your brother Dai will handle the copyright issue for you. If things go smoothly, we'll be able to get the copyright back soon. I'll then help you contact a major publishing house, and it will definitely be a hundred times better than what's published in Deyang!"
The books published by Deyang Publishing House are only popular in the city and haven't become popular in other places yet, so they don't have much impact on sales. Even if they do, Chu Yu isn't worried.
She has plenty of money, why would she care about a mere ten or twenty thousand yuan in initial capital?
Chu Yu called Wang Qiuping and then contacted He Lu. Both of them readily agreed to help him with the illustrations and cover design.
It would be best to find someone to write a preface recommending him. Chu Yu doesn't have a suitable candidate at the moment, so let's take it slowly!
By late April, Chu Yu had devoted all her energy to studying, preparing for the college entrance examination in June.
Shulan has been busy with the new store's preparations. The two plan to open it in early May. These days, location is king. In the days before online shopping, no matter what you sell, as long as the store is located here, people will come to buy things.
This wasn't Chu Yu's first time opening a store. She could apply Mandarin's experience to the new store. If she could make Mandarin a huge success, she could replicate Mandarin's success in the new store.
"Chu Yu, He Lu sent more than 20 designs. Take a look and keep the ones you choose."
Chu Yu picked out a few styles. "This plaid skirt is nice, and these black shorts are quite cool, but they're a bit short. It would be better if they had a lining inside and made them into culottes."
Chu Yu described it to Shu Lan, who suddenly understood; it was the first time she had ever seen a skirt made like that.
"Making it into a culotte would prevent accidental exposure, and women could also wear shorter skirts."
There aren't many people wearing short skirts on the street, but Mandarin leads fashion, rather than follows it. If Mandarin's clothes were everywhere on the street, would it have so many die-hard fans?
In those days of food shortages, the vast majority of Mandarin's orders were over fifty yuan, with a high average order value. This resulted in retaining high-quality customers, who would all become potential clients when Chu Yu opened chain stores in the future.
In the monthly exam at the end of April, Chu Yu's political science score improved by leaps and bounds. She scored a full 88 out of 100 in politics!
The total score also broke the record.
Because of the incident involving Chu Xiang and Mao Xia, Principal Ji was quite discouraged, feeling that he had failed to teach his students well and that it was a stain on his teaching career. Fortunately, Chu Yu's grades relieved him.
"Teacher Zhang, these grades are good enough for a top university, the question is which one. If they perform well, they can get into a better school; if they don't, their grades could drop to the second tier. At this stage of review, they've learned most of the knowledge points. The important thing is to keep the student's mindset stable."
Zhang Zhihe was also anxious. He had a premonition that Chu Yu was the brightest star in his teaching career.
If Chu Yu can perform well, he might also be able to soar to great heights.
"Principal Ji, I understand. From now on, I will give the students some leeway and strive to help everyone perform beyond their usual level."
The review had been going on for several rounds, and the students were exhausted. The classroom was often silent. In order to motivate the students, Zhang Zhihe called on Chu Yu.
"This test paper is quite difficult. I don't think the questions on it will be on the test. Chu Yu, tell me, which questions on this test paper are worth doing?"
Chu Yu was stunned for a moment, then flipped the test paper over and saw several familiar questions.
These questions, presented in various forms, appeared on the 1984 math exam, leaving millions of test-takers stumped.
After all, no one could have imagined that the college entrance examination questions could be this bizarre.
It's fine to highlight the key points for the students, since it's not the original question.
"Teacher Zhang, the second, third, and fifth questions on the reverse side are all worth doing."
Zhang Zhihe's eyes widened, thinking to himself, "This is too difficult. The college entrance exam won't have such difficult questions."
Chu Yu smiled and said, "Teacher Zhang, I also think this test paper is too difficult, but math is a subject that can significantly improve scores. Why don't we let the students do it? If they don't understand, they can ask me or Jiang Qilue."
