Chapter 57 Invitation
Haha, Teacher Qiao. Is this asking him to change his last name?
Lan Jie felt quite uncomfortable with having to lie on orders even at a very old age. We can only hope that no one notices Qiao Yu's score and the name of Tieyi Middle School, and then asks him about it. But before he could make such expectations, another freshman mathematics teacher walked into the office and excitedly chatted about this topic.
"Hey, Teacher Lan, that Qiao Yu from the junior high school you picked out actually entered the finals of the department of Little Libaba. That's amazing! If I were to sign up for the competition, I might not be able to make it to the finals."
After hearing this, Lan Jie did not feel honored, only felt a big headache.
After five years of development, this competition has become more influential in the mathematics circle.
Especially now, the requirements of high school teachers are getting higher and higher. Ten years ago, in high schools like Tieyi Middle School, outstanding graduates with a bachelor's degree in teaching could enter, but starting five years ago, starting to recruit teachers requires a master's degree in a related major.
As for those key middle schools, although the requirement may be a master's degree, most of the students actually admitted have a doctoral degree.
Little Libaba’s mathematics competition has no threshold and no registration fee. In addition, the competition is scheduled on the weekend, and there are two full days. As long as the school does not prohibit faculty and staff from participating, many mathematics teachers will naturally sign up to try.
It is not necessarily for the prize money. Participating in this kind of competition is tantamount to a battle of wits with the top IQ bosses. For those who are engaged in mathematics, it is quite a sense of accomplishment.
Moreover, he is not afraid of being embarrassed if he fails to enter the finals. Little Libaba will not post the list of losers. As long as he does not tell, no one around him will know that he has signed up. Including Lang Jie also applied for the first two sessions.
As long as you sign up, regardless of whether you make it to the finals or not, you will probably take the time to look at the list.
For Xingcheng, the junior high school at the beginning of Xingcheng is very conspicuous, so Lan Jie didn’t even have time to talk to the teacher who came in, but immediately replied on WeChat: "Principal Zhang, just follow I said it’s useless. Many math teachers in Star City may be paying attention to this competition, including our school.”
Then he smiled bitterly. He said to his colleagues who were already sitting in their seats: "Okay, Teacher Xu, Principal Zhang just told me not to mention Qiao Yu's entry into the finals to anyone. If anyone asks, just say that Qiao Yu is a teacher in our school." "
"This...oh, I'm afraid of robbing people!" They are all smart people, and they reacted immediately after making a suggestion.
Lan Jie smiled. Before he could speak, his phone started to vibrate again, and then he saw a message in the WeChat work group: "@Everyone please ask the head teachers and math teachers of each class to come to the administration building within ten minutes after receiving the message." There is a meeting in conference room 607. Leave is not allowed. Please notify each other!”
Principal Zhang is really resolute enough to start convening a meeting while he is still outside? !
"Come on, there's a meeting, let's go!"
......
Huaxia, Xiaozhou, where the headquarters of Little Libaba is located.
Even though Qiao Yu really hoped to enter the finals without showing off and get the prize money, it was a pity that he was still noticed.
Although you do not need to fill in your occupation when registering for Little Libaba's mathematics competition, you do need to fill in your birthday.
Qiao Yu, who just turned fifteen this year, is one of the youngest among all the applicants this year. When he entered the finals, he naturally became the youngest finalist. Not only that, he also ranked 285th in the preliminaries.
There are seven other fifteen-year-old junior high school students like him, but Qiao Yu's ranking is the one with the highest preliminary results among all the same age group.
These junior high school students beat students from prestigious universities and got tickets to enter the finals. Some of them were ranked very high, which naturally attracted the attention of many big bosses in the competition organizing committee.
The competition organizing committee includes not only academicians of the academies of sciences from various countries, but also professors from mathematics departments of many well-known universities.
Competitions in this type of discipline are inherently tasked with discovering talents. In recent years, there are also some very young candidates who have entered the finals and won gold medals.
For example, Zhai Zhenyu from Shuangqing City won the gold medal in the Little Libaba Global Mathematics Competition last year when he was seventeen years old, and he was the only finalist with perfect scores last year. .
But what is different from these junior high school students is that in 2022, when he was sixteen years old, he represented China in IMO as a freshman in high school and won a gold medal.
After that, he was directly recommended to study in the School of Mathematics of Yanbei University. Although he was only seventeen years old when he participated in the Little Libaba Mathematics Competition last year, he was already a sophomore student in the School of Mathematics of Yanbei University.
Although the junior high school students have not yet won the gold medal in the finals, they have not yet had time to receive systematic knowledge of advanced mathematics.
If you can achieve this ranking simply by self-study, this talent can only be said to be extremely amazing!
As Qiao Yu, who has the best grades, as well as other teenagers, the content of their answers has attracted the most attention. Many big shots have downloaded it to read it and memorized these names.
But after all, it is just the preliminaries. Tens of thousands of people signed up, and it is held online. It is difficult to use some anti-cheating technical means. In many cases, it really depends on the players' awareness.
So after the big guys said hello, Qiao Yu received another email from the Little Libaba Global Mathematics Competition Organizing Committee in his mailbox.
The general idea is that Qiao Yu was specially invited to Xiaozhou Xiaolibaba headquarters to participate in the finals. If Qiao Yu agrees, he only needs to provide his and his guardian's names and ID numbers, and the organizing committee will directly arrange the round-trip itinerary, food and accommodation.
Although the finals can also be held online, it simply requires turning on the camera and microphone and using technical means to invigilate the exam. But there are cases where big bosses take interest in talented kids like this and invite them to the headquarters finals.
Of course, it is not just Qiao Yu who has received such an invitation. Most of the talented young people of his age have received the same email.
……
Qiao Yu, who was watching a video and trying to gain knowledge, saw a message pop up in his mailbox. He clicked on it, took a look, thought about it, walked out of the room, and asked Qiao Xi, who was watching a soap opera on the sofa, "Mom, that little Li Group invited me to participate in the finals in Xiaozhou, including round-trip transportation and accommodation. Will you go?"
"Oh, when?" Qiao Xi raised her head and asked.
"The final start time is July 14th, but it may have to go one or two days earlier."
"I won't go." Qiao Xi refused decisively.
"What? Are you not satisfied with this time? How about I discuss changing the time with them?" Qiao Yu said angrily.
"It's not like you don't know? I'm socially anxious and don't like to come into contact with unfamiliar people." Qiao Xi said confidently.
"Then why are you asking when?"
"Just because I asked you when to go, it doesn't mean that I am going. Besides, you are already fifteen years old. Are you afraid of taking the high-speed rail or do you have no legs? , be more careful when traveling, be less calculating, and be more sincere. If you are really afraid, you can call a good old man, he may cherish you more than me now! "
Mom's love, forever. It's all so comprehensive.
