Chapter 75 Final Ranking
August in Star City is hot.
In fact, as long as it is a city that is particularly lively at night, the temperature in summer is usually extremely hot.
For example, Xingcheng, Jiangcheng, Shuangqing, and Xilin are all like this.
What makes people feel particularly uncomfortable in the summer in Star City is the feeling of heat and humidity.
Within a few minutes of leaving the air-conditioned room, you will immediately feel like your whole body is covered with a layer of sticky stuff, and your whole body is not clean. Even if it’s evening, when the sun goes down and you’re hanging out.
So Qiao Yu has always believed that the best way to cope with the summer in Star City is to stay in an air-conditioned room and not go anywhere.
It’s a pity that not only does he have to undergo military training, but his mother can’t bear it and drives him out every day.
Mainly because women tend to be more prone to anxiety than men.
Qiao Yu also doesn’t understand why Qiao Xi always finds the special reminders from so-called certified doctors in various software during the summer: Never stay in an air-conditioned room for a long time and avoid air conditioning. The disease starts from going out for exercise.
Then he would be forcibly pulled out by two women, Qiao Xi and Xia Keke.
If it’s just a walk around the community, the two women always have new ideas.
A street in a certain place has been transformed into a night market. It is said to be very lively and you should check it out; a certain milk tea shop has a new product and you must try it; a certain brand is having a big promotion and discount. It would be too much not to look for suitable ones. What a loss...
It can only be said that in the era of big data, Qiao Yu has never been able to get such information, but these two women are not generally well-informed in this regard.
I wish I could open a women's clothing store somewhere in Star City and they could all receive push notifications.
Especially after Xia Keke's cram school ended in mid-August, Qiao Yu felt that going out every evening seemed to be a task he had to complete. He had to do military training during the day and go out in the evening, which was unbearable.
The only thing that made him happy was an unintentional move he made on the spur of the moment when he returned to Xingcheng from Xiaozhou - bringing Yu Yongjun and Yu Wei together to form a group.
In the first few days, the group remained absolutely quiet, with no one talking at all.
Until one day, Yu Yongjun sent a screenshot of a question to the group, and then asked: "Do you know this question?"
He even @two people.
Qiao Yu came out and took a look, and replied directly: "No."
Yu Wei directly sent an ellipsis.
Yu Yongjun simply ignored Qiao Yu’s remark that he didn’t know, and then said in the group: “Just practice more!”
Obviously Yu Wei couldn’t stand it and immediately asked Said: "@dayu Who are you talking about?"
"Haha, why are you so sensitive? Maybe I'm talking about a certain gold medal player in the group? That... shouldn't the gold medal player be talking about you? Right? ”
Qiao Yu happily watched the two quarreling and was about to continue watching the show. Unfortunately, Yu Wei simply refused to accept the challenge and died down.
Very annoying...
It’s not fun anymore.
But what he didn’t expect was that half an hour later, Chan Zhi Xue sent three pictures in a row. Qiao Yu clicked on them and took a look. Sure enough, it was the solution to the question that Dayu had sent before. question process.
It’s written in such detail that you can’t fault it.
But the matter was not over yet. Cicada did not know Xue also posted a question, @the two of them, and then left a sentence: "Does the one who thinks he is not good at it also come to practice?"
Qiao Yu once again I clicked on the topic and looked at it, and it was the same as before He quickly replied: "No!"
Yu Yongjun impulsively responded to the call: "Hey, this question is so difficult, it scares the baby to death!"
Yu Wei He didn't reply, just made a contemptuous expression.
The group was quiet again, but five minutes later Qiao Yu received a message from dayu in a private chat on WeChat: "Help, boss, look, this question is really difficult! Please help me, You can’t really be underestimated by that guy! That’s too shameful!”
Qiao Yu was familiar with this matter and immediately replied: "The consultation fee is one hundred yuan! In ten minutes, you will become the most handsome boy in the group."
Yu Yongjun responded with a horrified expression and followed He said: "No, boss, are you serious?"
Qiao Yu replied confidently: "Nonsense ! Do you think I am someone who makes fun of money? Come to our Xingcheng Tieyi Middle School and ask, everyone from students to teachers knows that I, Qiao Yu, appreciate money the most.”
“Damn it, don’t accept it. "Qian, can you call me dad instead?"
"The former is not possible, but the latter is OK."
The person on the other side calmed down for a minute, made an aggrieved expression, and sent a message: "Dad, can it be cheaper? I don't have much pocket money!"
This kind of behavior has no moral integrity at all. Qiao Yu was frightened. He thought about it and then replied: "Forget it, Vote me 50 immediately and give you a half-price VIP consultation experience card for the summer."
Soon, dayu sent it A fifty red envelope.
Qiao Yu clicked on the group chat, read the questions sent by Yu Wei again, then took out a pen and paper and quickly started solving the questions. In about ten minutes, he took a photo and sent it to Yu Yongjun.
“Thank you, Dad, for your hard work!”
Ignoring such disrespectful words, Qiao Yu returned to the group chat again. He thought that Yu Yongjun would post it to the group soon. Unexpectedly, he waited another seven or eight minutes before the pictures started to appear in the group. Appear.
This is not the picture he sent before. The handwriting is completely different. The manuscript paper he used also has the letter of Shuangqing Bashan Middle School where Fatty is from. Apparently Fatty took the time to copy it again.
As expected, as long as they are passable in mathematics, most of them are extremely thoughtful people, and they will not leave any flaws even if they try to show off.
After posting the answer, dayu naturally @chanzhixue again.
“Wow, this question is so difficult! It actually took me a full twenty-three minutes! Oops, I’m sorry, I forgot the answer you just took 35 minutes to post. Thank you for your time. It’s time! Can I help you make up for it next time?”
Yu Wei did not jump out immediately. He probably went to see the answer. After a few minutes, he replied in the group: "Come again?"
As a result, dayu simply dropped: "Sorry, I I have to go to class. Although it is summer vacation, I am still very busy!”
Then there was no news.
Qiao Yu, who was watching the whole process at that time, was very emotional. He was also planning to wait for the two of them to quarrel and say a few fair words in the group to stimulate the warring parties.
Unfortunately, the little fat man still gave up and actually took an escape class. At that time, Qiao Yu felt a little regretful.
However, since the ice was broken that day, this group has become more and more lively, and messages will flood the screen every now and then.
Although there were only three people in total including him, when Qiao Yu watched the videos all morning and opened WeChat to take a look, the two of them could actually save dozens of chat records.
However, Yu Yongjun said more and Yu Wei said less. But Qiao Yu could see that the second generation of rich people were often provoked by the little fat man to the point where they were on the verge of breaking their guard.
Sometimes he can happen to encounter a battlefield in the group chat.
But every time he typed: "How about I say something fair..." he was ignored by the two of them.
Of course, for Qiao Yu, the lively group chat was not just for him to watch the excitement. After one month, in addition to the first fifty, Xiaopang classmate paid another 280 yuan in consulting fees.
The main reason why it cannot be divided by fifty is that this guy is too shameless.
The price for using the VIP consulting service experience card was suddenly negotiated down from fifty to ten yuan.
Of course, not all of Yu Weifa’s questions in the group were answered by Qiao Yu. Qiao Yu could clearly feel that the little fat man's strength had improved qualitatively during this summer vacation.
The most obvious manifestation is that in the past week, some Qiao Yu thought that the little fat guy would definitely ask his questions based on his previous level, but he was able to solve them himself.
From this point of view, Qiao Yu felt that the person who gained the most from establishing this group was probably the fat guy from Shuangqing.
Compared with the meager three hundred and thirty yuan he paid, Yu Yongjun’s gains were completely out of proportion. All in all, the business was a bit of a loss.
If Qiao Yu hadn't felt that the existence of this group embellished his rather boring summer life, he would have simply disbanded the group.
As for the other side, even though Yu Yongjun almost broke his guard, Yu Wei never chatted with him in private.
Obviously this rich second generation has his own persistence.
Qiao Yu never thought that he would end up giving the little fat man some brain-burning questions, and then let the little fat man use his poisonous mouth to provoke Yu Wei.
But in the end, no action was taken.
The main reason is that Qiao Yu feels that he still has to have a bottom line as a human being and cannot make all the money. As we all know, once the bottom line of human principles can start to be lowered, it means that the lower limit no longer exists.
So Qiao Yu is quite willing to be a supporting role in this group. It's nice to watch these two bickering every day. Occasionally, he takes an order from the little fat guy that's better than nothing, which is a little change from the boring summer life.
It also means that he is not slacking off and is still thinking of ways to make money.
But on the night of August 24th, he still became the protagonist of the group.
Originally, Qiao Yu accompanied Qiao Xi and Xia Keke out in the evening as usual. I didn't come back from the outside until half past eight, then rushed into the bathroom to take a shower, returned to my room, blew in the cool air conditioner, picked up my phone and opened WeChat, only to find that the gold medal group was particularly lively today.
Dayu had already @ him several times about half an hour ago.
"@元蕷林风大哥, you are a real boss! You really won the gold medal in algebra and number theory!"
"Speak quickly, boss, otherwise I feel like I am excited in vain ! ”
"By the way, did you scroll down when you were looking at the results? Go check out the results for the applied mathematics track!"
......
Following them were the two of them as usual. There was a quarrel.
The trigger was that Yu Wei also popped up, and as usual, he directly said one word: "Huh..."
The battle began...
However, Qiao Yu didn't bother to watch the content of the argument between the two. Instead, he put down his mobile phone and logged into the official website of the Little Libaba Global Mathematics Competition on his computer. As expected, he saw the results announcement list.
The Algebra and Number Theory group ranked first, and the gold medal position was indeed his name, followed by Star City Railway No. 1 Middle School.
This is nothing, but the school column of the award-winning list of the Algebra and Number Theory Group is actually very interesting.
Gold Medal Qiao Yu, school Xingcheng Railway No. 1 Middle School.
Silver Award Alvin Cullum, School of MIT. Silver Award Huiying Lu, MIT.
Bronze Award Huang Bozhi, School of Johns Hopkins University.
Bronze Award Zheng Zhiwei, Huaqing University
......
When I saw the list announced by Xiaohu University for the first time, Qiao Yu felt that his name It seems ordinary among them, but the school name that follows looks really eye-catching.
Star City Railway No. 1 Middle School is at the top, followed closely by MIT X2, followed by Johns Hopkins University, and finally Huaqing University?
Hmm...
With just one glance, Qiao Yu realized that this ranking had the potential to become popular.
The main reason is that the schools with silver and bronze awards are too dazzling when put together with Xingtie.
After commenting in his mind, Qiao Yu continued to scroll down, and sure enough he saw Yu Wei's name in the penultimate place of the Excellence Award. However, there are quite a lot of excellence awards in the algebra and number theory group, more than ten people.
Then Qiao Yu started to scroll down again. In the Applied Mathematics and Computational Mathematics group, there was actually Yu Yongjun's name, the last one in the Excellence Award.
I thought this guy was going for paddling, but he unexpectedly won a prize.
Of course Qiao Yu remembered correctly. The prize for the Excellence Award was also two thousand US dollars. Converted to RMB 14,000.
This made him suddenly feel that he had lost too much to help this guy solve a problem for 40 yuan!
Sure enough, you can’t be soft-hearted, talking about feelings will hurt your money.
Returning to WeChat, Qiao Yu quickly found dayu and had a private chat: "Congratulations on winning the award, hurry up and V me 70! You understand."
The private chat flashed instantly: "Boss, I don't understand. !"
Qiao Yu replied righteously: "You I got the answers to the seven questions later, and I feel like I’m at a loss, so hurry up!”
“! This time it was very simple. After three exclamation points, the other party directly sent a red envelope.
Qiao Yu opened it and saw that there were a hundred.
As expected, people will be particularly generous when encountering happy events.
Qiao Yu accepted the red envelope with peace of mind, then took a look at the group and sent a message casually: "Congratulations to the two big guys, happy to present the excellence award!"
dayu replied immediately With a proud expression on his face, Cicada said as usual: "Haha..."
The battle in the group started again, but Qiao Yu ignored these two people.
Because the phone rang immediately, it was still Principal Zhang, so I had to not answer it.
"Congratulations, Qiao Yu!" The principal's cheerful voice reached his ears.
The principal is indeed well-informed.
Qiao Yu glanced at the time on the computer. Although the group had been arguing for a long time, it had only been half an hour since the news was announced on the official website.
“Thank you, Principal Zhang, are you still paying attention to this?”
"Ha, I didn't pay special attention, but reporters from Xingnan Morning News who want to interview you have called me. Do you think I still know? Haha..."
The laughter is hearty. , Qiao Yu could feel that Principal Zhang was really happy at this time.
But thinking about the list he saw just now, he can probably understand Principal Zhang's happiness at this time.
Originally, it was not a very well-known school in Xingnan Province, but suddenly it was ranked with the legendary Ivy League school on the other side of the ocean, and even beat it. It is probably the best school in the entire China. Make a name for yourself.
"The newspaper reporter wants to interview me? Is it an online interview or a face-to-face interview?" Qiao Yu asked.
"Of course the reporter hopes to interview you face to face, or he wants to take two photos of you for use. Don't underestimate the newspaper. You may not know it. The Morning Post was directly merged into the Xingnan Daily a few years ago. In addition, our Star City does not have a daily newspaper, so in the morning The newspaper also assumes the function of the Star City newspaper.
Well, you don’t know much about this. In short, the head of the school’s superior department will pay attention to the content of the morning newspaper.”
Zhang. The principal said seriously.
"Oh, that's okay." Qiao Yu thought for a while and agreed.
After all, the school was actually pretty good to him.
Especially when he agreed to a bunch of conditions, Little Libaba's finals hadn't even started yet.
Of course the most important thing is to look at the good old man’s face.
"Okay, let's make an appointment at 9:30 tomorrow morning. You don't have to participate in military training tomorrow. Is it okay to come to school at 9 a.m.?"
"Well, where is the school?"
"Just come, I will pick you up at the school gate and take you to my office."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone and returning to the WeChat interface, Qiao Yu found that the good old man had also sent him a message and a document.
"Congratulations, Qiao Yu. Unfortunately, I knew it in advance, and now I don't feel any surprise at all."
"In addition, the document I sent you is a paper. You can send it to me. Go to your computer and download a PDF to read if it cannot be opened. You can read it with a computer. I believe this paper will be helpful to you. By the way, you can also learn how to write a paper from this paper." "Received, thank you, Teacher Lan." After saying this, he uploaded the paper to the computer as Lan Jie said.
The good old man was right. The news had been confirmed a long time ago, and there really wasn't much of a surprise at this time.
At most, I was a little excited when I just saw the list, but it wasn't because I won the gold medal, it was mainly because the prize money of more than 200,000 yuan was guaranteed.
According to Professor Xue, after the results are announced, Little Libaba will successively transfer the bonuses to the contestants’ cards. There will be an awards ceremony later, but not all winners are required to be present.
After all, it is a global mathematics competition. If you can’t schedule it, you can choose not to go.
For Qiao Yu, a one-time income of 200,000 yuan can really solve many problems.
For example, the refrigerator at home that always makes a lot of noise every day can be replaced in an elegant way.
The sponge of the sofa also loses its elasticity. There is also Qiao Xi’s mattress. He has been using it since he can remember, and he is probably older than him...
Just as he was thinking about how to distribute the huge sum of 200,000 yuan, the door suddenly opened. After being pushed away, Xia Keke rushed in like a woman like the wind, startling Qiao Yu.
"Hey, you can't..."
"Wow, brother, you are so awesome! I just beat you on the D note and won the Little Libaba Competition The gold medal is said to be the only one to get a perfect score in the algebra track, knocking off MIT," Xia Keke said, holding up his mobile phone.
Qiao Yu was a little surprised.
Is the self-media working so hard now?
How long has it been since the results came out and you have already been given a D grade?
"No, didn't I tell you earlier..." Qiao Yu curled his lips and was about to brag a few words when he saw Qiao Xi standing at the door, staring at him. I feel a little nervous.
“Ahem, it’s just a gold medal. Stop watching short videos. Look at me. I don’t play D for more than ten minutes a day. Show me what I said and wrote...”
< br>
As he spoke, Qiao Yu reached out, grabbed the phone from Xia Keke's hand, and clicked on it.
In fact, the first half is a screenshot of the official competition website announcing the results, and the second half is a photo of the entrance of Xingtie No. 1 Lieutenant Colonel, and then it is scrolled and played with exciting background music. It looks really crude.
However, this kind of media account can probably only get this information at this time, and it really can’t be more demanding.
After all, he is not a celebrity. If someone can find a picture of the school gate on the Internet, he is already very dedicated.
What surprised Qiao Yu was that there were already 2,632 comments in the comment area with the bubble mark next to it.
Modern people are lazy. In fact, not many people like to comment on such short videos. They basically just take a look at them. If you can give a thumbs up and give a like, you are a conscientious person. In just half an hour, there will be 2,600+ comments, which definitely has the potential to become popular.
So Qiao Yu casually clicked on the comment area and saw the first comment with the most likes.
“Although I am not a native of Star City, I have been working and living in Star City for five years. I have never heard that there is a Star City Railway No. 1 Middle School in Star City before. I thought it at first It’s Xilin Railway No. 1 Middle School in my hometown. Am I too ignorant?”
The first reply below.
“Don’t belittle yourself, I grew up in Star City and have never heard of it.”
"You are not alone. You are a native of Star City's HX District and have never heard of it."
This made Qiao Yu a little unconvinced. Although Xingtie No. 1 Middle School is indeed not that well-known, it is still a provincial model school, so it is not so unknown, right?
Followed by the second most liked comment.
“I was really shocked when I suddenly saw the name of my alma mater. Objectively speaking, Xingtie No. 1 Middle School is indeed quite rigorous in academic studies, and it also has strict requirements on school ethos and discipline, but after all, it’s hard to say that it’s breaking the sky. It’s just a B-level high school. I can only say that this junior named Qiao Yu has brought our alma mater to a level that it doesn’t belong to.”
Well, Qiao Yu doesn’t know how much this graduate has. The word "carry" used by the alumni of 2008 is a bit exaggerated.
But since it was a compliment to him, Qiao Yu reluctantly accepted it.
Without reading the comments, Qiao Yu was attracted by the hot search keywords for Qiao Yu in Xingtie No. 1 given above the comment area. He clicked on it curiously, and after flipping through a few pages, he became angry.
Several people have already changed their IDs to Xingcheng Qiao Yu.
The whole world belongs to Yanzu. He can understand it, and he doesn’t know how Uncle Yanzu views this matter, but it’s really uncomfortable for him to be impersonated by a bunch of people before he has a chance to become famous. .
Before the good mood disappeared completely, Qiao Yu returned the phone to Xia Keke.
"Brother, how do you feel at this time?" Xia Keke looked at Qiao Yu like a pilgrim and asked.
Although after Qiao Yu came back, he told her that she would definitely win the gold medal. But simply winning a gold medal is completely different from winning a gold medal by defeating college students from MIT, Huaqing, and Johns Hopkins.
There is no harm without comparison.
Similarly, without comparison, it cannot show how valuable this gold medal is.
Thanks to Sanhuo Huohuosan for the reward and encouragement
