Chapter 93 I say it very humbly
On the third day after the results can be checked, which is the last day of October, the Xingnan Provincial Mathematical Society announced the list of provincial awards for this year’s National Middle School Mathematics League.
There are 81 first prizes in total. This year, the Chinese Mathematical Society has given 32 places to Xingnan Province, which seems to be quite a lot, but it is four fewer places than last year.
No way, the quota for each province fluctuates based on the performance of the previous provinces in the finals.
That is to say, only the top 32 students who won the first prize this year can form the provincial team and participate in the winter camp in November or the following national competition. As he said after finishing the exam, Qiao Yu ranked first in Xingnan Province, but he was not tied for first.
Unfortunately, although he thought the question was easy, another lucky person did not show up.
It is said that I am representing the province, but in fact, I still sign up for the national competition as a school unit. Moreover, Xingnan Province does not organize training camps. Generally, after the team leader is determined, all the confirmed players are gathered together for a meeting before going to participate in the national competition.
Qiao Yu actually didn't care about these processes, but he felt that the Xingnan Mathematical Society announced the list a little too early.
It’s already October 31st, why not just postpone it to next month?
Not for anything else, but mainly because he was afraid that his fellow graduate students at Yujiang University would accidentally see the Xingnan Province announcement and feel uncomfortable.
After all, a student who ranks first in the province in the preliminaries has a great chance of entering the top 60 in the national competition. The idea that he needs to spend money to make up for classes is self-defeating.
Although Qiao Yu also knew that his senior brothers most likely did not believe his lies, but some things require the kind of I know you are pretending not to know, and you also know I am pretending not to know you are there. The subtle feeling of pretending not to know.
For example, if suddenly a senior in the group said: "Congratulations to my junior for winning first place in the province in the National Middle School Mathematics League!" Wouldn't that be embarrassing?
If the list is announced until November, Qiao Yu can easily make excuses. After all, does Qiao Yu in October have anything to do with Qiao Yu in November? After a month, people's thinking has a slight deviation, which is very reasonable.
Fortunately, such a disgraceful thing did not happen.
However, someone in his other friend group started to make a fuss.
"@yushulinfeng, shit, Qiao Yu, you actually won the first place in the provincial league again? Do you want to fight so hard?"
Obviously, it is definitely possible to send such news. It's Yu Yongjun.
Generally, as long as Yu Wei, the second-generation rich man, is not fighting with Yu Yongjun, he is definitely peeking at the screen.
That’s what Qiao Yu thinks anyway. After all, it can't be such a coincidence every time. Every time Yu Yongjun said a few bad words about Yu Wei, or when he flattered Qiao Yu for a little bit, he didn't specifically @ him, but this guy could always be in the group in time. Appear in the chat, and then either reply or make sarcastic remarks.
So the two started to quarrel in the group.
This happens again and again.
Although Yu Wei didn't know it, Qiao Yu had forgiven this guy countless times in his heart, and Qiao Yu himself was even touched many times - he was such a hot-tempered person, and he was so angry with the rich second man. Dai's tolerance level is really high!
The same is true today.
Seeing this message from Yu Yongjun, Qiao Yu replied humbly: "It's not that I worked too hard, it's that the person who asked the question didn't work hard enough. I won the first place not because the question was too easy. If the questions are more difficult... Oh, by the way, the questions are the same for everyone in the competition, right? Then it's okay... You think I didn't say anything."
Sure enough, as soon as the news was sent out, Yu Wei appeared.
Cicada does not know the snow: "Haha..."
Yu Yongjun: "Some people, please respect yourself. I just took a look and found that someone was ranked third in Linhai. How can you have the nerve to jump out? Haha?”
Cicada Zhixue: “How strong Linhai’s digital rivals are, especially the CMO. Some people are concerned about you. Do you think the country's strongest math player is just kidding? Qiao Yu only got first place in Xingnan, but I don't know if he can be ranked in the top three in Linhai! And I'm only 5 points behind the first place!"
Yu Yongjun: "No, isn't it only the rankings that are announced? How can you still check other people's scores?"
Cicada didn't know Xue: "I have my own way, so I don't need you to worry about it!"
...
Seeing this conversation, Qiao Yu felt a little intolerable.
It’s okay to be looked down upon by others, but you can’t be looked down upon by the rich second generation...
So he quickly replied: "No, no, no, even to say it modestly, I'm here Linhai is also No. 1. Although I don’t know how many points your Linhai No. 1 score is, but I’m sure that No. 1 will only be tied for first place with me.”
Yu Yongjun: "The boss is right, he is worthy of being a gold medal player! This kind of confidence is what you need! Someone named Yu in the group just wants to make up for his broken self-esteem, let's ignore him!"
Cicada does not know snow: "Haha... you First place means first place? Do you know what the first place score is in the Linhai competition? "
Look, it's not that Qiao Yu wants to show off, but that the world is forcing him all the time. What else could a five-year-old do?
All he could do was to quickly take out his mobile phone, enter the backend of the score checking system skillfully, and then directly take a screenshot of the competition score he found through the official query, and immediately send it to this small group of only three people. inside.
Then he added calmly: "There's really nothing I can do. I accidentally got full marks on both the first and second tests. Hey... I don't know what the marking teacher did. Did he not mark the marks seriously? , and don’t deduct a few points for making small mistakes.
Well... Linhai's national competition shouldn't use the national unified test paper issued by the Mathematics Society, right? Or maybe your competition also uses a points system? Of course, if your first to third place scores are higher than the full score, I really can’t get the first place. ”
As soon as this news came out, Yu Yongjun started to post emoticons very cooperatively.
The first one was the dumbfounded look on the panda face, and the second one was the dumb smile on the cat face. The third one was a villain who paid homage and then quickly said: "Big boss is mighty! Someone come out and die quickly! "
Then @ Chan Zhi Zhi Xue started to be coquettish again, and said in a arrogant voice: "Come out, don't pretend to be dead, what else do you have to say? Don't play urine escape, class escape, cell phone smash escape... don't play against the wind! Otherwise I despise you! Well, are you really so angry that you smashed your phone? "
After a while, Yu Wei appeared, still writing coldly: "If you want to despise me, Qiao Yu despises me! What right do you have to look down on me as the fifth person in Shuangqing? ”
Then Yu Wei also @Qiao Yu: "It's useless to say more, see you in the national competition! I will definitely surpass you!"
Qiao Yu also immediately responded: "Well, should I say it or not... This Do you believe it yourself?”
Yu Wei: “Heh. Ha..."
Qiao Yu quickly answered again: "But it's not completely impossible. I just thought of an almost perfect plan. Do you want to hear it?"
Yu? Wei: "..."
Qiao Yu: "Don't you think we have to take the exam for two days? Let's all do the questions well on the first day. Anyway, I will definitely get full marks on the three questions on the first day. Then based on how you answer the questions on the first day, the second God will allow you to fulfill your wishes, such as doing less questions and so on. In exchange, after you successfully beat me once, you will generously grant me a small wish, and we will both be happy. , what do you think?”
Yu Wei: "Haha, I'm sorry, not interested!"
Yu Yongjun: "F*ck, boss, next time something like this happens, can you talk to that inexplicably proud guy in private? I'm afraid that guy will suddenly But I feel that face is not that important. If I really agree to your proposal, wouldn’t you want to discuss how to kill me together? I’m so scared!”
Yu Wei: “Get out!”< br>
Qiao Yu: "..."
...
Qiao Yu was very depressed. This Yu Wei was still too young and too inflexible.
This idea of spending a small amount of money to get physical and mental pleasure, which is obviously a win-win situation, Yu Wei rejected outright and did not discuss the feasibility of this idea with him privately.
After all, he really thought he could do such a small operation.
Anyway, Tie Yizhong's requirement for him is just to join the national training team and win a gold medal at the IMO. It is enough for the national training team to enter the top 60. According to previous years' competitions, the scores of the national team are generally within the range of 84-90 points.
CMO’s score for each question is three times that of IMO, which is 21 points. There are a total of six questions in two days, with a total score of 126 points.
So as long as he ensures that the other questions are completely correct and only does one less question, he can get 105 points. If the operation is more extreme and he takes a little risk, he can even beat Yu Wei by half. Question.
It’s a pity that the rich second generation guy is too old-fashioned and principled. He doesn’t even know how to criticize this guy!
Five-star negative review for the unkind rich second generation!
But no matter what, a group of friends have successfully entered the provincial team, and it is indeed very happy that everyone can meet in Ningshui soon.
Qiao Yu actually wanted to see if these two guys would really meet offline again and see if they could fight directly.
Well, judging from the tonnage, if no one intervenes, Yu Wei will definitely be at a disadvantage. Especially with Yu Wei's character and the popularity he showed in Little Libaba's math competition, except for the teacher, probably no one would start a fight when he was beaten.
Qiao Yu has already begun to consider whether it is time to create more opportunities for the three of them to be alone after everyone arrives in Ningshui.
If the two sides fight like this, he might be able to be a hero and save the rich.
I feel quite happy when I think about it.
......
Qiao Yu felt happy, and the principal and teachers of Tieyi Middle School naturally felt even happier.
Actually speaking, the results of this year’s national mathematics competition of Xingtie No. 1 Middle School were not very good. Probably because the questions in this year's first test were admittedly difficult, except for Qiao Yu, all the five people who signed up for the competition from Xingtie No. 1 Middle School were wiped out, and none of them got a third-level exam. But obviously this small failure is not important. After the results were found out, the school was still in a joyful atmosphere.
The banner congratulating Qiao Yu for winning the gold medal in the Little Libaba International Mathematics Competition has been removed, but the banner congratulating Qiao Yu for winning first place in the Xingnan Province of the National Middle School Mathematics League has been hung up again, and it is a seamless connection.
Three photos were posted on the school’s official account, and Qiao Yu appeared three times.
Qiao Yu took a photo with Principal Zhang alone under the banner, Qiao Yu took a photo with teacher Lan Jie, and finally Qiao Yu took a photo with the school leaders and the middle and high school head teachers. open.
Although there was no exclusive interview this time, the last group photo also appeared in the "Xingnan Daily" and "Star City Morning News" the next day.
So Qiao Yu knew that he was in the newspaper again because Principal Zhang thoughtfully gave him two newspapers the next day and kept them as souvenirs. Then Qiao Yu gave it to Xia Keke on the weekend.
After all, Qiao Yu really didn't think this was anything to commemorate.
Is it possible to keep two tattered newspapers and take them out when he is old and say to his grandson: "I remember back then..."
Others may have this hobby, but Qiao Yu feels that as long as he is old, It's still awesome, there's no need to say the words "I remember back then...".
After all, only the weak will remember the glory of the past.
Just like when his grandpa was drinking with friends, whenever someone brought up these three words at the wine table, his grandpa would say: "Keep it away, there are children here, don't think about that! I I only believe the stories told by those rotten people in the prisons about those years ago. We old guys are all really poor!”
Although his grandfather's words were rough, Qiao Yu always felt that his dear grandfather was actually a philosopher, and those words that sounded extremely rough contained truth. Even the powerful open-mouthed curses have a unique charm to them.
Grandpa lived a clear life, but it was a pity that the year never took off and his age was fixed at fifty-eight.
......
The winter camp registration channel opened, and the school immediately registered for Qiao Yu. Anyway, Qiao Yu didn't worry about all the details.
Of course, the competition does not accept registration by students themselves. All registrations are unified by the school.
The team leader for this year’s winter camp in Xingnan Province has also been determined and announced on the website of the Xingnan Mathematical Society. The team was led by Honorary Professor Luo, a specially appointed expert from the High School Affiliated to Xingnan Normal University, a master's tutor at the School of Mathematics and Statistics of Xingnan Normal University, and the director of the Mathematical Olympiad Research Institute.
After the team leader was determined, the top thirty-two players in the provincial competition went to a one-day meeting with their instructors.
The list of people going to the winter camp was announced at the meeting. What is more surprising is that Lan Jie can also follow Qiao Yu to participate in this winter camp as an informal camper.
This is probably the benefit that Qiao Yu got for Lan Jie by getting an incredible score.
According to the rules set by the organizing committee, in addition to the team leader, each province can also bring several non-staff instructors to participate in the winter camp. Especially in major competition provinces like Linhai, Yujiang, Xingnan, and Xingbei, because there are many players allocated, a team leader is afraid that he will be too busy.
It is appropriate to have a few instructors as assistants.
It’s just that in previous years, they chose coaches from prestigious schools. To put it bluntly, everyone is still counting on these players to get good results in the national competition during the winter camp. Even if you don't have time to train during the winter camp, if you have a familiar coach by your side to give key players pre-exam psychological massage, if you can answer one more question, won't the results come out?
There is no doubt that Qiao Yu is the big killer in Xingnan Province this year that will hit the IMO, and the importance of Lan Jie is reflected.
Although it is true that the CMO has to select 60 people, in the end, only six of these sixty people can eventually represent China in the IMO. There are more than thirty competition regions across the country. What's even more annoying is that every year, there are often several people who enter the final six from the same division.
Weak areas have no dignity, and only strong ones can fight for the right to speak... This is true economically, and it is also true in competition.
Although one more person will cost more money, it can be seen that Zhang Tiejun is still very happy.
Especially every time I come back from a meeting outside recently, my face is full of spring breeze and I walk with wind in my eyes.
The most important thing is that Lao Zhang is genuine and unambiguous. Inadvertently, Qiao Yu discovered that he had an extra 30,000 yuan in his card. It was awarded by the school, and it was specifically stated that he did not need to worry about taxes. The school had already paid the taxes for him.
For this reason, Qiao Yu even went to Lao Zhang and asked what happened to the bonus.
After all, according to the previous agreement, he had to win the gold medal in the national competition before he could start exploding the school's gold coins.
Lao Zhang patted Qiao Yu's shoulder grandly and explained: "This is your reward for taking the first place in the exam. When we agreed before, didn't we expect that you would directly take the first place in the province with a full score!" But don’t say anything outside. In fact, every school has rewards, but everyone gives them secretly and doesn’t tell anyone.”
This Party A is so cute, Lao Zhang is such a good person!
For this reason, Qiao Yu didn't think Zhang Tiejun's habit of tapping people on the shoulders was a bad habit.
At this time, the specific schedule of the winter camp was also announced.
This year’s winter camp is scheduled to run from November 17th (Sunday) to November 23rd (Saturday). Like previous years, it will last a total of seven days. The official exam will be on the 19th and 20th. The venue was Luhai Middle School in Ningshui City, Yujiang Province.
For Qiao Yu, there was nothing much to say. He had nothing to prepare for anyway.
The biggest reward for him this time going to Ningshui City, Yujiang Province to participate in the winter camp will be the 100,000 bonus for winning the gold medal, and the 100,000 bonus for joining the national training team, for a total of 200,000. This has been agreed with the school a long time ago.
As for the other two hundred thousand, we have to wait until July next year.
However, according to Lao Zhang’s generous character, if he can win the first place in the national competition gold medal, he might be able to give more if he is excited.
Although he doesn’t expect his bonus to increase by one digit, he can still make a lot of money by casually changing the number in the 10,000 digit from zero to any other number.
Qiao Yu now really understands how difficult it is to make money! He worked tirelessly to help all his fellow students revise their papers, but he only received 4,000 yuan in tuition fees. This shows from the side that it is really difficult to make personal money, but it is much easier to make corporate money.
Of course the premise is that you have the ability to achieve it.
In this way, time quickly came to the day of departure.
The farewell to her mother was much simpler. She didn’t even have time to go through the process. Before he could speak, Qiao Xi simply pointed to the door of her house and said four words: "Get out of here!"
However, Qiao Yu still stepped forward and hugged this hard-spoken and soft-hearted woman in a ceremonial manner before dragging her luggage and leaving.
...
To put it bluntly, the first day of the winter camp is mainly about welcoming the delegations from each competition area and reporting in. The reporting time lasts from 8 am to 6 pm.
It only takes six hours to take the high-speed rail from Xingcheng to Ningshui. You can take the high-speed rail that departs at 9:40 in the morning and you will arrive at around 3:40 in the afternoon. Therefore, the Xingnan Provincial Team also directly arranged to set off on the 17th.
November is the off-season for tourism. The provincial team directly booked a carriage and gave the young players good treatment, including first-class seats.
The carriage was very lively. Most of the students selected were students from the four prestigious schools. Most of them had many classmates. They were from the same school, even if they were not in the same grade or class, they usually trained together. In short, students from prestigious schools have no worries about finding someone to chat with along the way.
Of course, there are also some students from scattered middle schools, mainly players and Qiao Yu who go to prestigious schools outside Star City.
Yes, there are only a pitiful three of the top 32 non-prestigious school players selected for the provincial team this time, and they are from three different schools. If we go to Star City specifically, Qiao Yu is really the only one.
At this time, Lan Jie’s role came into play.
The two of them were naturally arranged to sit together in class, and they could chat with each other along the way. Although it was not as lively as other places, Qiao Yu felt that it was quite enjoyable.
Of course, Qiao Yu did not receive any cold treatment. On the contrary, while he was still in the waiting room, competition bosses from prestigious schools would come to say hello to him from time to time. Some came to get close and begged to add WeChat; some came to ask questions; and some simply came to brag with Qiao Yu.
Professor Luo, the provincial team leader, also came to chat with Qiao Yu for a while before driving, and the discussion was still about high-end topics. For example, ask Qiao Yu what he thinks of the topic of this competition? What are your thoughts after finishing the exam? Do you have any suggestions for the development of competition topics, and so on...
No way, no matter any competition, the first place will always receive more attention. Not to mention that Qiao Yu accidentally got a perfect score.
It was just a short time waiting for the bus, and we couldn’t get to know each other right away.
Although he is not very familiar with the other students in the carriage, there are two acquaintances of the same age on WeChat who are also qualified to participate in this year's winter camp.
What made Qiao Yu most angry was that while he was eating tasteless fast food on the high-speed rail at noon, Yu Yongjun posted two photos in the group, in which both of them were already settling in. There was a buffet in the hotel.
Of course, the photos were all taken by Yu Yongjun. It was obvious that this guy shamelessly approached and sat across from Yu Wei. I don’t know how this guy can be so thick-skinned.
Judging from Yu Wei's expression in the photo, it is obvious that the little fat man is not very welcome.
Unfortunately, the two did not fight directly in the restaurant, because the other party still had time to reply to his WeChat message, which meant that both hands were empty.
"I won't say anything about Yu Wei. It only takes two hours for him to go from Linhai to Ningshui by high-speed rail. But you are in Shuangqing, so far away from Ningshui. How can you reach the hotel so quickly? "Looking at the delicacies on their plates, and then at the tasteless high-speed rail fast food in front of him, Qiao Yu asked with some annoyance.
A third, a fifth, eat better than him! Is this reasonable?
"Forget it, we gathered at five o'clock in the morning and arrived at the airport at six-thirty. We waited for twenty minutes before boarding the plane. We caught up on some sleep on the plane and arrived in Ningshui before we even woke up."
That makes sense.
Qiao Yu suddenly realized that his short fifteen years of life were too good. Because he had never flown before, he was so angry that he just ignored the fact that planes were faster than high-speed trains. He felt a little ashamed.
So the replies all seemed mean: "What a sumptuous buffet! You two eat more and try to fill your brains with fat before the exam. In this way, after the national competition, you don't need to go back and forth next March. Let’s run! Come on, let’s eat!”
