Chapter 359 Take a Serious Look
No. 1 in the Excellence Class, was late for the meeting. When he showed up, he hooked up with the vice president of BGI, and was even invited to sit in a seat reserved for leaders.
What do you mean?
The freedom that gifted students are accustomed to is a reflection of privilege. Li Yan's "arbitrary" operation can only be said to be different from privilege.
Among the privileges, there are also privileges.
Li Yan found a seat nearby and sat down next to Qiu Shuli, who happened to be sitting next to him because he wanted to be more low-key.
He felt that as the third student in the Excellence Class, he led such a group of classmates around, attracting too much attention and being a bit high-profile.
You still have to consider your relationship with your classmates. After all, we are all talented people from all over the world. It is not good to be slapped in the face if you are too proud.
It’s definitely not because there is student No. 1 here that makes me a little timid.
But it seems that this classmate No. 1 has very different ideas from Qiu Shuli.
There is even a suspicion of deliberately showing off.
So he couldn't hold back: "Li Yan, do you know Principal Cai?"
"We don't have much interaction, but he is quite enthusiastic."
...... OK OK.
It was President Cai's turn to speak. He first read the speech carefully, which was basically all clichés.
When he put down his speech, everyone knew that the real speech was coming.
In a deep voice, he introduced the twenty-one students present one by one, and emphasized that everyone is now affiliated with BGI, and even their student status will be placed in BGI. As long as there are no unexpected circumstances, they will be transferred to BGI in two years. He is applying to the University of Washington.
I don’t know what considerations Principal Cai had, but he was very restrained when introducing Li Yan. He followed the basic pattern of introducing each student, naming the awards he had won in junior high school.
Despite this, Li Yan still looks very outstanding.
Because there are not many awards that are valuable and influential enough at the junior high school level, Qingxinao’s junior high school competition is considered the most important one.
Therefore, most of the people here have won second-class awards or above. What makes them stand out from the classmates who only won computer awards are some relying on publishing articles, some relying on science and technology competitions, and some relying on various competitions in mathematics... …
Li Yan has all of these.
The other twenty students here have at least heard of some of Li Yan’s deeds.
But everyone has different perceptions. For example, the students who won the first prize in various essay competitions knew that Li Yan’s online article "Nangong Boy" was very successful and the mystery novel also won the first prize. However, Internet writing and reasoning are always difficult to achieve.
He felt that his literary level was still higher than that of Li Yan.
In the same way, Li Yan has only won the first prize in the National Junior High School Mathematics League. There are students who specialize in this field and have won prizes in international competitions. Naturally, Li Yan is almost unworthy.
What they are most curious about is actually Li Yan's status as an "entrepreneur".
However, they have been hyped by major media and even personally participated in the operation. They have a deep understanding of the ability of reporters and media to compile heart-stirring stories from basic data, so they will not trust the media entirely.
Just like the small group in Jiangnan Province, they all agreed that the New Taipei City and even Linjiang Province were behind Li Yan’s press conference, and that Li Yan was just a tool to attract attention.
The follow-up about future technology is even more nonsense, how can a minor become a company CEO, what an international joke.
After all, it is very beneficial for Linjiang Province to create the god Li Yan.
No, No. 1 in the Excellence Class did not go to Beijing and does not belong to Jiangnan Province. The flower has fallen in Linjiang.
At the end of the day, they are very proud.
I will not look up to others easily. Even if I have to look up to others today, it is only as a goal.
So when they saw Principal Cai being so close to Li Yan, they felt a little uncomfortable.
No, the media didn’t fake it? Not exaggerating?
No matter how outstanding Li Yan is, he will not let the vice president of Huada... lower his stature like this.
Unless now Li Yan is not only a student, but also a company speaker who is full of hope and even carries the expectations of many people.
It wasn’t until Principal Cai finished speaking that some people slowly came back to their senses and began to look at Li Yan from time to time.
With curiosity, awe, love...wait for the two girls in the first row, they are progressing too fast.
We have just entered high school. Although we have been exposed to more things than ordinary students and our minds are more mature, after all, we are still in the ivory tower and are still very fresh.
An oily person who has experienced a lot in society, when Li Yan was late but the teacher didn't say anything, he was already ready to hug Li Yan's thigh.
Of course Qiu Shuli could feel all this, so he was a little unhappy.
I should have known better than to keep a low profile.
There are only twenty-one people in the Excellence Class, and each has its own area of expertise. Naturally, there is no need to offer basic courses for large classes.
From the beginning, the purpose of setting up excellence classes is to teach students in accordance with their aptitude so that everyone can learn from each other.
For a child with top talent in any aspect of mathematics, physics, and computers, learning time is extremely precious.
Principal Cai’s speech explained that the Excellence Class should follow the path of university training and allow students to choose their own courses.
And more free than college.
Students can choose from computer, mathematics, physics, literary writing and other general directions based on their own interests.
Then, based on the learning situation in the first year, start to clarify your professional learning direction.
Because the intensive lectures on basic knowledge and project research in the first year are basically divided 50-50, after everyone completes the basic study in the study direction of their choice, they can freely join the project research in different directions.
In other words, basic study is compulsory and project research is elective, but they do not count credits.
——Although these basic knowledge belong to college students, they should be regarded as advanced knowledge for real high school students.
The intention of this move by the Excellence Class is very obvious. At the age when their peers are pondering the high school entrance examination, they can accomplish what their peers only accomplish in college or even graduation - choose the direction of in-depth study and research in the future.
The instructor of this Excellence Class, Director He, is a young associate professor at the School of Humanities at BGI, showing everyone the terrifying teachers in the Excellence Class.
Obviously they are a group of high school students who skipped a grade and their teachers started out as lecturers at the University of Washington.
Teachers at New Taipei Middle School expressed great pressure.
Because the twenty-one students have already been preliminarily screened when the list is selected, no matter the general direction of the course, the corresponding topics, or the tutors, everything is tailor-made.
So "course selection", the main agenda of the conference, has become a bit boring.
Everyone is choosing courses step by step according to their own interests and strengths. Occasionally, some more confident children choose more than three topics, which can trigger some discussions.
Qiu Shuli grinned and confidently chose three major directions: computers, literary writing, and biochemistry, and selected four research topics.
It can be said that it is completely full.
It’s even a bit excessive, because with this arrangement, there will not be enough time to participate in the project research, and Qiu Shuli will not be able to follow up the whole process - normally, he should have to suffer the bitter pill of not learning enough.
But since this guy is number three, he may be able to learn more in less time than the geniuses, so there is still room in the schedule.
He even asked the dean of students if there were any advanced topics in physical education.
Then I was told that there were no physical education classes in the Excellence Class and that I could participate in sports activities with my classmates from New Taipei Middle School.
“As expected of the Almighty God of War.” Some students said with emotion.
Since we are talking about the Almighty God of War, our classmate Li Yan is naturally indispensable.
Li Yan was unmoved and did not participate in the course selection game.
The leaders and teachers actually didn't rush him.
There seems to be some kind of special tacit understanding.
Indeed, because Li Yan had negotiated with them before school started.
He wants them all.
Considering the healthy physical and mental development of teenagers and the cultivation of friendly relationships with future classmates, Li Yan decided not to take the initiative to show off.
But I couldn't stand this Qiu Shuli who inexplicably liked to be a compliment:
"Li Yan, how do you choose? At least you have a computer, right?"
"Choose them all." Li Yan has always been a passive show-off. Don't refuse.
Qiu Shuli’s expression twisted unnaturally.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that his and Li Yan's strengths overlapped greatly.
What does the Almighty God of War rely on to show off?
Comparing math with a top liberal arts major and comparing Chinese with a math geek are just the lowest methods.
Competing with the liberal arts leader in Chinese, competing with the math madman in mathematics, and competing with the top athletes in sports, this is called high-level pretense.
I can do the part where you try your best, and I can do the part where you give up.
This is the only reason why Qiu Shuli has been able to consider himself among the talented people in Jiangnan Province.
It is also an important reason why he can convince the public.
He has always been very confident, because even if he meets a certain genius who is invincible in longboarding, he will not be afraid. At worst, he will be downgraded from a high-level showmanship to a low-level showmanship.
You computer master, let’s compete in writing articles, compete in playing ball and race, and compete in singing and performing.
But today is different. Li Yan next door is also the Almighty God of War.
If the two of them are better than each other, Yu Liang will forget it for a while, but what if... Li Yan's hexagon surrounds him?
Qiu Shuli suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and his heartbeat accelerated.
No. 1, rumors on the Internet, Principal Cai’s performance...
On this single course selection, Li Yan was able to suppress him with "select all".
Moreover, Li Yan did not directly participate in course selection, and the teachers on the stage did not urge or be curious. Various signs indicate that even if this person reaches the excellence class, his status is still two words: detached.
Qiu Shuli, who suddenly felt a strong sense of urgency, couldn't help but ask:
"Eight main directions, fourteen topics, you choose them all? The class alone is full in one week, how can you follow up on the topic research? "
"It depends on the situation," Li Yan said with a smile.
"This..." Qiu Shuli was shocked, "Then how can you follow?"
He almost blurted out "It is recommended not to learn like this" and thought of many reasons, "Now it is better than Junior high school" "It's better to study more deeply" and so on.
But he held it back, because as an all-around player himself, he understood one of the qualities that one must have to be an all-around God of War - learning from Blood Mother quickly.
So when Qiu Shuli saw Li Yan for the second time, he launched the anti-slap-in-the-face system.
With such a keen sense of smell, he is worthy of being the third most talented junior high school student in the country.
"It depends on the situation. If you can't follow, just stop learning. Learning is your own business."
At this point, the topic should end.
At the end of the meeting, the instructor, Director He, suddenly played a trick. He suddenly mentioned that there were six students here who had published more than one article in newspapers and magazines at the provincial level or above, and had won many first prizes in essay competitions.
“I hope these students can write an article tomorrow about today’s meeting and their own experiences of enrolling in the Excellence Class. The BGI official website will select the best and publish it.”
These six people There are Li Yan and Qiu Shuli.
Although there were other names, everyone’s attention was still focused on the two handsome guys.
There are twelve girls among the twenty-one people, and the numbers are a little bit more yin and yang less.
In terms of quality, Li Yan and Qiu Shuli are the best, so it's not bad.
The remaining seven brothers who are ranked lower are suffering.
Chen Fan: You don’t have to think of me at this time.
Qiu Shuli is currently looking for opportunities to confront Li Yan. Is there any reason not to win this challenge?
"Li Yan, just in time, we might as well learn from Zhu Ziqing and Yu Pingbo and decide on a topic and write an article each?"
"You mean "The Qinhuai River in the Sound of Oars and Lights"?"
"Yes!"
"That's incomparable."
"..." Qiu Shuli was instantly Choked.
"Besides, writing for the entrance meeting or something... I'm really not very interested." Li Yan even yawned.
"It's okay, the teacher has arranged it anyway. If you have time, why don't we make an appointment in the library tonight or tomorrow morning, set a time and a topic, and make friends with literature?"
The meeting was over, and Qiu Shuli spoke louder. Click, several people around showed excited expressions.
Are we going to watch the duel between two king-level freshmen so soon?
Looking at the expectant looks of several people around him, Li Yan chuckled inwardly.
Think about it, these students are only fourteen or fifteen years old, they should have just been in the third grade of junior high school.
Right in the middle.
It’s so cute.
“No time.” Li Yan said, “I have to go back to deal with some company matters in the evening, and tomorrow is the day when new books are released.”
“New books are released?” Qiu Shuli frowned .
“It’s actually an old book, so I’ll just speculate on that one and the online article.”
Damn it, Qiu Shuli gritted his molar teeth. Li Yan said this by default that they knew about these two books!
But he really knows!
"The Puppet Carrying Thread" and "Nangong Boy".
Why is it on sale? I haven’t seen Li Yan talk about publishing on Weibo. Is it going to be released suddenly?
Originally, Li Yan was ready to let it go, but he was locked by a circle of doubtful eyes around him, so he could only explain:
"Before, I was busy with mobile phone matters, so I didn't pay much attention to the publishing side. I ignored my initial suggestions. Later, I always left it to others to represent me, but I should always be responsible for the sale ceremony."
< br>Who wants to hear you say this?
Qiu Shuli pursed her lips and waited until Li Yan stood up to leave before saying:
"Then next time we have a chance, let's communicate again."
Li Yan only then Finally he came back to his senses and took a serious look at Qiu Shuli.
Yo, you kid, want to fight me?
That's good. Mr. Li is studying the system and is in need of a good training partner.
When Li Yan left, Qiu Shuli sat in his seat and did not get up.
A tall and lanky student sat next to him and asked: "Brother Qiu, have you been shown off?"
He ranked second in the small team of Jiangnan Province in the excellence class in partial subjects. Born in Xia Yang, he has outstanding mathematical ability, average liberal arts, and is a rookie in sports.
In most small groups, those who have the best relationship with the leader are often followers.
But this is the Excellence Class, and their relationship with Qiu Shuli is not that of the younger brother recognizing the boss. They just admire Qiu Shuli’s current ability level.
The main reason why this group of people gathered together was because they were students from Jiangnan Province and felt they recognized their country as the “number one province in terms of education”.
As long as Li Yan is awesome enough, it will not be difficult for them to change their sense of identification with the "Excellence Class".
Obviously, Li Yan showed off their faces as soon as they met.
Here I am still thinking about how to write an article and it will be listed on BGI’s official website, but over there I have already gone to a physical book release event.
Dimensionality reduction attack.
However, Qiu Shuli did not deal with Xia Yang's teasing today as lightly as in the past.
Li Yan’s serious look was so obvious that Qiu Shuli couldn’t convince himself to ignore it.
“He doesn’t regard me as his opponent at all,” the top junior high school student in Jiangnan Province, who always thought he was the protagonist of the world, muttered to himself.
