Chapter 35
First Middle School sophomore classroom.
Math teacher Lao Liu finished his lecture and tapped the podium, “Students, the annual Olympiad selection contest is about to begin, those who are interested make preparations, as for me, I am suggesting that those who have math scores over 138 or above should participate, and those who are below this score line should review well in school.”
Some students felt it was unfair, “Teacher, why don’t you allow participation? Everyone has an equal chance.”
Old Liu wasn’t angry at all and was very understanding, “This student is right, as for why I don’t let that part of you participate, I’m also doing it for your own good. First of all, it’s not that I won’t let you participate ah, it’s because those who are below this score will only be abused when they go there, not to mention the other things at that time, it’s a big blow to your confidence, and if it’s serious, you’ll all lose your interest in learning math in the future.”
“Of course, if there are students who feel that they are mentally tough and can accept such a blow, there’s no harm in going to participate, as if experiencing life.”
Old Liu said this, dissuading most of the students.
Yan Qimai elbowed Chi Yu next to her and asked her in a low voice, “Little Yu’er, you’re participating, right? You’re so good at math, it would be a waste if you don’t participate.”
Who knows, she saw Ji Yu shaking her head, “I’m not participating.”
“Why?”
Ji Yu came over and answered in a low voice, “I haven’t participated in OU, I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle it.”
Yan Qimai let out an “ah”, “That would be too bad~ In fact, I think you can give it a try, you see that you even managed to get a perfect score on such a difficult test, what else can be difficult for you?”
Ji Yu laughed softly, “How can I be that good? OU is not like the usual questions, it’s too brain-burning, if you have the time to do this, you might as well brush up on a few more college entrance exam questions.”
The two whispered below, and heard Old Liu speaking from above, “If the score is enough, I suggest you all pay attention to it, this Olympiad is related to your guaranteed place in Phoenix University next year, it’s an admission ticket!”
Old Liu’s words just fell, the whole class clamored, the original has already beaten the drum of students also stupid.
Feng University, one of the nation’s highest institutions of learning, who wouldn’t aspire to it?
“No, just take the hit, I’ll put up a fight.”
“Right, we can’t give up just because of a little blow, right? How unspirited we look, right?”
“Teacher, I want to join.”
“I’ll join too.”
“……”
Old Liu also understands the desire of this group of children, he taps on the blackboard, “Quiet everyone, since the students are so confident, let’s give it a try, but make sure to think twice again before signing up, it’s best to discuss it with your family. By the way, the registration deadline is next Friday, students think about it, go to the class president to register, the final unified list to me.”
Yan Qidao said, “Little Fisher, are you really not going to enroll?”
Ji Yu didn’t say dead this time, “I’ll reconsider.”
Yan Qimai was anxious instead, “What else to consider? Feng Da Oh, you don’t want to go? You have a favorite university?”
In fact, Ji Yu was still considering, Phoenix University was also one of her goals, however, before that she was preparing to take the exam for Q University, which was even more difficult to take than Phoenix University, moreover, Q University’s medical department was at the top in the country.
That’s right, Ji Yu was preparing to study medicine, which was also her father’s wish.
Chi Zhao’s wish since childhood was to study medicine, but he failed in English, and finally, by mistake, became a sports specialty student. When his daughter went to elementary school, Chi Zhao consciously looked for an English teacher to help Chi Yu catch up on her lessons so that history would not repeat itself.
In the evening, Ling Yuan came to find Ji Yue again with a midnight snack.
This time, there was no need for him to greet him, Ji Yu had already automatically and consciously divided the noodles and started eating.
Sighing as she ate, “Senior, I feel like I won’t get tired of these noodles even if I eat them for a year.”
Ling Yuan hooks his lips, “Then I’ll bring it to you for a year.”
Ji Yu shakes her head, “Or don’t, senior is so busy, how can he have so much time, you tell me where you bought it, I’ll go pack it and bring it back to senior on the way.”
Ling Yuan smiled gently, “It doesn’t take much time, besides, I can’t be studying twenty-four hours a day, right? There’s always a need to come out for a walk, consider it a break.”
Ji Yu thinks about it and thinks it makes sense, so she doesn’t say anything else, she thinks about the OU competition and asks in passing, “Senior, do you know about the OU that that school is talking about?”
Ling Yuan nodded, “I know, are you enrolling?”
“Didn’t think about it.”
“Is there something wrong with it?”
Ji Yu shook his head, “Senior, do you enroll? The teacher said that if you take it in your senior year, you can be directly guaranteed a place at Feng University.”
Ling Yuan swallows the noodles in his mouth, “I’m not going to enroll, leaving the spot for students who need it.”
Ji Yu was a bit curious, “Senior doesn’t want to go to Feng University?”
“Well, I’m going to take the law faculty of University Q.”
University Q’s medical faculty and law faculty are two ace majors.
Ji Yu raised his eyes and thought, what a coincidence.
“The score line of University Q is very high, but with Senior’s grades it’s definitely not a problem.”
“What about you?”
Ling Yuan also wanted to know what school she wanted to enter.
“Me~” Ji Yu’s eyebrows were colored with a smile, “My goal is the medical department of University Q. Senior, we have the same goal.”
Ling Yuan also smiled and stretched out his right hand, “So~ a high five for our goals?”
“Come on, Give me five.”
“Pah~” a loud high five, and the two of them smiled at each other under the moonlight.
“However, I suggest you sign up for this competition.”
“Why?”
Ling Yuan analyzes her, “This competition has a high gold content, besides being an entrance ticket to Feng University, if you get a place, you’ll get extra points in the college entrance exam, and~”
He dragged out his voice as if he was luring her, “The organizer will award 30,000 yuan in prize money for winning the first prize, and our school will also get 50,000 yuan. How’s that? Is it attractive enough?”
Ling Yuan didn’t care about this amount of prize money, but for other students, this amount of money was still quite a lot, and he wasn’t sure if Ji Yu needed it.
“Wow …… so much?”
Ji Yu arched a thin eyebrow, “That’s something to try.”
If she could get the first prize, then she could save that money for college living expenses, and although Ji Zhao had left some money, she wanted to leave some of it for her grandfather.
Old people were always sick, and she couldn’t just sit on her ass.
When the winter and summer vacations were over, she was also going to work part-time to increase her income.
When she returned to the classroom the next day, Ji Yu went to the class president, Liu Xing, and signed up.
There are still many students in the class, but Yan Qimai did not report, her math belongs to the short board, in her words, she will not go to take their own short board and other people’s long board to fight, steady loss, do denominator, she is not happy.
Ji Yu liked the fact that she had a clear perception of herself and wouldn’t blindly follow the wind.
However, Yan Qimai is very supportive of her enrollment in the Olympics, “Little fisher, you do a good job, if you can win the first prize, after I go out on the bull, people ask me, who is your desk, I said, my desk is called pool fisher, won the first prize in the Olympics. Wow…… think about it all feel exciting. However, I now tell people that my deskmate is the first in the grade, and they are envious.”
