Knowing nothing about what happened backstage at the competition, Hao Yun took the subway to Jinling Road in Shanghai City after coming out of the competition. He wanted to buy something for his family to send back, but after shopping around for several times, he couldn't find it. Souvenirs with local characteristics.
It happened that he hadn't called home for a while, so Hao Yun took out his mobile phone, opened his address book, and made a call home.
"Hey, Dad, what are you doing?"
Comrade Hao Youcai was having lunch when he received the call.
"You can't be busy on Saturday, but what are you doing? Why did you remember calling your dad? Have you run out of living expenses? I'll call you right now."
"No, no, no, no, no, no. The living expenses are enough. When I get the money back, I even want to send you some money," Hao Yun chuckled, and then said, "I'm in Shanghai! I just wanted to ask if there is anything I want to buy at home. I'm here I’ll buy it and send it to you!”
"Shang Hai?" Hao You was stunned for a moment and put down the chopsticks in his hand, "Aren't you studying in Jiangcheng? Why did you go to Shang Hai to play?"
"What are you kidding about? I'm going to participate in the competition!" Hao Yun was immediately unhappy when he heard that his father had misunderstood him.
"Contest?"
"The finals of the Hope Cup National College Student Programming Competition!"
"You kid, I never heard you say that," Hao Youcai complained and continued, "How is your competition... going? When will it start?"
"I just finished the competition today. I just came out of the gymnasium of Xia Dong University... Okay, dad, please stop asking so many questions and just tell me if there is anything you want. I'm just shopping. "
Listening to the relaxed tone on the other end of the phone, Hao You sighed and said: "You are really big-hearted. You are not nervous at all during the finals... But it's not even noon now. What time did you start competing? How come the competition is over so quickly?”
Hao Yun smiled sheepishly and said: "After the competition... that's not true, but I handed in the paper in advance."
"Oh, how early is it?"
"Three days."
"...?" Hao Youcai was stunned.
Three days
What the hell!
…
After chatting for a while, Hao You hung up the phone.
Shen Wen, who was sitting at the dining table eating and watching TV, asked after watching Lao Hao hang up the phone.
"What's going on with our son?"
"This brat went to Shanghai to participate in some Hope Cup competition. After the game, he asked me if I had any souvenirs to bring. I was wondering what souvenirs Shanghai could have, so I asked him to buy two for me. The cigarettes have been sent back. After a while, you transfer the money to the child and he is alone outside without saying anything, which is really worrying." After hanging up the phone, Hao You sighed and shook his head.
Hao Yun has been more independent since he was a child. He is not like the children in the neighborhood who always need his parents to worry about this and that. Whether it is study or other things, he knows what he wants and can make plans on his own without anyone to teach him.
It is a good thing to have such a sensible son. You can feel this from the envious eyes of the neighbors. But Hao Youcai still worries a lot because the child never tells his family anything, for fear that one day he will suddenly come back as an adult.
"Hope Cup competition?" Shen Wen didn't understand very well and asked hesitantly.
"Well, it seems like there is some kind of programming competition among college students across the country. Isn't my son studying software engineering? His major is exactly in this area." Hao Youcai said.
"Then...can we watch this game on TV?" Shen Wen asked.
"Hey, that sounds like it," Hao Youcai's eyes lit up, he put down his chopsticks and picked up the remote control on the table, "Such national-level events are usually broadcast live or broadcast, I'll look for them. "
Originally, I just planned to look for it, but I didn't expect that Hao You actually found it.
Xia Guo CCTV's education channel broadcast the match live with a one-hour delay. The relaxing shot was of the main entrance of Xia Dong Normal University's gymnasium.
Orange isolation tape separates the entire gymnasium, and only staff with work badges on their chests can enter or exit. At this moment, a young contestant walked out of the main entrance of the gymnasium. The reporter who was reporting on the scene quickly guided the photographer and gave the student a close-up of his face.
Looking at the figure appearing in the TV camera, the eyes of the two old men widened instantly.
"Is this Yun'er?"
"It's really this kid!" Hao Youcai excitedly clapped his thigh and continued, "I was scolding him on the phone just now. How could such an important competition hand in the paper in advance! Even if I finish writing, I have to check it a few times. Again, wow! It’s only been a few months since the college entrance examination, and this kid has completely forgotten everything I told him!"
"Come on," Shen Wen rolled her eyes at her husband angrily, "You still have the nerve to teach our son with your little cultural level, so you might as well save the trouble."
Hao Youcai smiled sheepishly.
"Aren't I worried that he will make careless mistakes? It's not a bad thing to say a few words."
Shen Wen was too lazy to pay attention to him, her eyes were completely glued to the TV screen.
Because what this journalist lady is talking about happens to be related to her precious son!
"What a surprise! Although there have been contestants who submitted their answers in advance in previous Hope Cup finals, this is the first time that such an answer has been submitted just one hour after the competition started."
As he spoke, the reporter quickly caught up with Hao Yun who was leaving the scene and put the microphone in front of him.
"This student, can I interview you? Why did you leave the examination room so quickly? Is it because the questions were too difficult?"
Hao Yun in the camera responded to the reporter's interview with a full pace. Although his front face was mosaic, both old men could recognize that it was their son Hao Yun!
"It was quite difficult. I almost didn't write it."
"I almost didn't write it down, which means you did it, right?" The reporter keenly captured the information in his words.
"Well, it must have been done," Hao Yun said with a sunny smile, "It's impossible to hand in a blank in such an important competition, right?"
"Incredible... The Hope Cup test questions have always been very rare. Every time I look at them, I feel that my IQ is not enough." The reporter made a lively joke and continued to ask, "Can I ask which question you chose? ?"
"The fourth question."
It's actually the fourth question? !
The reporter lady was stunned.
Because after the exam begins, the Hope Cup finals test questions will be published on the official website simultaneously, so she who asked this question knew what the four questions were.
What she didn't expect was that Hao Yun actually chose the fourth most difficult question? !
No, it can no longer be said to be the most difficult, because all the experts consulted in Taiwan said that except for the first question, which requires a higher understanding of industrial production lines, the other three questions are all " can write".
However, the fourth question is completely a trap question that has appeared every year.
It’s the kind of question that looks simple, but in practice, whoever chooses will die!
In theory, even if you are an expert on the main examination committee, if you want to solve this kind of problem, you need to hold several working meetings and mobilize dozens of experts to tackle the problem together.
This cannot be solved by creativity alone!
"Can I ask you why you chose the fourth question?" the reporter continued to ask.
Although the specific answer cannot be asked, this kind of subjective question can still be asked!
"There's no special reason... Mainly because I can't understand the other three questions," Hao Yun made a helpless expression and continued, "Because I have some research on the game, I chose the fourth question. "
If he hadn't seen the CCTV logo on the microphone, he would have wanted to complain about all the bad questions this year's main examination committee had given!
It’s simply too difficult!
"Haha, I didn't expect that your feelings are completely different from others," the reporter smiled subtly. Suddenly she realized something and hurriedly continued to ask, "Wait a minute, you just said that you have some research on games? Could it be that you have some research on games? Are you the author of "The Cemetery"?"
Hao Yun was stunned for a moment and nodded.
"yes?"
Suddenly, seeing the enthusiasm in the reporter's eyes, he became alert.
“Can you code this interview for me?”
"Eh? Coding? No problem! We are delaying the interview, and there will be mosaics during the broadcast... Ah, wait... "
The reporter wanted to catch up with Hao Yun, but the latter seemed to suddenly no longer want to be interviewed and slipped away at the speed of light towards the subway station in front of the school.
"Ahem, let's go back to the scene. The player just now was shy and didn't want to be interviewed. Now let's interview the main audition committee. Maybe they know what's going on with that player, so they handed in the papers so quickly... Excuse me Sir, can you tell us about the current situation of the competition?" The reporter quickly caught a staff member with a work badge on his chest and handed the microphone over.
However, when faced with the reporter's interview, the staff member just shook his head helplessly.
"I'm just a computer repairman. Regarding the progress of the competition... you have to go to the lounge of the sports center and ask the people on the trial committee."
"OK, thanks!"
Looking at the TV, curiosity was written on the faces of the two old people.
Not only the host, they also wanted to know what was going on with their son. How could the competition last for three days and the answers be handed in in just one hour
The reporter took the photographer from the corridor outside the stadium to the door of the lounge. However, after negotiating with the staff, he was told that a meeting was taking place inside and that interviews would not be accepted for the time being.
Returning to the camera with a disappointed look on her face, the reporter made a helpless expression and explained to the expectant viewers in front of the TV: "According to the staff, the audition committee seems to be meeting..."
"The reason for the meeting seems to be related to the player who left the scene just now!"
