After Lin Zhaoxi finished speaking, she felt a moment of silence.
"Excuse me." The speaker took a step back and saluted her with fists cupped. After speaking, he walked back to the stage silently.
Of course, Lin Zhaoxi also wanted to say that philosophy is not what you think, and I'm really not pretending.
But... everyone has left, and she can't stop them.
She turned to look at Pei Zhi, and Pei Zhi also looked at her.
The boys probably also found it interesting, with a little smile on their faces.
Lin Zhaoxi turned her head, thinking about how to explain it, it seemed a little strange.
—
The speech begins on time.
The lights gradually dimmed, leaving only a few beams of spotlights shining on the stage.
The three college students stood on the stage, so the stage didn't look crowded. They looked very young, but they were full of energy. After introducing themselves, the remaining two left the stage.
"Cough" The speaker passed the microphone, stood in the center of the stage, and cleared his throat.
But a second later, a shy and reserved expression suddenly appeared on his serious face.
"Sorry, I forgot the words," he said.
The audience laughed.
"Actually, we wrote tens of thousands of words of speeches before we came here, and made what we thought were particularly comprehensive preparations, but when I stood up now, I found that my mind was still blank, so please allow me to go down and bring up my manuscripts."
He walked off the stage as he spoke.
The audience in the audience laughed very happily, it is really interesting that the Polytechnic house is so cute.
The speaker stepped off the stage and brought up the whole stack of speeches, and the audience fell silent again.
Because he was indeed holding a stack of thick draft paper in his hand, proving that what he said was true. For a free lecture to share their experience, they really did a very thorough preparation.
There was a sound of flipping paper, and he suddenly looked up: "I found it, my first question is this-I want to ask, why do you come to participate in the mathematical modeling competition?"
"Because I know that when you come to our lectures, you must hope to achieve better results in the modeling competition, but I still want to know why you want to participate in the competition?"
The audience was silent, no one spoke.
"Well, please raise your hands to answer, or I will be very embarrassed."
"For extra points in the postgraduate entrance examination." Someone said.
"It is said that the award-winning school has scholarships!"
"My buddy wants to join me."
"We study this major and want to give it a try!"
"The teacher said there was a chance, so I signed up."
Answers came one after another.
Maybe it was too dark around, or she and Pei Zhi were still very close friends in her subconscious.
So she leaned directly to Pei Zhi's side and asked, "Is there any extra points for the postgraduate entrance examination?"
"It's not a bonus for the unified examination." Pei Zhi said
It wasn't until the boy's low and clear voice sounded that Lin Zhaoxi trembled and leaned back.
The lights were dim, and Pei Zhi replied seriously: "It depends on the policies of each school. If the awards are not high, it will be helpful for the re-examination. The instructor prefers students who have participated in the modeling competition and won awards."
"How high is the award?"
"If you get their awards, you can directly obtain the qualification for promotion in our school." Pei Zhi said.
"Baoyan?" Lin Zhaoxi looked at Pei Zhi in shock.
Pei Zhi thought it was funny: "You don't even know this?"
Lin Zhaoxi could only shake her head.
"Then why are you here?" he asked.
It started because of you...
Now it's because of Lao Lin...
Lin Zhaoxi looked at Pei Zhi, under the dim light, the boy's gaze was gentle and clear.
Facing Xie Ran, she could still make up nonsense, but facing Pei Zhi, she was suddenly at a loss for words.
She turned her head silently, covered half of her face, and said, "Let me think about it."
The responses in the lecture hall one after another gradually stopped.
The speaker laughed. I know the following line will make you feel awkward, but: "No matter why you come, it doesn't really matter, because the matter of 'coming to participate' is very important in itself."
"Participating in modeling competitions can cultivate your abilities in all aspects. You will learn to look up papers, learn to write papers, learn a scientific method, learn a lot of advanced scientific software, and learn from understanding problems to analyzing problems to solving problems. The whole process of…”
The speaker talked a lot, Lin Zhaoxi leaned back in her chair, it was really a subconscious move, she looked at Pei Zhi. Then he met Pei Zhi's questioning gaze, probably saying: "Have you thought about it?"
"I want to win." She thought for a while and replied.
The boy nodded.
On the podium, the speaker muttered to the manuscript paper for a while, then raised his head quietly, put down the manuscript paper suddenly, and looked at everyone: "This is the answer I extracted from the Internet, do you think it makes sense?"
The students in the venue were all shocked, they didn't expect this routine.
"But you want to know, why did my friends and I enter this competition?" asked the presenter.
He was a little laughing, but still serious: "Because we want to win the award we are getting now, the highest award of the organizing committee."
"Of course, there may be some logical problems in this. The goal of the competition should be to win the prize, not the reason for the competition. But for us, we participate in the competition to win the award, which is the reason for us to participate. We are not for the prize money or the guarantee of research places. Or some mentor's approval."
"Why?" Someone in the audience asked.
The speaker stood on the stage and pointed to the student who asked the question: "Because I used to stand off the stage and was asked by people on the stage why I came to participate in the competition."
"What did I say at the time?" The speaker looked at his partners in the audience.
"You're so disgusting that you express a whole lot of your love for mathematical modeling!" said the other two.
The speaker stood on the stage and laughed shamelessly.
But the venue was very quiet.
Then what
That's probably what everyone wants to ask.
Lin Zhaoxi suddenly looked at Pei Zhi, but Pei Zhi looked at the main stage.
"The big guy who was giving a lecture on the stage listened for a long time, and finally he said 'this is a competition'.
After he finished speaking, there was no other comment.
You feel it. I was facing a master who is very good at mathematics. After the master listened carefully to my expression, he finally said such a sentence, how aggrieved I felt.
After that I sat down and he talked about something else. At that time, I really wanted to stand up and say, 'what the fuck do you mean'.
In fact, I didn't listen to the whole lecture very well. Although he really spoke very well, I was just very angry.
But later, because I thought about how to refute him many times, my mind was full of how to spray back if I took the opportunity to seriously spray it back. Instead, I suddenly realized that people with simpler ideas are the scariest. "
Lin Zhaoxi lowered her eyes and looked at the notebook in front of her.
Speaker: "If it was me before, I would definitely explain to you repeatedly why he said that or why I entered the competition because I won the prize. But this is too brainwashing, and I still don't want our ideas to affect you.
But here I still want to say that a competition is a competition, and earnest participation in the final victory is the kingly way, and everything else is added value. If you regard the added value of other people's population as your purpose of participating in the competition, then you will easily relax. Please take the game seriously, focus a little bit and try to win, that's all I'm saying. "
Hearing this, Lin Zhaoxi must be a fool if she still can't guess who the master is mentioned by the speaker.
After all, for him, when faced with a mathematical problem, what he needs to do is to prove and find a solution; while participating in the modeling competition, what he needs to do is to produce the best entry paper.
And the criterion for evaluating the best and the worst is obviously the awards.
There are not many people who can see all problems as very simple and pure.
There were boos from the audience, and some students fell into deep thought.
The speaker was very indifferent. After all kinds of voices gradually subsided, he said: "I originally prepared a lot of content to introduce to you what mathematical modeling is. But two years ago, also in this lecture hall, I heard I gave the best speech on mathematical modeling, and now the keynote speaker is here. The most professional part should be handed over to the most professional people.”
The speaker's eyes cast their eyes, and Pei Zhi sat under the stage, feeling a little helpless.
"Please come on stage, I finally got my revenge." The speaker held up the microphone, smirked, and waved at them.
