"It's so close", almost ranked second on Lin Zhaoxi's most unacceptable consolation list.
The first place is of course "already very good", if it is said by Pei Zhi, then the lethality will be doubled.
In fact, when it comes to statistics and big data, there will definitely be errors. But Lin Zhaoxi thought that neither she nor Lao Lin, who was about to be in a car accident, could accept such an error.
But she wasn't depressed.
If it's not good enough, then make it better, it's a simple truth.

After the rain cools down, winter is officially here.
On Monday, Lin Zhaoxi got the news that Pei Zhi asked for leave.
Although Pei Zhi's classmate is a schoolboy, he is not the type who is difficult to get close to. On the contrary, he is very popular. So he asked for a long vacation. Everyone was surprised and asked everywhere what happened.
One morning, Lin Zhaoxi received a lot of students who came to ask "what happened to Pei Zhi".
Her excuse has changed from "I don't know either" to "I don't know Pei Zhi very well", because the latter obviously has a kind of indifference that rejects people thousands of miles away.
but…
The twittering middle school boys and girls obviously wouldn't let her go easily because of her depth.
"Aren't you and Peizhi..."
"Zhang Ming said that you have been together since junior high school."
"Yes, let's study together, do you have any questions?" Lin Zhaoxi replied.
"Bah." The girl from class 2 behind laughed and complained about her.
They were sitting in the school hall as all the students prepared for the school's quarterly assembly. Lin Zhaoxi was so disturbed that she had no reason to drive her away.
At this moment, a "cough" reminder came from behind her.
The high school students were startled, and found that the vice-principal had come behind them at some point, and they all turned their heads and sat upright.
Lin Zhaoxi withdrew her gaze and was about to lower her head to read a book when she heard the vice principal call her name.
"Lin Zhaoxi."
The vice principal seemed to have something to say, but Lin Zhaoxi subconsciously said, "Principal Gao, I really don't know about Pei Zhi."
"..." Principal Gao was speechless, "I didn't ask you this, just to inform you, when the next grade meeting is over, don't rush to leave, I have something to ask you."
—
Anyway, after telling the vice-principal in public that she didn't want to talk about Pei Zhi's affairs, no classmates came to ask her "what's the matter with Pei Zhi".
Year Assembly is an old-fashioned process.
Mobilize the senior high school students first, and then use the examples of the senior high school students to encourage the younger students in the first and second grades to continue to study hard.
"The next item on the agenda is the report on the city's unified examination in the first quarter of the first grade."
Principal Gao pushed his glasses in front of the rostrum, and a ppt appeared on the big screen in the auditorium, on which were various indicators of the unified entrance examination for the first term of high school in Anning City.
The mid-term includes the average score of each subject in the Gaoyi Unified Examination and the city's ranking.
From the graph, it can be seen that the average score of Anning Experimental High School is much higher than the city average score, and the ranking is one, one, one...
The chart is very clear, but the school leaders still have to emphatically emphasize the various achievements they have achieved: "In this unified examination, our school's scores in all subjects are ranked first in the city, especially the average score of mathematics, which is 15% higher than the city's average score. That's a lot!"
Principal Gao emphasized the end, paused, and then said: "This is the result of the joint efforts of all our teachers and students in the first year of high school. Here I hope everyone applauds for myself, and make persistent efforts to achieve better results."
There was thunderous applause in the auditorium, and the students in the first year of high school were praised, and they were elated, and the applause was especially intense.
Principal Gao waited for a while, and the venue gradually became quiet. He pressed the remote control in his hand, and the ppt was changed.
There was a sound of breathing around, and Lin Zhaoxi was reading with her head down, when she was suddenly pushed by the girl next to her: "Look, look, look."
She looked up, then a little shocked.
On the curtain of the auditorium, two huge 2-inch photos with big heads and white shirts on a blue background appeared, which were the uniform standard photos for admission. Because it is projected on the screen, it looks extraordinarily huge.
One of the photos is of Pei Zhi, and the other—
is her.
Lin Zhaoxi swallowed, and suddenly the mugshot of her and Pei Zhi was placed in front of all the teachers and students in the school, which was very shocking.
"How can you not respond at all!" The girl next to her pushed her again.
"What kind of reaction do you want? It's an honor for Pei Zhi to appear on the ppt with me."
Lin Zhaoxi thinks my heartbeat is 160 and I can’t let you know, Brother Pei’s ID photo is so handsome, it’s scary...
Sure enough, she was beaten by the girl next to her.
Principal Gao spoke loudly on the rostrum: "While everyone has achieved excellent results, I would also like to commend two students in the first year of high school."
He turned around and looked at the curtain: "They are Lin Zhaoxi from Class One (1) and Pei Zhi from Class One (2). Enthusiastic applause to encourage these two students."
The auditorium was quiet at first, and then there was the sound of breathing, and the sound of "fucking shit". A curious student began to look left and right to find someone, and the classmate punched her on the back a few times.
Surrounded by clattering applause, Lin Zhaoxi remembered that there was such a grade meeting before the end of junior high school, when Pei Zhi was the first and she was the second.
Now they got the same score by coincidence, which is unbelievable.
Lin Zhaoxi carefully looked at the specific results under their photos.
Pei Zhi got full marks in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry in a very inhuman way. Relying on her high scores in English and politics, she forcibly got the same high score as Brother Pei.
After all, she has time-traveling buffs, and she was once a top student in the philosophy department, so her poor grades in these two subjects are unjustifiable.
"Then, next, let's invite Lin Zhaoxi to the stage and briefly introduce her learning experience to everyone." Vice President Gao said.
The audience was silent for a moment, and many students were looking at her.
Lin Zhaoxi raised her head and twirled her pen. The classmates had already stepped aside. She stood up, was forced to leave her seat, and walked towards the rostrum.
The first grader sits at the end of the auditorium, and the road ahead is narrow and long.
She walked up to the rostrum, took the microphone, and was completely silent.
There are many young and immature faces in the audience. Some people are suspicious and disdainful, while others are envious and longing.
At the grade meeting before the end of junior high school, what Pei Zhi saw was probably the same scene. What did he say at that time, it seemed to be a very short sentence "I hope to work hard with everyone".
And then offstage, cool as hell.
So, what is she going to say now
Lin Zhaoxi rubbed the microphone, and there was a little commotion in the audience because of her long silence.
"I actually don't have any special learning experience."
Lin Zhaoxi heard her own voice rumbling through the speakers in the auditorium.
"The methods of learning are those. The teacher talks about it every day, and you can find a lot on the Internet. Just choose the one that suits you."
Principal Gao interjected: "Then, does student Lin Zhaoxi have any special learning methods, for example, how to overcome the difficulties in learning?"
"It's difficult..." Lin Zhaoxi thought about it carefully, "I think the most difficult thing is to turn what others do into something you do. And this is too difficult, it's normal not to be able to do it."
There was a sigh at the bottom, Lin Zhaoxi heard her own voice, and she smiled: "So it's okay, don't be afraid. Let's go on like this, maybe one day, when we reach a certain moment in our life, we suddenly feel as if we can no longer This continues. Then congratulations, do the person and thing you want to do, no matter when you start working hard, it’s never too late.”
After she finished speaking, she bowed and stepped down.
After she stepped off the stage and took her seat, the auditorium gradually heard voices.
At the beginning, it was noisy, and then it turned into words like "I rely on" and "Fuck".
Finally, the girl who was close to her pinched her face with both hands, and grinned: "You have the guts to mock thousands of people in the whole school on stage!"
Lin Zhaoxi stared wide-eyed, how could her sincere chicken soup turn into a sarcasm.
"'It's normal if you can't do it'... You can see that our teacher Ban Mei's face is dark." The girl laughed.

Anning Experimental Middle School, Vice Principal's Office.
After the grade meeting, Lin Zhaoxi stayed behind and was brought here.
She was sitting on a row of wooden sofas for reception, the vice principal was sitting beside her, and opposite her were two middle-aged men and women whom she did not know at all.
The lady looked at her for a long time, and then slowly said: "Student Lin Zhaoxi's speech on stage is very interesting."
The man also smiled: "How do you say there is a word called 'pretentious'?" He paused, "It was said by the kid under you, but in my opinion, it is very wise and has a lot of life experience."
The middle-aged man obviously had great conversation skills and wanted to get her to talk. Lin Zhaoxi put her hands on her lap, tilted her head slightly, and said nothing.
The man was a little embarrassed, and then the lady said, "It's like this. We are teachers from the Department of Educational Psychology of Yongchuan University. My name is Li Ran. This is my partner, Professor Tian Weizhong."
"Hi, professors."
"We have been doing long-term follow-up research related to the growth of students. We are very interested in your growth experience and future, and would like to ask if you are interested in joining our project as a research object."
Lin Zhaoxi breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now when she walked into the office and saw these two middle-aged men and women who were about the same age as Lao Lin, her mind was blown for a moment, thinking it was some kind of confession plot...
Professor Tian Weizhong took out a thick document from his briefcase, Lin Zhaoxi bowed his head, the top one was a personal information form, and handed over a pen.
"Here are some tests, I hope you can fill them out truthfully without psychological pressure."
Lin Zhaoxi lowered her head, opened the first page, and read it.
If she was just an average high school student, she would probably be very interested in the questions on the test, which were a lot of graphical reasoning questions.
But after all, she was a normal student and also studied educational psychology. After reading a page, she was sure that it was the Raven Reasoning Test, a type of IQ test.
Reminiscent of the time when Principal Gao looked for her, and the process of announcing the results of the unified examination today, he looked at Principal Gao and asked directly, "Am I here for Pei Zhi?"
The office fell silent, and the two professors, together with Vice President Gao, looked at her in surprise.
Professor Li Ran responded quickly: "Why do you say that?"
"First of all, this is an intelligence test. Secondly, the two professors came together, obviously attaching great importance to this research project. There are students who are extremely worthy of attention related to intelligence. I can't think of anyone else except Pei Zhi." Lin Zhaoxi paused, "Then why am I here, or is it because Pei Zhi asked for leave, and you all came here, and my unified examination results are tied with him, so it's okay to study me?"
Professor Li: "..."
Professor Tian: "..."
Principal Gao: "..."
Several teachers in the office were silent for a long time, Lin Zhaoxi smiled: "Don't be nervous, it's okay to be guessed."
Professor Tian clearly showed the expression of "we're nervous ass", he cleared his throat: "Well, your guess is actually not bad, we are conducting a long-term follow-up study on superintelligent students, Pei Zhi is our determined object of study."
Lin Zhaoxi nodded, and then, she heard Professor Tian say: "But we want to choose you, not because Pei Zhi asked for leave, but because he guessed what we were doing just like you, and then rejected us."
