"Everyone should know each other, right, Su Chen is the last person in our school to participate in the math competition." Zhang Wenbo said to a group of students in the car with a smile.
"Great, I didn't expect to have the opportunity to compete with the male god."
"I've heard that the male god is also a top student, but I didn't expect him to be so good at mathematics!"
"God, come and sit with me."
"Sit here, I'm near the front, so I won't get motion sickness."
"..."
Several girls were very excited, and two more outgoing and bold girls smiled and waved for Su Chen to sit together.
The boys looked at it with envy and jealousy in their hearts, and they were secretly black-bellied. Su Chen already has a girlfriend, why are you so excited!
Most of the boys who are good at mathematics, physics and chemistry are not good at flirting with girls, so the boys in the car are basically single dogs.
"Thank you, seniors, I will sit with Professor Zhang." Su Chen thanked with a smile, and then sat in the front row with Zhang Wenbo.
The girls had expressions of regret on their faces.
"Master Guo, everyone is here and we can start." Zhang Wenbo said to the driver uncle.
"okay!"
The uncle driver started the bus skillfully and headed for the competition venue all the way.
This national college student mathematics competition is divided into two stages: the preliminary round and the semi-final round. The location of the preliminary round in the Modu area is set at the Modu Teachers College, which is about two hours' drive from the Modu University.
On the way, Zhang Wenbo introduced the participating members to Su Chen one by one.
Including him, there are a total of fifteen members, except that he and another petite girl are sophomores, and the others are seniors and seniors from the mathematics department.
Following Zhang Wenbo's introduction, Su Chen also nodded politely to these seniors and sisters with a smile.
"This is Hua Fei, a senior in the Department of Mathematics."
Finally, Professor Zhang introduced a young man who was sitting in the back row.
The young man was handsome, with delicate eyes, sitting there with arms folded, he had the air of a high-spirited student.
"Hi senior, I have known you for a long time." Su Chen greeted with a smile.
Because of his outstanding appearance and being a top student in the Department of Mathematics, Hua Fei is also a very popular school girl in Shanghai University. Su Chen has also heard of such a number one person occasionally.
Of course, it is absolutely impossible to say that he has admired his name for a long time, but he just knows that there is such a person. If Professor Zhang hadn't mentioned it a few days ago, he would not have known the name Hua Fei.
Hua Fei's expression was cold, and he nodded in a neutral manner, which was regarded as a response.
Su Chen frowned slightly in doubt. He hasn't provoked this guy before, so why does he feel a little hostile towards him
He didn't know that Hua Fei originally wanted to recommend a girl he liked to Professor Zhang, but he learned that the last place for the competition was given to Su Chen.
What made Hua Fei even more aggrieved was that when the girl learned that it was Su Chen who was going to compete, she exclaimed like a little girl, and then gave up on her own initiative.
Therefore, he naturally didn't have a good impression of Su Chen, but because of Su Chen's great reputation for even personally apologizing to Shen Tianze, he didn't dare to find fault.
"Students, our Shanghai University has not achieved any good results in mathematics competitions in the past few years. This time I will lead the team and you have to work harder. I can't afford to lose my old face." Zhang Wenbo turned his head and smiled. said the students.
"Professor Zhang, we will definitely do our best."
"I'm just worried that the paper is too difficult."
"I don't have much confidence, I hope I can enter the semi-finals!"
"There are more than 1,000 people in the preliminary round. It seems that there are only 100 places in the rematch in Shanghai. The probability is less than 1%. The difficulty is too high."
"..."
There was already a look of disbelief on someone's face.
"Don't be discouraged. You have to remember that you are a student of Shanghai University. Your starting point is above the students of other schools. You are still the students taught by Zhang Wenbo. You have a little confidence in yourself." Zhang Wenbo shouted in a deep voice.
A group of students nodded after hearing the words, and their eyes became much firmer.
"Hua Fei, Su Chen, there should be no problem for the two of you to enter the semi-finals, but you must do your best and don't be careless." Zhang Wenbo instructed Su Chen and the two of them.
"Understood." Su Chen nodded in response.
Hua Fei also nodded, and glanced at Su Chen suspiciously.
He knows that Su Chen can write and sing songs, play basketball, and is also very skilled. He seems to be omnipotent, but academics are nothing else. Talent and hard work are indispensable.
He didn't believe that while Su Chen was proficient in so many talents, he could also delve into mathematics.
He was quite displeased with Zhang Wenbo's tone of putting Su Chen on the same level as him.
However, at this moment, he saw Zhang Wenbo pat Su Chen on the shoulder again, and said earnestly, "Especially Su Chen, you are definitely capable of being on the same level as Nan Xiaoran from Huaqing and Ning Chang from North China. For those who are higher, don't make trouble, I will set a minimum goal for you, and you must be in the top five!"
Hearing Zhang Wenbo's words, Hua Fei and the other students had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Nan Xiaoran from Huaqing and Ning Chang from North China are well-known genius figures of the younger generation in the mathematics world. The former has published articles in world-renowned mathematics journals, and the latter has won countless mathematics competitions since he was a child. champion.
Zhang Wenbo meant that Su Chen's talent in mathematics could be compared with such a genius
Everyone's first reaction was disbelief.
However, the few girls who admired Su Chen couldn't help but choose to believe Su Chen when they thought of the various amazing deeds of Su Chen during this period.
Hua Fei and the boys who were jealous of Su Chen didn't believe Zhang Wenbo's words at all.
"Professor Zhang, this is a difficult situation for you. I don't specialize in mathematics. There are so many geniuses in the country. I can't guarantee that I will be in the top five." Su Chen said with a bitter face.
He didn't mean to be humble, he just told the truth.
Now his math skills are indeed at an advanced level, and he is already equivalent to a genius among his peers.
But China has a vast land and abundant resources, and there are countless geniuses. Don't you see that every year there are many news about young geniuses being specially recruited by a certain famous university.
He has only cheated for a few months, but these geniuses are born with cheats.
"I don't care. Others don't know your strength. I don't know. Anyway, if you don't make it into the top ten, I will let you talk about all the lessons I teach in your class." Zhang Wenbo said unreasonably.
Seeing Professor Zhang, who is very authoritative in the Chinese mathematics field, threatening Su Chen like an old man, the students in the car looked at each other in blank dismay, beyond shock.
Su Chen looked at the old man speechlessly, and smiled wryly in his heart. This is an unreasonable and weird old man, who doesn't have the air that a mathematics master should have. .
He didn't know that Zhang Wenbo was also forced.
Young math geniuses like Nan Xiaoran and Ning Chang are the favorite students of some of his old friends.
Every year, these old friends would take time to get together, and those old fellows would often brag in front of him. Now that they finally found such an opportunity, they naturally wanted to win back their breath.
