After Zhou Xiu received the gold medal scholarship, Xu Qing followed and went on stage to receive the scholarship from the principal.
After Xu Qing took the stage, he caused quite a stir. When he stood on the stage and talked about the "learning method of biological competition", many female students were fascinated.
"Unexpectedly, senior Xu Qing is also a gold medal."
"Xu Qing's grades have always been very good, stable in the top ten of the grade. How come I didn't realize that he is so good-looking before, and his smile is so warm! There are so many handsome guys in class 24, especially the roll call monitor!"
"Don't even think about it, how can an unattractive person become the image ambassador of the school?"
On the admissions profile, there was a picture of Xu Qing wearing a school uniform, with delicate and clean eyebrows, holding a sign saying "Welcome to Yude", and smiling like the warm sunshine. Because of his photo, this enrollment profile has been kept by many high school students.
Zhou Xiu was very happy to receive the scholarship. She even nodded without hesitation when the principal jokingly encouraged her.
After stepping off the flag-raising platform, the principal said to Zhou Xiu: "Mathematics competitions should work hard just like biology competitions, and strive to win the first place."
"Well, I will try my best!"
system:[…]
This swells.
[Young man, I didn't hit you. At your current level, the possibility of winning the first place is very low.]
Although it set a reward of 26W RMB for the first place in the league, it did not have much expectation.
Leaving aside the national competition where many players gather, Zhou Xiu's ability to pass the No. 4 High School student masters in the provincial competition is still a question mark. China is a powerful country in mathematics, and the top gold medalists in China are at the leading level even in the world.
Zhou Xiu lowered her head and smiled, [I know. Take it step by step, no rush.]
Food should be eaten bite by bite, and things should be done little by little. Zhou Xiu's math competition started late, and although she had improved her foundation in the past year, she still couldn't change her disadvantage in math competition.
Zhou Xiu's straightforward reply put the principal in a very good mood.
I thought that the best result Yude could get this time would be the gold medal. Before the results came out, the school even had people print the hanging banners in advance, so they had to take them out and hang them up.
On the day when the results were announced, the banners printed in advance would naturally be useless. All Yude teachers and students are immersed in the pride and joy brought by Zhou Xiu.
The school website scrolled through this good news that day, and the big picture in the center of the homepage was replaced with a group photo of two Yude students at the competition site, and the number of views suddenly increased dramatically.
At the same time, Yude Middle School was a topic that frequently appeared in the city at the beginning of junior high school, and the office of the Academic Affairs Office received many consultation calls from parents.
It is hard to imagine how glorious it would be to hang the banner of the double national award and the first overall score at the school gate. Yude has not had the double national award for many years.
Not only Yude Middle School, but even Key No. 1 Middle School, which ranks second in strength in the city, doesn't have the honor of Double National Gold. The headmaster didn't just smile from ear to ear.
Thinking of the grand enrollment of students next fall, the 200,000 yuan scholarship, the school board did not feel distressed at all.
…
After the flag-raising rally, Zhou Xiu ran into Lao Wang on his way back to his classroom.
Lao Wang put his hands behind his back and said, "The preparation was good, and I won the gold medal in the competition."
Compared with the gold medals that have been missing for many years in the biology group, there will be at least one gold medal in each session of Lao Wang's belt, and Lao Wang is not so rare about gold medals.
He has always disliked Zhou Xiu's "doing nothing" to engage in biology.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiu's "not doing business properly" won the first place in the country, which made Lao Wang both pleasantly surprised and disappointed:
Imagine how glorious the scene would be if Zhou Xiu got the first place in the country in mathematics.
But Zhou Xiu would not focus on mathematics. When Lao Wang knew that Zhou Xiu won the first place in the total score, he knew in his heart that if it came to the day when he had to make a choice, Zhou Xiu would probably give up the mathematics competition.
However, during the flag-raising rally, she said that she would spend her whole life loving mathematics!
Old Wang said to Zhou Xiu with disgust: "Since you said you like mathematics, then... get ready."
He emphasized with a straight face, "Don't be late for the math class in the afternoon."
Zhou Xiu nodded, "OK."
Math competition class.
Zhou Xiu came to the multimedia classroom on time for math class.
Math competitions are a long tug-of-war of stamina and psychology. As this year's students enter the third year of senior high school, the pressure of reviewing and studying abroad to prepare for the exam continues to increase. Many students have silently given up the math competition.
There were many empty seats in the crowded multimedia classroom.
Those silent vacancies represent the students who gave up halfway.
The National Biology Competition caused Zhou Xiu to miss two classes. Zhou Xiu missed three more weekend classes for the "Intellectual Contest" competition. Finally, Zhou Xiu only took three math classes last month.
After paying the training fee but not attending the class, Zhou Xiu felt sorry for the wasted money for the first time.
When Zhou Xiu walked into the classroom, dozens of eyes fell on her.
These eyes from the best students in the grade are full of complex emotions: surprise, envy, even admiration, sweeping away previous doubts and ridicules.
Some students whispered, "Why is Xiushen so good?"
It's not that Yude has won gold medals over the years, but the best result is the national training team, which was not in the top ten. But Zhou Xiu did it.
This girl who has been controversial transfer students since she entered school, and even criticized because of her poor family, she did it and rushed to the first place.
Qi Yaguang said: "Do you know Zhou Xiu's live broadcast room? She studies very hard in private, and her learning method is also very good. It is worth watching."
When he said this, Qi Yaguang almost forgot some things in the past. Obviously at the beginning, she was the most resistant to Zhou Xiu, a bookworm who only knew about hard work and "deadly studying", but now she is practicing it personally.
Hard work and diligence are not something to be ashamed of.
After the results of the Biology National Competition were announced, some media reporters wanted to interview Zhou Xiu, but Zhou Xiu refused. In the forums of major schools in the province, and even the forum post bars of major middle schools across the country, whenever Zhou Xiu is mentioned, they will talk about Zhou Xiu and call her "Xiu Shen" affectionately.
This is the real fight to fame.
This is the respect and affirmation that even "Intellectual Confrontation" cannot give to a student.
Zhang Qi waved enthusiastically, "Xiuxiu, come and sit here, come here!"
Even if Zhou Xiu wanted to ignore Zhang Qi, she couldn't. She bit the bullet and sat next to Zhang Qi.
Holding the notebook, Zhang Qi said quickly with a shy face, "Zhou Xiu, let's exchange notes!"
Zhang Qi got Zhou Xiu's notebook, and couldn't wait to open it to take a look. Seeing the densely deduced and demonstrated formulas and theorems, his eyes immediately turned into mosquito-repellent eyes.
"Xiuxiu, what is this?"
Zhou Xiu said, "Isn't it written on it?"
"Fermat's Lemma, Fermat's Last Theorem, Fermat's Little Theorem..." Zhang Qi murmured. The thick draft paper was full of derivations and demonstrations of these formulas and theorems. Are you doing these things?"
Although Lao Wang often encourages students to use the knowledge they have learned to derive some simple theorems, not many students are willing to waste this time.
Zhang Qi does not know how to derive them, but it does not prevent him from using these formulas and theorems. But Zhou Xiu has the patience to prove them one by one, which makes Zhang Qi faintly admire.
"Not recently." Zhou Xiu has been deriving and demonstrating formulas and theorems for almost half a year.
She took out another notebook from her schoolbag, "Here, these are the notes."
After Zhou Xiu sat down, she realized that the seat next to Zhang Qi was also empty, and it was Xi Shaoyuan's fixed seat.
She looked up at the clock in the middle of the classroom, it was almost time for class.
When the class bell rang, Lao Wang meticulously explained the knowledge points of the competition. As soon as he finished writing on the blackboard, the top students immediately finished their notes. A class ends soon.
After class, Zhou Xiu asked Zhang Qi: "Didn't Young Master Xi come to attend class?"
Zhang Qi raised his eyebrows, looked at the position beside him, then looked at Xie Cheng opposite, and asked him about the situation with his eyes.
Xie Cheng turned his pen around and said concisely: "It will come."
A few girls in the front, back, left, and left chirped and said, "Recently, Young Master Yuan often misses classes, and the frequency of attending classes is comparable to that of Xiuxiu when she took the biology exam, but Lao Wang didn't pursue it."
"He should come to attend half a class."
Xie Cheng casually handed a test paper to Zhang Qi, Zhang Qi took it and browsed through the questions, his eyes turned into mosquito-repellent eyes again in seconds, he immediately knew that this test paper was not written for him.
Zhang Qi handed the test paper to Zhou Xiu depressedly, "Xiu Xiu, do you want to see?"
"I find it quite interesting."
Zhou Xiu got the test paper and glanced at it. The difficulty was similar to some IMO mock questions that Gu Mingxi sent her, but it was very interesting.
Xie Cheng's performance in the winter camp last year was very good. He won the gold medal and ranked very high. Later, when he was selected for the national team, he lost the selection with a very small gap.
Gu Mingxi, who competed in the same year as Xie Cheng, would occasionally mention Xie Cheng to her when he was writing test papers with Zhou Xiu online.
Zhou Xiu looked at the test paper and thought about the solution to the problem. She got stuck halfway, so she took a picture of the problem with her mobile phone and sent it to Gu Mingxi.
After Zhou Xiu finished writing a question, the class bell rang soon. She put the test paper aside and began to concentrate on listening to the class.
In the second half of the big class, Xi Shaoyuan came to the classroom as Xie Cheng said.
"Yuan Shao, here are the test papers from last class and the homework assigned by the teacher for next week, you write it down."
Zhang Qi said and handed a stack of test papers to Xi Shaoyuan.
A few test papers contained the IMO mock questions that Xie Cheng gave to Xi Shaoyuan. After turning the water-based pen, Xi Shaoyuan quickly entered the state of thinking, propped his chin, and leisurely took a break to write the questions in Lao Wang's class.
Old Wang's attitude towards Xi Shaoyuan was unexpectedly kind, not only did he not blame him for being late for absenteeism, but he passed by his side several times, neither stern nor angry, and let him do his own thing casually.
This kind of treatment is far inferior to that of Zhou Xiu, who is jokingly called Lao Wang's darling.
The bell for the evening self-study in the third year of senior high school rang, and the math training class ended.
The top students in the classroom stood up, and there was a clattering sound of chairs turning upside down in the multimedia classroom, which was crisp, loud and uniform.
The top students in the third year of high school raced against the clock, hurriedly packed their schoolbags and went back to the classroom for evening self-study.
Zhou Xiu put the test papers scattered on the table into her schoolbag, and returned to Class 24 for evening self-study.
Evening self-study.
Zhou Xiu remembered the very interesting math test paper that Xie Cheng gave, she took out her mobile phone and looked at it, Gu Mingxi replied: "Wait a while, I'm writing."
Zhou Xiu turned on the live broadcast, intending to continue working on that math test paper. However, just as she opened the test paper, she suddenly froze.
This is not her test paper.
I saw that the test paper was full of messy numbers, some areas were completely blank, and some were filled. The flying messy handwriting did not affect the fluency of the answer. The few questions that were solved on the test paper happened to be the ones that Zhou Xiu was stuck on and didn't think of.
Zhou Xiu briefly glanced at the process of answering these questions, and her mind was instantly opened.
She tried to solve it in another way.
After a while, the domineering member's red letter in the live broadcast room was fixed in the center for a few seconds, "Try hard to IMO" and said: "This solution is very good, and it is more convenient than the method I thought."
After making up these few questions, Zhou Xiu turned over the back of the test paper and found an arrogant word "original".
