Cen Huaian turned around and saw a contestant from Country E.
He nodded, agreeing with the contestant, and added in English: "My country is beautiful, too."
The contestant from Country E said: "I know. My grandfather told me that he had been to China before."
The contestant from Country E was very proud of his grandfather. His grandfather was a scientist who went to China to work on aid projects.
“It’s a pity that the project was never completed.”
Cen Huaian had studied history and knew what the E-country contestant was talking about. He also knew why it was not completed. He said, "The past is history."
There will be regrets, but in front of the country, these things are bound to happen.
The contestant from Country E leaned his arm on the railing and talked to Cen Huaian about this year's IMO exam: "I've seen you before. You participated in the IMO competition last year and got full marks."
Cen Huaian was not surprised. The competition was recorded and it was normal for other players to see it. He nodded.
"You're great, but I'm not bad either! We'll be number one this year!"
Cen Huaian glanced at him calmly, his expression calm: "I wish you good luck."
"Don't you want your country to be number one in a row?"
The contestant from Country E was surprised by Cen Huaian's calmness. Cen Huaian turned around and walked back and said, "So I'm going to go back and do some more questions."
Cen Huaian had no intention of giving up the first place. Hang Ling was still the team leader this year, and he would not allow the Chinese players to perform worse than before.
The results of this IMO were even more impressive than last year's, with all six Chinese contestants scoring full marks.
On the day of the awards ceremony, the contestant from Country E did not know who he had swapped seats with, and sat next to Cen Huaian. Upon hearing the result, he looked at Cen Huaian and his group in shock: "You guys are awesome!"
Cen Huaian only showed a smile in his eyes at this time, and said without modesty: "Huaguo has always been awesome."
After saying that, he stood up and went on stage to receive the award with his teammates.
Unsurprisingly, China also ranked first in the IMO total score and won first place in this IMO competition.
On the way back, Tang Song and Cen Huaian sat together. Everyone had a gold medal on their chest. He looked at his gold medal and said, "Huaian, I'm very happy that I can get full marks."
Tang Song was the weakest among the six team members. After he was sure that he could participate in IMO, he was most afraid that he would hold back his teammates, so he devoted most of his energy to studying Olympiad mathematics during the critical period of review.
Cen Huaian looked at him with some respect in his eyes. He admired people who set goals and could execute them firmly until they succeeded.
Section 263
"You deserve it." His tone was sincere. Tang Song was stunned for a moment, then a relaxed smile appeared on his face.
"I don't need to be unconfident about myself anymore as I can get your genuine praise."
At this time, the college entrance examination in Beijing is different from that in Liangzhou. However, the policies for filling out college entrance examination applications vary across the country, so Chuxia didn't make a fuss.
Cen Huaian only filled out one application, which was the Semiconductor Major in the Radio Department of Jinghua University.
Chuxia did not interfere with his choice of major. She just saw that he had filled in one and asked him if he wanted to fill in another as a backup.
Chu Xia only wanted to go to a traditional Chinese medicine university, so she didn't fill in more information. But when she met Cen Huaian, she became like other ordinary parents and worried about his aspirations.
