Chapter 016 High School Math League
"My junior brother, it's easy to talk." Shen Qi nodded, and then asked all his teammates: "Why does Teacher Cao strongly prohibit us from using university knowledge to solve problems? For example, I have made the top-level big sword. Do you still use the lowest-level jungle knife to clear the wilderness? It's not very efficient."
Meng Tianqiang replied: "Didn't Teacher Cao say that using university knowledge to solve high school mathematics problems is equivalent to cheating."
"Then everyone uses university knowledge, and the standards are the same, so there is no such thing as cheating."
"Actually, we have read university mathematics textbooks more or less, and the depth varies. Shen Qi, you should know that not every high school student can understand more advanced and more professional mathematics knowledge as you can, including me. If you use a lot of ways beyond the scope of high school textbook knowledge to compete, it will be a critical damage to other high school students, at least 10,000 points."
"Okay, Team Meng, your logic is flawless."
Shen Qi asked again: "Why have Teacher Cao led him? Why have I never seen him?"
Meng Tianqiang: "Teacher Cao has been retired for several years and has been rehired to take us to compete in the competition team. He is an outstanding teacher in the country and is very famous in the industry."
"What does my class teacher Zhang Wanbang have to do with Teacher Cao?" Shen Qi was curious.
"It is said that when Teacher Zhang came to our school to be an intern teacher, he was Teacher Cao's apprentice. They were in the same group and worked together for many years."
"No wonder, Teacher Zhang and Old Man Cao have the same temper. Before teaching knowledge, I will first beat you up and then reason with you. By the way, did Old Man Cao go to smoke again? It's been more than ten minutes and I won't come back. I'm so addicted to smoking!" Shen Qi looked outside the door.
Meng Tianqiang said in accustomed to it: "He won't come back, let's learn by yourself here, and learn to disband at nine o'clock."
"The training method of our Maximum Competition Team is really self-study?" The day after tomorrow, it was the main competition of the Maximum League. Shen Qi thought there would be a round of attack intensive training tonight, but he didn't expect that the intensive training method would be group self-study.
Meng Tianqiang said: "Most of the situation is like this. If you have any questions, we will discuss it within the pioneers. If you encounter problems that all the players cannot overcome, then go to ask Teacher Cao. Isn't this the case for those who do mathematics, and you have become a self-taught talent."
"The discipline and management methods of the school's number competition team and the school's track and field team are really different." When Shen Qi passed by the playground today, he saw the school's track and field team practicing enthusiastically under the guidance of the coach. His good friend Xu Rui had cramps in his practice.
"We are men of brain power and are taking the high-end route. Can those savages in the track and field team compete with us?" Meng Tianqiang said proudly, which resonated with all his teammates.
"They call us weak chickens, let's see they are barbarians. I have a brother who is on the school track and field team. He can kill half of our competition team alone." Shen Qi told an objective fact.
"I'm afraid!"
"Super fearful!"
"The barbarians are the most fearful!"
The other team members trembled, so they read their own books and did their own questions.
...
"Shen Qi, what are you going to participate in? Mathematics League? There are so many leagues in mathematics. What kind of ghost leagues are there? What? Playing this breaking league well is expected to go to Tsinghua University? Is it natural for him to go to Tsinghua University? If the weak chicken goes to Tsinghua University, they are also weak chickens, senior weak chickens with diplomas! Shen Qi, play the mathematics league well for me, and I won't win the championship, I will chop your penis!" This is the WeChat message Xu Rui left to Shen Qi.
The language style is simple and crude, but Shen Qi felt the warmth.
In the past two months, Shen Qi's progress has been obvious to everyone.
Xu Rui accepted this fact. Since his good friend Shen Qi has ambitions and hard work, he hopes that his future will be bright and his studies will be gratifying.
"Shen Qijiang, come on, wait for your good news O(∩_∩)O~" This is the WeChat message sent to Shen Qi by Chen Xiaoting, and the language style is gentle and charming.
"As a math class representative, I don't have the chance to participate in the mathematics league on behalf of our class, but you did it. Shen Qi, help me make up for this regret. Class 2 depends on you. Don't let the people in Class 45678 look down on our Class 2." Huang Zikun, who was not far away, also sent a WeChat message to Shen Qi. Huang Zikun, who has always been arrogant, actually showed a hint of sourness in his words.
Zhang Wanbang didn't say a word to Shen Qi before the game, and he didn't even see him.
But Shen Qi knew that the person who cares about him the most might be Zhang Wanbang.
And the person who understands you best, Teacher Zhang may be ranked first.
Sunday, May 17.
Shen Qi was wearing the school uniform of Nangang No. 2 Middle School, student ID, competition certificate, and pen ruler, and a schoolbag. He sat in the passenger seat and operated his phone and replied to several classmates one by one.
The car is a black Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Although it looks 70% to 80% new after driving for a few years, the driver Shen Zhishan stopped on the road and waited for the red light: "Shen Qi, after you left, you have been playing with your phone. Is it too nervous or too relaxed?"
"The students are all very concerned about my participation in the Digital Coupons. I am thanking everyone for their support. It is too relaxed, not too nervous, not keeping a normal mind." Shen Qi sent the last text message and put away his phone.
"It's very good to be able to keep a normal mind." Shen Zhishan opened the skylight and came in with a little air. "Shen Qi, I see your recent progress and hard-working attitude towards learning. Let's open the skylight and speak loudly. What are your goals in the future?"
“Study in a university.”
"Which university do you want to go to?"
Shen Qi looked up at the early morning sky through the skylight. The weather was good today: "I like universities with good names, such as Tsinghua University, Fudan University, Tongji, Yixian, etc."
"Each university with good names is all famous schools with great ambitions. But if you rely solely on mathematics, it is difficult to get into these good-sounding famous schools, right?" Shen Zhishan asked.
Shen Qi: "I hope that the Digital Union will win a big prize this time and strive for the special recruitment of leading talents in the professional fields of famous schools. The famous schools with good names I just mentioned are very famous in mathematics departments. More than half of the fresh graduates who entered their mathematics department are special recruitment, which is what Teacher Zhang said. Of course, we cannot give up the path of the college entrance examination, but this is the way out. In short, the competition, both hands must be strong when you grasp the college entrance examination."
"You are more close to Teacher Zhang than me," Shen Zhishan smiled and said, "Yes, your plan is more reasonable and rational, but your mother hopes you can study medicine."
Shen Qi asked back without answering: "What about you, what do you want me to learn?"
"I wanted you to go to a military academy before, but your personality is not suitable for taking the military path. Let's walk your own path by yourself, choose your own life by yourself, and all I can do is prepare your tuition fees for you, and you will decide where to go in a year."
"Long live your understanding. Dad, you don't have to drive me. It will take only ten minutes for me to ride to school."
"Today is a new starting point in your life. I must send you to the Digital League Competition myself. There is no way, this is father's love."
"Dad, I mean, you drive slowly than I ride. This intersection has been blocked for 10 minutes. I waited for seven rounds after the red light and couldn't pass... I'm going to be late!"
Finally, Shen Zhishan drove through the most congested intersection, and Shen Qi got off at the entrance of Nangang No. 2 Middle School.
A bus was parked at the school gate, and the captain of the competition team, Meng Tianqiang, looked anxiously under the car.
Meng Tianqiang discovered Shen Qi, and he waved and shouted: "Shen Qi, get in the car!"
Shen Qi ran to the front door of the bus for a while and got on the bus with Meng Tianqiang.
"Sorry, Teacher Cao, I've been waiting for a long time." After getting in the car, Shen Qi said apologetically to Cao Xinan, who was sitting in the front row.
Cao Xin'an asked expressionlessly: "Did you bring the student ID?"
"Take it with me." Shen Qi took out his student ID and showed it to Cao Xin'an.
Cao Xin'an spread his right hand and said, "Switch off your phone, give it to me, and then go to the back to find a seat."
Shen Qi took out his cell phone, turned it off, and handed it over to Cao Xinan for security, and then went to the back of the car to find a seat to sit down.
The bus started and headed south.
There were more than a dozen people in the car, drivers, Cao Xin'an and all members of the Nangang No. 2 Middle School Digital Competition Team.
Cao Xin'an is the leader of this team. Today he will lead the team to launch an attack on the annual provincial high school mathematics league.
Last year, it was also a team led by Cao Xin'an. The results were poor, and there were only two first prizes, but no one on the provincial team line was on the provincial team.
The year before yesterday was even worse, with 0 first prizes and only 3 second prizes.
The most proud record of Cao Xin'an dates back to eight years ago, when he had not retired and taught at Nangang No. 2 Middle School.
The team members of that class were full of talents, and they all won first prizes, half of which were on the provincial team. The best Wizards were finally selected for the national team of the Mathematical Olympiad that year. He represented China in the United States to participate in the IMO gold medal and was admitted to Tsinghua University. He is now studying at Trinity College, Cambridge, England, and is pursuing a doctorate degree.
For eight years, the overall mathematical level of Nangang No. 2 Middle School has gone from prosperity to decline, which made Cao Xinan very unwilling. He was rehired when he was rehired in the stable and had only one wish, and he could send another student to the national team before he died.
However, the overall competitive level of this year's digital competition team cannot satisfy Cao Xinan. He is 64 years old and can't work for a few years.
The only thing that made Cao Xinan feel a little relieved was the captain Meng Tianqiang.
Meng Tianqiang won the first prize in the Digital League when he was in his second year of high school last year, but at most he was the first prize in the province, so it was difficult to go to the provincial team line.
"Do you really want me to last until I'm 70? I don't know if I can live until I'm 70." Cao Xinan felt helpless. He was not afraid of death, but his fear was that his students would not be successful.
