Chapter 139 Return in triumph

In response to Qiao Yu's question, there was a brief silence in the conference room.

In the end, everyone's eyes, including Secretary-General Christine's, fell on Melvin Smith.

After all, this professor had talked with Qiao Yu about some content before and was relatively familiar with it.

In fact, the chairman and steering committee of this IMO are still ambiguous about whether Qiao Yu can participate.

Some people think that allowing Qiao Yu to participate is obviously unfair to other players.

Some people also think that as long as there are no violations, Qiao Yu's participation can make this IMO a legend.

But no matter what their thoughts are, everyone neither wants to offend Qiao Yu nor the China behind Qiao Yu.

The reason is also very simple. Qiao Yu is now the most dazzling star in academia, and Huaxia is really rich now.

Even though Qiao Yu is still a student in name, he already has good relationships with many well-known mathematicians.

Even if some people in academia appear to be disdainful of money, the fact is that any event organized by academia is inseparable from the support of funders.

As for how humble those unknown scientists can be in order to attract investment for their own projects, many people cannot even imagine.

…

"Haha, Qiao Yu, theoretically your registration has passed the review and you are indeed qualified to participate in this competition. But many people think that you have already received a university education.

According to IMO regulations, students who have already registered in the university are not allowed to participate in IMO. And to be honest, Qiao Yu, you really don’t need IMO to prove yourself anymore.”

Melvin Smith said with a smile.

Both the tone and the content of what he said were well controlled.

There is no need to offend a mathematical genius who is famous for finding errors in papers, right?

Qiao Yu nodded and said sincerely: "Thank you, Professor Smith, but before we formally discuss this issue, I hope everyone can listen to me tell a story, okay?"

Zhou Liang glanced at Qiao Yu, then sat upright.

That's good. I thought I needed him to say something, but now it seems like he doesn't need to.

Zhou Liang is at Yanbei University, so he has naturally heard a lot of gossip. For example, this kid Qiao Yu has coaxed Tian Yanzhen and his opponent Mr. Yuan around...

Now this guy is going to start telling stories again, the effect should be good, right?

"Of course, Qiao Yu, I specially invited you to this meeting because I want to hear what you think about this matter."

Secretary-General Christine immediately looked at Qiao Yu and nodded happily.

The chairman did not come this time because he had considered leaving an escape route in case something unpleasant happened at the meeting.

Pierre Delini considered that Qiao Yu would definitely cause controversy if he participated in the competition, but he did not consider that Qiao Yu could now be regarded as a mathematician with a certain international reputation.

"Thank you, Secretary General." Qiao Yu smiled and nodded politely to Christine, then his expression became serious.

"I believe everyone doesn't know that I come from an unknown school in an unknown city in China. Really, my junior high school alma mater is not even ranked in that city.

Can you believe that a middle school with a history of nearly a hundred years and even longer than IMO has not produced an IMO gold medal winner?

Unfortunately, this is the case with my high school alma mater. In China, funding, educational hardware, teachers, and everything else that can drive school development are all based on performance.

Only by having good grades can you develop faster. I used to be a very bad student, even a poor student in the eyes of my teachers. You can't imagine how much effort my math teacher put into putting me on the right track.

It was him who suggested that I should achieve results in IMO. This has always been his wish, and this is the reason why I must participate in IMO.

So no matter what, I have to participate in this IMO. Because I promised that when I get the medal and go back, I will personally give this medal to my alma mater!"

Qiao Yu spoke firmly because he found that the attitudes of others in this meeting were obviously not firm.

It can probably be understood as a copy of "Meet on a Narrow Road, the Brave Wins".

Although many people's eyes had fallen on the team leader, Professor Zhou, Zhou Liang just moved and remained silent.

But before anyone else could speak, Qiao Yu continued: "In addition, Secretary-General Christine, I would like to ask who raised questions to the steering committee.

Of course, I didn't mean anything else. Mainly I was confused. Because I didn't believe that the players who had passed the selection process would have such doubts.

Because the essence of hosting IMO is to advocate competition! Just like our Chinese team, all the internal members hope that I can participate in this competition, because they think it is more meaningful to defeat me!

No young person will be afraid of challenges! I believe that young people who are qualified to participate in IMO are no cowards! Not to mention that IMO test questions do not require university knowledge to answer.

So I hope the steering committee can listen more to the voices of young people and ask them what they mean! After all, this is a contest of middle school knowledge!

Finally, I hope everyone will consider that next year’s IMO will be held in China. I’ve finished my words, thank you all. I won’t disturb the discussions among the leaders!”

After clarifying his attitude, Qiao Yu stood up, then glanced sideways at Professor Zhou beside him, blinked, and then whispered: "I'm going back to the hotel room first."

Then he strode out of the conference room.

Qiao Yu didn't bother to participate in what this group of people would decide next. If these people really didn't let him participate, he would just take a small notebook and record the names of these people.

It's just that when climbing the peak, a few more people were kicked away. Anyway, one kick is still a kick, and ten kicks are still kicks.

When Qiao Yu returned to the hotel room, he found that no one had slept. They were all gathered in his and Yu Wei's room, which was very lively.

"What are you doing here if you don't want to rest?" Qiao Yu asked in surprise.

When we were assigned rooms, everyone was sharing a double room. Although they were all young guys, they must be very tired after flying for so long, not to mention jet lag...

"Brother Qiao, what else can we do? We have just inquired, and many delegations have already arrived. For example, the United States, Finland... they are all over there."

Yu Yongjun winked at Qiao Yu.

"Then what?" Qiao Yu asked inexplicably: "You plan to hold the opening ceremony in advance?"

Gong Jiatao immediately took over the conversation: "No, Lao Qiao, that's a game. You can't torture us and show kindness here, right?"

Qiao Yu suddenly realized...

Oh, that game he invented.

I was just thinking about whether I could participate in the IMO competition, and I almost forgot about it.

Team leader Zhou had mentioned this to him before, and he probably agreed with it. Anyway, he still doesn’t know if he can participate in this competition...

"Okay, but can you invite people? Will their team leader allow them to play games?" Qiao Yu asked.

"The team leaders don't care about this. They not only allow but also encourage free communication among the players. If we invite people to play games, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Zhang Yi, a player from Jiangcheng, said.

Qiao Yu also had an impression of this friend. During the first training camp at Yanbei University, he was the guy who persisted the longest.

He is truly persevering and fighting against repeated defeats.

"That's ok, go and ask. As for the game, I recommend playing CSgo or League of Legends. Especially since there are many duel maps in C."

Speaking of this, Qiao Yu felt a little itchy.

Really, sometimes Qiao Yu even feels that he is terrifyingly self-disciplined.

His laptop was the one given to him by Xingtie No. 1 Middle School. It had already been installed and downloaded many of his favorite games.

He originally planned to play it during his break at Yanbei University, but after arriving at Yanbei University, he never touched the game once. He never opened it even once.

The game has almost become a distant memory for him. He doesn’t know if he has a hand.

If it is League of Legends that has not been played for a long time, the operation skills may not be very good anymore, but if it is a gun battle, Qiao Yu feels that it will not be a big problem to handle these math students.

"Okay, let's go find someone to discuss it. Brother Qiao, just wait."

The friends dispersed in a hurry, and soon he and Yu Wei were the only two people left in the room.

Yu Wei silently took out his notebook and handed it to Qiao Yu.

"Um?"

"Your laptop is not suitable for playing games. Use mine and log in yourself."

Yu Wei's words are concise and concise.

Qiao Yu took a look at Yu Wei's laptop. Well, needless to say, the second-generation rich laptop's performance would definitely beat his laptop in all aspects.

But then again, the two are not on the same track. The laptops purchased centrally by the school are more focused on official business.

Qiao Yu said nothing, took the laptop, opened it, logged in, and then started downloading the game...

I have to say, the speed is really fast.

"By the way, why did I call you just now?" Yu Wei asked proactively again.

Qiao Yu turned around and looked at Yu Wei in surprise, feeling that this guy had changed a lot. Under normal circumstances, this guy really didn't like to take the initiative to speak.

"They were discussing whether I was eligible to participate. They said that someone had raised doubts and that I had already registered at the university, so I was not eligible to participate."

Qiao Yu spoke concisely and concisely.

"What's the result?" Yu Wei asked.

"I don't know. I came out right after I expressed my opinion, and they are still discussing." Qiao Yu replied casually.

"Then you still accompany them to fool around? If the organizing committee finds out, won't you have no hope of participating?"

Yu Wei frowned and said.
