Just when the student union president started to register for the competition, Xiang Nan, Han Xu, Yu Zhouzhou, Zheng Jiechao and others took part in the re-examination of the Mathematical Olympiad.
Zhenhua Middle School’s top students have always had a tradition of participating in five major subject competitions.
Firstly, once you win a prize, you can be admitted to school and avoid the hardship of the college entrance examination; secondly, once you win a prize, you can win honors for yourself and the school.
As the saying goes, if a man is not successful, his youth will be wasted. When you are young and frivolous, who doesn’t want to be the center of attention and shine.
The re-examination is scheduled to start on September 12. The first test will be from 8:00 to 9:20. It will include eight fill-in-the-blank questions and three answer questions, with a full score of 120 points. The second test is from 9:40 to 12:30, with a total of four answer questions, with a full score of 180 points.
After the exam, provincial first, second and third prizes will be awarded based on the exam results. Among them, the first prize winners entered the provincial team and participated in the finals of the winter camp, from which the first, second and third prizes at the national level were determined.
Among them, the first prize at the provincial level will be awarded ten points for the college entrance examination, the first prize at the national level will be eligible for recommendation, and an additional twenty points will be added for taking the college entrance examination.
"Tiantian, you must take the exam well." Chu Guoqiang warned.
"Son, you must live up to your expectations." He Yufen also told him.
"Don't worry, I will definitely do it." Xiang Nan nodded and walked into the examination room.
…
The exam lasted from eight o'clock to half past twelve, with only a twenty-minute break in between.
Such difficult questions and such a long time are a torture for everyone. The only exception is Xiang Nan.
For him, high school math Olympiad questions are really simple. What was tested was more complex and partial, but in fact it was still basic mathematics, and the difficulty level was far worse than advanced mathematics.
After one try, Xiang Nan had finished all the exercises by 8:45. After the calculation was correct, he was so bored that he wrote an outline on a piece of paper.
In the second test, Xiang Nan officially finished his answer at eleven o'clock. After the calculation was completed, he was really bored and drew a portrait of Ling Xiangqian on the straw paper. The painting was good and lifelike.
The invigilator was a little shocked when he saw this scene.
After supervising so many exams, this is the first time I have seen such a calm Mathematical Olympiad contestant.
…
After handing in the papers at 12:30, Xiang Nan left the examination room and went home with his parents for dinner.
"Tiantian, how's it going? Did you do well in the exam?" Chu Guoqiang asked with concern.
"Don't worry, Dad, my son will not disappoint you." Xiang Nan nodded.
"That's good." Chu Guoqiang said happily.
"Tiantian, once I am recommended, will I not charge tuition?" He Yufen asked again.
"No need." Xiang Nan nodded.
"Great, that can save tens of thousands." Chu Guoqiang smiled happily.
Xiang Nan nodded, feeling that they were pitiful and pathetic.
After returning home, Xiang Nan took out his mobile phone while his parents were cooking.
He saw dozens of new text messages on his phone, all of which were from classmates wishing him success in the exam.
Among them was one from Ling Xiangqian, and there were two of them.
One was sent before the exam, "Tiankuo, I wish you success!" The other was sent after handing in the paper, "Tiankuo, how did you do in the exam?"
Xiang Nan immediately replied, "Don't worry, I did very well in the exam."
"Well, I knew I was worried in vain, but I couldn't help it." Ling Xiangqian breathed a sigh of relief and replied with a smile.
"I know you care about me." Xiang Nan replied, "It's okay, I won't let you down."
…
After eating, Xiang Nan went back to school to continue class.
At this time, the election for student union president is in full swing.
Among them, Xiang Nan is the most promising seed player.
First of all, he has served as the monitor of the first class since he was in the first grade of high school and has rich management experience. I have joined the student union since I was a freshman in high school and am familiar with the operation process of the student union. If he takes over as chairman, there will be no unrest in the student union.
Secondly, Chu Tiankuo is capable and well-rounded, and he will complete everything assigned by the teacher very well. The school is naturally willing to cultivate such an obedient and capable talent.
Therefore, Director Pan specially sent reporters from the school TV station to interview and report on Xiang Nanlai to further build momentum for his election.
"Tiankuo, I'm optimistic about you, so you must choose carefully." Director Pan encouraged with a smile.
"Don't worry, Director Pan, I will do my best." Xiang Nan smiled and nodded.
Besides him, there are two other candidates. One is Fan Juncheng from Class 2, and the other is Ling Xiangqian from Class 3.
Ling Xiangqian originally didn't want to be in the spotlight anymore, but her mother refused to let her go and forced her to sign up.
…
"Tiankuo, I didn't want to choose, but my mother forced me to choose. It would be so embarrassing if I didn't choose." Ling Xiangqian couldn't help complaining on the way home after school in the evening.
"Don't worry. It's too pessimistic to assume that you have failed before you even make a choice." Xiang Nan comforted with a smile, "I think as a human being, don't set limits for yourself. It’s not good, that’s not okay either.
In this way, the standards will only get lower and lower, and even if you are good at it, you will become more and more mediocre. According to me, the results are not important, but the effort is more important.
If you work hard, you will have no regrets even if you fail. Otherwise, you will choose to fail before you even try. Although the pressure will be much less, there won’t be any reluctance, right?
The most painful thing in life is not that I can't do it, but that I could have... Sissi, don't do anything you regret. "
After hearing Xiang Nan's words, Ling Xiangqian felt enlightened and suddenly enlightened.
"Tiankuo, what you said is really good, then I'll give it a try." She nodded with a smile.
Originally, she was a little resigned to mediocrity. Because in order to maintain excellence, she really worked too hard, was too tired, and was too stressed. But after hearing what Xiang Nan said, she felt that she should continue to work hard.
"Well, don't worry, I will also support you." Xiang Nan smiled, "If you become the chairman, I will become the vice chairman and help you when the time comes."
"Yeah." Ling Xiangqian smiled and nodded.
…
Turning around, Xiang Nan walked across the corridor to the toilet.
I saw a person covering his head with a scarf, spreading flyers in the corridor, "Hello, please support the goddess Ling Xiangqian of the third class. The little princess Zhenhua is beautiful, sweet, loving and dedicated..."
Xiang Nan was stunned and recognized that this person was Jiang Chuan, which made him laugh.
This Jiang Chuan is really persistent. He has to do so many things for Ling Xiangqian even though he has already been eliminated. This is commendable for his loyalty.
However, the wrong affection is one of the most useless things in the world.
It can't move anyone except yourself.
Sure enough, he saw Ling Xiangqian walking angrily from another section of the corridor. She snatched the flyer from his hand, then raised her leg and gave him a kick, "Jiang Chuan, this belongs to your uncle~"
"Qian Qian, I'm helping you." Jiang Chuan quickly explained with a smile.
"I don't need you to help me like this." Ling Xiangqian said feeling speechless.
None of the other candidates are canvassing votes, but Jiang Chuan is the only one posting small ads here. How shameful!
Moreover, the poorly written advertising slogan, [Little Princess Zhenhua, sweet love and devotion to people’s beautiful songs], is not so flattering to one’s own face.
Especially when she saw Xiang Nan standing not far away, smiling and looking this way, she couldn't help but blush.
