A group of dozens of mathematical talents finally selected seven people to compete abroad. Although the limited number of participants was five, they selected two more people to serve as substitutes in case of any accidents. Among these seven people were Chen Zheyu and Li Siyuan, because Qi led the team to compete abroad, the team has a total of eight people.
The date to go abroad was quickly decided, and Su Qingyun left the institute specially to tell her parents the news.
"So fast?" Qin Ying was stunned. The training was over so soon?
"Yeah." Su Qingyun nodded.
Su Aimin felt a little distressed, "How long will you be out here?"
"Four or five days." Su Qingyun thought for a while and said.
Su Aimin and Qin Ying nodded silently. Although they knew that their children would always go further and further away, they were really uneasy as parents when they left the country and traveled across the ocean.
But neither of them showed it. The child was already worried enough about competing abroad, so they couldn't let her worry about it anymore.
"Okay, you go to the game and your mother and I will continue to play in the capital." Su Aimin pretended to be relaxed and said, "There are still many places we haven't gone to yet, so your mother and I won't see you off." He was afraid that If I send it off, I will be even more reluctant and worried.
Su Qingyun smiled, "No need to send it away. I'm with you all. There's nothing to worry about. Just have fun and wait for my good news."
"good."
Before leaving, the institute specially held a mobilization meeting for the members who were going to compete abroad. Director Feng of the institute encouraged everyone at the meeting.
"This time I went to country E to compete in the competition to prove that our country of mathematics is not without people, nor are they all ordinary people. I hope you will go all out, get a good result, and give a hard blow to those who look down on China. Mathematical Man’s Face.”
"Due to some historical issues, you may encounter some unequal treatment and prejudice outside, but I hope everyone can deal with it calmly and not get into trouble."
"The higher-ups are also paying close attention to this competition. I hope everyone will not disappoint the higher-ups! Can you do it?"
As the team leader, Yu Qi was the first to stand up and express his stance, "I promise to complete the task!"
Director Feng smiled and said, "It seems that Director Yu is very confident in the people under him?"
"Of course!" Yu Qi answered without hesitation. Every member of the mathematics talent group was personally selected by him, so of course he was confident.
"Okay!" Director Feng Chang Yue said, "You just need to have this kind of confidence and courage!"
He stood up and said, "Then I wish everyone a victory!"
"Promise to complete the mission!" Everyone stood up and shouted in unison, including of course Su Qingyun.
When the meeting ended, Director Feng deliberately kept Yu Qi behind and told him: "When you lead a team abroad this time, you should be careful and pay attention to the safety of the team members, especially Su Qingyun. She is young, so you should keep an eye on her." A little bit, if she can shine in this competition, she has to pay more attention.”
"You also know that foreign forces are always watching us now. If they see that we have young and outstanding talents like Su Qingyun, they may cause harm, so you must ensure that they can come back safely. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Yu Qi also understood the seriousness of the matter and agreed with a serious face.
Back then, when the country was in critical condition, so many people of insight chose to study abroad and learn from the foreigners to master their skills. They brought back advanced technology and ideas, which set the country on a completely new path. These In 2008, in order for the country to develop rapidly, many people went abroad to study, and there were many experts and scholars who wanted to come back to build the motherland, but they were prevented by various reasons and means.
For example, Mr. Qian, more than 20 years ago, was under house arrest for five years before returning to China. Today, more than 20 years later, foreign countries still want to use extraordinary means to block high and new technologies and continue to keep China far behind. Behind the scenes, they would never agree!
The time to go abroad is just one day later, and Su Qingyun is already ready. The straight-line distance in the air from the capital of China to the competition venue E-Cotton City is more than 8,000 kilometers. The plane flight time is long, and you need to fly from the capital to the port city first. Transferring in a port city and then flying to country E is much more complicated than direct flights in later generations.
It was early morning on August 11th. Although autumn had already begun, the weather was still hot and sultry even in the early morning. There were very few passengers at the Capital Airport of China and it was almost deserted.
In this era, those who can fly are either national leaders, pilots, flight attendants, or personnel performing special tasks, so even the Capital Airport still has a small flow of people.
The Chinese team of the International Mathematics Competition arrived at the airport this early morning. They are all young people under the age of thirty. They have upright figures and look energetic. They attracted the attention of many guests as soon as they arrived at the airport.
The identity check requires a household registration book and a letter of introduction. Yu Qi showed the official letter from the Beijing Research Institute. After being checked, everyone received their tickets, passed the security check, and sat down to wait for the flight.
Today's air tickets are still handwritten, with name, baggage weight and flight number on them.
Except for Yu Qi, who had flown on business before, and Su Qingyun, who had a mysterious background, everyone else was flying for the first time. They were all young people, so they were inevitably excited and felt novel everywhere.
Li Siyuan looked at the magnificent terminal building in front of him, his eyes widened, and he murmured: "It's so spectacular."
Who would have thought that just a few months ago, he was just a record keeper in the factory, and now he would be flying abroad to compete. The opportunities in life are so wonderful and full of unknowns.
Chen Zheyu is the oldest member of this team. He is just on the edge of thirty years old. He can't hide his excitement at this moment. His mood is the same as Li Siyuan. A few months ago, he was not just a cowering in school. Are you a teacher who wants to live in a corner of the world? At that time, he could not have imagined that he would still be here today.
Thinking of this, Chen Zheyu looked at Su Qingyun beside him, his eyes a little complicated. If Qingyun hadn't sent the teacher's notes and brought the teacher, he might not have had the courage to take that step, and he would still have been cowering in self-deception. In the shell, just muddle along.
The gears of fate started turning from that day.
"Thank you, Qingyun." Chen Zheyu thanked him sincerely.
"What?" Su Qingyun was comparing the difference between this terminal and later generations in her mind, when she suddenly heard such a senseless thank you and was stunned.
"Thank you for bringing me the teacher's news, which gave me the courage to take an unknown road." Chen Zheyu said seriously.
Su Qingyun was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Senior brother, I didn't do anything. Everything was your own choice, and it was your own ability that brought you to where you are today."
Chen Zheyu also laughed and said nothing more, but there was a voice in his heart saying that it was not like this. If no one pushed him behind him, maybe his life would really be like that.
Yu Qi walked over, looked at Su Qingyun with a calm expression, and asked, "How are you doing? How are you feeling now? Are you excited?"
"It's quite exciting." Su Qingyun smiled.
"Really?" Yu Qi pointed to the team members next to him, "That's how excited they are. They are almost turning into monkeys. I really can't tell you are excited when you look like this."
Su Qingyun touched her nose and smiled, "Maybe my excitement is more restrained."
"Hahaha." Yu Qi was happy, "Okay, it's a good thing for young people to be stable."
He has never had any doubts about Su Qingyun's ability, but the only thing he worried about was her mentality. After all, she was still too young. In an international mathematics competition, people from mathematics teams from various countries gathered together to meet. No one knows what happened, but he is afraid that she is too young to be able to handle things, and her mentality will collapse when the time comes.
But now it seems that this girl may be more stable than the other monkeys next to her.
Soon, it was time to board the plane. There was no concept of covered bridges yet. People boarded the plane directly along the tarmac on foot. Most of the current passenger planes were Boeing 707s and Il-62s. Su Qingyun took a look and saw that they were boarding the plane. It's a Boeing 707.
This flight was from Beijing to Hong Kong. There were not many passengers on the bus. Apart from them, there were only three or four people. They were all well-dressed and exquisite. They looked like they were not ordinary people, but they were still able to fly in this era. There are no simple characters.
Su Qingyun looked inside the aircraft. Although the current aircraft is not as advanced and modern as later generations, the seats are much wider than the economy class seats of later generations. This must be because there are not many passengers.
With a huge roar, the plane began to taxi. After taxiing for a long distance, the plane rose from the ground and soared into the sky. The feeling of weightlessness made everyone both scared and novel.
"Did you fly into the sky so quickly? That's amazing!"
"It's indeed a plane, it's so fast!"
"Look out the window, the sky is so blue and there are so many white clouds."
…
Everyone murmured in low voices. Su Qingyun looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window and smiled. Although she had flown countless times, this was her first time flying in this era, and it felt a bit novel.
The stewardess on the plane, who was beautiful and elegant in a green uniform, began to distribute meals to everyone. The concept of airplane meals in China is not yet strong at the moment, and they only distributed some fast food such as hard-boiled eggs, chicken cakes, and luncheon meat. What’s special is that smoking and drinking are now allowed on airplanes.
The flight attendant put the cigarettes on the tray for passengers to take out. Everyone puffed away, and the plane seemed to be filled with fog inside and outside.
As for the wine, the service was even more attentive. Su Qingyun looked at it and saw that the wine the stewardess poured for everyone was still Moutai, and you could refill it after drinking. These are all different from flying in later generations.
What surprised Su Qingyun was that she actually received a toffee. Perhaps because she was young, she was the only one on the entire plane who had one.
Su Qingyun looked at the White Rabbit toffee in her hand and laughed.
