I just want to be a quiet scholar

Chapter 16 High School Math League
"Little Junior Brother, it's easy to talk." Shen Qi nodded, and then asked all his teammates: "Why does Teacher Cao strongly forbid us to use university knowledge to solve problems? For example, I have already made the best sword, do I still use it? The lowest level jungler to clear the jungle? Not very efficient."

Meng Tianqiang replied: "Didn't Mr. Cao say that using college knowledge to solve high school math problems is equivalent to cheating."

"Then everyone uses university knowledge, the standard is the same, there is no cheating."

"Actually, all of us have read college mathematics textbooks to some extent, and the degree of depth is different. Shen Qi, you must know that not every high school student can understand higher-end and more professional mathematics knowledge as you understand it. Profound, including me. If you use a lot of methods beyond the scope of high school textbook knowledge to compete, it will be a crit damage to other high school students, at least 1 points or more."

"Well, Team Meng, your logic is flawless."

Shen Qi asked again, "How many seniors does Teacher Cao take, why have I never seen him?"

Meng Tianqiang: "Mr. Cao has been retired for several years. He was hired back to lead us to count the teams. He is an excellent teacher in the country and is very famous in the industry."

"What's the relationship between my head teacher Zhang Wanbang and Teacher Cao?" Shen Qixian was curious.

"It is said that when Mr. Zhang came to our school as an intern teacher, he was Mr. Cao's apprentice. They were in the same group and worked together for many years."

"No wonder, Mr. Zhang and old man Cao have the same temper. Before teaching knowledge, he will eat you, and then he will tell you the truth. Speaking of whether old man Cao has gone to smoke again, it has been more than ten minutes and he has not come back. It's really big!" Shen Qi looked out the door.

Meng Tianqiang said habitually: "He won't come back, let's teach ourselves here, and we will dissolve at nine o'clock."

"The training method of our math competition team is really self-study?" The day after tomorrow is the main competition of the math league. Shen Qi thought that there would be a round of intensive training tonight.

Meng Tianqiang said: "Most of the situation is like this. If there is any doubt, let's discuss it within the team first, and then ask Mr. Cao for advice when we encounter a problem that all the team members can't overcome. This is not the case for mathematics, self-taught."

"The disciplinary style and management style of the school sports team and the school track and field team are really different." When Shen Qi passed the playground today, he saw the school track and field team practicing in full swing under the leadership of the coach. His good friend Xu Rui is practicing cramps.

"We are men of brain power, and we take the high-end route. Can the barbarians of the track and field team compare with us?" Meng Tianqiang said proudly, which resonated with all teammates.

"They call us weak chickens. Let's see them as savages. I have a brother who is on the school track and field team. He can kill half of our teams by himself." Shen Qi told an objective fact.

"Fearful!"

"Super wide and scared!"

"Barbarians are the most feared!"

The rest of the team members shivered, so they each read their own books and did their own problems.

……

"Shen Qi, what are you going to participate in? The math league? There is also a math league, a group of weak chickens are playing a ghost league! What? What? If you win this broken league, you will be able to go to Tsinghua University? Is there any reason for his uncle? , a weak chicken is also a weak chicken when it goes to Tsinghua University, a senior weak chicken with a diploma! Shen Qi, you give me a good math league, if I can't win the championship, I will chop you up!" This is Xu Rui's WeChat message to Shen Qi.

The language style is simple and rude, but Shen Qi felt the warmth.

In the past two months, Shen Qi's progress has been obvious to all.

Xu Rui accepted this fact. Since good friend Shen Qi is determined to work hard, I wish him a bright future and a gratifying study.

"Shen Qijiang, come on, wait for your good news O(∩_∩)O~" This is the WeChat sent by Chen Xiaoting to Shen Qi, the language style is gentle and pleasant.

"As the representative of the math class, I didn't even have the chance to represent our class to participate in the math union, but you did it. Shen Qi, help me make up for this regret, class 2 is up to you, don't let the people in class 45678 look down on us in class 2. "Huang Zikun, who is not far away, also sent a WeChat message to Shen Qi, and 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 face to face.

But Shen Qi knew that the person who cared about him most besides his parents might be Zhang Wanbang.

And the person who knows him best, Mr. Zhang may be ranked first.

Sunday, May 5.

Shen Qi was wearing the school uniform of Nangang No. [-] Middle School. His student ID card, competition card, pen and ruler were packed in a schoolbag. He sat in the passenger seat and operated his mobile phone, replying to several classmates one by one.

The car is a black Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Although it has been driven for a few years, it looks like it is still [-]% to [-]% new. The driver, Shen Zhishan, stopped on the road and waited for the red light: "Shen Qi, you have been playing with your mobile phone since you went out. Are you too nervous or too relaxed? ?"

"My classmates are very concerned about my participation in the digital union. I'm thanking everyone for their support. It's too relaxed, not too much. Too nervous, not too much. Keep a normal heart." Shen Qi sent the last text message and put away his phone. .

"It's very good to be able to maintain a normal mind." Shen Zhishan opened the skylight to let in some air, "Shen Qi, I can see your recent progress and your hard-working attitude towards learning. Let's open the skylight and say something bright about your future. What is the goal?"

"Go to college."

"Which university do you want to go to?"

Shen Qi looked up at the early morning sky through the skylight, and the weather was fine today: "I like universities with nice names, such as Shuimu, Fudan, Tongji, Yixian, etc."

"Universities with nice names are all famous schools, and they have high ambitions. But you have difficulty getting into these nice and famous schools just by relying on mathematics?" Shen Zhishan asked.

Shen Qi: "Hopefully this time, we can win a grand prize and win the special recruitment quota for leading talents in the professional field of a famous school. The famous schools with good names that I just mentioned have very famous mathematics departments, and the freshmen who enter their mathematics departments , more than half of them are special tricks, which is what Teacher Zhang said. Of course, the college entrance examination cannot be given up, it is the back road, in short, competition and college entrance examination must be hard to grasp with both hands."

"You are more close to Teacher Zhang than to me." Shen Zhishan smiled and added, "Yes, your plan is more reasonable and rational, but your mother wants you to study medicine."

Shen Qi didn't answer and asked, "What about you, what do you want me to learn?"

"I wanted you to go to a military academy before, but your character is not suitable for the military. Go your own way, choose your own life, all I can do is to prepare tuition for you, where will you go in a year's time? ,You decide."

"Long live the understanding. Dad, you don't have to drive me. It only takes me 10 minutes to go to school by bike."

"Today is a new starting point in your life. I have to personally send you to participate in the math competition. There is no way. This is father's love."

"Dad, what I mean is, you drive slower than I ride, this intersection has been blocked for 10 minutes, and the red light has waited for seven rounds...you're going to be late!"

Finally, Shen Zhishan drove through the most congested intersection, and Shen Qi got off at the entrance of Nangang No. [-] Middle School.

There was a bus parked in front of the school, and Meng Tianqiang, the captain of the competition team, looked anxiously under the bus.

Meng Tianqiang found Shen Qi, he waved and shouted, "Shen Qi, get in the car!"

Shen Qi sprinted to the front door of the bus and boarded with Meng Tianqiang.

"Sorry, Teacher Cao, it's been a long wait." After getting in the car, Shen Qi said apologetically to Cao Xin'an who was sitting in the front row.

Cao Xin'an asked blankly, "Have you brought your student ID card and competition card?"

"I brought it." Shen Qi took out the student ID card and the competition card and showed it to Cao Xin'an.

Cao Xin'an spread his right palm: "Turn off the phone, give it to me, then go to the back and find a seat."

Shen Qi took out his mobile phone, turned it off, and handed it over to Cao Xin'an for safekeeping, 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, including the driver, Cao Xin'an and all members of the Nangang No. [-] Middle School Competition Team.

Cao Xin'an is the leader of this team. Today, he will lead the team to attack the annual provincial high school mathematics league.

Last year, it was also the team led by Cao Xinan. The results were not good. There were only two first prizes, and none of the team in the upper province.

The year before last was even worse, with 0 first prizes and only 3 second prizes.

The record that Cao Xinan is most proud of dates back to eight years ago, when he had not yet retired and taught at Nangang No. [-] Middle School.

The team members of that session were full of talents, all of them won the first prize, and half of them were on the provincial team line.The best wizard was finally selected for the National Mathematical Olympiad team that year. He represented China in the United States and won the IMO gold medal. He was sent to Shuimu University. He is now studying at Trinity College, Cambridge, UK, pursuing a Ph.D.

In the past eight years, the overall level of mathematics in Nangang No. [-] Middle School has changed from prosperity to decline, which made Cao Xinan very unwilling. Old Ji Fuzheng was rehired and he had only one wish, to send another student to the national team before he died.

However, the overall competitive level of this year's competition team cannot satisfy Cao Xin'an. He is 64 years old and will not be able to work for a few years.

The only person in this team that makes Cao Xinan feel a little relieved is the captain Meng Tianqiang.

Meng Tianqiang participated in the mathematics league last year when he was a sophomore in high school and won the first prize, but at most he was the first prize in the province, and it was difficult to get to the provincial team line.

"Do you really want me to live until the age of 70? I don't know if I can live to the age of 70." Cao Xin'an felt helpless. He was not afraid of death, but that his students would fail.
