Replay 07: Opening the Temple of Learning

Chapter 20 You didn't listen, and now you're at a disadvantage

Even the math teacher at Shuimu University was asking where the student who wrote on the blackboard was.

"It only proves a small part, what's behind it?" Some teachers felt as if they were scratched by a cat.

"What's the student's name? Which school is he from? Is he from Yanjing No. 4 Middle School?"

"I don't know yet. Teacher Gao has gone to find someone!"

"It's not Yanjing No. 4 High School. The student from Yanjing No. 4 High School was the first to speak, and the formula is wrong."

Professor Li Guojian of Shuimu University said to Professor Chen Kewei of Yenching University: "Old Chen! I don't know what this student's final score is. I have my eyes on this student. Don't compete with me for her!"

Li Guojian had already assumed that Lu Shan would definitely win the gold medal in the final! He was ready to collect information about Lu Shan and report to the college leaders after returning.

Chen Kewei said with a smile: "Can we snatch it from Professor Tang Yi? Maybe Professor Tang Yi has already prepared to take this student abroad."

Lu Shan did not go home but went to a training institution first.

Zou Yao has already learned that all the students sent to the winter camp by Bluebird Training Institute have been sent back.

Many parents of students are arguing with their boss in the office.

The training institution wanted to refund the training fees to the students' parents, but the parents were not happy about it and insisted that the training institution find a way to retain their eligibility to participate in the winter camp and their results in the finals.

The bosses of training institutions are also quite helpless. The higher authorities have held an emergency meeting and issued measures and plans on "Regulating Olympiad Training in Off-campus Training Institutions."

For a long time to come, training in Mathematical Olympiad may become extinct in tutoring institutions.

Zou Yao also felt a little regretful.

The Olympiad training was no longer available and he was fired.

But there was luck in the regret. Fortunately, he met an excellent student like Lu Shan, who helped him to understand the thesis.

It's also time to return to the United States to complete my graduate thesis.

"Teacher Zou." Lu Shan knocked on the door and came in.

"Lu Shan!" Zou Yao was happy at first, then felt regretful.

An outstanding student like Lu Shan would have definitely achieved a good result in the finals if it weren't for the report from parents this year.

Lu Shan handed Zou Yao one thousand yuan, "Teacher Zou, this is the refund for the winter camp."

Seeing Lu Shan's action, Zou Yao felt embarrassed.

What a difference!
In the boss's office, the student's parents were still making a fuss, but Lu Shan was always so calm and even refunded the accommodation fees.

Zou Yao was very embarrassed: "You keep the money, why return it? This time it's really, I don't know how to explain it to you."

Who knew Lu Shan smiled and said, "The policy is force majeure."

"Being able to take the exam and communicate with Professor Tang Yi has achieved my goal. Other things are not important."

Zou Yao nodded, took out a piece of paper, wrote down an email address and MSN number, handed it to Lu Shan and said, "I'm going home to pack up tomorrow and then go to the United States."

"Thank you for your advice that night. I need to finish my graduation thesis as soon as possible. If you need anything, please contact me via email or MSN."

"If you want to make further progress in mathematics, I don't recommend you go to those two schools in Yenching. You can choose an inland school with a strong mathematics major."

"You know, I graduated from Shuimu University. For kids like us from inland cities with no background... it's hard..."

The reason why Zou Yao chose such a difficult path to study abroad was because his research results were ruthlessly taken away by his 3.0 classmates, and he had no way to appeal.

Academics are pure, but the academic world is not pure.

To be precise, wherever there is competition, it is not pure.

Regardless of whether he accepted Zou Yao's suggestion or not, Lu Shan expressed his gratitude.

When Lu Shan and Zou Yao said goodbye, Zou Yao gave him a book as a parting gift. The name of the book was "Group Theory", written by Soviet mathematician Kulosh.

At home, neither of my parents came back.

The spring factory of my father Lu Dehai was not doing well and laid off a large number of workers, not to mention temporary workers. Later, my father gave the workshop director two bottles of good wine and cigarettes, accepted the fact of reduced income, and was reluctantly retained by the factory to continue working as a temporary worker.

The factory wanted to save costs, and since Lu Dehai happened to be a skilled worker, they reluctantly kept him.

Cheap and easy-to-use temporary workers are definitely cheaper than formal workers who need to purchase social security.

Lu Shan's interest in science may be partly inherited from his father.

But my father's income was lower and his work was busier.

In order to supplement the family income, Lin Yan not only sells vegetables at the stall in the morning, but also sells snacks such as fried potatoes at the gate of the primary school in the afternoon. She may not even get five hours of sleep a day.

Seeing the family's dire financial situation, Lu Shan became anxious.

At this stage, if you have good academic performance, there are very few ways to change your family's life except to tutor students and charge them some tuition fees or get scholarships.

Speculating in real estate and stocks requires capital, which Lu Shan does not have.

Lu Shan couldn't remember the numbers when buying lottery tickets.

However, there is a Singularity Laboratory, which states that points can be exchanged for some technical products that meet current academic levels, but the minimum academic points are 100 points.

Still a little short of points.

The next day, Lu Shan went to school.

The morning self-study class happened to be English.

When Shen Qian saw that Lu Shan came back a day early, she looked at him happily and took the initiative to help Lu Shan wash the cup and get hot water.

“The review book you gave me is very useful!”

Shen Qian said in a low voice, and then took out an exquisitely designed notebook from the drawer.

"Here are the vocabulary and grammar that are required for the college entrance examination that I have compiled over the past few days. I'm giving them to you. You must review them carefully."

Lu Shan opened the notebook and found that all the contents were handwritten by Shen Qian.

The handwriting is elegant and neat.

Some different places are written in different colors.

Lu Shan was moved.

The little girl really put a lot of effort into improving her English performance.

"My English is just like this. It's hard to improve without a lot of accumulation. Don't waste your time."

Shen Qian said angrily: "There is still half a year before the college entrance examination. We can't give up so easily."

At this point, Shen Qian was very confused. Wasn't the winter camp five days long? It was not until tomorrow that it would end. How could Lu Shan be back? And Su Ming hadn't come back yet.

In fact, just yesterday, the news that the CMO organizing committee kicked out the students in the training classes of the winter camp and strictly investigated the training institutions had spread to major universities and training institutions across the country.

As Jiangzhou City is a severely affected area, the Jiangzhou Municipal Education Bureau urgently called a meeting of principals of all primary, middle and high schools yesterday afternoon to learn from the incident and cancel the schools' after-school tutoring for competitions such as the Mathematical Olympiad.

So English teacher Zhang also knew that Lu Shan was kicked out of the winter camp.

Teacher Zhang was furious when she saw Lu Shan coming back and not paying attention during the English morning self-study class, talking to Shen Qian and disrupting her morning reading.

She was about to criticize Lu Shan in front of the whole class.

"I've said before that you can't do anything that takes shortcuts! Now you know what's going on. You can't go to the winter camp, and you've missed four days of study."

"You're not making good use of your time to review now, and you're still talking and disturbing other students!"

"Lu Shan, if you really don't want to study early, you can ask your mom to ask your class teacher for leave. It's better to sleep a little longer at home than to disturb others so early!"
