Replay 07: Opening the Temple of Learning

Chapter 29 Which Student Are You Looking For?
Jiangzhou University is the best school in Jiangzhou City and even Jiangyang Province.

This time, the leaders and teachers from the Admissions Office of Jiangzhou University were coming, and Principal Guo and the school leadership team of Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School were at the school gate to welcome them.

Director Gong Tao of the Admissions Office of Jiangzhou University shook hands with President Guo enthusiastically and introduced the accompanying staff, with particular emphasis on Gao Jianming.

Moreover, Gao Jianming represents the Mathematics major of the School of Science of Jiangzhou University, and the person he is looking for at Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School is also a mathematics major.

President Guo ushered the Jiangzhou University delegation into the conference room and asked the class teachers and first-level teachers of the classes involved to accompany them.

The purpose of doing this is mainly to facilitate communication and to highlight the teaching quality of Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School.

Gao Jianming felt very troubled when he saw that everyone was still discussing the teaching situation at Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School.

He just couldn't understand why people didn't just get down to business and instead had to do all this nonsense.

Before coming, Director Gong Tao did not tell President Guo which student Jiangzhou University wanted to see.

However, Principal Guo had an idea of ​​the situation after analysis.

There were only three students from Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School participating in the winter camp, Su Ming, Fang Tao and Lu Shan.

Among them, Lu Shan was disqualified due to unqualified qualifications, so Jiangzhou University definitely did not look for Lu Shan.

That leaves only Su Ming and Fang Tao. Both of them did not perform well in the final, but Su Ming's score was one point higher than Fang Tao's.

Moreover, Su Ming's father is a famous businessman in Jiangzhou City with a wide network of connections.

The reason why he came to Jiangzhou University this time might be because of Su Ming’s father.

Therefore, President Guo believed that Jiangzhou University should want Su Ming's information.

However, Principal Guo still prepared information on Su Ming and Fang Tao at the same time.

As for Lu Shan's information, Teacher Wang took it and Principal Guo put it aside. There was no reason to prove that Jiangzhou University came because of Lu Shan.

Gao Jianming couldn't help it, and didn't want everyone to waste time in the conference room, so he said, "Principal Guo, Director Liao, would it be convenient for you to show us the student's file?"

Principal Guo quickly said: "No problem, no problem!"

Then he signaled to the Dean of Studies, Mr. Liao, to bring the student's file box over.

Principal Guo said: "Both students are excellent. Not only did they participate in the winter camp for the Mathematical Olympiad, but their grades are also very good."

The teachers present at the meeting also praised Su Ming and Fang Tao.

English teacher Zhang and Su Ming’s mother are friends, and they often play mahjong together.

She was afraid that Fang Tao would be noticed by the teachers at Jiangzhou University, so she tried hard to speak up for Su Ming.

"Su Ming in our class has strong comprehensive abilities and is well-balanced in all subjects. He ranked in the top ten in the school in the last monthly exam. Mathematics and English are his strengths."

Gao Jianming looked at the information and was puzzled.

What the hell are Su Ming and Fang Tao!

What they want is Lu Shan!

Gao Jianming flipped through the back of the file and found that there were indeed only Su Ming and Fang Tao's files, but no Lu Shan's.

The teachers in the Admissions Office also looked at Gao Jianming. This time, the president of Jiangzhou University had spoken. The independent enrollment of the Mathematics major in the School of Science would be based mainly on the opinions of the Mathematics major, so the Admissions Office just needed to actively cooperate.

Gao Jianming put the file on the table and said, "Why is there no information about Lu Shan?"

When these words were spoken, the school leaders and teachers of Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School were stunned.

Why do you want Lu Shan's information?
Teacher Wang, the head teacher of Class 3, reacted quickly and said, "Principal Guo, I also gave you Lu Shan's information yesterday."

Principal Guo then remembered that he had excluded Lu Shan.

But Principal Guo is weird!

Wasn’t Lu Shan disqualified from winter camp?
Principal Guo suddenly thought, could Jiangzhou University be here to hold him accountable?

Is it the school's responsibility to register Lu Shan for the winter camp even though he was not eligible to attend the camp?
But that's not right! What does this have to do with Jiangzhou University? Principal Guo broke out in a cold sweat and said quickly, "Director Gong, Lu Shan is indeed not qualified to enter the Winter Mathematical Olympiad Camp. Our school did not report his name. His name was reported by the training class. We really don't know about this matter."

The conference room suddenly became quiet.

Principal Guo's explanation left Gao Jianming completely confused.

Gao Jianming said seriously: "We know that Lu Shan is not qualified to participate in the CMO finals, but he scored full marks in the CMO finals."

"Of course, his results will not be published."

"In addition, Lu Shan also performed very well when discussing the twin prime problem with Professor Tang Yi, so this time we came mainly to learn about Lu Shan's situation."

The teachers at Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School were very surprised to hear that Lu Shan scored a perfect score in the CMO finals!
I can't believe it!
What is the full score level for the CMO finals?
It can be said that Lu Shan is a mathematical genius!
With such results, not only Jiangzhou University, but also Shuimu University and Yenching University would be vying for him.

Not only will they rush to get it, but they will also be extremely grateful for the training provided by Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School.

This achievement is very eye-catching internationally, and is recognized by many overseas universities.

Principal Guo looked at the Dean of Studies, Director Liao, with a look of dissatisfaction in his eyes!
Lu Shan scored full marks in the CMO finals, but his score will not be announced because he did not meet the qualification requirements.

Su Ming and Fang Tao met the qualifications, but their scores in the CMO finals were only in the teens.

Compared with Lu Shan, there is a world of difference!
So, how did Director Liao, who was responsible for selecting the replacements for the winter camp, choose the ones?

Principal Guo asked for Lu Shan's information to be brought over, and Gao Jianming looked at Lu Shan's information in detail.

Lu Shan's performance in science is indeed excellent.

Gao Jianming is a purely academic teacher and he speaks very directly.

Gao Jianming asked directly: "Principal Guo, I looked at Lu Shan's grades and compared them with Su Ming and Fang Tao's grades. Lu Shan's math is obviously more than one level better than these two students."

"Even if Su Ming and Lu Shan have the same ranking in the math league, your school should consider signing up Lu Shan!"

Gao Jianming became more and more emotional as he spoke.

Even so, because Lu Shan's grades didn't count, Jiangzhou University had a chance to take advantage of the opportunity.

But from Gao Jianming's perspective, he still believed that Lu Shan had a chance for better development, but he lost the opportunity because of the school's decision.

This is very sad and regrettable!

Everyone in the conference room was looking at Director Liao.

Director Liao was extremely nervous.

How could he possibly say that it was because Su Ming's father gave him benefits and treated him to a meal that made him decide to replace Lu Shan with Su Ming to enter the winter camp.

Director Liao could only find objective reasons.

"Dear teachers and leaders, it is true that Lu Shan and Su Ming had the same math league results, so it is difficult for us to choose."

"In the end, from the perspective of fairness and justice, and referring to the two students' usual test scores, I finally chose Su Ming."

"Lu Shan's science scores are indeed better than Su Ming's, but his English and Chinese are not so good, so his overall scores are a little worse..."

"Even if you want to compete internationally in the future, you will still need English."

Teacher Zhang also quickly added: "Yes! Dear leaders, Lu Shan's English test scores are usually around 30 or 40 points, which is really not good enough."

Gao Jianming and others didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School was really messing around!
Mathematics competitions also consider English scores. Isn’t this nonsense?
Even for independent enrollment or the Strong Foundation Plan, students are admitted based on the order of their subject scores, first mathematics, then comprehensive science, and finally English and Chinese, rather than based on comprehensive scores.

Gao Jianming didn't want this to cause any more trouble with the school, so he asked, "Can we meet Lu Shan?"

Director Liao was afraid of being scolded by the leaders after he came down, so he called the Academic Affairs Office and said, "Dear leaders, the results of the first test have just come out. Let's take a look at Lu Shan's results. His overall results are really not as good as the other two students. He is not even in the top 50 of the whole school."
