International Olympiads cover a variety of subject areas, broadly divided into natural sciences and social sciences.

The main competition subjects are mathematics (IMO), physics (IPHO), chemistry (ICHO), etc.

First, students are selected from schools in various provinces and cities and recommended to enter a training camp in Beijing during the winter vacation. Then, six players are selected from each subject to join the national team of the corresponding subject, competing on the world stage with other national teams.

Those who were able to enter the national team in previous years were all talented people selected from the best, and the competition was very fierce.

Because Shen Ying had a good talent for mathematical thinking since childhood, she had been practicing and preparing, and had attended many competition tutoring classes of all sizes.

The competition education resources in her hometown county are somewhat poor, so she has always felt that she has not been truly discovered.

She was confident that she would definitely surpass Shen Shu in this project. She was sure that she had never heard of Shen Shu learning about math competitions before.

Shen Ying was very sure that even if Shen Shu started practicing now, it would be difficult for him to surpass her current level.

Anyone in this world can deceive you, but mathematics won’t.

Because if it can, it can, and if it can't, it can't, there is no middle ground.

Therefore, it was impossible for Shen Shu to sprint through questions in a short period of time before the city competition this Friday. So if she were Shen Shu, she would definitely not come to the tutoring class and would give up this competition on her own initiative.

At this moment, elite students from all grades in the school gathered in the Yumei Building, and different categories were divided into different classrooms.

The mathematics class and the physics class were next to each other. As soon as Shen Ying approached, she saw Lu Bai and several male classmates entering the physics class, talking and laughing.

She secretly pinched her fingers and vowed to make Lu Bai look at her with new eyes in this competition.

The math class was quiet at this moment, with only the sound of papers turning and the rustling of pen tips remaining.

She had seen most of the students sitting here in newspapers or on TV. They were the top math talents in the foreign language school's competition class.

There are former gold medalists in provincial competitions, students who have secured places in the winter vacation training camp in Beijing, and students who have secured places in the junior classes at key universities.

Most of these people have actually been admitted to universities in advance, and they participated in this competition because of their passion and determination to prove themselves.

Ninety percent of the students in the math class are boys, with only four or five girls besides Shen Ying.

Shen Ying found a seat in the front row and sat down. Just as she took out the papers she practiced, several middle-aged professors walked in.

Professor Song Jingshan was also among them. He was about 40 years old, wearing a pair of myopic glasses and low-key casual clothes. He looked very serious and upright.

After seeing him, the eyes of all the students in the classroom lit up. Their goal this time was to gain the favor of Professor Song Jingshan and become his students.

He seemed to be a core figure in the team of mathematics professors and walked in surrounded by the crowd.

The professors made a few brief remarks and then walked around the classroom to help students with their homework.

"Shen Shu, Ye Huaichuan, Shen Ying, the students whose names I called will come to the podium."

Song Jingshan took out several test papers from his briefcase and spoke out loud while standing on the podium.

He heard from the school that these three students were good math talents who could be trained in the new class, so he made a set of test papers to test their performance and see whether they were worth training.

However, only Shen Ying came to the podium, and the other two were not in the classroom at all.

Song Jingshan frowned slightly. Although students came to this tutoring class voluntarily, it was the first time he met a student who did not cherish the opportunity to be tutored.

Outside, he is a teacher that cannot be hired no matter how much tutoring fees are offered. These two students are somewhat ungrateful.

"Hello teacher."

Shen Ying walked forward politely, with a very respectful attitude and an obedient and well-behaved look on her face.

But in her heart she couldn't help but gloat over her misfortune. As she expected, Shen Shu really gave up and didn't dare to come because he knew that math competition questions were not something that could be solved by simply studying.

No matter how talented a student is, he or she will not be able to achieve success without the accumulation of time.

"Do you know where those two students are?"

Song Jingshan nodded calmly, thinking that there was still someone who was obedient and sensible.

"Not sure. Maybe they have something urgent to do and can't come."

Shen Ying looked up and saw the test paper in Song Jingshan's hand. She swallowed quietly and replied briefly.

"This is the test paper I made. Take it back and do it. Bring it back to me tomorrow. Give the remaining two to Shen Shu and Ye Huaichuan and ask them to do them as well."

"Ok."

Amid countless envious and curious gazes in the classroom, Shen Ying took over Song Jingshan's test paper.

Most of the others were well-known in the field of mathematics, and Song Jingshan knew them more or less, so he focused on the new talents recommended by the school. Others probably had no chance to see the test papers.

Shen Ying returned to her seat with great pride and relief. Now that Shen Shu didn't come, and Ye Huaichuan didn't come either, she had become the only student who could be trained intensively without any effort!

"That's enough. Everyone is drooling. Xiao Wang, take this paper and make a few dozen copies and give them out to everyone."

Seeing the gazes of the students below, Song Jingshan waved his hands helplessly and called his assistant.

The questions he asked were quite difficult, especially the last one, which took him a long time to figure out. He was curious to see how many students could solve it.

Cheers suddenly broke out in the classroom. For mathematics enthusiasts, the happiest thing is to encounter difficult problems.

Shen Ying's face froze for a moment, but then quickly returned to normal. She thought this was a special training for her alone.

This little episode passed quickly, and Shen Ying turned her attention back to the topic.

In the spacious backyard of the auto repair shop, Jiang Jingxiu drove his racing cars on the newly built professional track.

"Master, look at how much progress I have made!"

He used the walkie-talkie and spoke excitedly to Shen Shu.

Shen Shu was biting on a strawberry-flavored lollipop that Song Yun had unpacked and handed to him, and was sitting leisurely under the awning.

She stopped the math formula she was drafting and casually looked up: "The speed is much faster than before, there has been progress."

"I just didn't choose the right turning point. I should be closer to the inner lane."

Jiang Jingxiu started learning from her in July this year. In just over three months, he has already mastered many tricks.

He is much more talented than Shen Shu expected, which is quite surprising and makes her, as his master, very pleased.

But before Shen Shu could feel relieved for a while, her own teacher came over.

"How do you feel about doing this new set of questions?"

Song Yun took a plate of peeled grapefruits and oranges and placed them on the table. There were still water droplets on the plate, so he picked up two advertising leaflets and put them underneath.

"Disaster."

Shen Shu supported his head with one hand, completely losing the high spirits he had just had when he was instructing Jiang Jingxiu. He seemed to be completely drained by the math problems.

She was able to answer most of the questions on the last test paper, but this time, she couldn't even understand some of the questions.

Sure enough, it was unrealistic for her to eat a fat man in one bite.

Seeing the dejected look on the little girl's face, Song Yun smiled helplessly.

If she knew that what she was doing was of a world-class level, her attitude would probably change immediately.

"Come, let me see what type of question it is."

Song Yun's voice was low and gentle, and he sat down next to the little girl naturally.
