I Just Want to Be a Quiet Top Student

"Little brother, it's easy to talk about." Shen Qi nodded, and then asked all his teammates: "Why does Mr. Cao strongly prohibit us from using university knowledge to solve problems? For example, I have already produced the top-level sword. Do I still use it?" The lowest level jungler knife to clear the field? It’s not efficient.”

Meng Tianqiang replied: "Didn't Teacher Cao say that using university knowledge to solve high school math problems is equivalent to cheating?"

"Then everyone will use university knowledge, and the standards will be the same, so there will be no cheating."

"Actually, those of us have read college mathematics textbooks more or less, and the level of depth varies. Shen Qi, you must know that not every high school student is as good at higher-level and more professional mathematics knowledge as you understand. Profound, including me. If you use a lot of methods beyond the scope of high school textbook knowledge to compete, it will be a kind of critical damage to other high school students, at least 10,000 points or more."

"Well, Team Meng, your logic has no flaws."

Shen Qi asked again: "Teacher Cao takes the seniors, why have I never seen him?"

Meng Tianqiang: "Teacher Cao has retired for several years, and he was hired back to lead our math team. He is an excellent teacher in the country and is very famous in the industry."

"What is the relationship between my class teacher Zhang Wanbang and Teacher Cao?" Shen Qi was curious.

"It is said that when Mr. Zhang came to our school as an intern teacher, he was an apprentice of Mr. Cao. They are in a team and have worked together for many years."

"No wonder, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Cao have the same temper. Before teaching knowledge, you will have a meal in your mouth, and then you will talk to you. By the way, is Mr. Cao going to smoke again? It has been more than ten minutes and he hasn't come back. He is addicted to smoking. It's really big!" Shen Qi looked outside the door.

Meng Tianqiang said as usual: "He won't come back, let's study by ourselves here, we will disband at nine o'clock."

"The training method of our number competition team is really self-study?" The day after tomorrow is the number match, Shen Qi thought that there would be a round of surprise intensive training tonight, but he didn't expect that the method of intensive training would be group self-study.

Meng Tianqiang said: "Most of the cases are like this. If we have any doubts, we discuss them in the team first. When we encounter problems that all the team members cannot overcome, we can then ask Teacher Cao for advice. This is not the case for all mathematics practitioners. They are self-taught."

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

"We are men with brains, and we are taking the high-end route. Can those barbarians on the track and field team compare with us?" Meng Tianqiang said proudly, which resonated with all the teammates.

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

"Scared!"

"Super scary!"

"Savages are the most feared!"

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

...

"Shen Qi, what are you going to participate in? Mathematics league? Mathematics also has a league. What kind of league is a group of weak chickens playing! What? What? Is there any reason to go to Tsinghua University if you play this broken league? , A weak chicken is also a weak chicken after entering Tsinghua University, a high-level weak chicken with a diploma! Shen Qi, you give me a good math league, and if you don’t win the championship, I will kill you!” This is Xu Rui’s WeChat message to Shen Qi.

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

In the past two months, everyone has seen Shen Qi's progress.

Xu Rui accepted this fact, and since his good friend Shen Qi has the ambition to work hard, I wish him a bright future and good academic results.

"Shen Qijiang, come on, I'm waiting for your good news O(∩_∩)O~" This is Chen Xiaoting's WeChat message to Shen Qi, with a gentle and pleasant language style.

"As a representative of the math class, I didn't even have the chance to represent our class in the number couplet, but you did. Shen Qi, help me make up for this regret. Class 2 depends on you. Don't let people in class 45678 look down on our class 2. "Huang Zikun, who is neither far nor close, also sent a WeChat message to Shen Qi, and Huang Zikun, who has always been arrogant, actually revealed a trace of sourness in his words.

Zhang Wanbang didn't say a word to Shen Qi before the match, and he didn't even see each other.

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

As for the person who knows himself best, Mr. Zhang may be ranked first.

Sunday, May 17.

Shen Qi was wearing the school uniform of Nangang No. 2 Middle School, and put his student ID card, competition ID card, and pen ruler in his 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 opened for several years, it still looks like it is about 70% or 80% new. The driver Shen Zhishan stopped on the road and waited for a red light: "Shen Qi, you have been playing with your phone after you go out. Are you too nervous or too relaxed? ?”

"Students are very concerned about my participation in the number union. I am thanking everyone for their support. It's too easy to do it. It's too nervous to do it. Keep a normal heart." After sending the last text message, Shen Qi put away his phone .

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

"Go to college."

"Which university do you want to go to?"

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

"Universities with good names are famous schools, and their ambitions are not small. But if you only rely on mathematics, it will be difficult to get into these famous schools with good names?" Shen Zhishan asked.

Shen Qi: "I hope this time the Federation can win a big prize, and strive for special recruitment places for leading talents in the professional fields of prestigious schools. The mathematics departments of the famous schools with good names I mentioned just now are very famous. Fresh graduates who enter their mathematics departments , more than half of them are special moves, this is what Mr. Zhang said. Of course, the road of the college entrance examination cannot be given up.

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

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

"Before I wanted you to go to military school, but your character is not suitable for the military. You can go your own way and choose your own life. All I can do is prepare tuition fees for you. Where will you go after one year? ,You decide."

"Long live the understanding. Dad, you don't have to drive me. It only takes me ten minutes to ride to school."

"Today is a new starting point in your life. I must personally send you to participate in the number competition. There is no way. This is fatherly love."

"Dad, what I mean is that you drive slower than I ride a bicycle. This intersection has been stuck for 10 minutes, and the red light has not passed for seven rounds... You are going to be late!"

Finally, Shen Zhishan drove through the most congested intersection, and Shen Qi got off at the gate of Nangang No. 2 Middle School.

There was a bus parked at the gate of the school, and Meng Tianqiang, the captain of the number competition team, looked anxiously under the bus.

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

Shen Qi rushed to the front door of the bus, and got on the bus with Meng Tianqiang.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Cao, for the long wait." After getting into 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?"

"Bring it with you." Shen Qi took out his student ID card and competition card and showed it to Cao Xin'an.

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

Shen Qi took out his mobile phone, turned it off, and handed it to Cao Xin'an for safekeeping, then went to find a seat in the back of the car and sat down.

The bus started and headed south.

There were more than a dozen people in the car, the driver, Cao Xin'an, and all members of the Nangang No. 2 High School Mathematics Team.

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

Last year was also the team led by Cao Xin'an, with poor results, only two first prizes, and none for the provincial team.

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

Cao Xin'an's most proud record dates back to eight years ago, when he was still teaching in Nangang No. 2 Middle School before retiring.

There were a lot of talented players in that year, all of them won the first prize, and half of them made it to the provincial team line. The best prodigy was finally selected for the national team of the Mathematical Olympiad that year. He represented China in the United States and won the IMO gold medal. He was recommended to Shuimu University and is now studying at Trinity College in Cambridge, UK, studying for a doctorate.

In the past eight years, the overall level of mathematics in Nangang No. 2 Middle School has changed from prosperity to decline, which made Cao Xin'an very unwilling. He only had one wish when he was rehired, to send another student to the national team before he died.

However, the overall competitive level of this year's digital competition team cannot satisfy Cao Xin'an. He is 64 years old and can't do it for a few years.

The only thing in this team that made Cao Xin'an slightly gratified was the captain Meng Tianqiang.

When Meng Tianqiang was a sophomore in high school last year, he participated in the Mathematical Federation and won the first prize, but he was at most at the level of the first prize in the province, and it was difficult to go to the provincial team line.

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