I’m Really a Superstar

(www.du, no pop-ups to read the full text)

A platform somewhere in the mountains.

The sun gradually rises, the pine forest is green, and the small trees are sprouting.

The competition venue for the annual World Youth Mathematics Competition has arrived. The rented venue is very large. There is a "no pass" line outside the competition area on the inner floor. Tourists outside cannot see the conditions of the competition venue. It is still close. It is far away, but it is not empty and there is nothing outside. As a world competition, the host Republic is the favorite to win the championship, so it naturally attracts a lot of attention. Otherwise, it would not be rented to the Summer Palace as a venue. , in addition to a large number of Chinese and foreign tourists, relatives, friends or school teachers of contestants from various schools, many media reporters also came to the scene, and many small games about mathematics were played outside the competition area.

Question boards are placed one by one in the forest, and some are even hung on pine trees and rockeries. Many of the more difficult questions have small prizes for visitors to participate.

Such as Sudoku.

For example, Jiugongge.

Such as quick calculation and so on.

When Zhang Ye and Lao Wu came up the mountain and saw reporters there, they naturally separated their hands. In such a situation where there are cameras, they must keep a low profile as much as possible.

A female tourist said: "Is it so lively?"

"Mom, I also want to play math games," the little boy said.

An old man looked at the field and said, "It was the United States that won the championship last time, right? I don't know how the boys from our Republic are doing this time."

A young man said: "The champion definitely belongs to us."

Many foreign tourists were also talking, but they couldn't understand what they said, including black people.

There were so many people there that Zhang Ye and the others did not go inside. Instead, they stopped on the hillside where the pine forest and bamboo forest meet at the outermost edge. Wu Zeqing sent a text message to Xin Ya.

Not long after, Wu Zeqing said: "Here we come."

Zhang Ye looked for it, "Which one?"

Wu Zeqing took his chin and pointed, "The one with black-rimmed glasses."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xinya who squeezed out from over there also saw her, smiled and waved, "Old Wu."

She is not tall, and her appearance is pretty average. Her hair is a little sparse, which may be in line with the old saying that a smart head does not grow hair. Anyway, she is not particularly beautiful, but she still has a good temperament, and her eyes are very intelligent. , which is different from the image of a mathematician in Zhang Ye's impression.

Wu Zeqing spoke to her from a long distance away, "Why didn't you go in?"

"The team leader is here, as well as your Xiao Han from the Mathematics Department of Peking University. The venue was too stuffy, so I came out." Xinya said with a smile.

Wu Zeqing asked: "Xiao Han?"

"Han Henian, the one who posted a Weibo woo to you this morning." Xinya said, "He is also among the teachers leading the team in the Republic this time. He is an observer."

Lao Wu used to be the vice president of Peking University, and Han Henian was a teacher in the Department of Mathematics of Peking University. Although he has made some achievements in the past few years, he is just a rising star in the domestic mathematics community. He has not much interaction with Lao Wu, and he is not very popular. On one level, Wu Zeqing probably wasn't very familiar with him, and even if he met in person, he might not know him. But Zhang Ye had already remembered this name, and he could never forget the name of every love rival. Are you still chasing my old Wu with acrostic poems? Humph, Zhang Ye, who is morally corrupt, is naturally full of malice toward these love rivals and is completely unkind to them.

People squeezed left and right, and finally came closer.

Xinya stopped and her extremely curious eyes suddenly fell on Zhang Ye, "Hey, you are wearing too many clothes, you can't even see your face."

"Professor Xin, hello." Zhang Ye's eyelids twitched and he stretched out his hand.

"Are you young enough?" Xinya shook hands with him, then looked to the side with a half-smile, "Tell me, what is your relationship? When did it start?"

Wu Zeqing smiled, "You can guess for yourself."

"How old is he?" Xin Ya asked curiously.

Wu Zeqing said: "More than twenty."

Xin Ya said: "So young? Sister Wu, you are an old cow eating young grass?"

Wu Zeqing smiled and said, "You, a dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth."

Xin Ya said, "I'm really curious. I've never seen you fall in love in so many years. I thought you would be alone all your life. Now that you suddenly bring someone here, I'm really not used to it, and I feel uncomfortable." Show it, you have to let me see your true face." He looked at Zhang Ye's face again.

"There are too many people and there are reporters, so it's inconvenient." Wu Zeqing smiled and said, "I'll show you when there's no one around."

Xinya wondered: "What's wrong with the crowd? You're not a big star, who pays attention to you? You're a single, middle-aged and elderly woman, why are you afraid of scandals?"

Zhang Ye rolled his eyes, who is this middle-aged and elderly woman?

Wu Zeqing shook his head and said with a smile: "You are only one and a half years younger than me, and you are still talking about me? Haha, your mouth has never been soft since you were young." Then he looked at Zhang Ye, "You guys The two of you are so good at talking, one day we can compete with each other." Then he said to Xin Ya: "But, your mouth is probably not as good as Xiao Zhang's.

Zhang Ye said nothing and was relatively quiet.

Xinya yelled, "What do you mean, let me hear it? Does anyone dare to talk to me? Although I am engaged in mathematics, I have never lost my temper with scolding people. Your friend looks at it, he is quite introverted, really not You can see how talkative she is." She was very strong-willed, but she was really unconvinced.

Zhang Ye smiled and spread his hands, "Old Wu, you are just bragging to me."

Talking nonsense? How could Zhang Ye lose to her? For him, this mouth is his job, and he is the one who feeds him. He is professional and professional. If it had been before, in another place, with another person, Zhang Ye would have had to argue a lot, but today he was very humble and low-key.

Today's Zhang Ye is simply a gentleman. One is elegant, the other is cultivated. Zhang Ye estimates that he has never been so upright since he was a child. There is no way, in front of Old Wu, Zhang Ye is a jerk - he can't stand up. , always want to show her the best side of himself, instead of following the ordinary image in front of others. He thinks this is true love. He has met so many people from birth to now, and sometimes even his father He didn't listen to what his mother said, but only Lao Wu could hold him. It was like Sun Wukong met Tathagata Buddha, or a tech geek met. Lao Wu is like a gentle sea. Zhang Ye has fallen into it now and can't get out no matter how hard he flutters.

Xinya asked, "What industry are you in?"

Wu Zeqing said for him, "Teacher from my school."

"Also from Peking University?" Xinya asked with interest: "What major?"

This time it was Zhang Ye who said, "Chinese Department."

Xin Ya smiled and said: "Our majors are natural enemies."

The Department of Mathematics and the Department of Chinese Language and Literature are indeed on the opposite side of the world, and there is a bit of a gap between them.

After chatting for a while, Xinya suddenly discovered something else. She stared at the mutton-fat jade bracelet on Zhang Ye's wrist in surprise, "Huh? Old Wu, my sister Wu, you have treated your father for more than ten years Have you given away all the bracelets I gave you before? Oh my, are you really attracted to me?"

Wu Zeqing said helplessly: "Don't shout everywhere, you are the only one with the loudest voice."

"I'm surprised." After wearing it for two days, you told me not to break it, okay, now you just give it away?"

Wu Zeqing tightened his coat and smiled, "It's just a small object. Don't tell anyone about it. Keep it a secret."

"I know, I don't understand this." Xinya asked again, "What did he give you as a token of love? Come on, take it out and show it to me."

Wu Zeqing was about to say.

Zhang Ye knew that Lao Wu wanted to get him back, but he didn't think it was necessary, so he told the truth and said awkwardly: "I haven't had time to give it to him yet. I'm thinking about what to give it. Can you give me some advice?"

Xin Ya smiled and said: "Sister Wu, she only likes jade, jade, and the like. Women all love this."

Wu Zeqing smiled and shook his head, "I don't like these anymore."

Xinya glanced at her with disdain, "Don't come here."

Zhang Ye knew in his heart that Old Wu knew that he had no money now, so he said this on purpose. He was afraid that he would be under too much pressure. Otherwise, he would not have suggested that he only wanted a small handicraft before. Old Wu was the kind of person who wanted it from the bottom of his heart. A very considerate classical beauty. If she hadn't been like this, Zhang Ye wouldn't have been able to admire her so much. Celebrity calligraphy and painting? Old Wu does like it, but it obviously can't be used as a love token. It's not that kind of thing. Xin Ya's words gave Zhang Ye a hint, jade? Jade? Or diamonds? Well, I have to get one for Old Wu. He gave me the mutton-fat jade that he has treasured for more than ten years. If Zhang Ye doesn't show his appreciation, that's not his style.

The three of them chatted together.

At first, Zhang Ye and Xin Ya were not familiar with each other, so they didn't talk much. Later, they chatted more and became chatty. Not long after, someone else joined in.

A young woman came up and said, "Hey, is this Principal Wu?"

Wu Zeqing took off his sunglasses and asked, "Director Chen?"

Xinya also knew her, "Director Chen is here too?"

"Professor Xin, aren't you the deputy team leader? Why are you outside?" Another person from the Mathematics Association came over, "Is the competition almost over?"

Xinya looked at her watch and said, "It should be soon."

The middle-aged man from the Mathematics Association asked: "Principal Wu is here to help out today?"

Wu Zeqing smiled and said, "I happened to pass by and caught up."

A mathematician in his thirties also walked up. He wore glasses, had a shaved head, and was dressed a bit rigidly. He didn't even look at Wu Zeqing, a beautiful woman, and was talking to Xin Ya, "Professor Xin, I I did a project with students, and there was a question about function simplification. I have to ask you for advice later."

Xin Ya smiled and said: "Okay, let's wait until the game is over."

As they talked, a small circle suddenly formed here, and they started chatting.

They are all elites and professors in the domestic mathematics or education circles. Wu Zeqing may not be familiar with them, but they obviously know Wu Zeqing. He is a famous figure in the education world and the vice president of the first university in the country. Ordinary people may not know Wu Zeqing. Too familiar, but everyone in the circle knows him.

Immediately, several people from the media over there also noticed Wu Zeqing, who had taken off his sunglasses. As the vice president of Peking University, Wu Zeqing should be the highest-ranking person present at such an international competition. Naturally, it is worth it. I wanted to do an interview, so reporters and cameras from several TV stations or newspapers came over.

"Principal Wu."

"I'm from Tianjin newspaper."

"I am from the Beijing Times, can I be interviewed?"

A group of people engaged in mathematics and geometry were chatting about academic issues, and reporters trespassed in. Zhang Ye naturally seemed a bit redundant here. He couldn't get in the conversation and had no interest in interjecting. So, Zhang Ye didn't say anything and remained silent. Go away and wander elsewhere by yourself.

Wu Zeqing, who was being interviewed, glanced sideways at Zhang Ye, then withdrew his gaze, and continued to talk to the reporter in an official tone: "For these motivated young scientists, we want to..."

A mathematician also noticed Zhang Ye who had been standing next to Wu Zeqing just now. He asked Xin Ya: "Whose student is this person?"

Xinya didn't say much, "I'm also a teacher. We just met and we chatted for a few words."

The man was surprised, "Have you never seen him?"

"Teacher from the Chinese Department." Xinya added.

The man suddenly said, "Oh, why don't you know me?"

Then no one paid attention to Zhang Ye anymore, and no one thought he came with Wu Zeqing.

Tens of meters away.

Zhang Ye strolled to the game answering area and looked at the tourists gathered around in groups to calculate the questions. He thought it was fun for a while.

"Ah, I got it right."

"Kid, you are so smart."

"Are there any gifts?"

"Yes, I'll give you a little bear."

There are some young men and women standing next to each question board. They are probably college students in the mathematics department of universities and are here to serve as volunteers.

Zhang Ye read the questions one by one. Finally, he saw a more difficult question at the end. The gift for this question was a mobile phone. I had never heard of the brand. It should be a relatively good mobile phone brand in the world. Zhang Ye thought It’s time to replace my mobile phone with a new one, but I’ve been short of money recently, so I decided to give it a try and walked up.

Xin Ya followed behind, "Haha, what's your last name?"

Zhang Ye turned around and said, "My surname is Zhang, my bow is Zhang."

Xinya looked at the topic Zhang Ye was looking at before, "What? Are you also interested in our mathematics?"

"It's not bad." Zhang Ye said.

Xin Ya said: "This question is not easy."

This is a quick math problem, multiply 438l by b257.

This kind of question may be difficult for ordinary people and requires the use of a calculator, but for people majoring in mathematics, it is relatively easy because there are methods to split it and there are formulas. However, this five-level question It is a quick calculation of digits, and it is a question that is difficult to separate numbers. Even ordinary mathematicians will need a certain amount of time to solve it, and they will probably have to do the math in writing.

The requirement for this question is mental arithmetic and the answer should be within half a minute.

Zhang Ye stood in front of the question board. After looking at it for a few seconds, he asked the female college student with her staff ID hanging next to her: "Do you have a pen?"

"Here." The volunteer handed him a water pen.

Zhang Ye raised his hand and wrote: 3676297.

The volunteer was stunned.

Xin Ya behind was also slightly stunned.

Zhang Ye asked, "Is it right?"

"Uh, right." The female volunteer nodded.

Zhang Ye coughed and stretched out his hand, "Is the phone mine now?"

The female volunteer shook her head, "No, using a calculator doesn't count. You have to do mental calculations."

Zhang Ye fainted: "I'm just doing mental arithmetic."

The female volunteer was also very upright and shook her head repeatedly, "You have only looked at it for a few seconds. Unless you are a top mathematician or mental arithmetic master in the country, it is impossible to answer the question. You must have picked up your phone first when you were far away. I figured it out and wrote down the answer, but this doesn’t count.”

Zhang Ye fainted again, "I really figured it out myself."

Xinya was also happy when she saw this. She asked herself that if she had to solve this problem for herself, she would not be able to be faster than Zhang Ye without preparation. She would even be much slower than him. After all, her main focus is not on mental arithmetic, so naturally Knowing that Zhang Ye was using the calculator software on his phone opportunistically, he said, "Okay, Teacher Zhang, as a teacher of the Chinese Department and a great people's teacher, please stop teasing other girls."

your sister

Who am I kidding? I'm serious. Haha, bro, I haven't been able to reason with you yet.

Over there, Wu Zeqing came over after finishing the interview.

Some other professors and teachers in the mathematics community saw the situation here and came forward together.

"What's wrong?" asked a person from the Mathematics Association.

"Hey, has anyone answered this question? I wanted to try it just now." A young mathematician asked curiously: "Who answered it? How long did it take?"

The female volunteer hurriedly pointed at Zhang Ye and said with a sad face: "This gentleman took a few seconds to write down the answer. I, I didn't give him a gift because I thought he calculated it with a calculator." There were three mobile phones in total. , the prizes given to the first three people to answer the questions correctly are not many, so naturally they cannot be given away randomly.

All the mathematicians looked at Zhang Ye.

The young mathematician said, "How many seconds? I can't even calculate it in seconds. This kind of number is difficult to split, and the amount of calculation is relatively large."

These questions are actually given by the organizers of their mathematics community. Everyone has an idea of ​​the difficulty of each question. Prizes are also given out according to the difficulty. We are all professionals in the mathematics community. We know that this question cannot be answered within ten seconds. It can be easily calculated.

When many Chinese and foreign tourists heard this, they all looked down upon Comrade Zhang.

Shame on you

It's such an embarrassment to our republic.

This is an international competition, and there are so many mathematicians from all over the world present. How dare you come up and receive the prize after finishing the calculation with a calculator? How shameless is this?

A mother covered her child's eyes and said, "Don't look at it. Don't imitate him in the future."

The little girl nodded seriously, "I know, Mom."

Zhang Ye: "..."

Xin Ya smiled and tried to help Zhang Ye. After all, he was her best friend's rumored boyfriend. She said, "Teacher Zhang is joking, right?"

Zhang Ye: "…………"

Zhang Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I'm kidding your sister.

Of course, Zhang Ye solved this problem by himself. He split it several times, tricked out two formulas, and did some mental calculations of superposition and multiplication several times before he solved such a problem. At first, this guy was a tough guy. He has more than 100 experience books on advanced mathematics skills. As a result, now, I answered the question based on my strength, but because I answered too quickly, this group of people thought that I was bragging?

I blow your sister

My mobile phone
