Ning Qingyun couldn't help but think, they all say words are like people, this guy's words are correct, but why is he always frivolous and careless, looking like a scoundrel?

The girl's confused eyes reflected these lines of writing in her heart, and she didn't notice that it was the first time that she had become curious and inquiring about a boy, just like her heart that had been beating faster for no reason just now.

It is fleeting, but that feeling silently settles into the bottom of my heart. Maybe one day it will accumulate into a heart-warming and sad seed that will quietly sprout.

…

While Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were exchanging Mathematical Olympiad exercises, in a conference room somewhere in the school's teaching building, all the high school mathematics teachers were gathered together urgently and were whispering to each other without knowing why.

"What's going on? I heard that the principal suddenly called everyone for a meeting so late?"

"That's right, it's almost nine o'clock in the evening. It's been a long time since I've held an emergency meeting at this time."

"I don't know. I heard that the principal just came back from a business trip. His face was a bit ugly and he seemed very annoyed."

"Stop guessing, you'll find out later."

A few minutes later, Vice Principal Wen, who was in charge of mathematics teaching, strode in. He was nearly fifty years old, but his temples were already frosty. At this time, his face, which was already serious and stern, was tense, and his expression was really gloomy.

, with a cigarette still in his mouth - anyone familiar with Vice Principal Wen knows that he only smokes when he is in a very unhappy mood.

Everyone held their breath, not daring to make any noise to offend Vice Principal Wen.

Vice Principal Wen pressed the cigarette butt in his mouth firmly into the ashtray and extinguished it, then said in a muffled voice: "Everyone is here? Let's have a meeting."

He looked around at all the teachers: "I've called everyone here tonight to inform you of the latest news about the Mathematical Olympiad."

Everyone's mind suddenly clicked, Mathematical Olympiad? Isn't it the same every year? Are there any changes this year?

"The first thing is that the questions in this year's municipal Olympiad will be more difficult."

Vice Principal Wen never sat down. He faced the curious eyes of the teachers: "This is the latest document requirement just issued by the superiors. Recently, our high school students have not achieved any good rankings in international Mathematical Olympiad competitions. The same is true of the superiors.

I’m anxious, this time we have to start from the source and raise the threshold for entering the provincial competition, and the difficulty of the city competition will naturally increase.”

"I heard that in this city competition, not only did the number of questions triple, but there was also an additional question. The provincial expert database added two big questions, which are at least as difficult as the semi-finals!"

The teachers couldn't help but change their expressions. Most of them were veterans. If the original difficulty level of the city-level preliminary competition was two stars, then the difficulty level of the semi-finals was four stars. This quasi-difficulty level of the semi-finals was at least equivalent to three stars!

Originally, the Mathematical Olympiad results of Sakura Garden Private High School have been relatively poor in recent years. As soon as the additional papers were added, the odds of winning were greatly reduced again. What a waste!

Before anyone could speak, Vice Principal Wen continued: "There is another matter, which is about Chengkong High School."

His voice was bitter, implying suppressed anger:

"I just found out tonight that Chengkong secretly recruited five top math students from other cities to their school at a high price. All the procedures were completed last week!"

"These five top students in mathematics were all among the top ten in last year's provincial competition, including Quan Wenyan who ranked first in the provincial competition, Hong Xingwei who ranked third, and Chi Jiamu who ranked fourth! These

Students will all participate in the municipal preliminary competition of this Mathematical Olympiad!"

The mathematics teachers present could no longer sit still. They all stood up with a roar, and everyone was angry.

Isn’t this cheating? And it’s extremely shameless cheating!

Last year, Chen Hanyin from Chengkong had already won the second place in the provincial competition. This time, together with Quan Wenyan, Hong Xingwei and Chi Jiamu, the top four in last year's provincial competition were all gathered in Chengkong. Wouldn't they give it to other high schools?

A way to survive?

"Is this a violation of regulations? How about we complain to the organizing committee?" A young mathematics teacher angrily shouted at the incident.

The head of the mathematics department in the third year of high school shook his head and sighed: "It's useless. The city-level Math Olympiad only looks at student status. As long as the student status is in the city and there is a registration form reviewed by the school, you can participate. Chengkong's doing this is not against the rules. It's just

It’s just not moral.”

"I didn't expect them to make such a bold and generous move for this Mathematical Olympiad preliminary round! Even Quan Wenyan dared to poach him!"

He couldn't help but sigh that other top students were fine, but Quan Wenyan was a notoriously problematic student.

This student is certainly a genius. He has won awards in various competitions since childhood. Last year, he also won the first place in the provincial level in the three Olympiads in mathematics, physics, and chemistry.

But I don’t know if he was spoiled since he was a child. Quan Wenyan has an extremely arrogant personality. No one takes him seriously. He even dares to slap the teacher openly when he gets angry.

I heard that he did something very extreme last year. A girl from the same school just refused to eat with him, so he pushed her to the ground and cut her hair into pieces with scissors... The girl was frightened ever since.

I suffered from psychological trauma and finally had to drop out of school.

But Quan Wenyan was only given a mild "warning" and continued to be treated as a treasure by the school.

Chengkong actually dared to poach such a "notorious" problem student! Obviously, he did not hesitate to get good results in this Mathematical Olympiad.

Vice Principal Wen gritted his teeth and said, "I heard that they are already making banners in advance. The content is, 'The high school Olympiad will be empty, and all other schools will be empty!'"

What a big statement, this Chengkong High School directly regards the top five in the municipal Mathematical Olympiad as its prize!

Everyone was shocked and angry, but at a loss what to do.

Vice Principal Wen's sharp eyes swept over the crowd: "Most of you are veterans of Yingyuan. Please give me some advice. How many students have the chance to enter the top ten in the city competition? I don't expect to be in the top five this time.

But you have to get two or three in the top ten, right? Like last year, only Ning Qingyun was in the top ten, so where can we put the face of Yingyuan!"

All the teachers looked away, not daring to make eye contact with Vice Principal Wen.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Vice Principal Wen’s eyes fell on Zheng, the leader of the high school mathematics subject group, and Cai Jiansen, the deputy leader next to him, lowered his head in gloating.

Lao Zheng had to bite the bullet and replied: "Qin Ke can definitely be counted as one, Ning Qingyun... there is hope even if we work hard."

"Okay, then we can guarantee the first one and the second one." Vice Principal Wen turned his attention to the leader of the mathematics subject of the senior high school students: "There are no top-notch newcomers in the higher grade, so I don't count on it. Can you give it to me in the third grade?"

Find someone?"

The leader of the senior high school mathematics subject group was sweating on his forehead and gritted his teeth and said: "Tomorrow's Mathematical Olympiad training, I will definitely select the best senior high school students to participate in this Olympiad."

Vice Principal Wen's expression softened slightly, and he said solemnly: "I will go and see for myself tomorrow. There are currently fifty-nine people in the training class?"

Lao Zheng hurriedly said: "Qin Ke was temporarily added, and there are currently sixty people."

"There are only sixty people..." Vice Principal Wen's eyes fell into the deep night outside the window, and after a while he said in a hoarse voice:

"Twenty years ago, when I first came to this school as the dean, we in Yingyuan had 60 places to participate in the Mathematical Olympiad. Unexpectedly, twenty years later, the Mathematical Olympiad Organizing Committee has given us only 60 places to participate in the Mathematical Olympiad in Yingyuan.

Twenty-five years old. As the vice principal in charge of mathematics teaching, I...I am so ashamed!"

Seeing Vice Principal Wen's desolate expression, everyone felt extremely uncomfortable.

The total number of registration places for the Mathematical Olympiad is constant. Which high school has a better Mathematical Olympiad score, will be able to occupy more places in the following year, and vice versa.

In the past few years, Chengkong has become a new force, and Sakurazono’s Mathematical Olympiad quota has been taken away by Chengkong. This year, Chengkong has fifty registration places, twice as many as Sakurazono!

"If Yingyuan's Mathematical Olympiad results still don't improve this time, I won't be able to be the vice principal anymore. I will submit my resignation to the board of directors." Vice Principal Wen's voice was slow and tragic.

the breath.
