Hearing Huo Hailei's words, Tang Shuang couldn't help but ask: "The superiors attach great importance to it? Is it possible that this mathematics competition has any purpose?"
Mo Zeyuan looked at Huo Hailei with the same inquiry.
Huo Hailei pulled the two of them to the corner and said: "I heard that after winning the provincial competition, units will come to recruit people, but I don't know the specific situation. I just learned this from the teacher of the No. 1 Middle School in the city.
."
Tang Shuang raised her eyebrows when she heard this.
"For someone like me who is only in junior high school, there is no way for me to go directly to the workplace to work."
"This...I'm not very clear about this either."
Tang Shuang smiled and said: "We will know the specific situation when we win the prize in the provincial competition."
Seeing Tang Shuang's confident look, Huo Hailei couldn't help but smile, "Yes, you'll know when the time comes. Teacher believes in you. Come on, let's go back now and tell the principal the good news."
But before Tang Shuang and the others could go far, the teacher from No. 1 Middle School stopped them directly, "Teacher Huo, please stay."
Seeing the principal of No. 1 Middle School coming over, Huo Hailei smiled quickly and said, "Hello, Principal Qin."
"Hello, Teacher Huo."
After Qin Yongliang glanced at Huo Hailei, he immediately looked at Tang Shuang and Mo Zeyuan beside him. His eyes were full of complexity and envy. He never expected that both the junior high school group and the high school group of his school would lose in this math competition.
, no one got the first place, and they also lost the qualification to participate in the competition in the provincial capital.
"Teacher Huo, the math competition in the provincial capital is the day after tomorrow, so you should go directly there so as not to miss the time."
Hearing this, Huo Hailei's face was full of surprise, "What... the day after tomorrow, are you in such a hurry?" He really didn't know the news. If Qin Yongliang didn't tell him, he would have brought Tang Shuang and Mo Zeyuan with him today.
Back to town.
Qin Yongliang nodded and said: "Yes, it is indeed a bit rushed. After all, it is the first math competition after resuming school, so everyone attaches great importance to it."
"Principal Qin, thank you very much."
"You're welcome. I'll have someone buy you tickets later."
Huo Hailei waved his hands hurriedly when he heard this and said: "No, no, no, we will buy it ourselves."
"It's okay, I've already bought it, so you can just go there."
If Tang Shuang and Mo Zeyuan hadn't won first place, he wouldn't have mentioned the time of the provincial capital competition to Huo Hailei. Unfortunately... everything they did has become a joke now.
Huo Hailei: "..."
From this point of view, Principal Qin thought that their school would definitely win the first place, so he even bought the tickets. But now it is Tang Shuang and Mo Zeyuan from their Houshan Town No. 1 Middle School who won the first place. At this moment, Principal Qin’s
I feel very complicated.
Thinking of this, Huo Hailei suddenly felt like laughing. Tang Shuang and Mo Zeyuan were really embarrassment to their school, "Principal Qin, thank you very much, but I want to call our principal first. I don't know about your school."
If it's inconvenient, please let me make a call."
"Of course it's convenient."
Qin Yongliang took Tang Shuang and the others to the office, while Huo Hailei directly dialed the school phone number. After he told the good news, the principal was so happy that he couldn't find the answer. Finally, he waved his hand and said to Huo Hailei: "Huo Hailei
Teacher, when you go to the provincial capital this time, you must give classmates Tang Shuang and Mo Zeyuan a good make-up, take them to eat some delicious food, and find a better guest house to stay in. You must not treat them badly.
"
"Don't worry, principal, I will definitely make arrangements."
"Okay, okay, then I'll wait for you to come back from the provincial capital."
Huo Hailei repeated Tang Shuang's instructions again, "Principal, find someone to inform Tang Shuang and Mo Zeyuan's grandfather, Mr. Li, and tell him that it will be a few days before we can go back." He gave the address.
once.
"Don't worry, I will definitely inform you."
When Huo Hailei hung up the phone, he thanked Qin Yongliang again, and finally left the No. 1 Middle School with Tang Shuang and Mo Zeyuan.
"The shuttle bus to the provincial capital is at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, so we will stay in the guest house for one night and leave early tomorrow morning."
Neither of them had anything, so they went back to the guest house to rest with Huo Hailei.
Early the next morning, the three of them set out on the road to the provincial capital.
When she arrived at the Provincial No. 1 Middle School, Tang Shuang found that there were many people participating in the mathematics competition, and they were all students who had won first place in various cities.
"Shuang'er, just take the exam carefully and don't put too much mental burden on it."
Hearing Mo Zeyuan's words, Tang Shuang smiled and said, "Brother Mo, don't worry, I'm not nervous."
When Mo Zeyuan heard this, he smiled.
"That's good."
Seeing that Tang Shuang and Mo Zeyuan were not nervous, Huo Hailei couldn't help but smile and said: "It's good if you have this mentality. You will take the test slowly later. We are not in a hurry." He knew that Tang Shuang and Mo Zeyuan were not in a hurry.
He was very fast at answering questions, so he said this, and after he finished giving instructions, he walked back and forth nervously.
"Teacher Huo, you told us not to be nervous, but you got nervous first."
Seeing Tang Shuang joking, Huo Hailei couldn't help but said: "I don't want to be nervous, but this is a provincial competition. We in Houshan Town have never participated in this kind of competition before, so of course I am nervous."
Seeing that the exam time was coming, Tang Shuang and Mo Zeyuan walked to their respective classrooms.
After Tang Shuang got the test paper, she found that the difficulty had not been increased by a bit. Most of the questions were beyond the mathematics knowledge of junior high school, but they were not difficult for her. Thinking of the extremely smart persona she had established, Tang Shuang started to write directly.
, completed the question very smoothly.
Seeing that there was still a lot of time, Tang Shuang looked out the window in a daze.
The invigilator had noticed Tang Shuang a long time ago. When others were scratching their heads and answering the questions, she had already answered all the questions on the first page with a calm face. When others had struggled to finish the first page, she had already answered them.
After completing the questions on the last page, she has already finished it with more than half an hour left before the end of the exam. This student either doesn't know how to do random writing, or he knows how to do it.
However, the invigilator also had to supervise other students. When he saw Tang Shuang, he sat quietly and stopped looking at her.
By the time the exam was over, all students had handed in their test papers.
This time it is still the same as before, the results will be known in the afternoon.
When Huo Hailei saw Tang Shuang and Mo Zeyuan, he couldn't help but ask: "How...how did you do in the exam?"
"It's okay. The questions are not difficult."
Tang Shuang and Mo Zeyuan said in unison, then looked at each other and smiled.
When Huo Hailei heard this, his face was full of surprise, "Is it true, the question this time is not difficult?"
"Yes, it is indeed not difficult."
"That's good, that's good."
Huo Hailei knew that the two of them would not lie, so he felt relieved immediately.
When the results were announced in the afternoon, Huo Hailei sat nervously in his seat and muttered, "Win a prize, win a prize, second or third is good, first is the best."
Tang Shuang: "..."
Mo Zeyuan: "..."
"Teacher, actually... you don't have to be like this. Shuang'er and I should still have hope of winning the prize."
As soon as Mo Zeyuan finished speaking, the first place in the junior high school group was already read on the stage.
"Let us congratulate Tang Shuang, a student from Houshan Town No. 1 Middle School."
"Ah... the first place is still the first place!"
Huo Hailei stood up excitedly, hurriedly pulled Tang Shuang up and said: "Hurry... come on stage to receive the award."
Tang Shuang glanced at Huo Hailei helplessly, then went on stage to receive the award.
When he entered the high school category, Mo Zeyuan also won first place.
Huo Hailei was really happy now. A student from his school actually won the grand prize in the provincial competition, and his school was going to become famous.
Tang Shuang and Mo Zeyuan were quite calm. After receiving the awards, they planned to step down, but to their surprise, they were stopped directly.
