The students at Yueshan Academy were pretty good. After a few rounds, the questions were a bit tricky, and Chen Zhongqian also narrowly won. This was not because he deliberately let others down, but because he was really not good at it.
But fortunately, he never lost, and the bonus had accumulated to one thousand one hundred taels, and Lushan Ming was finally willing to raise his hand.
He didn't just wait until now for the high bonus, but he was also hesitating in his heart.
He thought that Chen Zhongqian had fallen behind him after dropping out of school in the past few years, but now it seems that Chen Zhongqian not only did not neglect his studies, but also became more diligent.
He and Chen Zhongqian were rivals before, but now it is like this. If he loses, he will have to apologize to him in public, and he will definitely lose face.
However, he also wanted to compete with Chen Zhongqian openly. If he won, there would be a generous bonus, which was worth a try.
Seeing that he was the one on the stage, Chen Zhongqian took a sip of tea. Lin Yuxi could see that he was starting to get a little nervous. Maybe for him, Lu Shanming, his old rival, was different from others.
The expressions of Dean Yue and several gentlemen are also worth studying. They have already debated among themselves who among the new batch of students is worthy enough to be trained by the dean himself. The most talked about ones are Chen Zhongqian and Lushan Ming.
.
Now these two are going to compete without any preparation. Isn’t the result exciting?
I’m really looking forward to it!
It was no different from the competition just now. The questions were randomly selected. During the rush to answer, the two answered almost at the same time. However, because Lushan Ming had just come on the stage and Chen Zhongqian had already adapted to the rhythm, Chen Zhongqian won the first question.
Lushan Ming came to his senses for the second question and answered quickly and well, winning the game.
In this extremely tense atmosphere, when it comes to the last question, the two people are now tied. It depends on whether Lushan Ming can win this question.
Everyone present was looking forward to it, and Lin Joy became nervous. However, she thought in her heart that it would not matter if Zhong Qian lost. The result of today's game had already explained the problem, and no one was blind.
Chen Zhongqian took a deep breath, and the title came out. It was to compose a poem on the spot, and both of their brains were working rapidly.
Chen Zhongqian finished it first, and Lushan Ming followed closely behind. However, such a topic itself is a lot of trouble, and several gentlemen need to vote to decide whose poem is better.
When the results came out, Chen Zhongqian narrowly won. Lin Yuxi clearly saw that he breathed a sigh of relief, and he also smiled knowingly. After all, he still won.
Chen Zhongqian won, but the victory was thrilling. Among so many rounds of competition, he only lost two questions to a few people, and won all five questions in the others. Except for Lushan Ming, the others were not freshmen.
Dean Yue nodded with satisfaction. He was more optimistic about Chen Zhongqian, and now his idea was verified.
"I lost. Your talent and learning are better than mine, but I will definitely work hard to catch up. This time I heard that you cheated and entered the academy. I didn't check the matter, but I firmly believed that you cheated. I apologize to you and also
Please forgive me." Lu Shanming was convinced of his defeat and did not feel regretful because Chen Zhongqian only narrowly won one question.
He was proud, but he also had a bottom line. If he was wrong, he was wrong. It turned out that bowing his head and apologizing in public was not as embarrassing as he thought.
Chen Zhongqian said, "You are a respectable opponent before, now and in the future."
Lu Shanming smiled and stepped down. Dean Yue asked again if there was anyone else who wanted to compete. He asked three times, but no one raised their hand. The competition ended here.
"From now on, I believe that Chen Zhongqian's knowledge no longer needs to be proven to anyone, and I don't want the students of Yueshan Academy to be jealous. Lushan Ming should set an example for everyone. Only by knowing how to admire your opponents can you go further.
, have you learned anything from this competition?"
Dean Yue felt like he was relieved. Although he had never expressed his intention to accept Chen Zhongqian as his direct disciple, he was indeed very interested in this student.
Some people accuse Chen Zhongqian of cheating, and they are also trying to discredit the Yueshan Academy.
In this way today, Chen Zhongqian proved himself and at the same time the innocence of Yueshan Academy. He was worthy of being his favorite student. He was really good.
The bonus has accumulated to one thousand one hundred and twenty taels. According to the rules, it all belongs to Chen Zhongqian.
All the students present were very envious. With these more than a thousand taels, Chen Zhongqian could study wherever he wanted. He was still in the limelight today, who could not be envious?
Wei Feng kept his promise and ordered someone to pack the silver and hand it over to Chen Zhongqian in public. Chen Zhongqian turned around and said a few words to Lin Yue, then took out a hundred taels of silver and handed the rest to Dean Yue.
"I donated these silver taels to Yueshan Academy. The academy has many students from poor families, and I support them on a selected basis. This can increase everyone's enthusiasm for learning, and can also help a little bit for students who are from poor families but are very talented. I also ask the academy to
Take it long."
Dean Yue is even more proud. Look, this is the student I like, how aware he is.
The students of the academy were shocked again. Although some people were jealous of Chen Zhongqian's limelight, they also supported his decision. After all, the money was given to the academy. As long as they work hard, everyone will have the opportunity to get it.
Chen Zhongqian's decision also reminded Dean Yue that there were indeed some students from poor families in the academy. Among the freshmen admitted this time, the poorest one was Liu Zhaofei, but he admired this student very much.
At this time, if tuition fees are directly exempted, students' self-esteem may not be able to survive. If, as Chen Zhongqian mentioned, they can be rewarded based on their abilities, this can stimulate students' enthusiasm and really help students who are talented but lack money at home.
"Okay, I would like to thank you for your donation on behalf of all the students. Yueshan Academy will also use the money to establish a reward system, hoping to help the students of the academy complete their studies." Dean Yue said this in public, that is, he will really consider it.
.
Many students' family conditions are very average. Now they see hope. They must study hard and do well in exams. Receiving a reward from the academy is not only an affirmation of their studies, but also reduces the burden on their families. Why not
Why?
After this competition, no one in the academy should dare to trouble Chen Zhongqian again. Not only did he make everyone speechless with his competition results, he also donated the competition prize money, which was recognized by the dean and all the students.
If anyone troubles Chen Zhongqian in the future, he will just keep his eyes open and wait to be scolded.
As for tuberculosis, everyone was skeptical at first. It didn't look like Chen Zhongqian had tuberculosis, not to mention that everyone around him was fine.
They held on to him. In fact, their main purpose was to think that he had cheated and wanted him to drop out of school. Under the current circumstances, no one mentioned it again.
