Chapter 131: Chapter 85 Pre-determined Goals_2For the contestants from Xingnan Province this year, there’s an even harsher situation. Starting from the year before last, the mathematics competition level in Xingnan Province has already shown a general trend of decline, especially the proportion of people selected for the national mathematics training team has significantly decreased, so whether the Huaxia Mathematics Society will allocate as many spots to Xingnan Province as in previous years is in doubt this year. There’s nothing that can be done about it. Firstly, the Strong Base Plan replaced independent admissions, reducing the appeal of competitions for Xingnan students. After all, top universities like Huaqing and Yanbei, and strong second-tier universities like Shuangdan, Yu University, and Lin Jiao, don’t enroll many students from Xingnan Province each year. Secondly, the income level in Xingnan Province isn’t high enough to retain very high-quality coaches. The economically developed coastal areas of Huaxia are indeed willing to spend large sums of money to recruit nationally renowned senior international gold medal coaches from all over the country. Just like Li Xiaoyun from the Affiliated Middle School, who was originally just a teacher in the competition class, but after eight coaches were poached in recent years, he was promoted. "Hmm, this problem mainly tests the modulus and operations of negative numbers, as a classic max-min problem. When solving it, besides using recurrence formulas, you should try to understand its position on the complex plane through a combination of algebra and geometry. Cancel out projections on the real and imaginary axes, and you’ll get the result, hmm, zero should be the correct answer..." With not much time on the bus, Li Xiaoyun only briefly reviewed the exam questions, and some he still had to ponder himself, so he could only roughly explain some ideas. They were about to arrive at school like this, and everyone started discussing the difficulty of this competition. Except for Coach Li, everyone thought the competition questions this year were tougher than in previous years when someone gloomily said: "By the way, I ran into that Qiao Yu from Railway First Middle School today. He said this year’s questions were very easy, and scoring full marks wasn’t a problem." That one sentence suddenly cooled down the lively atmosphere of the discussion. Even Coach Li didn’t know what to say for a moment, staring at the student who spoke, asking: "Xiao Xiaozhuo, did Qiao Yu really say that?" "Yes, he also said he expected to be tied for first place because the questions were too easy, and he wasn’t sure if anyone else could get full marks." Xiao Xiaozhuo emphasized. "Cough cough, alright, although very few contestants in the league score full marks, it’s not unheard of. It’s normal for these talented individuals to find the questions easy. Don’t let these talent monsters interfere with everyone’s confidence. No matter how strong Qiao Yu is, he’s just one person. Xingnan Province should still have at least thirty or so spots for the national team, so don’t overthink it. Many of you will definitely have a chance to participate in the national competition. You still have to train intensively when returning. League scores don’t mean much; the finals’ scores determine whether you can enter the national training team." Li Xiaoyun encouraged. Of all people to encounter, why stumble upon that peculiar kid. The outside world might not know yet, but at least all the coaches in Star City’s math competition circle have heard about Qiao Yu’s dominating performance in the Little Alibaba finals. Although the math competition organized by Little Alibaba is completely different from the Olympic Competition, with completely different areas of focus. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But when it comes to mathematical talent, many things just click and connect. One can’t help but think it’s a waste of talent for such a student to be snatched away by Railway First Middle School. ... While others were still discussing Qiao Yu, he was already feeling a bit stuffed from his meal. It’s fair to say that Changjun really is one of the leading schools in Huaxia. Even the small restaurant making fried rice at the school gate tastes better than the restaurant at Railway First Middle School’s gate, and it only cost 18 yuan for two to be full. This probably explains why the canteens of Huaqing and Yanbei University are tastier and cheaper than those of ordinary universities. Perhaps excellent people in all fields unconsciously gather near prestigious schools? After eating and drinking his fill, Qiao Yu started daydreaming, since there’s nothing for him to think about afterward. It’s just being dragged around the pedestrian street by Xia Keke. In Qiao Yu’s view, Keke has been like this since childhood, enjoying shopping, but not necessarily buying anything, just looking around, and feeling very satisfied and happy. "Do you want milk tea?" "No, it’ll make me gain weight." "Then why did you drag me here?" "Look at those two lining up over there, the one in the white top and the one in the green dress." "What’s up with them?" "They’re my seniors in Changjun, both in their second year, they must be dating." Xia Keke said mysteriously. Qiao Yu glanced over again and then asked in shock: "Xia Keke, are you here to study at Changjun or to gossip? It’s only been a week, and you already know about someone dating? And in the second year? That’s cross-grade, isn’t it?" Xia Keke angrily turned back and glared at Qiao Yu, saying: "What do you know? I joined the music club, and the day before yesterday was the first club event. The senior and the senior are both veterans of our club, and I just happened to see them on a date together for the first time, okay." "Oh..." Qiao Yu nodded, accepted this explanation, then naturally pulled Xia Keke away, muttering: "So, don’t interact with seniors like that. High school is a time for studying, if you spend all your time dating, what about your scores? Just wait for two years and see, by then one of your seniors might be in Nanshui Province and the other in Beijiang Province. By the time it takes six or seven hours of flying to meet up, they’ll regret it."
