Chapter 152: Chapter 92: Reunion of Harmful FriendsFollowing the main group to report in feels quite different. For instance, there’s no need to negotiate anything yourself— as soon as we got off the train, the team leader was already matched with the staff who came to pick us up. Qiao Yu didn’t move forward, so he didn’t know the staff member’s surname, nor did he know whether Captain Luo, like Lan Jie, would start playing with puns on the spot. The vehicle that came to pick us up was a bus, the kind that can seat dozens of people, and it looked very impressive. There wasn’t much to say on the way to Luhai Middle School. For the campers, the most important task on the first day was to report in. After rushing to the hotel to check in, completing the procedures, and getting settled in the room, they were free to do as they pleased. The host’s room arrangements were quite thoughtful this time, mainly offering three types of rooms: single rooms, double rooms, and four-person rooms. Single rooms were naturally reserved for some special guests and provincial team leaders. Qiao Yu was assigned to a double room, so Lan Jie was naturally assigned to room with him. This once again proved the advantage of being first. Actually, this was the most hassle-free way of assigning rooms. Students who wanted to stay in a double room but didn’t get assigned one might just think to themselves, "So what if you scored high?" and let it go. Otherwise, even if the results were determined by a draw, if someone was dissatisfied, they might mumble about how the draw was rigged and then file a complaint... Instead, by assigning rooms based on competition results, those at the top can stay in double rooms while those at the back stay in four-person rooms. Even if there were complaints, they could be dismissed by saying it’s always been this way. What? Shouldn’t higher performing students with greater expectations enjoy better treatment? If you want to sleep in a double room, aim for first place next time. In short, putting these small matters out in the open protects everyone. Qiao Yu naturally had no objections to this. After registering, receiving his camper badge, and getting his room assigned, they had just put down their luggage when Yu Yongjun followed the scent and came over. "Hey, Qiao Yu, you’re in a double room too! Am I the only one in a four-person room? Oh, hello, Teacher Lan, you’re here too." The moment he entered, Little Fatty couldn’t help but complain. What Qiao Yu didn’t expect was that Yu Wei also followed behind this guy, though his expression still looked unenthusiastic, as if he’d been dragged along. Lan Jie wasn’t too surprised to see Yu Yongjun and Yu Wei. For a student who could win an award in the Little Alibaba Math Competition in eighth grade, not attending the CMO would be peculiar. Especially when a full-time Olympic Competition gold medal coach had always been with Yu Wei. Sёarch* The ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. I bet this guy’s goal is to participate in the IMO, which is normal. Linhai has been in a league of its own in the math competition circle these years. Mainly because they have too much money, those well-known private schools actually throw money around to recruit gold medal coaches. And the thing is, poaching these gold medal coaches actually makes money for them. Wealthy families willing to invest in training students for math competitions can even accept five-figure costs per session. There are families who invest tens, hundreds of thousands, or even millions in various training programs. At the very least, Lan Jie had heard of a famous piano teacher in Linhai charging six figures for a two-hour one-on-one tutoring session, and even then it required an introduction from someone familiar to take on new clients. If they opened up reservations, they wouldn’t even have enough time to fit them all in. Even moderately good private middle schools start at 50,000-60,000 yuan per semester, while top ones can exceed 100,000 per semester. As for top international school fees, ordinary people don’t even need to inquire. The poorest private schools still charge 10,000-20,000 yuan per semester, and that’s actually for poorer students. Such fees wouldn’t work in an economically average area. Of course, you can’t just envy these things. After all, there are many excellent universities around Linhai. Not to mention the local Shuangdan University, Coastal Transportation University, Tonglin University, and the famous East China Five Tigers... Let’s put it this way, of the top three universities in Huaxia, except for Huaqing and Yanbei which are overwhelmingly resourced, at least eight are located in or around Linhai, with the other eight mostly concentrated in Beijing. Yes, there are at least sixteen universities in China vying for that third place spot, and no one can refute it. These excellent universities recruit many local students, and competition students are naturally more favored. So getting a provincial second or third place in Linhai compared to doing the same in Xingnan is worlds apart in terms of significance. With money, motivation, and no shortage of talent, the momentum of competition development is naturally thriving, so you have no choice but to recognize it. ... "You want to stay in a double room? That’s simple," Qiao Yu casually said. "Hmm? Brother Qiao, you even have a solution for this?" Little Fatty was indeed interested. "Nonsense, just go to the hotel front desk and book one yourself. Not to mention a double room, even if you book a presidential suite, people can only envy how wealthy you are," Qiao Yu glanced at the fatty and said leisurely. It had been just over two months since they last met, and Yu Yongjun seemed to have grown even plumper. Isn’t it said that in Shuangqing, with all the hills, it’s impossible to gain weight? It seems like everything is false, only money and genes are real. A place with complex terrain that requires climbing up and down every day won’t stop a naturally plump person from gaining weight; it will only make a fatty with thicker legs. As for Yu Wei, he hadn’t changed much, still maintaining his cold demeanor.
