Starting from you are my glory

"Has the number of first prizes been determined?"

"Has the information on the list of the top four hundred been released?"

Since each province began to report scores of high school mathematics competitions in their provinces, staff at the headquarters of the Chinese Mathematical Society in Beijing have been working intensively every day to receive information, verify by phone, and compile statistics.

"Everything is done!" He breathed a long sigh of relief and handed the required data and manuscript to another staff member. He watched him run towards the complex building behind with a large pile of materials, feeling relaxed from the inside out. Feelings arise spontaneously.

"President, this is the information on the first prize winners of the high school mathematics competition in various provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities that have just been confirmed statistically." Knocking on the door of the president's office, the staff neatly stacked the materials on the desk and said, "There are also The bottom roll materials are all here."

"Thank you for your hard work." President Wang smiled and nodded his thanks. After the staff left the office, he picked up the phone and dialed the internal number.

"It's me. The results have been summarized. I'll notify the review team members and they will gather in conference room No. 10 for review in [-] minutes."

Conference Room No. [-] is the largest conference room in the entire Chinese Mathematical Society. It is spacious and open, and more importantly, the ventilation conditions are good. Otherwise, while waiting for the review, you would have a cigarette and I would have a smaller one in no time. The conference room was buried.

"Three days." Looking at all the members of the review team in Conference Room [-], President Wang clicked on the scroll on the table. "Three days later, the review opinions will be summarized and the first prize and first prize for each province, autonomous region and municipality will be determined this year." The overall list of the top [-] will be confirmed and notified to each mathematical society for commendation."

"Guaranteed to complete the task!" is a process that must be experienced every year. The three-day review is mainly to unify the judging standards and prevent problems such as less points being deducted due to personal factors.

After President Wang left the conference room, the sounds of pages being flipped, cigarettes being pulled out of the pack, lighters being pressed, and smoke being inhaled and exhaled became the mainstream in the conference room.

"Is there anything else you want to add?" Vice President Li, who is also the deputy leader of the review team, took off his glasses and asked, rubbing his eyes.

Three days passed quickly. The members of the review team, who were full of energy when they first entered the conference room, either had dark circles under their eyes or had a headache. If they weren't leaning on cigarettes, they might have fallen asleep at some point.

Although they can go back to rest, time is tight and the tasks are heavy. The members of the review team either lie down directly in the conference room or lie down on their chairs together. Now they are energetic people who can talk.

"Everything else is fine." A team member raised his hand holding a cigarette. His surname was Jiang, and he was responsible for reviewing and reviewing the Jiangsu Province test papers. "I have some interesting information about a student here."

As he said this, he dusted off the cigarette ashes on his body and handed over Yu Tu's information and test paper.

"Tell me about it." Vice President Li took the test paper in his hand and asked directly without looking through it: "What's the problem with the information?"

"No. 1 in Jiangsu Province, double perfect score." Teacher Jiang took another deep puff of cigarette, "My name is Yu Tu, a freshman in high school."

"They are not repeaters. They were promoted to the first year of high school after the high school entrance examination. They did not participate in their provincial preliminary examination. They were directly recommended by teachers with the right to recommend to participate in the main competition."

"So strong?" Vice President Li became interested and raised his eyebrows, "What do you think?"

"No. [-] in Jiangsu Province, included in the top [-] list." After taking the last puff of cigarette, Teacher Jiang slowly expressed his opinion, "Although this qualification is a bit flawed, it is not cheating or violating the rules. The results are definitely valid. Since it is effective, what should be given should be given according to the rules.”

"I have no objections here." Vice President Li thought for a while, "I will report to the president later. It should be fine."

"Come on, I don't have any more here." After finishing his cigarette and speaking, Teacher Jiang drooped his eyes and began to wake up half asleep.

"Is there anything else?" Vice President Li raised his voice and looked around at everyone in the conference room. No one answered, and some people even started to snore slightly.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, everyone." Vice President Li was not surprised. Everyone had really worked hard in the past three days. He sorted out the materials in his hands, got up and left the conference room.

"President." After knocking on the door, Vice President Li handed the materials to President Wang and said, "The review is over, it's all here."

"Thank you very much!" President Wang looked at the tired Vice President Li and solemnly thanked him: "Is there any special situation?"

"Jiangsu Province, No. 1 Yu Tu, a freshman in high school, participated with recommendation rights. He did not participate in the preliminary test. The process is a bit flawed, but our opinion is that it will not affect the results." Vice President Li reported to President Wang concisely.

"It's interesting. He's a good candidate." President Wang looked at Yu Tu's test paper carefully and nodded in agreement: "I agree with your opinion. There's no problem. Just give feedback to various local mathematical societies and education bureaus according to this list."

"Then I'll do it..." Vice President Li was about to take the materials, but President Wang waved his hand to signal him to stop.

"You all go back and rest. I will take care of this little matter."

"That's okay." Vice President Li didn't refuse. The three-day review was really too exhausting, so taking a quick rest was the right way to go.

Looking at Vice President Li walking out, President Wang picked up the phone.

"Come to my office."

. . .

The next day, today’s school was a bit unusual, because 5 minutes had passed since the first class, and Teacher Zhang hadn’t entered the class yet. This was really unusual for Teacher Zhang, who had never been late or even arrived early every time. rare.

"Keep quiet and study by yourself first." Yu Tu looked at the students in the class who started whispering, walked up to the podium and announced the start of self-study.

He turned around to look for Teacher Zhang. Unexpectedly, he searched around and couldn't find it. No, it should be said that except for the teachers in each class, he didn't see any other teachers in the teacher's office during the entire first year of high school.

A little confused, Yu Tu returned to the classroom and read a book by himself.

"What did Lao Ban say?" Li Ming saw that he had returned from the journey, put up his book, and asked in a low voice: "Is there something that delayed you?"

"Your book is turned upside down." Yu Tu helped Li Ming turn the book upside down, "I can't find Teacher Zhang, so study by yourself first."

"Oh."

Looking at Yu Tu who was immersed in the book, Li Ming took out a pen and paper and started transmitting the first wave of internal information.

"Yu Tu!" When the first class was halfway through, Teacher Zhang finally appeared. He stood at the door of the class and couldn't suppress his excitement. He waved and shouted: "Yu Tu, come on!"

Yu Tu stood up and walked out, and came to Teacher Zhang. Before he could speak, Teacher Zhang's face turned red and he slapped Yu Tu's arm hard, "Let's go! The principal wants to see you!"

"What? Yu Tu wants to see the principal?"

"What's wrong with the God of Study? Why does the principal want to see him?"

Teacher Zhang's voice was not concealed, and with his excitement, the whole class could hear his voice, and the discussion was like an exploding oil pan.

"Quiet!" Teacher Zhang then remembered that there were classmates in the class. He held Yu Tu's hand hard and pulled him to the podium. Looking at the students waiting to eat melon under the podium, Teacher Zhang took a deep breath. .

"In this high school mathematics competition, Yu Tu won the No. 1 position in the Jiangsu Province High School Mathematics Competition with the best results in both the first and second tests!"

"Everyone applaud!"

"Wow~"

"Crash!"

There was applause and exclamations, mixed with questions.

"What is a high school math competition?"

"Why divide it into a first trial and a second trial?"

"No. [-] in the province?! The God of Study is worthy of being the God of Study!"

"Hmph! I remember back then, when the God of Learning and I dominated the entire province!"

"Okay, everyone, be quiet." Although Teacher Zhang was excited, he still began to control everyone's emotions, "Yu Tu is also the only student from all provinces in the country who won the first prize as a freshman in high school!"

“The only one in the country!”

Even louder applause and cheers rang out, and Qiao Jingjing clapped her little hands vigorously, looking intently at Yu Tu, who was shining brightly on the podium.

Probably because he had been watching for a long time, Yu Tu's eyes suddenly met Qiao Jingjing's.

Congratulations, Teacher Yu.

Thank you for your support, classmate Qiao, how are you doing? Didn't it live up to your expectations?

No, even far beyond my imagination!
