Chapter 296: Winning the Special Prize, Four Golds and One Silver (Update 1)

Jiang Fuyue's words were amplified through the speakers and echoed in every corner of the conference room.

It inevitably entered the ears of everyone present.

No one would have thought that the mistake Jiang Fuyue made was not in the problem-solving approach or the calculation steps, but in a small unit!

Hamasaki Chiba's eyes suddenly turned cold, and that baby face couldn't hide the sinister look he exuded at the moment.

The leader of Country R looked pale and sweated profusely.

Yan Zhenfeng and Qin Libin exchanged glances. "She's incredible! How did she find out such detailed information?"

Both emotional and proud.

Executive Chairman: "There are only two minutes left. Does Country R want to speak?"

The leader didn't speak.

Hamasaki Chiba began to flip through the test paper quickly, his burning eyes seemed to want to pierce through the pages.

Unfortunately, when the last second passed, no one could find any fault with Jiang Fuyue.

The Executive Chairman announced, “Time’s up.”

In the end, the special prize fell to Jiang Fuyue without any dispute.

But the girl smiled calmly, as if she had expected this result.

After the meeting, she left the hall with Yan Zhenfeng and Qin Libin.

In the corridor, I met the leader of Country R and Chiba Hamasaki walking towards me.

The leaders of both teams nodded in greeting, showing some courtesy and consensus, especially in front of so many people.

Team leader of Country R: "It was a wonderful match. Congratulations."

Yan Zhenfeng: "You guys are not bad either. You're guaranteed a perfect score and a gold medal."

Jiang Fuyue and Hamasaki Chiba's eyes met, and the baby face smiled again.

"You're very good," he said. "Not only did you manage to avoid all the traps, but you also managed to pull off a beautiful counterattack."

Jiang Fuyue narrowed her eyes slightly. "You're not bad either. You plan every step carefully, set traps everywhere, and use any means to achieve your goals. Unfortunately, I'm not like your previous competitors, who died or were injured. I guess you're disappointed, right?"

Hamasaki Chiba didn't deny it, nor was he stupid enough to nod.

Their eyes met, and it seemed like a long time had passed, but in fact, only five seconds had passed.

Yan Zhenfeng: "...Then we'll leave first."

The R country team leader extended a warm invitation: "Welcome to R country."

"If there's a chance. Goodbye."

Jiang Fuyue was the first to look away and followed Yan Zhenfeng and Qin Libin.

The moment they passed each other, she heard Hamasaki Chiba lower his voice -

"IPhO is over, but our competition has just begun. See you later."

Jiang Fu Yue didn't look away.

When we got back to the hotel, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

But no one in the team took a break. They all ran to Sun Qun's room to stay so that they could know the results first.

Sudden--

"The captain and the others are back!" Huo Fanjin stood up suddenly.

"Where? Who said that?"

Huo Fanjin shook his phone and said, "Sister Yue just replied to my WeChat."

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Sure enough, in less than a minute, Yan Zhenfeng pushed the door open and walked in.

"Hey, why are you all crowded together?"

"Professor Yan, what's the result?" Huo Fanjin was the closest and rushed over like a monkey, his eyes full of anticipation. "Did the captain get the special award?"

"What do you think?" Yan Zhenfeng kept the question in suspense, but the smile on his face betrayed him.

"Ahhhh——" Huo Fanjin screamed frantically, "Did you get it?!"

Yan Zhenfeng did not deny it.

"I really got it! Oh my God! Gold medal plus special prize, Sister Yue is so awesome!" She was so happy as if she had won the award herself, no, she was even more excited than if she had won the award herself.

Although the others were not as exaggerated as her, they also stared at Yan Zhenfeng with fiery eyes.

"Okay, enough teasing, congratulations to Jiang Fuyue for winning the perfect score gold medal and the special prize!"

Lin Shumo curled the corners of his mouth. She really has one.

Ling Xuan looked at Jiang Fuyue who came in later and was not in good condition, and the two small flames in his eyes burned more and more vigorously.

"Sister Yue is amazing!" Fang Canyang wanted to applaud, but his left hand was still injured and he didn't dare to applaud too hard. "Edmund and Hamasaki Chiba, they all have to stand aside!"

The one who made the most noise was Sun Qun, who fell directly from the edge of the bed to the ground. The next second, he quickly got up and asked, "Did you really get it?"

Fang Canyang nodded: "Professor Sun, it's true."

"I want Lao Qin to speak."

Qin Libin, whose name was called, looked helpless as he spoke each word with pause, "It's true. All three students in your group won gold medals, and Jiang Fuyue even won a special award with a perfect score. Are you satisfied?"

"Hahaha! The one who knows me best is Lao Qin. I couldn't be more satisfied!"

Lin Shumo and Ling Xuan looked at each other. The three students in Professor Sun’s group… included them.

so……

Yan Zhenfeng stepped forward and patted them on the shoulders: "Congratulations, you both won gold medals."

The two even had the same score, 48.

"What about me? What about me?" Huo Fanjin couldn't wait, "Can I get a brand?"

According to the regulations, the average points of the top three players will be counted as 100%.

The first place is Jiang Fuyue and Hamasaki Chiba, with a score of 50, and the third place is Edmund, with a score of 49.

The average of the three is 49.7.

If the score is 44.7 or above, you will win a first-class gold medal; if the score is between 44.7 and 38.8, you will win a second-class silver medal; if the score is between 38.8 and 32.3, you will win a third-class bronze medal; if the score is between 32.3 and 24.8, you will win a commendation award; if the score is below 24.8, only a participation certificate will be issued.

Huo Fanjin's score was just 39, just barely missing the second prize.

"So," she swallowed hard, her eyes widening in disbelief, "I won the silver medal?"

Yan Zhenfeng nodded.

"I actually won the silver medal? Am I dreaming? Fang Canyang, come here, I'm going to pinch you!"

Fang Canyang shook his head like a rattle and hid behind Jiang Fuyue.

Huo Fanjin wasn't angry. He backhanded himself and hit his arm: "Hiss! It hurts, it hurts—so this is true? I really won the silver medal?!"

"I thought I'd be thankful for a bronze medal at best, but I didn't expect..." She actually started to cry. "No kidding, seriously, I never thought... Every time after the exam, I was extremely worried, afraid that I would hold everyone back. Even though I'm still holding everyone back now, with all of you holding gold medals and me only a small silver, at least it wasn't that bad, right?"

"Pfft——" Sun Qun couldn't help but laughed out loud.

Lin Shumo glanced at her and said, "You are quite self-aware."

Fang Canyang shyly poked his head out from behind Jiang Fuyue and said, "Not everyone won a gold medal. I don't know the results yet. Maybe I'm holding everyone back."

"No," Qin Libin said calmly, "Your total score is 48, the same as Lin Shumo and Ling Xuan, all gold medals."

Fang Canyang was stunned.

Huo Fanjin exclaimed, "Sure enough, I'm the one holding back. But, but I'm quite satisfied with this result. I can't get a higher score..."

Yan Zhenfeng's mouth twitched. "We're all a team. If you're not dragging us down, you've performed normally. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll definitely secure first place in the overall team score this time!"

Huo Fanjin immediately jumped up and cheered loudly, with tears on her face, crying and laughing.

Fang Canyang was still in a daze.

How could he have gotten the same score as Lin Shumo and Ling Xuan? It was clear that their training results were much better than his, and they were also faster at solving problems.

"Professor Yan, I..." He looked confused. "I really got 48? Are you sure?"

"I don't have Alzheimer's, so why can't I remember two digits?"

"No...I...no, that's not...what I meant..." He tried to explain awkwardly, but after a long while, his face flushed red and his stuttering problem came back again.

"How...how is this possible...? I..."

Yan Zhenfeng patted his shoulder and called his name solemnly: "Fang Canyang."

"ah?"

"You are great, have confidence in yourself."

This is not consolation or courtesy, but the truth.

It's not surprising that Jiang Fuyue scored full marks and won a special prize; there's nothing surprising about Ling Xuan and Lin Shumo getting high scores.

Because these three players have sufficient strength, their on-the-spot performance level has gradually stabilized through repeated simulation exercises.

But Fang Canyang is not like that.

When he first joined the camp, he was not outstanding at all; after a period of training, he began to show his potential; then, he successfully joined the national team; then, in the subsequent training, he improved at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although not as amazing as Jiang Fuyue and others, he was still remarkable.

The current achievement is the final result of long-term accumulation.

If I have to use one word to describe Fang Canyang’s condition, it would be - stable!

Take one step at a time, steadily and steadily.

At this point, the results of the Chinese team have all been announced, with four golds and one silver, and they also won a special award with full marks!

It can be said to be a great harvest.

That night, Yan Zhenfeng reported the news to his superiors by phone, and they said "OK" three times.

The sixth day passed in this way, full of ups and downs and joy.

…

Country D time, 11 o'clock at night.

After more than twenty hours of flight, uncle and nephew Zhong Ziang and Xie Dingyuan finally landed.

The first update is 3,000 words, and the second update will be at 12 o'clock.
