Chapter 8: Full of shock, discovering a genius

After the last class in the morning, Jiang Fuyue and Wan Xiutong went to the cafeteria together.

As soon as I walked out of the classroom, I saw my homeroom teacher Xu Jing walking towards me. His expression seemed impatient, but also a bit suppressed excitement. In short, he was no longer as calm as usual.

"Hello, Teacher Xu!"

Sparse greetings rang out around him. Xu Jing nodded in response and walked straight to Jiang Fuyue.

"Why didn't you finish that proof?" he blurted out.

Everyone pricked up their ears.

What proof question?

Isn’t it normal that Jiang Fuyue didn’t finish writing?

The problem only arises after she finishes writing it, right?

The moment the head teacher approached, Wan Xiutong subconsciously tensed her scalp, froze in place and dared not breathe.

She is afraid of her teacher like a mouse is afraid of a cat.

But at this moment a voice suddenly sounded, "Teacher Xu, I haven't had lunch yet."

Wan Xiutong: “?”

Xu Jing: “?”

The crowd of onlookers: "?"

Jiang Fuyue added calmly, "I'm going to the cafeteria now."

Well……

It took Xu Jing a while to react. Was he dissatisfied with him being in the way?!

"Ahem..." He coughed lightly, acting like a class teacher, "No rush, come with me to the office first."

Jiang Fuyue was called away just like that.

"It's terrible! I'm going to be criticized again and I can't even eat."

"Old Xu is okay, he doesn't curse much."

"Did Jiang Fuyue hand in a blank paper again? I saw her sleeping during the exam..."

Grade Office.

"Eh? Old Xu, you finished eating so quickly?" The head teacher of Class 7 just stood up from his seat when he saw Xu Jing walking in. After he said that, he found that there was a female classmate following him.

He was a little surprised. You know, Xu Jing is a typical academic. His professional knowledge is impeccable and his teaching ability is obvious to all, but he just doesn't care much about class management.

Other class teachers invite parents every few days, but he prefers to "rule by doing nothing" and rarely calls students to his office. Today is something unusual!

But this female classmate looks quiet and gentle, she doesn't seem disobedient...

The head teacher of Class 7 sat back down, not even in a hurry to eat, just watching the fun!

Jiang Fuyue calmly watched as Xu Jing pulled out her test paper, spread it out, and then pointed at the additional question and asked, "Where are the steps in between? Why is there only an introduction and a conclusion?"

“I can’t write it down.”

There is not much space available for writing additional questions.

What's more, this question was added by Xu Jing on the spur of the moment and shouldn't have appeared here in the first place.

"You can prove it, right?" Xu Jing's eyes lit up.

Jiang Fuyue nodded: "Okay."

Because she couldn't write down the intermediate steps, she could only complete it on draft paper. Three self-proving theorems were used. In order to save space, she only presented the formulas in each self-proving process, followed by the conclusion. That's why Xu Jing asked about the intermediate steps.

And this is exactly the key point of this question!

Xu Jing was so anxious watching this that he wanted to go to the class and bring Jiang Fuyue over immediately.

Finally, the bell rang for the end of get out of class. Afraid that Jiang Fuyue would leave, he rushed to the classroom door to block her, which led to the previous scene.

"Write it out and let me see it!" Xu Jing pushed the draft paper and pen over, inexplicably excited.

If that was the case, he thought, he might have discovered a genius!

Jiang Fuyue didn't move.

"?"

"Teacher Xu, this question doesn't seem to be in the middle school exam syllabus." She laughed.

Xu Jing touched his nose, feeling guilty.

"If I remember correctly, this is the question you had on your draft paper yesterday, right?"

"Ahem..." Feeling even weaker.

Jiang Fuyue narrowed her eyes slightly and said affirmatively: "You did it on purpose."

"Oh, I just wanted to test everyone and see if anyone in the class can do it."

Jiang Fuyue asked back: "Have you done it?"

The huge office fell silent for a moment.

Even the head teacher of Class 7, who was watching from the sidelines, felt the awkwardness of being controlled.

It may have been only a few seconds, or maybe half a minute, before I heard Xu Jing's voice.

He said, “…No.”

"Oh." Jiang Fuyue didn't show much expression as she casually took out a ball of paper and said, "It's on here. Take a look for yourself. I'm going to eat first."

After saying that, he turned and left without caring whether Xu Jingtong agreed or not.

After everyone left, the head teacher of Class 7 popped his head over from the opposite side and said, "Old Xu, what's going on? Are these students from your class?"

The little girl was quite pretty, but how come he had no impression of her at all?

Without even raising his head, Xu Jing carefully unfolded and flattened the paper ball, scanning each step eagerly.

Then, the eyes became brighter and brighter...

"What does Teacher Xu want you to do? Have you been criticized?" Wan Xiutong asked in a low voice during lunch break.

"No."

She breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good..."

There was a physical education class in the afternoon, but Jiang Fuyue was unable to attend because she was called to Xu Jing's office again.

Bang——

A test paper was placed in front of her.

Xu Jing: "Forty minutes, do as much as you can. The timer is on!"

Jiang Fuyue paused, then picked up the pen.

It didn't take her forty minutes at all; she only spent half an hour returning the test paper to Xu Jing: "...What? You don't give me the answers after I finish it?"

Old Xu, who was still in a daze, immediately reacted: "Yes! Right now!"

Five minutes later.

"...Full marks?"

"Full marks."

The first one was Xu Jing, which was unbelievable; the second one was Jiang Fuyue, which was expected.

After reading the paper over and over again three times, not missing any details, Xu Jing was horrified to find that he could not find any mistakes at all. Even the "solution" for each question was written neatly, and there was no way to find any faults on the paper.

This was made right under his nose and received full marks, without any watering down!

Xu Jing was stunned, and then he was ecstatic: "Mr. Jiang, do you know IMO?!"

"International Mathematical Olympiad."

"Yes! You attended the training?!"

Jiang Fuyue shook her head: "No."

"It's okay. Listen to me," Xu Jing took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, but the look in his eyes as he looked at her still stirred a wave of emotion. He pointed at the test paper and said, "This is the prediction paper for last year's provincial finals. Although it's not as difficult as the real test, no one has ever scored a perfect score..."

There were no finalists who took this set of papers last year, and there were no finalists when he assigned it as homework in the Olympiad training class not long ago.

Even when he was doing it himself, he made mistakes.

It wasn't that the questions were difficult for Xu Jing, but that he had to complete the entire test paper within the specified time without making any mistakes and get full marks.

This is difficult!

But Jiang Fuyue did it!

And, it only took her thirty minutes!

Xu Jing saw with his own eyes that she wrote down the answers directly after reading the fill-in-the-blank and multiple-choice sections without having to do any calculations at all.

He once suspected that the other party was filling in the information randomly, but it turned out that the other party was so tough and got all the answers right!

"Student Jiang, you are very talented! Are you interested in joining the Olympiad class?" He spoke excitedly with a burning look in his eyes.
