In the next few days, Lin Chaoxi never went to the computer room again.

It's not because she doesn't gossip anymore, she still really wants to know what happened between Sanwei University and Yongchuan University.

But she was too busy with her studies to spare the time to look these up.

In fact, they don’t have a lot of questions to solve every day, and there are no secret exams once a day like in elementary school.

Lao Lin's teaching plans always bear his personal style, emphasizing both basics and discussion.

There aren't that many difficult questions, but we spend more time sitting together and discussing the questions.

The junior high school students and high school students were divided into their own groups. After the high school students had threatened each other that evening and left with Liu Zhiyuan, the competitive spirit between the two groups became more obvious.

During class, there are several thinking questions every day. Everyone discusses them from morning to night, trying their best to be the first to solve the answer.

The high school students obviously had stronger opinions than the junior high school students, but for Lin Chaoxi and the others, there was almost no doubt who would be the first to answer.

But Pei Zhi never answered.

He often sat by the window alone, reading books borrowed from the library. Jie Ran didn't care about him, and neither did Teacher Wan. But every time a question came out, he would still patiently work on it for a while. Of course, his "for a while" was too short, and it couldn't be described as "patient" in any way.

Sometimes, Lin Chaoxi thought that Pei Zhi should actually be sitting in Yongchuan University with all the top high school students in the country, instead of sitting next to them, indifferent and quiet.

The day before the results of the mathematics league competition were announced, Liu Zhiyuan specifically reminded her of this.

Being held down on the desk with one hand and looking down at the words “the results will be out tomorrow”, Lin Chaoxi was also very shocked.

This is too childish, and haven't they already "kept their distance from each other" or in other words, "never had any contact with each other until they died"?

The girls around them all looked at her and Liu Zhiyuan with eyes that showed they were enjoying a good show.

What did she say?

--"oh."

Liu Zhiyuan's face turned blue for no apparent reason, as if he had been greatly insulted.

Lin Chaoxi didn't know what to do. She really didn't care much about the results and rankings in the mathematics league. According to Pei Zhi, after finishing a set of papers, everyone actually had a feeling about the results.

Well, the results should be just as Pei Zhi said that day.

But she didn't expect that on the day when the results were released, while they were sitting in the classroom preparing for the new day's lessons, Xie Ran asked them all to stand up and follow him.

When we arrived at the gate of Sanwei University, there were two buses parked there. Their entire training team was taken directly to Yongchuan University, including the high school students.

——

Yongchuan City, Yongchuan University.

The car door opened, and students filed out. A very modern university campus appeared before their eyes.

There is a huge white marble plaque at the main entrance with the words "中正平和" (Zhongzheng Pinghe) inscribed on it. The weather was very good and the sunshine was bright.

Lin Zhaoxi covered her eyes with her hands. Every time she stood here and looked up at those four words, she was shocked from the bottom of her heart.

Vice President Zhang and another teacher she didn't know waited for them at the gate of Yongchuan University and took them deep into the campus.

The team stopped in front of a red brick building.

There were some people who looked like experts and professors at the door. The wooden door was wide open. Lin Chaoxi followed the team and moved forward slowly.

Every student who walked into the auditorium was shocked at first, and then their faces were filled with reverence and disbelief.

The red banners, the crystal chandeliers, the old yet heavy rows of tables and chairs, all the details highlight the foundation of this school.

But it is the people who best reflect the quality of a school.

On the huge projection screen on the rostrum were the words: "Speaker - Feng Deming", and there was a camera at the back recording the entire meeting.

Lin Chaoxi half raised his head, looked at the three words, and was speechless for a long time.

Finally, Lu Zhihao pushed her, and she rubbed her face before she recovered.

She had almost forgotten the "Mathematical Olympiad Discussion" she had searched on the Internet that day, but now all these things were neatly laid out in front of her.

Whether it was Professor Feng sitting in the front row (although she could only see the back of his head) and other people who looked like scholars, or Vice President Zhang sitting next to them, or even the adults who looked like college students sitting in front of them, it was as if she was stepping into an unknown world.

In Jie Ran's words, it is the "academic circle", but...

Lin Chaoxi looked at the title on the big screen, but it was still different from the real academic circle of the mathematics class.

The full name of this conference is "Cross-border and Innovation: Transformation of Secondary School Mathematics Teaching and Curriculum Construction".

After all, he was a student of teacher training, so Lin Chaoxi guessed that this might be a mathematics teaching seminar held at Yongchuan University.

Similar seminars have different schedules every day.

The so-called speaker is probably the most respected person in the audience?

Today's guest is Professor Feng, so the standards are really very high.

But for some reason, the teachers’ seminar required these trainees to attend as well?

"This... what is 'cross-border' and what is 'curriculum construction'?" Lu Zhihao stared at the curtain of the rostrum, read out the title stutteringly, and then was confused.

The students present were unable to answer this question, and even if Lin Chaoxi had an answer he could not reveal it.

She poked Jie Ran in the front row, pointed at the people on their right and asked, "Is that the national training team?"

"Is there anything else you don't know?" Xie Ran was helpless.

"I don't know why we're sitting here."

"Listen to the master's lecture." Jie Ran pointed at the words on the curtain and said.

Lin Zhaoxi: "Your tone is a bit strange."

"You misunderstood. I still respect Professor Feng very much."

"Then why do you sound so weird?" she repeated.

"Because I also received a notice this morning to attend this meeting. The intensive training schedule is very tight, and I am very annoyed to waste half a day."

Vice President Zhang, who was sitting next to Jie Ran, coughed as a reminder. Lin Chaoxi retracted his neck and returned to his seat.

——

The meeting started at 9 o'clock sharp.

The host is a lady in her fifties, her surname is Wang.

She had a dignified appearance, and when she went on stage to introduce herself, Lin Chaoxi was stunned just by the string of titles she mentioned.

Professor Wang stood on the stage and asked the audience to mute their mobile phones and keep the venue quiet. He also hoped that after the experts spoke, everyone would raise their hands in an orderly manner to ask questions and speak.

There were some small noises in the venue at first, and then some lights were turned off to make the projection screen brighter and the venue became quiet.

Everyone stared at the podium, as if waiting for something.

The lady at the podium opened her red lips slightly, but her words were extremely concise. She said: "Next, let me welcome Professor Feng Deming, the head of the Department of Mathematical Sciences of Yongchuan University and an internationally renowned mathematician, to give a speech."

Real experts don’t need any exaggerated or complicated titles to introduce them.

After hearing Professor Feng's name, all the students nearby exclaimed "Wow" in unison with great respect. There was a small commotion in the venue, but the sound of leather shoes tapping on the wooden floor and slowly walking onto the stage became clearer.

The energetic old man stood in front of the podium, with one hand in his pocket, and a beam of light shone down on him.

On the screen behind him appeared his titles and resume, various international awards, visiting professors and tenured professors at internationally renowned universities, representing his absolute status in the academic world. The school is his foundation, but people like him have long become the foundation of the school.

For some reason, Lin Chaoxi thought of the speech Professor Zeng gave in elementary school.

Professor Zeng is interesting and sincere, and he takes the children into a world of mathematics that is incomprehensible but very wonderful.

The environment was also a little dim today, and Professor Feng did not bring a speech script to the stage. He had a head full of white hair, was older than Professor Zeng, and was calmer and more focused.

"Dear guests and classmates, good morning. I am Feng Deming. The conference asked me to come here today and hoped that I could give a speech as an expert. You must have heard a lot of similar congratulatory speeches. You can find them on Baidu, so I won't read them out..."

Professor Feng's voice is very clean, without any sense of oldness, and the audience in the audience is quieter.

He paused and made a little joke. There was timely laughter in the meeting room, and the atmosphere became harmonious. Somehow, Lin Chaoxi gradually relaxed.

“In fact, I don’t have much to say about mathematics education for secondary school students, but because I always like to talk nonsense, the conference wants me to stand here and say more. But I won’t be fooled today. I decided to be a listener with everyone.”

"So next, let's hand the time back to the two teams of Professor Liu from Yongchuan Normal University and Professor Wang from Baicao University who will give their debate reports today. They will expound on opposite viewpoints around the same theme. I heard that today's theme is Olympic Mathematics."

There were small smiles in the audience again. He completely took over the host's job.

But before he put down the microphone and walked off the stage, no one would have believed that his speech was really so brief.

The wooden stool flipped open with a creak, and Professor Feng sat back in his original seat with his back to the audience.

Looking from a distance, I could only see the back of his graying head.

Without thinking, Lin Chaoxi could guess that the organizer of the meeting must be unhappy, but someone of his status could indeed be so willful.

Only then did Lin Chaoxi discover the difference between Professor Feng and Professor Zeng.

One is really gentle and wise, while the other is really calm and carefree.

"Thank you Professor Feng for your humorous speech." Professor Wang stepped on high heels to the stage to save the situation. She unfolded the draft agenda, took a look, and then simply closed it. "Then let's start the next agenda according to Professor Feng's instructions."

"Two expert teams from Yongchuan Normal University and Baicao University will conduct a multi-person collaborative debate report on "Mathematical Olympiad Teaching and the Cultivation of Mathematical Ability". Now let me invite Professor Liu from Yongchuan Normal University and his team."

The whole audience fell silent again, and then there was another commotion.

The students never thought that this meeting might actually be related to them.

"Talking about us?"

“Will you let us on stage?”

“So nervous!”

"You think too much."

Academic conferences were too far away from them, and students were whispering to each other, with people talking and arguing constantly.

But it happened that on the day when the results of the mathematics league were announced, so many of their training students were invited to attend the meeting. Lin Chaoxi thought that compared with ordinary academic conferences, this meeting might really be a little different.
