Genius Fundamentals

Everyone believes Lin Zhao Xi’s a genius.

Only she knows she’s looking back on years of experience in math competitions as a basis to “cheat”.

Until one day, her idol quietly looks at h...

Chapter 151 Acquaintance

A basic introduction class for postgraduate entrance exams ended. When class was over, Lin Chaoxi packed up his things and decided to see if he could change classes.

Now the problem is a bit embarrassing. At that time, the teacher of Zhenhua Institution told her that she would be guaranteed to pass the exam if she took the VIP course. She confidently chose the cross-examination basic class. Now she suddenly has to change to a better class, which is simply a slap in her face.

Lin Chaoxi was ashamed, but still knocked on the door of the academic affairs teacher's office.

The teacher in the office was named Wang. He was the teacher who sent her to the hospital when she was nearly hit by a steel pipe while saving Lu Zhihao that day.

Teacher Wang was also quite nervous when he saw her, and probably thought she was here to ask for medical expenses: "What's the matter, classmate?"

"Teacher Wang, I just finished a class. I would like to ask if there are any courses that are not so basic?"

"Does Xiaolin have any comments on our course?"

"No problem, I just want to ask if I can switch shifts?"

"In principle, this is of course not possible, but what class do you want to change to? Our VIP guaranteed passing class is still pretty good."

Lin Chaoxi was afraid of choosing the wrong course again: "Can I see the syllabus?"

"In principle, it's not allowed, but if you want to see it, I'll show it to you anyway."

Licking her lips, she took the course outline from the teacher and started flipping through it. Since she was relatively familiar with the content, she couldn't help but ask after flipping through it: "Excuse me...are there any better classes?"

"Then there are only classes guaranteed to pass in prestigious schools, but the admission requirements for this class are very strict, and the math level required of students is very high. You said before that you don't have a foundation, right?"

"I...have a little bit of basics."

"I remember you were from the philosophy department. The teacher in the guaranteed passing class might not accept you. It's not just a possibility, it's definitely not going to accept you."

Teacher Wang cuts nails and cuts iron.

"Can I talk to the teacher?"

Lin Chaoxi thought that she had been in the math competition circle of Cheese World for a while, and although it was now Strawberry World, there was no difference in essence. The teacher of the institution might be an acquaintance, even though the other party did not know her. But if she chatted with him for a while, there might be room for maneuver.

"Don't ask, the head teacher is my son, I won't agree to it."

Lin Zhaoxi: “…”

"You are a student who will definitely not pass the exam. If my son accepts you, it will affect his KPI."

"Or maybe I could take a test?"

Teacher Wang stiffened his neck and refused to agree.

"If you don't agree, then I can only report it to the security department. The renovation of the exterior wall caused the student to be injured. Isn't it a bit of a safety issue?"

Lin Zhaoxi said as he stood up.

"Wait, come back." Teacher Wang said.

——

The moment Mr. Wang's son came in, Lin Chaoxi's only thought was, I should have thought of this earlier...

Of course, Teacher Wang’s son’s surname is also Wang, and there is also someone with the surname Wang among her old acquaintances.

Yes, that's right. The person who came in was Lao Wang, Lao Wang among the four members of Yongchuan Middle School, the Lao Wang who was most likely to break the law and discipline, and the Lao Wang who always encouraged A Guang to do bad things.

"Sorry to bother you, teacher. I think I should continue with the basic class?" Lin Chaoxi said as he was about to leave.

"Are there any girls who want to study in my class?" Lao Wang pushed up his glasses and looked at her coldly and sharply, "Are your math grades OK? How many ways are there to find the higher-order derivatives of a function at a point, is there an elementary proof of the distribution of prime numbers, and how to classify quadratic surfaces in three-dimensional Minkowski space?

"5. No, sort by rotation." Lin Zhaoxi said.

Lao Wang was stunned: "How do you know?"

“Isn’t this a very basic question?”

"Oh, come to class tomorrow after you finish your study."

After Lao Wang finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and was about to leave.

Teacher Wang looked confused and asked, "Son, how could she answer such difficult questions correctly?"

"Of course not."

"Then how could you let her pass?!" Teacher Wang was shocked.

"Because she has a good mental state, she doesn't change her expression even when she is told nonsense, and she is not easily driven crazy. This is very important."

Lao Wang gave a concluding speech.

Lin Zhaoxi couldn't help laughing, it really was Old Wang...

——

Sanmi University, Library.

After the classes were adjusted, the postgraduate entrance examination class she wanted was moved to the evening. Lin Chaoxi had nothing to do, so she went back to the library to look for books.

The school was very lively. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the library reading room, one could see a film crew filming not far away.

The grass was green and the sun was shining brightly. A large number of Ji Jiang's fans gathered there, but they all behaved well and did not make any noise.

Lin Chaoxi stood in the quiet library and could even clearly hear the director shouting "cut", which shows how quiet the set was.

She retracted her gaze and looked at the bookshelf in front of her.

She remembered it correctly. Seven years later, the bookshelf on artificial intelligence was filled with long books on machine learning, and various programming algorithm theories and analyses were available.

She was like a mouse falling into a rice jar, caught in the sweet trouble of not knowing which book to start with first.

"Don't follow me."

"Xiaozhi..."

The sound of actors reciting their lines came through, and Lin Chaoxi shuddered. Outside the window was the handsome face of classmate Huajuan.

Judging from the camera angle, Hanamaki was being filmed from the back, so the fact that he was smiling at her should be a greeting.

What an approachable star. Lin Chaoxi smiled and nodded in greeting. Then she took out her mobile phone and prepared to look up an unfamiliar word.

After the phone is unlocked, a new WeChat message notification pops up in the notification bar.

Lin Chaoxi clicked it subconsciously.

Xiao Liu - I have contacted the chief of neurosurgery. He is free on Friday. I will come to pick you up.

Lin Chaoxi looked at the words and was petrified.

If you don't believe me, look up and see who God has spared...

These words popped up in her mind for no apparent reason.

At this time, her cell phone also started vibrating, and it was still an unknown number.

Her hands were shaking and she almost dropped the phone. She took the phone and walked outside the reading room, carefully looked at the number and found that it should be their school's phone number.

"Hello." She pressed the answer button.

"Excuse me, are you Lin Chaoxi?"

"I am."

As Lin Chaoxi answered, she heard a beeping sound from the receiver, as if she had another call.

"Hello, I'm the academic assistant of the School of Science. I'm here to inform you that you have passed the registration review for the Modeling Competition. Your qualifications have been confirmed. Please come to the meeting at 12:30 noon in Classroom 201 of Fengshun Building. If you can't attend, please let me know now."

Lin Chaoxi's heartbeat quickened: "No problem, I can participate."

she said.

The call was immediately disconnected.

Lin Chaoxi lowered her head and found that Liu Zhi had sent another message - Why didn't you answer my call?

Looking at the missed calls column again, Lin Chaoxi really wanted to thank the young lady who had just called her to inform her.

——

Room 201, Fengshun Building.

The registration rules for the modeling competition have already stated that the school will have 20 teams participating, with 3 people in each team, for a total of 60 people.

At the appointed time, Lin Chaoxi pushed open the door of the classroom, expecting a heat wave, but to his surprise, there were actually very few people in the classroom, and it was a bit deserted.

Looking around, he didn't see any acquaintances. In line with the principle of keeping a low profile, Lin Chaoxi walked to the corner by the window out of habit and sat down.

Xie Ran hadn't arrived yet, and of course she didn't know whether the person who was coming would be Xie Ran. It seemed that it was still early, so she took out the Python book she had just borrowed and began to read it carefully.

Not long after, someone walked up to the podium and the classroom fell silent. She raised her head and saw the teacher already standing in front of the blackboard. It was indeed Jie Ran.

He was still the same as before, always smiling: "Welcome all students to our weekly blind date meeting."

Most of the students had sullen faces and were not impressed by Jie Ran's jokes.

Lin Zhaoxi: “…”

"We have a few new students at this blind date event. Let me introduce you to Lin Chaoxi from the philosophy department."

Lin Chaoxi stood up stiffly. There were about 17 or 18 people sitting in the classroom, and everyone looked at her from head to toe. The two boys sitting in the front row looked at her twice.

"And Mr. Lin Youguang from the Department of Mathematics, please stand up as well," said Xie Ran.

Yes, that's right. The boys who looked at her twice were Lao Wang and A Guang. Their habit of sitting in the front row has never changed.

When they heard Lin Youguang's name, many students in the classroom got excited.

"God of Light, how dare you condescend to participate in such a competition?"

"None of...none of your business?"

"That's not the case. Haven't you always looked down on us for participating in the modeling competition, saying that only the National College Mathematics Competition is a real competition?"

"It's because you guys are so incompetent that Lao Wang couldn't find anyone to join, so he had to drag me along!" A Guang shouted.

"Why not just ask Wang Jiang not to participate?"

"With such a high bonus, why should I give it to you?" Lao Wang shouted.

"Wang Jiang, you don't have a girlfriend, why do you need so much money?"

The boys in the classroom kept joking around.

Lin Chaoxi stood there awkwardly, and finally couldn't help asking: "Teacher, can I ask, what are we going to do now?"

"Oh, that's how it is. The modeling competition is divided into three groups. At this time every week, we will organize the students who have passed the review to select their teammates. Everyone will get to know each other and cultivate relationships. It's called blind dating."

Lin Chaoxi touched her nose. She had actually read a lot of books on modeling, but had never seriously studied the competition schedule.

She just answered Pei Zhi's question casually, but thinking about it, Pei Zhi might have already chosen his team, and she didn't know what she was doing here.

Jie Ran seemed to see what she was thinking and said, "Let me introduce myself. I am the instructor of each team. I am responsible for answering some questions and telling everyone where to prepare. Pei Zhi is responsible for handling some communication and contact work for the competition. Of course, you can also see it the other way around, but I won't admit it."

So that's how it is.

Lin Chaoxi finally realized that she had misunderstood. That day, only An Xiaoxiao said something like "join Pei Zhi's team", but the other students said "lead the team", so Pei Zhi was just giving some guidance?

She looked at Jie Ran, but Jie Ran just smiled and said nothing.

Lin Chaoxi said honestly: "I really don't know much about the competition process."

"To put it simply, at 8:00 a.m. on May 1, the organizing committee will announce the test questions on the official website. Each participating team will have three days to write a competition paper based on the test questions and submit it. During this process, teachers are not allowed to provide guidance."

Jie Ran is particularly concise and to the point.

"So what are the rewards?" Lin Chaoxi asked with interest, remembering the jokes between the boys just now.

"Do you have a boyfriend?" Xie Ran suddenly asked.

“No…no.”

"Oh, that's easy, you can find a boyfriend while participating in the competition.

"It's quite tempting." Lin Zhaoxi smiled.

It was probably when she was still smiling that the classroom door was pushed open again.

The man was wearing a simple grey shirt and jeans. He looked handsome and calm, but his eyes were clearer than they were seven years ago.

It was Pei Zhi.

Lin Chaoxi had a smile on her face, but she became embarrassed when she saw Pei Zhi.

Why does she always run into Pei Zhi every time she shows off?

Lin Chaoxi was silent.
