At 35, Jiang Xiaoli went wild skiing with friends, only to die in an avalanche. She woke up to find herself back at 16, a year when her beloved mother was still alive!
Given a second chance, ...
The second phase of intensive training eliminated a large number of trainees, and the auditors also stopped continuing their studies, leaving the once crowded classrooms somewhat empty.
Jiang Xiaoli and An Ke arrived at the classroom together. There were 16 students in total for the math class, and including the two of them, there were only four girls.
Jiang Xiaoli and her friends sat down in the middle of the second row, and a boy in the first row turned around and looked over.
Oh, it's Yu Yang.
Jiang Xiaoli raised an eyebrow. She thought Yu Yang was going to continue battling her, but he quickly turned his head back.
Soon, Shang Run and Teacher Zhao arrived at the classroom.
Students who have stood out from all over the country to get to this point have roughly the same level of knowledge. The second phase of intensive training mainly tests their comprehensive abilities.
The intense study made Jiang Xiaoli feel that time was passing quickly, and Xu Xing felt the same way.
He shuttles between math and physics every day. Many students struggle to cope with just one subject, but he has to do problems from both subjects in the same amount of time.
Many classmates and teachers advised him to make a choice now, but he still refused.
On March 22nd, the final exam of the second phase of training ended.
Jiang Xiaoli has successfully made it into the national team of 6 members for this International Mathematical Olympiad.
Xu Xing, however, has left the math and physics teachers in a dilemma.
Both teachers stated that if he chose only one of the subjects, he would qualify for the national team roster.
But Xu Xing insisted that he could take two subjects.
The teachers and leaders at the training center studied the matter all night and finally decided to meet Xu Xing's request.
Because Xu Xing's efforts and achievements throughout the training camp were evident to all, they should not deprive him of his rightful qualification just to have an extra spot on the national team.
At the closing ceremony of the national training team, the official list of those who entered the national team for the five major competition subjects this year was announced.
Jiang Xiaoli breathed a sigh of relief for Xu Xing.
The two of them immediately called Chen Zhe and Teacher Liu to share the good news.
During the phone call, Jiang Xiaoli seemed to hear a slight sob in Teacher Liu's voice, and Chen Zhe couldn't help but burst into tears.
This scene left even the usually eloquent Jiang Xiaoli at a loss for how to handle the situation.
Finally, Xu Xing reassured the two teachers that they would achieve excellent results, bringing honor to them and the country. Only then did the two teachers calm down and offer them their heartfelt blessings.
In the following period, the teachers of each subject led the national team students in targeted training.
With the mandatory accommodation requirement removed, Jiang Xiaoli applied to move back home.
Knowing that she would soon be living in Kyoto, Li Guizhi bought a car and resumed her daily routine of picking up and dropping off her daughter at school.
Time flew by and it was July 2nd. Today was the day Xu Xing and his national physics team set off for the competition.
The Physics Olympiad was held in Canberra, Australia. Xu Xing's family was unable to come to Beijing to see him off due to work reasons. Jiang Xiaoli and Li Guizhi prepared all kinds of daily necessities and hometown snacks for Xu Xing.
Before parting, Jiang Xiaoli patted Xu Xing on the shoulder and said, "Xu Xiaoxing, you have to do your best! You must bring back a gold medal!"
Xu Xing nodded firmly, "Don't worry, I definitely will."
After seeing Xu Xing off, Jiang Xiaoli went home to pack her things. She was going back to Xijing to prepare for this year's college entrance examination.
Back at their home in Xijing, Xiao Muyu rushed over excitedly and hugged her, "Xiao Li, you're finally back! I missed you so much!"
Xu Feng and Xiao Jincheng watched the two girls pouring out their hearts to each other, their eyes full of smiles.
Xu Feng invited Li Guizhi to their home for a meal.
After the two children had calmed down, Xiao Jincheng pulled Jiang Xiaoli along, saying, "Xiaoli, come with me to Jinghua after dinner."
Jiang Xiaoli nodded vigorously, "Okay, okay!"
The "Jinghua Commercial Plaza" was fully completed a month ago and is now in the leasing stage.
According to Xiao Jincheng, the investment promotion event was very popular, and she had wanted to come back to see it for a long time, but the training team teachers wouldn't let her go.
After finishing their meal, Jiang Xiaoli couldn't wait to go out with Xiao Jingcheng.
Seeing the library from her past life transformed into the current "Jinghua Commercial Plaza" filled Jiang Xiaoli with immense excitement. They really did it!
Many people came to inquire about shops. Following Jiang Xiaoli's advice, Xiao Jincheng first attracted large supermarkets, cinemas, restaurants, indoor amusement parks, and various brands to move in.
There weren't many shops left to begin with, and merchants who had caught wind of the opportunity rushed over, all wanting a piece of the pie.
Xiao Jincheng took Jiang Xiaoli for a walk around the mall and introduced her to the current layout of the investment projects.
Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, "Uncle Xiao, I can already foresee the grand opening of our 'Jinghua Commercial Plaza'!"
Xiao Jincheng couldn't stop laughing at the thought of that scene. "Haha, then Little Pear, you must come back to see it then!"
The opening date of "Jinghua Commercial Plaza" is set for October 1st, during this year's National Day holiday.
She nodded, "No problem, I'll definitely come back to visit during my holiday!"
The day after returning home, Jiang Xiaoli visited two more food factories.
Under the management of factory directors Mingchan and Dafu, the food factory operated very steadily.
Mingchan, along with the factory's researchers, launched a new spicy snack product, which was very popular with customers after its release.
The branch factory launched six flavors of potato chips at the beginning of this year, and the food factory's revenue in the first half of the year increased sharply because of the potato chips.
However, the food factory also faces problems; currently, the factory buildings are insufficient.
Jiang Xiaoli told Dafu to calm down and that she would find a solution after Dafu finished her college entrance exams and Olympiads.
She wandered around for a few days, and Chen finally couldn't wait any longer.
He called Jiang Xiaoli's home directly, his voice almost roaring, "Didn't you go back to Xi'an several days ago? Why haven't you come to school to pick up your exam admission ticket yet? Are you not even planning to take the college entrance exam?!"
Jiang Xiaoli shrank her neck and quickly replied, "Coming, coming! Coming right now!"
She rushed to the school to get Chen's admission ticket.
When Chen saw that she wasn't as angry as she had been on the phone, he kindly told her, "Don't be nervous about the exam. With your abilities, getting into Peking University will definitely not be a problem."
Jiang Xiaoli nodded with a smile, "Okay, Teacher Chen, I will definitely try my best!"
After she took her exam admission ticket and left, Teacher Liu stood next to Chen and sighed.
"Teacher Chen, it's only been two years, can you imagine how many surprises this student has given us? Do you think she'll do well in this year's college entrance exam...?"
Chen interrupted him, "It would be best if she got it, but even if she doesn't, she's still my best student."
