Chapter 293: Uncle and Nephew Go Together to Compete for the Special Prize (Part 1)
As soon as the call ended, Xie Dingyuan regretted it.
What is he doing?
The following experiments were also done carelessly.
Or... call Sheng Yiming and ask him to refund the ticket?
But when he picked up the phone, he called the old house and asked the old lady to help him pack some clothes and ask the driver to take them to the airport immediately.
The old lady was surprised: "Are you going on a business trip?"
Xie Dingyuan: "Yeah."
"Why so sudden? I haven't heard you mention it before."
"…It was a last-minute decision."
"Is it important?"
The man's Adam's apple rolled and his eyes flickered slightly. Fortunately, the other end couldn't see it, otherwise the mother would have known at a glance that her child was lying.
He said, “It’s important.”
"What time is the flight?"
"In three hours."
The old lady didn't ask any more questions, hung up the phone and went upstairs to pack her clothes.
On the way, I passed by Zhong Ziang's room. The door was half-open and the little brat was squatting on the ground, packing his luggage.
Now the packing is almost done, just close the suitcase and zip it up.
"Ang Ang, what are you doing? Do you want to go home?" The old lady thought he was bored and wanted to go back to the Zhong family.
Zhong Ziang curled his lips in disdain: "Whoever wants to reply can reply, I won't reply anyway."
"Then what are you packing for?"
The young man seemed to be thinking of something wonderful, and all his disdain was gone, with joy creeping into his eyes.
"Hey, I booked a flight to Country D soon. Oh, it's almost time, I should leave for the airport."
"What are you going to do in Country D?"
"Of course, it's to see your future granddaughter-in-law!"
"The Jiang who participated in the physics competition—"
Zhong Ziang reminded with a smile: "Jiang Fuyue."
"Right, right, right. Look at my memory. That's perfect. Your uncle is going on a business trip, and the driver will take his luggage to the airport soon. You can come along and make sure he finishes the beef bone soup. Don't leave any morsel!"
"Can I make it? My flight leaves in three hours."
"There's still time! There's still time! I'll go pack some clothes for him right now."
"Okay then." Zhong Ziang nodded, "Hurry up."
But I was secretly puzzled: Doesn't my uncle dislike business trips? And in such a hurry... he didn't even pack his luggage... How strange...
Imperial Capital Airport.
Xie Dingyuan received a call from the driver and asked him where he was.
"Uncle Li, here."
The driver finally found the person and couldn't help but quicken his pace.
"Master Jiu, here are the luggage, and the beef bone soup that the old lady asked me to bring."
Xie Dingyuan took the box and said, "No need for the soup, I'm in a hurry."
"But……"
"Uncle, this isn't a good thing for you to do." A figure suddenly appeared behind the driver.
Xie Dingyuan frowned: "Why are you here?"
Zhong Ziang grinned: "Catching a plane, and supervising you to drink soup."
“…”
"Hurry up and drink it so you can check it in. I have received the old lady's order and I want to see you drink it all with my own eyes, without leaving a single sip. Otherwise, I will have no explanation!"
“…”
Xie Dingyuan finished his soup, turned around and left, his back revealing a cold resentment.
Zhong Ziang was so amused by what he saw.
The driver suddenly reminded: "Young Master, don't you have a flight to catch as well?"
"Damn! I almost forgot..."
The uncle and nephew checked in their luggage and went through security separately. Zhong Ziang did not ask Xie Dingyuan where he was going on business trip, and Xie Dingyuan did not care which country Zhong Ziang was flying to for vacation.
But forty minutes later, they met again in the same VIP lounge.
Their eyes met, one was surprised, the other frowned.
Xie Dingyuan: "Why are you here?"
Zhong Ziang: "I'm going to Country D to watch Jiang Fuyue's competition."
The man's eyes dimmed.
"Uncle, don't tell me you're going to Country D too."
"This VIP lounge is only for business and first class passengers on one flight. What do you think?"
The two people appeared here at the same time, eliminating the possibility of taking the wrong route, so they could only be on the same flight.
Zhong Ziang flew to Country D, so it was self-evident where Xie Dingyuan went.
At half past nine, boarding began.
The two of them were actually sitting next to each other.
Zhong Ziang muttered softly: "What a coincidence..."
Xie Dingyuan didn't respond, leaving his nephew with a cold look.
At that time, the sun had not yet set in Country D.
Jiang Fuyue plans to go out.
Huo Fanjin: "Where are you going?"
"Just stroll around and buy some local specialties to bring back as gifts."
"Then I'll go too!"
Jiang Fuyue raised an eyebrow: "Not meeting Frank?"
Huo Fanjin pursed her lips. "He doesn't even reply to emails, so why should I meet him? I'm not stupid."
It seems she has noticed something.
"Okay," Jiang Fuyue nodded, "Let's go."
"I'll ask the three of them if they want to go."
After this question, the two-person group became a six-person group, five students and one Sun Qun.
"Ahem...I'll join in the fun too."
The main reason was that Sun Qun did not speak German, and with Jiang Fuyue as a ready-made translator, he certainly had to seize the opportunity.
It just so happened that he was planning to buy some local specialties to bring back as gifts.
The group took the shaky bus to the city center. Following Jiang Fuyue's suggestion, they did not look for any special specialty stores, but went straight to the supermarket in the large shopping mall.
In less than half an hour, Jiang Fuyue had picked out everything, including chocolates of various flavors and some inexpensive handmade products.
Huo Fanjin, a wealthy young lady, wanted to buy everything she saw and unknowingly filled up her shopping cart.
Jiang Fuyue reminded her: "Can your suitcase hold so much?"
Well……
"Yes." Then, he quietly put it back on the shelf.
Sun Qun paused while putting things into the shopping cart, then calmly picked out two boxes of chocolates with not-so-attractive packaging and put them back.
Lin Shumo saw it and his mouth twitched.
But doubts also arose in my mind.
Logically speaking, since it was Jiang Fuyue's first time in Country D, everything should have been new to her, but she actually looked more calm and experienced than Huo Fanjin and Sun Qun, who had been there several times.
It's really strange...
Could it be that she is naturally more patient than ordinary people?
Lin Shumo didn't believe it.
If these things can be innate, wouldn't all children be smart? What's the point of nurturing them?
After leaving the supermarket, everyone was holding shopping bags. Ling Xuan and Lin Shumo had the least, Fang Canyang had not much either, followed by Jiang Fuyue and Huo Fanjin. Sun Qun was the one who bought the most.
Afterwards, the group went into a convenience store on the side of the road. Jiang Fuyue bought garlic essential oil, effervescent tablets, and various vitamin products. They were affordable and of guaranteed quality.
Sun Qun secretly bought several hair growth products and deliberately stayed behind when checking out.
Everyone knew it, and no one exposed it.
We returned to the hotel before the sun completely set, and then went to the restaurant for dinner together.
At night, Jiang Fuyue took a shower and sat on the edge of the bed to blow dry her hair.
Huo Fanjin suddenly took out his cell phone and wanted to transfer money to her.
"How come I didn't know you owed me money?" She turned off the hair dryer.
"I treated you to the penthouse suite last night!"
Jiang Fuyue didn't understand: "Why should I ask you to treat me?"
"You can't treat me!" Huo Fanjin was anxious.
"I suggested it."
"Then I agree."
Jiang Fuyue frowned.
Huo Fanjin whispered: "That suite is quite expensive..."
Now Jiang Fuyue understood.
"It's okay," she waved her hand, "I have money."
Huo Fanjin was skeptical.
Didn't the captain's family sell pancakes? They probably don't make much money, do they?
But I was too embarrassed to ask this question.
So confused...
Seeing that she couldn't let go, Jiang Fuyue suggested, "You pay tonight, then," so as not to embarrass her.
"Ah? Tonight?"
"Then I'll pay." Jiang Fuyue changed his words.
"No...are we going upstairs to stay again tonight?"
"Um."
Huo Fanjin smiled and nodded: "Okay! Then I'll pay tonight."
She quite likes that starry sky...
The fifth day passed without any incident.
On the sixth day, the participating teams from various countries could finally sleep in peacefully, and the restaurant opening hours were considerately delayed by two hours.
But Yan Zhenfeng and Qin Libin could not do so, because they had to attend the team leaders' meeting and have face-to-face interviews with the marking panel members to discuss and resolve possible errors and differences of opinion in grading.
The results came out in the afternoon, and the two then attended the final international committee meeting.
The most important agenda of the meeting is to approve the list of students’ awards!
3 theoretical questions and 2 experimental questions, each worth 10 points, total score 50.
According to the regulations, the average points of the top three players will be counted as 100%.
Those who score 90% or more will be awarded the first prize (gold medal); those who score less than 90% but 78% will be awarded the second prize (silver medal); those who score less than 78% but 65% will be awarded the third prize (bronze medal); those who score less than 65% but 50% will be awarded a commendation award; those who score less than 50% will be issued a participation certificate.
The first place gold medal winner will be awarded a special prize.
But this year it was a dilemma because the scores of the top two contestants were exactly the same!
And they all got full marks!
Who should be awarded the special prize?
First update, 3,000 words.
I don't need to tell you who these two got full marks.
