Chapter 95: She has the final say in their success
Yu Wenzhou glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, chuckling inwardly, but keeping a straight face: "It's okay, just so-so."
"How much is okay? Explain clearly, why are you beating around in circles?"
Yu Wenzhou: "There are only three or four first-place winners."
"Oh my god, what do you mean by 'only'?! Three or four and you're not satisfied?!" the male teacher said jealously, "I don't have any."
Zhang Ju couldn't help but tighten her lips when she heard that.
Yu Wenzhou sighed: "I think four is still a little too few. After all, we have 13 students participating in the semi-finals."
The male teacher's eyes widened. "What did you say?! Do you dare to say it again? Only 13 people? And there were four first prizes? No... are you kidding?"
25 students on his side entered the semi-finals, but the best one only won second prize. How could this beast Yu Wenzhou quietly win four first prizes?
Still think it’s too little?!
No, my blood pressure is going to soar...
But the shock is far more than that, the highlight is yet to come.
Yu Wenzhou spoke slowly, "Actually, this isn't a big deal. What surprised Old Meng and me the most were Jiang Fuyue and Ling Xuan. One scored full marks in both theory and experiment, ranking first in the province, while the other barely made it. She lost ten points on the theory part and only ranked third in the province."
Only... third in the province?
What kind of lecherous statement is this?
The male teacher's blood pressure was completely out of control.
Zhang Ju's hands, which were casually placed on her knees, had already clenched unconsciously, her nails digging into her flesh, but she seemed unaware of the pain.
"Oh, are you all here?" The director came hurriedly.
Everyone stood up and greeted them.
"Sit, sit, sit, sit, everyone." He looked very happy. "The results of the semi-finals have been notified to everyone by phone. The transcripts are still being printed and will be delivered soon."
"There are two main things happening today. The first is the awards ceremony, which will be held this Friday, two days from now. The first, second, and third place winners will all take the stage. We've invited more than a dozen media outlets to attend, and we've also arranged interviews afterward."
"The second thing is the finalists for this year's summer camp. As usual, the top three students from each province will travel to Beijing for ten days of closed-door training to select the national team members who will travel abroad to compete in the IPhO. This year, the process won't change much. The top three from Province J are all in Linhuai City, which is quite impressive! This is also the only time in all these years that the top three from the entire province are from the same city."
"Furthermore, Jiang Fuyue from No. 1 Middle School has already been noticed by the national team with her excellent performance in both theory and experiment. We must give a warm round of applause to Teachers Meng and Yu for raising such a great student!"
Suddenly, thunderous applause broke out.
Meng Zhijian's eyes were burning with heat, and Yu Wenzhou no longer had the arrogance and complacency he had when he was angry with Zhang Ju. Instead, there was a bit more complexity and sigh in his eyes.
Back then, the Physics Competition School of No. 1 Middle School was once very popular, and the two of them were famous teachers praised by everyone. Unfortunately, the Physics Competition School gradually went downhill, getting worse year by year. The two of them tried to save it, but to no avail.
Their glory days were gone, and they had to live in a small corner, returning to the lives of ordinary teachers. Although they still taught classes as usual, their inner ambitions had been worn away day after day.
They originally thought that was it, but the appearance of Jiang Fuyue rekindled their hope.
They have come this far despite the pressure and contempt. It is not so much that they have made Jiang Fuyue what she is, but rather that Jiang Fuyue has made them what they are!
After the event, Meng Zhijian and Yu Wenzhou were escorted away.
"Hey, Old Meng, you two have been hiding it too well. You're only bringing out such a talented kid now. He's already in his second year of high school, and will soon be his third."
"Yeah, if you join in the first year of high school, what's the point of No. 2 Middle School?"
"I heard this girl handed in her paper early again? She even memorized the original questions on the spot. Is that true?"
"Jiang Fuyue and Ling Xuan are talented players, rare to come by, and we have no problem with that. But all the other students have won awards. If you say you didn't teach them any tricks, no one will believe it!"
"That's right. We've been friends for so many years. You and Lao Meng can't keep your secrets to yourself. Let's talk about it together!"
“…”
Some asked for advice, some joked, the two of them were surrounded in the middle, feeling the overly hot and overwhelming enthusiasm. Meng Zhijian and Yu Wenzhou looked at each other, and saw the helplessness and bitter smile on each other's faces.
What secret do they have?
Jiang Fuyue was the one who predicted the questions and got full marks in the exam. She even taught several classes.
I'm afraid I'm really going to lose my job this time...
The next day, Yu Wenzhou and Meng Zhijian went to deliver Jiang Fuyue's report card in person.
When I got to the pancake shop, I didn't see anyone.
Jiang Da and Han Yunru warmly entertained the two of them and made a family-style pancake for each of them, with plenty of ingredients.
After taking a bite, the two looked at each other and said, "Hit!"
I couldn't help but speed up my eating.
After we finished eating, Han Yunru served us iced sour plum soup, which was perfect to cool us down and relieve the greasiness.
The two took just one sip and were amazed again.
We had heard many students say how delicious Jiang Ji was, but we didn’t take it seriously. We didn’t expect it to be so delicious!
knock!
Should have tried it sooner.
"Is Jiang Fuyue here?" After eating and drinking, it's time to get down to business.
"Yueyue has been at the city library recently. She leaves in the morning and comes back in the evening."
"I see..."
Han Yunru smiled and said, "Teachers, what's up? Do you want me to call her back now?"
"No, no, we're here today to deliver the report card, and secondly, to talk to the parents about Jiang Fuyue's situation."
Jiang Da washed his hands and came out of the kitchen. When he heard this, his heart tightened: "Did something happen to Yueyue?"
"No, no, she's excellent and outstanding. Here's her physics competition semi-final transcript, you can take a look... She got full marks in both theory and experiment, ranking first in the province. Even if we took the national exam, I don't think anyone would have done better than her."
The couple was surprisingly calm.
Yu Wenzhou coughed lightly and asked, "Did you two know that she will be participating in the informatics competition next?"
Jiang Da thought thoughtfully: "...I think I've heard of it before."
Han Yunru was a little more certain: "That's what happened."
Meng and Yu looked at each other and thought, well, if the parents are unreliable, it’s no wonder that the children have such strong ideas.
"Look, Jiang Fuyue has been selected for this year's physics competition summer camp. She has the opportunity to represent China abroad. If she wins the gold medal, she can choose any of the top five universities in the country without even having to take the college entrance exam. She'll be directly admitted. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, something some people never encounter in their lifetime. Our suggestion is that she focus on the summer camp and put aside other unimportant matters..."
For example, information competition.
Yu Wenzhou: "Do you two understand what we mean?"
Jiang Da nodded: "I understand. You don't want Yueyue to participate in that...competition."
Okay, you understand.
Yu Wenzhou looked expectant: "So what are your thoughts?"
Jiang Da smiled innocently: "We don't have any ideas."
Yu Wenzhou: “?”
Jiang Da added: "Even if we have ideas, it won't be of any use. Yueyue won't listen to us."
Han Yunru nodded: "She has the final say in our family."
Jiang Da gave him an affirmative look, yes, that's it.
Yu Wenzhou: “?”
Meng Zhijian: “???”
Confusing family relationship awards?
