Chapter 677: Results Announced, Reported (Two Updates Combined into One)
Jiang Fuyue paused.
Then he took out his cell phone and clicked on the headlines.
#F洲未名病毒# is hung in the most conspicuous position.
[…According to reports, the Chinese government has dispatched a team of experts to Continent F for support…and will provide subsequent technical support…to oversee the development of relevant vaccines…]
Tan Jiaxu said: "We don't know if this virus is contagious, but we must not let it become a global outbreak like the Nova virus did."
Chen Cheng: "Don't worry, we have Professor Xie here. He was able to conquer the Nova virus back then, so what can this unknown virus do?"
“Yeah…”
While the two were talking, Yuan Bentao and Li Zhao walked into the classroom one after another.
The chattering stopped abruptly and the classroom became quiet in an instant.
Yuan Bentao stood on the podium and cleared his throat. "I believe everyone is eager to know the results. I won't say much. Just read it for yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhao turned on the projector, and the results and rankings came into view unexpectedly.
The first place was unexpected, but also expected.
Jiang Fuyue firmly ranks first.
The full score is even more eye-catching.
It seemed like she had never moved from this position since the first day of the quiz.
Even if you get full marks, you can still output them like crazy as if it’s free.
"He managed to get full marks on such a difficult question. I'm impressed."
“It’s not called an exam machine for nothing.”
"It seems that she has never gotten any other scores besides full marks?"
"It's not 'seemingly', it's 'definitely'."
"I have a classmate who participated in a physics competition summer camp. It is said that he was tortured by the big devil every day, so his ability to withstand pressure has increased exponentially."
"Whether it's the physics competition, the informatics competition, or the math competition, they're all really difficult."
"However, the most terrifying thing is not that she got first place with a perfect score, but that all her friends from the same school were selected."
That’s right, Ling Xuan ranked second with a difference of three points, while Chen Cheng and Tan Jiaxu ranked fifth and sixth respectively.
All were successfully selected for the national team!
Guo Zidong was third and Wei Kongjue was fourth.
These six people are the official members of this year's IMO national team.
"We got in, we got in?" Tan Jiaxu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes burst with surprise, "We got in! We got in!"
Chen Cheng nodded repeatedly, too excited to speak. Only a flash of tears flashed in his eyes, and finally...
Hard work pays off and sweat bears fruit.
"I saw online that Sister Yue is a European king, the kind who is sure to win easily when forming a team."
"Oh! I only regret that I wasn't born in Linhuai and couldn't be a schoolmate of Sister Yue."
"Please give me milk, please take me flying."
"Is the Moon Goddess still in need of a leg pendant? I'll be the first to sign up, no money required, I'll even pay for it."
"Is it because Linhuai's feng shui is so good? That's why the people it produces are so outstanding?"
“…”
Yuan Bentao waited until everyone had finished talking and gradually quieted down before he slowly spoke:
"Competition is brutal, but that's precisely what makes it so appealing. Congratulations to those who made the national team; you'll soon shoulder even greater responsibilities. For those who didn't make the cut, please don't be discouraged. Although you missed out on academic competitions, I hope you can go further and further in the race of life!"
“Don’t forget your original intention, and you will succeed!”
As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out at the scene.
Many students lowered their heads and wiped their eyes quietly.
They felt bad after failing halfway. Who has come this far without sweat and hard work?
But the results may not be satisfactory.
this is life.
Eventually you have to learn to face it.
They lost this game, but they accumulated capital to win the next one.
…
After the national team roster was finalized, six people were called to the office.
Li Zhao: "Professor Yuan and I will lead the team this time. We will gather at the school gate at 8 o'clock the day after tomorrow and set off for Zurich. Does anyone have any questions?"
The six people all said: "No."
"Okay, then go back and prepare. Jiang Fuyue will stay."
After the five people left, Jiang Fuyue met Li Zhao's gaze and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Professor Li, do you have something to talk to me about?"
He nodded: "Something."
As he said that, he opened the drawer and took out a stack of A4 paper.
Jiang Fuyue calmly scanned the top page. It was a math problem. The blank space below was filled with the steps to solve the problem, and the formulas and numbers were densely packed.
Hmm...looks a little familiar.
Li Zhao pushed it directly in front of her: "Look, do you know what this is?"
Jiang Fuyue didn't need to look because she already remembered: "I know."
Li Zhao frowned at her calm and composed appearance, "Then tell me what this is?"
"Test questions."
"What's the test?"
"Mathematical Olympiad exercises."
Li Zhao: "We have never asked such a question."
"So? Can't students solve problems you haven't given them?"
Li Zhao's brows furrowed in concentration. "Someone's reported you for stealing and leaking exam questions! You're setting up private training sessions! We demand you be disqualified from the national team and banned permanently!"
Another report. How similar is it to the public exposure led by Fang Liuliu at the CMO Winter Camp?
The only possible difference is that Fang Liuliu was more impulsive and chose to confront Jiang Fuyue face to face, while the person who reported her this time obviously learned the lesson from the former and adopted the strategy of making complaints behind her back, using the teacher to put pressure on Jiang Fuyue.
Oh……
"May I ask who this person is?"
Li Zhao shook his head: "Sorry, according to regulations, we cannot disclose the whistleblower's personal information."
Jiang Fuyue wasn't annoyed, as if she had guessed it long ago: "I'm sorry, Professor Li, I don't accept either of these accusations."
"First, regarding the theft and leak of test questions, whose work was stolen and whose was leaked?"
Li Zhao was stunned, his eyes falling on the stack of A4 papers: "Some of the questions here are indeed similar to those in several quizzes."
Jiang Fuyue: "Are you sure?"
"Sure."
"So it's just a similarity, not the original title. If that's the case, how can it be a leak?"
Li Zhao, who was outmaneuvered, said: "..."
Jiang Fuyue picked up the stack of A4 papers. Each sheet contained an Olympiad math problem, which she gave to Chen Cheng and Tan Jiaxu for practice.
After use, it was left in the empty classroom. No one knew how it got into Li Zhao's hands, and it became the key evidence for her leaking the test questions.
Jiang Fuyue: "Let's take a step back. If I really had this ability, why did I only leak a few quizzes? And not the final one that directly affects the selection of the national team? Isn't that just going the long way around?"
"Oh, by the way, if I knew the exam questions in advance, which of you professors was so lax in keeping secrets, or even so partial to me, that I was given the opportunity to steal the questions?"
Li Zhao's expression darkened. She had made a condom, and while putting herself in it, she was also ready to pull the people on the shore into the water at any time.
"You, you're talking nonsense!"
"Really?" Jiang Fuyue raised an eyebrow, her tone calm. "But I believe I've conducted a comprehensive and rational analysis based on science, logic, and rigorous principles, based on the existing evidence and charges. How can this be called nonsense?"
Li Zhao: "..." I don't believe you!
"Secondly, regarding the private training class, I didn't collect any money and didn't enroll any students. How can I call it a training class?"
Li Zhao: "Aren't you secretly tutoring Chen Cheng and Tan Jiaxi?"
"Classmates, help each other. What's the problem?"
“…”
"Or is it that there are rules in the training camp that prohibit communication between team members? Answering questions and solving doubts?"
“…” You’ve already said all the good and bad things, what else can I say?
Jiang Fuyue leaned forward with both hands on the edge of the table, her eyes narrowed slightly. "That's my explanation. Professor Li, are you satisfied?"
Li Zhao hesitated, "Not bad. We will investigate this matter carefully based on the facts and with a rigorous and fair attitude. You can go back now."
Jiang Fuyue didn't move.
Li Zhao looked puzzled: "Is there anything else?"
"Yes. I want to report it."
"Huh?" Li Zhao was dumbfounded.
"Why, can't I?" The girl said with a smile.
"Of course you can! Who are you reporting? Why are you reporting? And you also need to provide relevant evidence. I need to explain it one by one."
Jiang Fuyue: "I want to report the person who reported me for spreading rumors and slander. As for the evidence..."
She put down the A4 paper in her hand and pushed it back in front of Li Zhao.
This is the evidence!
"?"
"I hope Professor Li will investigate that person as seriously as he did me. Until the results come out, I think I should suspend all activities related to the IMO, including traveling to Zurich. After all, my eligibility for selection has yet to be confirmed."
"Of course, this is also a sign of respect for you, Professor Li, as an investigator. Someone like me, carrying out normal activities while guilty, would probably draw criticism. We have to be on guard against fire, theft, and villains. What if... we get reported again?"
When Li Zhao heard that Jiang Fuyue was not going, he suddenly became dumbfounded and stood there in a daze.
"No! We're only in the investigation stage now, and nothing is clear yet. How can you just say you won't go?!"
He panicked, "IMO, how big of a deal is this? A year of selection preparation just for this final battle, you!"
Jiang Fuyue lowered her eyes and sighed softly, "Professor Li, I know everything you said, but innocence is above everything else. I can't just cling to people when they spit on me and everyone around me thinks I stink. What would that mean for me then?"
"Who, who thinks you stink?"
"You."
Li Zhao was shocked: "When did I think you smell bad? Why are you talking nonsense?!"
"From the moment you decided to question me, I was already tainted in your eyes."
Her sharpness caught Li Zhao off guard.
"I..." He tried to explain, but found that any words were so pale and powerless.
Because the other party was not wrong.
He really had a first impression.
Jiang Fuyue smiled slightly, as if she didn't care at all. From her facial expression to her body movements, she demonstrated what it meant to be calm and composed.
"It's 11 a.m. now, and there are still 45 hours until 8 a.m. the day after tomorrow. If they still can't figure out what happened, I'll have to ask the police for help..."
After all, she was just a simple and harmless person who wanted to help her classmates but ended up being framed.
After saying that, Jiang Fuyue turned and left.
When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned back to Li Zhao with a smile: "Time is running out, you better hurry up."
Li Zhao: "..." So angry! So angry!
After Jiang Fuyue left, Yuan Bentao, Xiang Pengyi, He Longchang and others who had been eavesdropping openly with their ears perked up quickly surrounded them.
"Old Li, you've met your match."
"Our classmate Jiang is truly extraordinary."
"You say one thing, and she has three waiting for you, and her words are righteous and clear."
"It's even more slippery than a loach..."
Li Zhao was already filled with anger, and after hearing the sarcastic remarks from several people, he could no longer hold back.
"Is this the end?! The problem now is that Jiang Fuyue is reporting you and planning to quit the exam. Have you considered the consequences? And you're still laughing here!"
"Hey! Old Li, I completely understand how you feel now. But there's no point in getting anxious. You might as well be like me and be calm. After all, things will work out in time, and if the sky falls, there are still tall people to hold it up, blah blah..."
Li Zhao's veins jumped: "Enough! Shut up!"
"...Oh." Just shut up.
Xiang Pengyi: "This Jiang Fuyue really got all her friends in here. They take up four seats in a team of six. That's pretty impressive!"
"Time is really running out. Let's deal with it quickly and don't delay our flight to Zurich the day after tomorrow." Finally, Yuan Bentao stepped forward and made the final decision.
He Longchang smacked his lips, "Now the person who reported it is going to be in trouble..."
…
In the cafeteria, when Jiang Fuyue arrived, the three had already prepared her meal and sat down waiting.
"Sister Yue, here——" Tan Jiaxu waved.
Jiang Fuyue walked over and clearly noticed a pair of eyes following her from behind. She was confused and a little surprised, and felt uneasy.
She didn't look back and walked straight to her seat and sat down.
Chen Cheng: "Sister Yue, does Professor Li want to see you alone for something?"
Jiang Fuyue briefly described the current situation with a calm expression and a light tone.
"Fuck—what do they mean? They want to convict Sister Yue based on just a few pieces of paper. If they're so awesome, why don't they just go to heaven?"
Ling Xuan put down his chopsticks and pretended to stand up: "I'll go talk to the professor..."
Jiang Fuyue stopped him and said, "Sit down and eat first."
The boy paused, and finally sat down obediently.
Chen Cheng: "Then what should we do now?"
Jiang Fuyue: "Wait."
None of the professors were stupid, so they naturally knew who should be weighed between her and the whistleblower.
Seeing that she already had a plan to deal with it, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
After finishing the meal and preparing to leave, Jiang Fuyue suddenly stood up, said "Wait for me two minutes", and then walked in the direction of his back.
Finally, they stopped in front of a dining table. The person sitting opposite slowly raised his head, revealing a warm and smiling face: "Classmate Jiang, would you like to sit with us?"
"No need, Wu Pingting, classmate Wu." She curled the corners of her lips slightly and spoke each word clearly.
A look of confusion flashed across the girl's face, as if asking: If we're not going to sit together, then why are you looking for me?
The two of them didn't have much interaction, and before this, they had never spoken more than five sentences.
The only impression she left on Jiang Fuyue was her back as she sat in the front row, concentrating on doing exercises, her shoulders hunched and her back slightly slumped, as if she could never straighten up.
"Student Jiang, are you... okay?"
"have."
"?"
"Is reporting fun? Isn't it more exciting to make malicious reports without evidence?"
The girl looked bewildered, her expression as innocent as it could be: "What are you talking about? What report? Have you been reported?"
"Yes, you reported me." Jiang Fuyue smiled and curled her lips, without any anger on her face.
She wasn't forcing herself, she was genuinely smiling, even her eyebrows and eyes were relaxed.
"Me?" The girl was shocked and at a loss. "Did you misunderstand? How could I, how could I report you?"
"Because if you want to be selected for the national team as the seventh player, one of the top six players must be eliminated so that you can fill the spot."
"Mr. Jiang, are you overthinking this? I can't possibly do such a thing."
In short, if you ask, you don’t know, and if you know, you won’t admit it.
Jiang Fuyue seemed to have no temper, and she still kept a smile on her face: "It doesn't matter whether it's you or not, it's impossible to succeed anyway."
The girl's eyes flashed quickly.
"I'm sorry, I really don't understand what you're saying."
Jiang Fuyue said nothing more and turned away slowly.
Wu Pingting looked at her back as she walked away, the confusion in her eyes gradually faded away, replaced by a cold and stern look.
There is also a hint of hidden worry.
She was thinking about Jiang Fuyue’s last words. What did “it’s impossible to succeed anyway” mean?
Haha...she is too arrogant!
"Pingting, so you're here. I've been looking for you for a long time..."
The girl smiled slightly and said softly, "What do you want from me?"
"It's not me looking for you, it's Professor Li."
Wu Pingting's heart skipped a beat, and her pupils constricted. "Professor Li?"
"right."
"Did you say anything specific?"
"I don't know about that. I was just delivering the message and didn't ask any other questions. But judging from Professor Li's expression, it shouldn't be a bad thing."
Could it be that... Jiang Fuyue has been eliminated and she is being approached to discuss the replacement?
"Okay, I'll be there now, thank you."
"You're welcome."
Wu Pingting tried her best to suppress her excitement, but the corners of her mouth still rose unconsciously.
Now thinking back to Jiang Fuyue's harsh words, he might be angry out of shame.
He pretends to be calm on the surface, but in fact he cares more than anyone else.
But why did she suspect herself?
Wu Pingting could never understand this.
Is it just because she is seventh?
Putting aside her speculation for the moment, Wu Pingting walked briskly into the office.
A quarter of an hour later, she ran out with red eyes.
At the end of the corridor, Jiang Fuyue leaned against a pillar, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
When Wu Bingting saw her, she froze in her tracks and gritted her teeth to hold back the tears that were welling up in her eyes, but her cheeks couldn't bear the burden and turned red.
Jiang Fuyue: "It's you."
"So what if it's me?" Wu Pingting sneered, no longer looking like the innocent little white rabbit she had before. Her eyes were fierce and she was gritting her teeth.
"Nothing, I just suddenly felt a little emotional. You can't judge a person by his appearance."
"Jiang Fuyue, there's no need to be so sarcastic. Yes, I was the one who reported you, but shouldn't you have been reported?! You secretly gave Chen Cheng and Tan Jiaxi extra lessons, and it wasn't enough for you to get first place yourself, you even had to force other students to take your place. Do you know how long I've been preparing for this training camp? How much hard work I've put in?"
"You have no idea! You only rely on your high IQ and quick answers to easily obliterate others, so work hard. Not only that, you also want to make your own success a blessing for everyone else, and let your lackeys also get into the national team. You've taken up four spots, and there are only six in total!"
"What's the difference between you and those parasites who abuse their power for personal gain and exploit connections to advance their own people? Jiang Fuyue, you're truly disgusting!"
"Are you done?" Jiang Fuyue said calmly, as if she wasn't the one being scolded. "Okay, it's my turn then."
