Chapter 212 Four people were selected, with a total score of zero (Part 1)
The end of this small test also means that the NOI training camp is coming to an end.
Many parents have come to pick up their children. Those from local areas pack up and go home, and check the results tomorrow; those from other places take their children to tour the capital, go out for good food and drinks, and then go home after attending the closing ceremony tomorrow.
Fan Ye looked at the cars coming and going on campus and suddenly murmured, "It would be great if my father could come..."
Jiang Fuyue knew as soon as he heard that the child missed home. He was about to speak, but was interrupted by a shrill whistle before he said the first word.
The two men subconsciously turned around and saw a black BMW driving behind them.
The car was moving at a slow speed, almost like a turtle crawling, as if it was deliberately falling behind them.
The same scene happened on the first day of the camp. It was the same boulevard, the same BMW, and the same thing happened.
It’s just that the person in the car didn’t show up last time, but this time the passenger window was lowered. Lin Yuan turned her head to look at Jiang Fuyue with a provocative look in her eyes.
The next second, he seemed startled by the other party's cold gaze and quickly turned his gaze to Fan Ye.
"Hey, Duofu sister, didn't your family come from the country to pick you up?"
He said "Duofumei" on the left and "countryside" on the right, with a look of contempt and a bad tone.
Fan Ye gritted her teeth and said, "Listen carefully, my home is not in the countryside, it's on Duofu Island! You haven't been there, but you can't be so ignorant that you haven't even heard of it, right?"
"I--"
"So you really haven't heard of it? Fine, I don't blame you then," Fan Ye interrupted her. "As the saying goes, ignorance is not a crime. Most of us are very broad-minded."
The implication is: I'm not as petty as you.
Lin Yuan was interrupted and her face turned pale.
"Okay, Yuanyuan, close the window. The wind is strong." A woman's voice came from inside, spreading softly in the wind. Unfortunately, it contained a needle.
"Don't bother with strangers."
"Yeah! I'll listen to my mother..."
The windows rolled down and the car sped away.
Fan Ye pointed at her head, looking puzzled: "Is she...sick?"
Jiang Fuyue thought about it seriously, and replied seriously: "It's possible."
The two looked at each other, and then—
"Ha ha ha ha……"
That night, Lin Yuan did not return to the dormitory, but stayed in the most luxurious hotel in the capital with her parents.
"Yuanyuan, you got full marks in the previous exams, so this time should be no problem, right?" Mother Lin asked gently and gracefully as she sat in front of the dressing table.
Lin Yuan nodded, smiled and rubbed against her side, saying coquettishly: "Mom, you have asked several times, don't worry, there will be no problem!"
Mother Lin also smiled: "So confident?"
"certainly!"
"Our Yuanyuan is so great..."
Father Lin nodded beside him.
Mother Lin glanced at him and continued, "He's much more promising than Lin Yao from your uncle's family."
When Lin Yuan heard this, she immediately smiled.
Since childhood, everyone has been talking about how great Lin Yao is. She can dance, play the piano, has many certificates, and is beautiful. But she is like an ugly duckling next to a white swan, inconspicuous.
After the high school entrance examination, Lin Yao was admitted to No. 1 Middle School, while she was only admitted to No. 7 Middle School. Her relatives and friends looked at her with even more disgust, and even Lin's father and mother were looked down upon as well.
After that, Lin Yuan secretly vowed that she would surpass Lin Yao in one aspect and make everyone look at her with admiration!
Now this wish is about to come true...
Mother Lin also wants to rely on her daughter's performance this time to regain her face in front of relatives and friends, especially her arrogant sister-in-law!
The mother and daughter looked at each other, as if they had seen the dawn of victory.
Father Zhilin subconsciously frowned: "Why are you bringing up Big Brother and his family again?"
Mother Lin sneered, "Am I wrong? Our Yuanyuan is no more promising than Lin Yao? Tenth level piano? That's all empty talk. Students still have to rely on their grades. I heard that after Lin Yao entered No. 1 Middle School, she never made it into the top five in her grade. Our Yuanyuan can even get full marks in competitions!"
Lin's father: "You shouldn't talk about people behind their backs. This kind of praise and criticism can easily instill bad values in children."
"Hasn't their whole family been talking about us behind our backs enough? What do you mean by one stepping down and the other praising? Can you guarantee that they haven't stepped on us?"
Father Lin was speechless: "...I won't tell you anymore! It doesn't make sense!"
"Don't worry about your dad. He just likes to put his warm face on the cold butt. People don't even treat him as a brother."
"Yeah, I don't like my uncle's family either! Especially my aunt and Lin Yao, they're so pretentious..."
That night, Lin Yuan had an extremely sweet sleep, which was also her last good sleep before the truth was revealed.
On the second day, all fifteen members who were going to participate in this year's NOI training camp were present.
Parents are also allowed into the classroom with the head coach's permission.
Beneath the noisy chatter lies the anxiety and uneasiness about grades.
Not only are the students nervous, but the parents are even more nervous. Finally...
The head coach walked into the classroom with a teacup in one hand and a report card in the other.
The students held their breath and the parents stretched their necks.
"First of all, I would like to thank all the students for their cooperation during the training camp. Secondly, I would like to thank all the parents for their support and trust. As the head coach of this NOI training camp, I see infinite possibilities in every student here. Even if you cannot make the national team to participate in the IOI international competition this time, I believe that in the future you will stand higher and go further!"
A few words quickly aroused the students' emotions, but most parents did not take it seriously.
"It's all just empty talk. 'Infinite possibilities' is just a disguised form of appeasement."
"Yeah, that sounds good, but it's only true if you make the national team. It can add dozens of extra points to your college entrance exam score!"
"That's right, these teachers are the best at painting a rosy picture, promising something higher and farther. If they can't even take this first step well, what's the point of talking about the future?"
"But then again, there are too few places, only four..."
"Less is better, as it has a higher gold content. More is worthless!"
"That seems to be the case."
Coach: "...I won't go into further detail, as I know everyone is interested in the results. This is a printed copy of the results sheet, which will be circulated from the beginning. I'll also project the electronic version onto a white screen so everyone can view it directly."
After a commotion, the transcript was slowly passed back and then appeared on the curtain.
The top four are:
Jiang Fuyue, Fan Ye, Gao Zhaoming, Huang Hui!
Jiang Fuyue scored a perfect 600 on each of the five tests, earning a round of gasps.
Parent A: "Oh my god! This child always gets full marks on the test. He's amazing!"
Parent B: “Whose is it?”
No response.
"...Huh? Her parents didn't come?"
Parent C: "Jiang Fuyue, this name is quite unusual."
Parent D: "Alas, my child can't compare! But we don't have high expectations. Just being able to attend summer camp is great. We don't expect him to make the national team."
Parent E: "We think so too. The most important thing is participation, not the results."
"Who is the parent of the second-place winner? Fan Ye's parents? They're not here either? Oh, that's really..."
"Ask the third place winner, Gao Zhaoming's parents?"
"There's a fourth person, Huang Hui's parent?"
No one responded.
have to!
All the parents who didn’t come got in; none of the parents who came got in.
After the dust settled, some people were happy, some were sad, but the most shocked were Lin Yuan's family.
When Lin's mother looked at the report card, her first reaction was: "...Is there a mistake?"
Father Lin was also stunned.
Because on the transcript, the scores of several small tests after Lin Yuan’s name were blank, and the total score was 0!
With a loud bang——
Lin Yuan's mind exploded, her ears were buzzing, and all the sounds from the outside world faded away, leaving only her rapid breathing and accelerating heartbeat.
Why is this happening?
What about her five perfect scores?
She was ranked first and qualified to be selected for the national team, so why was she eliminated?
"Yuanyuan? Yuanyuan?!" Lin's mother called her.
"No... Impossible..." Lin Yuan looked at the report card and shook her head frantically, "I should be first, first with full marks!"
Mother Lin frowned suddenly: "My dear daughter, calm down first! If anything happens, your parents are here and will not let you suffer any grievances!"
Lin Yuan's body suddenly froze, and she stopped shaking her head. She looked at her mother blankly, "Mom... I don't have any grades."
Mother Lin's eyes darkened: "Don't panic, let me handle it."
How could someone be so blind as to plot against her daughter? Ha, do they think her family is easy to bully?
Her daughter's five perfect scores were taken away by someone else - this was Lin's mother's second reaction!
And the one who took the blame...
The woman's cold gaze fell on the three words "Jiang Fuyue" in the first row, followed by a string of full marks.
The first update is 3,000 words, and the second update will be around 6:30 pm. Please check the comment section for details.
