Chapter 88 Chapter 88 Exclusive
After a long while, Lin Yimu's tangled expression calmed down a little, but he was still wondering how Zhang Hechang told Professor Jiang about his affairs.
Although he knew intellectually that Zhang Hechang and the others were right to ask the professor to do this, after all, Country Z really needed the reward in Lin Yimu's hands, but Lin Yimu still didn't know how to face Professor Jiang.
Regardless of the true story, it is indeed unfair to other students for Lin Yimu to give him special treatment. Professor Jiang, as a teacher, would definitely not be happy about it no matter what the reason.
After hesitating for a while, Lin Yimu opened his mouth and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Professor Jiang who noticed his expression and smiled, "Don't worry, Xiaomu. Although I was a little unhappy when I first found out, I thought about it carefully afterwards. You are very outstanding yourself, so it is not surprising that you were designated to join the national team. And the higher-ups didn't directly select you, you still need to take the tests at each stage, and the special training I'm giving you here is just to help you sort out the knowledge you have already learned."
Lin Yimu listened to the professor's explanation in a daze. It took him a long time to extract some information from the professor's long speech.
"Professor, do you mean to say that the people above specifically designated me to join the national team? Did anyone else say anything else?" Lin Yimu tilted his head with a head full of question marks. This seemed to be different from what he thought?
Professor Jiang looked at Lin Yimu in surprise and said, "Why do you ask that, Xiaomu? Because you solved the mathematical conjecture, the people above saw your ability and appointed you to the national team. This is also because our country has not won a gold medal in the IMO competition for so many years. Seeing your hope, of course they will take it very seriously. However, considering the other students, they still let you take the exam."
Professor Jiang paused for a moment, then continued, "As for why I asked you to give me some special training, it's the same reason I just told you. It's just in case, and it's also to help you win glory for the country at the IMO competition, preferably with a gold medal."
Lin Yimu nodded suddenly, smiled a little embarrassedly and said: "Thank you, Professor. Although this indicator is a bit stressful, I will try my best. I will trouble you for the next period of time."
Lin Yimu said this while feeling relieved in his heart. Fortunately, he thought Zhang Hechang had told Professor Jiang that his system had to complete the mission. Now that he knew that Professor Jiang didn't know about the system, Lin Yimu felt relieved. He didn't even care that he might be considered as having used a backdoor by someone who knew the situation.
Professor Jiang looked at Lin Yi Mu who had returned to his usual self and sighed silently in his heart. However, thinking of Lin Yi Mu's excellence, he couldn't help but show a glimmer of hope on his face. Maybe Lin Yi Mu could really win the IMO championship. After all, such a difficult mathematical conjecture had been solved.
Then Professor Jiang thought about the course schedule and said to Lin Yimu, "In the next week, you have to come to my office during lunch break. I will help you sort out the knowledge you have learned systematically. I can't help you with anything else."
Lin Yimu nodded when he heard this, and then he thought about what he had said before about going to the Physics Department to take classes for free, so he asked, "Professor, can I still go to the Physics Department to take classes for free in the future?"
"Sure, as long as you feel you have no problems with math, you can go to the Physics Department to take classes. If you are good at physics as well as math, maybe you can ask Mr. Zheng to give you some special lessons." Professor Jiang said with a smile, looking at the somewhat nervous Lin Yimu.
After Lin Yimu got the answer, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry, Professor Jiang. I will definitely not let you down in mathematics!"
Professor Jiang nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, then looked at the time and found that it was already late, so he asked Lin Yimu to return to the class.
Lin Yimu had just returned to the classroom and sat down when he was surrounded by Huang Minglei and two others. Before he could say a word, Cheng Xiuyuan, who saw the commotion here, also came over.
"What are you talking about?" Cheng Xiuyuan looked at Lin Yimu and the others with curiosity.
Lin Yimu looked at Cheng Xiuyuan who came over to join in the fun, and helplessly held his forehead and said, "Why are you here too? Class is about to start, aren't you afraid that Professor Jiang will come over?"
Cheng Xiuyuan put the book in his hand on the desk next to him with a nonchalant look, then sat down and said, "It's okay, I'll sit here from now on."
Lin Yimu looked at Cheng Xiuyuan's actions and said nothing. Instead, he glanced at the four people who were full of curiosity and thirst for knowledge. He did not intend to tell the truth about what had just happened. After all, no matter how good their friends were, they would have some alienation in their hearts when they knew that he was called by the professor to give him special treatment. Moreover, they were not only friends but also competitors now.
So Lin Yimu just said that he had talked to Professor Jiang again about helping to substitute for the class, trying to cover up the matter.
But he forgot that there was another Cheng Xiuyuan here who was completely unaware that he was helping the professor teach.
"What did you say?! You're going to substitute for Professor Jiang next? Does that mean you're going to teach us?"
A shocked shout came into the ears of Lin Yimu and the other two, which made their ears feel uncomfortable.
With Cheng Xiuyuan's shout, the students who were studying silently in the class were attracted and looked at Lin Yimu and others with surprise.
Afterwards, the originally quiet classroom immediately exploded, and everyone started asking Lin Yimu questions.
"No way! Lin Yimu, are you going to help Professor Jiang teach us number theory? Is this true?" This was the question asked by the shocked student.
"Is this true? Are you bragging? Are you really qualified to be a substitute teacher?" This was a person who did not trust Lin Yimu and was even unwilling to accept him.
As for the two boys who had said sarcastic things about Lin Yimu in the bathroom before, after hearing the news, they didn't believe it at first, but then when they realized what was going on, their faces turned pale and they felt a little guilty.
Lin Yi Mu and the others had already reacted when Cheng Xiuyuan shouted. They had forgotten that Cheng Xiuyuan was not aware of Lin Yi Mu's substitute teaching for the professor, so they knew something bad was going to happen as soon as he finished speaking.
Lin Yimu looked at Huang Minglei and others for help, but they all gave Lin Yimu a helpless look and told him to solve the problem himself.
Lin Yi Mu covered his face in pain, then put on a difficult smile and looked at everyone and said: "Actually, regarding this matter, I only help out with classes when Professor Jiang is busy with his research, and it's just a number theory class. I think I should have no problem in this area." Lin Yi Mu stuttered a little when he first spoke, but became confident again when he talked about the courses he was good at.
The students who were waiting for Lin Yi Mu's answer looked at his confident look. Although they knew that Lin Yi Mu's grades were very good and he might really have the ability to teach them, they felt a little uncomfortable. However, they did not have the confidence to refute. They could only nod blankly after getting the definite answer, and then continue to discuss in a low voice with others. However, their ears were always perked up to eavesdrop on the conversation between Lin Yi Mu and others.
Cheng Xiuyuan watched the whispers of the class, knowing that he had caused trouble for Lin Yimu due to his carelessness. He could only look at Lin Yimu with an awkward and tangled expression, and after a long while he said awkwardly: "Yes, I'm sorry, I caused you trouble."
Lin Yimu also knew that letting everyone know in advance that he was substituting for the professor would have some impact on him, but now that it had happened, and it was his own negligence, he couldn't blame others, so he could only wave his hand to indicate that it was okay.
"It's okay. It was my own negligence. Besides, everyone will know about this sooner or later."
After hearing Lin Yimu's words, Cheng Xiuyuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but then he became a little confused as to why Professor Jiang asked Lin Yimu to help with the class. Even if the professor was very busy, didn't he still have his own students?
Thinking of this, Cheng Xiuyuan also asked this question.
"I just wanted to go to the Physics Department to attend classes in my free time, so I told Professor Jiang directly. He asked me to substitute for the class as a way to consolidate the knowledge I had learned. Moreover, I would go to Professor Jiang's place to prepare during lunch breaks this week." In order to answer some unnecessary questions, Lin Yimu deliberately raised his voice when explaining to Cheng Xiuyuan. The last sentence was also to find an excuse for going to Professor Jiang's office the following week, for fear of arousing other people's suspicion in the future.
It's not that Lin Yimu deliberately didn't tell the truth to everyone, but he couldn't afford to bet on people's hearts. What if someone felt that it was unfair and was upset, and caused trouble for him in the next training camp? Although he could solve it, he didn't want to create unnecessary trouble.
As for Huang Minglei and the others, Lin Yimu was a little hesitant, because he really regarded them as friends, so he felt uncomfortable hiding the matter from them. He just couldn't decide whether to tell them or not.
He was afraid that telling them would cause a rift between him and them, and he was also afraid of losing these friends. After all, from his previous life to now, he had only made a few friends with whom he could talk and make progress together.
After Lin Yimu finished his explanation, the students who had been paying attention to this side had even more complicated feelings. They already had to try their best to learn a subject, but others still had spare energy to learn other subjects, and it seemed that they were as good at other subjects as mathematics. This made these gifted students feel deeply frustrated.
Even Cheng Xiuyuan, who believed that he was no worse than Lin Yimu, looked at Lin Yimu with a complicated look, and his heart was full of frustration.
Only Huang Minglei, Yuan Mingxu and Ke Chengyan, who had a good relationship with Lin Yimu, did not feel anything. Huang Minglei was used to it and never thought that he was inferior to anyone. Yuan Mingxu did not care about these things at all, and Ke Chengyan was used to it. After all, the competitive pressure in the second high school was no less than the pressure Lin Yimu gave him, which would only arouse his motivation and fighting spirit.
