Chapter 89 Chapter 89 Exclusive
It was time for the afternoon class. Professor Jiang came to the classroom with the test papers everyone had done in the morning. His expression was still very serious, and no one could tell what the professor thought of everyone's test papers.
After Professor Jiang walked into the classroom, he put the test paper directly on the podium, and then said slowly: "I have marked everyone's test papers this morning. I have also understood your level of knowledge, and I have arranged the next teaching progress. I hope that everyone will take a good look at the mistakes after receiving the test paper." After Professor Jiang finished speaking, he handed the test paper in his hand to the students in the front row.
After Lin Yimu got his test paper, he looked at it and did not see any wrong questions on it, so he turned his attention to Professor Jiang standing on the podium.
When Professor Jiang saw that everyone had received their test papers, he looked at Lin Yimu and waved at him, saying, "Student Lin Yimu, come up."
Lin Yimu pointed at himself in confusion, "Me?"
"Yes, Lin Yimu, I'm talking about you. In the next period of time, you will be responsible for explaining this test paper to everyone." Professor Jiang nodded affirmatively and then stated his intention.
Lin Yimu didn’t quite understand what he said. It seemed that his substitute class time was not this afternoon, and didn’t the professor have time now?
Although Lin Yimu was full of doubts, he still obediently took his test paper and walked up to the podium.
The students sitting in their seats, listening to the conversation between Lin Yimu and Professor Jiang, felt the complex emotions that had been suppressed in their hearts surge up again. They looked at Lin Yimu with a hint of envy and jealousy involuntarily. Some students who thought their grades were not worse than Lin Yimu's were filled with resentment and unwillingness to accept the result. For a moment, the classroom was buzzing.
Professor Jiang on the podium didn't care about the discussions in the classroom. Instead, he looked at Lin Yimu in front of him with a smile and said, "Student Lin Yimu, it seems that many students in the audience are very dissatisfied with you. I wonder how you are going to solve this problem?"
Lin Yimu looked at the old professor who was watching the fun and didn't mind getting involved, smiled helplessly and said, "Don't worry, professor, I'm sure I can do it." Lin Yimu said and put the test paper in his hand on the desk.
Professor Jiang nodded when he heard this, then turned around and raised his hand to the students in the audience. After the students quieted down, he said, "Okay, I have an experiment to do this afternoon, so Lin Yi Mu will take my place in the class from now on." After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for the students to react, and didn't even care whether Lin Yi Mu could teach the students well next time. He turned around and left the classroom.
After the professor disappeared at the door of the classroom, Lin Yimu turned his gaze back to the students sitting in the class. For a while, both sides stared at each other in silence.
After a long while, Lin Yimu coughed lightly to let everyone come back to their senses, then he picked up the test paper and said, "Okay, let's explain the questions on the test paper."
Lin Yimu wrote the first test question on the blackboard, and without caring whether the students were listening carefully or not, he started explaining the question directly. He explained every step in great detail, so that the students who had only a vague understanding of elementary number theory could fully understand it, and gradually changed their views of Lin Yimu.
The originally noisy discussions in the classroom gradually quieted down, leaving only Lin Yimu's slow and clear voice lecturing, which made all the students immersed in the ocean of number theory.
It was only about two hours until Lin Yimu finished explaining the entire paper. In the remaining afternoon, Lin Yimu thought about it and began to explain the course content of elementary number theory to everyone, so that everyone could clearly understand their own level.
In the following period of time, apart from attending his own classes and classes at the Physics Department, Lin Yimu would occasionally substitute for Professor Jiang in his classes, which gradually convinced the students who were originally dissatisfied with Lin Yimu, especially the two boys who had said sarcastic words to Lin Yimu in the bathroom before.
On the third day of Lin Yimu's substitute teaching for Professor Jiang, he finally found an opportunity to teach the two boys a lesson. However, he did not do anything bad. Instead, he gave everyone a question that was as difficult as the IMO competition questions.
Of course, Lin Yimu was not really seeking revenge, but was gradually helping everyone get used to the difficulty of the math Olympiad questions so that there wouldn't be such a big gap in the exams. This was also why Professor Jiang asked Lin Yimu to do this.
When a group of students came to Lin Yimu and others for help because they couldn't solve the problem, Lin Yimu didn't refuse. But when the two boys came to ask questions hesitantly, Lin Yimu smiled politely and said, "It's okay for me to explain the problem to you, but you must apologize to me and admit that you are a two-faced villain."
Upon hearing this, the two boys' faces immediately turned pale, with hesitation and timidity in their eyes. They knew in their hearts that what they had said in the bathroom before might have been told to Lin Yimu by Cheng Xiuyuan, and now that person was here to teach them a lesson.
Although they thought so, the two boys still held a glimmer of hope in their hearts. The boy who took the lead in saying sour words to Lin Yimu said weakly: "We, we didn't do anything, why did you humiliate us like this and ask us to apologize!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yimu glanced at the two of them with a half-smile and said nothing. However, Huang Minglei, Yuan Mingxu and Ke Chengyan, who were sitting nearby, glared at the two boys angrily, causing the two boys who were still stubborn to shrink back.
The students in the class who were originally concentrating on studying the questions, after hearing the movement from Lin Yimu's side, all looked in the direction of the few people with curiosity.
Lin Yimu continued to wait for a while, and seeing that the two boys were a little timid but still stubborn, he stopped waiting and directly took out his mobile phone and clicked on the recording interface.
"I've given you a chance. Since you don't want it, don't blame me for the embarrassment." As he said that, Lin Yi Mu opened the recording file. What came from his phone was the sour words the two boys said to Lin Yi Mu in the bathroom.
The class, which had been originally quiet, became noisy after listening to the recording. Everyone pointed at the two boys and talked about them, making the two men, who already looked unhappy, even more unbearable.
The two boys' eyes gradually turned red as they listened to the accusations and discussions about them in the class. Finally, they gritted their teeth and closed their eyes. Then they followed the boys who said bad things about Lin Yimu and said in a dry voice, "I'm sorry, Lin Yimu, I shouldn't have said bad things about you behind your back. I'm a two-faced person. I'm sorry!" After that, they stopped thinking about the problem and turned back to their seats.
The boy who had taken the lead in saying sarcastic things to Lin Yimu, seeing that his companions had already left, apologized to Lin Yimu with red eyes and choked voice, but he did not go back to his seat directly. Instead, he asked with a stiff upper lip: "I have already apologized as you asked, and I have embarrassed myself in front of everyone. Can you explain the problem to me now?"
Lin Yi Mu took back his phone, looked at the boy in surprise, smiled silently and said: "Okay, I will do what I say, and our grudges will be wiped out." After saying this, Lin Yi Mu began to explain the problem to the other party seriously.
After he finished talking about the things that the other party found confusing, Lin Yimu suddenly said, "In fact, I admire you very much. If it were the old me, I might be like your companion just now, and I would not have the courage to ask questions again, and even feel ashamed to face people. But grudges are grudges, and learning is learning. I will not use public power for personal gain. Go and comfort your companion."
Wang Junyuan listened to Lin Yimu's words, feeling both ashamed and grateful. He was silent for a while and whispered, "I'm sorry, thank you." After that, he immediately lowered his head and quickly returned to his seat.
Everyone in the class saw that Lin Yimu himself didn't care about this matter. Although they were also unhappy about it, they didn't say anything more. Instead, they took the time to study the number theory problem given by Lin Yimu.
After that, everything went back to normal with classes going on as usual. Although the other boy was still a little shy, he was able to come to Lin Yi Mu to ask questions normally, and was even more active than before. As for what the two boys said, that was none of Lin Yi Mu's business.
Half a month passed by unknowingly. One day, Lin Yimu returned to the dormitory from the Physics School after attending a class. Before he had time to sit down and rest, he received a call from Professor Jiang. Lin Yimu wanted to ask what was the matter, but Professor Jiang did not elaborate and just told him to go to the office first.
Lin Yimu came to Professor Jiang's office with a head full of questions. As soon as he entered, before he had time to ask, Professor Jiang, who was smiling, pulled him to sit on the sofa next to him and said, "Student Lin Yimu, congratulations!"
Lin Yimu was a little puzzled when he heard this. He glanced at Professor Jiang who was very happy. He wondered what he had to congratulate him for. Nothing had happened recently.
"Professor, what are you talking about? What do I have to congratulate you for?"
Professor Jiang looked at Lin Yimu with great satisfaction and joy and said, "Of course, you are now a researcher at the Mathematical Research Center of Peking University. Next, you can apply for research projects independently. Isn't this a good thing?"
Lin Yimu listened with a question mark in his eyes. He didn't quite understand what the professor was talking about. When did he become a researcher at the Mathematical Research Center of Peking University? Didn’t he apply to join the Mathematical Research Center? The most important thing is that he should still be a high school student now, right?
Thinking of this, Lin Yimu said it hesitantly, especially since he was mentioned that he was still a high school student.
Professor Jiang looked at him with amusement and explained, "It's nothing. Even if you are still a high school student, you have already signed a contract with Peking University. You can register your name in the Peking University Mathematical Research Center. As for your application form, I submitted it for you after your paper was published. As for why it was not approved until now, it was because everyone had some debate about your joining, and now we have reached a consensus."
Lin Yimu listened to Professor Jiang's words in confusion the whole time. He didn't know how to start the conversation for a moment. It was impossible for him to say that he didn't want to, but at the same time, he had a feeling of unreality in his heart, as if he was dreaming.
