Chapter 97 Chapter 97 Exclusive
Seeing Lin Yimu coming over, Professor Wan smiled and asked, "How is it, are you sure you can get full marks this time?"
Hearing this, Lin Yimu smiled with relief and said, "It's not a big deal, as long as the organizing committee doesn't get too serious about the calculation steps and formulas used, getting full marks should be no problem."
Professor Wan asked curiously, "Oh, is there something wrong with the mathematical formula and calculation steps you used?"
“I don’t think so. I just used the sieve method on the last number theory question. For the other two questions, I omitted some unimportant steps, but it did not affect the results.” Lin Yimu thought about his answering method and said.
Professor Wan's smile widened upon hearing this. He patted Lin Yimu on the shoulder and said, "You are great. The calculation steps may be very important in normal exams, but for competitions, as long as they are not severely cut, there is no problem. As for the mathematical formulas used, that is even less of a problem. As long as you have the answer and the process, no one will care even if you use formulas that are only used in college or graduate school."
Seeing Professor Wan's obviously happy expression, Lin Yimu couldn't help but smile. Then Professor Wan changed the subject and asked Lin Yimu about his plans after returning to China. "After returning to China, will you stay in the capital and report to Peking University directly, or go back to Yancheng first?"
"After returning home, I plan to go back to Yancheng first. After all, there is still a month before the start of the school year at Peking University." Lin Yimu chose to go home first without hesitation. After all, he could spend this month at home with his parents. Otherwise, he might not have time when he is busier in the future.
Hearing this, Professor Wan looked at Lin Yimu with a triumphant smile in his eyes and said, "Since you are going back to Yancheng, why don't you accept an interview when the time comes? Someone from the Yancheng Education Bureau called me earlier and said that Yancheng TV station wants to interview you. By the way, you can also promote the fact that Yancheng has produced a genius like you, so that Yancheng will not suffer from the outflow of talent every year."
"Why me? Can't Huang Minglei and the others do it too?" Lin Yimu scratched his head in confusion.
It's really outrageous. In his previous life, he couldn't find any chance to become famous, but in this life, he wanted to study peacefully and the opportunity came to him. Is he so lucky in this life?
But he doesn’t want to be in the entertainment industry anymore, so he doesn’t really want to participate. What should he do?
Professor Wan certainly noticed Lin Yimu's expression. Although he did not agree with this approach, it would not be impossible to give it a try if it could retain talents in Yancheng.
“Actually, you don’t have to worry. It’s just an interview about study. By the way, you can talk about your study experience and how you persisted and achieved such an excellent level. There is nothing else.” Professor Wan sighed and comforted.
Then he answered Lin Yimu's question, "It's not that other people can't do it, but you are the most famous among them. If you want to attract the attention of the general audience, you really have to be the one." At this point, Professor Wan looked at Lin Yimu with some sarcasm, "Besides, you have the physique of being a hot search."
Lin Yimu felt embarrassed when he heard that. He himself didn't know why he could be on the hot search list no matter big or small things happened, and he didn't want it to be like this at all. Who knew that he could touch the nerves of those netizens every time.
Although Lin Yimu was still a little hesitant, he knew that what Professor Wan said made sense, and he only needed to answer some questions to contribute to Yancheng, which was a good thing. After all, Yancheng was where he had lived since he was a child, and he also wanted it to have better development.
Lin Yimu, who had figured it out, stopped worrying about it and nodded in agreement with Professor Wan's request. "Okay, but I can't guarantee that it will really work. After all, my learning methods are similar to everyone else's."
Professor Wan shook his head upon hearing this and said, "You don't understand. Even if you say nonsense during the interview, as long as there is a role model like you, it will definitely inspire a large number of students to work hard. This is rare."
"Well, I'm really going to become the public enemy of the students. I hope that these students who are under great pressure will not criticize me at that time." Lin Yimu sighed deeply and said helplessly.
Professor Wan smiled and patted Lin Yimu on the shoulder when he heard this. "What nonsense are you talking about? This is a good thing! It's not good to let you go on TV openly!"
"Yes, yes, thank you, professor, and thank you to all the leaders of the Yancheng Education Bureau for giving me this opportunity."
Lin Yimu and Professor Wan joked with each other for a few more sentences, and then Professor Wan looked at his watch and found that it was already lunch time, but there were still no students coming out of the examination room. He said, "Forget it, I guess they may have to wait until the exam is over before they can come out. Let's find a place to eat first. We can't wait here with empty stomachs."
Lin Yimu looked at the empty exit of the examination room, then looked around at the deputy team leaders of various countries who had almost all left, and went to find a place to eat with Professor Wan.
As for the observers brought by each team, they are now distributed in various examination rooms to supervise the students' exams, and they must follow the students taking the exams.
Professor Wan and I found a Chinese restaurant nearby and had a not-so-authentic Chinese meal, but Lin Yimu felt it was better than three meals a day of Western food and seafood. No matter how delicious the food is, you will get tired of it if you eat it every day, so it's nice to change the taste occasionally.
When the two returned to the exit of the examination room, they found that they had not come out yet, and the few scattered people were from other countries, which made them very confused.
Professor Wan: "What's going on? According to their level, they shouldn't have been out for so long?" Then he looked at Lin Yimu and asked, "You have been with them for so long, you should understand their level of knowledge. They haven't come out for so long, are the questions in this competition really that difficult?"
Looking at today's exam, Lin Yimu was still the first one to come out, and he even looked more relaxed than on the first day of the exam. This made Professor Wan feel that the difficulty of the questions he had thought of should not be too high, and should not be able to stump Lin Yimu, so he was not surprised at all.
But now seeing that the remaining few people haven't come out yet, this surprised him.
Even though their accumulated knowledge is not as good as Lin Yimu's, judging from their past achievements, they should have no problem getting good results in the IMO competition. It's just that the exam time is almost over and the results have not come out yet, which makes Professor Wan a little worried, although only a few people from other countries have come out.
"It should... not be that difficult?" Lin Yimu was also a little uncertain. After thinking about the situation of the others, he said, "According to their level, they should have come out by now. Even if the others didn't come out, Huang Minglei and Yuan Mingxu wouldn't be so late."
Professor Wan nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this, his eyes never leaving the examination room exit until the exam time was up, when students began to walk out of the examination room one after another, but they all looked very listless and out of energy.
When Huang Minglei and the others came over, they all had sad faces, but their eyes were fixed on Lin Yimu, which made him very confused.
In the end, it was Huang Minglei who couldn't help but complain first: "Today's questions are too difficult. They are even harder than the previous IMO difficult questions the professor gave us. It must be because of you, a monster, that the organizing committee is so crazy."
Lin Yimu looked at them like this and spread his hands helplessly, "What can I do? Who made me so outstanding?"
Lin Yimu's words drew the contempt of Huang Minglei and others, and then they began to complain about the perversion of the question.
"I couldn't solve the last question. It was too difficult. I'm sorry for holding everyone back." Xiao Jingyuan said with his head down in a lost tone.
The others shook their heads upon hearing this. “No, no, no, this is not just your fault. We didn’t do well in the exam either. Maybe we will collectively hold back the monster Lin.”
Everyone said that the responsibility lay with them, and began to admit their mistakes collectively. Even the usually taciturn Ke Chengyan and the lazy Yuan Mingxu were no longer their usual selves, with a serious and lost look on their faces.
Lin Yimu looked at everyone who was in a very depressed mood, but still wanted to take the responsibility on himself. He sighed helplessly, stepped in the middle of the group and said, "Okay, okay, now is not the time to take responsibility. Anyway, the exams are over, so let's skip this topic. Next, we can only wait for the results with peace of mind."
Professor Wan also nodded in agreement, and then said to the others, "You don't have to worry too much. Maybe everyone can get a good result. Your journey has ended. The next step is the review of the organizing committee. You should think about where to go for the next four days. After all, it's not easy to go abroad. After the exam, relax your nerves and don't push yourself too hard."
In fact, Professor Wan was not just saying this casually. He is still very confident in these kids. And seeing that the members of the national teams came out very late this time, we can tell that their strength should not be that good. I wonder if those countries that applied to increase the difficulty are regretting it now.
When Huang Minglei and his companions heard the professor's words, they just thought that the professor was comforting them. They lost interest in the topic, let alone going out to play.
"I'm not in the mood to play now. Even though the exam is over, I still feel bad. The third question was too difficult. I don't know if I got it right." Huang Minglei sighed.
Lin Yimu looked at Huang Minglei, who looked a little unhappy, and sighed in his heart before going forward to comfort him: "Okay, okay, isn't it just an exam? You are going to be an aerospace engineer in the future, how can you be discouraged by such a thing! Our country's aerospace industry is still waiting for you!"
Huang Minglei smiled and regained some spirits after hearing this, but then he said: "Can you continue to explain the third question to me this afternoon? I want to have a better idea in my mind." Huang Minglei sighed and continued: "Don't worry, I will definitely not be defeated by this little difficulty."
After hearing the conversation between the two, the crowd that had been silent gathered around and expressed their desire to listen together in the afternoon.
Seeing that everyone seemed to have regained their energy all of a sudden, Lin Yimu felt relieved. As long as they were not as listless as before, it would be okay for him to explain the questions to everyone, so everyone agreed.
