Chapter 98 Chapter 98 Exclusive
After everyone's emotions had almost recovered, Professor Wan took the others to have lunch. On the way back to the hotel, because Professor Wan had to participate in jury coordination in the next few days, there were only two observer teachers to accompany them out for a walk. So he reminded everyone of the precautions they should take when going out in the next few days.
After Lin Yimu and his companions returned to the hotel, Professor Wan was called away, and they all ran to Lin Yimu's room to listen to him explain today's three questions, especially the last one, which was a number theory question.
"My last question uses the sieve method. I believe you must have some understanding of the sieve method. Next, I will explain to you the application of the sieve method in number theory problems, especially the question in today's exam." Lin Yimu took out his notebook and wrote down the last big question of the day.
After hearing Lin Yimu's words, the eyes of the others were even brighter than when they heard the first two questions. Huang Minglei's expression was even more relaxed as he said, "It really is the sieving method. I also used the sieving method for the last question. Fortunately, there was no mistake. I just don't know if the result is correct."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yimu rolled his eyes at him unhappily, then turned his gaze to look at the other people and found that except for Xiao Jingyuan who still looked a little gloomy, Yuan Mingxu, Ke Chengyan and Cheng Xiuyuan were still unsure, but at least they looked much more relaxed.
"Okay, okay, don't worry about whether you can solve this problem or not. Now let's look at the last question." Lin Yimu spoke to break everyone's depressed mood and began to divert everyone's attention by explaining the test questions.
It was not until Lin Yimu finished explaining the topic to everyone that they discussed going out for a walk around the neighborhood tomorrow and buying some local specialties to bring back to their relatives and friends. Then everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
The next day, Lin Yimu and his friends left the hotel together after breakfast. Originally, the two observer teachers said they were going together, but they were called away for something urgent, so they had to let Lin Yimu and his friends go out by themselves, and they gave them instructions for a long time.
Lin Yimu and his group of six wandered aimlessly along the streets they had walked before, and went to join in the fun when they saw anything interesting. It was July, which happened to be the hottest time of the year, and the six of them finally couldn't stand the midday heat anymore, so they found a Chinese restaurant with a good environment to eat and cool off.
The Chinese restaurant they found was the most popular one near the beach, and in more than half an hour's walk they would reach the pharmacy that Lin Yimu and Huang Minglei had gone to last time. Not far from the pharmacy, on the central beach, was the city's most conspicuous casino.
Looking at the pointed roof of the casino that could be seen from such a distance, Lin Yi Mu was really curious about what was inside. Last time, he didn't take a close look because he had to buy medicinal wine for several teachers, so this time Lin Yi Mu was a little eager to try it out.
Although he knew that his idea was wrong, seeing a casino for the first time in his two lives aroused Lin Yimu's curiosity. So he looked at everyone hesitantly and suggested, "After dinner, let's go to the central beach to see the most conspicuous casino in Mar del Plata? By the way, let's see if there are any specialties for sale nearby. What do you think?"
While waiting for the meal to be served, several people were discussing where they would go to play. Yuan Mingxu, like Lin Yimu, was also very curious about the place where people could gamble openly, so he suggested going there to take a look. However, he was worried that the other five people would not want to go, so he did not say anything.
Now that Lin Yimu had brought it up first, he immediately responded, "Yes, let's go there and take a look. We don't have to go in, but just walk around outside. I'm really curious about that place."
After hearing the two's proposal, Cheng Xiuyuan and his friends, who were still hesitating about where to go, looked up at the two in surprise, and finally said uncertainly: "Isn't this bad? We are all still students, and places like casinos are said to be quite chaotic. If something happens, we won't be able to escape."
Huang Minglei and Ke Chengyan were also somewhat tempted, but now they were a little hesitant after hearing Cheng Xiuyuan's words. When Lin Yimu made this suggestion, he did not think of this. He just felt that it was a bit far away last time, and it would be nice to take a walk around the area and take a closer look this time.
Hearing Cheng Xiuyuan's worries, he felt that it was better to be safe than sorry. If something really happened, it would be difficult to deal with, so in the end, it could only be left unresolved.
Finally, the few of them unanimously decided to go to the nearby shopping malls and streets to buy some things to bring back home. This seems to have become a must-do activity for everyone traveling abroad.
Although they were going to bring local specialties for their family, they had four days to prepare, so they did not rush straight to the destination. Instead, they planned to walk along the signposts. If they encountered an unfamiliar route, they would ask a passerby. In the end, perhaps because they were still thinking about visiting the casino, they came to a dry goods store not far from the casino.
Several people looked at the dry goods store in front of them, then raised their heads to look at the magnificent casino gate half a street away from them, looked at each other and finally couldn't help laughing.
"I say, it seems that Lin Yimu and I are not the only ones who want to come here and take a look. Your bodies are very honest." Yuan Mingxu smiled meaningfully and looked at Cheng Xiuyuan and others who were walking in front.
"Well... this is purely an accident. It was the road pointed out by the locals. I can only say that we are destined to meet this place and come and see it." Cheng Xiuyuan coughed lightly, turned his head and said proudly.
Seeing him like this, the other people couldn't help but laugh. It was Cheng Xiuyuan who mentioned the search for useful information this time, and he was also the one who asked for directions. So the final result was obvious.
Everyone laughed for a while, but when they saw Cheng Xiuyuan frowning and looking at them with an obviously annoyed look on his face, they held back their laughter and called him to go to the casino. Since they were already here, they might as well go and observe carefully and gain some experience.
The six of them crossed half the street and came to the other side. They stood at the corner not too far away and looked at the building that looked very European in style. From time to time, they discussed which famous cars were passing by. After all, there is no boy who doesn't like cars.
When several people were discussing heatedly, Lin Yimu inadvertently raised his head and met a man's cold and indifferent gaze. This made him forget what he wanted to say next and his eyes were full of surprise.
Why is he here? Are you coming to a place like this to discuss business?
I heard that many big bosses like to go to some unreserved places to discuss business. Could he be the same?
Lin Yimu's eyes were full of confusion and disbelief. He really couldn't connect such a solemn and cold temperament and extremely handsome man with those pot-bellied bosses.
When He Xiuji's eyes met Lin Yimu's, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly recovered and walked slowly in the direction of the few people, followed by a male secretary.
In fact, the moment he got off the car, He Xiu Ji noticed several young students standing in the corner and looking over here, because among the adults coming and going, the young faces of several boys were really conspicuous. Everyone who walked into the casino or came out of it would not be able to help but take a few glances at them, so they themselves thought that the position they were standing in was hidden.
Among these students, the one lazily leaning against the wall could only be his troublesome nephew. Looking at the casino in front of him and remembering what Yuan Mingxu said before, they would come here to participate in this year's IMO competition, He Xiuji roughly guessed what they were doing here.
But this doesn't mean that he won't teach him a lesson. How could students like them come to such a place where all kinds of people mix? Without considering the consequences at all.
Thinking of this, He Xiuji quickened his pace and walked towards Yuan Mingxu and the others, which made the secretary following behind him a little confused. Why did the boss who was about to go in suddenly change direction?
Seeing the other person walking towards them with a sullen face, Lin Yimu suddenly felt a little panicked. He quickly reached out and poked Yuan Mingxu, who was commenting on the car with others, either admiringly or with disdain.
Yuan Mingxu turned to look at Lin Yimu with some confusion and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you poking me?"
"Your uncle is here." Lin Yimu whispered as he watched the man getting closer.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Mingxu said casually: "You know my uncle, he is so busy, how could he come back to a place like this." He waved his hand nonchalantly, and then boldly suggested: "We have finished looking at this place, it's not interesting at all, it would be great if we could go inside and take a look."
Lin Yimu covered his face with a headache when he heard this, and did not respond. The other people also suddenly fell silent. Then a cold voice with a hint of anger suddenly sounded, "Yuan Mingxu, you are really brave. It's not enough to stand outside and watch. You even want to go into the casino to watch. Do you want to gamble a few times later?"
Hearing the voice, Yuan Mingxu stood up straight reflexively, the lazy look on his face disappeared, and he quickly turned his gaze to the direction where the voice came from. Just in front of him on the right stood a man in a suit and tie with a stern face. Who else could it be but his uncle He Xiuji.
"Uncle, uncle! Why are you here?!" Yuan Mingxu asked in surprise and stuttering.
He Xiuji stood in front of the group, his eyes fixed on Yuan Mingxu. Seeing his expression, he frowned and said, "I should be the one asking you this. Didn't you say you came here to participate in the competition? Then what are you doing now?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Mingxu remembered that he had not done anything bad, and immediately said confidently: "We finished the exam yesterday, and we can wander around freely for the next four days. I just heard that gambling is allowed here, and the most conspicuous building is actually a casino, so I came here out of curiosity to take a look."
He Xiuji's expression did not relax after hearing Yuan Mingxu's words, and his brows did not relax, but even frowned more tightly. "Then what did you just say about going in to take a look? Do you still want to try your hand? Do you know how chaotic it is here? Just standing here will attract a lot of attention. If you are not careful and get knocked unconscious and taken away and sold, you will be stupid enough to count the money for them."
He Xiuji looked at the half-grown children in front of him and felt a headache about their behavior that showed no sense of crisis at all. Even his usually calm mood could not be maintained.
After listening to his venomous words, Lin Yimu and his companions were so ashamed that they dared not speak a word. Although they felt that his words were really hurtful, they could not deny that he cared about them. Besides, this place did have a lot of people coming and going, and no one could guarantee that the situation he described would not happen.
Finally, Yuan Mingxu couldn't stand this depressing atmosphere anymore and stood up and said, "I'm sorry, uncle, we didn't think things through. I was just talking and I really didn't plan to go in. We're just standing here and taking a look. We still have to buy some things later and then we should go back, otherwise the teacher will look for us later." Yuan Mingxu explained with his head down.
In fact, what he said was not wrong. He was just saying it because they were walking all the way here and it was not too early when they arrived here. They planned to look around for a while and then buy some useful information to take back.
After hearing Yuan Mingxu's explanation, He Xiuji's expression softened a little. Although he was still cold, at least his frown had relaxed.
He looked at the other people standing next to Yuan Mingxu, and finally his eyes stayed on Lin Yimu for a while, then he looked back at Yuan Mingxu and said, "Since you have nothing to do next time, then you can follow me. It's a good opportunity to study. Send me the address of the hotel you are staying in later, and go back early today."
After He Xiuji finished speaking, he turned around and left. The secretary standing behind him looked at Lin Yimu standing behind Yuan Mingxu with some surprise. Then, he thought of something, pushed his glasses, smiled an ambiguous smile, and quickly followed He Xiuji and left.
Only Lin Yimu, who noticed the other party's gaze, was left looking at the other party's departing back in confusion.
