After Teacher Zhang led Wu Tong into the school, he first took her to where she would rest for the night.
"This time we're going to Hainan to participate in the competition. The provincial team has a total of ten participants, and they're also in the top ten of the provincial competition. Two from No. 1 Middle School, three from the Foreign Language School, and you and two from other urban areas. You're all temporarily staying in the Young Teachers' Apartment here, while the two from No. 7 Middle School are staying in their own dormitories!"
"The apartments are all double-roomed. Your roommate is Feng Yueyue, from Shangdu Foreign Languages College. She's the runner-up in this tournament and has already moved in. You and Feng Yueyue are the only girls selected for the provincial team this time!"
As they walked, Teacher Zhang briefly briefed Wu Tong on the provincial team's basic situation. While this year's provincial team still had a stronger male-dominated squad, with boys in the majority, the top and second spots were held by two young women, a fact no one dared to underestimate.
Feng Yueyue performed exceptionally well during the provincial team training camp a week in advance, outperforming all the other boys in the camp. Coming from a family of mathematicians, she trained for the Olympiad from a young age. Her provincial team training has significantly improved compared to her time at the Mathematical Union, and she's one of the top candidates for the provincial national team. The training instructors, including the Provincial Mathematical Society, are optimistic about her; she's their trusted supporter.
Wu Tong topped the list with full marks in the provincial competition, demonstrating her absolute excellence. However, she did not attend the training in advance, which caused some teachers and society members to complain, thinking that Wu Tong came from a small place and was proud and complacent just because she got good grades.
However, in the subsequent training, no matter whether it was the questions they faxed to her, the mock questions from the previous national CMO competitions or the real questions from the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), could stump this girl.
With someone at this level, whether they attend intensive training or not is meaningless! Truly talented players cannot be created by cramming and indoctrination!
Deep down, he was more optimistic about Wu Tong! This year's Mathematical Union Competition wasn't something anyone could achieve. He had a 40-point lead over the provincial runner-up!
Moreover, according to the records they retrieved afterwards, the supplementary test contained questions beyond the syllabus, but this girl was still able to hand in her paper two hours early, proving that this year's questions were difficult, but compared to other candidates, this girl was not stumped. She may have already started to learn university textbooks in mathematics, and her high school foundation is very solid!
"I live here too, in Room 102. You can always come to me if you have any questions!" He is not one of the teachers, but a member of the Provincial Mathematical Society. He currently teaches in the Department of Mathematics at Zhongyuan University. He was specially seconded here to train the provincial team members.
As they spoke, Teacher Zhang escorted Wu Tong to Room 106 on the first floor of the Young Teachers' Apartment and swiped his card to open the door. The apartment was quite nice, with a private bathroom at the entrance and two single beds inside, all with complete bedding. There was a desk at the head of the bed, and the colors were simple, bright, and clean.
Roommate Feng Yueyue should be in class at the moment, so no one is in the dormitory. However, it can be seen that Feng Yueyue has chosen the bed by the window, and Wu Tong directly puts the suitcase near the door.
She didn't bring much with her this time, just some books and a change of clothes. Worried she might need money, Teacher Jin put a thousand yuan in cash and a bank card in her wallet before she left. He repeatedly told her to add to her account if she needed anything, and to have the teacher accompany her to the bank if she ran out of money.
"Student Wu, why don't you take a break and walk around, or go to the training room? We'll all get together tonight for a simple meal to celebrate the end of training!"
"Teacher Zhang, please take me to the training classroom!" Without hesitation, Wu Tong picked up his backpack and prepared to go out with Teacher Zhang. There was no need to waste time in the dormitory.
The training classroom is in the first teaching building outside the dormitory area. It is not far from the residence and is very conveniently arranged. At this moment, the students participating in the training are all frowning and thinking about the questions given by the training teacher on the blackboard. Only a few people are writing.
Besides the provincial team members who had already started, there were some students in the back of the room who were noticeably more confused when reading the questions. According to Teacher Zhang, Wu Tong knew that they had received sponsorship fees to participate in the training.
Some of them finished high in the current Mathematics League, while others were preparing for the next one. The quality of this training camp was so high that parents, eager for their children to succeed, naturally went to great lengths to send their children here.
When Teacher Zhang brought Wu Tong in, the atmosphere in the training class became tense.
No one was stupid; on the contrary, anyone who could handle math had a high IQ. At this point, the only student the teacher could bring in was the one who had unexpectedly achieved a perfect score and topped the provincial rankings in this year's Mathematical Union. They'd learned about this on the first day of training, and that was why this person was gathering here today.
The teacher in charge of teaching in the class is another team leader, Zhang Ping, the recent head coach of the provincial team this year. He is tall and strong, with the appearance of a fierce Zhang Fei. Together with the gentle and refined teacher Zhang, they form a black and white duo in the students' perception. He has rich qualifications and is a provincial special teacher. He has trained many students to win first prizes in national competitions, and some of them are even members of the national team.
Seeing Wu Tong, he raised his eyebrows. He had seen many provincial firsts, but perfect scores were rare. Since he was a newcomer, he might as well show off his skills and abilities to see if he could control the situation!
"Wu Tong, right? Put your schoolbag somewhere and go up to the stage to do this problem on the blackboard!"
Today was the last day, and the question he had come up with was a difficult one. If Wu Tong could solve it on the spot, he wouldn't have any objections to Wu Tong not attending the training these days.
The student is capable, so it doesn't matter if you let him go as he pleases. Mr. Zhang is very tolerant.
There weren't many students participating in the training. Apart from the fact that the provincial team and the general trainees were separated at the front and back, everyone sat as they pleased. There was an empty seat at the edge of the first row.
