Chapter 39 The Nanny's Niece's Counterattack
Lin Wei performed as expected in this selection competition and advanced to the second round. By this time, there were very few people left in the training team.
There are 15 people in each subject training team, so there are 45 people in three subjects. Admittedly, there are people in the other two subject training teams, but she didn't know them, so she didn't count them.
Huo Miao and Jiang Qi noticed that there were far fewer people on the school's training team. After asking around, they learned that some people had been eliminated.
"Do you think she might be eliminated too?" She was referring to Lin Wei, whom she had seen in the grass last time.
Jiang Qi: "I don't think so. Didn't the teacher say that she should be one of the top players in the training team? She won't be eliminated so easily."
Even so, I was still a little shocked when I found out later that she had stayed on with the highest score.
"First place? I didn't know she was this good?" Can girls be this good at math?
Huo Miao watched as her photo and grades appeared on the school's big screen. For the first time, she felt that the school's big screen wasn't just for show, which used to display random advertisements every day. Finally, one day it was showing something useful.
She thought of her uncle, who, though he hadn't said it explicitly, had subtly hinted that the girl had a desire to learn math.
But why can't girls study math? She's really good at it.
Huo Miao took a picture of the score on the big screen and sent it to her uncle, saying, "Look, she's really good at math!"
Huo Miao stared at Lin Wei's photo with bright, admiring eyes.
She wants to be like that person.
Lin Wei had no idea that her performance in the first selection competition would motivate a girl to work even harder. She was now preparing for the second round of selection competitions. Even though she was confident that she wouldn't be eliminated, she didn't want to be caught off guard and had to be extra careful, especially as the competition became more crucial.
Zhang Mo and Fang Yihuai shared the same sentiment, not to mention the others. Even Chi Boyan became cautious. Although he didn't care about these competitions, what was the point of competing if he couldn't win or get first place?
So in the days leading up to the second round, everyone's expression turned serious, and everyone saw each other as enemies. Only 6 out of 15 people could remain, which meant eliminating more than half of the participants, a truly cruel situation.
If there is even the slightest mistake, you'll be the one out.
The one under the most pressure is Gao Fuya. Although she is good at math, she is not as good as the others. Fang Yihuai will definitely advance, as will Lin Wei. Even Ji Liuta's math is better than hers. So, out of the 6 spots, there are only 3 spots left for her and the other 11 people to compete for.
She wouldn't accept being eliminated after getting this far.
Lin Wei knew her anxiety, but there was nothing she could do to help. How could anyone who had come this far accept turning back at this point?
In her eyes, she is both a friend and a competitor, so she will do everything in her power and will not give in.
Finally, the second round of selection trials is here, and the decision on who will be on the national team is finally being made. This competition is more nerve-wracking and stressful than the previous ones.
However, if one cannot even withstand this much pressure, how can one represent the country in international competitions? In comparison, Lin Wei endured this pressure three times in a row, which is no small feat.
However, because she had three choices, she was a little more relaxed than others. After all, even if she failed one or two subjects, as long as she advanced in one subject, she wouldn't have lost, at least not in front of outsiders, but she would have lost to herself.
This selection competition will be a little more difficult than the first round, but only a little more difficult. As for mathematics, since Lin Wei was able to overcome the difficult problems given by Professor Liang, this level of difficulty will naturally not be a problem for her.
Physics stumped her for a while, because she spent very little time on it during that period. It's fair to say that the more time you spend on it, the more feedback it will give you.
However, she still managed to finish writing it within the time limit. The brute-force method is still useful to some extent. That is, when you really can't think of a solution, you can calculate step by step. As long as you don't deviate too much, you can still get some points for each step even if you don't get the solution in the end. And that's obviously how she calculated it.
When it came to the biology selection competition, Lin Wei put in 120% effort. She didn't want to be ranked second by Chi Boyan because her answer wasn't complete enough.
On the other hand, weren't the people she was wary of also being wary of? To a certain extent, Lin Wei did indeed make him take things seriously, because if he wasn't serious, he would lose first place. He even thought about whether he had missed anything whenever he wanted to stop writing. In all these years, this was the first time someone had given him this feeling.
So when Chi Boyan passed by her after the exam, he glanced at her with a look that was hard to decipher.
Lin Wei: "??" What did she do? Why is he looking at her like that?
Of course, she didn't know that while she was worrying about not getting second place, there were others who wanted to get first place.
She was the most difficult opponent Chi Boyan had ever encountered, like a stubborn leech that he couldn't shake off no matter what he did. At that moment, he wondered why the selection competition questions couldn't be made more difficult. It was always the same types of questions, which made it impossible for him to crush her with his absolute strength.
Lin Wei didn't know what he was thinking, but putting everything else aside, she was still happy that the training team was finally free from this period of training.
Finally, she could leave. She still preferred the dormitory at No. 1 High School. Although the environment at the Foreign Language School was good, it still felt unfamiliar. It was okay for a short stay, but she felt a bit uncomfortable for a long stay.
However, Lin Wei was still somewhat surprised to see the two people who stopped her as soon as she stepped out of the examination room.
"We're sorry, Lin. We misunderstood you last time. You were right, that question was indeed wrong." Huo Miao and Jiang Qi thought for a moment and still felt it was necessary to apologize to her.
It was one thing to not know who she was before, but now that I do, I can't just pretend I don't know. Besides, she's leaving soon.
Lin Wei replied nonchalantly, "It's nothing, I don't care." If they hadn't come looking for her, she would have forgotten about it long ago. After all, when she went for a walk, she was mainly thinking about how to solve those math problems, and answering their questions was just a side effect.
Upon hearing this, Huo Miao and Jiang Qi's cautious expressions revealed a hint of joy. "Thank you for forgiving us. Also, you're amazing, Lin Wei. Keep it up, you'll definitely make it into the national team."
Lin smiled slightly at the look of admiration in her eyes. "Thank you?" It felt pretty good to be encouraged and trusted.
After leaving, she was in a good mood all day. No wonder some people like to be praised; she liked it too.
Back at No. 1 High School, although Zhou Xueqing had only not seen her for a few days, it felt like a long time had passed.
"Your next plan is to join the national team, and after the competition, apply for university admission without taking the entrance exam?" If that's the case, she can be admitted to university without taking the entrance exam in her second year of high school.
Lin Wei: "Probably." Regardless of whether she wins this competition or not, her guaranteed admission to university is a sure thing. For her, the sooner she can go to university, the sooner she can, so she doesn't have to get up at five in the morning to study and not get back to her dorm until after ten at night.
This saved me a few tuition fees.
Zhou Xueqing was a little envious after hearing this, "I really envy you for not having to continue studying. I still have to study for two more years." Two years! I feel like I'll go crazy from studying.
But Lin Wei felt it was all the same: "Whether it's high school or university, you still have to study." She wouldn't change that just because she went to university. Besides, she was going to study very demanding clinical medicine, and minor in biology, so she felt her university life would be very busy.
However, Zhou Xueqing was unaware of this, since Lin Wei hadn't reported it yet. Moreover, the most pressing matter was preparing for the upcoming international competition.
Just in case, she felt she had to master the biology chapter, so before the results were even out, she started frantically studying biology again.
Because reading papers had been effective before, Lin Wei didn't change her method. Instead, she subscribed to another month's membership to read them. However, after a while, she found her phone too small and the images unattractive, and she was also worried about straining her eyes. So this time, she went and bought a projector that connects to her phone.
She did want to buy a computer, but her funds were limited. It would be painful for her to spend such a large sum of money, especially since there was no free internet at school.
So every time Zhou Xueqing returned to her dormitory after school, the walls were covered with densely packed words projected onto the wall, all about biology. She couldn't bear to look at it after just one glance, because it was so boring, even more boring than math.
She didn't dare disturb Lin Wei while she was reading her thesis, and quietly played on her phone in bed, chatting with people, including her cousin.
What's it like to have a roommate who's a super high achiever?
Why can't people be compared?
"Sis, when will you be able to work as hard as her?" Attached was a secretly taken photo of the projected image.
Well, actually, there was a little bit of showing off, after all, this is her roommate.
Cousin Zhou: "People should still have a sense of boundaries. But looking at that photo, I can't help but wonder, are all high school freshmen this tough these days?"
Just then, Zhou Xueqing sent another message, "Hehe, sis, be careful when you run into my roommate in the future. She got into university without taking the entrance exam, so you'll have to call her 'senior' from now on." She got into university in her first year of high school, and then went to college in her second year, hehe.
Cousin Zhou: "?" What followed was a long, rambling speech and a string of curses, with the teasing now directed at her instead of the other person.
All of this was irrelevant to Lin Wei; she had never even met her cousin. She had made a slight improvement through these papers, but it was clear that she had reached a bottleneck, and continuing wouldn't necessarily yield much more.
At this point, she was troubled; what other options were there?
She immediately thought of Chi Boyan, after all, among all the biology students, he was the only one she was wary of and cautious about.
"Why don't we ask him? Will he tell us?" Lin Wei suddenly remembered how pretentious he was when he talked about which school he was applying to, and was afraid that he would say something like, "Do we even need to look into that?"
Otherwise, what is she? The biggest idiot of all?
However, the first problem she faced was not having his contact information.
