Chapter 226 The Assessment!
Upon hearing that Gu Yin wanted to study, Principal Du became anxious. He quickly walked up to Gu Yin and said earnestly, "You're already busy enough! If you participate in the informatics competition on top of that, don't you want to rest? I've told you, you can't chew too much at once! Even if you like competitions, one subject, math, is enough. How can you be so distracted? Just treat it as a hobby!"
Before Gu Yin could even speak, Lu Jie became displeased.
He said seriously, "Our country hasn't won any awards in information competitions internationally for a long time. Don't just stay in Jianggao High School. If you go out and travel, you'll hear how much those powerful countries look down on us! Every competition is a way of humiliating our students!"
"Gu Yin was able to break through my defenses simply by self-studying. With her current abilities, she's already on par with those guys on the national team! This isn't just about her; it's about the country! Joining the national team, representing the country, and winning gold medals! Which school would refuse such talent? Special talents need special pathways; that's the fastest way to contribute to the country!"
Du Zhongming knew all about these things! He said helplessly, "Teacher, have you ever thought about this? Gu Yin has only just started participating in competitions. If she really makes it all the way to the national team like you say, I'll approve it without hesitation. But what if after a while we find out she's not suited for competitions? What will she do then? She'll fall far behind others in her studies and won't excel in competitions. She was originally a promising student who could get into Qingdao University, but ended up in a vocational college. Wouldn't you be heartbroken? This has happened before!"
Today's students are not mature enough and have no idea where their limits are!
The people around him just said it casually, and he got carried away. In the end, he ended up empty-handed and got nothing! It was too late to regret it!
Lu Jie glanced at Gu Yin, pursed his lips, and said, "If it really doesn't work out, I'll hire someone to tutor her! If she fails, she can repeat a year! It's not a big deal!"
Du Zhongming shook his head: "Teacher, they can't repeat the year they took the college entrance exam. The document was just sent to me a few days ago!"
Lu Jie: "...Then how about giving up math?" After saying that, he looked at Gu Yin, feeling a little embarrassed.
Gu Yin looked at the principal and said seriously, "I have been studying on my own until my senior year of high school. Whether it is mathematics, computer science, physics and chemistry, I have no problem at all. If the principal does not believe me, he can test me."
Du Zhongming was furious: "What?! You want to participate in physics and chemistry competitions?! Are you crazy or am I crazy?! Where are my nitroglycerin pills?! Are students these days trying to fly to the moon?!"
The others were also frightened by Gu Yin.
Xie Tianhua quickly reassured him, "Don't worry, let her explain first! She's not young, what if she gets sick from worrying!" After saying that, he took the medicine out of his pocket and gave it to him.
At their age, every medication needs to be labeled!
Gu Yin quickly went over and helped the person to the sofa, saying helplessly, "Principal, you really know how to focus on the key points! What I mainly wanted to say is that I'm already in my final year of high school! No matter what competition I participate in, it won't interfere with my studies. The kind of outcome you're worried about won't happen to me! Besides, upholding national honor and interests is an obligation that we young people should fulfill! If we have the opportunity, we should participate; if we don't have the opportunity, we should create it! I believe I have a talent in this area, and with Grandpa's resources, I don't think I'll lose to anyone! Can't you have a little faith in me?! What if you ruin all my enthusiasm?!"
Du Zhongming calmed down and looked at Gu Yin. He saw that she looked serious and earnest, which was obviously not a young person acting on impulse.
He waved his hand: "I'm fine. Even if you say that, I won't believe you. I only believe in scores! There's a copy of last year's Grade 11 final exam paper and a copy of this month's Grade 12 monthly exam paper at the bottom of the desk drawer. Take out a Grade 11 math paper and a Grade 12 physics paper and start working on them now!"
Before Gu Yin even had a chance to get them, Xie Tianhua had already pulled them out and placed the pen and paper on the table.
Gu Yin got up and went to sit down.
Du Zhongming set the time and said "start," and Gu Yin immediately began writing.
Seeing that the place hadn't hesitated at all and had been writing smoothly all the way through, Du Zhongming couldn't sit still any longer.
When Gu Yin's middle school entrance exam results came out, Feng Jiangyue asked him to write the notification letter. This wasn't originally his responsibility, but because of Feng Jiangyue, Du Zhongming checked Gu Yin's grades and found that she was a promising student! A promising student with no weaknesses in any subject, definitely a top university prospect!
After reviewing her junior high school records, I discovered that she had skipped a grade! Her grades had consistently ranked first, clearly indicating that she had performed exceptionally well, while I had only performed normally!
So when he heard Feng Jiangyue say that the other person was going to take the college entrance examination and participate in the competition, he could accept it, after all, there was still time to squeeze in. But now...
He didn't know whether he should be happy or anxious.
"What are you thinking? The child has finished their test and wants you to grade it!"
Gu Yin wrote very quickly, finishing the test paper in half an hour. She put it aside and asked the principal to come and take a look, but the principal seemed to be thinking about something and didn't respond.
Seeing that Lao Du was lost in thought, Xie Tianhua tugged at his arm and woke him up.
Finished writing? That's it? So fast?
Du Zhongming stood up with a serious expression, walked to his desk, picked up a pen, and began grading papers.
After making the changes, he didn't say a word and went back to sit on the sofa.
"How did it go? What was the score?" Xie Tianhua asked in a low voice.
Lu Jie also pricked up his ears, wanting to hear, but Du Zhongming couldn't utter a single word for a long time! It was infuriating!
Xie Tianhua was speechless. Seeing that Du Zhongming remained silent, he could only sit quietly to the side and wait for Gu Yin to finish answering.
Fifty minutes later, Gu Yin put down her pen, looked at the test paper, and seeing that there were no missing questions, she put the test paper aside, got up and walked out.
"Principal, I've finished writing."
Du Zhongming nodded and got up to correct the test papers.
Looking at the neat exam paper, and then at the fact that only half of the A4 sheet of draft paper was used, with not a single calculation step marked with an X, Du Zhongming began to correct the papers. The more he corrected, the better he felt, and in the end, a smile appeared on his lips.
Seeing him like this, Lu Jie and Xie Tianhua breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Jie was in a great mood; the trip was definitely worth it!
After Du Zhongming finished correcting the papers, he put them away and looked at Gu Yin: "Did you do any of the second-year high school exam papers beforehand?"
Gu Yin nodded: "I've done this test paper before. I should say I've done all the test papers for the second year of high school. However, the answers I wrote before are the same as the answers I'm writing now. I haven't done the third year test papers."
Gu Yin felt there was no need to lie. If she wrote it, she wrote it; if she didn't write it, she didn't write it. In any case, with her abilities, her first attempt wouldn't be that bad!
Du Zhongming nodded: "The senior year exam papers haven't been printed out yet, so of course you haven't done them. You got full marks on both papers, which means you've mastered enough of the knowledge from your junior year, and it's also covered in the senior year. But I'm not sure where you've learned the senior year material. Tell me honestly so I can make arrangements."
Since the principal said that, it was clear that he had agreed to let me participate in the informatics competition, and maybe he would agree to let me participate in other competitions later!
"I'm currently studying up to the first semester of my senior year of high school and I'm about to finish. Because of the math olympiad, I've already self-studied all the math in my senior year of high school. I've also studied university-level advanced mathematics, linear algebra, probability and statistics, geometry, analysis, etc., but I've only just started and haven't studied them in depth yet."
The room was quiet for a while. Du Zhongming let out a sigh of relief. He could no longer bring himself to tell Gu Yin to give up learning math olympiad.
He checked the time and nodded: "The auditorium should be finished by now. It's time for dinner. I've reserved a private room on the third floor. Shall we go there for dinner and chat over the meal? How about it?"
Lu Jie had the same idea: "Then let's go."
