Chapter 561 I am so beautiful that I cannot die
Shen Ci also smiled and nodded honestly.
She didn't even want to be a team member, let alone captain, but since she was here she wouldn't give up. Although Li Jianguo didn't admit it, she knew in her heart that it must have been Li Jianguo who recommended her.
It would be bad to disappoint Director Li.
Seeing her frank admission, Teacher Zhuang's smile deepened by three points. She picked up Shen Ci's calculation paper and looked at it carefully again. The clear and fluent problem-solving ideas were really pleasing to the eye.
"The school takes this competition very seriously. Our USTC is a top university in China, especially in science and engineering, where we rank among the top five."
"But in previous Mathematical Olympiads, our school's performance has always been mediocre, especially when facing pressure from universities like Longda University and Jiaotong University, where we often fail to even get a ranking."
"But this time, the teacher sees hope in you. The teacher hopes that you can have more sense of collective honor, help others more, and strive to achieve good results in this competition, okay?"
Teacher Zhuang's voice is very light and soft, but very steady and powerful.
"Okay, teacher, I will try my best." Shen Ci did not refuse because she liked Teacher Zhuang.
Teacher Zhuang's eyes lit up with admiration as he whispered, "Keep going! If you can get a good ranking for the school this time, I'll apply to the school for a reward."
In the corridor, Wang Yikun did not walk away, but kept staring at the door of the classroom.
It wasn't until the door opened and Shen Ci came out that he walked over.
Chen Ci looked at Wang Yikun who was walking towards her in confusion, thinking that he was running towards her. As a result, they brushed past each other and the other party looked straight ahead and walked directly into the classroom without stopping in front of her.
Shen Ci curled her lips, thinking that this person's aura was very strange, and she didn't like it intuitively.
Wang Yikun returned, and Teacher Zhuang was a little surprised: "What's wrong, Wang Yikun? Is there anything else?"
Wang Yikun walked up to Teacher Zhuang with a sullen face and stood in front of him. He said seriously, "Teacher Zhuang, I feel that Chen Ci is not suitable to join our school team. I hope that you and the school can select a capable student to replace her."
He expressed it very frankly because he felt that this matter was no joke and as the captain he had to be responsible for the school team and this competition.
Teacher Zhuang was startled when he heard this, then smiled again: "What's the reason?"
"You saw her performance just now. She couldn't solve any of the six problems. I don't think her ability qualifies her for the competition. She's taking up an unnecessary spot."
Wang Yikun spoke righteously, and then hesitated for a while. Seeing this, Teacher Zhuang knew that he had something else to say.
He took a deep breath before continuing, "Besides, she's too beautiful. She'll interfere with the other members of the team."
"What's your reason?" After hearing his last words, Teacher Zhuang's originally gentle expression suddenly became gloomy.
Wang Yikun pursed his lips, but when he thought of the reactions of Wang Li and Sun Yue after Shen Ci appeared today, he felt that he was not wrong.
With such a beautiful girl on the team, how could they possibly calm down and prepare for the game? I'm afraid it would be difficult for them to concentrate!
"Because she didn't give the correct answer, you have doubts about her. Teacher, I understand, but a girl's beauty shouldn't be a mistake in your eyes."
"If someone is disturbed by her beauty, then I would think that this person lacks concentration. If they are easily disturbed, then they don't have the mental qualities to cope with the competition. It should be this person who should be replaced, not Shen Ci."
Teacher Zhuang seriously pointed out Wang Yikun’s mistake, which was not just a mistake, but a prejudice.
Prejudice against pretty girls.
But beautiful and smart girls like Chen Ci will face this problem. Their appearance often takes precedence over their ability, and the first thing people notice is their beauty and prettiness.
"I'm sorry, teacher. I shouldn't have said that." Wang Yikun realized his mistake belatedly and apologized, but this didn't mean he accepted Shen Ci. "But when participating in the Mathematical Olympiad, ability is the most important thing. I still insist on my idea and hope that the teacher can consider it carefully."
After he finished speaking, he bowed slightly and turned away without waiting for Teacher Zhuang's response.
Teacher Zhuang sighed deeply while standing on the podium. She had originally wanted to show Wang Yikun those calculation papers of Chen Ci to see how Chen Ci answered the questions. The paper without any score was just because she didn't want to compete with him for the captaincy.
But in the end she didn't do that because she could see Wang Yikun's character. He was young and energetic, with a hidden pride, but in fact he was both arrogant and sensitive inside.
If he knew this, it would definitely be a blow to him.
But Shen Ci's ability must not be hidden. If the matter of being the captain was not involved today, she might have directly handed in a perfect answer sheet.
So let Chen Ci show his prowess in front of Wang Yikun personally. The direct shock is the most convincing.
With a personality like Wang Yikun's, it would take one strike to convince him.
However, that night, Shen Ci suddenly developed a high fever.
Shen Jingjing drove her daughter to the night emergency room. After a series of examinations, the doctor was shocked when he looked at her report. All the indicators were in disarray.
Shen Ci felt cold all over, but her eyes were uncomfortably hot, and her muscles were aching everywhere.
"Mom..." She grabbed her mother's hand and muttered in a daze, "I'm so beautiful, I can't die..."
Shen Jingjing was horrified when she heard this. Was he delirious? Why did he start talking nonsense?
Fortunately, the doctor was experienced and quickly found the problem. It was Shen Ci's recent weight loss diet that led to nutritional deficiencies in various aspects, which caused her body to flash red lights.
It is common for fever to be caused by low immunity, and the doctor quickly prescribed her medicine.
Shen Jingjing accompanied her for a long time and finally hung an IV for her on a chair in the emergency room.
Looking at her listless daughter, Shen Jingjing felt distressed. Ah Ci had rarely been sick since she was a child, but now she was seriously ill. Her daughter, who usually could handle everything on her own, now looked so soft and fragile.
"The doctor said it's okay, just a minor problem." Shen Jingjing touched her daughter's face and whispered comfortingly.
Shen Ci nodded and put two ice packs on his eyes to cool down his burning eyeballs. At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the door of the emergency hall. Before he saw anyone, he heard someone shouting, "Hurry up and help!"
The nurses on duty rushed out in a swarm, and soon saw a woman who was about to give birth being pushed in by a cart. However, the woman was not wailing in pain like other women, but was humming and mumbling in a confused state.
"The woman is bleeding heavily and her life is in danger. Send her to the emergency room first. I've notified Dr. Gao, and he's on his way!"
