Guessing that everyone had finished washing up, Yu Qi knocked on every door and gathered everyone together.
"Team leader, what's wrong?" Chen Ru asked.
"The opening ceremony will be held tomorrow morning, followed by the official competition. What do you think about the bet we made with Team D today?" Yu Qi asked everyone.
Everyone looked around and no one said anything.
"Then let me ask you a question first." Yu Qi thought for a moment and then changed the question, "Do you regret the bet you made today?"
“No regrets!”
“I absolutely have no regrets!”
At this point, everyone answered Yu Qi's question without hesitation. They were forced into this situation, so how could they not accept the bet? Of course, they didn't regret it.
"If we don't regret it, then what should we do?" Yu Qi asked everyone again.
"effort!"
"come on!"
“Try your best!”
“Give it your all!”
Everyone was talking at once. Yu Qi looked at everyone's eager faces and nodded with satisfaction. Very good, this kind of enthusiasm is what is needed.
In the cafeteria, he did not stop Su Qingyun from making a bet with Team D. First, he was really angry and it was impossible for him not to accept the bet. Second, he also wanted to use this bet to ignite everyone's fighting spirit.
"Well, I hope everyone can forge ahead and give it their all in the upcoming matches, and finally slap them in the face in front of everyone!"
Yu Qi roared, "Can everyone do this?"
"able!!!"
"Very good, everyone, get ready to rest. The opening ceremony is tomorrow, so everyone should get enough rest." Yu Qi waved his hand and asked everyone to go back and rest.
Su Qingyun felt a little helpless, looking at everyone's high-spirited faces. Are they really sure they can sleep after such a pep talk before going to bed?
As it turned out, not only was she able to sleep, she also slept soundly. When she woke up, it was already dawn.
?The others also had a good night’s sleep.
They slept soundly, but some people hardly slept all night. That person was David at the reception desk of the organizing committee. He was always worried, cursing the Chinese team members while being afraid that someone would come to blame him.
They almost didn't sleep all night, which just proved what Su Qingyun said. They didn't have to do anything to scare themselves.
On the second day, the competition officially began. The entire competition process was divided into four days. The first day was the opening ceremony of the competition, with speeches from the mathematics competition organizing committee and appearances by teams from various countries.
On the second day, the competition process quickly began, examining the abilities of all participating students in geometry, algebra, number theory, combinatorics, etc., in the form of a written test.
On the third day, all contestants randomly draw a mathematical conjecture or theory, express their own opinions and ideas, and are scored by the judging panel. The final combined score of the two exams is the final competition result.
On the last day, the competition results will be announced, awards will be presented and a closing ceremony will be held.
There are four days in total, and each day is clearly scheduled and full.
The organizing committee chose to hold the opening ceremony of the competition in the concert hall of University College London.
All the participating teams arrived on time and found their country's signature seats to sit down. The entire concert hall was packed with people.
A small flag was placed at the location of each country as a mark.
There is no doubt that the three East Asian countries were arranged together again, and Country S was also very close to them. Seeing Alexandra waving her hand to greet him, Su Qingyun had no choice but to respond.
When Team D passed by Team China, Christian and Frank looked at Su Qingyun and the others, snorted heavily, but didn't even return their glances, and instantly felt a little bored.
Some people are like this. The more enthusiastic your response, the more excited they become. Sometimes, if you ignore them, they find it boring and withdraw on their own.
The opening ceremony was about to begin, and Su Qingyun was surprised to find that in the concert hall, in addition to the participating teams from various countries, there were people who looked like reporters, holding huge cameras, obviously preparing to film the opening ceremony.
"There are reporters here too. Please sit properly and keep your backs straight to ensure that the best image is shown in the newspaper," Yu Qi reminded everyone.
Everyone sat up straight in silence, waiting for the opening ceremony to begin.
The first speaker invited to the opening ceremony was the current president of London University College, Duke of Annan.
Duke Annan walked onto the stage with a bright smile, looked at the faces in the audience, and began to speak.
"Hello everyone, I am Annan, the president of the University College of London. I am honored that the University College of London can serve as the venue for this international mathematics competition. I also welcome the participating teams from all over the world. I hope you will have a wonderful time here."
“At University College London, we are one of the world’s leading multidisciplinary universities, globally committed to excellence, innovation and global understanding in all our activities, including research, teaching, enterprise and community engagement.”
“As London’s global university, our mission at University College London is to be a diverse intellectual community; to engage with the wider world and make a difference for the better; to be recognised for its fundamental critical thinking and its wide-ranging impact; and to develop outstanding capabilities for the long-term benefit of humanity, integrating education, research, innovation and enterprise.”
Duke Annan spoke extensively about the philosophy and mission of the University College of London. Just when everyone was confused, he changed the subject and said, "I hope our school can gather the best mathematical talent. If anyone wants to join our team, we would be very welcome."
"Thank you everyone, my speech is over."
Duke Annan winked mischievously, his eyes full of hints.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they started applauding after they realized what was happening, with kind smiles on their faces.
They didn't expect that the president of such a large university would be so kind and approachable, and would even tell them such interesting jokes. Everyone's slightly nervous mood was also dispersed by this joke.
"Okay, now let's get to know the participating teams from various countries."
As Duke Annan finished his words, starting from the first row of seats, the contestants from each country came on stage one by one to introduce themselves to everyone.
The Chinese team is in the back and can appreciate the appearance of the players in front first.
They watched as teams of contestants came on stage and introduced their names and ages one by one.
