The No. 1 Middle School's administration building.
Large conference room.
All the school leaders were passing around a math exam paper, their faces beaming with joy.
This is Wang Peng's math league exam paper. The paper score is 10 or 20 points, but he scored 90 points.
There were three major questions I didn't answer, but I got all the other questions right.
The exam paper was passed around and finally returned to Principal Xu Wei.
"Comrades, Wang Peng has won first prize, bringing glory to our Ping'an County No. 1 Middle School. Congratulations!" Xu Wei said.
Discussions broke out in the conference room.
"This child has a talent for mathematics, and Teacher Huang deserves great credit for it."
"Teacher Huang, congratulations on teaching such a good student."
"In the provincial mathematics competition, only eighteen students won first prize, so there is no doubt about Mr. Huang's teaching level."
"..."
Ms. Huang is the math teacher of Class 1, a shrewd and capable female teacher.
She couldn't stop smiling. "It's a bit of a pity though. If this kid could have solved just one of those three big questions, he could have made it into the provincial team."
Even the first prize has its differences; the top eight will enter the provincial math Olympiad team and get the opportunity to participate in the national league.
If you achieve a ranking in the national league, you can be guaranteed admission to prestigious universities such as Tsinghua and Peking University.
"Xiao Huang, you can't say that."
Xu Wei smiled and said, "This is the best result our No. 1 Middle School has ever achieved in the Mathematics League since its establishment."
Chen Qingshu nodded hurriedly, "Let's not talk about top universities in China like Tsinghua and Peking University. The School of Mathematics at the provincial university will definitely recruit Wang Peng through a special admission program."
Laughter erupted in the meeting room as soon as he said this.
Although the provincial capital university is not ranked among the top universities in the country, it is the best university in the province.
Xu Wei said, "Publicity is necessary, and so is commendation. Comrades, please speak freely."
Vice Principal Zhou Hai said, "The principal is right, let's discuss publicity first."
With the two powerful figures setting the tone, everyone began to speak.
"I think we should put up banners in the school and promote it on the school radio station for three consecutive days."
"Hold a general meeting of all teachers and students and have Wang Peng speak at the meeting to share his experience in learning mathematics."
"They advertised on Ping'an County TV and Ping'an County Education TV for half a month straight."
"I suggest we invite a TV reporter to conduct an on-site interview and create a special feature, and have Wang Peng appear on Ping'an County News."
Opinions were divided for a time.
Chen Qingshu became increasingly frightened as he listened, and hurriedly raised his hand to ask to speak.
The Wang Peng he knew would never appear on television.
"Xiao Chen, what's your opinion?" Xu Wei said with a smile.
Chen Qingshu stood up abruptly. "Principal, leaders, Wang Peng probably won't agree to the interview. Should we talk to him about it..."
"Nonsense!" Zhou Hai interrupted him, frowning as he said, "This is a matter of collective honor; individuals should serve the collective."
Chen Qingshu scratched his head. "Principal Zhou, he has a terrible temper. If we don't ask for his opinion, he will definitely stand us up."
These words shocked everyone.
The TV station arrived with cameras, and then Wang Peng suddenly disappeared—that would be hilarious!
"Nonsense! How can he be so disorganized and undisciplined? No. 1 Middle School will resolutely prohibit such behavior." Zhou Hai sneered.
"Teacher Chen, go and call Wang Peng over," Xu Wei said. "Comrades, let's discuss the rewards."
Chen Qingshu hurriedly left the administration building and went to the teaching building to invite Wang Peng to a meeting.
Zhou Hai said, "Regarding the rewards, I think there should be two aspects: first, to reward Wang Peng, and second, to motivate all the students."
"The reward for Wang Peng will mainly focus on financial aspects. This child's situation is special, so we can give him more money," he said.
Someone asked, "Principal Zhou, how much of a bonus do you think should be given?"
Zhou Hai shook his head. "This needs to be discussed by everyone, since there's no precedent for this at our school."
Xu Wei said, "Old Zhou, tell me about motivating all the students."
Zhou Hai sat up straight and smiled, "The incentive program will proceed as planned. The school will allocate funds to hire reputable film and television companies to screen patriotic films in each class."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions varied, with Zhou Hai taking this matter most seriously.
Because these kinds of things are handled by the student council, and his son is the student council president, so he always gets some kickbacks.
The person in charge of the teaching affairs office said, "I support Lao Zhou's proposal in principle, but how much should we allocate?"
Vice Principal Li Ming said, "With 35 classes in the school, it would definitely cost a lot of money to hire someone to show movies in each class."
Xu Wei said, "Let's all discuss how much funding is appropriate, so that we can accomplish the most with the least amount of money."
The principal set the tone once again, and everyone began to discuss.
Teaching building.
Wang Peng was a little confused. "Brother, there's no need to invite a TV station to interview me. This kind of thing is so boring."
He never expected that he would win first prize in the mathematics league.
Li Mengjiao got second place in the province, while the rest of the senior students all got third place.
There are no rewards for winning second or third place in the provincial exams, nor are there any extra points for the college entrance exam; they are just there to make up the numbers.
"Little brother, just bear with it and cooperate by reading the script," Chen Qingshu sighed.
Wang Peng shook his head and said, "Let's go to the meeting first."
It's not impossible for them to give an interview; the key is how much bait they offer.
The two arrived at the conference room. Chen Qingshu knocked gently on the door, and after receiving permission, he led Wang Peng into the room.
"Xiao Peng, come and sit down." Xu Wei pointed to the chair next to him.
"Thank you, Principal." Wang Peng sat down next to her, his eyes downcast, seemingly lost in thought.
