Chapter 104 Target
He stretched his legs and sighed, "I used to think I was the best in the world. No one was smarter than me. If I couldn't compare to others in some way, I didn't care. Then, in the first grade, I met Yan Shen, and I felt that I could accept that I couldn't learn better than him. Then I met the class representative, so I reluctantly took third place."
"Oh." Chen Bailing understood: "Now that you found out you were ranked outside of the 20th place, your mentality collapsed? Then you're done. This is just the provincial competition. If you manage to get into the national competition in the future, you'll commit suicide."
Lin Chongyang raised his head: "Can't you say something nice? I'm already so miserable."
"Didn't I count backwards? How can I put it nicely? I'm really sorry that I can't empathize with you academic masters."
"Okay." Lin Chongyang said, "I just suddenly felt that I was slowly accepting that I'm not as good as others. If I keep going like this, sooner or later, I'll just end up living a relatively mediocre life like you."
Chen Bailing: "Will you die if you don't take me with you? Compared to me, you are really hopeless."
She simply squatted down as well. The wind was quite strong today. She lifted her hair and said, "Transfer the money for flowers and fruit to me later."
"You're so generous with the class representative, but so stingy with me?"
"You have to compare this too? A lifetime of comparing yourself to others."
Lin Chongyang said nothing.
Chen Bailing held up her chin and suddenly said, "The boy walking in front is much more handsome than you."
Lin Chongyang looked at her in confusion.
Chen Bailing continued to exclaim: "Oh, that girl's hair is much longer than yours. How come you can't even compare to an elementary school student?"
"That person's nose is so high, yours is definitely not as high as his."
Chen Bailing kept talking about how Lin Chongyang was not as good as ordinary people. Finally, she stood up, patted her clothes, looked at Lin Chongyang with disdain and said, "No, you should get plastic surgery."
She put her hands on her hips and looked at Lin Chongyang carefully again: "But I think you look okay the way you are now. If you really had plastic surgery, I would probably say you are not as good-looking as you are now."
Of course Lin Chongyang could understand what Chen Bailing meant.
She wanted him to stop comparing himself with others and said that he was fine the way he was now.
It’s hard for Chen Bailing to go through so much trouble.
He laughed and said, "Thanks."
"You're welcome. Transfer me a thousand, including the psychological counseling fee."
On Monday, when Jiang Zhao came to the classroom to prepare for class, he found that Lin Chongyang had already arrived.
Chen Bailing had already told her what happened at the first opportunity.
Jiang Zhao joked, "Squad Leader, what a rare guest."
Lin Chongyang: "Well, just give them a week."
…
The training process is boring.
Every day we repeat the process of doing exercises, explaining questions, and discussing understanding.
It's like squeezing out every brain cell, breaking the whole person down and reconstructing them, and then being reborn the next day as a stronger self.
The course lasted for one month.
The study schedule was so intense that they had neither the May Day holiday nor the midterm exams.
During this period, Pei Zhiyu was selected to join the provincial team for the physics competition.
So when the midterm results came out, Lin Chongyang became the top student in the grade.
Although a big reason for reaching the top was that the top three last time were absent from the exam, it did not prevent Lin Chongyang from stepping on Chen Huaiyu.
…
Thursday, May 7th.
Tomorrow is the last day of training.
There were a lot of people in the lecture hall at the beginning, but as the course progressed, many people were discouraged by the difficult questions. Apart from the twenty people from the provincial team, only a few persisted to the end.
After the training, they will board a plane to the school hosting the national competition next week.
Huang Xuelin asked Jiang Zhao to create a small WeChat group and add everyone from the provincial team to it so that they could contact each other later.
Over the past month, Jiang Zhao's contribution to the training class, both in and out of class, has been obvious to all. Sometimes the class jokes that if Jiang Zhao is not a participating student, he should be considered half a teacher.
Throughout the day, people came to Jiang Zhao from time to time to ask for his WeChat.
There were people from the provincial team, people who came to take classes for free, people in the first year of high school, and people from other grades.
As the get out of class was about to end in the afternoon, Hu Yonggang was already standing at the door of the classroom.
Hu Yonggang always had a stern face. Whenever students from our school passed by and saw Hu Yonggang, they would subconsciously think that someone was going to be in trouble.
When Jiang Zhao and Luo Yan came out, he waved: "Jiang Zhao, Luo Yan, both of you come with me to the office."
When he arrived at the Academic Affairs Office, Hu Yonggang closed the door and his serious expression immediately turned into a smile.
Huang Xuelin had been waiting in the office for a while.
Seeing Huang Xuelin, Jiang Zhao felt slightly relieved.
Huang Xuelin is here, which means he is not here to arrest people for premature love.
Hu Yonggang gestured for the two to sit down. He picked up the small teapot he used to entertain students' parents and poured water into it while saying, "I heard from Teacher Huang that you two did quite well in the competition class."
Jiang Zhao was still thinking about how to respond when Luo Yan beside him spoke first: "Yes, very good."
Jiang Zhao glanced at him slightly. The boy's words were very arrogant, but his expression was very calm.
The two looked at each other, and Jiang Zhao smiled and agreed: "Yeah, yes."
"I just say young people should be a little wild,"
Huang Xuelin smiled and said, "This is what happened. The school originally wanted to commend you, but they were worried that you would be under too much pressure. We'll give you the awards together after the national competition is over. I see you have a good relationship. Have you discussed any goals?"
It’s no wonder that Huang Xuelin thinks so far ahead.
Although Mingyuan No. 1 Middle School has outstanding performance in the entire province, it is still not as good as the top. Their overall performance in provincial competitions is not very good. They win a few gold medals at most in the province every year. For several consecutive years, no one has made it into the national team's 60-person selection list.
Not to mention being one of the final six people to participate in the international competition.
When he saw Jiang Zhao and Luo Yan now, he saw a living golden signboard.
The girl is very knowledgeable, smart, and has strong logical thinking ability. Her grades have always been far ahead during the training period.
Boys also understand things immediately and can stay focused.
They are all good seedlings.
Besides, they are only in the first year of high school. If they get the medals this year, they can participate again next year and improve their record.
Looking at Huang Xuelin's smile, Jiang Zhao understood.
Huang Xuelin and Hu Yonggang painted a rosy picture for her.
That’s not the case. After all, Mingyuan No. 1 Middle School is wealthy and can really eat the cake.
So Jiang Zhao said sincerely: "We have discussed this. Our goal this year is to be able to join the national team."
Huang Xuelin was even more delighted: "That's right, your teacher Wang said you just wanted to win the gold medal, how can that be possible?"
Jiang Zhao suddenly had an idea and said, "I hadn't taken your class, Teacher Huang, at that time."
This one sentence made Huang Xuelin look decades younger.
If other people saw the appearance of Hu Yonggang and Huang Xuelin, they would probably think that they were possessed by another spirit.
Leaving the office, they saw Chen Bailing and the others waiting for them at the front stairs to have dinner together.
Luo Yan said: "I have to go out for something, you go with them."
"Yeah." Jiang Zhao tilted his head to look at him: "Then will you go to evening study later?"
"Yes." He said, "Wait for me in the classroom."
