Ye Zhizhou was studying with Qin Xuan in his study at home when he received Feng Xiangchen's message and was quite surprised.
"What's wrong?" Qin Xuan asked casually when he saw her suddenly put down her pen and pick up her phone.
Ye Zhizhou read the message aloud to Qin Xuan.
"They say it's a math competition at Jiaotong University, and they invited the two of us to go together. Do you want to go?"
She's not particularly interested in math competitions, and her focus is now on performing.
Qin Xuan twirled his pen. "Of course I'll go."
Jiaotong University is the best science and engineering university in Ningbo. In mathematics, it has always been on par with Ningbo University. Therefore, this competition is not only for them personally, but also a battle between the two schools.
The faculty office of the Department of Mathematics at Ningbo University.
"Teacher Li, I heard that your class is sending three students to participate in the competition this time, including a girl. Is that true?"
Several teachers discussed the candidates for the competition.
"What's wrong with girls? Don't underestimate girls. She's very capable. I have high hopes for her."
While sipping her tea, Teacher Li confidently expressed her belief in Ye Zhizhou.
"She's really something. On the first day of school, she got her boyfriend stabbed. I heard she also caused some trouble at the welcome party a couple of days ago. I just don't know how she's doing academically."
Another male teacher sighed, his tone tinged with sarcasm.
He and Teacher Li are competitors this year, each teaching two classes.
As a result, no one in his class was able to participate in the math competition this time, so he naturally wanted to target Teacher Li.
"It's been a long time since something like this has happened at our school, Ms. Li, your students are amazing!"
Another teacher chimed in, and the two of them sang in unison.
Teacher Li involuntarily frowned, and gripped the teacup in her hand a little tighter.
"If I remember correctly, she ranked third in the city in this year's college entrance examination, and her boyfriend ranked first in the city. That's really remarkable."
The two teachers were speechless for a moment, their expressions slightly embarrassed. They looked at each other and said nothing more.
Teacher Li glanced at the two people's faces and felt much better when she saw their embarrassed expressions.
"Teacher Li, is Ye Zhizhou going to participate in this math competition?"
Suddenly, Ms. Jin, who had been quiet all along, spoke up. She had heard that Ye Zhizhou was going to participate in this competition, and she couldn't help but think of the last time Ye Zhizhou had disobeyed her in the classroom, which made her feel angry.
Teacher Li was unaware that Teacher Jin and Ye Zhizhou had a grudge, and assumed that she was just asking casually, so she nodded.
"It's the principal's decision, so let's try our best to cooperate with them during this period."
Teacher Jin didn't refute, silently tidying up her books and not speaking to Teacher Li again.
After Teacher Li left the office, Teacher Jin called Qu Sisi over.
"I've submitted your name for the math competition. Don't embarrass me; you must beat Ye Zhizhou."
Qu Sisi held the textbook in her hands, never expecting that she would have such an opportunity.
She had really wanted to participate in this math competition, but her grades weren't very good, so she hadn't had much hope. Now that she had the opportunity, she was even more motivated.
"Teacher Jin, I will definitely live up to your expectations! I will surpass Ye Zhizhou in this competition and bring you honor!"
Seeing her confident demeanor, Teacher Jin was very pleased. "Very good, go and get ready."
