Chapter 105: I've Got Myself Into Trouble
After a few seconds of silence, Chen Yu was afraid that Huo Yao would be nervous, so he added: "Although there are people from the Literary Association here, just answer whatever they ask, don't be afraid."
Huo Yao made an OK gesture to Chen Yu.
Not long after, Huo Yao went to the principal's office.
At this time, in addition to the principal, there were two middle-aged men sitting on the sofa in the principal's office, probably the people from the Chinese Language Association mentioned by Chen Yukou.
Huo Yao only took a glance and then looked away, then nodded politely to the principal, "Principal, you are looking for me."
"Yes." The principal waved his hand with a smile, "Come, let me introduce you. These two are members of the Cultural and Educational Association. This one is Tian Ye, the secretary general of the Municipal Association, and this one is Zhao Lian, an honorary member of the General Association."
Huo Yao nodded slowly at the two of them, without any timidity or nervousness on his face.
The secretary general raised his eyebrows. The girl was quite calm. She cleared her throat and said, "Student Huo Yao, right? Can I ask you a question?"
Huo Yao looked at him, his eyes clear and black, "Please speak."
The secretary general straightened up slightly. "From what I've seen, your answers to the questions these two times are slightly different from the current teaching methods in school. Did you ask a famous teacher to guide you?"
After these words were spoken, not only him, but even the principal next to him wanted to know.
"No." Huo Yao's voice was quite calm, but after a few seconds, she suddenly asked: "Is this related to the ten points I lost in the city preliminaries?"
The Secretary-General was surprised that Huo Yao did not hire a famous teacher for guidance, and was even more surprised at her sharpness.
Then he nodded and said, "You should have gotten full marks for both the written test and the on-site test, but the solutions to the last two questions on your written test were beyond the syllabus. Although the answers are correct, considering a series of principle issues, five points will be deducted from both questions."
"Beyond the scope?" Huo Yao narrowed his eyes, not quite understanding.
Zhao Lian, who was standing beside her, cleared his throat and explained to her: "The so-called "out-of-syllabus" means that the questions are answered in a way that is not within the scope of high school knowledge. This is called "out-of-syllabus."
"Even if the final answer is correct, it won't work?" Huo Yao frowned.
So there are such requirements for exams?
Zhao Lian hummed, and then explained, "Because it violates the principle of fairness to go beyond the syllabus, but considering that the competition does not have strict regulations on how to answer questions, it would be unfair to you if you were given zero points for both questions, so in total, only ten points were deducted."
After hearing this, Huo Yao fell into a mysterious silence.
There is a simpler method, but she insists on following the complicated steps step by step. It seems that she knows too little about the academic world.
After a while, Huo Yao spoke, "So in every exam from now on, I can only use the knowledge I learned in high school to answer questions, so that I won't be deducted points for no reason?"
"That's the theory," the Secretary General said with a smile.
Huo Yao pressed his brows with a melancholy look, "Okay, I understand."
This time she dug her own grave. Being too smart is not a good thing.
Zhao Lian was silent for a moment, then he raised his head, looked at her and said in an ambiguous tone: "If you can make it to the international competition stage, you don't have to worry about the problem of exceeding the syllabus."
When the Secretary-General heard what Zhao Lian said, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.
Although he is only a member of the association in name, he has extensive connections in several major associations in Beijing, not to mention that he is a professor of biology at Qingdao University.
Is it a bit exaggerated to have high hopes for a young girl who has only made her mark in the preliminary exams and preliminaries?
