Chapter 75 Mathematics Preliminary Competition, Increased Difficulty
After Cheng Ye finished dealing with the moving matters, he looked at his simple and well-organized room and walked out slowly. The clean and tidy living room was spotless.
This living room was just close to the room where he and Jiang Mian would live.
The house in the backyard of the small clinic has three bedrooms and two living rooms, and each bedroom has an independent balcony and bathroom.
Song Ranqiu usually eats in another living room.
Cheng Ye had to pass through a long corridor and the kitchen before he could reach the living room where Song Ranqiu was.
Overall, life is quite convenient.
Cheng Ye opened the room next door and spent an hour cleaning it up. As long as it was tidy and clean, it would be fine. As for how Jiang Mian wanted to decorate it, she would naturally decorate it according to her taste.
Song Ranqiu took a brand new blanket and pillow and placed them on the bed in Cheng Ye's room. She walked out and glanced at Cheng Ye, "Xiao Ye, how far have you and Xiao Mian progressed?"
Cheng Ye was stunned for a moment, "Friend?"
Song Ranqiu smiled and said, "Are we still just friends?"
Cheng Ye said helplessly, "I'm a senior in high school, what do you want?"
Song Ranqiu said angrily, "Shouldn't you pay attention to your lifelong event? I think Xiaomian has a good personality, is pretty, well-behaved and likable, and you and she look like a good match."
Cheng Ye was speechless. The topic was a bit outrageous. They looked like a couple?
Song Ranqiu wanted to continue talking, but Cheng Ye quickly stopped her, "Grandma, you can't mention these things when Jiang Mian comes, otherwise it will be very embarrassing."
"I know, I know. We have to proceed step by step." Song Ranqiu nodded. "You too, can't bully her."
Cheng Ye replied nonchalantly: "Sure."
Speaking of bullying, Cheng Ye felt like he was being tricked by Jiang Mian in the hospital.
Who will bully whom, who will be on top and who will be at the bottom, it's hard to say...
"Xiao Ye, why did you buy so many cameras?" Song Ranqiu noticed that there were a dozen unopened cameras** on the sofa in the living room.
Cheng Ye put his hands in his pockets and said in a low voice, "Except for the bedroom, install cameras in other spaces. This way it will be safer."
Song Ranqiu understood, "Will Xiaomian come back tonight?"
"No, I asked her and she will come tomorrow at noon." Cheng Ye took out his mobile phone to check the message. Principal Wang Xuandan said that there was an emergency and he had to come to see him in person.
"Grandma, the principal will be coming to our place soon, so we can have dinner together." Cheng Ye said.
Song Ranqiu was very surprised, "What is he doing here?"
"What else could it be? Studying." Cheng Ye didn't really understand. He had classes tomorrow anyway, so why did he have to come all the way here in person tonight?
"Okay, the food is almost ready." Song Ranqiu smiled kindly.
Fifteen minutes later, Wang Xuandan got out of the car, walked into the alley, and went straight to the small clinic.
When all the food was served, he came to the small clinic.
Wang Xuandan sat opposite Cheng Ye on the square dining table, sweating profusely.
Song Ranqiu sat on the side, ready to listen while eating.
Cheng Ye picked up a piece of fried pork with peppers and put it in his mouth, "Teacher, what's the matter with you coming here?"
"There are only two weeks left before the preliminaries of the Global Mathematics Competition." Wang Xuandan took out a thick English vocabulary dictionary from his bag and handed it to Cheng Ye.
"The organizers suddenly changed their minds and replaced all the Chinese test papers with English test papers, and professional mathematical vocabulary was required throughout the test."
"That is to say, the questions that could be explained in Chinese before can now only be explained in English."
"This dictionary not only covers the basic English CET-4 and CET-6, IELTS and TOEFL vocabulary, but also includes various professional mathematical terms and vocabulary."
At this point, Wang Xuandan was very angry. "It's almost the preliminaries, but they suddenly told us about it. Isn't this obviously making things difficult for the domestic players?!"
Previous global mathematics competitions have had test sites of varying sizes around the world, with more than 300,000 contestants participating each year.
According to the original rules, domestic examinations use the Chinese version of the test paper, while different countries use the local language version of the test paper.
But now, the organizers have suddenly changed their mind and announced that all domestic examination venues will use the English version of the test paper.
After this news came out, many players began to panic.
Because there are quite a few contestants who are gifted in mathematics but not so good at English.
This will lead to a very realistic problem: during the test-taking process, you may not even understand the questions, let alone answer them accurately.
Compared to Wang Xuandan's anger, Cheng Ye's eyes were calm, and he continued to eat his dinner leisurely, "Teacher, please stop talking and eat."
Wang Xuandan ate his meal angrily. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He immediately broke into a cold sweat for Cheng Ye. "Xiao Ye, don't feel any psychological pressure. It's nothing if you can't make it past the preliminaries..."
Cheng Ye raised his eyebrows. "It's not like the scope of the test has been increased. It's just that the test paper has been changed to English. Why should I be anxious? Teacher, you came here in person just to give me this dictionary?"
Wang Xuandan nodded hesitantly. "Yes, this is no small matter. After I found out about this, I rushed here without stopping. If I don't hand the dictionary to you today, I won't be able to sleep at night."
Cheng Ye sighed slightly, "Teacher, I'm taking a test, why are you more nervous than me?"
Wang Xuandan scratched his head embarrassedly, "Is it so obvious?"
"It's too obvious. Teacher, please relax." Cheng Ye tried to enlighten him.
Wang Xuandan became even more nervous. "How can I relax? Oh, by the way, Cheng Fenghao and Chu Xiyan will also participate in the competition."
"Oh." Cheng Ye was not interested. Whether they participated in the competition or not had nothing to do with him.
"Xiao Ye, the student who was the best at math in the last year's senior year participated in the global math competition last year, but he didn't even make it through the preliminaries given the Chinese version of the test paper."
Cheng Ye nodded symbolically, "Oh."
Wang Xuandan: “…”
Is Cheng Ye too relaxed?
"Teacher, please eat first." Cheng Ye said in a light tone.
"Xiao Ye, have you signed up?" Wang Xuandan suddenly thought of an important question.
Cheng Ye frowned, "Didn't you sign me up?"
Wang Xuandan: “…?”
I think the registration deadline is before 24: tonight.
Wang Xuandan quickly logged into the official website using his mobile phone and registered for Cheng Ye in time.
At the same time, Cheng's villa.
When Cheng Fenghao received the news that the global mathematics competition had changed to an English version of the test paper, his expression almost broke.
Cheng's father sat next to him, thinking about how to propose to Cheng Ye the matter of hiring a famous college entrance examination teacher tomorrow.
"Dad, why don't Xiyan and I just not participate?" Cheng Fenghao said nervously.
He is just a high school student. The preliminary round test was about advanced mathematics, and now it has become an English version of the test, which is equivalent to directly increasing the difficulty.
Even though the preliminary exam was open book, all the questions were original and there was no answer available online!!
Although it is not shameful to fail the preliminaries, it is really embarrassing if the score is low!
It’s better to leave early to avoid making a fool of yourself.
"You want to withdraw from the competition?!" Cheng's father was furious. "The exam is in two weeks, and we've already registered, and you're telling me you want to withdraw?!"
Cheng Fenghao was frightened and his body was shaking. This was the first time that Cheng's father got so angry with him.
"Dad, isn't participating in this competition just a pure waste of time?" Cheng Fenghao explained stiffly, "The schedule in the third year of high school is so tight, wouldn't it be more valuable to spend more time preparing for the college entrance examination?"
Father Cheng's face was livid. He said word by word, "Feng Hao, am I usually too relaxed with you? Look at how badly you did in the second mock exam. Don't you have any idea?!"
"The old man of the Chu family has started to complain about you. At the dinner tonight, he hinted to me that you just cried and cried when you failed the exam, and you still wanted Xiyan to coax you in a nice way!"
"You are a grown man, but you need a woman to coax you for so long. What do you want to do?!" Father Cheng looked irritable and snorted coldly, "The classroom has recently been installed with surveillance cameras, and you didn't know?!"
"The old man of the Chu family has been paying attention to how you and Xiyan get along, and he specifically asked the school to use the surveillance!! Seeing his precious granddaughter spending time and energy to coax you, he felt extremely uncomfortable, did you know that?!"
what?
Classroom surveillance?!
Cheng Fenghao was flustered.
"Originally I didn't want to talk about this, but you don't realize your problem at all, and now you even tell me that you want to withdraw from the competition?!"
Father Cheng was furious. "In our Cheng family, we either don't do anything or do it thoroughly. You're backing out before you even enter the competition! It's totally unreasonable!!"
"If you withdraw from the competition, the old man of the Chu family will be even more dissatisfied with you!!" After saying this, Father Cheng went upstairs in indignation and slammed the door shut! !
Cheng's mother and three sisters who were downstairs were also frightened by Cheng's father's bad temper. They all stood there in a daze, not coming to their senses for a long time.
Cheng Fenghao clenched his fists, and his hatred for Cheng Ye reached its peak.
Damn Cheng Ye, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been scolded and accused by my father like this! !
When has he ever been wronged like this? !
