Chapter 206: Revisiting the Old Place
Ten hours later, the minibus slowly stopped at the entrance of a school, and the four large bronzing characters of Kyoto University were magnificently hung on the antique gatehouse, which was the main venue for their competition.
Liao Yanran led the five students down from the minibus, and a fair-skinned young lady was already greeted at the door.
She was wearing a white down jacket with a cute ponytail tied behind her head, looking full of youthful vitality, and when she saw a group of six of them getting out of the car, she immediately greeted her with a smile.
"Hello, I'm a first-year student at Beijing University, are you a team from Lindong City?" asked the young lady politely.
After receiving Liao Yanran's affirmative reply, the young lady immediately said, "I am your receptionist, and I will arrange your accommodation next, take you to familiarize yourself with the competition venue, etc., if you have any questions, you can come to me." You must be tired all the way here, so I'll take you to the dormitory first. ”
After Liao Yanran thanked her, the young lady led the way in front, and the group entered the campus together.
It's the vacation time of the university, and the college students have basically gone home, but the campus is very lively, and you can see people everywhere with their green faces, all of whom are contestants from all over the country who come to participate in the competition.
On the way to the dormitory, the young lady introduced the buildings passing by very conscientiously, which was the teaching building of the Department of Mathematics, the laboratory building of the Department of Physics, etc., so that these newcomers quickly became familiar with the surrounding environment.
With the introduction of the young lady, Qian Xiaohui, Lin Yingjie and others all looked around with novel eyes, their eyes full of awe. In that era when college students were very scarce, the highest university in the country had some high weight in the hearts of students.
And for Xu Tianyu, there is a special emotion.
In his previous life, he lingered at the school gate more than once, looking at the students who entered and exited the school gate with high spirits, he didn't know how much envy he contributed.
This unknown complex has lasted for many years, especially when his career was not going well at the beginning of his business, and he often came here, wondering if he would be able to do a better job if he graduated from this school.
So much so that after his successful career, he especially favored the graduates of Beijing University when recruiting talents.
Now that he has set foot here again, and there is hope to compete for the special recruitment quota of Beijing University, he feels like a world away.
The school allocated them two dormitories, one for three boys, one for Liao Yanran and two girls, and a special classroom for them in the teaching building of the mathematics department. Of course, this is a benefit that every participating team can enjoy, and it is not unique to them.
Soon the young lady took them to the dormitory, and Xu Tianyu noticed that the young lady had been subtly observing them all the way. The reason why I say subtle is because there is not only curiosity in her eyes, but also a little more scrutiny.
It's like an aunt in the vegetable market picking vegetables in front of the vegetable stall, which makes Xu Tianyu feel a strange feeling in his heart, as if they are commodities to be sold at a price.
In fact, this is not to blame that the young lady is not polite, but because these guides are not only to serve the contestants, but also to play the role of gatekeepers for the school.
Because the students who can excel in the competition are sought-after students all over the country, it can be said that a champion winner, all universities in the country can go sideways, and no matter where they go, they will be warmly welcomed.
Beijing University is not the only powerful university in the country, for example, next door to them, Shuihua University is a top university on a par with Beijing University, the difference is only the difference between majors. It may be that the mathematics department of Beijing University is stronger, and the chemistry department of Shui Hua is better.
In terms of relative rankings, the two are comparable, and the attraction to students is very huge.
And this time, Beijing University hosted the mathematics competition, of course, it was the first to get the moon near the water, trying to find some good seedlings first and grab them in advance.
So the young lady also received the task, and when she observed this team, she was optimistic about Xu Tianyu, because this student was too calm.
She had done her homework before she was given the assignment, and the city of Rinto was a small place in the country, and the students who came out there looked like farmers to her, a native of Kyoto.
But this farmer, when facing the highest university in the country, is a little calmer than when she, a local, first entered the campus.
She secretly wrote down Xu Tianyu in her heart, of course, she couldn't go to Beijing University just because she was calm, and in the end, she had to have good grades to be admitted to Beijing University.
But at least in the previous contact, you can also understand the student's personality to the greatest extent, and if you are really a genius, you can also prescribe the right medicine when recruiting.
When the young lady led them to the dormitory, she left and told them that she was coming over for dinner and led them to the cafeteria.
Xu Tianyu and Lin Yingjie Qi Hao walked into their boys' dormitory, the dormitory was very tidy, with clean bedding on the bed and a separate bathroom, after all, it is the highest university in the country, and the conditions are naturally incomparable to the city's first high school.
After a simple tidying up, Liao Yanran came to inform them to go to the classroom for a mobilization meeting, Xu Tianyu and the three boys quickly put down the things in their hands and followed Liao Yanran to the classroom that belonged to them.
Liao Yanran was holding a piece of paper in her hand, which was the competition schedule given to them by the young lady before leaving.
"This competition is divided into two stages, the preliminary round and the semi-final, this time there are a total of 36 teams participating in the competition, according to the total score, 36 into 10, so you are not easy.
The preliminaries will be held tomorrow, with a break in between, on which the exam papers will be reviewed and the semi-finals will be decided. The top 10 teams will play the final the day after tomorrow, and then wait for the results to be announced one day, followed by the medal ceremony.
What I want to tell you is that there are no prizes set in the preliminaries, and if you want to win a prize, you have to enter the semi-finals, otherwise we will be in vain.
In addition, there are not only team awards but also individual awards in the semi-finals, so it can be said that this is where you can really show your talents. ”
"Do you have the confidence to advance to the semifinals!" Liao Yanran said loudly.
"Yes!"
Driven by Liao Yanran, the students were all in high spirits and exuded an indomitable momentum, especially Xing Jiayue, who screamed like a boy.
Liao Yanran is very satisfied with the mental state shown by several of them, and sometimes it is very important to do a thing. As the saying goes, when the narrow road meets, the brave wins, and that's the truth.
"Teacher Liao, can I ask a question?" Xu Tianyu raised his hand, indicating that he had something to say.
Liao Yanran nodded, "If you have any questions, just ask." ”
"Can you tell me about the previous preliminaries, how many points you need to score to enter the semifinals?"
"The total score of the preliminary round is 500 points, and if you want to enter the semi-finals, you must score at least 460 points, which is only a conservative estimate, because the quality of students is different every year, and the results of entering the semi-finals are also slightly different, but it is generally between 460 and 70. Take last year as an example, the total score of last year's tenth place was 465 points, of course, the overall level of last year's students was relatively high, but you should not take it lightly, at least you must reach more than 470 points, in order to have absolute certainty. ”
Xu Tianyu nodded, thinking in his heart. He stood up and said to the other four students, "I can guarantee a full score in the test, Lin Yingjie, your strength is second only to me, you must score more than 95 points, and the remaining 25 points are the scores that the three of you can lose." How are you sure?"
Since untying the knot, Lin Yingjie has been a lot more cheerful, he smiled and nodded, "I have no problem, the minimum is 95 points, and if you play extraordinary, you can get a few more points." ”
Xing Jiayue and Qian Xiaohui also nodded at the same time, indicating that they had no problem. The least confident of the five people is Qi Hao, and his results are the worst among the five.
He said with a bitter face and very unconfident, "I ...... I'll try to make sure of it. ”
Xu Tianyu looked at him with a serious expression and said, "It's not as much as possible, but it is necessary, I tell you, my goal is to be admitted to Beijing University, so the semi-finals must enter, if any of you dare to drag me back, I will definitely kill him." After saying that, he raised his fist with a fierce expression.
Lin Yingjie knew that his fist was powerful, so he shrunk his neck unnaturally, but Xing Jiayue looked indifferent, but raised his eyebrows quietly, and teased, "If I drag you back, will you also beat me to death?" Xiaohui, do you dare to beat me too?"
Xu Tianyu immediately broke the gong and said with a smile, "What I said is just for boys, you don't count, hehe." ”
Xing Jiayue gave him a look that counted him as acquaintance, and snorted before he gave up.
Liao Yanran was accustomed to the speed at which he changed his face, pursed her lips and snickered, but did not stop their nonsense. She can probably understand what Xu Tianyu meant when he said this, in order to add a little pressure to everyone, maybe to make people play extraordinarily.
Sure enough, after listening to his words, Qi Hao's face directly turned the color of pig liver, and he swore and promised, "Xu Tianyu, don't worry, for your future, I will definitely work hard and definitely let you enter the semifinals." ”
Seeing that the effect was achieved, Xu Tianyu's face softened, and he patted Qi Hao's shoulder heavily and said, "Well, I believe in you, you can definitely do it, let's reach the peak of life together." ”
It's called beating a stick and then giving a piece of candy.
