Chapter 338: Invitation to the National Team

Chapter 338

A tall man as majestic as a mountain, plus a little girl carved in pink.

Cheng Nuo looked at these two people, first stunned suddenly, and then walked over with a doting smile on his face.

He touched the little girl's head, leaned down slightly and smiled, "Noi, why are you here?"

That's right, this little girl is the Anoyi children's shoes that Cheng Nuo hasn't seen for almost a year.

The elementary school monk ...... Oh no, now Anoy has gotten out of the elementary school monk stage and has become a glorious Chinese junior high school student.

In the fifth season of the "Strongest Brain" international competition two years ago, the two teamed up to defeat a quick calculation master from the island country.

Of course, Anoy children's shoes also have another identity - Su's little cousin!

Its foodie attributes are in the same vein!

was touched and killed by Cheng Nuo, An Nuoyi wrinkled her nose slightly, blinked a pair of big watery eyes, and said crisply, "It was Coach Hong who asked me to come with him to find you, big brother!"

Coach Hong?

Cheng Nuo tilted his head slightly and looked up at the middle-aged man beside him.

This face...... Seems familiar?

The "Coach Hong" seemed to feel that Cheng Nuo was looking at him, he stretched out his hand to Cheng Nuo, and said with a smile, "Cheng Nuo, we have a relationship." You forgot, in June of the previous year, when you participated in the final round of auditions for "The Strongest Brain?"

Oh, it turned out to be him!!

After such a reminder, Cheng Nuo remembered who this person was.

Hong Zhong, the head coach of Huaguo Abacus Mental Arithmetic National Team, was invited by the strongest brain program group to serve as the interviewer of Cheng Nuo's group.

Cheng Nuo still remembers that at that time, Coach Hong seemed to be a little bit at odds with him, but when he left, he still invited himself to join the abacus national team, but was rejected by Cheng Nuo on the grounds of "no interest in money".

So today, what ......is the purpose of this Coach Hong coming downstairs to find himself in the dormitory?

Cheng Nuo first greeted Hong Zhong with a sudden understanding, and then asked, "I wonder why Coach Hong came to me?"

Coach Hong looked around and said with a smile, "It's not convenient to talk here, how about we find a quiet place?"

Cheng Nuo nodded, "Yes, there is a café nearby, let's go over there and talk!"

............

"What?!let me join the national team!" In the café, Cheng Nuo almost exclaimed.

Sitting opposite, Annoy was completely in the posture of a small follower, silently stirring the coffee with a spoon without hearing what was going on outside the window.

Hong Zhong showed a dignified and polite smile on his face, "Yes, Cheng Nuo, now I sincerely invite you to join our national team of mental arithmetic and participate in the World Abacus Mental Arithmetic Competition to be held in Seattle in February this year!"

Cheng Nuo smiled bitterly, "Coach Hong, this is not good! In terms of age alone, I am not suitable!"

When he said that his age was inappropriate, he didn't mean that he was too young, but that he ...... Too old!

Cheng Nuo is only 20 years old this year.

In other areas, this is basically due to the age of a "newborn calf", but in the field of quick calculation, this is almost past the age of retirement.

The golden period of a quick arithmetic player is about eight to fifteen years old, and once it exceeds this age, there will be a significant decline in the level due to various reasons.

In recent years, there are few players who have represented the Chinese team in the World Abacus Mental Arithmetic Competition, and there are few players who are more than 15 years old, and as for those who are more than 20 years old, there is no one!

Therefore, it is appropriate for an age like Anoyi to join the national team, as for Cheng Nuo......

He, a man of his "uncle" age, doesn't want to get involved in the affairs of the national team.

Coach Hong shook his head and didn't focus on this issue at all, "Rest assured, the organizing committee of the competition does not make strict rules on age. So your age is not a problem at all. Don't say you're only twenty years old, even if you're seventy or eighty years old, there's no problem with participating. ”

Cheng Nuo: "......"

That's the truth, but it always feels like something is not right!

Cheng Nuo still politely refused, "Coach Hong, there should be many people in your team who are more suitable than me to participate in this World Series, why do you have to find me?"

The Chinese national team has participated in the abacus competition for 15 years, and has won the championship for nine consecutive years, and its dominance is self-evident.

It doesn't make sense to let go of the main force of the national team, so you have to ask yourself a little-known college student to join the national team!

Coach Hong sighed, "We are also forced to be helpless, you don't know, the three main members of the national team were secretly recruited by a military base a week ago. It will take at least half a year to be repatriated. ”

"But the World Abacus Mental Arithmetic Competition is still more than two months away, and with our current lineup, I'm afraid it's really hard to say that we can successfully defend the championship, so I thought of you, Cheng Nuo!"

For some reason, when Hong Zhong faced such a predicament at that time, the first thing that came to mind was not the group of retired national team players, but ...... In a meeting two years ago, the boy who made an unusually deep impression on him in less than two hours!

So, here he is!

Come to Tsinghua University and find Cheng Nuo!

Cheng Nuo was still hesitating, "Professor Kehong, I'm really busy during this time, and I'm ......"

Cheng Nuo had just finished speaking less than halfway before he became dumbfounded!

Because Coach Hong Zhong was holding a piece of paper in his hand at this time, it was an appointment order, printed with the seal of the People's Liberation Army headquarters.

The name of the transferred person is none other than Cheng Nuo!

Since the main members have been recruited away, it will definitely give Coach Hong Zhong a certain amount of compensation. The form of compensation is the absolute freedom in the selection of team members and the full support of the department.

Cheng Nuo smiled bitterly and stretched out his hand, "Coach Hong, for me, you really took great pains!"

Coach Hong Zhong laughed, "Cheng Nuo, don't be so sad! I believe that you definitely have the strength to lead us to successfully defend our title." ”

Cheng Nuo smiled undeniably, "That's nature." ”

The feeling of being forced to pretend to be forced is really ...... Very unpleasant!

............

Leaving the café, Cheng Nuo hadn't taken two steps before he received a call from Professor Fang.

Cheng Nuo, who was familiar with the road, came to the office, and this time there was only Professor Fang.

The topic of conversation was about this year's American Collegiate Mathematical Contest in Modeling.

This is what is often referred to as the Mei Sai.

The time of the event is in February every year, and Professor Fang is not going to let Cheng Nuo participate, but the college plans to let Cheng Nuo participate in the competition and get a special prize for Tsinghua University.

The final decision is naturally based on the Academy.

Professor Fang asked Cheng Nuo for his opinion.

Cheng Nuo said with a wry smile that he was going to fly to Seattle in the United States in February to participate in the World Speed Calculation Competition, from February 9th to February 11th.

Professor Fang said that it was just right, the time of the American competition was February 14th, and the venue was San Francisco, not far from Seattle, so you could rush over directly after the game and save a plane ticket!

Therefore, when Cheng Nuo hadn't expressed any opinions, this matter was so happily decided!
