Chapter 455: Just let them have a good time
Team leader Jiang Jiguo couldn't help but shake his head and smile helplessly when he saw that several team members were still making a fuss when they were eating breakfast at the breakfast restaurant.
Speaking of which, the five members of the team selected this time are all related to each other. Zhang Ziqiang, Fang Yuan, and Jian Fangge tied for first place in the 2016 Huaguo Primary Mathematics Olympiad, while Liu Beibei and Fei Yang were the fourth and fifth places that year. There is only one Wu Jizun, who is the Olympiad genius who rose later in Lingnan.
Before, dozens of mathematical geniuses participated in the summer camp of Shuimu University, and naturally no one was convinced, especially Zhang Ziqiang, Fang Yuan, and Jian Fangge. Zhang Ziqiang is okay, he doesn't listen to things outside the window, and only reads sage books; But Fang Yuan and Jian Fangge kept pinching each other, and dragged Zhang Ziqiang into it from time to time.
Later, in the selection examination of the participating players, Zhang Ziqiang won the first place with a more prominent advantage, which made Fang Yuan and Jian Fangge slightly subdued. Later, after a week of special training, they got along day and night, although the three of them still quarreled from time to time, but the relationship was much better.
A few minutes after eight o'clock in New York time, the members of the Huaguo team finally finished breakfast, and then discussed, divided into two lanes, and the park outside the hotel was ventilated and adjusted.
Zhang Ziqiang, Fang Yuan, and Jian Fangge worked in groups of three, watched by team leader Jiang Jiguo; Liu Beibei, Fei Yang, and Wu Jizun worked in groups of three, watched by Shi Wenhu, the deputy team leader.
This hotel is the host of the United States specially used to settle the national Olympiad teams, not only the hardware facilities inside the hotel are good, the service is considerate, even the outside environment is like a garden, very suitable for leisure and vacation.
Obviously, the United States is unwilling to lose its demeanor as a great country in the issue of hosting teams from various countries.
Walking on the cobblestone path, Fang Yuan followed closely beside Zhang Ziqiang and said, "Brother Qiang, tell me about your Taoyuan School again?" When I attended the summer camp at Mizuki University, I heard that almost all of the more than 100 graduates of your Taoyuan School this year were admitted to the prestigious universities in Yenching. β
Zhang Ziqiang glanced at Fang Yuan. "If you want to know more about our school, you can go to Taoyuan High School after returning to Yanjing." β
At this time, Jian Fangge in front of him stopped, turned his head and smiled at the two of them: "Let's see what's the use, I said Fang Yuan, you can transfer directly to Taoyuan High School." In that case, you can ask Xiaoqiang for math every day. β
Zhang Ziqiang felt very helpless, he could let Fang Yuan not call him Xiaoqiang, but he couldn't care about Jian Fangge, the witch.
Counting Yanjing's two high school final examinations and the selection exams for summer camp participants, Fang Yuan lost to Zhang Ziqiang three times, so he served Zhang Ziqiang. But for Jian Fangge, Fang Yuan refused to give in an inch. immediately asked, "Why don't you transfer to Taoyuan High School?" β
Jian Fangge said: "Is my family good in Shencheng?" If there was Taoyuan High School in Shencheng, I might have gone there. β
"Sophistry!"
Seeing that the two were fighting again, Zhang Ziqiang hurriedly walked forward quickly, leaving the battle circle to prevent being affected.
Within a dozen steps, Zhang Ziqiang ran into another group of black-haired and yellow-skinned teenagers. Seeing more than a dozen people on the other side, he laughed loudly with a flamboyant demeanor, and Zhang Ziqiang frowned and wanted to pass through quickly.
Who knew that the group of people huddled together, just wouldn't give way to him. If he wanted to get there, he had to go around the grass. But there is a sign next to it. It was written in English - no trampling of grass.
"Please give way." Zhang Ziqiang said in English.
The other party did not give way, but walked out a tall young man who seemed to be the leader, and also said in English: "Huaguo? β
At this time, Fang Yuan and Jian Fangge in the back also caught up, and Fang Yuan asked, "Brother Qiang." What happened? β
Jian Fangge, the witch, said directly: "What can happen, it must be this group of people who are bullying Xiaoqiang with a lot of people." β
Zhang Ziqiang ignored Jian Fangge and said to the tall boy: "We are from the Huaguo team, please get out of the way." β
The tall boy smiled. Said to the teenagers around him: "The Chinese people asked us to give way, should we let us?" β
The tall boy seemed to have a lot of authority in this group, and asked. The other teenagers immediately answered one by one.
"This road is not from the Chinese country, why should we make way for the Chinese people? Don't let it! β
"There are many Chinese people, and they like to pay attention to the minority and obey the majority in everything they do. There are a lot of us now, and according to their reasoning, they should make way for us! β
"Let's get out of the way? Just by virtue of their Huaguo's garbage results in the International Olympiad in recent years, they are also worthy? Go home and entertain yourself as soon as possible! β
"If you have the audacity to go around the grass, why should you let us get out of the way?"
ββ
The other party all spoke English, although it sounded a little awkward to Zhang Ziqiang and the others, but they all understood. Hearing the provocation and contempt between the other party's words, Fang Yuan and Jian Fangge couldn't help but blush with anger.
Zhang Ziqiang took care of his mother and younger brother alone in elementary school, and he was not less blinded and angry, and he had already practiced Qi cultivation kung fu, although he was also angry in his heart, but he only squinted slightly and looked at each other coldly.
When the tall young man saw Zhang Ziqiang like this, he looked at Zhang Ziqiang again with a smile, and then spread his hands and smiled: "You have seen it, it is inconvenient for us to give way." β
Hearing this, Fang Yuan finally couldn't help it and asked, "Are you being reasonable?" There are only three of us, isn't it a hassle to make way for so many of you? β
Jian Fangge said directly: "With your mathematical logic, you still came to participate in the Olympiad competition, I am really ashamed!" β
Hearing Fang Yuan and Jian Fangge's words, the other party immediately fought back, Jian Fangge and Fang Yuan were only two people, and the other party was unreasonable, so naturally they couldn't fight, and they were angry everywhere for a while.
Just as the battle was about to escalate, the adults finally arrived. After Jiang Jiguo, the leader of Huaguo, the team leader of Japan and South Korea, and a staff member of the United States who came to the country, a group of teenagers had to disperse.
After this incident, Jiang Jiguo was afraid that something would happen to a few people, and seeing that it was already half past eight, he asked the three of them to go back to the hotel to prepare to go to the arena.
Walking on the road, Jian Fangge said unhappily: "Xiaoqiang, why didn't you open your mouth to help us just now?" β
"yes, there are so many of them. If it weren't for the fact that everyone was concerned about the rule that people can't curse and fight, it is estimated that we would be even worse. Fang Yuan rarely stood on the same front with Jian Fangge.
Zhang Ziqiang said: "We are here to participate in the Olympiad competition, what's the point of messing with them?" If you really feel uncomfortable, you can beat them in the game. By that time, it will be interesting to see if they are as faceless as they are today. β
Fang Yuan and Jian Fangge were both stunned when they heard Zhang Ziqiang's wordsβthe two of them naturally knew this truth, but they didn't expect that Zhang Ziqiang could think so much under the situation just now.
That's too calm, isn't it?
While talking, the three of them passed by a small square in front of the hotel, but saw several foreign teenagers pointing at them and laughing, listening to the accent, it turned out to be a member of the United States team who also lived in the hotel.
"Look, it's this group of yellow-skinned monkeys who even quarreled before the competition. If the adults hadn't stopped it in the past, it is estimated that they would have started fighting, which is really unqualified. β
"Orientals are like that, they like to fight over things that don't make sense. Even for the sake of a thing called face, fight to the death. I really don't understand, how much can face be sold for a kilogram? β
"Therefore, although there are many people in the East, their scientific achievements are not as high as ours."
"I heard that there is an Olympiad genius named Haruru Yamamoto in the Japanese team in this competition, and I attach great importance to them, but now it seems that it must be the Oriental boasting again. Hmph, the champion of this competition is destined to be our country! β
ββ
These Mi teenagers are not small in their voices, so Zhang Ziqiang and the three of them heard it clearly. Although I knew that the other party was also satirizing Japanese and Koreans, I was still unhappy.
Jian Fangge, the witch, raised her eyebrows, and was about to step forward to reason with these Mi teenagers, but was stopped by Zhang Ziqiang.
"Don't be impulsive, just let them get over it first."
Zhang Ziqiang's sarcastic attitude towards the young man in the United States did not care, which made Jian Fangge feel his strong confidence. So Jian Fangge snorted at the group of rice boys, then shook off Zhang Ziqiang's hand with a slight red face, and walked towards the hotel together.
Fang Yuan walked at the back and made a strange face to the group of rice boys, and gave a silent "hello".
After the young man of the rice country saw it, he couldn't help but look at each other, and discussed it again-
"What did that Chinese kid say to us just now?"
"He didn't say anything, he didn't hear it."
"I don't know if it's Mandarin or English."
"I remember the shape of his mouth, and it seems to be 'funny'."
"'Comics'? What is the meaning? β
The United States set up the arena in a university near the hotel, and after the students arrived at the stadium at nine o'clock, they were divided into groups to do questions in each examination room. In order to allow students to have a good environment for doing questions, basically the teams from various countries have a small classroom as the examination room.
There are two invigilators, one is the leader of the team from your home country and the other is the leader of the team from another country. Mutual supervision, i.e., to prevent students from cheating, and to prevent other countries from being too strict in invigilation. Of course, each examination room is also monitored by cameras without blind spots.
The test questions of the competition are provided by the participating countries (or not), and the host country does not provide the test questions, but will form a topic selection committee to select the questions. The selection of topics is mainly to select and avoid the appearance of existing test questions, and then the test questions are classified and divided into ABC level 3 according to difficulty.
After selection, there are generally 30 test questions, and then 6 test questions are voted on by the main test committee. The examiners are composed of the team leaders and the chairpersons appointed by the host country, who are usually the country's mathematical authorities.
The test questions selected in this way are naturally quite fair and authoritative.
After entering the examination room, Zhang Ziqiang and the six of them quickly sat down in various positions. The small classroom is small, but quite spacious for six people, with each person at least three meters apart.
Soon, the competition test papers, straw paper, pens and other tools were sent out, and the six of them checked them under the guidance of the invigilator in their home country, and after confirming that they were correct, they started to do the questions on time at 9:10.
