After putting away the luggage, everyone chatted on the sofa in the hall on the third floor, and Coulson asked suspiciously: "Why did that Zhao Hailun have red eyes just now and run fast, as if she was being chased by a ghost?" ”

President Maya said calmly: "She and I haven't seen each other for many years, and she was so surprised by this unexpected encounter that she cried with joy, and we talked for a while, and she almost forgot that she still had work to do, and she was naturally in a hurry when she left." ”

In previous years, the United States only sent about 20 people to the five competitions of mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and computers, but this time it was held at Harvard University, and the number was slightly more, but it was not more than 30 people. Maya, on the other hand, has more than 30 students from New York, and if you count students from other states, there are at least a few hundred, so a large number of people have to be eliminated before the official competition begins.

Of course, it is not without gain to be eliminated, because the elimination of them is also the Olympiad, but in the United States, which means that Harvard will hold two competitions, domestic and international.

In addition to the Boston natives, Maya and the other students from New York are relatively close, and after their arrival, almost all the American students have arrived, so the Harvard University Administration Office held a small party tonight to welcome the many teachers and students who came.

Maya took a shower and changed into her new fall school uniform, well, well, just a pair of black skinny fleece pants under a blue skirt.

When I came to the banquet hall, it was already half past seven in the evening, and the banquet hall was a cafeteria at Harvard University, but at this time, there were only middle school students participating in the Olympiad, and there was no student at Harvard University except for volunteers. In the center of the venue there are two rows of large dining tables piled high with aromatic food, and there are comfortable sofas or chairs scattered around the hall, enough to seat all the guests.

Just as Maya was holding a plate and sandwiching a browned lamb rib for herself, she suddenly caught a glimpse of two freckled teenagers pointing at her.

"Is that Maya Hansen, who is participating in the Olympiad for the sixth time? Oh my God, I thought such a shameless person was a fat glasses lady, I didn't expect her to be so beautiful. "The freckles of the juvenile nails are starting to glow.

But his companion said disdainfully: "What about being good-looking? She is so shameless, she can already enter the university early, but she still robs us of opportunities. ”

Maya's perception spread throughout the room, and gradually, more and more discussions about her reached her ears.

"See, that Maya Hansen... In the first five sessions, she signed up for all five projects, and occupied 25 places five times! ”

"Hey, I knew that I had little chance, but when I saw Maya Hansen, I was even more desperate, wasn't the Olympiad used to train young people? What's the matter with her coming over to brush up on honors? ”

"Don't say that, she's only a freshman in high school...... However, she has participated in it five times, which is indeed a bit excessive. ”

"Yes, I heard from Harvard's senior sister that Maya Hansen doesn't even have to participate in our American Olympiad, as long as she is willing to sign up, she will automatically have the qualification for an International Olympiad, which is too much!"

......

"Bang!"

Maya put down her fork, and when she heard those remarks, the black pepper steak in her mouth was gone, "Damn Zhao Hailun, she must be slandering me behind her back." Hey, next time I won't let you taste all the eighteen kinds of torture, we won't be surnamed Ma! ”

Joey wasn't blind or deaf either, and those students' discussions avoided Maya, but not her. Seeing Maya's appearance at this time, she also understood that she already knew those words, so she immediately asked with concern, "Maya, are you okay?" They're all jealous of you, and you're qualified for direct entry based on your ability... Why don't you go find Mr. Coulson? ”

Maya nodded and said, "It's true that you should ask Teacher Coulson for help, you eat by yourself first, and I'll come when I go." ”

Joey saw Maya walk up to Coulson, and didn't know what she said to Coulson, and soon trotted to a middle-aged man in a suit and said a few words.

Joey knew the man with the bald crown of his head, George, the chair of the mathematics department at Harvard, and the organizer of the International Olympiad.

Finally, she saw her friend walk over to the center microphone, which Director George had just used to give his speech.

"Bang Bang!"

After patting the microphone and auditioning a few times, President Maya nodded with satisfaction and said to the students in the hall with strange expressions: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am Maya Hansen, I have participated in five International Olympiads, that is, when I was in the fourth grade, that is, when I was 8 years old, I began to compete with the smartest middle school students in the world. Except for the first time, which was selected step by step, the rest of the times, including this time, I only need to sign up, and my name will definitely be on the final entry list.

I say this not to show off, but because you guys are dissing my voice too loudly behind my back, affecting my appetite when it comes, and for this, I have to defend myself.

In the first International Olympiad, I won 4 golds and 1 silver, the second time, hardware, the third time, three golds and two silvers, the fourth gold, and the fifth hardware. Wouldn't I be qualified to get the ticket for the final competition? ”

"Wow, it's terrible, only the first place can win the gold medal, this Maya Hansen can get 4 first places in the competition with high school students at the age of 8, so strong!"

"This, if she doesn't say that I haven't paid attention to it, there are only five events in the International Olympiad, and Maya Hansen has been so messed up, hasn't other countries seen a gold medal for many years?"

"Maya Hansen is indeed eligible to be exempted from the domestic tryouts."

......

Zhao Hailun listened to the surrounding discussions, gritted his silver teeth and said secretly: "Even if you say so, you have participated in so many competitions, at least it shows that you are a vain guy." ”

Perhaps hearing her heart, President Maya continued, "I am a man of vanity!" ”

"Boom!"

It was as if a cloudburst bomb had been detonated in the venue, and many students were shocked by Maya's words.

"Oh my God, Maya, what the hell are you talking about?!" Joey sighed under his forehead.

Maya looked at the crowd below who were either stunned or exaggerated, her voice was calm, and she continued: "The reason why I have repeatedly participated in the International Olympiad many times is to covet the glory of global fame, once, twice, three gold medals can not satisfy me, I yearn for more and greater glory, as early as a few years ago I broke a Guinness World Record - the number of gold medals in the International Olympiad. Yes, I have already broken the world record for the number of gold medals in the Olympiad, but I want to be more brilliant, I want glory that no one has ever seen before, and even those who come after me will not be able to catch up. ”

At this moment, whether it was the students participating in the competition, Coulson and other teachers, or even the teachers and students present at Harvard University, they all looked at President Maya in the center of the crowd with a complicated and indescribable look.

And President Maya's speech, uh, or pretending, continues...... 166 Reading Network
