Chapter 172: Persuasion

Early the next morning, when Ye Leng'an came to St. Ann's Middle School, he saw a big red banner hanging at the school gate, which read, "Warm congratulations to our school for winning the first place in the National Mathematics Olympiad".

Looking at the big banner, the corners of Ye Leng'an's mouth couldn't help twitching. Although she knew that she would win the first place, she really didn't expect that the principal would hang such a banner. Moreover, the speed of this banner is really fast enough! The result came out yesterday afternoon, and this morning the banner was hung up.

Entering the school, this time, Ye Leng'an attracted the attention of many students. However, unlike in the past, most of the eyes that looked at her at this moment were filled with admiration and adoration.

Who would have thought that after the start of last semester, the results were still mediocre, but they were able to catch up later, and the results have been firmly ranked first, and now they have won the first place in the national Olympiad competition. Such a change is indeed impressive.

Facing everyone's eyes, Ye Leng'an did not feel the slightest uncomfortable. She didn't go straight to the classroom, but walked towards the principal's office. She came here today to find the principal to fulfill her promise.

Came to the door of the principal's office, knocked on the door, and after getting a response, Ye Leng'an pushed the door in. But as soon as she entered the door, she saw that in the principal's room, in addition to the principal, there was also an old man.

The two of them sat on the couch, drinking tea.

I didn't expect that there would be guests in the principal's room, Ye Leng'an nodded to Zheng Anyang, and said, "Principal, I'm sorry, I didn't know you had guests here." I'll come back to you later. ”

Now that there are outsiders in the principal's office, she is embarrassed to come to the principal to discuss the matter of skipping a grade. So, she turned around and planned to leave, waiting until after class.

"Ye Leng'an, please wait a minute!"

Seeing that Ye Leng'an was about to turn around and leave, Zheng Anyang immediately got up and called out to her, "This old Sun is here to find you." ”

After hearing Zheng Anyang's words, Ye Leng'an was stunned for a moment, although she was a little confused, but then she turned around and walked over.

The kind-eyed old man who was drinking tea with the principal just now, after seeing Ye Leng'an, it was like seeing some treasure, his eyes were about to shine, he immediately stood up and walked quickly to Ye Leng'an, with a kind smile on his face, "You are Ye Leng'an's classmate!" Hello, my surname is Sun, and they all call me Sun Lao. ”

With such a quick movement, it really doesn't look like a skill that an old man in his sixties can have.

Ye Leng'an didn't know the old man in front of her, but she could also see that the old man had a good impression of her, so she nodded politely, and then said hello, "Old Sun, hello." ”

"Ye Leng'an, you may not know." Zheng Anyang took a step forward and introduced, "This Sun Lao is the dean of the Department of Mathematics of Imperial Capital University, and he is also the dean of the National Mathematical Research Center. He is very accomplished in mathematics. ”

After hearing Zheng Anyang's introduction, Ye Leng'an nodded.

Because she still didn't know what this old man came to her for. It can't be because of yesterday's math Olympiad! However, it is impossible to come to her directly because of a math Olympiad last night! I don't know how many years this Olympiad has been held, and I don't know how many first places there are. If you have to meet everyone, then this old Sun is also quite busy.

"Night boy." Sun Lao looked at Ye Leng'an and smiled amiably, "Actually, I came today to ask you, why did you choose such an answer to the last question of yesterday's competition?" ”

"Is my answer wrong?" Ye Leng'an was a little surprised, "It shouldn't be!" ”

She was still very confident in her answer, could she really be wrong? However, even if you do something wrong, there is no need to come to the door like this!

"No, no." Sun Lao shook his head again and again, "Your answer is not wrong, and it is even excellent." That's why I wanted to ask you about your solution. ”

Hearing that her answer was not wrong, Ye Leng'an's mood did not fluctuate too much, she nodded, and did not hide anything, and directly said her thoughts.

Listening to Ye Leng'an's solution ideas, Sun Lao's eyes became brighter and brighter, and when he looked at Ye Leng'an, his eyes became more and more appreciative.

Zheng Anyang, who was on the side, listened to Ye Leng'an's words, as if he was listening to some heavenly book. Just because he's a headmaster doesn't mean he's omnipotent. Even if he has some understanding of the Olympiad topic, this last problem is a world problem that he has just solved, and he has never heard of it before, so when he listens to it, it is really in the clouds.

After listening to Ye Leng'an's explanation, Sun Lao Mao suddenly opened, and when he looked at Ye Leng'an, his eyes seemed to be shining, "Sure enough, there are talented people in the country!" I didn't think of such a train of thought before! Ye Xiao, do you know how much you have contributed to the mathematical community! ”

"The math community?" After hearing Elder Sun's words, Ye Leng'an felt a little surprised, "Elder Sun, what do you mean by this?" ”

She just did a competition problem, so how could she have something to do with the math world?

"Look at my memory." Sun Lao patted his head and immediately told Ye Leng'an the mystery of the last question.

After listening to Sun Lao's words, the corners of Ye Leng'an's mouth couldn't help twitching. She didn't expect that this last question was actually a whim of Sun Lao. And she was the only one among all the candidates who answered.

"Ye Xiao, you are really talented in mathematics." When Sun Lao looked at Ye Leng'an, it was as if he had seen a rare treasure, "So, I came here today mainly to ask you something, I don't know if you are interested in being my student!" ”

Hearing this, Ye Leng'an hadn't said anything yet, but Zheng Anyang on the side became excited.

You must know that Sun Lao is not only a leading figure in the mathematics community in China, but also famous in the international mathematics community. If you can become his student, your achievements in the field of mathematics in the future will definitely not be low.

Now there are only two students in total, and both of them are now internationally renowned mathematicians. One of them even won a Fields Medal.

It's just that for so many years, Sun Lao has not accepted any more students. Unexpectedly, he actually fell in love with Ye Leng'an, this is really an unexpected surprise!

However, obviously, Ye Leng'an was not so excited, she was stunned for a moment after hearing Sun Lao's words, and then after reacting, she was silent for a moment before she spoke, "Sun Lao, thank you very much for your kindness." But, to be honest, I don't have that much passion for mathematics. Also, I don't plan to go this way in the future, so I'm sorry I can't promise you. ”

Sun Lao didn't expect Ye Leng'an to reject him directly like this, he hurriedly opened his mouth and persuaded him, "Ye Xiao, you may not know enough about yourself. Your talent in mathematics is really high, and after listening to your descriptions, I know that as long as you are willing to work hard in mathematics, your achievements in the future will definitely not be lower than mine. ”

It can be said that Ye Leng'an is the most talented student he has seen in so many years, so he is really unwilling to give up such a good seedling easily.

Zheng Anyang on the side was also very anxious, he could see that this was definitely a good opportunity for Ye Leng'an.

Therefore, he also helped persuade on the side, "Ye Leng'an, Elder Sun is right, since you have such a talent, it really shouldn't be wasted." As for hobbies and whatever, they can be cultivated! ”

After listening to the words of the two, Ye Leng'an's decision still did not change, and his attitude was very resolute, "Elder Sun, Principal Zheng, I know what you mean, but I really don't plan to continue my studies in mathematics." I've got a clear direction, so I'm sorry. ”

Seeing Ye Leng'an's resolute attitude, Sun Lao was a little disappointed, but he didn't make it difficult for others, but asked, "That little classmate, I don't know if it's inconvenient for you to say, what major do you plan to study in the future?" ”

"Chinese medicine!" Ye Leng'an's tone was firm, "Over the years, Western medicine has been the mainstream in medicine. However, I think that our Chinese medicine is no worse than Western medicine. The things left by our ancestors are definitely much better than those foreign things. ”

"Many incurable diseases that cannot be solved by Western medicine still need to be solved by traditional Chinese medicine in the end! I just want the world to see that our Chinese things are definitely no worse than those of foreign countries. ”

"Well said." Hearing Ye Leng'an's words, Sun Lao felt that his blood was boiling a little, and he looked at Ye Leng'an's eyes more and more appreciatively, "Ye Xiao's classmates have such lofty ambitions, it's really admirable!" It's a shame that you're talented in mathematics, but if it's your choice, then I respect it. ”

The persuasion was fruitless, although it was a little regrettable, but Sun Lao was not a stubborn person, and he quickly got up and said goodbye.

However, before leaving, he looked at Ye Leng'an and said, "Ye Xiao, I hope to see you at Imperial Capital University in two and a half years." I'm sure you can definitely get into our school. ”

After hearing Elder Sun's words, the corners of Ye Leng'an's mouth hooked up a meaningful smile, and he said, "Don't worry, Elder Sun, maybe you will see me again soon." ”

Sun Lao was a little confused, but he didn't continue to ask.

After Elder Sun left, only Zheng Anyang and Ye Leng'an were left in the principal's room.

Zheng Anyang looked at Ye Leng'an, smiled and teased, "Ye Leng'an, you came to me early this morning, did you come to me to fulfill your promise?" ”

"yes!" Ye Leng'an didn't hide anything, and said bluntly, "Principal, you promised me before, as long as I won the first place in the Olympiad competition, then you will agree to one of my requests." You shouldn't regret it! ”

"Definitely not." Zheng Anyang patted his chest with a swear, and said, "What kind of requirements do you have, just say it!" I would definitely say yes. ”

Ye Leng'an nodded, and then spoke, "Headmaster, in fact, my request is also very simple. I want to skip a grade to my senior year of high school. ”

"Isn't it just asking for leave! How many days do you ......"

At the same time that Ye Leng'an spoke, Zheng Anyang spoke directly, but when he heard Ye Leng'an's words clearly, his whole person almost jumped up, "What? What did you just say? You say you're going to skip a grade? ”

He didn't expect that Ye Leng'an would make such a request. Originally, he thought that Ye Leng'an's so-called request was just to ask for leave. He even had a leave slip ready. However, now such a bomb was suddenly thrown at him, and he almost couldn't react.

"yes!" Ye Leng'an nodded, and then looked at Zheng Anyang with a smile, "Headmaster, don't forget, you promised me." A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase. You can't go back! ”

"No, I thought you were just going to take a leave of absence." Zheng Anyang couldn't help but have a headache, "Ye Leng'an, didn't you say that you plan to enjoy these three years of high school life and don't plan to take the college entrance examination in advance?" Why did you suddenly decide to skip a grade now! ”

He had already planned that in the next two and a half years, he would push Ye Leng'an out to participate in those competitions. He knew very well that Ye Leng'an was not only good at mathematics, but also in other subjects.

However, now Ye Leng'an suddenly made such a request. If you really skip a grade directly to the third year of high school, then the next full score will not be enough for a semester.

"Originally, I had plans to do so. However, later, I found out that whether or not I was in high school didn't seem to have a particularly big impact on me. Ye Leng'an continued to speak, "So, I think I can actually go directly to the college entrance examination and start college life early." ”

"Thisβ€”" Zheng Anyang's face was a little embarrassed.

He didn't expect that Ye Leng'an would suddenly make such a request, and for a while, he really didn't know what to do. Moreover, now that school has started, I am afraid that such a hasty transfer to the third year of high school will affect other students.

"Headmaster, you promised me!" Ye Leng'an opened his mouth and reminded, "You must not go back on your word, otherwise, I don't know if I can do what I promised you in the future!" ”

Hearing Ye Leng'an's threatening words, Zheng Anyang's forehead was almost marked with a few black lines, "You are all here to make trouble for me." Do you really think that skipping a grade is so easy to jump? If it were that easy to arrange, I wouldn't have to think about it here. ”

"Just find a random class and insert me in!" Ye Leng'an said casually, "I don't care which class I'm in. ”

Because for her, it is impossible for her to go to class obediently in any class. So, it doesn't matter to her in any class.

Zheng Anyang shook his head and continued to speak, "If there is really such a good arrangement, then I don't have to worry about it like this." ”

"Now the grades of every class in the third year of high school are almost fixed. Those students and teachers all followed in their first year of high school. If your studies are average, it doesn't make much difference in any class. However, your achievements are obvious to all. Before, you used to do the exam paper for your third year of high school with me. Judging from your exam papers, your college entrance examination results are not bad. ”

"You must know that the bonuses of those teachers in the third year of high school are linked to the results of the college entrance examination. Now which class I give you to is unfair to the other classes. ”

Although it is a little regrettable, Ye Leng'an plans to finish high school so early and cannot earn more honor for the school. However, he is not a stubborn person, and he will not hinder the development of students. Therefore, he is not opposed to Ye Leng'an skipping grades. It's just that which class to arrange is a difficult problem.

Now Ye Leng'an is already a celebrity in St. Ann's High School. I believe that as long as she says that she is going to skip a grade to the third year of high school, all the teachers in the third level of high school will rush to ask for her.

Ye Leng'an didn't expect this to be the reason, she thought about it for a while before she spoke, "Headmaster, do you think this will work?" I still continue to be in Class F of the first year of high school, and then when it is time for the college entrance examination, you will help me sign up as a senior high school student, can you? As for if I do well in the exam, it will be counted as the teacher in Class F. ”

After all, the teachers in other classes didn't want her at the beginning, and only the homeroom teacher of class F was willing to accept her. Now it doesn't seem good if she suddenly leaves like this.

After hearing Ye Leng'an's proposal, Zheng Anyang thought for a moment, and finally nodded, "Only your method seems to be the best." Since you've decided so, do as you say! ”

"Thank you, Headmaster." After getting permission, Ye Leng'an's smile became brighter and brighter, and the kind words in his mouth came out as if he didn't want money, "Principal, you really understand the righteousness, and you are still true to your word." I know that as long as you agree, you will not regret it. ”

I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Originally, she thought that the principal would persuade her hard, but she didn't expect that the other party would quickly agree to her.

"Don't put a high hat on me here." Zheng Anyang glanced at Ye Leng'an angrily, "Originally, I had already thought about it, and I would sign you up for those competitions in the next two and a half years." Now it's good, it's all in the soup. Let me tell you, in the past six months, if you need to participate in the competition, you can't refuse! ”

"Absolutely not." Ye Leng'an said with a smile, "As long as I am still a student of this school, it is also my responsibility to win glory for the school!" How could I refuse! Moreover, principal, you understand the righteousness so well, I should repay you even more! ”

Listening to the nice words in Ye Leng'an's mouth, Zheng Anyang didn't believe a word, "Your words are just coaxing me." ”

"How so!" Ye Leng'an looked at Zheng Anyang and continued to smile and said, "Principal, although I have lost two years of time to win glory for the school, I can come back with a top score in the college entrance examination!" Won't it be more face-saving than these competitions? ”

When the top student in the college entrance examination said it, it was as if he was simply eating a meal.

However, although it is easy to say, as long as it is said, Ye Leng An Ji will definitely be able to do it. Moreover, she is still very confident in herself for winning the top spot in the college entrance examination.

After hearing Ye Leng'an's words, Zheng Anyang was a little excited, if he hadn't tried his best to control himself, maybe he would have jumped up at the moment, he looked at Ye Leng'an fixedly, and said, "What you said is true?" How sure are you that you can win the title of top student in the college entrance examination? ”

If the words come out of someone else's mouth, then he may have to weigh them again before he can decide whether to trust them or not. However, when these words came out of Ye Leng'an's mouth, he would not doubt them at all.

Because all along, as long as Ye Leng'an promised something, it will definitely come true. It's like this time in the Olympiad, she promised to win the first place. Now it's really the first place.

If this time, Ye Leng'an can really become the top student in the college entrance examination, it will definitely be a big surprise for their school. You must know that the competition in the college entrance examination is much more fierce than the Olympiad competition. That's the candidates from all over the country squeezing the single-plank bridge together! In the past ten years, their school has not produced the top student in the college entrance examination.

Hearing Zheng Anyang's question, Ye Lengan said confidently, "I am 100% sure that I can win the title of the top student in the college entrance examination." ”

It's not that she's not modest, but she's very confident in herself.

"Okay." Zheng Anyang nodded, "Then I'll let someone arrange it for you later, and get your school status and the like right." By June this year, you'll be able to take the college entrance examination with your senior high school students! ”

"Thank you, Headmaster." Ye Leng bowed his head and thanked him.

"Okay, if there's nothing going on, then you can go to class!" Zheng Anyang waved his hand and said, "Let your homeroom teacher and classmates know that you are still in this school." ”

Although this is a joke, there is also a certain amount of reality in it. Frequent leave requests like Ye Leng'an, and even a leave of absence is ten days and a half months. It's really not surprising that the head teacher and classmates have such thoughts.

After hearing Zheng Anyang's words, Ye Leng'an felt a little speechless, but she still obediently left the principal's office and planned to go back to her classroom.

It's just that she didn't expect that not long after leaving the principal's office, she hadn't returned to the classroom yet, and she met Ye Xiyuan on the way.

It seems that she and Ye Xiyuan are really destined! And it's also a bad fate.

She thought that she had nothing to say between herself and Ye Xiyuan, so she planned to bypass Ye Xiyuan directly and go back to the classroom.

It's just that I didn't expect that even when I saw her attitude, Ye Xiyuan still blocked her way, "Wait a minute, Ye Leng'an, don't leave yet." ”
