Chapter 4 There is always a solution in this world!

Ranger took a deep breath. The high school math teacher was very sensitive to numbers.

Junior high school students are usually 15 or 16 years old, and his mother is only 34 years old. In other words, when Qiao Yu's mother had Qiao Yu, she was probably just an adult and certainly not yet of legal marriage age. Even if it happened more than ten years ago, this incident was enough to make him explode, so explosive that he didn't know how to comment on it.

No wonder Teacher Yuan looked so mysterious and gossipy just now.

"Then..." Ranjie didn't know what to say.

"But I don't think his family is in financial difficulty. I was supposed to visit his home in the first year of junior high school, but because of that incident, I delayed it. Then it was postponed to the second year of junior high school. At that time, I was already Qiao Yu's class teacher. I saw wine bottles everywhere in his house, and they were neatly arranged.

So Qiao Yu's mother must like to drink. I even suspect that she is an alcoholic, and she only drinks high-end beer. And it was almost time for dinner that day, and I saw the takeaway they ordered. There were a few dishes, and it cost several hundred yuan, so it was definitely not that the family was in financial difficulty.

But it's also quite pitiful. Qiao Yu has never had a father, and naturally no grandparents. His grandparents died when he was very young, and his mother rarely visited relatives and friends, so the two of them lived like this, relying on each other. Alas..."

A long sigh almost made Ranger feel depressed.

"Okay, I roughly understand the situation. Thank you, Teacher Yuan."

"Well, I'm really sorry to bother you this time, Teacher Lan. Don't worry, I will give Qiao Yu a good education after I take him away."

"No need. Since he doesn't have evening self-study anyway, let him stay here for a while."

"Ah?" Teacher Yuan was obviously stunned.

High school math teachers are very busy, not to mention that Lan Jie is the head of the math teaching and research group in the high school department. She really couldn't understand why Lan Jie wanted to waste his time on a recognized poor student like Qiao Yu.

"This……"

Seeing teacher Yuan Yuan's extremely confused look, Ranger decided to help her solve the problem.

Given the talent for gossip that Teacher Yuan had just demonstrated, he was afraid that he might not be able to explain it clearly and there might be some misunderstanding.

So he said seriously, "I'm not sure about Qiao Yu's performance in other subjects, but I'm sure his math performance is very good, at least at the level of a competition student."

Langjie could see that there was a deep confusion in Teacher Yuan's eyes at this moment. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

So he simply added, "Let me put it this way. If we can get him a spot in the Mathematical Olympiad this year, I'm not sure if he can be selected to represent China in international competitions, but he will definitely win a national gold medal. Um, I mean the High School Mathematical Olympiad."

"What? Mathematical Olympiad? National gold medal? Um, Mr. Lan, I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding?"

"I don't know if Qiao Yu has any unspeakable secrets that made him deliberately hide his achievements, but there is no doubt about this." After saying that, Ranger roughly explained what he saw today.

This is the most realistic situation, without any exaggeration, but judging from Teacher Yuan's expression, it is like hearing a myth.

"You mean you gave the kids in the Olympiad class a modified version of a real math Olympiad question today, and they didn't know how to do it, so they went to the Internet cafe to find Qiao Yu from our class, and then Qiao Yu solved the problem while playing games and listening to the question?"

The two looked at each other and Lan Jie nodded silently. "Wait, Teacher Lan, it seems that no student in our school has ever won a gold medal in the national Mathematical Olympiad, right? It seems that two years ago or the year before last, a student won a bronze medal, and the school even held a celebration ceremony?" After being stunned for a while, Yuan Yuan immediately asked after reacting.

Langjie nodded silently again.

Actually, this cannot be blamed on the teachers' incompetence, but mainly because of the special education system in Xingcheng. Almost all high-quality students are completely monopolized by the four famous high schools: Luya, No. 1 Middle School, Normal University Affiliated High School and Changjun High School. Ordinary high schools can only pick the tallest among the short ones.

The year before last, students from the Normal University Affiliated High School and the year before that from Luya Middle School were selected for the national team and won gold medals on behalf of China in the International Mathematical Olympiad. Moreover, China has been the champion for two consecutive IMOs. This shows how strong Xingcheng's high school education is.

But Railway No. 1 Middle School is just an ordinary middle school. The fact that it can train a student who can enter the national competition and win the bronze medal is enough to show Ranger's ability.

"Oh, what should we do? The high school entrance exam is next month. Even if Qiao Yu's math scores are good, his overall score will definitely not pass the standard for general high schools. I remember that the national math competition is usually held in November, right?"

“Yes, this year’s provincial league will be held on September 9th, and the final will be on November 8nd.”

At this point in time... I can only say it's so embarrassing!
The high school entrance exam for Xingcheng this year is from June 6th to 18th. In other words, Qiao Yu can officially bid farewell to Tieyi Middle School after the 20th.

As their eyes met, Teacher Yuan understood what Ranjie was thinking from the almost fiery look in his eyes.

"Um... Mr. Lan, do you want him to take a year off?"

"Yes! Take a year off from school and win a national gold medal in the junior high school Olympiad. Then you can go to university in the future. Qiao Yu can participate in two or three more competitions at his age. But this requires his cooperation. I will talk to him later."

"Do you need me to help you persuade him?" Teacher Yuan asked.

Lang Jie hesitated for a moment and shook his head, but he didn't say anything final: "I'll talk to him first and find out what he thinks. If there is any need, I might really need to trouble you."

"Okay, I'll go back first. I have to go to class eight for evening study today. Oh... this kid, I really can't see it."

Teacher Yuan left tactfully. Lan Jie did not rush into the office, but took out his cell phone and called a colleague: "Hello, Teacher Zhou, it's like this, I have something urgent to do here, can you help me with the evening self-study tonight? Oh, yes, for the students in Class 2, just let them do the papers distributed today.

One and a half hours to do the test paper, and the other half hour to let them exchange and correct the questions, and then briefly explain the questions that they got most wrong. Thank you, and thank you, Mr. Zhou. "

After hanging up the phone, Lang Jie calmed down, opened the door and walked into the office, where he saw Qiao Yu sitting cross-legged on the desk next to him, scrolling through his phone with great interest and concentration.

The school doesn’t allow students to bring cell phones. How did this kid bring a cell phone to school?
Never mind. These are not important. He is not the dean of the junior high school.

"Cough cough..."

"Teacher Lan."

"I'll go with you to your house for a home visit."

"Home visit? You?" Qiao Yu looked up and down at this skinny old man who looked to be in his thirties with suspicion...
