Chapter 49 I Like to Flatter

When Lang Jie brought the signed agreement back to the principal's office, it was only about six o'clock in the afternoon, which was the busiest time of the school. Seeing those energetic teenagers along the way made him feel much happier.

Of course, this may also be the reason why the signing went smoothly.

He really had a lot of confidence in Qiao Yu. Even without any special training, he could still solve all kinds of Olympiad questions with guaranteed quality. He didn't dare to imagine how good this little guy's competitive ability would be after a period of targeted training.

The reason why he has not taken any action yet is that, on the one hand, he is waiting for the results of the second mock exam to come out, and on the other hand, he is still preparing a large number of targeted questions for Qiao Yu that can broaden his mathematical thinking. This is a very interesting thing for him.

When he was doing math training for other children, he had to worry about their math level, fearing that the questions he gave were too difficult, which would undermine their confidence and interest in math. But Qiao Yu did not have such worries.

Therefore, he was happier and more pure about Qiao Yu's decision to stay in Tieyi Middle School than the principal.

After all, the principal was thinking from the perspective of political achievements, while Ranger was thinking purely from the perspective of a teacher.

……

When Lan Jie walked into the office, he handed the agreement in triplicate to Principal Zhang and said in an excited tone, "The agreement has been signed."

Principal Zhang took the agreement, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Teacher Lan, you have worked hard. But we can't let our guard down. I will emphasize to the teacher later that after the high school entrance examination, other students don't matter, but Qiao Yu must come to school to fill in the application form. You should also do more ideological work on Qiao Yu during this time."

"Don't worry, Principal Zhang. From what I've observed, Qiao Yu is a very trustworthy child." Lan Jie said.

In fact, he was a little nervous. He was mainly afraid that those private high school students would find out about Qiao Yu's situation and use money to attack him. Fortunately, in recent years, the Xingcheng Education Department has repeatedly prohibited the direct use of money to poach top students, which also made Lang Jie less worried.

Otherwise, like in previous years, before the higher authorities issued specific regulations, some schools spent a lot of money to recruit high-quality candidates, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars. He felt that Qiao Yu would probably not be able to resist such temptation. As for those so-called famous schools, Lan Jie was not too worried.

Firstly, most prestigious schools are very proud and generally won't spend money directly; secondly, Qiao Yusheng and Di's scores in the high school entrance examination have almost eliminated the possibility of getting into Class A high schools. Before they have enough results to prove themselves, it is unlikely that they will be taken seriously by those prestigious schools.

"Well, that's great! Don't worry, the school will definitely keep its word. As long as Qiao Yu can produce good results, the agreed reward will not be reduced by a single point. By the way, what is that empirical rule of statistics he just mentioned?" Zhang Tiejun asked curiously.

Lang Jie smiled bitterly and said, "Well... although statistics depends on mathematics, or is based on mathematics, those who specialize in mathematics don't study those things very much. The mathematics major in our school focuses more on the field of pure mathematics, and there are very few courses related to statistics. What Qiao Yu just mentioned might be the 68-95-99.7 rule, which mainly talks about normal distribution. I haven't studied it in more detail."

"Oh, this little guy knows quite a lot of things!" Zhang Tiejun sighed.

Lang Jie hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Well, we talked about this issue before. Qiao Yu's interest in mathematics comes from learning statistics well, hoping to find lottery loopholes and then exploit them."

This sentence silenced Principal Zhang. After a moment, he simply stood up and said, "Well, I'm getting more and more curious about this Qiao Yu. I'll treat you to dinner tonight and let's talk about this child."

……

At 9:30 in the evening, Xia Keke returned home after evening self-study and as soon as she opened the door, she saw not her grandma and grandpa, but her parents sitting on the sofa watching TV.

"Huh? Dad, Mom, you are both back today?" "Yes, we just happened to take a car this time. Keke, do you miss mom and dad?" Xia Keke's father Xia Hongliang stood up and answered lovingly.

Generally speaking, if a couple both work on a train, they will be assigned to different trains, but this is not always the case. Occasionally, a couple may be assigned to work on the same train due to staff leave or other reasons.

"Of course I have." Xia Keke put down her schoolbag, jumped over, hugged her father, and then sat between the two of them.

"Have you finished your homework?" asked Liu Lu, the mother next to her.

The man has only one daughter, so he naturally dotes on her very much. Therefore, as a mother, she has to be serious. Otherwise, with Xia Keke's temperament, she could really be lawless.

"I've finished writing! Didn't my grandma and grandpa tell you that my grades have improved a lot recently? I heard from my teacher that I improved one more place in the second mock exam and ranked 21st in the class! The teacher said that if I can keep performing stably in the high school entrance exam, I can get into the top four."

Xia Keke replied with her head tilted back.

After all, it is the Rocket Class in the third year of junior high school. Generally speaking, the top 30 in the class are no different from the top 30 in the grade.

Although teachers are now required not to directly announce the test scores and rankings to students, in order to encourage students who are making rapid progress, the head teacher will also privately reveal the specific ranking of a student. As long as it is not announced in full, there is no need to worry about the child telling others about it.

After hearing this, Xia Hongliang put his hand on his daughter's head: "That's great. How about this, what do you want to eat this weekend? Dad has three days off next, and I'll take you out for a big meal."

"No need, let's wait until after the exam. By the way, guess who will be the first in our grade in the second mock exam?" Xia Keke asked mysteriously.

They were both stunned at the same time, and looked at each other through their daughter. The father said, "You know we are busy with work, and we don't know all your classmates yet. I remember that at the last parents' meeting, your class teacher especially praised a classmate named Xu, saying that his grades have been quite stable..."

"Oh, now that I've asked this, you must all know this classmate and should be able to call him out by name!" Xia Keke said dissatisfiedly.

My mother thought for a moment and asked in a very uncertain tone, "Are you talking about Qiao Yu?"

"Qiao Yu?" Old Xia was a little surprised and glanced at his wife.

"Haha, mom is smart. She guessed it after just one hint. If you don't count biology and geography scores, Qiao Yu ranked first in the grade. He scored 567 points! He was transferred to our class by the school today. Our Chinese teacher even asked him to come to the podium to share his experience in doing reading comprehension questions!

Oh, and he got full marks in math, physics and chemistry this time, and full marks in Chinese composition, and he was deducted three points in Chinese because he didn’t write the paper carefully enough! How about that, isn’t it amazing? ! "

Old Xia felt a little sad when he saw his daughter's excited face, but the sadness was soon covered up by surprise.

That kid? He's number one in his grade?

"You don't believe it, do you? There's something even more exciting! Qiao Yu was spotted by our school's Olympiad coach, who asked him to represent the school in the Mathematical Olympiad! I tell you, if the admissions teachers from Huaqing or Yanbei University come here to snatch our students, don't be too surprised."
