Chapter 71 This is something that cannot be taught! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

Although Yu Yongjun acted familiar with both of them, it seemed that he was not used to staying in the same room with the teacher for too long.

After chatting with Qiao Yu for about seven or eight minutes, he suggested that Qiao Yu go with him to the third floor to find some people to play with.

After finding out that Yu Wei did not appear on the third floor yesterday, Qiao Yu politely declined.

Considering the potential economic benefits, he doesn't mind observing his competitors.

As for playing...

What's the fun of hanging out with a bunch of kids your own age? Not to mention they're all the same gender.

After all, he came to Xiaozhou to participate in the competition, not to make friends. If he had that much time, he might as well read a book in his room and conserve his energy.

……

"Why don't you go down with Yu Yongjun and get to know everyone?"

After the fat man left, Ranger couldn't help but ask.

The people teachers interact with the most are students. Ninety-nine percent of students prefer to be with their peers and resist being alone with teachers.

He was really surprised that Qiao Yu did not accept the other party's invitation.

Qiao Yu gave Lan Jie a strange look and said, "What's so familiar about him? The competition will end tomorrow, and everyone will go back to their own homes the day after tomorrow. There are 1.4 billion people in China, and it's unknown whether we can meet again next time. Besides, that arrogant guy doesn't want to play with him, so there's no chance for him to get to know his direct competitor."

Langjie was stunned, but when he thought about what the principal said to him that day, he felt it made sense.

This guy is really a cold person at heart.

"So you're working so hard for Xiaolibaba's bonus, right? Qiao Yu, there's one question I'd really like to know, which is when will you stop putting the pursuit of money first?"

Ranger asked suddenly.

Although there is nothing wrong with wanting to make money, Lang Jie still feels that he needs to help Qiao Yu establish a correct view of money and be able to look at money more objectively.

He didn't want Qiao Yu to miss some opportunities in the future because of his greed for money.

Qiao Yu looked at Lan Jie strangely, thought for a moment, and said, "Teacher Lan, when you were a child, no one urged your family to apply for the minimum living allowance every day, right?"

Langjie wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't open his mouth and just shook his head subconsciously.

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "That's it. We grew up differently. You may have never been short of money, as long as you have enough to spend. But it's different for me and my mother. Money is the foundation of life."

"I don't mean that money is not important..." Ranjie wanted to explain.

But Qiao Yu interrupted directly: "I understand, Teacher Lan. But if we don't have money, the kind people downstairs might give us two steamed buns for every meal, but no one will even tolerate someone serving us two bowls of fresh abalone for every meal, don't you think?"

Qiao Yu said this in a joking tone, which surprised Lang Jie.

It's not enough for a fifteen-year-old child to have a talent for mathematics, but a few casual remarks can also point to some of the purest and most essential things in society.

How are such children educated?
He is over 30 years old and can't even think of such words.

Then the room fell silent.

Lan Jie tilted his head, and Qiao Xi's face involuntarily appeared in his mind. Could it be that this woman taught him all this?
It’s not appropriate to let the child know these things when he is so young!

So how should we educate people?

The good teacher with a strong sense of responsibility fell into deep thought.

Qiao Yu put on his earphones and watched the video.

At this time, it is no use to practice questions. It is better to learn more knowledge and broaden your knowledge.

Just like that, Qiao Yu finished reading the knowledge points explained by a professor, turned his head to look at the bed next to him, and found that the good old man was still there in a daze, and seemed a little depressed, which he found a little strange...

"Ahem, that teacher Lan..."

"Ah?" After coming back to his senses, Langjie turned his head and looked at Qiao Yu.

"Don't worry. I'm not a greedy person. At least I have a bottom line. I will never do anything illegal or criminal. To be honest, I went to the library to read the latest criminal code, including the latest amendments. I have a general understanding of the contents related to economic crimes. I will never touch the minefield!"

Qiao Yu tried to persuade the good guy to put his heart at ease, but hearing this made Lang Jie even more frightened.

He always felt that when a guy like Qiao Yu studied a certain code, it would often promote the progress of related legislation. If it was just to force the code to be amended, it would be fine, but when it comes to laws, how to understand and interpret them, the relevant workers have a certain degree of discretion...

So he quickly said, "There's nothing wrong with making money, but don't base it on the law. You can set higher standards for yourself and base it on morality."

"That's even more of a problem. You also know that I scored 57 points in Morality and the Rule of Law, haha..." Qiao Yu found another opportunity to emphasize it and laughed happily.

However, seeing the serious expression on the good old man's face, Qiao Yu finally stopped laughing and became serious.

"Okay, I know that sometimes my actions are excessive, but there's nothing I can do about it, Teacher Lan. I'm not greedy for money, but people always need a sense of security, right? My mother's attention is easily distracted, and she can hardly work to earn money. We can't really live on the minimum living allowance, can we?
So if there is a time when I will no longer put making money as my top priority, it will probably be when our savings can provide me and my mother with enough sense of security." Qiao Yu answered seriously.

His willingness to answer this question represented his recognition of Ranger.

If someone else were to ask him this kind of question, Qiao Yu would probably not even answer. If pressed to the limit, he would at most reply, "It's none of your business."

The main reason is that Qiao Yu feels that the purely good people in this world are worth cherishing. After all, he has come into contact with so many people since he was a child, and there are not many such purely good people.

Others are mostly nice people in words, and their most commendable contribution is their generosity towards others.

But Ranger is different. He is really willing to give his share, and he does it sincerely. He doesn't seek fame or profit, and he won't say that everywhere.

He even cared about the two stupid students who only had steamed buns for dinner. He even directly gave out 200 yuan, and he didn't know that Lu Jia and Ma Yufei hadn't returned it yet. Qiao Yu felt that with Teacher Yi Lan's personality, she probably didn't remember this.

Just when I was thinking about whether I should remind the good guy and help him recover some of his losses, Ranjie suddenly said, "Don't look at those things, why don't we chat."

Such a formal request made Qiao Yu feel a little uncomfortable. After hesitating for a while, he asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

"Just talk about anything, your happiest things, your family, some of your ideas. If you want, you can also talk about your father." Ranger said frankly and boldly.

To put it bluntly, now Ranger feels that all the problems are caused by this man.

If he had a complete family, Qiao Yu would definitely not be like this. He could not blame a child who had to support a family without a father. Looking back, the overall lack of fatherly love and lack of security seemed normal.

"My biological father..."

Qiao Yu thought for a moment, then casually said, "He went abroad before I was born. We haven't been in touch for so many years. I don't know if he's dead or not. I don't know where to start. But my mom said that he had pretty good grades back then. He scored 117 on the TOEFL and was awarded an international student scholarship at the school across the street."

Langjie was stunned. It turned out that nothing was better than good genes.

Qiao Yu is fifteen years old this year, which means that his biological father went abroad around 2009. Although English was already popular at that time, most of the good foreign teachers were concentrated in big cities like Yanbei and Linhai.

The TOEFL score consists of 30 points each for reading, listening, speaking and writing. A score of 117 means that Qiao Yu's father's English ability is close to that of a native speaker. If we put aside some cultural details and differences in understanding, it is no exaggeration to say that his English level is even higher than that of many undergraduates in the native language country.

At least in terms of reading literature and academic exchanges, they must be far superior to many native English-speaking college students.

Ranger knew this because he actually took the TOEFL and only scored 87.

It was not for the purpose of studying abroad, but when he took the postgraduate entrance examination of the university, if he had TOEFL or IELTS academic scores, he would have had an advantage. This was directly written into the postgraduate admission regulations of Shuangdan University.

He even remembered that the school's requirement at that time was a TOEFL score of no less than 75 points, or an IELTS academic score of no less than 6 points. He chose to take the TOEFL because the IELTS academic test was more difficult.

Lan Jie couldn't imagine what kind of person could get a TOEFL score of 117. Not to mention that according to Qiao Yu, his father should have just graduated from high school at that time, and he was still in a second-tier city like Xingcheng.

Yes, although many people are now speculating on the concept of new first-tier or quasi-first-tier cities, back in 09, Xingcheng definitely did not meet the standards of a first-tier city.

Both father and son are so fucking amazing!
By the way, that mother is no pushover either.

Anyone who can learn several languages ​​by himself even when he cannot control his attention must have a high IQ.

A family of three, all against the will of heaven!

"So you actually hate him in your heart, right?" Suppressing the envy in his heart, Ranger asked again.

"I don't hate him that much, but I do hope he'll be in trouble. I'd be happy if I knew he wasn't doing well. It's a pity I don't know where he is or whether he's doing well. But as an extreme egoist like him, I guess he's not doing too badly.

Isn't this how the world is? People who can't bear to be wronged often don't suffer any loss. It's true that those who are reasonable prefer reasonable people, but that's because reasonable people are often willing to make concessions. Good people will be rewarded only in the future; being shameless and being able to cash in immediately is living in the present. "

Qiao Yu also replied calmly.

This surprised Ranger a little. He thought that the child would lose his composure when talking about his father.

Obviously, he was overthinking it again.

Shaking his head slightly, Lang Jie simply followed Qiao Yu's words and said, "Look, if you put it this way, you don't like extreme egoists in your heart, so no matter what, you shouldn't be like him, right?"

Qiao Yu immediately retorted: "No, no, no, Mr. Lan, I am fundamentally different from him. I have a great mission on my shoulders, I have to support my family! The family is the smallest unit of society. If the family is in turmoil, it will affect the society.

So the bad things he did were serious damage to the stability of the family and should be targeted by the dictatorship. My initial goal was to ensure the stability of the family structure, which was a contribution to society. This was all taught in the Taoism class.

In fact, I also know that my biggest shortcoming at the moment is that I am blinded by the immediate benefits and forget the greater good. So in order to overcome this shortcoming, I will definitely work hard to make more money. As long as I can make my family stable, I can overcome this shortcoming. "

Langjie didn't want to argue with Qiao Yu at all.

It was clearly sophistry, but they were able to find legal basis for it, leaving even a high school math teacher speechless.

This guy even had a clear understanding of his own shortcomings and offered a solution. A serious sense of frustration came over me.

So not only could he not teach Qiao Yu anything about mathematics, he couldn't even teach him anything about educating people...

It feels weird that he has graduated and worked for so many years, but he still doesn't have a thorough understanding of society as a junior high school student. How can we talk about this?
Simply weak burst.

After holding it in for a long while, Langjie finally said, "Forget it, just look at your stuff."

Qiao Yu asked in surprise: "Not chatting anymore?"

Langjie sighed in his heart and said, "Well, I'm tired. I don't want to talk anymore."

Qiao Yu was silent for a moment, and then he spoke to comfort her: "It's okay, Teacher Lan, don't belittle yourself. In fact, you are more suitable for teaching by example. I think that after staying with you for a long time, the villains may become good people. Um... well, it's not easy for you to accompany me when you are old, so rest early if you are tired."

Langjie glanced at Qiao Yu and trembled his lips. For a moment, he was so moved that he wanted to cry.

So this kid can see his purpose clearly, right?

This guy actually comforted him and praised him?

Suddenly, Langjie was not worried about Qiao Yu at all. With such eloquence and ability, even if he had no talent in mathematics, he would be successful as a success mentor in the future!
Let him be, at least this kid can still score 57 points in Morality and Rule of Law!
"By the way, Teacher Lan, do you snore?" Qiao Yu suddenly asked again.

"Ah? This... we shouldn't fight, right?" Ranger answered uncertainly.

When a person lives alone for a long time, he really doesn't know whether he snores when he falls asleep.

"Forget it, I'll go to bed early today and let's rest together. My grandpa used to snore when he slept, and if he fell asleep first at home, I wouldn't be able to sleep." Qiao Yu explained.

"Well, take a rest!"

……

The next day, the guesthouse did provide thoughtful wake-up service.

However, Qiao Yu got up from bed early, jogged downstairs, returned to the room to take a shower, and then gathered with everyone to have breakfast.

During breakfast, Qiao Yu discovered that there were quite a lot of middle school students invited to Xiaohu University to participate in the finals, more than twenty in total.

Of course, this does not mean that only more than 20 middle school students entered the finals this time.

After all, coming to the headquarters to participate in the finals is only by invitation, not mandatory.

If you have other things to do or it is inconvenient for you to come, you can take the exam at home.

It is nothing more than accepting strict online proctoring.

Breakfast is served buffet style.

Seeing that Qiao Yu and Lang Jie didn't communicate much with other people, the enthusiastic little fat boy sat over again.

"By the way, who is this Yu Wei you mentioned yesterday?"

As soon as Yu Yongjun sat down, Qiao Yu asked a question.

The sturdy little fat boy blinked, then looked around and finally stopped at a corner diagonally opposite Qiao Yu.

"In the corner to your left, the guy with black-framed glasses and a white T-shirt, eating alone at a small table."

Qiao Yu glanced back and quickly found the target.

Sure enough, he looked like a very serious guy, and he had an expression that said "no strangers allowed" when he was eating.

"Did he come alone?" Qiao Yu asked.

"No, he was also brought by a teacher. Look, there are a few teachers gathered at the door eating together. His teacher is also there. But I think Linhai is so close to Xiaozhou, if it were me, I would definitely come alone." Yu Yongjun said with disdain.

It can be seen that this little fat guy really doesn't like Yu Wei.

Ranger ignored the child's emotions and looked at the table where the teachers were sitting. Well, there were no familiar faces.

He doesn't have any social phobia problems.

However, the other person had arrived a day earlier than him and they had already communicated, so they were naturally more familiar with each other. Without a good opportunity, he was too lazy to force his way in.

The main reason is that I feel a little guilty.

Compared with the teachers of these schools, Xingtie No. 1 Middle School is really not that famous.

Every year, there are statistical agencies that clearly count the number of students from all high schools in the country who are admitted to Tsinghua and Peking University. Most of the schools that can consistently rank in the top 100 are definitely famous schools.

This time, except for Xingtie No. 1 Middle School, most of the schools where the other teachers led the team belonged to this category. Some of them were even able to consistently rank in the top 20.

Probably only the four famous schools in Xingcheng can compete with them.

Xingtie No. 1 Middle School is one of those schools that has never appeared on the list.

Of course, this is only a secondary reason.

The key point is that these children are all taught by these teachers.

Qiao Yu was different. He was self-taught, so his entry into the finals had little to do with him. He was just a temporary guardian.

Everyone has a different positioning, so there is nothing much to talk about.

It’s more interesting to listen to the students around me chatting.

……

"Oh, I think he does seem to be quite capable. I guess he's determined to win the gold medal." Qiao Yu said casually.

Who knew that this ordinary sentence made the fat guy on the other side stunned, and he hesitated for a long time before he said: "Actually, Yu Wei didn't say that he must win the gold medal or anything, he just said that he hopes you will also choose the number theory track, and then he can beat you. He didn't say anything, and we are honest people, so we can't blame others for it, right?"

Yu Yongjun's words made Qiao Yu react immediately, and he said, "No, that...oh..."

As soon as he said these few words, Qiao Yu immediately realized that something was wrong.

It seems like these little brats came to the finals without ever thinking of winning a medal, right?
He was totally off topic yesterday.

But then again, there are more than 800 people entering the finals this time.

Moreover, most of them are students from famous universities, and there is a good and bad mix, and there may even be a PhD or something.

It is indeed outrageous for a group of junior high school students to set their goal on winning the gold medal.

After all, these peers are different from him, and they don’t even have to win the gold medal.

So Qiao Yu laughed out loud: "I was just joking, are you taking it seriously?"

Yu Yongjun scratched his head and laughed, "That's right. Our teacher Qu told me that he brought me here to see the world and there's no need to feel any psychological pressure. It's a great performance to be able to enter the finals. As long as I can answer one or two questions correctly in the finals, I'll win.

Besides, we have never had a high school student win a medal in the past! Not to mention a gold medal! That is usually monopolized by famous schools like Yanbei University. If we can win an Excellence Award, we can brag about it for a whole year."

As expected, none of them have great ambitions...

Qiao Yu turned his head and glanced at Lang Jie beside him.

I found that although my teacher looked calm, his mouth twitched when he ate the dumplings. I thought his performance was not good, so I said generously: "You can't say that. A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. You still have to have dreams. What if we perform well this year and can do all the questions?"

"No, sir, don't you know? The professor who set the questions said that the difficulty of the final exam questions they designed is directly comparable to the world's top mathematics doctoral qualification exams. Are we little Karami risking our lives to do that?

If we really have this level, we can directly apply for a PhD in mathematics at Harvard, MIT, or Princeton! In fact, I think that organizing us to take the exam together is to let those of the same age compete with each other.”

Yu Yongjun explained patiently, and glanced at Lan Jie who was sitting opposite Qiao Yu without saying a word.

The look in his eyes seemed to be blaming the teacher for not telling the students such important information.

"Not really, not really. Just do your best. Let's eat quickly, otherwise it will affect the competition." Qiao Yu decided to end the conversation.

To be honest, Qiao Yu is very confident now.

No matter how difficult the questions in the competition are, they can't be more difficult than the equation he solved, right?
If all the questions were of that difficulty and he was only given eight hours, he would just give in!

However, what Qiao Yu could never have imagined was that Professor Xue, who had asked the question in the forum, was one of the specially invited marking experts for this competition and was also having breakfast in this building at this time, just not on the same floor as them.

After dinner, some people went back to their rooms for a short rest, but most people waited in the lobby of the guesthouse.

At 8:30, the staff gathered everyone on time and then we went to the examination venue together.

After explaining the exam rules again, each person was assigned a computer for the exam. What made Qiao Yu most satisfied was that all the seats were partitioned to ensure that the exam process would not be affected in any way.

perfect!
