Chapter 94: Reunion of Lost Friends
It feels very different to report with the main group. For example, you don’t have to negotiate by yourself. The leader will meet the staff who come to pick you up as soon as you leave the station.

Qiao Yu didn't come forward, so he didn't know the staff's last name, and whether Team Leader Luo had started to use homophonic puns like Lan Jie did. The car that came to pick them up was a bus, which could seat dozens of people and looked very impressive.

There was nothing much to say about the journey to Luhai Middle School.

The most important thing for these campers on the first day is to report.

After checking in at the hotel and completing the formalities, and settling in the room, you can move freely.

The rooms arranged by the host this time were very considerate, mainly equipped with three types of rooms, single rooms, double rooms and quad rooms. Single rooms are naturally prepared for some special guests and leaders of various provinces.

Qiao Yu was assigned to a double room, so naturally he assigned Ranger to the same room.

This also proves once again that there are still advantages in getting first place in the exam. In fact, this is the most convenient way of allocation.

Students who wanted to live in a double room but were not allocated one would at most think to themselves, “It’s not great that I did well in the exam?” and then the matter would be over.

Otherwise, even if someone is not satisfied with the result of the lottery, they might even murmur behind the scenes that the lottery is cheating, and then report it...

Instead, the rooms are arranged according to the competition results. Those who are in the front can live in double rooms, and those who are in the back can live in quadruple rooms. Even if you report it, you can use the excuse that it has always been like this. What? People with better results and higher hopes cannot enjoy better treatment?
If you want to sleep in a double room, try to be the first one next time.

In short, these little things put the rules on the surface, which is a protection for everyone.

Qiao Yu naturally had no objection to this.

After completing the registration, getting his camper card and being assigned a room, the two of them had just put their luggage away when Yu Yongjun followed them, following the smell.

"Hey, Qiao Yu, you are also in a double room! Am I the only one living in a four-person room? Hey, hello Teacher Lan, you are here too." As soon as he entered the room, the fat boy couldn't help but complain.

What Qiao Yu didn't expect was that Yu Wei also followed behind this guy, but his expression was still reluctant, as if he was forced by this guy.

Lan Jie was not surprised to see Yu Yongjun and Yu Wei.

It would be very strange if a student who won the first prize in the Xiaolibababa Mathematics Competition during the summer vacation of the third year of junior high school did not come to participate in CMO.

Especially since Yu Wei was always accompanied by a full-time coach who was a gold medalist in the Olympic circle.

I guess this guy also aims to participate in IMO, but this is also normal.

Linhai has been a unique presence in the math competition circle in recent years. The main reason is that it is too rich. Those well-known private schools really wave money to sign top coaches everywhere.

The key point is that they can really make money by poaching the gold medal coach.

Rich families are willing to invest in training students for math competitions and can even accept a five-digit cost for a lesson.

There are families who spend tens, millions, or even tens of millions of dollars on various training programs. At least, Langjie has heard that a well-known piano teacher in Linhai charges six figures for a two-hour one-on-one piano lesson, and even then he is willing to accept new customers only if they are introduced by acquaintances.

If classes were open for reservation, there would be so many that we wouldn’t be able to schedule them all.

The tuition fees for slightly better private middle schools start at 5 or 6 per semester, and the top ones can cost over per semester. As for the tuition fees of top international schools, ordinary people don't need to ask.

The worst private schools charge around 1 to 2 yuan per semester, and they are for the poor.

With this charging standard, it would be impossible to operate in an area with average economy.

Of course, these things are not something you can envy. After all, there are many great universities around Linhai. Not to mention the local Shuangdan University, Linhai Jiaotong University, Tonglin University, and the famous East China Five Tigers...

Let me put it this way, among the top three universities in China, apart from Huaqing and Yanbei, whose resources are too heavily tilted towards them and they cannot compete, the others that are qualified to be ranked third include at least eight in Linhai and its surrounding cities, and the other eight are mostly concentrated in Beijing.

Yes, there are at least sixteen universities in China ranked third, and I will not accept any rebuttal.

These powerful universities recruit more students from the local area, so students who compete in competitions are naturally more favored. Therefore, getting a second or third place in the province in Linhai is very different from getting a second or third place in the province in Xingnan.

With money, motivation and no shortage of students, the momentum for the development of the competition is naturally booming. In short, it is impossible not to accept it.

……

"Isn't it easy to stay in a double room?" Qiao Yu said casually.

"Huh? Brother Qiao, you have a way to do even this?" The little fat man was indeed interested.

"Nonsense, go to the hotel front desk and book a room yourself. Forget about a double room. Even if you book a presidential suite, people can only envy you for being so rich." Qiao Yu glanced at the fat man and said slowly.

It's been just over two months since I last saw him, and Yu Yongjun seems to have grown fatter.

Isn't it said that Shuangqing is a place with hills every day, so you can't gain weight at all? It seems that everything is fake, only money and genes are real.

A place with complex terrain, where one needs to climb up and down every day, will not prevent a person with a physique prone to obesity from getting fat, but will only turn a fat person into a fat person with thick legs.

Yu Wei, on the other hand, hasn't changed much, and is still as cold as before.

"Okay, Qiao Yu, you continue chatting with your two friends while I take a walk around the neighborhood. By the way, when it's time for dinner, let's go straight to the restaurant and eat." Lang Jie at the side greeted the three teenagers and simply left the room.

Three students were chatting, and he, an old man in his thirties, stayed in the room. The children felt uncomfortable chatting, and he also felt uncomfortable.

The weather in Ningshui City is pretty good today. The sun is out and it's neither too hot nor too cold. Why not go for a walk around the hotel? Speaking of which, this is also his first time in Ningshui.

……

"Huh... your teacher finally left. I thought he was going to keep watching you. But Qiao Yu... oh, by the way, why didn't you say a word after you followed me here? Hurry up and call the boss!"

As Lan Jie just went out, Yu Yongjun, who had been whispering to Qiao Yu for several words, seemed to have just realized that there was someone following him. He immediately turned around and gave him a lecture with a serious face.

"What do you mean I followed you? You forced me to come here!" Yu Wei glared at Yu Yongjun and said coldly.

The fat boy leaned sideways, allowing Qiao Yu to take a closer look at Yu Wei.

Hey, this guy seems to be a little taller than I remembered, and he looks a little more handsome than before. Coupled with his cold and stern temperament and the character of a rich second-generation, Qiao Yu suddenly felt that this guy was a bit like the male protagonist in a romance novel.

I felt a little unhappy. "You two stop talking nonsense, sit down, why are you standing there!" Qiao Yu sat down on his bed and pointed at the two chairs next to the round table by the window.

After both of them sat down, Qiao Yu looked at Yu Wei with much more favor.

No, if he sits down he looks shorter, doesn't that mean this guy has quite long legs?

This world is so unfair. Not only are some people rich, they also have really good genes!
So Qiao Yu couldn't help but ask, "Um, Yu Wei, did you use the experience I shared with you last time to help you improve your math talent by leaps and bounds?"

Yu Wei suddenly became angry and said, "Qiao Yu, are you poisonous? Do I look like a fool?"

Yu Yongjun looked at the two of them in confusion and asked curiously, "What? Is there a way to improve math talent? What experience, big brother, why didn't you share it with me?"

Qiao Yu rolled his eyes at the fat man and said, "You're not stupid!"

Yu Wei was very angry. He stared at Qiao Yu and his breathing became heavier.

However, Qiao Yu felt that this was a good thing. Once a person gets angry, he cannot remain calm and immediately loses that cool temperament.

Look, what's wrong with being a rich second generation? When you get emotional, you will fall into the mortal world.

Yu Yongjun blinked, smiled, and patted Yu Wei's shoulder carelessly: "Haha, Old Yu, the boss is teasing you, why are you taking it seriously? We have been dealing with each other in the group for such a long time, and you still don't know what the boss's personality is like? He just likes to tease you, and if he gets angry, you lose."

Qiao Yu clearly saw that when the fat man patted Yu Wei's shoulder, this guy obviously frowned, but in the end he just glared at the fat man and didn't say anything. His emotions were really much more stable.

I couldn't help but be surprised, so I asked, "Well, how come you two are so close all of a sudden? You two quarrel so much in the group every day, I thought you would fight offline!
Speaking of which, Yu Wei, you obey Yu Yongjun's orders. Did he beat you up in private this morning and make you submissive? If so, just blink your eyes. Now we can beat one of them and make him kneel down and beg for mercy."

Yu Wei glanced at Qiao Yu, curled his lips, and said calmly: "You think too much. He came to me and said that you are too arrogant and we should set up an anti-Qiao... woo..."

“Fuck…Brother Qiao, God Qiao, he’s talking nonsense…” Before Yu Wei could finish his words, the fat man covered his mouth in a hurry.

"I'm telling you, don't do anything, otherwise Yu Wei will bite you, and I'll do something too. You have no chance of winning if it's two against one." Qiao Yu stood up and said while holding back his laughter.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck…” Yu Yongjun shouted three times in a row, but still let go of his hand in grievance, and then the two men began to glare at each other.

Qiao Yu was satisfied; this was the effect he liked.

"Yes, let's just have a good chat and don't make any noises. Come on, Yu Wei, you continue talking. Yu Yongjun, you better hurry up and think about how you're going to argue later." Qiao Yu said happily.

Yu Wei glared at Yu Yongjun fiercely and said, "It's to form an alliance to overthrow Qiao. The reason he asked me to come to you is to observe your weaknesses together and then defeat you. In short, we can't let you take all the limelight by yourself!"

Qiao Yu subconsciously raised his hand and scratched his head. Although this reason was childish, he was still quite curious and asked, "Well, how do you observe the weakness and then take advantage of it? Fatty Yu, you didn't prepare some laxatives or something, and planned to put them in my cup when I wasn't paying attention, right?"

After hearing this, Yu Wei suddenly realized that the other two guys in the room were extremely evil-hearted. Such dirty tricks had never occurred to him at all.

But he still snorted coldly and said, "Heh... He doesn't have such a bad heart. He said he wanted to study your other hobbies. For example, if you like reading novels, we will buy you a few novels that you can't stop reading. It would be best if you can read them all night long. When the teacher is asleep at night, you can still read them secretly under the covers. In short, we will cater to your interests."

Qiao Yu looked at the melancholy-faced little fat boy with admiration. This guy is truly a talented person.

We are all freshmen in high school, so why is this guy so outstanding?
So I asked Yu Yongjun out of curiosity: "Well, Fatty Yu, what if you find out that I like pretty girls?"

Everyone was ready to overthrow Qiao, so Qiao Yu thought it was reasonable to call him fat.

"Haha...Boss, oh, no, it's Brother Qiao, please listen to my explanation first, ah, no, it's my explanation..."

"No, tell me first what you are going to do if you find out that I like beautiful girls?" Qiao Yu insisted.

"Ahem, well, you can let Yu Wei wear women's clothes. Based on my years of experience in observing UP hosts who wear women's clothes, if Yu Wei puts on some light makeup and changes into women's clothes, he will definitely have the potential to become a super wrench. He will definitely be able to charm you and make you crazy...hahaha..." Yu Yongjun said with a laugh.

Well, just by looking at Yu Wei's murderous eyes, Qiao Yu knew that this temporary anti-Qiao alliance was completely disbanded.

"I say, you two are really enough. You are already in high school, how can you still be so childish! And you are observing my weaknesses up close! What is it that has prevented you from observing my weaknesses until now? Is it that my personality is not obvious enough?

My weakness is money! Why make it so complicated? It's actually very easy to beat me in the math competition. Just throw money at me and it's done. I promise I'll let you do it! How about you pay me to do one or half a problem less in this national competition?"

Qiao Yu said this with great sorrow and seriousness.

Yu Wei rolled his eyes, then stood up and walked out of the room.

"Hey, why are you leaving? We haven't even discussed the price yet!" Qiao Yu shouted.

"Not interested! I'm afraid if I stay any longer, I'll be led astray by you two guys." Yu Wei turned his head and said seriously to Qiao Yu.

Then Yu Wei walked out the door firmly.

There were only two of us left, and it was a bit awkward.

"Um..." Yu Yongjun wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Qiao Yu: "The price will go up if you ask me questions next time. Two hundred yuan per question, no bargaining!"

"Ahem... Yu Wei, that kid..."

"Don't say that about Yu Wei!" Qiao Yu said seriously, "Compared to you, Yu Wei is the opponent who deserves the most respect!"

"Forehead……"

"When facing an opponent who deserves respect, you must defeat him ruthlessly! Crush all his pride! Well, do you think this declaration is childish?" Qiao Yu glanced at the fat man who was scheming.

"No, I'm just confident! That, I understand, Brother Qiao, you like to read Japanese comics, right? How about I go to the bookstore tomorrow afternoon and give you a set of Slam Dunk and King of the Sea, mainly to express my gratitude for helping me improve a lot during the summer vacation."

"Why waste that money? Why not just cash it in? Wait a minute, I'll search online to see how much these two sets of comics cost! I can't let you spend too much money, after all, physical bookstores are too expensive, and they're definitely cheaper online."

"Ah?! Brother Qiao, if you don't like it, I don't have to give it to you..."

"No, if you don't cash it, I will tell Yu Wei during dinner that you secretly asked me eight of the questions he asked in the group chat. I will humiliate you and you will never be able to hold your head up in front of Yu Wei again."

"Fuck!"
