Chapter 498 (Pitiful) Because I'm a Special Admission Student

Chen Luyang felt a chill run down his spine!
They only learned about these two centimeters this semester!
"Teacher, could you please take a look and draw out any formulas or other important points for me?"

Upon hearing this, Teacher Zhang's lips curled into a crooked smile.

There are many formulas.

Do you want 'essential formulas' or 'easy points'?

Chen Luyang exclaimed excitedly, "That's obviously a free point!"

"Oh," Teacher Zhang clapped her hands, making a crisp snap. "No."

"..."

The smile on Chen Luyang's face gradually froze.

Teacher Zhang said impartially, "If you want a share, go and learn it yourself!"

"I've been teaching my whole life, and I've never seen a student brazenly use skipping classes to demand a grade."

"Other students attend classes and review diligently, but I end up giving you practice questions instead."

Do you think this is fair to your classmates?

The words were quite ruthless.

Not only were they ruthless, but the criticism was also extremely strong!
The teachers nearby all turned around to watch the spectacle.

Even with Chen Luyang's thick skin, his ears were burning with embarrassment.

but……

In the past six months, how many rejections has he received!

His damn strong mental fortitude had been honed through repeated rejections.

He didn't care about being rejected by outsiders.

What does it matter if your own teacher rejects you!
"Teacher... I have indeed missed a lot of classes."

"But I don't want you to give me extra help."

"I'm mainly... afraid of embarrassing you."

Chen Luyang changed her approach and started playing the emotional card.

Teacher Zhang laughed: "What does it matter to me whether you're embarrassed or not?"

Chen Luyang said urgently, "It's related! It's extremely related!"

"I am your student!"

"If I don't do well on the test this time, and people find out that you were the one who taught me, won't that be dragging you down?"

"If this gets out, it will severely damage your reputation!"

Chen Luyang was still chattering away...
But as he spoke, his voice inexplicably grew softer and softer...

There's something strange about Teacher Zhang's expression!

"Are you done talking?" Teacher Zhang asked with a smile.

Chen Luyang was slightly taken aback, unsure of what he meant.

Then, Teacher Zhang slowly continued:
"Don't worry about that. I'm not concerned about these things."

Not only is he not worried,

Every single teacher in this room.

Every year during exams, who doesn't have a few sacrificial offerings?
If the whole class passed, that proves one thing.

They deliberately made the questions too easy!
Seeing that Chen Luyang wanted to say a few more words, Teacher Zhang raised her hand to interrupt him, rudely telling him to leave:

"Instead of wasting your time arguing with me, you should go back and read more books, especially the definite integrals in Chapter 7 and the differential equations in Chapter 10."

Um???!

Chen Luyang's eyes lit up instantly!
Is this a way of highlighting key points for myself?
He was about to express his gratitude when he heard Teacher Zhang add leisurely:
"I only said I'd let you see it, but I didn't say it would definitely be on the test."

"I understand, I understand!!!" Having achieved his goal, Chen Luyang quickly and tactfully got up to take his leave.

"Teacher, you're busy, so I won't bother you any longer."

As he left the office, he thoughtfully closed the door gently behind him.

Inside the door,

Chen Luyang had no idea what cruel problems these evil math teachers were working on.

outside the door,

Chen Luyang sighed, looking up at the sky.

His original goal was to get a few of the original questions!

However... the result is not bad at all.

"The definite integrals in Chapter Seven and the differential equations in Chapter Ten..."

Chen Luyang frowned, turned around and went downstairs.

……

to be frank,
Although Teacher Zhang outlined the key areas for Chen Luyang
However, given Chen Luyang's mathematical abilities, he absolutely could not understand definite integrals and differential equations on his own.

Fortunately, he's quite popular.
I'll ask Zheng Zhe today, and I'll talk to Sun Legen tomorrow.

The day after tomorrow, I'll buy the girls a bunch of candy and cookies and borrow their notes to copy.

With this almost commando-like learning pace, Chen Luyang finally managed to catch up on most of the courses.

Besides these, there is also good news and bad news.

The good news is:

Chen Luyang's project deliverables have passed the school's review and meet the requirement of "deliverables replacing course grades".

Not only are the courses "Introduction to Institutional Philosophy" and "Selected Readings in Contemporary Western Philosophy" exempted from examinations.

For the final papers in the courses "Industrial Organization" and "Technological Economics", project reports are also allowed, and the grades will be skewed accordingly.

In addition, the Department of Economics is working to help him apply for the title of "Outstanding College Student in Scientific and Technological Practice" at the municipal level.

But the bad news is:

If he fails his final exams, he will not only be disqualified from being considered for the "Three Good Students" and "Advanced Individuals" awards,

They also have to be interviewed by their tutor and class teacher, and write a self-criticism.

As a Party member, one must also receive "ideological education" during Party and Youth League activities.

Although Chen Luyang expressed that she completely could not accept these regulations!

But no way,
Peking University and other universities across the country now generally implement a system of "strict academic standards".

Advanced mathematics is a fundamental course for economics and science and engineering students, and it is of paramount importance.

Moreover, the university system at that time placed great emphasis on "all-round development of morality, intelligence, and physical fitness".
Not only do they compete on grades and abilities,

We must also emphasize discipline and maintain a positive atmosphere.

We advocate the development of "collectivism" and "advanced role models".

Failing a course might be as simple as "taking a make-up exam next semester" for most people.

But if it were Chen Luyang,
The impact will be more than just academic credits.

It will also directly affect his "advanced image" within the group and the organization's evaluation.

It might even be used as a "negative example" to remind others:
"Don't just focus on projects and forget about your main business."

Normally, people wouldn't be so nervous about these things...

But there was nothing that could be done; Chen Luyang's advanced mathematics was simply too poor.

Even Yinghua had heard the story of Chen Luyang being punished by being made to stand during advanced mathematics class.

In order to make Chen Luyang take it seriously

Lian Yinghua specifically called Chen Luyang to her office and earnestly advised him:

"The teachers will try their best to help you with your major courses."

"But you absolutely, positively must review advanced mathematics thoroughly."

Chen Luyang nodded solemnly.

I see!
I'll do my best!
I'll fight with all my might!!!
Watching Chen Luyang's departing figure, Lian Yinghua couldn't help but sigh.

"Why is this perfectly normal child so bad at math!"

"yes……"

The accounting teacher standing nearby was also deeply moved.

"I heard that this child not only doesn't understand math, but also doesn't seem to know numbers very well."

"Who told me that last time?"

"He said he counted 'Jinba Car Maintenance and Repair Center' as ten characters." What?!

Upon hearing this, even Yinghua's pupils nearly dilated.

A brief silence fell inexplicably over the office.

It was as if a dark cloud had quietly drifted by, swirling above the heads of several teachers in the Economics Department.

The same thought simultaneously arose in their minds:

How did this kid get into university?!
But as soon as this idea popped into his head,

Everyone seemed to remember something and nodded as if they understood.

yes……

He was admitted through a special admission program.

That makes sense.

……

If Chen Luyang knew what the teachers were thinking at this moment,
He would definitely shout incredibly loudly and frantically!

Say!
Do not!
Over!
go with!
Our family is a legitimate, specially admitted student, just one point short of the college entrance exam cutoff score!
Unlike other specially admitted students!!!

We are different!
Besides, although I'm not good at advanced math...
But I know so many people!
at this time
In the cozy, warm, and gentle little house of the External Relations Department,
Chen Luyang was attentively serving Ma Tieli, offering her a peeled orange with a fawning smile:
"Sister Ma, are these oranges tasty?"

"If you like it, shall I peel a couple more for you?"

Ma Tieli frowned slightly: "Too sour, let's get bananas instead."

“Alright!!!!”

Chen Luyang immediately and deftly handed over the banana, peeling it cleanly and carefully removing even the last bit of string from the peel.

Watching Ma Tieli devour a banana, Chen Luyang was truly impressed!
What a tough guy!

A stomach made of pure iron!
From morning till now, it's been dates, oranges, bananas, and frozen persimmons all at once.
If it were Du Qiming, he would have already gone to the toilet to ejaculate.

But Ma Tieli didn't react at all after eating it!

Seeing that the bananas were taken care of, Chen Luyang immediately took the initiative to find work to do.

He picked up Ma Tieli's fountain pen, unscrewed the cap, and drew out the ink.

While smoking, he leaned closer and said:
"Sister Ma, as you know, I'm really not good at math."

"You're a top student in the mathematics department, so you understand best the subtle nuances in your teachers' minds!"

"Just give me some practice questions, okay?"

As Chen Luyang spoke, she carefully handed back the pen she had taken out, her expression full of flattery.

Through these days of contact, Chen Luyang has thoroughly figured out the temperaments of these people in the External Relations Department.

Ma Tieli is a typical example of someone with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

If someone speaks kindly and gently, and says a few nice things, they'll most likely win her over.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been fooled by Shen Fei into doing so much work for the External Relations Department.

really,

After eating a bunch of delicious food from Chen Luyang, Ma Tieli threw away the banana peel, picked up a pen, and started writing formulas.

"These teachers, although they like to come up with fancy tricks, will definitely test derivatives."

"Extreme values, inflection points, and monotonic intervals—memorizing the steps will get you points."

"The easy questions are all hidden in limits... If you can't draw a diagram for word problems, just memorize this formula..."

……

Before Chen Luyang could react, Ma Tieli had already scribbled several pages on the manuscript paper.

After finishing writing, Ma Tieli subconsciously looked up.

She looked up and met Chen Luyang's bewildered, innocent, and silly eyes.

Ma Tieli frowned: "Did you understand everything I said?"

Chen Luyang shook her head blankly.

"Snapped……!"

Even though Ma Tieli was well-traveled and knowledgeable, she couldn't help but put the pen on the table!
"I'm not kidding... how did you even get into university with your level of ability?"

"Because I'm a specially admitted student~"

Chen Luyang's voice was low, her expression was dejected, and her tone carried a hint of inferiority.

Ma Tieli choked on her breath.

Although everyone is in school

However, students who are admitted through the regular entrance exam do indeed have a slight sense of superiority compared to those admitted through special admissions.

Anyway,
They all got into university based on their own hard work and genuine talent.

Unlike special admissions students... they get in through policies and connections.

Seeing Chen Luyang's aggrieved and timid appearance,
Ma Tieli, who originally wanted to say something sarcastic, couldn't utter a single word now.

They've already revealed their deepest pain.

If I were to say anything unpleasant, I would be utterly inhuman!
"Hey... Xiao Chen, don't think like that."

Ma Tieli offered a somewhat awkward attempt at comfort:
"What's wrong with being admitted through special admissions?!"

"Special admissions students are also excellent!"

Chen Luyang's eyes were slightly red, and she said in a low voice:
"Sister Ma, don't try to comfort me."

"I know what I'm doing. Someone like me, who was specially admitted, can't possibly be as good at studying as those of you who got in through the entrance exam."

"If I really fail the course, I'll accept it."

“I should indeed accept the criticism from the class teacher and the department, and make a self-criticism in front of the whole class and even the whole department.”

What? !

Ma Tieli's voice rose.

"You have to write a self-criticism after failing a course?"

"Can't we just retake the exam next year?"

"Maybe... it's because I was admitted through a special admission program."

Chen Luyang hung her head and said sadly.

"That's not right!" Ma Tieli said, puzzled.

"I know other students admitted through the special admissions program, and I've never heard them mention any preferential treatment from the school!"

Without batting an eye, Chen Luyang asked in return, "Are they also bad at advanced mathematics and facing the prospect of failing?"

Ma Tieli was taken aback.

No, there really isn't!
to be frank,
The specially admitted students she knew were all very hardworking, and none of them actually failed any courses.

"I just don't have a talent for math, I can't understand it... It's my fault."

"It's only right that I write a self-criticism."

Chen Luyang's voice was choked with emotion.

Upon hearing this, Ma Tieli's eyes widened!
Isn't this bullying?!

She gritted her teeth, pulled out a few more sheets of paper, and began to write furiously.

Almost too angry
The pen tore several places on the manuscript paper, making a "sizzling" sound.

"Xiao Chen, I have a few questions here. Take them back and work through them step by step."

"If you have any questions about any step or formula, just ask me and I'll teach you."

Chen Luyang appeared pitiful and sorrowful on the surface, but inwardly she was thrilled by those words!
Even so, Chen Luyang still tentatively asked, not entirely at ease:

"Sister Ma, what kind of questions are these?"

“These are all questions we took the exam on back then,” Ma Tieli said without hesitation.

Ah? ? ?
"You still remember the exam questions from before???"

Chen Luyang looked at Ma Tieli in surprise.

Even now, if you ask Chen Luyang to think about what he ate the day before yesterday, he'll have to think hard.

So Ma Tieli can still remember the previous test questions!?
“How could I not remember!” Ma Tieli muttered, “It’s all a history of blood and tears.”

She pushed the manuscript paper in front of him:
"Anyway, once you understand these questions, you'll probably be on your way to the exam."

Chen Luyang took the manuscript and looked at it; it was like gibberish...

"Okay! I believe you!!!"
