Era: Starting with the struggle to refuse being taken advantage of

Chapter 339 Far from being as good as
Instead of providing a direct explanation, Wang Chengpeng began writing the solution process directly on the blackboard.

Wang Chengpeng wrote extremely fast, as if he didn't need to think at all, and wrote out a whole page of problem-solving process.

Before Song Sixi could even finish reading the solution steps, he saw that Wang Chengpeng had already finished writing and put down the chalk.

Without speaking, Wang Chengpeng intended to give the two of them ample time to think.

After waiting for about three minutes, Wang Chengpeng finally spoke up and asked:

"Did you understand?"

Nodding blankly, then shaking his head, Zhu Hong honestly said, "I didn't understand."

Song Sixi also felt her head was as muddled as paste, and shook her head blankly, saying:

"I should be able to understand it now, but I still don't."

Wang Chengpeng: ...? ? ?
With a heavy sigh, Wang Chengpeng said helplessly, "Since none of you understand, I will explain it to you in detail."

"Follow my train of thought. If there's anything you don't understand, just say so and I'll explain it again."

After being interrupted multiple times by Zhu Hong, Wang Chengpeng finally managed to complete the explanation of the problem with great difficulty.

Although the problem-solving process is somewhat complicated, its biggest advantage is that it is all explained using junior high school knowledge, which makes it understandable even for Zhu Hong, a student with only a junior high school level of education.

When the class ended, Song Sixi was utterly astonished and couldn't wait to ask:

"Comrade Wang, your solution is truly unique, and it's a solution I never even considered."

"Didn't you say there were two other approaches? Tell me about them too. I feel like my thinking has become more open, and some problems that I couldn't solve before seem to have become problems now."

Under Song Sixi's eager gaze, Wang Chengpeng continued explaining the second approach to solving the problem.

Perhaps because the first approach to solving the problem had served as a starting point, the second approach seemed much simpler, and even Zhu Hong was able to gain some insights after some thought.

Looking at one of the formulas, which is only found in high school textbooks, he asked out of curiosity:

"Brother Wang, what's going on with this formula? How can it equate two completely unrelated things?"

All knowledge has commonalities; it's just that a derivation process is lacking.

Wang Chengpeng naturally wouldn't arbitrarily say that this is just a formula and you can just use it. Instead, he started to deduce it and quickly derived the formula using the knowledge he had learned in junior high school.

Finally, Wang Chengpeng said with a smile, "Zhu Hong, this is a fairly well-known formula."

"In the future, when you encounter similar problems, you can directly use the formula without having to go through the trouble of derivation like I did."

"The reason I'm telling you the derivation of this formula today is so that you won't just mechanically use it without knowing its origin."

"Most importantly, the reasoning behind this formula can be applied to many areas. When you encounter similar problems again, even if you don't understand the formula, you can easily solve them."

"Alright, that's the second approach. Now that everyone understands, I won't go into details. Let's start explaining the third approach."

Another page of flowing chalk writing—Wang Chengpeng quickly wrote down the third solution.

His clear thinking and concise problem-solving process even gave Song Sixi the unbelievable illusion that learning was a pleasure.

This time, when he encountered a formula he didn't understand, Zhu Hong didn't ask directly. Instead, he started to derive it using the formulas he had learned.

But how easy is it to derive a new and completely unfamiliar formula?
Even though Zhu Hong was sweating profusely from writing, he still didn't have many ideas and was so anxious that he scratched his head and cheeks.

Wang Chengpeng did not think Zhu Hong was foolish; on the contrary, he nodded with satisfaction. This desire to explore knowledge is the driving force that supports humanity in navigating the ocean of knowledge.

Without this thirst for knowledge, learning becomes a painful experience.

Bypassing Zhu Hong, Wang Chengpeng approached Song Sixi, gestured for silence, and asked in a low voice:

"Song Zhiqing, what do you think of this question? Are you satisfied with my explanation?"

Nodding vigorously, Song Sixi exaggerated without reservation, saying:
"I'm very satisfied. I've never heard such a good course before."

"Compared to Comrade Wang's level of knowledge, I am far, far inferior."

Although he only explained one problem, Wang Chengpeng's profound knowledge made Song Sixi feel a sense of awe and inadequacy.

With an awkward smile, Song Sixi pulled out a few more questions from his pocket and said:

"Comrade Wang, actually, there are more questions than just this one that I don't understand."

Wang Chengpeng: ...? ? ?
While Zhu Hong was still deep in thought, Wang Chengpeng naturally couldn't continue explaining using the blackboard, so he sat down next to Song Sixi and asked him to answer the question directly.

Whenever Song Sixi encountered a problem where his solution was flawed or he got stuck, he would offer simple guidance to help him understand and continue solving the problem.

Smooth!

Looking at the problem that had been completely solved, Song Sixi felt a sense of satisfaction. For the first time, he had the illusion that solving problems was such a pleasant thing.

Song Sixi rose and bowed solemnly to Wang Chengpeng, expressing his sincere gratitude:

"Comrade Wang, your abilities truly amaze me."

"I have learned a lot from today's lesson, and now it is time to go back and digest it."

"Furthermore, it's not good to keep bothering Comrade Wang here. Please forgive me for going back first, and I'll come back to ask you for advice next time."

Nodding, Wang Chengpeng accepted Song Sixi's resignation.

Song Sixi didn't waste any time. He picked up the paper filled with his problem-solving ideas and hurriedly ran to his temporary residence.

I'm sure he'll have a hard time sleeping tonight, as he'll be spending some time immersed in the ocean of knowledge.

After seeing Song Sixi off, Wang Chengpeng went to Zhu Hong's side again.

Seeing the densely packed drafts on the paper, Wang Chengpeng thought to himself that deriving formulas was still a bit too complicated for Zhu Hong.

In particular, Zhu Hong has a stubborn personality. Even when faced with problems, he often doesn't change course but instead rushes headlong into them.

Pointing to one of the fatal mistakes that stumped Zhu Hong, Wang Chengpeng offered some guidance:

"Being able to calculate this far shows that you do have some talent in learning, but you're just a little too stubborn."

"Since direct solution cannot achieve the goal, it is better to introduce a number as an auxiliary tool and use the power of this number to derive the formula."

"Add this number to both sides of the formula, and I believe you will open a door to a new world!"

Although Zhu Hong was stubborn, he was obedient enough. Under Wang Chengpeng's guidance, he felt his thinking suddenly became clear and he quickly derived the formula.

Upon hearing this result, Zhu Hong excitedly stood up and shouted, "I solved it! I solved it!"

But before he could even enjoy his happiness for a few seconds, Wang Chengpeng's words plunged him back into despair:

"Now that you understand these two formulas, it's time to apply them in practice."

"I have a few relatively simple questions here. Do them first, and I'll check them later."

Simple……

Upon hearing this word, Zhu Hong seemed to recall something, shook his head with lingering fear, and his face was full of resistance.

However, he could not refuse Wang Chengpeng's arrangement and could only study with a mixture of pain and joy.

……

Time passed by in this simple learning rhythm, and apart from the news that Luo Wenbin was taken away to be shot and received his due punishment, Wangjia Village was relatively peaceful.

Perhaps the other slightly more important thing is that the Dapeng Sugar Factory's operations are now on the right track.
Not only were many corresponding departments established, but the canteen also officially opened for business soon after, willing to provide employees with three meals a day.

As an employee benefit, employees of Dapeng Sugar Factory can purchase three meals a day at extremely low prices, which can be considered an internal employee welfare price.

Of course, this welfare price has a limited quantity; if you want to buy more than that, you will have to pay the market price.

Although it's slightly more expensive than the employee benefit price, the overall price is still quite reasonable. It's not much more expensive than a state-run restaurant, and it's not much more expensive than cooking at home.

This is why many employees who find cooking troublesome are willing to buy meals from the cafeteria to feed their families.

After all, labor costs money. Although it will cost a little more, our family members get a rest, so it's a very worthwhile deal.

Aside from those who came to borrow books from Wang Chengpeng, only Wang Zidong and Song Sixi frequently came to Wang Chengpeng to ask him questions.

Life may be simple, but it is very fulfilling.

Time flies, and it's already mid-November.

That evening, Wang Chengpeng and his family sat in the living room, all with serious expressions, as if they were facing a huge challenge.

Or rather, everyone is about to face a tremendous challenge.

After hesitating for a long time, Wang Tieshan, as the head of the family, finally stepped forward and asked Wang Chengpeng:

“Xiaopeng, you are usually the most opinionated, so you must already have some ideas about the exam.”

"Tell your father what school you plan to apply to and what major you plan to study."

Scratching his head, Wang Tieshan continued to ask:
"I heard that everyone can apply for three universities. You'd better make good use of each one."

"In my opinion, you should fill in a better school as your first choice."

"For the second and third choices, just fill in a regular school as a backup, so that you can at least get into a university."

Wang Tieshan's idea was also the idea of ​​the vast majority of people, but Wang Chengpeng was not a conventional person; he never followed the usual path.

Furthermore, having absolute confidence in himself, Wang Chengpeng thought it over again and again, and finally placed the application form on the table so that everyone could see the choices he had made.

Wang Chengpeng: First choice – Fudan University

Second choice —

Third choice —

Liu Chunhua immediately noticed the key information on the registration form and complained:

"My son, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but how could you be so careless about something as important as filling out college applications?"

"Look at your second and third choices, you forgot to fill them in."

However, Wang Chengpeng remained unmoved by his mother's reminder, only saying one sentence:
"Mom, I just want to go to Fudan University, I only want to go to Fudan University."

When he said this, Wang Chengpeng's eyes were full of determination, as if the destruction of the world would not change his mind.

Liu Chunhua found it hard to understand and immediately prepared to persuade Wang Chengpeng to give up this unrealistic idea.

During these few days of communication, she also understood what Fudan University meant. It is a top university in China, and you must have very high scores to have a chance of passing the admission score.

Although Liu Chunhua also thought Wang Chengpeng was very outstanding, she did not think he was capable of defeating more than 99% of the candidates in the country and gaining the qualification to enter this top university.

He could fill in Fudan University as his first choice to try his luck, but he should at least fill in the other two choices as a backup if he fails to get into Fudan University.

In that case, Wang Chengpeng should be able to go to university this year.

Just as Liu Chunhua was about to speak, Wang Tieshan stopped her and whispered, "..."

“Children grow up and have their own ideas; we should support them, not suppress them.”

"Even if he doesn't pass the exam this year, my son is still young and will have countless more opportunities to take the exam."

“At least this time, we will support our son’s idea and not force him to do things he doesn’t like.”

Upon hearing Wang Tieshan's words, Liu Chunhua immediately became anxious and argued:

“It’s not that I don’t want him to go to Fudan University, I just want him to fill in two more choices just in case.”

"This is a hard-won opportunity, how can we act recklessly?"

Wang Chengpeng took Liu Chunhua's hand and patiently explained:
"Mother, although you may not understand, I really have confidence."

"Putting everything else aside, at least trust me this year. If I fail the college entrance exam this year, I'll listen to you next year and obediently fill out three college applications."

Even after Wang Chengpeng said that, Liu Chunhua's face was still full of anxiety, and she said:
"But what if there isn't such a good opportunity next year?"

"You studied for a long time this year, so you won't have such a big advantage next year when you take the exam."

Liu Chunhua's concerns are understandable. In fact, the first year after the resumption of the college entrance examination was the easiest year for the vast majority of people to pass.

Because of the short notice, many people rushed to the examination hall without having time to prepare.

Furthermore, given that this is the first year since the resumption of the college entrance examination, and not wanting to dampen everyone's enthusiasm, the exam questions in most areas will not be too difficult.
It was the first year since the resumption of the college entrance examination, and with a large number of enrollment slots, it was the biggest opportunity.

However, Wang Chengpeng is no ordinary person. Having been reborn, with the support of the proficiency system and knowing the college entrance examination essay topic in advance, there is no way he could fail to get into Fudan University.

His unconventional behavior was not due to arrogance, but because he truly possessed the ability!
