After taking the advice, I became a top student.

The day's classes ended quickly, and Chen Mo felt incredibly fulfilled and busy. The ocean of knowledge was so vast that even if he spent all his time studying, the more he knew, the more he realized how much he didn't know.

The saying "The sea of ​​learning is boundless, and diligence is the only boat" is embodied in this moment.

But all this busy work was worthwhile; it all turned into nutrients, nourishing Chen Mo and slowly improving his attributes.

At six o'clock in the evening,

Chen Mo arrived at the competition class classroom as usual, and this time a classmate was already sitting there.

Chen Mo had some recollection of this classmate; it seemed that this classmate was already a senior in high school this year. In the last assessment, he ranked sixth in the class and qualified to represent the school in the provincial competition of the National High School Games.

Rongcheng No.1 High School has exactly six slots for the National High School League this year, but based on past experience, the sixth-place student from Rongcheng No.1 High School often doesn't even get a provincial third place, and this student is a full-time competition student.

Chen Mo sighed, as if he were thinking of himself when he first entered the university.

Without much thought, Chen Mo found a seat and began studying competition materials and university mathematics. Instead of aiming too high and directly tackling "Mathematical Analysis," Chen Mo chose Tongji University's "Advanced Mathematics" and "Princeton Calculus Reader."

"Advanced Mathematics" is most closely connected to high school mathematics. The topics of limits, derivatives, integrals, etc. have been introduced in high school, such as functions, sequences, and simple differentiation, so Chen Mo can get started very easily.

Although "The Princeton Calculus Reader" is in English, Chen Mo's current English level will not pose any obstacles to reading it. Moreover, the language of this textbook is simple and easy to understand, making it very beginner-friendly.

Time always flies when you're studying. Soon, at 6:30, Zhou Zhi walked into the classroom on time.

Unlike in the past, this time, another teacher walked in with Zhou Zhi.

And from the moment he entered the classroom, he kept staring at Chen Mo.

"This is Mr. Jiang Fan, our physics competition class teacher at Rongcheng No.1 High School. He's here today..."

Zhou Zhi did not notice this abnormality and went to the podium to introduce it to the students.

However, when he turned around and saw Jiang Fan staring at Chen Mo, he was suddenly startled. He immediately swallowed the rest of his words, his muscles tensed, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Teacher Zhou, I've found that student."

Jiang Fan was overjoyed. After telling Zhou Zhi, he walked towards Chen Mo.

"Hey, wait a minute."

Zhou Zhi grabbed Jiang Fan and pulled him out of the classroom without saying a word.

"Teacher Zhou, why are you pulling me?"

Jiang Fan was furious. He had finally found a promising young talent and was about to extend an offer when Zhou Zhi inexplicably dragged him out of the classroom.

"Teacher Jiang, I'm sorry, I just remembered that our math competition team is also short-staffed recently. We really don't have any extra people to help other classes. You should look for good candidates elsewhere."

Zhou Zhi stood at the classroom door, firmly blocking Jiang Fan's way. He was so angry that he wanted to help, but this guy actually tried to sneak into the classroom. How despicable!

Jiang Fan understood perfectly well that the promising student he had his eye on was probably a pillar of the math competition class, but he wouldn't give up so easily. "Well, well, you old Zhou, do you know that what you're doing is extremely selfish and irresponsible towards the student?"

"If we put that student in the physics competition class, he can get better results!"

Zhou Zhi remained unmoved, even giving a disdainful smile. "You're kidding me. Do you think I don't know his talent in mathematics? With my guidance, he'd have no problem winning the CMO gold medal. Why would he go to your physics competition class?"

Whether or not he's a CMO gold medalist is something he's really not sure about, but he'll just make the boast out there first.

This really surprised Jiang Fan.

When has Rongcheng No. 1 High School ever produced such a student? He remembers that the best result of the math competition class in recent years was entering the national competition and winning a bronze medal. At that time, Rongcheng No. 1 High School was quite excited. They invited the media to report on it, hung up banners, and the principal even personally awarded the student a prize and certificate at the school assembly.

Even the anniversary celebration of Rongcheng No.1 High School has never been this lively.

He also realized the seriousness of the problem. He knew that if the little guy really had the potential to win a gold medal, Zhou Zhi would not let him go no matter what.

But this also proves that he was right. Such a promising talent also has a knack for physics. If he can participate in physics competitions, he might have the opportunity to go to IPhO, which is an international competition.

Although the CMO title is equally valuable, it is only relevant in the country.

If Rongcheng No.1 Middle School can make a name for itself in international competitions, he can brag about it for the rest of his life.

Jiang Fan's mind raced with thoughts, and he quickly devised a plan.

He didn't argue with Zhou Zhi, but just glanced into the classroom again before leaving the math competition class.

"It seems that Teacher Zhou and Teacher Jiang got into a fight."

"What are they doing?"

"I vaguely heard that they were going to add someone to the physics competition class."

"Wait, did you guys notice? As soon as Teacher Jiang walked into the classroom, she was staring at Chen Mo. Could they be talking about Chen Mo?"

"Chen Mo? He's that good at physics too?"

"No way, I remember someone saying that Chen Mo got a zero on his combined science exam."

In the classroom, the students were discussing it animatedly.

When Zhou Zhi returned to the classroom and saw his classmates discussing it, he thought for a moment and then added, "Whether it's a math competition or a physics competition, it requires a lot of time and energy. Once you've chosen one, don't be half-hearted. Otherwise, you might end up knowing a little bit of everything but mastering nothing, and ultimately achieve nothing."

Upon hearing this, the students became even more convinced that Teacher Jiang really was there to poach their students.

Everyone looked at Chen Mo, who was studying diligently, wondering if the person standing at the foot of the wall was actually Chen Mo.

……

Jiang Fan left room 601 and went straight to the school leaders' office.

"Old Zhao, I've discovered a promising physics competitor. If we nurture him properly, he might have a chance to go to IPHO!"

Upon entering the office of the vice principal in charge of competitions at Rongcheng No. 1 Middle School, Jiang Fan made a surprising remark.

Zhao Zhenzhong took a leisurely sip of tea, pointed to the chair opposite his desk, and said, "Sit down. What difficulties have you encountered? What kind of help do you need? Tell me slowly."

He was already used to the exaggerated reactions of these competition teachers. IPhO? Could their Rongcheng No. 1 High School really produce such a talent? He certainly didn't believe it.

"I don't know that classmate's name yet, Lao Zhao, could you look it up for me?"

Jiang Fan explained his purpose: "This student is currently in the math competition class. I can recognize him if I look up the class's information."

Zhao Zhenzhong smiled knowingly. He didn't even know the other party's name, yet he knew the other party was a promising talent?

It might just be a battle of egos between the math competition class and the physics competition class.

However, Zhao Zhenzhong did not object. Competition is a good thing. He was worried that the competition at Rongcheng No.1 Middle School would become stagnant.

He pulled up the math competition class's information, beckoned to Jiang Fan, and said, "Come take a look. I'm also curious to see what kind of promising students they are that can get into IPhO?"
