After taking the advice, I became a top student.

Let's add each other as friends.

Lin Zhiyuan took out his phone. "I have a feeling we'll meet at winter camp."

Although he didn't fully understand Chen Mo's proof, his intuition told him that Chen Mo's approach was correct, and he always trusted his intuition.

Chen Mo naturally did not refuse.

He had just added Lin Zhiyuan as a friend when Lin pulled him into a group chat.

[The Chengdu Mathematics Competition Family]

"..."

The group name made Chen Mo both laugh and cry; he hadn't expected these competition organizers to be so retro.

"New couple's hot photos!"

"Newcomers, please send red envelopes!"

"So you're one of Lin Shenla's men. Just who are you?"

"Could it be that guy from No. 1 High School?"

The previously quiet chat group suddenly became lively because of Lin Zhiyuan's invitation, and everyone was curious about Chen Mo's identity.

There were also people in the group who participated in the provincial competition in the past two days, and they naturally thought of Chen Mo, whom Lin Zhiyuan valued highly in the past two days.

"No. 1 Middle School?"

"Does No. 1 High School have any competitions? I've never heard of that."

The group members were completely bewildered, almost saying outright, "Does someone from No. 1 High School even deserve to be in this group?"

If Chen Mo hadn't been in the group, and they hadn't had some reservations, they might have spoken more directly.

Don't be fooled by the name "big family" and the large number of people in the group. Not just anyone can join this big family. Those who can join are at least provincial first-prize winners. The reason there are so many people is because alumni from previous years are also in the group.

Therefore, there are many CMO gold medalists and even IMO gold medalists in the group. They are now in various universities, and some have even become professors.

This is why Lin Zhiyuan only added Chen Mo to the group now. He originally wanted to wait until the provincial competition results came out before adding him, but now he suddenly felt that Chen Mo didn't need to wait for the results.

"I trust Lin Shen's judgment. When the provincial competition results come out, you might be surprised."

"I also believe in Kobayashi."

"Has the situation in Chengdu changed again? I'm actually looking forward to the provincial competition results now. By the way, when are the results released?"

"Number 15, I guess."

The group members quickly started chatting amongst themselves and stopped discussing the topic.

Lin Zhiyuan didn't say much in the group chat. He knew that the provincial competition results were more useful than anything he could say at the moment.

However, just as he was about to leave the group chat.

What happened to No. 1 Middle School?

A message suddenly popped up in the group, tagging the person who had previously questioned No. 1 Middle School.

The chat group immediately fell silent.

Then everyone remembered that while No. 1 Middle School didn't have many talented athletes, it wasn't without talent. There was a bronze medalist and a provincial first-prize winner from No. 1 Middle School in the group. The person speaking now was Dai Yafeng, the former bronze medalist from No. 1 Middle School.

Everyone in the group knows that this person, who is now working under a big name in the mathematics department of Zhejiang University, has already published two SCI papers in Q1 journals in his first year of graduate school. He is clearly a rising star in the mathematics community.

He's currently riding high, and nobody wants to offend him.

The group chat fell silent immediately.

"Keep it up, junior! If you ever want to come to Zhejiang University, you can contact me first."

After waiting a while, Dai Yafeng tagged Chen Mo in the group. Although Chen Mo had not yet admitted that he was from No. 1 Middle School, it could be inferred from his silence that he was most likely a student of No. 1 Middle School.

"Thank you, senior brother."

Chen Mo replied, then turned on the group chat's "Do Not Disturb" function and put away his phone.

At the Yinquan dormitory building of Zhejiang University, Dai Yafeng's lips curled up slightly.

He never expected that his alma mater would produce another talented person.

Although he had never heard of Chen Mo, since Lin Zhiyuan had invited him into the group, he must be quite capable. He had never heard of Chen Mo, but he had heard of Lin Zhiyuan.

If that kid can get first place in the province, that would be pretty good.

Only he knew how difficult it was to win a provincial first prize in a competitive environment like that of No. 1 High School.

Thinking of this, he took out his phone and dialed the number of his mentor, Zhou Zhi.

"Teacher Zhou, I heard that a young student from No. 1 Middle School recently participated in a math competition. What do you think of him?"

Dai Yafeng wasn't lacking in emotional intelligence; he simply valued his time and was too lazy to waste it on unimportant things. He also understood his teacher's personality and knew that this efficient communication style was something both parties appreciated.

"There is a promising talent."

Zhou Zhi paused for a moment, then added, "However, I might not have performed very well in this provincial competition. I'll have to wait until next year to see any results."

"That's already pretty good!"

Dai Yafeng sincerely praised him, saying that since there is still next year, it means that he is at most a junior in high school this year. In the eyes of a teacher, if he is considered a good prospect, then he will naturally be good.

"If he wants to come to Zhejiang University, I might be able to help him."

Dai Yafeng stopped there, chatted briefly with Zhou Zhi for a few more minutes, and then hung up the phone.

……

Yidong International Hotel

After discussing for a while in the hotel room, it was time for dinner.

The school arranged dinner for them at the hotel, but everyone decided to go out and eat something nice at their own expense.

"Holy crap! Streamer, you really came!"

However, as soon as they arrived at the barbecue stall, a young man next to them, who was eating lamb skewers, exclaimed in surprise.

He was the one who posted the comment yesterday saying he was going to arrest Chen Mo at Chengdu University of Technology, but he had good luck playing games today and forgot about it. Unexpectedly, he ran into Chen Mo while having dinner.

Looking at the school uniform of the student next to Chen Mo, I immediately felt a deep respect for Chen Mo.

The name of 479 is well-known in Chengdu. Students from Chengdu University of Technology can't even come close to it. After all, the teachers of 479 always tell their students, "If you don't work hard, you'll only be able to go to Sichuan University next door."

The university of science and technology is not even worthy of being mentioned by the teachers.

Although Chen Mo was wearing the school uniform of No. 1 High School, he must have some ability to be able to be with the top students from No. 4, No. 7, and No. 9 High Schools.

He subconsciously glanced at Bai Zhi beside Chen Mo, and then at Lin Wanqing on the other side, before looking directly at Lin Wanqing without hesitation. "Class beauty, is that you, class beauty?"

"?"

Bai Zhi was filled with questions and subconsciously took a step back.

"Hello there."

Chen Mo nodded slightly to him and explained, "She's not the class beauty."

Then they went to sit at an empty table on the other side with Lin Zhiyuan and the others.

"The streamer?"

Lin Zhiyuan looked at Chen Mo with curiosity.

"I occasionally do live-streamed learning sessions," Chen Mo answered truthfully.

"The class beauty?"

Bai Zhi also looked over questioningly.

"Cough cough..."

Chen Mo was a little embarrassed. "They saw Shen Qingyi during the live stream..."

"Oh?"

"Is there a story behind it?"

Lin Zhiyuan's eyes immediately lit up.

Don't let his aloof academic prowess fool you; every student his age has a bit of curiosity. He just needs to maintain his academic aura at school.

Qiu Mingyuan and Lin Wanqing also looked over with intense eyes; they hadn't been this attentive when Chen Mo was explaining the problem earlier.

But Chen Mo naturally wouldn't say another word.

Who is Shen Qingyi?

Lin Zhiyuan looked at Bai Zhi beside him.

"The school beauty of No. 1 High School!"

Bai Zhi looked at Chen Mo with a half-smile. People often compared her to Shen Qingyi, so she had naturally heard of Shen Qingyi.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, gasps of surprise rang out from the table, creating a lively atmosphere. They were usually immersed in their tedious studies, and listening to gossip was one of their top forms of entertainment.

Only Zhou Hao stood by, silently heartbroken.

"Qingyi is even doing a live stream with him..."
