After taking the advice, I became a top student.

The administration building of Rongcheng No.1 Middle School

"Is this relationship reliable?"

Zhou Zhi frowned and looked at Jiang Fan.

Yesterday, he called his students, but couldn't get through. So Jiang Fan took out his phone and made several calls, but he still hasn't received a reply.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Can these things be rushed?"

Jiang Fan wasn't sure himself, but he had to pretend to be confident.

Good luck, good luck, good luck brings joy and love...

Suddenly, a burst of festive music began to play.

Zhou Zhi hurriedly took out his phone and discovered that it was Zhang Wei, a student who worked at the Chengdu Mathematical Society, calling.

"Teacher Zhou, I'm Xiao Zhang."

The call connected, and Zhang Wei's voice came through.

"Um."

Zhou Zhi had some guesses about the purpose of the call, but he pretended to be calm and didn't rush.

"Here's the thing, the results of this provincial competition are out..."

Zhou Zhi looked at Jiang Fan in surprise, silently saying, "You're really something!"

Jiang Fan proudly raised his head. Even he himself hadn't expected that his connections would actually get this done. He felt like he was about to swagger.

"Our school did very well on the exam this time!"

"Not only did they have one provincial second-place finisher, two provincial third-place finishers, but they also had a provincial first-place finisher, and it was a perfect score!"

"Save one?!"

Zhou Zhi froze for a moment, then began to tremble with excitement.

After so many years, their No. 1 High School has finally produced a provincial champion again!

"It should be Angelica dahurica!"

Zhou Zhi was overjoyed. Before Chen Mo joined the math competition team, Bai Zhi had always been a promising talent that he had been focusing on cultivating, and she certainly did not disappoint him.

Jiang Fan, who was standing nearby, also heard the news. He looked at Zhou Zhi with envy in his eyes, wondering when they would produce a provincial first prize winner in the physics competition.

"Here's the thing, our president, along with two professors from Yanbei University, would like to speak with that student. I wonder if it would be convenient for Professor Zhou to make that arrangement?"

Zhang Wei continued to ask.

"Convenient, of course it's convenient!"

Zhou Zhi said excitedly, "A professor from Yanbei University is coming. This clearly means they've taken a liking to one of our promising students."

If No. 1 High School could produce a promising student for Tsinghua or Peking University, it would be earth-shattering news in Chengdu. Zhou Zhi felt his muscles trembling all over.

However, he quickly calmed down. "But I need to say hello to that classmate first, but it shouldn't be a problem. When are you coming?"

"Is today okay?"

"Today?"

Zhou Zhi was somewhat surprised; it seemed the professors at Yanbei University were quite anxious.

"No problem, I'll contact them right away."

Zhou Zhi hung up the phone and rushed out of the office excitedly.

Jiang Fan touched his nose, and now he realized that today's phone call wasn't because of his reputation, but because No. 1 High School had produced a promising student who was a provincial champion.

After leaving the administration building, Zhou went straight to Class 18 of the second year of high school.

It was during a Chinese class, and Zhou Zhi didn't care about anything else. She came to the classroom door and excitedly put her hands together in front of the Chinese teacher. "Excuse me, Teacher Song, I need to talk to Bai Zhi about something. It's very good news, and I'm in a bit of a hurry."

Since it was such a good thing, Teacher Song didn't say much, but just nodded to Bai Zhi.

"What's wrong, Teacher Zhou?"

Bai Zhi walked out of the classroom and asked in confusion.

"I knew I wasn't wrong about you! You performed exceptionally well in the provincial competition. I just heard you won first place!"

Zhou Zhi's excitement hadn't subsided yet.

"Me, the top student in the province?"

Bai Zhi was also a little confused. She did feel that she had performed quite well this time, but she never thought that she would be the first in the province.

"That's right!"

Zhou Zhi continued, "And this afternoon a professor from Yanbei University is coming to talk to you. Are you alright?"

"Let's meet in my office."

"I'm fine."

Bai Zhi was starting to feel a little dizzy, feeling that happiness had come too suddenly.

So what if I just got a provincial first prize? Why are professors from Yanbei University here?

Is the provincial first prize really that valuable now?

In her mind, the reason why the professor from Yanbei University came to see her was simply to talk about her being recommended for admission to university. What else could it be?

Are you suggesting I discuss mathematics with you?

How is that possible?

"Okay, it's settled then."

Zhou Zhi immediately made the decision, "You should make good preparations."

"Hmm, it seems there's not much to prepare. Just try to say as little as possible, and I'll handle the communication with the professors from Yenbei University. I have experience in this area."

Zhou Zhi said confidently, but in reality, he had no experience at all. The best student he had ever mentored was only a bronze medalist in the CMO competition, which was not enough to guarantee admission to Tsinghua or Peking University.

But compared to Bai Zhi, he was indeed more experienced.

After Bai Zhi finished giving her instructions, Zhou Zhi rushed to Vice Principal Zhao Zhenzhong's office.

"What?"

"A professor from Yanbei University is coming?"

Upon hearing this news, Zhao Zhenzhong immediately jumped up from his chair. "Quickly, notify the principal!"

Chengdu No. 1 High School has produced a true dragon!

Zhao Zhenzhong immediately took Zhou Zhi and rushed to the principal's office.

"That's a good thing!"

The principal was much calmer than the vice-principal and Zhou Zhi. "Although the teachers from Yanbei University said they would come, it doesn't necessarily mean they'll be recommended for admission. Don't be too eager."

Hearing the principal say this, Zhou Zhi and the other person calmed down considerably.

Indeed, being ranked first in the province is a very good result, but it seems there is still a considerable distance to go before being recommended for admission to Tsinghua or Peking University. Perhaps Professor Yanbei came here for other reasons. If they act in a hurry, it would only embarrass No. 1 High School.

"Should we handle this discreetly?"

Zhao Zhenzhong asked tentatively. He had already planned a series of arrangements, but after being unsure whether the professor from Yanbei University was coming to discuss the matter of being recommended for admission, he suddenly became apprehensive.

"Keep a low profile? No, let's be even more high-profile."

The principal shook his head. "No matter what the professors from Yanbei University are here for, since they're here, we'll do our best to promote them."

"Old Zhao, go contact the school's publicity department and quickly order a banner that says 'Welcome Professor Yanbei University to visit No. 1 Middle School for guidance.' Hang it up at the school gate and also post it on the school's official account."

"There are only six months left until next year's enrollment, so every little bit of recognition we can gain is important."

If time weren't so tight, he would have even contacted a few more local media outlets to report on the matter.

Zhao Zhenzhong secretly gave a thumbs up. Brilliant, truly brilliant!

Why don't you just be the principal?

Jiang Fan looked at Zhou Zhi, who was running back and forth on campus, shook his head, and walked towards the first-year teaching building.

"Chen Mo, how's physics going lately?"

"The exam is in two weeks, but don't be nervous. You're only in your first year of high school. This trip is just to familiarize yourself with the environment and build a foundation. Next year is when we'll perform..."

Chen Mo looked at Teacher Jiang blankly, wondering why he had suddenly come over and said so many strange things to him.
