Chapter 232 The Explosive May Begins from 760

"Give me some face, Li Yan."

"I have reached the lower limit of my goal, so I can't be happy."

"Of course I won't just talk about this with Director Jin." Dong Chengliang smiled proudly, "You are really very ambitious. It wasn't until Director Jin saw your performance that he realized that your previous bold words were not just for show."

"It's for showing off. Showing off is not just bragging, it's a science."

Dong Chengliang believes that in this field, Li Yan is indeed the teacher.

"Li Yan, your performance may make it into the top five."

Only Li Yan was mentioned, which means Chen Fan probably has no hope.

He also had a clear idea in his mind. Although the collaborative topic was the result of his and Li Yan's joint conception, most of the projects were submitted by Li Yan - so the weight was very high.

"Where is Chen Fan?" Li Yan asked directly.

"For Chen Fan's last question, there are too few things in the draft box." Dong Chengliang was helpless. "Other groups basically cooperated to write code, and uploaded the engineering files of various stages to the draft box together - although basically everyone wrote their own, and then someone pieced them together and submitted them."

"But the idea is..."

"Li Yan," Chen Fan interrupted, "it's useless to have an idea but not be able to implement it. Moreover, this idea is not unique to me. It's just a question. It's just a matter of whether you think about it quickly or slowly."

He is very proud, so he is unwilling to accept the care of the strong.

"Chen Fan, you are already very good!" Teacher Dong encouraged, "I hope you can win the first prize in the junior high school national competition, or even win first place."

Chen Fan keenly grasped the key point, "Li Yan...you are not going to participate in the junior high school competition, right?"

"The society hasn't given us a plan yet. Director Jin said that we may need to have an internal discussion. I'm not saying anything bad about you, Li Yan, but why are you still frowning? Cheer up, you're in the first grade of junior high school, and they're already in the first and second grade of high school!"

"I lost, didn't I?" Li Yan asked an expected question in a way that Dong Chengliang had not expected.

The official dared to say that this brat made it into the top five, which naturally shows that they knew the value of Li Yan’s answer. But they did not say that he might be the first, because someone else’s results were more dazzling than his.

He handed in the paper early, and the only person who could compare his results with was Deng Yudi, who was equally fast.

"At least he lost to Deng Yudi." Dong Chengliang originally considered using a more mild statement, but the moment he spoke, he felt that perhaps Li Yan would be more interested in rationality and objective presentation of facts.

"Any reason given?"

"No." Dong Chengliang shrugged. "Your answer is OK, and the last question is also of a high level."

"I roughly know what's going on." Li Yan muttered, "Forget it, as long as I can get into the top five, I'll just have to worry about it."

"Don't think about it anymore. Go back to the hotel and get your luggage. Let's see if you want to find food in Xin'an or go back to Xinbei. I'll take you out for a meal."

The examination room was still bustling with activity. Not only were the examinees working hard with sweat on their foreheads, but the guests in the backstage conference room were also having heated discussions.

It was somewhat awkward that there was only one vice principal of Xin'an Middle School left on the huge rostrum.

"I support allowing Li Yan to directly participate in the national A-level competition. The ultimate goal of the competition is to select advanced talents. A first-year junior high school student can hand in such an answer sheet, why can't we make an exception?"

A tall, thin, middle-aged man with a buzz cut and gray hair waved his hand and said.

He is the deputy director of the Development Department of Linjiang Provincial Information Center, Wen Hongzhi.

"Minister Wen," Vice Chairman Zhang said in a tired voice, "We share the same idea as you. We certainly support opening a special channel for geniuses."

"This topic goes around in circles but ends up like this. It's boring." Minister Wen is a professional technician and doesn't pay much attention to social etiquette.

So Vice Chairman Zhang’s expression didn’t look very good either.

"Old Wen, attitude is one thing, but operation is another." Chairman Xu, who has white hair and deep wrinkles on his face, said, "The national competition does give junior high school students the opportunity to show themselves. Whether Linjiang wants to be the first to stand out is not what you said about being ahead of the times or something... It's not a compliment."

"You guys just like to talk nonsense, so I'll argue with you." Wen Bu said. "This kind of competition is, after all, to give talented high school students a chance to go directly to Huada University. Li Yan is very good, but he is only in the first grade after all. If he comes in, there will be one less high school quota." Chairman Xu sighed, "You can't expect a first-grade student to make it to the top 30 of the national competition. He is not the most outstanding one among these children today. Is what I say to you realistic enough?"

"Then will you rank in the top five? Isn't that very difficult for you guys to do?"

"It's okay to be in the top five," Director Jin interrupted, "as long as we're not first. Anyway, Deng Yudi's prime numbers were selected by a program, while Li Yan entered them manually. Judging from the computer's performance, there's no objection to Deng Yudi using this to get a higher score."

"We will try to get him to participate in the Class B competition, and we will also inform the China Computer Society of Li Yan's results. If they are willing to give us an extra seat, I would naturally be happy to see it happen." Chairman Xu nodded.

Wen Hongzhi curled his lips indifferently, "Let me remind you of one thing. If this kid gets good results in the Class B competition, everyone will be unhappy."

"They are all talents trained by my Linjiang. How can they not be good-looking?" Chairman Xu laughed.

……

Li Yan and Chen Fan were welcomed by the whole street when they returned to the dormitory. Four people stood in the small area where people had to take off their shoes. Zhu Qinglun and Li Ruofei each held a glass of water, Lin Heng waved the cheering props left over from the school sports meeting, and Liang Tiancheng clapped his hands and said:

"Welcome the two heroes back!"

"You came back without saying anything, not bad." Li Yan nodded and gave his evaluation.

"Character, character," Chen Fan ran to his seat holding his head, "We need to accumulate character as a person, we can't open champagne at halftime!"

"Chen Feifan, you have become more positive after going out with Young Master Yan." Zhu Qinglun said.

"Yes, the topic of our cooperation is the transformation of the human body's emotional terminal." Li Yan laughed, "I implanted a program in him. The Chen Fan you see is already..."

As Li Yan was talking, she was stunned when she saw her roommate's expression which was three parts shocked and seven parts terrified.

"No, can you take this kind of joke seriously?"

"Others say I will laugh at him, but you say... I'm afraid of being slapped in the face." Lin Heng made a wonderful summary.

Li Yan was full of black lines on her face, "I need the freedom to joke!"

The selection for the Linjiang Province Middle School Students Informatics Competition has temporarily come to an end, but Li Yan’s explosive May has just begun.

Li Yan originally thought that the first game to come would be a basketball game, and was preparing to arrange a more intensive training plan, and by the way, try to improve her physical parameters that had stagnated again through the game with explosive desire to win and concentration.

Unexpectedly, what first triggered May was something he had already ignored.

On May 5, Guo Qiwen called Li Yan. The content was very outrageous and direct:

"You can get full marks for your Chinese composition, but the question is, do you want it?"

The teacher asked the students whether they wanted to get full marks in Chinese, and even if you put it on The Onion News, someone would criticize you for not writing it carefully.

Li Yan said without hesitation: "Of course!"

"I think using a score like 759 to give you so-called motivation is just self-deception on my part."

"It's such a happy occasion, Mr. Guo, please don't be so sad."

“You’re still excited about this?”

"Of course, the words 'full marks in all subjects' can easily be said too much."

"How do you know you got full marks in all subjects? What if I'm willing to give you full marks in Chinese just because you didn't get full marks in other subjects?"

"What else is wrong? Find the examiner, he must have made a mistake."

Guo Qiwen on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time.
