Chapter 14 National Award Seeds
At dawn the next day, when the students got up on time and went to the classroom for morning self-study, Sun Xuehai, the principal of Guyuan No. 1 High School, was driving to Pingzhou No. 1 Middle School.

Attend the city-wide meeting of principals of general high schools.

Pingzhou No. 1 Middle School, as the only key middle school in the city, is unmatched by other schools in terms of both faculty and student sources.

Even the teaching materials used are different.

Every time the city education department holds a report meeting, it will be held in Pingzhou No. 1 Middle School.

Sun Xuehai and his colleagues from school had breakfast on the way and arrived at their destination around eight o'clock.

I walked into the school's lecture hall with ease and immediately saw many familiar faces.

They are all principals and vice principals of high schools in counties and cities.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, they sat down and waited for the arrival of the leader who would preside over the meeting.

The so-called report meeting is nothing more than an exchange of typical experiences between schools, and whether it is specifically applicable is still unclear.

However, Sun Xuehai's main purpose today was not to be in the meeting, but to think about what Wang Qingtao said yesterday. He had to solve the problem of competition materials as there was a ready-made opportunity.

So during the break in the meeting in the morning, he walked towards the principal of Pingzhou No. 1 Middle School.

"Principal Chen."

"I was very inspired by the method you just talked about on the stage to improve teaching quality. We will also conduct a pilot project when we return."

"It's Principal Sun." Chen Wen Zhong turned around and saw that it was an old acquaintance, so he greeted him with a smile.

Although Guyuan No. 1 High School is a county-level high school, its undergraduate admission rate is higher than that of their No. 1 Middle School. Therefore, the attitude towards Sun Xuehai is naturally different from that of other county high school principals.

It is worth mentioning that Sun Xuehai did not directly state his purpose.

The two of them successfully opened the topic and talked about the content of the previous meeting. When he saw that the time was right, he spoke: "I heard that your school has organized a math competition class again this year. It should have cultivated a lot of good seedlings, right?"

"There are so many good talents out there. Geniuses are hard to come by!"

When Chen Wenzhong heard the other party mention his own competition class, he sighed with regret.

But the expression on his face when he spoke showed satisfaction.

It's almost like pride is written all over his face.

Sun Xuehai echoed from the side, and then suddenly changed the subject.

Let’s get to the point.

"I wonder if Principal Chen could give me a copy of the complete set of competition materials you used to take back?"

"Competition information?"

Chen Wenzhong sat up straight with a puzzled look on his face: "Haven't you already given up the competition? What's the point of having this information?"

"In fact, our school has another student participating in the competition this year, and he is being trained as a seed for the national award." Sun Xuehai answered proudly, without hiding the existence of Xu Yuan.

Last year, Guyuan No. 1 High School lost its first competition, and he was often ridiculed in many meetings.

Now that the school has such seeds, it must be made public.

Let others know that Guyuan No. 1 High School has the ability to cultivate outstanding competition students.

Of course, there is also an element of gambling in this move.

Just the vision of gambling king Qingtao.

Otherwise, if Xu Yuan didn't even get the provincial award, he would have lost more than just face.

However, although Sun Xuehai spoke with great confidence, Chen Wenzhong did not take it to heart.

Since the establishment of Pingzhou No. 1 Middle School, they have selected students to sign up for five major subject competitions every year.

But only one was selected for the national training team.

Now, if a county high school with no competition experience says it has cultivated seeds for national awards in the National High School Mathematics Competition, I'm afraid no one will believe it.

At this time, the people around them became interested in the conversation and couldn't help but discuss it with each other. "The competition class organized by Guyuan last year didn't produce any results, and now a national award candidate suddenly appears. Could it be that Principal Sun has too high expectations?"

"Speaking of which, our city has not won a national award for many years. It seems that we will have to rely on Guyuan No. 1 High School this year."

"If you ask me, Old Sun, you should just increase the undergraduate rate and leave the competition to the city."

……

Listening to everyone's words, Sun Xuehai noticed that most of those who spoke were principals of middle schools in the city. He knew that they were envious of the undergraduate rate of Guyuan No. 1 High School, which ranked among the top in the province.

I didn't even bother to respond to this and just waited for Chen Wenzhong's reply.

There were many leaders in the venue. Pingzhou No. 1 Middle School represented by Chen Wen Zhong, as the big brother of the city, would definitely not care about a set of competition materials.

With a smile on his face, he immediately expressed his opinion:

"Participating in the competition and achieving good results will also bring honor to our city. Principal Sun's personal efforts for the students are even more worthy of our learning. I will have someone send a few more sets of math competition materials over later."

"Thank you, Principal Chen." Sun Xuehai hurriedly expressed his gratitude upon hearing this.

This matter was just a minor episode in today's report meeting, and no one mentioned it again soon after the result was announced.

But what is certain is that next month, many people will pay attention to this national award seed player from Guyuan No. 1 High School to see what kind of results he will get.

-

When Sun Xuehai came back from the city in the afternoon, the first thing he did was to ask Wang Qingtao to hand over all the latest competition information to Xu Yuan.

This allowed Xu Yuan to continue his previous review plan.

As time passed, Xu Yuan's study became regular.

In addition to doing a large number of exercises every day to train various abilities, I will also adjust my plans appropriately.

In order to achieve a deeper understanding of mathematics, rather than simply solving problems.

It was the end of the month in a blink of an eye. As the league was getting closer, Xu Yuan slowed down his review pace.

It's like everything is under control.

"Brother Yuan, you are so suitable to be a teacher. I clearly had no idea how to solve the problem, but after listening to your explanation, I instantly knew how to solve it. I feel that my math has improved a lot in the past few days."

In the classroom that morning, after Yang Bin listened to Xu Yuan's lecture, his eyes were filled with admiration.

Ever since he asked Xu Yuan for help with a math problem, he seemed to have opened the door to a new world.

I never thought math could be so simple.

So I had to ask Xu Yuan to explain a few questions every day.

Otherwise I will never give up.

For this reason, he changed the way he addressed Xu Yuan from just his name to "Brother Yuan".

"In fact, mathematics is not as difficult as you think. As long as you analyze the essence, it will be easy to encounter the same type of questions next time."

Xu Yuan was obviously accustomed to Yang Bin's exaggerated performance. After a brief summary, he turned his attention back to the overseas mathematical works on his desk.

In recent days, in addition to explaining the questions to Yang Bin, he also accepted questions from other students in the class.

Because he is good at analyzing the essence of question types and insists on using the most appropriate method to solve them, his ideas are easily understood by others.

It often helps others to truly master this type of question.

Later, even when Wang Qingtao was teaching, he would often ask him to go on stage to explain the questions to everyone.

Besides, he no longer needed to practice actual competition questions, and was happy to experience the feeling of being a teacher.

Just as he was about to continue reading the math book in his hand, he heard Yang Bin next to him say, "By the way, Brother Yuan, are you really not going back for the holiday this month?"
