Chapter 32 National Gold Medal
"Congratulations to Xu Yuan from the First Senior High School of Guyuan County, Pingzhou City, and 96 other students for winning the gold medal."

“Congratulations to them.”

Han Youzhang, the chief examiner, briefly announced the gold medal list on the podium. Because Xu Yuan's name was at the first, there was warm applause from the audience after it was read out in public.

The provincial team was even more excited, and everyone looked at Xu Yuan with congratulations and envy.

"Brother Yuan, look, you are the first place in the gold medal."

"You are worthy of being my life idol. You are so strong."

"Congratulations, Brother Yuan."

……

Zhang Yuhui's face was also filled with joy at this time, and he didn't know how to describe his mood. If he was not still in the lecture hall and needed to control his emotions and pay attention to the order of the venue, he would definitely give Xu Yuan a tight hug to express his inner feelings.

"This year, Xu Yuan helped our province win first place in the finals. This kind of result has never happened before."

Xu Yuan listened to everyone's words and expressed his gratitude to them one by one.

"thank you all."

There was finally a hint of a smile on his face.

It’s not that he was pretending to be calm, it was mainly because teachers from Qinghua and Yenching Admissions Office had already been here yesterday.

He was informed of the results of the final in advance.

Still the same as the league.

Full marks in both exams

In order to win him over, both sides offered generous conditions, which can be said to be full of sincerity.

When you know the result in advance, it is really difficult to express the surprise that bursts from the bottom of your heart.

However, it is worth mentioning that he has not yet signed an admission agreement with any university. After all, the final results have just been announced, and the next step will be the most intense time for famous universities to compete for students.

Soon, as everyone continued to search the list on the screen, Lin Haoming on the left suddenly stood up.

He pointed at the screen with a trembling hand.

"It looks like I'm on the list... I got the gold medal!"

His voice trembled as if he couldn't believe it.

Lin Haoming originally thought that he was blessed by his ancestors to win the silver medal, but he did not expect that because he sat at the same table with Xu Yuan during the training camp, his strength was directly improved to the level of winning the gold medal.

So much so that after seeing the three words "Lin Haoming", I was still wondering if there was anyone with the same name.

It was not until I noticed the words "Luyang No. 1 Middle School" in front of it that I was sure.

Another gold medal was won, Zhang Yuhui clenched his palms with excitement, thinking that he had never been so excited in leading the team for many years. After all, unlike Xu Yuan, Lin Haoming was a student in his math competition class.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan was naturally happy for Lin Haoming, and subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the location of his name.

With a smile on his face, he said, "The name isn't too far down the list, maybe it has a chance to be in the top 60."

“I don’t think I can get a place…”

Although Lin Haoming said he didn't quite believe it, his eyes never left the screen for even a second.

Not long after.

The gold medal list has been announced, followed by the members of the national training team.

Just as Xu Yuan guessed, when the list scrolled to the last row, Lin Haoming's name appeared on it.

It happens to be ranked 60th.

"Brother Yuan, you are amazing. I really made it to the national training team."

Lin Haoming almost dropped his jaw in shock. As soon as he shouted out loud, he realized that something was wrong, so he quickly covered his mouth and sat down.

But my legs still couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Zhang Yuhui even took out an old-fashioned keypad phone from his pocket and walked towards the door with his back bent.

"I'll tell the school about the situation first."

The smile on his face never disappeared for a second. Together with the gold medals of the other three team members, this time we won a total of five gold medals, two places in the national training team, and the remaining four silver medals and second prizes.

This result is already excellent for their provincial team.

As the list of winners was announced, the closing ceremony finally came to the penultimate award ceremony.

Different from those places in society where people specially hire many pretty etiquette ladies, the people in charge of bringing up the medals are all middle school students. The principal, professors, examiner and city leaders personally put the medals on the winners and take photos with them.

When it was the turn of the gold medal winner to go on stage, Xu Yuan discovered that the person presenting the award to him was Ma Zhiming, chairman of the Mathematics Council and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

When I shook hands cordially with the other party, I could vaguely hear a word of encouragement.

"come on."

It makes people feel shocked.

When the award ceremony for nearly three hundred people was over, it was almost noon.

Finally, the principal of Xingcheng No. 1 Middle School handed over the flag to the next organizer, announcing the successful completion of this mathematics winter camp for middle school students.

……

……

"It seems that Professor Tang really cares about me. Now I can't run away even if I want to."

On the way back to the provincial capital, Xu Yuan looked at the pile of mathematics textbooks and journals in front of him, and still felt surprised when he thought about what happened at noon.

When he was about to return, Tang Shihong suddenly came over and gave him a very heavy bag.

When I opened it in the car, I found that it was all math materials.

Moreover, many of the journal articles are related to number theory and Carmichael numbers.

Obviously, it must have taken a lot of effort to find all of these in Star City.

Although he did not dare to refuse the elder's gift, he was too embarrassed to choose Yenching University now, even though his goal from the beginning was Qinghua.

Considering that the journey would take several hours, he did not sit idle afterwards. He picked up a textbook on analytic number theory and began to study it carefully.

Lin Haoming and Li Mingliang also took a look at it, but soon put it back in place in disappointment.

After a whole afternoon of traveling, we finally arrived at the gate of the No. 1 Middle School in the provincial capital in the evening.

Before the car stopped completely, Xu Yuan saw through the car window that many people had gathered at the school gate. Among them were two tall men who might be physical education teachers, holding a red banner.

“Congratulations to our province’s outstanding students for their excellent performance in the National Winter Camp for Middle School Students in Mathematics.”

Zhang Yuhui had already notified everyone of their results that morning, so it was normal for the school to hold such a welcome ceremony.

Not long after.

The bus stopped and the doors opened.

Everyone got off the car one by one.

It was only then that Xu Yuan noticed that there were several very familiar figures in the crowd.

"sister?"

He murmured subconsciously and walked towards them quickly.

"Principal Sun and Teacher Wang, why are you here too?"

Xu Yuan approached and politely greeted Sun Xuehai and the class teacher Wang Qingtao, then turned his head to the two girls standing next to him. He was very surprised by their appearance.

"Sister, how did you know that I would be back today? Wouldn't your dormitory be closed at this time?"

"It's Saturday and I have nothing to do. I can stay at Lingling's house tonight." Xu Ying waved her hand and said a few words to dispel Xu Yuan's concerns. Then she fixed her eyes on her brother's neck: "Xiao Yuan, show me your gold medal."

Because before getting off the bus, Zhang Yuhui specifically asked everyone to wear their medals, saying that it would be convenient for taking photos with school leaders later.

Hearing this, Xu Yuan naturally didn't think much about it and directly took off the medal and handed it to his sister.
