“l told you! The difficulty of this paper might be very challenging for the students of your school. However, for our school’s students, it might be rather straightforward. Just like our school’s Ye Lengan. She only needed half an hour to complete this test paper and still secured first place. Doesn’t this indicate a difference in skill?”
Principal Zhou’s expression grew even less pleasant, and he couldn’t maintain his smile any longer. “It seems your school truly has an abundance of talent! I hadn’t heard of this Ye Lengan from your school before.”
If he had known that Shengan High School had a student like this, he would have tried to recruit her a long time ago. There would be no need for Zheng Anyang to be boastful.
“Principal, Ye Lengan didn’t just take first place; she scored a perfect one!” Qian Tong continued, “l knew it, Ye Leng’an’s level is exceptionally high! It’s been said that the questions this time were genuinely difficult, but she still managed to achieve a perfect score.”
After hearing Qian Tongs words, Zheng Anyang became even happier but also much calmer. Earlier, he had already underestimated Ye Lengan.
Just as they were conversing, an elderly man wearing black-framed glasses, who looked scholarly, walked towards them.
Upon seeing the elderly man, the tense atmosphere between Zheng Anyang and Principal Zhou immediately dissipated, and both of them revealed respectful expressions as they greeted him. “Elder Sun!”
Elder Sun was not an ordinary person. He served as the dean of Capital
University’s Mathematics Department and the dean of the National Mathematics Research Center. He could be considered the representative figure of the entire mathematics community of this country and a renowned mathematician on the international stage.
In this country, anyone involved in mathematics regarded Elder Sun as a role model.
Usually, Elder Sun rarely made public appearances. The fact that he had suddenly appeared here was quite surprising.
“You must be Principal Zheng, right?” Elder Sun, devoid of arrogance, appeared particularly calm and affable when addressing Zheng Anyang. “You are the principal of Shengan High School, right?”
“Yes, Elder Sun, nice to meet you.” Zheng Anyangs attitude was highly respectful. “You can call me Xiao Zheng.”
He had a faint inkling that Elder Sun had come to see him this time due to Ye Lengan. After all, the competition had just concluded, and Ye Lengan had achieved such an exceptional result, making her a likely candidate for Elder
Sun’s attention.
However, he truly hadn’t expected that Elder Sun would appear for a math competition. In previous Mathematical Olympiad competitions, Elder Sun had never made an appearance.
Principal Zhou, standing on the side, appeared surprised and somewhat uneasy. This was because their school’s student Li Quan had held the top position for the past two years, yet Elder Sun never showed up. Now, Ye Lengan from Shengan High School had secured the top position once by chance, and she had already garnered Elder Sun’s attention.
“Xiao Zheng, I’ve come here this time to meet Ye Lengan from your school.” Elder Sun smiled and continued, “Her performance this time was truly outstanding. ”
“Well…” Zheng Anyangs face showed signs of difficulty, and he didn’t know how to respond.
For one, Ye Lengan had already left, and she wasn’t here, Secondly, he wasn’t certain whether Ye Lengan would be willing to meet Elder Sun. After all, Ye Lengan was different from other students. He truly couldn’t make decisions on her behalf. He also feared that if he came across as too forceful, Ye Lengan might choose to transfer schools.
He knew that Principal Zhou would undoubtedly be tempted after finding out about Ye Leng’an’s existence.
“Is there any inconvenience?” Seeing Zheng Anyangs expression, Elder Sun showed no signs of anger. Instead, he spoke politely, “If you encounter any difficulties, just let me know.”
“Elder Sun, it would be Ye Leng’an’s honor to meet you. However, this student is a bit different from the others.” Zheng Anyang could only muster the courage to continue, “She left after submitting her paper, and even if I try to contact her now, there’s a high chance she won’t come.”
“l see!” Elder Sun remained completely untroubled. He even nodded in agreement. “l understand that these brilliant students can be somewhat arrogant.. May I ask if it would be convenient for me to visit your school to meet her?”
