Hearing these words, Zheng Anyang was greatly honored, and he quickly responded, “Absolutely, it’s convenient.”
“Excellent.” Elder Sun gave a nod and added, “Then it’s settled. I’ll visit your school tomorrow to meet Student Ye Lengan.”
With that, Elder Sun turned to leave.
“Elder Sun, please wait,” Principal Zhou, who had been quiet until now, suddenly spoke.
Hearing the voice, Elder Sun turned back, looking at Principal Zhou with a hint of curiosity. “You are…”
He genuinely didn’t recognize the person before him. It was impossible to know everyone from all the participating schools. He only knew about Zheng Anyang because he had inquired. However, he wasn’t interested in meeting Zheng Anyang but rather Ye Lengan.
“Elder Sun, I’m the principal of Capital No. 1 High School. You can call me Xiao Zhou,” Principal Zhou replied with a smile. ‘You should have some impression of our school’s student, Li Quan. He won the Mathematical Olympiad in the past two years. He’s here today, and you’ve always been his role model. Would you have time to meet him? By the way, he has already been granted early admission to Capital University’s Mathematics Department. In September this year, he will become a student at your university.”
He couldn’t believe that Ye Lengan could compare to Li Quan. Ye Lengan had only secured the championship this year, while Li Quan had won the championship consecutively for two years. Even though he didn’t get first place this time, he still achieved second place. Such a track record was undoubtedly much better than what Ye Lengan had accomplished.
“l see.” Elder Sun replied with some waning interest. “Your student seems quite capable. However, I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now.”
As Elder Sun was about to leave, Principal Zhou felt a bit of dissatisfaction and said, “Elder Sun, my student, Li Quan, is far more outstanding than that Ye
Lengan. If you meet him, you won’t regret it, I’m sure.”
“Do you know why you want to meet Ye Leng’an?” Elder Sun didn’t respond to Principal Zhou’s statement; instead, he posed a somewhat unrelated question.
Principal Zhou remained silent, clearly unaware.
Even Zheng Anyang, standing nearby, was equally puzzled. The Mathematical Olympiad had been held for many years, yet Elder Sun’s participation had never been heard of, let alone his desire to meet the first-place student afterward.
Elder Sun proceeded to explain, “This time’s Mathematical Olympiad was unquestionably the most challenging ever. But do you know why it was so difficult? It’s because, in this competition, I set the final question. It was a problem just recently resolved in the history of mathematics. Until recently, it remained an unsolved problem in the world of mathematics. Just a month ago, a German mathematician managed to solve it. However, the steps required to solve the problem are quite intricate. Nevertheless, even so, it created quite a stir in the mathematical community. On a whim, I included this mathematical problem, and the only person who managed to solve it was Ye Lengan. Most importantly, her approach to solving it was simpler and more straightforward than the German mathematician’s. Do you understand what this means? Once Ye Leng’an’s method is publicized, it will create a sensation in the entire field of mathematics.’
Elder Sun’s face flushed with excitement as he spoke. His enthusiasm was evident.
Upon hearing these words, both Zheng Anyang and Principal Zhou were left speechless, completely taken aback. Clearly, they hadn’t considered this possibility.
Not far away, Ye Xiyuan, who had been listed on the honor roll, had turned pale. She not only failed to secure first place but didn’t even make it into the top ten.
She hadn’t anticipated such a result.
Before leaving in the morning, she had made a solemn promise to her parents, asserting that she would undoubtedly clinch the top spot this time. Yet, the outcome now was that she hadn’t even made the top ten.
Moreover, the person who had secured first place was the one she despised the most. Such a stark comparison was hard for her to accept.
Most importantly, she had accepted a task from the system earlier. Now that her mission had failed, did it mean her punishment was about to begin?
Failure in this mission would result in the system taking back all the intelligence bonuses it had previously awarded her. She had felt a decline in her cognitive abilities before. Was the system’s punishment already underway?
She was truly eager to get in touch with the system and gain a clear understanding. However, she couldn’t establish contact no matter how hard she tried.
She couldn’t fathom how she would manage if she lost her intelligence bonus in the future. Currently, she was one of the top students in the school, and everyone praised her. If her performance suddenly plummeted, how would others perceive her? Furthermore, she was soon to represent her familys company in a fashion design competition. Now that she had lost her intelligence bonus, did she still stand a chance of winning?
As she contemplated these thoughts, she felt like her world was collapsing.
Her only thought at the moment was to urgently contact the system and seek a clear explanation.
While people around discussed the Mathematical Olympiad, no one paid attention to the pale-faced Ye Xiyuan. And even if they did, they wouldn’t think much of it. After all, each year, there were always a few who couldn’t accept the results.
Presently, everyone was discussing the sudden emergence of the first-place winner, Ye Lengan.
This was because the leading candidate for the championship this time was Li Quan from Capital No. 1 High School. Everyone knew that Li Quan was highly gifted in mathematics; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to secure the championship for two consecutive years.
They had assumed that Li Quan would also clinch the championship this time, marking a triumphant end to his high school journey with three consecutive victories. Unexpectedly, in this final year, Ye Lengan from Shengan High
School managed to seize the title. However, everyone was truly intrigued by Ye Lengan, especially after hearing that she had submitted her paper just thirty minutes into the exam. Achieving full marks on such a challenging paper in such a brief timeframe couldn’t help but arouse curiosity. Although people discussed the matter, not seeing the key figure dampened their enthusiasm..
