Chapter 51: Shang Yi (Part 3)

When Yu Chengze was reading the test paper, he noticed that Lin Qingyin’s problem-solving thoughts were very clear. When explaining the test question, he deliberately asked a few super-program questions on the blackboard. While many students were still confused, Lin Qingyin has already got the answer.

Yu Chengze felt that Lin Qingyin was really talented in mathematics.

There were a lot of high school competitions. But their private high school had never participated in any of them before. But seeing a student like Lin Qingyin, Yu Chengze’s heart was a little moved. He thought that Lin Qingyin may create a precedent for their Dongfang Private High School to participate in the Mathematical Olympics.

After talking about the test questions, Yu Chengze asked the students to correct their wrong answers. Then he called Lin Qingyin to the corridor to talk.

“Lin Qingyin, have you considered which university you will study and what major you will take in the future?”

Lin Qingyin thought for a while and said, “I haven’t thought of any university, but I want it to be in the capital city.”

Many people in the capital were smart, rich, and powerful. So it was good to go to the capital t study and earn money. As for major, Lin Qingyin already had a plan: “I plan to take the math department.”

The more Lin Qingyin learns mathematics, the more she realizes that many things in mathematics were inextricably related to numerology. Her knowledge of numerology has reached its peak. She needed new ideas and methods. Mathematics study met her request.

After hearing those words, Yu Chengze was ecstatic: “Then have you considered participating in the Mathematical Olympics?”

“Mathematics Olympics?” Lin Qingyin hesitated: “Are there any benefits in participating in this competition?”

Yu Chengze didn’t collect much information on this before, so he could only briefly introduce what he knew to Lin Qingyin: “The road to participating in this competition is difficult. You need to take all the three-year high school mathematics courses in a short time. After learning them all, you can participate in the selection, then you will have intensive training, and join math winter camps one after another. Only the final winner will have the chance to be sent to the best universities in the country. Or may even go abroad to represent the country and participate in world-class math competitions.”

Yu Chengze became more and more excited as he spoke. His eyes began to light up as if he had seen Lin Qingyin wearing the gold medal of the International Mathematical Olympics.

It’s just a pity, he hasn’t dream enough, but Lin Qingyin’s poured a basin of cold water at him.

“I don’t want to participate!”

Yu Chengze was stunned: “Why?”

Lin Qingyin asked earnestly: “The selections and training are not being conducted in our school right?”

Yu Chengze nodded in embarrassment. In the past, they didn’t even have the qualifications to participate, let alone undertake these activities. Had it not been for Lin Qingyin’s mathematical talent, he would have never even thought of such a thing!

Lin Qingyin said with a very serious expression: “The schools responsible for conducting intensive training or hosting winter camps don’t have a good canteen like our school, right?”

Yu Chengze was helpless. There were very few students who compare their school canteen to the school in the whole world. It was only their principal who thought of organizing eight major cuisines in the canteen. After all, people go to school to learn and improve their knowledge, not to eat, right?

However, seeing that the Little Master cares so much about this matter, Yu Chengze can only explain patiently: “Although it is not as good as our school canteen, it can definitely guarantee the nutritional balance intake of the students. There must be a combination of meat and vegetables!”

Lin Qingyin secretly laughed. What’s the use of combining meat and vegetables? She only likes meat!

“Teacher Yu, I can see that if I participate in this competition, I will have to concentrate on exams and training, which means it will delay my fortune-telling sessions! What more, their canteen doesn’t have delicious food. So why should I go there?”

Lin Qingyin said so naturally. Yu Chengze didn’t know how to refute it for a while. After holding back for a long time, he emphasized the important part of many contestants again: “As long as you get through it until the end, you will have a chance to be recommended to the best Mathematics University Department in the country.”

Lin Qingyin looked innocent: “But I can pass the exam, so why should I go around such a big circle? It will only delay my fortune-telling business and affected my eating.”

Yu Chengze struggled due to unwillingly: “But I think your talent can represent the country to participate in the competition abroad. Don’t you want to go abroad to see the world?”

Lin Qingyin shook her head without hesitation: “I can’t speak English and foreigners abroad don’t understand fortune-telling. It’s not worth it. Also… …” Lin Qingyin showed a clear expression of disgust: “Foreign food is not delicious!”

Looking at Lin Qingyi’s expression, Yu Chengze wanted to cry in despair: Master, can you stop thinking about fortune-telling, nor worry about foods. We are talking about mathematics! Mathematics!

  1. — Thanks for the chapter~ ^^.

    True though, mc already has and can attain what she wants so why bother with those extra, lol.

  2. Thanks for the chapter!
    The teacher need to say about the prize money and possible scholarship for university instead of the glory lol

    1. Yeah, plus I highly doubt all the food the mc has eaten so far has only been from their country some of it has almost certainly been from other countries!

  3. Y’all have to be reminded that she thought the same of every earth foods. But the moment she tasted superb cooking, she changed her mind. She’ll definitely fall in love with foreign foods, if ever she gets to eat one. 🤣

    1. I agree with you. Remember when she’d only eaten her mother’s cooking and she thought ALL the food were disgusting/poisonous.

      So far, she has only eaten all kind of Chinese style of dishes and delicacies, ancient heritage recipes and modern recipes. It’s included the foreign rooted food such as chocolate. Consuming milk is NOT exclusive to western culture and ice making/ice cream making methods was also not exclusively invented by the western. In addition, some people equates all kind of roasting meat with BBQ while each regions all over the world have their own style, recipe(s), and its own term for it (roasting and boiling are the oldest method of cooking in human history).

      So, just give her a chance to eat some foreign authentic delicacies. She would change her mind fast. 😅
