Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 127 I'll ask again
After finishing the advanced algebra exam, the only subject left in the mathematics department's midterm exam season is geometry.
The geometry exam is on the 12th, which is the day after tomorrow.
Li Li and the other two returned to the dormitory. This time they remained silent and did not ask Chen Zhou any questions on the examination paper.
Chen Zhou took the initiative to ask: "Li Li, how were the results of your team's two group training sessions? "
Li Li replied: " It's okay overall. This is the first time for us to participate in this kind of teamwork competition, so we are a little unfamiliar with it. I feel that time has been wasted in many places."
Chen Zhou agreed and said, "After all, if we don't have a team that has been training for a long time, we really can't allocate work and time perfectly."
"Yeah." After a pause, Li Li asked again, "I heard that you were praised by your instructor?"
Chen Zhou said puzzledly: "No, Teacher Ma asked us to summarize again and distribute the work more reasonably."
Li Li frowned and asked, "Didn't you say you had a chance to win the gold medal?"
Chen Zhou was slightly stunned, then nodded: "I think he said something like this , I didn't take it too seriously."
Li Li: “…”
Next, Chen Zhou and Li Li discussed some issues about work allocation, but as they were talking, Li Li stopped talking.
What the hell is this discussion about? You're carrying the whole game, and I'm running out of time. There's nothing to discuss...
"Hey, brothers, have you paid attention to this news?" Zhao Qiqi's voice broke the silence between Chen Zhou and Li Li.
The two men came up to Zhao Qiqi and took a look.
This is news about the 6th College Students Mathematics Competition in Qiu Sai in 2015.
The news said that the registration time for the Qiu competition has been advanced to December this year, and the competition time has been advanced to March next year.
Chen Zhou asked: "Qi Qi, are you ready to sign up?"
Zhao Qiqi nodded: "Well, you still need to participate in some competitions. And unlike CMC, you don't have to wait until your sophomore year to participate in Qiu competitions. Are you going to sign up? We can also form a team and sign up for the group competition."
Zhu Mingli asked: "Aren't there five people in the team competition? We are still one person short."
Zhao Qiqi: "Yeah, we have to find someone that everyone is familiar with."
As Zhao Qiqi said this, he glanced at Chen Zhou.
Chen Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Shall I ask Yiyi?"
Zhao Qiqi turned her head instantly without saying anything.
Chen Zhou touched his nose and explained, "Although Yiyi is a student of the Department of Physics, she is not bad at math, and she is also self-studying our math courses. There is no rule in this Qiu competition that prohibits students from the Department of Physics from participating."
Just when Chen Zhou was about to say something more, his cell phone rang.
Looking at the caller ID, Chen Zhou was a little surprised. It was actually the counselor calling.
After answering the phone, Chen Zhou said politely, "Hello, Mr. Huang."
Huang Yemei asked directly: "Chen Zhou, where are you? In the dormitory?"
Chen Zhou replied: "I'm in the dormitory, what's wrong?"
"I have something to talk to you about. I'll be at your dormitory soon. Don't rush to the library. Wait for me for a while." Huang Yemei said.
"Oh, okay."
After saying that, the phone hung up.
Not long after, there was a knock on the dormitory door.
Chen Zhou opened the door and saw counselor Huang Yemei standing at the door.
"Teacher Huang, please come in."
In the dormitory, Chen Zhou and his friends had already cleaned up and hid all the things that shouldn't be there.
Zhao Qiqi pulled over a chair and asked the counselor to sit down.
Huang Yemei said: "I came here to tell you something. It just so happens that you are all here, so listen."
As she spoke, Huang Yemei noticed the news on Zhao Qiqi's computer, walked over to the computer, pointed at the news about Qiu Sai, and said, "Are you paying attention to this too?"
Chen Zhou replied: "I just saw it."
Zhao Qiqi and others nodded.
"That's perfect, I was just about to say this. Well, are you all planning to sign up?" Huang Yemei asked.
Chen Zhou and the others looked at each other and said, "Get ready to sign up."
"That's fine. Originally, the leader assigned me a task and asked me to mobilize several outstanding students to sign up for the competition. Now that you all plan to sign up, I don't have to do the mobilization work." Huang Yemei explained.
After saying that, Huang Yemei looked at Chen Zhou and said with a hint of meaning: "Since you are ready to sign up, then prepare well and get a good ranking."
Chen Zhou met Huang Yemei's gaze, feeling slightly puzzled.
Huang Yemei asked again: "There are only four people in your dormitory. For the team competition, there is still one person missing. Do you need the teacher to find someone for you?"
Chen Zhou said: "Don't bother the teacher, we will find it ourselves."
Zhao Qiqi also said: "Yes, teacher, we can get people by ourselves."
Zhu Mingli and Li Li looked at Zhao Qiqi. This person didn't seem to be like this just now?
Huang Yemei smiled upon hearing this: "It seems that you have been prepared for this, and it saves the teacher some work, which is great."
Chen Zhou and others laughed along.
Huang Yemei asked about the midterm exam and said that the midterm exam would be linked to the scholarship, so it should be taken seriously.
Finally, Chen Zhou was pulled out alone.
Outside the dormitory building, Huang Yemei said, "Chen Zhou, I heard about your situation from Professor Wu."
Chen Zhou was slightly stunned. What was going on? What did Professor Wu say?
Huang Yemei didn't notice Chen Zhou's expression. She continued, "Do you have a specific plan? For example, when do you plan to apply for a research project independently, and when do you plan to graduate from Yanda? Have you thought about all these clearly?"
Chen Zhou was a little puzzled. How did Wu Xiping know that he was planning to do the project independently?
But since Huang Yemei asked, Chen Zhou also asked logically: "Teacher Huang, what are the requirements for applying for a research project independently at Yanda? Or can I directly publish the results in a journal?"
Huang Yemei was slightly surprised when she heard what Chen Zhou said: "If you can complete a research project independently and successfully publish it in a journal, that would be the best. This way, you won't take up the school's project quota and funds. Because for undergraduates, it's difficult to get approval for school project applications."
After a pause, she added: "Of course, if you plan to apply for a research project from the school, I suggest you ask Professor Wu Xiping for help."
"I understand, Professor Huang." Chen Zhou roughly understood what Huang Yemei meant. Without the professor's help, he would not be able to apply for project funding from the school.
Huang Yemei nodded and said, "Regarding the competition we just talked about, you should work hard to get a good ranking, preferably a gold medal, which will be good for your early graduation."
"Is the competition related to graduation?" Chen Zhou asked.
"It's not hooked, but it's useful." Huang Yemei didn't explain much.
After thinking for a while, Chen Zhou asked again: "Teacher Huang, if I also minor in physics and want to graduate early, what are the conditions?"
Huang Yemei looked at Chen Zhou for a long time without saying anything, and finally said: "I'll ask again."
Then, Huang Yemei left, wearing a pair of beautiful sandals.
