Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 170: Has anyone submitted their paper early?
Yang Yiyi only heard it when she got closer.
The person in charge of the test center is saying, "How is it? My suggestion is not bad, right?"
Chen Zhou smiled and shook his head, then said: "Qiu Contest does allow you to meet many excellent mathematics professors from domestic and foreign universities. I think it is better to simply use it as a way to communicate and learn."
"As for whether you like a professor and want to study abroad at that professor's school, it's better to just let things take their own course."
"But this opportunity..."
The person in charge of the Morningside Mathematics Center wanted to say something else, but Chen Zhou interrupted him with a smile: "Professor Shang, you can try to talk to her."
After saying that, Chen Zhou looked at Yang Yiyi who was walking over.
Professor Shang, one of the persons in charge of the examination center, naturally also noticed Yang Yiyi, the second person to hand in his paper.
He was a little surprised. This was the first time that two candidates in a row submitted their papers early at the Morningside Mathematics Center.
Moreover, he remembered that these two people seemed to be a team...
Professor Shang thought about it and decided to repeat what he had just said to Chen Zhou.
However, Yang Yiyi did not give him this opportunity. After she approached, she first greeted Professor Shang, one of the test site leaders of the Morningside Mathematics Center, with a smile.
Then he said, "Professor Shang, I heard your conversation. You don't have to try to tell me anything like Chen Zhou said. My views and opinions are exactly the same as Chen Zhou's."
Professor Shang was slightly stunned, and then asked: "Why? Don't you cherish this opportunity?"
Yang Yiyi chuckled and said, "Well, it's not that I don't cherish it... Actually, I'm a student in the Department of Physics at Yan University, and I don't plan to switch to mathematics, so I'll leave this opportunity to someone who needs it more."
Professor Shang was stunned again when he heard Yang Yiyi's words. What was going on? A student from the Department of Physics came to participate in a professional mathematics competition and handed in his paper early and left?
Thinking of this, he looked at Chen Zhou again.
Chen Zhou understood what he meant and said with a smile: "Professor Shang, I am a student of the Department of Mathematics at Yan University..."
However, before Professor Shang, one of the persons in charge of the Mathematics Center, could breathe a sigh of relief, Chen Zhou said, "But, well, I'm planning to minor in physics..."
Professor Shang looked at Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi strangely, as if to say, are you kidding me? A physics student, a student who wants to transfer to the physics department, why are they here to join in the fun?
Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi smiled at each other, then they greeted Professor Shang and walked out of the Morningside Mathematics Center.
There will only be team exams this morning, and two individual exams in the afternoon.
They are Analysis and Partial Differential Equations from 2:30 pm to 5 pm and Probability and Statistics from 6:30 pm to 9 pm.
Tomorrow we will study the remaining three subjects: Geometry and Topology, Algebra and Number Theory, and Applied and Computational Mathematics .
The exam time corresponds to today's team competition and the individual competition that will begin in the afternoon.
The examination time for each subject is two and a half hours.
Walking out of the door of Morningside Mathematics Center, Chen Zhou looked at his watch. There was still more than half an hour before the entire team competition exam would be over.
So Chen Zhou said, "Let's go, Yiyi, we won't wait for them . According to my experience, these three people will definitely wait until the end before handing in their papers."
Yang Yiyi nodded, and then thought of what Professor Shang had just said, so she asked, "I am indeed a student of the Department of Physics, but you are also a student of the Department of Mathematics. What Professor Shang said is not wrong. What do you think?"
" Actually , I haven't thought about it yet..." Chen Zhou said thoughtfully.
After Chen Zhou finished speaking, he glanced at Yang Yiyi and suddenly added with a smile: "But, as long as I'm good enough, am I still afraid that no one will want me?"
Chen Zhou deliberately emphasized the second half of the sentence.
Hearing this, Yang Yiyi blushed slightly and spat softly: "Who wants you..."
Chen Zhou didn't say anything, but just smiled, stretched out his hand, took Yang Yiyi's hand, and left the Morningside Mathematics Center.
In the Mathematics Center, Professor Shang looked at the two people leaving with a slightly frown.
Then, he slowly walked to the door of classroom 1308, pretended to be patrolling the exam, and walked in.
After a quick glance, Professor Shang did not see the test papers of Chen Zhou and the other person.
He then turned his gaze to an invigilator inside and gave him a wink.
The invigilator understood, quietly walked to Professor Shang's side, and asked in a low voice: "Dean Shang, what's the matter?"
Professor Shang leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Where are the papers of those two students who handed in their papers early?"
The invigilator reached behind his back and took out the test papers of Chen Zhou and the other examiner: "Director Shang, the test papers are here. What's wrong?"
It turned out that after Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi handed in their papers early, considering the impact on other candidates, the invigilator collected the test papers and kept them in his hands.
Professor Shang glanced at the two people's test papers and said, "Show me the girl's test paper."
The invigilator identified it and handed Yang Yiyi's test paper to Professor Shang.
Professor Shang took it and looked at it carefully.
The more Professor Shang looked, the more surprised he was. He felt that Yang Yiyi's ideas, steps and calculation methods for solving problems were extremely similar to Chen Zhou's.
He had already reviewed all of Chen Zhou's test papers during his previous inspection.
There was no other way. Chen Zhou kept writing without stopping from the moment he started answering the questions.
Naturally, it attracted his attention, and he finished reading it immediately...
This led to the conversation between the two after Chen Zhou handed in his paper.
After reading Yang Yiyi's test paper, Professor Shang returned it to the invigilator and walked out of classroom 1308 silently.
"Are students in the physics department so good at math now? They are even better than many students in the math department..." Professor Shang muttered as he walked. "And Chen Zhou, a student who is so good at math, why did he transfer to the physics department?"
Professor Shang immediately thought of something wrong: "No, he said it seemed like he was minoring in physics, I heard it wrong... But this... This kid is studying both mathematics and physics at Yanda?! How is this possible? How could these two ' madhouses ' agree to this?"
"Lao Shang? Lao Shang? Shang Cunjiu, what are you mumbling about?"
Professor Shang Cunjiu's thoughts were finally interrupted by a familiar voice.
He looked up and saw another person in charge of the Morningside Mathematics Center test site, Professor Wang Jinfei.
Shang Cunjiu hurriedly pulled Wang Jinfei aside and asked, "Old Wang, are there any students in 1318 who have submitted their papers early?"
Wang Jinfei was slightly stunned, then shook his head: "You know that even if the questions of these children participating in the competition are very simple, they will not hand in their papers in advance after they finish them."
Shang Cunjiu smiled mysteriously: "I have it."
Wang Jinfei said in disbelief: "What? Submitting the paper early? How is that possible? You are trying to scare me again."
Shang Cunjiu didn't explain, but directly pulled Wang Jinfei and quietly pretended to be inspecting the exam and walked into classroom 1308.
After a long while, when the exam was almost over, the two of them walked out of classroom 1308.
"Wow, these two students have great potential." Wang Jinfei expressed his feelings.
Shang Cunjiu nodded, then said with some regret: "It does have great potential, but..."
Wang Jinfei asked in confusion: "But what?"
Shang Cunjiu told his old brother everything that had happened before, as well as his own guesses and doubts.
After hearing Shang Cunjiu's words, Wang Jinfei looked at him in disbelief: "Could it be that all the students in the Physics Department transferred from the Mathematics Department?"
Shang Cunjiu glanced at him unhappily: "Is that how you feel?"
Wang Jinfei: "What else?"
After saying that, he paused for a moment and said slowly, "Let's not get involved in this matter. Perhaps these two students are special cases in Yan University and may have been noticed by certain people. If we get involved, it may not be beneficial. Besides..."
He didn't finish what he said next, but he believed his old friend could understand.
Sure enough, after listening to it, Shang Cunjiu glanced at him and nodded silently: "Let's wait until the final interview."
