Volume 1: Student Life Chapter 185 Dinner
Chen Zhou finally returned to the banquet table and sat down. With the help of Yang Yiyi, he quickly took off the row of gold medals from his neck.
Chen Zhou took it in his hand and took a look. This thing is really heavy. I just don't know what material it is made of, and whether it is valuable...
"What are you thinking about?" Yang Yiyi asked softly.
"Uh... nothing..." Chen Zhou came back to his senses and glanced at the podium. "It should be the turn of the analysis and differential equations class soon."
Unlike Chen Zhou, who won gold medals in five subjects, the silver and bronze medals in the remaining subjects were awarded on a subject-by-subject basis.
And now on the podium, three gold medals and six bronze medals in the algebra, combinatorics and number theory groups are being awarded.
Naturally, it was impossible for the award presenter to send out Mr. Qiu and the chairmen of each subject to present the awards at once as Chen Zhou had done before.
The awards for the silver and bronze medals in the Algebra, Combinatorics and Number Theory group were presented by the members of this group's subcommittee.
Yang Yiyi nodded: "Look at the process from the algebra group to the analysis group, then to the applied combinatorial probability and analysis group, and finally the geometry and topology group."
"Huh? You still need a process?" Chen Zhou asked curiously.
From the time he came in to the time the awards were presented, he didn't see any process sheet or anything like that?
"Look, the staff gave it to you after you went on stage." Yang Yiyi handed the process sheet to Chen Zhou.
Chen Zhou took it and looked at it, and found something wrong: "Why is the arrangement of this process sheet different from the actual situation?"
Yang Yiyi explained with a smile: "Except for you, everything else is still the same."
"Uh..." Chen Zhou took another look, "Okay, this is picking me out alone..."
What Chen Zhou didn't know was that this process sheet had already been printed earlier based on past experience.
The award ceremony process for the previous Qiu competitions was basically the same as on the process sheet.
That is, starting from the individual competition, awards will be presented in order according to subjects, and the team competition awards will be presented last.
Of course, in this process, the gold, silver and bronze medals are awarded together, while the individual all-around award is separate.
But today, because of Chen Zhou’s special situation, the event committee specially arranged such an award ceremony process.
But these process sheets have already been printed. If they are changed, it would be difficult to manage the time and it would be a waste of time.
In the end, the event committee considered that only Chen Zhou was awarded a separate award , and the others still followed the process sheet, so they continued to use this process sheet.
While Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi were talking, the award ceremony for the algebra group on the podium had ended, and the award ceremony for the analysis group was about to begin.
Li Li and the other two, who had just come down with silver medals, walked towards the podium with Yang Yiyi.
Although Yang Yiyi did not win the gold medal, she won the silver medals in Analysis and Differential Equations and Geometry and Topology as expected.
The dust has settled on this competition, and it has also put an end to the voting posts on the Yanda campus network and Weibo, as well as the discussion about who between Chen and Yang would win the gold medal.
As Chen Zhou and four others stood on the podium again and received the trophy symbolizing the gold medal from Mr. Qiu, the award ceremony of the 6th Qiu Chengtong College Student Mathematics Competition came to an end.
Unlike the medals in the individual competition, there is only one trophy in the team competition, which is a gold medal trophy.
The trophy is not the sole property of the team, but will be kept in rotation with each gold medal winning team.
So, during the dinner, Chen Zhou half-jokingly said, "Li Li, Qi Qi, Lao Zhu, bring two people next year and keep this trophy."
Li Li and Zhu Mingli looked at each other, then looked at Chen Zhou: "We will try our best."
Zhao Qiqi just kept looking at Chen Zhou without saying anything.
Chen Zhou smiled and didn't intend to pursue this topic any further.
He also believed that Li Li and the other two were still capable, and that as long as they brought two similar teammates next year, there shouldn't be any problems.
After all, their team almost won all the gold and silver medals in the individual competition as expected in the post on the Yanda campus website.
They were just one silver medal away.
However, even so, Yenching University is still the biggest winner of this Qiu competition.
There are a total of 5 individual gold medals, 14 silver medals, 16 bronze medals, 1 individual all-around award, and 1 team gold medal.
It is far superior to any other participating university in China.
When the dinner started, Chen Zhou found himself a little overwhelmed.
These participating candidates and the teachers who lead the teams are really enthusiastic.
One after another came over to try to get close to Chen Zhou.
During the conversation, when they learned that Chen Zhou was still a freshman, they were all shocked again.
They immediately thought, they are only freshmen now, how many Qiu competitions can they participate in?
Not only the Qiu Mathematics Competition, but also the National College Mathematics Competition, he has participated in many competitions related to college mathematics competitions.
Doesn't that mean I won't have to think about the gold medal anymore?
This guy took If he participates in more competitions, they will just get to watch the show, right?
Thinking about it, they suddenly felt a little sad. Before Chen Zhou appeared, although it was a little difficult for them to win the gold medal, they could still think about it.
But after Chen Zhou showed up, they felt like they were aiming for the silver medal when they participated in the competition...
Therefore, during the registration period for every college mathematics competition thereafter, many people were asking whether Chen Zhou would participate.
Of course, this was also due to the fact that Chen Zhou and Li Li spoke in too low a voice. They did not know that Chen Zhou would not participate in math competitions again.
Halfway through the dinner, Chen Zhou, Yang Yiyi and three other people, as the gold medal-winning team, went over to clink glasses with Mr. Qiu and the professors who were presenting the awards.
The purpose of holding the award ceremony and dinner together is to allow outstanding candidates to have more exchanges and communication with professors.
It can also pave the way for further studies in the future.
Of course, Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi were probably the only ones here who clinked glasses purely out of politeness.
But to Chen Zhou's surprise, he found himself like a sheep in a den of wolves.
Aren’t these professors a little too enthusiastic?
In addition, there were journalists taking photos at the scene, so Chen Zhou seemed very embarrassed.
It's different from being the top scorer in the college entrance examination and being fought over by all the major universities. This feeling of being fought over by the big guys is a bit floating~
Like Chen Zhou, Yang Yiyi is also cared for by professors in the analysis and geometry fields.
Because Yang Yiyi's final scores in these two subjects were second only to Chen Zhou.
However, they didn't expect that Yang Yiyi would calmly refuse and said that she was a student of physics, not mathematics.
After hearing these words, not only were the professors stunned, but even Mr. Qiu cast a surprised look.
The journalists were trying to catch a piece of news and were clicking their shutters.
After a lot of effort, Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi finally politely left the professors' table.
The two of them returned to their table hand in hand, and at this moment, everyone at their table tried to get close to them.
Li Li and the other two who went with the two of them have not returned yet.
Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi smiled at each other and shook their heads slightly.
Just as Chen Zhou and Yang Yiyi were hiding at their tables, eating comfortably, chatting and cultivating their feelings.
Someone who Chen Zhou had expected but didn't expect to come directly over walked to their table.
Chen Zhou looked up at Professor Zhang Shouwu who was smiling at him, and said softly, "Professor Zhang, you're looking for me?"
