“Tang Wan, what did you get for the average?”
“Zhao Heng…”
Each student could be picked on, scolded until they doubted their own lives.
“Song Yinzhang.”
Tang Wan and Xie Zhen looked up with red eyes, hoping Song God would have no issues.
“You need to strengthen your logic skills. Olympiad mathematics is different from your high school math. I’ll emphasize it once more; change your usual logical thinking method.”
Unexpectedly, even Song God got scolded, and the other students felt a bit more balanced. It wasn’t just them who had issues.
“Zhu Mingjing.”
That was the last name called.
Everyone looked at Ming Jing simultaneously.
She stood up slowly and composedly, her expression far too calm compared to the nervousness of the others receiving their test papers.
Xie Zhen whispered, “Even Song God got scolded; she won’t be an exception either. I found Ren Chuan to be a bit biased against girls, scolding them even more harshly. Just wait and see how bad he scolds her.”
Tang Wan curled her lips, “Beating Song God once was a fluke, but can she do it every time?”
Ren Chuan picked up the large, earthy water tank and took a sip of water to moisten his throat. Everyone thought he was about to blow up, even Zhu Xiangxiang was prepared to watch the show.
Zhao Heng nervously pinched her hand for Ming Jing. The poor girl couldn’t take such harsh words from Ren Chuan.
Ren Chuan put down the tea tank, picked up the last test paper, shook it, and glanced at the girl standing in front of him.
“Have you ever taken an Olympiad Mathematics class before?”
Ren Chuan’s words left everyone baffled, not following the usual pattern anymore.
Ren Chuan frowned, “Never at all?”
Ming Jing nodded, “Yes, teacher.”
Ren Chuan’s gaze gradually deepened as he stared into Ming Jing’s eyes while she calmly looked back.
“Very well, you got the highest score in this test. The only mistake you made was related to higher mathematics, which is usually taught in college. It’s normal not to be able to solve it. Pass this test paper around, look at the difference between yourselves and Ming Jing, her problem-solving approach is interesting. It’s not that you can’t do it, but that you can’t even think of it. This is the kind of thinking Olympiad Mathematics should have, not being rigid or conservative.”
Everyone was shocked; he was actually praising Ming Jing.
For a moment, everyone’s gaze at Ming Jing changed.
Ming Jing remained unchanged even after hearing the strict teacher’s praise. Her composed and unyielding demeanor made Ren Chuan regard her with newfound respect.
Zhu Xiangxiang gripped her test paper with her heart bleeding.
Xie Zhen whispered, “She’s so amazing, even Teacher Ren praised her.” Tang Wan snorted, “It’s just a fluke.”
“This is not a fluke. We all know how difficult the test was. Her getting the highest score is proof of her strength. She’s really perfect.” Xie Zhen admired Ming Jing.
After school, Ming Jing shouldered her backpack and left the classroom, and Song Yinzhang quickly caught up to her.
“Is your sister alright now?” Song Yinzhang asked.
“She’s fine now. She’s doing very well.”
“That’s good. I’m sorry I couldn’t offer any help yesterday.”
“It has nothing to do with you. Don’t blame yourself.”
As the two of them walked out of the school gate, Ming Jing paused and said, “This weekend, I’m inviting Mr. Shen out for dinner. Since Mr. Jiao also helped me yesterday, please let him know about this weekend’s gathering and ask him to accompany Mr. Shen as a token of my gratitude.”
Song Yinzhang raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then nodded, “Alright, I’ll definitely pass along your message.”
“If you have time, you should join us, too.”
Song Yinzhang smiled, “So many people want to have dinner with Mr. Shen but don’t have the opportunity. Thank you for giving me this chance.”
A white sedan slowly pulled up in front of them, and Ming Jing waved, “See you tomorrow.”
Zhao Heng ran out, but she could only see the car’s tailpipe smoke.
When Song Yinzhang returned home, he told Jiao Mei about Ming Jing’s invitation to accompany Shen Zhou this weekend. Jiao Mei was quite surprised.
“Yinzhang, do you think this Ms. Zhu already knew Shen beforehand? I always feel there’s something unusual about their relationship.”
Song Yinzhang laughed, “Whether she knew him before or not, she’s inviting you to accompany her. Are you going to refuse?”
“I’d be foolish to refuse. Our museum needs Shen’s investment for the new exhibition hall. I’ve been worried about how to find an opportunity to invite him to dinner. It’s like a pillow when you’re sleepy. At first, I thought this Ms. Zhu was a bit arrogant, but now I think she has excellent interpersonal skills. This is her way of giving me face. Quite extraordinary for someone her age.”
“But I’m curious, Shen Zhou is not a person who likes social engagements. Apart from his friends, nobody can invite him. Yesterday, Ms. Zhu casually mentioned it, and he immediately agreed. I find it quite surprising..”
