From all-round academic master to chief scientist

Back in the classroom, it goes without saying that the students in the class were talking about it. All in all, Lin Xiao received a lot of congratulations from his classmates.

This is not over yet. During the morning recess, the school leaders announced the good news on the radio. It can be said that all possible publicity methods were used. It was just like the Qidian novel that was recommended by the entire website, and it took off immediately.

At this time, Lin Xiao was called to the principal's office again. Principal Hu and the school leaders all expressed congratulations to him.

"Classmate Lin Xiao, you have done a very good job. Jincheng Middle School is proud of you." Principal Hu smiled and gave Lin Xiao a thumbs up, and said kindly: "Of course, on behalf of Jincheng Middle School, I would like to thank you for what you have brought to the school." reputation."

Lin Xiao said with a smile: "I do it for myself, and teachers, classmates, and Principal Hu are all so kind to me. It is my hope to bring something to the school."

"Haha, you kid, you are quite good at talking." Principal Hu patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder, the smile on his face could not stop no matter what: "Of course, being able to talk is also good. In today's society, we still need to be able to talk. of."

"Well, there is no need to say more about this. Our Provincial Mathematics Association also sent congratulations this morning. Congratulations on your achievement. Our Provincial Department of Education also sent congratulations. The name of our school is also rare. Appearing on the list of provincial leaders is all due to you."

"In addition, Director Cao also called just now. Let me tell you that now that you have won the gold medal and entered the international training team, it means that you have received another 20,000 yuan reward. You will be rewarded with the 30,000 yuan in the future. I’ll give you the money together.”

Lin Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up.

Fifty thousand yuan, got it!

After that, entering the national team will directly double the number!

"Thank you, Principal Hu, thank you, Director Cao! My respect and love for you is like a torrential river..." He showed it immediately.

"Stop, stop!" Principal Hu interrupted Lin Xiao with a smile, and then said: "Of course, just thank me, don't thank him, I won this for you."

Everyone around them couldn't help but laugh. Principal Hu and Director Cao still couldn't accept each other.

After that, there was nothing more to say. There was no prize for Lin Xiao and the others. However, the school also awarded various scholarships to students every year. These were all part of the plan, so Lin Xiao's quota was basically impossible to escape. , of course, he is fully worthy of receiving these awards, which add up to almost six to seven thousand yuan.

This goes without saying.

With grades as good as Lin Xiao's, it would be relatively easy to earn a scholarship or something.

Next, the congratulations Lin Xiao received did not stop, from the school to the Municipal Education Bureau, and later even the deputy mayor in charge of education met with him, took a photo, and were interviewed by the municipal TV station. He even went directly to his door and knocked on the door.

The two coaches who led the team at the time, namely Professor Huang and Professor Zhang, who like to cheat when playing chess, also called Lin Xiao to congratulate him and wish him success in next year's national team selection. Break through the siege and become the top six among the sixty people to compete in next year's International Mathematics Olympiad and bring glory to the country.

Everyone strongly believes that Lin Xiao can enter the national team.

And will Lin Xiao let these people down?

Obviously not.

Not to mention, he himself was full of confidence in himself.

On the other hand, regarding invitations from two prestigious universities, Beijing University and Qinghua University, Lin Xiao finally chose Beijing University.

The conditions offered by the two universities are similar, and there is no difference in their domestic status and available resources, so in terms of material conditions, there is no need to worry. However, the mathematics department of Beijing University is second to none in the country.

For example, in the results of the third round of national subject evaluation in 2012, Beijing University ranked first, while Qinghua University only ranked fifth. Although the results of the ongoing fourth round of subject assessment in 2017 have not yet been announced, In comparison, Beijing University will be even better.

In addition, the physics department of Beijing University is also ranked first in the country. If Lin Xiao wants to choose a second degree, his first choice will definitely be physics, because he is also quite interested in physics. After all, the stories of famous people told in the textbooks , such as Newton, Edison, etc., are also famous physicists.

As for his choice, Qinghua University can only express regret. Now the academic strength is really inferior to others. Qinghua University is mainly strong in other subjects.

Beijing University was very happy and soon sent people to Jincheng to sign an agreement with Lin Xiao. This agreement also included various scholarship plans.

Among them, the most exciting thing about Lin Xiao is that if he becomes the top scorer in the college entrance examination, he will also receive the IMO gold medal.

The first is a direct scholarship of one million yuan, plus a monthly subsidy of 10,000 yuan during college, as well as various conditions such as scholarship selection, priority for postgraduate placements, etc. In addition, he can also enjoy special benefits in school. One of the benefits is that he can randomly select three tutors to provide him with one-on-one guidance. If he considers minoring or pursuing a second degree in the future, he can also receive corresponding benefits.

What is the best thing about Beijing University?

Of course, it’s the teachers here. Teachers are an important factor supporting the status of a university. Just like Lanzhou University back then, it was originally one of the very strong universities, but now it has become the lowest among the 985 because of its many high-level talents. of loss.

Only strong teachers can attract students.

Therefore, the conditions offered to Lin Xiao by Beijing University are not unreasonable. Three tutors can be chosen to teach him one-on-one. No student in the history of Beijing University has ever had such treatment.

Especially if the teacher Lin Xiao is interested in refuses to teach Lin Xiao, the school will also arrange for someone to do ideological work for that teacher to try to make him accept it.

Of course, this is natural. The two identities of IMO gold medal winner and college entrance examination champion have never appeared in the same person at the same time since 1979.

This is already making history, so it is appropriate for Beijing University to welcome him with the same treatment as making history.

Of course, the premise is that Lin Xiao can really win the No. 1 pick and the IMO gold medal.

Next, the first test he will face is to win the championship again in the national team selection competition!

…………

…

Time passed in a blink of an eye.

The passion brought about by the excellent results in the Olympiad gradually calmed down, and Lin Xiao's life also returned to the days of eating, studying and sleeping at three o'clock.

Because he can feel the joy of learning, what others see as an ascetic-like life is very happy for him, and he is simply the kind to move forward.

This is probably the so-called arsenic for you and honey for him.

As for the content he is studying now, of course it is still mainly mathematics. However, he rarely studies high school mathematics and has completely entered the field of college mathematics.

He had already finished all advanced mathematics, so he purchased two textbooks: advanced algebra and mathematical analysis, and began to study more in depth.
