Chapter 21 Nine out of ten people are unhappy in life
Proud, even a little excited.
Qiao Yu immediately followed the instructions on the website to register and sign up without hesitation.
What makes him happy is that there is really no threshold for this competition. After filling in personal information, he can register directly without even paying a registration fee.
After confirming that the registration was successful, Qiao Yu did not start answering questions, but began to search online for other online mathematics competitions that could give prizes.
For Qiao Yu, the difficulty of most of the questions in the Little Libaba Global Mathematics Competition was within his ability, which was an unexpected surprise.
Because this is a track that has been abandoned by him, the early sunk costs have already been invested, and it can be produced directly without putting in too much energy.
From the perspective of maximizing benefits, the most important thing at this time is to open up harvest channels. The more bonuses, the better.
But soon the world disillusioned him.
Apart from this open world competition, there is no domestic mathematics competition with such generous prize money.
Most competitions are fooled by giving a certificate, especially the prize money for entering the finals of college mathematics competitions and getting the certificate is only a mere thousand yuan. What's even more frightening is that many competitions even charge registration fees.
That's it?
Qiao Yu felt deep contempt in his heart, how could a college student in this world be so worthless?
At this moment, he probably never thought that in the many competitions he found, many people invested thousands or even tens of thousands of times the registration fee just to qualify for the competition.
For many parents, investment in education and training is the most expensive, and what they value most is the certificate.
Who cares about the bonus? Classic demand misalignment.
Of course, Qiao Yu would never think that the problem was actually him, not those competitions.
Unable to find any other suitable competitions, Qiao Yu stopped thinking and seriously began to think about last year's test questions. He just browsed through them briefly and could tell that he could find solutions to most of the questions in his mind, but this did not mean that he could find solutions to most of the questions.
It means he will definitely do it right.
In order to get a reward of 30,000 US dollars, it is still necessary to sacrifice some time to brush up on the questions and try to use the answering system provided by the other party on the test website.
Qiao Yu has always been serious about making money.
…
The iron hit the mark, and the bell rang.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening, the evening self-study was over, the day's study was finally over, and the campus began to become noisy.
Lan Jie also finished his evening self-study and returned to the office. He picked up his phone and opened WeChat and looked at it. His mood was not very good.
After saying goodbye in the afternoon, he sent this guy a WeChat friend application, but it hasn't been approved yet. He really said one thing and did another without any ambiguity.
Thinking of the way this guy repeatedly promised to add WeChat friends as soon as he got the phone when we parted in the afternoon, Lan Jie was so angry that he simply dialed the number, but no one answered for a long time. Lan Jie waited for more than 20 seconds and called.
Just when he was about to give up, the phone call suddenly came through.
"Hey, who's there?"
"I, Teacher Lan."
"Hey, Teacher Lan? Hello, I'm sorry, I got busy after I got home and forgot to check WeChat."
After hearing this explanation, Lan Jie felt a little better.
It’s not that he believed this explanation and had been busy with it, at least Qiao Yu still remembered what he had explained to him before.
"Oh? Are you busy reading the two books I gave you?"
"No, I'm working on the test questions from the previous Little Libaba Global Competition. By the way, Teacher Lan, do you know how to use LaTex? I learned about it online and it is said that it is best to use LaTex for typesetting when answering questions."
Lang Jie was stunned.
Regarding the global mathematics competition held by little Li Baba, he just remembered and mentioned it casually. His original intention was to tell Qiao Yu that there was such a profitable mathematics competition, so that Qiao Yu could understand it in advance and develop a deeper interest in mathematics.
In order to prevent Qiao Yu from having too high expectations of himself, he also specially reminded this competition that many top students from world-renowned universities would participate.
As a result, this guy actually excelled at those advanced mathematics questions after he returned?
"I know how to use it. LaTex is a typesetting tool. In the future, when you go to university and need to write a paper, you will often use this software. The software itself is very easy to operate. You should be able to learn it in one or two days. As for using it, To be proficient, you have to use it more often in daily life. This is a small matter. But what questions can you do?"
Lang Jie suppressed his emotions and answered.
"Thank you, Teacher Lan. As for the questions, some are good and some are not. But I saw that the finals are divided into tracks. I can choose the track I am good at. I feel that the preliminaries questions are okay and the difficulty is moderate."
After hearing this, Lan Jie became less calm.
Speaking of which, he also majored in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics at Shuangdan University, and then went to Nanjing University in the ancient capital to study for graduate school. Because he obtained a teacher qualification certificate during his master's degree, he returned to Star City after graduation and was admitted to Tieyi Middle School. Became a math teacher.
Five years ago, when little Libaba held the first mathematics competition, he also signed up to participate with a fun mentality.
He didn't want to talk about his grades. He probably stayed in high school for a long time and was exposed to elementary mathematics problems. In short, he didn't make it to the finals.
Although he lost interest in signing up after that, he would take a look at the questions in the competition every year and naturally knew the difficulty of the questions.
Could it be that Qiao Yu can't be at a higher level than him?
Then call this kid for Olympiad training. What can he teach? The application of LaTex?
Although his mood was very complicated and he didn't manage his expression well at this time, Lan Jie did not show any timidity when he spoke: "Okay, you can do the questions first. Remember to add me on WeChat. After the competition class tomorrow, I will take the time to teach you LaTex." .”
"Okay, thank you, Teacher Lan. I'll hang up now."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, the other person quickly added his WeChat account.
Lan Jie calmed down a little and decided to carefully explore Qiao Yu's level tomorrow. With this plan in mind, Lan Jie walked to the window and looked at the playground below. The campus was still lively at this time, with a group of half-year-olds The children were gathering together in twos and threes, laughing and walking towards the school gate.
It's great to be young. It would be even better if there were more students like Qiao Yu.
…
"Xia Keke, wait for me."
Xia Keke had just walked out of the school gate with her deskmate when she heard a cry behind her.
He paused and turned around to take a look. It was his classmate Xu Zhe, a boy who has always been among the top five in the class.
From the corner of his eye, he saw his deskmate Hu Xiyao covering her mouth and smiling. Xia Keke couldn't help turning her head and glared at her. Then she looked openly at Xu Zhe behind her and asked, "What are you doing?"
The little boy opposite glanced at the girl standing next to Xia Keke, hesitant, but when he met Xia Keke's shining eyes, his courage instantly surged up like a tide...
