Chapter 231 Let’s Take the Exam in Advance
Everyone was chatting along the way and the jeep was driving very fast. When we arrived at school, it was three quarters of an hour faster than usual.
The car stopped directly in front of Building 1.
Teacher Xu got out of the car and suddenly turned to Qiu Huoming and said, "Come with me."
Zhao Jiamin and the others went back to the dormitory first. Qiu Huoming helped Teacher Xu carry his handbag, and they entered the department office one after another.
Teacher Xu carefully put away the computer, then walked to the desk, sat down on the chair, and reached out to take out a letter from the middle drawer.
"It was delivered at noon, and I just put it in the drawer."
Qiu Huoming reached out to take it. The big words "Science Editorial Department" clearly visible on the cover made his heart tighten.
"It's probably rejected. This academic journal has very high requirements..." Teacher Xu smiled and said, "Try harder next time. What topic did you write about?"
Qiu Huoming opened the envelope and found a thick stack of reply letters inside.
The first sentence was, "Hello, Qiu Huoming. We have received the paper you mailed. We have taken a rigorous attitude and found several well-known professors in the industry to conduct the argumentation, which delayed us a lot of time..."
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Teacher Xu looked up at him and said, "You will understand when you start doing academic research in the future. Rejection is common. Don't be discouraged. With your ability, you will be able to publish sooner or later if you work hard and carefully..."
Qiu Huoming had a rough idea of what was to come after reading the first page. He said calmly, "I...I think my thesis was passed."
"Don't ask first, let me finish reading." Qiu Huoming pulled over a chair and sat down opposite Teacher Xu's desk. He opened the first page of the letter and continued reading.
Teacher Xu suddenly felt like his heart was scratched by a cat. He thought for a moment, took out a cigarette from his arms, walked to the window, stretched out his hand and pushed half of the window out, struck a match, lit the cigarette butt, which flickered, and he took a deep puff. Only then did his heart finally settle down.
The sky outside was bright, and on the grass not far away, there were three or four students reading.
The study atmosphere in the School of Engineering has always been very good. After curfew at night, some top students would still stand under the street lights to continue reviewing.
He was afraid that the children would damage their eyesight, so he applied for a classroom with lights on all night, which he called a laboratory. He would go there occasionally and find that it was almost full.
Radio is a magical subject. Before I got into it, it felt like a mystery. But after I got into it, I would feel itchy if I didn’t touch it for a day. Especially after I made the first machine in my life that captured radio waves, the sense of accomplishment was incomparable.
The more you understand, the more magical it seems.
Here his thoughts were in a tizzy.
Qiu Huoming has finished reading the letter.
The paper will be published in the last issue of the year. There will be no royalties, but there is an honor, which is to invite him to participate in the scientific research conference held in Shenhai City at the end of the year.
He looked at the invitation letter sandwiched between the pieces of letter paper in his hand. Teacher Xu put out his cigarette butt and walked over.
"Hey, look here. Come on, tell me what's going on?" he asked calmly.
Qiu Huoming handed the invitation letter to Teacher Xu, "The paper I wrote was accepted, and they invited me to attend the scientific research conference, but I see the date..."
Qiu Huoming frowned slightly, "If I take the final exam, I won't be able to make it in time."
The final exams are from January 1th to 14th. There are not many courses in the first year, and there are ten subjects to test. 16-3 subjects a day, so it can be finished in three days.
Teacher Xu took the invitation letter and said, "From January 1th to 16th, there are three days in total. The first day is the opening ceremony..."
His expression changed. It's not like he hasn't been to such occasions before, but he attended as a well-known professor. How could a freshman be able to attend?
Qiu Huoming wanted to go secretly. It only took one day and one night for Shenhai to get to Wucheng County by boat. After the meeting, he could rush home immediately. However, the school also has its own rules. He sighed and decided to give up.
Teacher Xu tapped the table with one hand. "It's not impossible. We can just take the exam in advance."
Qiu Huoming was cheered up when he heard this.
"You can take the water route from Yangcheng to Shenhai. I'll give you a week, so the exam will start on January 1th..."
Teacher Xu smiled and said, "Speaking of Shenhai, our department has secured a teacher this time. He is also from Shenhai. You can go the same way with him. He graduated from MIT. You can ask him for advice along the way."
Qiu Huoming was overjoyed. Someone brought him a pillow just when he was about to go to bed.
"Okay, then I'll let Teacher Xu take care of it." Qiu Huoming's tone became a little more relaxed.
"Now tell me, what is the content of the paper you published?" Teacher Xu asked casually.
Qiu Huoming scratched the back of his head. "I read a report a long time ago, saying that anyone who can prove the Fermat conjecture can receive a very high reward..."
Teacher Xu's expression changed again, and his fingers clenched silently.
"So, I have been thinking about this. Before the college entrance examination, I participated in a math competition and met a professor named Li. He gave me some information and opened up some of my ideas..."
Qiu Huoming recounted the whole process with reason and evidence, and then recounted the process of his own proof.
Teacher Xu let out a long sigh. “Monster,” he cried in his heart.
"Okay, go back,"
"Teacher Xu, what do you think... is the reward still useful?"
"What do you think? That was before the First World War!"
"That means there isn't any. It hasn't even been a hundred years yet! They are all liars!" Qiu Huoming walked away cursing.
Teacher Xu rubbed his brows with his hand. He forgot to tell him not to mention the bounty at the meeting and to come up with a reason.
Forget it, I don't want to see him now. Let's talk about it after the Canton Fair is over.
When Qiu Huoming returned to the dormitory, his roommates had not yet finished class. He put down his schoolbag and suddenly remembered that he had not yet given the photo to Zhao Jiamin.
He took out an envelope, put the photo in it, turned around and walked out of the dormitory and went straight to East 8 Dormitory.
In East 8 Dormitory, Zhao Jiamin did not rest at all. She first wiped the tables, swept the floor, and took out the trash. When she came back, not long after resting, she heard Dormitory Manager Qiu calling her name in the corridor.
She responded and walked out, "Aunt Qiu, who's looking for me?"
"His surname is Qiu, and he often comes downstairs..." Dormitory manager Qiu is knowledgeable and has an expression that says, "I know, I understand, but you have to pay attention."
"He is my classmate. Thank you, Aunt Qiu. I'll go down right away." Zhao Jiamin thanked her and quickly walked across the corridor and went downstairs.
At the entrance of the dormitory, Qiu Huoming was looking around.
After seeing Zhao Jiamin, he smiled and took a few steps forward: "I forgot to give you the photo." Qiu Huoming handed over the envelope, "Mission accomplished, I'm leaving first..."
"Hey, wait a minute. Never mind. Let's meet in the cafeteria later. I have something to tell you." Zhao Jiamin said.
"Meet at the cafeteria entrance at 5:3."
"it is good."
Qiu Huoming walked back happily, went back to the dormitory to take out his lunch bag and meal ticket, glanced at the time, and walked over slowly. It was almost time.
As soon as he picked up the thermos, the door was pushed open.
Wen Yuanyi rushed in first, "Squad leader, you're really fast!" He greeted and quickly threw down his schoolbag. Chen Xi and Yang Shijun followed closely behind.
As the only person who eats the most in his dormitory, Qiu Huoming sighed in his heart. Perhaps because of the competition, Qiu Huoming's speed has increased a bit.
A minute later, they were all on their way to the cafeteria.
"Hey, Old Yang, now that you've made money, why don't you buy yourself a new outfit?" Qiu Huoming said as he looked at the jacket on Yang Shijun that was covered with patches of various sizes.
"It's still wearable, there are no holes..." Yang Shijun looked down at the pants.
"Brother Shijun, the New Year is coming soon, it's time to change your clothes." Wen Yuanyi echoed.
Chen Xi thought for a moment, "There is a market in Nanxiu Village, where many people set up stalls to sell clothes and daily necessities. I heard that there will be a big sale during the Chinese New Year, and many teachers go there to buy things. The goods are of good quality and low price, but they are only available on Sunday mornings..."
Yang Shijun's heart moved when he heard this, "Why don't we go and take a look early on Sunday morning?" He was thinking of buying some clothes to bring back to his hometown. In addition to buying some for his mother, he also wanted to dress up his two younger sisters and one younger brother.
"Then let's go together." Qiu Huoming said, "I just happen to buy some for my family..."
"Me too. I have two younger sisters and a younger brother, and I'm the only one who passed the exam. They are all farmers. My eldest sister is 21 years old and hasn't talked about her in-laws yet. I bought them some nice clothes..." Yang Shijun muttered.
"21 is not too old." Qiu Huoming said.
Yang Shijun shook his head. "You are a city dweller. In our rural area, 21 years old is not young."
"People in the village are talking about our family. They say that I am too old to study and should not get married and start a family. They also want my eldest sister to marry me off. If I fail the exam this year..." Yang Shijun's eyes were dazed for a moment.
"May Mazu bless you." he murmured.
Qiu Huoming reached out and patted his shoulder. "You are eating commercial grain now. If anyone in your village keeps gossiping about you, go find the village chief. I don't believe he won't protect you. Maybe in the future, your village will have to rely on you for support... If he doesn't protect you, go find the commune!"
Yang Shijun recovered and said with a wry smile: "The day I received the notice, the village chief gave my family several eggs..."
That's investing.
Chen Xi snorted coldly: "This kind of person is just following the wind..."
"Three generations up are all relatives. As long as you don't go too far, it's fine. Sometimes you need people from the same village to support each other. After all, your family still lives in the village." Qiu Huoming explained. He thought of his great uncle's family. If they hadn't gone too far, his father would probably continue to help them.
But this so-called friendship officially came to an end with Qiu Huoming's generation.
Wen Yuanyi is from a city, his family is relatively well-off, and he is young and a bit naive. "The day I was admitted to university was the same, I received a lot of gifts. This time when I go home for the New Year, I can also receive New Year's money..."
The custom here in Guangdong is that as long as you are not married you can receive New Year's money, but generally people over 20 feel embarrassed to ask for it, especially since people are not rich nowadays.
Wen Yuanyi is only 15 years old, so he can get New Year's money for a few more years.
Several people drew some hot water and placed it directly in the corner of the cafeteria.
Just as Qiu Huoming chased them away, he saw Zhao Jiamin walking quickly towards the intersection. She was also alone, and her little follower Cheng Xiaohui did not follow her.
"Let's go, there aren't many people inside." Qiu Huoming walked in side by side with her.
"Why haven't I seen classmate Ji recently?" Qiu Huoming asked.
"She went to the West District Canteen with her fourth sister. She said there were several dishes there that the East District didn't have..."
Qiu Huoming criticized: "They are all excuses."
Zhao Jiamin smiled slightly, "Fourth sister is okay, she is quite honest."
The two of them went to the food window, ordered their food, and found a secluded table to sit down.
Qiu Huoming asked while eating: "What was it that you were talking about before?"
"I saw a lot of hibiscus in the flower area today. I also passed by that exhibition area three days ago. At that time, there were no such flowers..."
Zhao Jiamin frowned slightly and spoke in a low voice.
"I also saw it yesterday..." Qiu Huoming thought for a moment and said, "That is to say, these flowers arrived the day before yesterday. This is too obvious. The other party is either stupid or deliberately asked someone to check..."
Zhao Jiamin ate her food in small bites and fell into deep thought for a moment.
"Li Xiaoyue was the first person to discover the card. She was also the one who reminded Uncle Pan that the card was inconsistent with what he said. When Zhang Song bumped into Jinxiu, she was behind him..." Zhao Jiamin recalled.
Qiu Huoming smiled and said, "So detective novels often say that the first person to discover the scene is the most likely suspect."
"So you agree with my analysis?"
"I have another idea, please listen to it first..."
Qiu Huoming picked up a piece of shredded meat with chopsticks, "This is the most dazzling part of my dish, but if I don't move these green peppers, you can't see it. Now someone wants to make it discovered, but he doesn't want to do it himself..."
"So he told Chopsticks..."
Qiu Huoming took the chopsticks and put the shredded meat into his mouth, "Chopsticks, do as you say."
Zhao Jiamin thought for a moment and said, "Let's restore it..."
Zhao Jiamin asked Luo Jinxiu in detail about what happened that day, so when she responded, she used what Luo Jinxiu saw.
"A group of people saw a bouquet of flowers on the table. Jinxiu was also surprised. After she took the flowers, she thought they were probably sent by the organizer, so she put them behind the long table. Because she was not used to being particular about details, she took the bouquet with great force, and the card fell into the bouquet and was covered... If you don't look for it, you can't see it."
"At this time, Li Xiaoyue came over, pushed aside the bouquet, took out the card from it, and began to read..."
"Then Luo Jinxiu's heart was in turmoil. They curiously asked her who this friend was..."
Zhao Jiamin paused, then analyzed: "If what you said is true, someone reminded Li Xiaoyue, then the person who reminded her must have a big problem."
"You mentioned conspiracy before. Is this what you meant? It should be something else, right?"
Qiu Huoming nodded, "Let's analyze the other party's intentions first. 1. The flowers he sent were found, and he took the initiative to confess his love. If it succeeds, everyone will be happy. 2. If it fails, then Luo's reputation will be ruined, and he can be regarded as revenge for being rejected..."
Zhao Jiamin snorted, "You are such a chicken, you don't deserve to be a man..."
Qiu Huoming glanced at her and said, "That's him, not me. Don't take your anger out on me."
"..."
Qiu Huoming saw that she was about to go berserk, so he immediately added, "Then I'll continue my analysis..."
"He can't accomplish this by himself. We have so many people coming and going here, and it can't be done without someone to provide cover."
Zhao Jiamin nodded when he heard this.
Qiu Huoming took a few more bites of food before continuing, "Why should we help this person? This is crucial."
Zhao Jiamin hesitated for a moment and interrupted Qiu Huoming, "If we want to form an alliance, we must have common interests, or... they have reached some kind of deal."
Qiu Huoming raised his thumb and said, "Yes, this is my initial analysis. An admirer and a jealous person..."
Others travel to see the sights, but I travel by holding my computer and writing as much as I can. I am the one who is despised...
I heard someone wants to give me a monthly ticket?
