Chapter 272: Mathematics Competition

Upon hearing his students’ complaints, Li Xiao rubbed his temples and explained seriously, “This competition is not as easy as everyone thinks. There is a free answer section in front of the difficulty challenge. The scores for that round have to be added to the final score, so the score of every person in the

team can directly affect the entire team!”

After Li Xiao answered, the student sitting in the first row touched his head and asked, “Mr. Li, how many spots did our Jingyang High School get for the competition this time?”

“Ten. In other words, we can send two teams to participate. After the students have signed up, the school’s internal preliminaries are scheduled to be next Tuesday. When the results of the preliminaries are out, the school leader will announce that the students who are ranked in the top ten will represent

Jingyang High School in this Mathematics competition.”

After Li Xiao said this, the students in the class started chattering again.

“This competition looks too difficult. Not to mention whether we can win honor for the school and get a good ranking in the country, just based on the preliminaries next week, even if our Class Eight students register, they might not be lucky enough to enter the top tena€!”

“That’s right. This kind of opportunity is reserved for the true top students in Class One. People like us who don’t have good grades usually can forget about such a difficult competition!”

“Everyone, don’t praise others and diminish your own prestige. You have to give it a try to know everything. Wasn’t the physics results from last time the best example? Who says that just because Class Eight’s foundation is poor, we won’t be able to get good results? Maybe we can really succeed after giving it

atry!”

Li Xiao gave the students below the stage five minutes to discuss freely. Five minutes later, he picked up the blackboard eraser on the lecture table and knocked it on the table to signal for everyone to be quiet.

Then, the man cleared his throat and said in a low voice, “How’s the discussion going? If you want to sign up, come to me and sign your names.”

“Teacher! I want to participate in this Mathematics competition!”

Just as Li Xiao finished speaking, Kang Wan, who was sitting in the back row, arrogantly picked up a pen and signed her name neatly on the podium.

After signing it, she even turned to glance at Mo Zhu smugly and said, “Mr. Li, my Mathematics results have always been very good when I was studying in Beijing. I always get into the top ten in the level. With my team, I will definitely be able to get a good ranking for Jingyang High School!”

Li Xiao looked at the girl’s confident appearance and nodded in relief. He looked up and smiled as he said softly, “It’s great that you have such thoughts.”

After saying this, the man changed the topic slightly. He looked in Mo Zhu’s direction indifferently and added, “Although Kang Wan has already registered in the class, I still hope that the other students can participate actively. Thata€} I heard that Mo Zhu has good grades in each subject and she even led

Class Eight to achieve good results last time. I wonder what you think about this Mathematics competition?”

Seeing that Li Xiao had tumed his gaze to her, Mo Zhu lowered her head and replied lightly as she played with her phone, “I dont have any opinions. !m not interested.”

Li Xiao felt that this young lady was really a good seedling. He did not give up and continued to persuade her, “Mo Zhu, don’t you want to go to Beijing University? That is the university that many students dream of! I really hope that you can sign up to participate. I believe that as long as you participate, we

can definitelya€r”

Before the man could finish, Mo Zhu could no longer listen in frustration. She raised her hand, dug her ears, and interrupted Li Xiao bluntly, “I don’t want to participate.”

She came to school to study because she had promised her grandmother that she would study seriously like ordinary girls. However, this did not mean that she was interested in winning glory for the school.

Upon hearing Mo Zhu’s rejection without hesitation, Li Xiao sighed and did not say anything else.

‘When Kang Wan saw this, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Mo Zhu’s position as she said provocatively, “Teacher has already said so much, and some students still don’t give him the support. They really don’t have any sense of collective honor. If you ask me, it’s a lie of hers when she said that she’s not

interested. The fact is that she’s afraid of being crushed by others.’

‘When the students of Class Eight heard this, they knew that the girl’s words were specially said for Mo Zhu. Now, everyone was looking down and no one dared to speak.

At this moment, an extremely small voice came from the corner. “Teacher, I want to sign up for this competition.”

Li Xiao looked in the direction of the voice. It was Meng Ran who had quietly raised her hand…
