Ye Jian didn’t expect Gao Yiyang’s father to act so quickly. She joked, “I have to buck up and work hard to get the scholarship for the year. That way, I might not have to worry about school fees during university.”
“Haha, Girl, that will depend on what university you got into. If you enter military school, you will not need to pay a single cent. Instead, they will give you an allowance.” Principal Chen laughed. This little girl was quite childish sometimes. What an interesting person. “Don’t worry. As long as you manage to get into the military school, you can use the allowance on your daily necessities.”
After laughing, he felt slightly bitter. A child without parents had to worry about school fees.
Luckily, the school fees for the three years in junior high were subsidized because she was the daughter of a soldier who sacrificed for the nation. If not, Sun Dongqing might have asked the girl to leave school and start working.
It was already 7 am now. More students started entering school. The new students laughed and walked into the school happily. Ye Jian walked around the school for a while after coming out of the office. She waited for the classroom to open before entering.
Her classmates seemed to have grown taller over the summer vacation. An Jiaxin pounced onto Ye Jian’s back like a tiger. She laughed. “What did you eat? Why did you grow so tall?”
Ye Jian was no longer a small girl. One week ago, Ye Jian’s puberty arrived. She started growing quickly over the summer vacation.
“Do you want to have a taste of it? Don’t eat breakfast tomorrow. I’ll send you breakfast. You will definitely grow taller.” Ye Jian turned and smiled at her friend. She started laughing heartily. “Did you go and work? Why did you get so dark? Your teeth appear so white now.”
An Jiaxin waved her hand. She had been following her father all around this summer vacation. She said, “My father said that traveling a thousand miles is better than reading a thousand books. I followed his observation team every day and got exposed to the weather. How can I not become darker?”
An Jiaxin’s father was a geologist.
After a while, Zhang Na, Zhang Bin, and a few other students who had a good relationship with Ye Jian entered the classroom. Along with the math-lover Zhou Liao, they gathered together and started discussing the questions Ye Jian during the Science Olympiad.
“Lagrange mean-value theorem and Cauchy’s mean-value theorem... these are taught in higher mathematics. It appeared in the test this time.”
“Not only that, another higher-order derivatives formula, the Leibniz formula, appeared too. The Science Olympiad is not a junior high standard competition. The test is difficult and many formulas will be tested.”
Ye Jian turned serious. She understood why Director Li said that there was a huge difference between their math level and the world’s math level.
Overseas students didn’t know how to do the questions too but they had been taught about these theorems before. On the other hand, their students... Ye Jian sighed when she saw the surprised look on her friends’ faces. “That is why there is a difference between us and them.”
“...Oh my god. This is so difficult! I have never heard of these things before! Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder I was rejected after the test. It’s a good thing that I was rejected. If not, I will embarrass the nation.” An Jiaxin was relieved. Her math results were not bad but those were just junior high math.
As for senior high and higher mathematics... Haha, she didn’t know anything.
Zhou Liao pushed his glasses and sighed loudly. “I feel relieved too. It’s fine if I embarrass myself in school. If I embarrass the nation, I will be a sinner.”
