Chapter 185 Choice
"Hua Antao and Pei Yi'an, come out here for a moment!"
Zhu Yong was teaching his students when there was a knock on the door.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the grade director, followed by the principal, vice principal, and a group of leaders.
Could it be that the competition results are out?
Having made a guess, Zhu Yong quickly assigned classroom tasks to the other students, instructed the class monitor and other academic leaders to manage class discipline, and then hurriedly left the classroom with Hua Antao and Pei Yi'an.
Hua Lichu immediately looked at her older sister.
Hua Antao returned the look with a reassuring gaze.
Once the group was completely out of sight, a buzzing sound immediately filled the classroom.
"Have the competition results come out? Judging from this, you did very well?"
"Definitely! Even the principal got involved, so the rankings must be pretty good. Hua Antao and Pei Yi'an are really amazing; they actually won an award in a national competition."
A classmate with ill intentions directly asked Hua Lichu:
"Hua Lichu, the three of you went to the exam together, how come you were left behind?"
"Yes! Your sister and Pei Yi'an both won awards..."
Hua Lichu glanced at them expressionlessly and replied bluntly:
"Yes, even someone as bad as me won the provincial first prize, so I'm qualified to participate in the competition."
"You're so talented, how come you didn't win first place nationwide? Oh, I forgot, you didn't even pass the preliminary rounds!"
"you!"
The man stood up abruptly from his chair, pointed at Hua Lichu, his lips trembling, too angry to speak.
Hua Lichu gave a mocking smile: "What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean?' Am I not telling the truth?"
They say you can't write two Hua characters in one stroke, so if my sister wins an award, it's like I'm winning an award!
If you're so capable, why don't you find a sister as amazing as her too!
Oh, you didn't! That's good then. Can I reasonably suspect, and guess, that you're jealous and envious of me?
The others burst into laughter.
Before the person could refute, the class monitor shouted angrily: "**, even if Hua Lichu didn't win an award this time, she still won a provincial first prize, which brought glory back to our school!"
You're still second in the grade, why are you worrying about things that don't concern you? Spend your time doing more practice problems and thinking about how to improve your grades!
And you, stop laughing! Class is in session, keep quiet, no talking!
"You are partial!"
The class monitor rolled his eyes: "I am biased! As students, our responsibility is to study."
Hua Lichu's good grades show that she fulfills her responsibilities. Is there a problem with me showing favoritism towards her?
After saying that, the class monitor snorted coldly.
Then, she gently comforted Hua Lichu with a few words.
His attitude before and after was very clear, and he made no attempt to hide his favoritism.
Meanwhile, in the other office, the grade director grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.
"Congratulations to Hua Antao on achieving the top prize in this national competition."
Pei Yi'an was also excellent, first prize!
Hua Antao accepted the certificate and trophy with a happy smile.
Pei Yi'an pursed her lips, feeling a little annoyed.
If I could finish answering the last question, wouldn't I also be able to...?
Having just won first prize, will Hua Antao think he's stupid and be even less willing to give him another chance?
The head of the grade offered Pei Yi'an a few words of comfort, and then took out several red envelopes from the side:
"This is a reward from our school leaders! This is a reward from our Education Bureau..."
Hua Antao is no stranger to this.
When I won awards in provincial competitions, the school, the education bureau, and the city all expressed their appreciation.
This time, having won the national competition, it was no exception.
Hua Antao felt the thickness of the red envelope and was overjoyed; it was much thicker than the last one!
After all the leaders had given their encouragement to the two men, they left.
Only the principal and the grade head stayed, and they took Hua Antao and Pei Yi'an to the principal's office.
"I have some good news to tell you."
"what?"
"Along with your achievements came an invitation from Comrade Qiu**, a renowned Chinese mathematician and physicist."
As the head of the Mathematics Leadership Program, he formally invited you two to join them.
This competition was initiated by him to select talent for this project.
I've seen your usual exam scores, and they're both excellent. But I can tell that the knowledge in high school textbooks has long been insufficient for your needs.
Professor Qiu is a pioneer in the field of mathematics in my country. By following him, you can learn the knowledge that interests you more quickly and systematically.
This is a great opportunity. I hope you will consider it carefully and discuss it thoroughly with your family before making a decision.
Hua Antao frowned: "The Mathematics Leadership Program, isn't that program at Tsinghua University? We're only in our second year of high school..."
The principal smiled and said, "Special talents deserve special treatment! As long as you two can take this year's college entrance examination, no matter what score you get, you will be recommended to Tsinghua University."
Pei Yi'an suddenly looked up: "This year's college entrance examination?"
"Yes! You are taking the college entrance examination a year early as second-year high school students."
Furthermore, once you accept Professor Qiu's invitation, he requires you to immediately depart for the capital to formally participate in professional training, laying the foundation for the subsequent leadership program.
Taking the college entrance exam a year early is not a big deal.
Although it's only the second semester of the second year of high school, the three members of the study group (the Hua Lichu sisters and Pei Yi'an) have already finished studying all the high school textbooks ahead of schedule.
Losing a year of preparation time might prevent them from getting high scores on the college entrance exam, but since there are guaranteed admission slots, this is no longer an issue.
Can,
Going to the capital immediately would mean she would have to separate from her sister and grandfather.
After all, my younger sister doesn't have a guaranteed admission spot, so she definitely has to take the college entrance exam in the usual way!
The two sisters have never been separated since they were born.
We don't say we're together 24 hours a day, but we're together for at least 360 days out of 365 days a year.
The five days apart were definitely not consecutive; they were made up of countless fragments that barely amounted to five days.
The sudden separation from her sister, lasting for a year and a half, was more painful than killing her; she couldn't accept it!
The usually calm Hua Antao scratched her head in frustration:
What is the latest you can give a reply?
Principal: "The day after tomorrow."
He quickly added, "This concerns your future. You might not get another chance like this, so you'd better think it over carefully!"
Pei Yi'an had always known that Hua Antao was a complete sister-obsessed person.
The fact that they didn't say they wouldn't go on the spot is already a big favor to their "interest".
"Principal, do you know Hua Lichu's grades?"
Hua Antao gave Pei Yi'an an approving look, then stared intently at the principal.
