43 Good News; Sold Out by Others in the Blink of an Eye!
If Professor Zhang had come silently earlier and left silently now, it would not have been a big deal.
However, the key point was that he had just greeted them.
After hesitating for a long time, Professor Zhang finally coughed and said, “You guys must be Lin Fan from the mathematics department and Xia Bing and Xia Xue from the computer department, right?”
Lin Fan seemed to have just noticed Professor Zhang. He slowly let go of Xia Bing and Xia Xue before saying, “Yes, that’s me.”
Professor Zhang was indeed a professor. He had seen countless storms and quickly forgot about the scene just now.
“Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhang Yong, a professor in the School of Mathematics.
“Mathematical modeling is an important method that uses mathematical tools and a computer to build a model, thus solving practical problems…
“Of course, you’re all the best in your respective departments, so I won’t waste my breath on these simple conceptual explanations.” Zhang Yong laughed.
After a pause, Zhang Yong continued, “Lin Fan, you should know about Xia Bing and Xia Xue’s situation. So, you’re not only responsible for mathematical calculations and thesis but also for verbal communication… Do you have a problem with that?”
However, Zhang Yong did not wait for his answer and continued, “It’s good that there’s no problem.”
Lin Fan was speechless.
Did he say anything?
‘Professor Zhang, is it really alright for you to make a decision on my behalf like this?’
Zhang Yong recalled that Lin Fan had already hugged Xia Bing and Xia Xue in his arms. He even formed a team with the two of them to participate in the National Mathematical Modeling Competition. He must have made all these preparations beforehand.
“Let’s start with some simple training,” Zhang Yong said.
Zhang Yong glanced around the classroom and said, “Now, use your mathematical knowledge to design a comfortable chair.”
If it was someone else who suddenly heard this question, they would definitely be confused.
A chair was just a chair, no?
Did they even need to use mathematical knowledge to design one?
However, Lin Fan was different. A large amount of data appeared in his mind.
Then, he turned to the beautiful twins and said, “I’ll do the calculations and you guys design it. How about it?”
At this time, the faces of the beautiful twins were still flushed.
After they heard Lin Fan’s words, they nodded their heads excitedly.
Soon, the rhythmic tapping of the keyboard sounded in Training Room 305.
In just a few hours, a modern-looking chair with perfect statistics appeared on the computer desktop.
Seeing this…
Zhang Yong’s mouth was half-open, and he was completely stunned.
“Good, very good! Your mathematical modeling abilities are better than I thought!
“If you guys can perform well during the National Mathematical Modeling Competition, it shouldn’t be a problem to win a national award.”
Zhang Yong’s face was full of smiles.
Jiangbei University was one of the top ten universities in the country, but they had little honor in the field of mathematics in recent years. This made the mathematics professors feel embarrassed.
If they could win a national award, it would be a good thing.
“No, I have to get professor Hu Tian to help train you guys. She’s an expert in mathematical modeling.
“With her help, you might have a chance to win the Higher Education Cup!”
Zhang Yong’s face was filled with excitement.
It was as if the three of them had already won the Higher Education Cup.
The Higher Education Cup referred to the first place in the National Mathematical Modeling Competition!
One had to know… that Jiangbei University had never won the Higher Education Cup since its establishment.
If it could be achieved this year, it would be an absolute honor for Jiangbei University, especially for the School of Mathematics.
Thus, Zhang Yong gave a few more casual instructions and hurriedly walked out of Room 305.
It was obvious that he was planning to look for Hu Tian and the other higher-ups to discuss this matter.
After Lin Fan heard Zhang Yong’s words, he had a strange look on his face.
Zhang Yong said that Hu Tian was an expert in mathematical modeling? With her help, they would have a chance to compete for the Higher Education Cup?
However, did Hu Tian not say that Zhang Yong had a high level of attainment in mathematical modeling? She even said that Zhang Yong was more suitable to guide them!
Lin Fan looked at Zhang Yong’s back as he left. He shook his head and put this matter to the back of his mind.
Then, Lin Fan glanced at the empty training room and the almost perfect chair on the two computer screens.
He could not help but recall Xia Bing’s and Xia Xue’s incomparably skilled movements and superb skills when they were operating the computers. He could not help but say, “Can you guys help me look for something on the internet?”
Xia Bing’s and Xia Xue’s two small heads were like chicks pecking at rice as they constantly nodded.
To them, being able to help Lin fan was definitely a very blissful thing.
Lin Fan said, “I want to find a hundred-year-old ginseng. Can you guys check where I can buy it?”
During this period of time, he had been searching for information on the hundred-year-old ginseng on the internet.
However, he did not manage to find anything.
Lin Fan often thought that maybe it was because his computer skills were too bad.
Now that he realized Xia Bing’s and Xia Xue’s skills in computer technology had far surpassed superhuman technology, he could not help but make that request.
Room 305 of the No. 1 Training Building, which had been quiet for a moment, was once again filled with rhythmic sounds.
At the same time, dense characters appeared on the two computer screens.
Very quickly, a piece of news was locked onto the two computer screens.
On September 7th, Jingbei Xinyue Hotel would hold an auction, and one of the items was from the Ming dynasty. It was Wang Duo’s ‘Mountain-Like Pure Invitation.’ It was a green chrysanthemum bowl that stored a hundred-year-old ginseng…
Lin Fan’s eyes lit up when he saw this.
7th of September. Was that not tomorrow?
Perhaps he would be able to obtain the hundred-year-old ginseng tomorrow and obtain the right to purchase medical potions.
“Xia Bing, Xia Xue, you guys have really helped me a lot!” Lin Fan said happily.
Hearing Lin Fan’s praise, Xia Bing’s and Xia Xue’s faces immediately bloomed like a flower, looking extremely radiant.
Since the auction was tomorrow, Lin Fan did not stay in Room 305 for too long. He had to hurry to Jingbei.
…
At this moment, Zhang Yong quickly walked into the office.
“Good news, good news!” Zhang Yong said excitedly.
“What good news is it?” a teacher asked.
Zhang Yong said, “For this year’s National Mathematical Modeling Competition, our school will have at least one national award! Don’t you guys think it’s good news?”
“Really?”
“How can it be fake? In fact, if Professor Hu Tian can help with the training, I think it’s not impossible for us to win the Higher Education Cup!” Zhang Yong said excitedly.
As soon as he said that, the teachers in the office all let out sounds of surprise.
“You’re talking about Lin Fan’s team, right?” Hu Tian asked.
“It seems like you know them too. Professor Hu Tian, come with me to train them tomorrow,” Zhang Yong said.
However, Hu Tian shook her head and said, “I won’t train them.”
“Why is that? Professor Hu Tian, I can guarantee that they’re the most talented team members I’ve ever seen!” Zhang Yong said.
“I’ve already spoken to the director and the others about this. So, you don’t have to try to persuade me,” Hu Tian said.
Zhang Yong looked at her determined expression and sighed. “This… Okay. Sigh, I just told Lin Fan and the others that if you helped train them, they might be able to win the Higher Education Cup. I’m afraid they’re going to be disappointed now.”
When Hu Tian heard this, she could not help but rub her forehead as she thought to herself, ‘How could Zhang Yong say such things so quickly?’ She had just told Lin Fan that Zhang Yong was the most suitable person to train them, but she was already sold out at the next moment.
