Chapter 172 Persuasion

Early the next morning, Ye Leng'an came to Sheng'an Middle School, and saw a big red banner hanging on the school gate, which read "Congratulations to our school's Ye Leng'an for winning the first place in the National Mathematical Olympiad".

Looking at the big banner, the corner of Ye Leng'an's mouth couldn't help twitching. Although she knew that she would win the first place, she really did not expect that the principal would hang up such a banner. Moreover, the speed of this banner is really fast enough! The results came out only yesterday afternoon, and the banner was put up this morning.

Entering the school, this time, Ye Leng'an has attracted the attention of many students. However, unlike before, most of the eyes looking at her at this moment were filled with admiration and admiration.

Who would have thought that Ye Leng'an, whose grades were mediocre after the start of last semester, could catch up quickly, and his grades have been firmly ranked first, and now he has won the first place in the National Mathematical Olympiad. Such a transformation is indeed impressive.

Facing the eyes of everyone, Ye Leng'an didn't feel uncomfortable at all. She didn't go directly to the classroom, but walked towards the principal's office. She came here today to find the principal to fulfill her promise.

Came to the door of the principal's office, knocked on the door, and after getting a response, Ye Leng'an opened the door and went in. But as soon as she entered the door, she saw that besides the principal, there was an old man in the principal's office.

The two of them were sitting on the other side of the sofa, drinking tea.

Didn't expect that there would be guests in the principal's office. After Ye Leng'an nodded to Zheng Anyang, he said, "Principal, I'm sorry, I didn't know you had guests here. I'll come to you later."

Now there are outsiders in the principal's office, she is too embarrassed to come to the principal to discuss the matter of skipping grades. So, she turned around and planned to leave, and come back after class.

"Student Ye Leng'an, please wait a moment!"

Seeing that Ye Leng'an was about to turn around and leave, Zheng Anyang got up immediately and stopped her, "This old Sun is here to find you."

After hearing Zheng Anyang's words, Ye Leng'an was taken aback for a moment, although she was a little puzzled, she turned around and walked over.

The kind-hearted old man who was drinking tea with the principal just now, after seeing Ye Leng'an, his eyes lit up as if he saw some treasure. He immediately stood up and walked quickly to Ye Leng'an, with a kind smile on his face, "You must be Ye Leng'an's classmate! Hello, my surname is Sun, and they all call me Mr. Sun."

Such a quick movement, really doesn't look like the skill that an old man in his sixties can possess.

Ye Leng'an didn't know the old man in front of her, but she could tell that the old man had a good impression of her, so she nodded politely, and then said hello, "Hello, Elder Sun."

"Student Ye Leng'an, you may not be clear." Zheng Anyang took a step forward and introduced, "This old man Sun is the dean of the Department of Mathematics of Imperial University, and also the dean of the National Mathematics Research Center. He has profound knowledge in mathematics."

After hearing Zheng Anyang's introduction, Ye Leng'an nodded.

Because she still didn't know why this old Sun came to her. Could it be because of yesterday's Mathematical Olympiad competition! However, it's impossible to come directly to her just because of a Mathematical Olympiad competition last night! I don't know how many years this Olympiad competition has been held, and I don't know how many first places there are. If everyone had to meet each other, then Mr. Sun would be very busy.

"Student Ye Xiao." Sun Lao looked at Ye Leng'an and smiled amiably, "Actually, I came today to ask you about the last question of yesterday's competition. Why did you choose such an answering idea?"

"Is my answer wrong?" Ye Leng'an was a little surprised, "It shouldn't be!"

She is still very confident in her answer. Could it be that she really did something wrong. However, even if you did something wrong, there is no need to come to your door like this!

"No, no." Sun Lao shook his head again and again, "Your answer is not wrong, and it's even excellent. That's why I want to ask you about your thinking on solving the problem."

Hearing that her answer was correct, and Ye Leng'an's emotions didn't fluctuate too much, she nodded, without hiding anything, and directly expressed her thoughts.

Listening to Ye Leng'an's problem-solving ideas, Sun Lao's eyes became brighter and brighter, and when he looked at Ye Leng'an, his eyes became more and more appreciative.

On the other hand, Zheng Anyang, listening to Ye Leng'an's words, was like listening to some bible. Although he is the principal, it does not mean that he is omnipotent. Even if he has some understanding of the Olympiad questions, but this last question is a world problem that has just been solved, and he has never heard of it before, so when he listened to it, he was really confused.

After listening to Ye Leng'an's explanation, Mr. Sun suddenly realized. When he looked at Ye Leng'an, his eyes seemed to be shining, "Sure enough, there are talented people from all over the world! Why didn't I think of such an idea before! Student Ye Xiao, do you know how much contribution you have made to the world of mathematics!"

"Mathematics?" After hearing what Sun Lao said, Ye Leng'an felt a little surprised, "Sun Lao, what do you mean?"

She just did a competition problem, how did she get involved with the mathematics world?

"Look at my memory." Sun Lao slapped his head, and immediately told Ye Leng'an the mystery of the last question.

After listening to Elder Sun's words, Ye Leng'an's mouth twitched involuntarily. It never occurred to her that this last question was actually Elder Sun's whim. And she was the only one among all the candidates who could answer.

"Student Ye Xiao, you are really talented in mathematics." When Elder Sun looked at Ye Leng'an, it was as if he had seen a rare treasure. "So, I came here today to ask you one thing. I wonder if you are interested in being my student!"

Hearing such words, Ye Leng'an didn't say anything, but Zheng Anyang beside him became excited.

You must know that Mr. Sun is not only a leading figure in the Chinese mathematics circle, but also well-known in the international mathematics circle. Being able to become his student will definitely make a lot of achievements in the field of mathematics in the future.

Now Mr. Sun only has two students, both of whom are internationally famous mathematicians. Even one of them once won the Fields Medal.

It's just that, for so many years, Mr. Sun has not accepted any more students. Unexpectedly, he actually fell in love with Ye Leng'an, this is really an unexpected surprise!

However, Ye Leng'an was obviously not that excited. After hearing what Sun Lao said, she was stunned for a moment, and after she realized it, she was silent for a moment before she said, "Sun Lao, thank you for your kindness. But, to be honest, I don't have that much enthusiasm for mathematics. Besides, I don't plan to develop in this area in the future, so I'm sorry, I can't promise you."

Elder Sun didn't expect Ye Leng'an to reject him so directly. He quickly tried to persuade him, Student Ye Xiao, you may not know yourself enough. You are really talented in mathematics. After listening to your narration, I know that as long as you are willing to work hard in mathematics, your achievements in the future will definitely not be lower than mine.

It can be said that Ye Leng'an is the most talented student he has ever seen in so many years, so he is really unwilling to give up such a good seed easily.

Zheng Anyang on the side is also very anxious, he can see that this is definitely a good opportunity for Ye Lengan.

So, he also helped to persuade, "Student Ye Leng'an, Mr. Sun is right, since you have such a talent, it really shouldn't be wasted. As for hobbies, they can be cultivated!"

After listening to what the two said, Ye Leng'an's decision remained unchanged, and his attitude was also very firm, "Old Sun, Principal Zheng, I know what you mean, but I really don't plan to continue my studies in mathematics. I already have a clear direction, so I'm sorry."

Seeing Ye Leng'an's resolute attitude, Elder Sun was a little disappointed. However, he didn't try to force others, but asked, "Student Ye, I don't know if it's convenient for you to tell me. What major do you plan to study in the future?"

"Traditional Chinese medicine!" Ye Leng'an said firmly, "Western medicine has always been the mainstream in medicine these years. However, I think our Chinese medicine is no worse than western medicine. The things left by our ancestors are definitely much better than those from foreign countries."

"Many difficult and miscellaneous diseases that cannot be solved by western medicine should be solved by Chinese medicine in the end! I just want to let the world see that the things in our country are absolutely no worse than those in foreign countries."

"Well said." Hearing Ye Leng'an's words, Elder Sun felt his blood boiled a little. Looking at Ye Leng'an's eyes, he became more and more appreciative, "Student Ye Xiao has such lofty ambitions, which is really admirable! Although it is a pity for your talent in mathematics, but if this is your choice, then I still respect it."

Persuasion failed. Although it was a bit regrettable, Mr. Sun was not a stubborn person, so he got up quickly and left.

However, before leaving, he looked at Ye Leng'an and said, "Student Ye Xiao, I hope to see you in Imperial University in two and a half years. I believe you can definitely be admitted to our school."

After hearing Elder Sun's words, Ye Lengan curled up a meaningful smile and said, "Don't worry, Elder Sun, maybe you will see me again soon."

Elder Sun was a little confused, but he didn't continue to ask.

After Sun Lao left, only Zheng Anyang and Ye Leng'an were left in the principal's office.

Zheng Anyang looked at Ye Leng'an, smiled and joked, "Student Ye Leng'an, you came to find me early this morning, did you want me to fulfill your promise?"

"Yes!" Ye Leng'an didn't hide anything, and said bluntly, "Principal, you promised me before, as long as I won the first place in the Mathematical Olympiad, then you will agree to one of my requests. You should not regret it!"

"Definitely not." Zheng Anyang patted his chest confidently, and said, "What kind of request do you have, just tell me! I will definitely agree."

Ye Leng'an nodded, and then said, "Principal, my request is actually very simple. I want to skip to the third year of high school."

"Isn't it just asking for leave! How many days will it take, you..."

At the same time that Ye Leng'an spoke, Zheng Anyang spoke directly, but after hearing Ye Leng'an's words clearly, he almost jumped up, "What? What did you just say? You said you want to skip a grade?"

He never expected that Ye Leng'an would make such a request. Originally, he thought that Ye Leng'an's so-called request was just to ask for leave. He even had a leave note ready. But now, such a bomb was suddenly thrown at him, and it almost made him unable to react.

"Yes!" Ye Leng'an nodded, and then looked at Zheng Anyang with a smile, "Principal, don't forget that you promised me. A gentleman's words are hard to follow. You can't go back on your word!"

"No, I thought you were just asking for leave." Zheng Anyang couldn't help feeling a little headache, "Ye Leng'an, didn't you say before that you planned to enjoy the three years of high school life and didn't plan to take the college entrance examination early? Why did you suddenly decide to skip a grade now!"

He has already made plans to push Ye Lengan out to participate in those competitions in the next two and a half years. He knew very well that Ye Leng'an was not only good in mathematics, but also in other subjects.

However, now Ye Leng'an suddenly made such a request. If he really skipped a grade directly to the third year of high school, then he would be full of effort and calculation, and it would not be enough for a semester.

"I originally planned to do this. But later, I found out that whether I was in high school or not didn't seem to have a big impact on me." Ye Leng'an continued, "So, I think, I can actually go directly to the college entrance examination and start college life earlier."

"This" Zheng Anyang was a little embarrassed.

He didn't expect that Ye Leng'an would suddenly make such a request. For a while, he really didn't know how to deal with it. Moreover, school has already started, so if I transfer to the third year of high school rashly, I am afraid that it will affect other students.

"Principal, you promised me!" Ye Leng'an reminded, "You must not go back on your word, otherwise, I don't know if I can still do what I promised you in the future!"

Hearing Ye Leng'an's threat, Zheng Anyang's forehead almost drew black lines, "You are here to make trouble for me. Do you really think that jumping is so easy? If it is really so easy to arrange, I don't have to think about it here."

"Just find a class at random and put me in it!" Ye Leng'an said casually, "I don't care at all which class I'm in."

Because for her, no matter which class she is in, it is impossible for her to go to class obediently. Therefore, it doesn't matter which class she is in.

Zheng Anyang shook his head and continued, "If there is such a good arrangement, then I don't have to worry about it."

"Now the grades of each class in the third year of high school are almost fixed. Those students and teachers have followed up since the first year of high school. If your study is average, it doesn't make much difference in which class you are in. However, your grades are obvious to all. Before, you have done the test papers for the third year of high school with me. Judging from your test papers, your college entrance examination scores are not bad."

"You have to know that the bonuses of those teachers in the third year of high school are linked to the results of the college entrance examination. Now which class I give you is not fair to other classes."

Although it is a bit regretful, Ye Leng'an plans to finish high school so early, and cannot earn more honors for the school. However, he is not a stubborn person, nor will he hinder the development of students. Therefore, he did not object to Ye Leng'an skipping a grade. However, which class to arrange this in is a difficult problem.

Now Ye Leng'an is considered a celebrity in St. Ann High School. I believe that as long as she is said to be skipping a grade to the third grade, all the teachers in the third grade will definitely rush to get her.

Ye Leng'an didn't expect this to be the reason. After thinking about it, she said, "Principal, do you think this is okay? I will continue to be in Class F of the first year of high school, and when the college entrance examination, you can help me sign up as a student of the third year of high school, can you? As for if I do well in the exam, then I will be enrolled as a teacher in Class F."

After all, the teachers of other classes didn't want her, only the head teacher of Class F was willing to accept her. It doesn't seem too good if she leaves suddenly like this now.

After hearing Ye Leng'an's proposal, Zheng Anyang thought for a while, and finally nodded, "Only your solution seems to be the best. Since you have decided in this way, then do as you said!"

"Thank you, principal." After getting permission, Ye Leng'an's smile became brighter, and good words came out of his mouth as if he didn't want money, "Principal, you really understand the righteousness, and you still keep your word. I knew that as long as you promised everything, you would definitely not go back on your word."

Unexpectedly, things would go so smoothly. At first, she thought that the headmaster would try to persuade her, but unexpectedly, the other party agreed to her very quickly.

"Don't put a high hat on me here." Zheng Anyang gave Ye Leng'an an angry look, "I had planned to sign you up to participate in those competitions in the next two and a half years. Now it's good, it's all gone. Let me tell you, if you need to participate in the competition in the past six months, you can't refuse!"

"Absolutely not." Ye Leng'an said with a smile, "As long as I am still a student of this school, it is my responsibility to win glory for the school! How could I refuse! Besides, Principal, you understand the righteousness so well, I should repay you well!"

Listening to Ye Leng'an's nice words, Zheng Anyang didn't believe a single word, "Your words are just coaxing me."

"How could it be!" Ye Leng'an looked at Zheng Anyang, continued to smile and said, "Principal, although I lost two years of time to win the school, but I can come back with a top score in the college entrance examination! At that time, you will have more face than these competitions!"

When the number one scholar in the college entrance examination said it, it was as if he was just eating a simple meal.

However, although it is easy to say it, as long as it is said, Ye Leng'an will definitely do it. Moreover, she is still very confident in herself for winning the first prize in the college entrance examination.

After hearing Ye Leng'an's words, Zheng Anyang was a little excited. If he hadn't tried his best to control himself, he might have jumped up at this moment. He looked at Ye Leng'an firmly, and said, "What you said is true? How sure are you that you can win the title of champion in the college entrance examination?"

If this is said from someone else's mouth, then he may have to think twice before deciding whether to trust the other party. However, when Ye Leng'an said this, he would not doubt it at all.

Because all along, as long as Ye Leng'an has promised, it will definitely come true. Just like this time in the Olympiad, she promised to win the first place. Now it's really time to get the first place.

If Ye Leng'an can really become the champion of the college entrance examination this time, it will definitely be a big surprise for their school. You know, the competition in the college entrance examination is much fiercer than that in the Mathematical Olympiad. That is, candidates from all over the country are squeezing the single-plank bridge together! In the past ten years, their school has not produced a top scorer in the college entrance examination.

Hearing Zheng Anyang's question, Ye Leng'an said confidently, "I'm 100% sure that I can win the title of number one in the college entrance examination."

She is not immodest, but very confident in herself.

"Okay." Zheng Anyang nodded, "Then I'll let someone arrange it for you later, and get your school status sorted out. Wait until June of this year, and you will take the college entrance examination with the third-year students!"

"Thank you, principal." Ye Leng'an nodded in gratitude.

"Okay, if there is nothing else, then go to class as soon as possible!" Zheng Anyang waved his hand and said, "It's better to let your class teacher and classmates know that you are still in this school."

Although this is really a joke, there is also a certain reality in it. People like Ye Leng'an ask for leave frequently, and even ask for leave for ten and a half months. It's really not surprising that the class teacher and classmates have such thoughts.

After hearing Zheng Anyang's words, Ye Leng'an felt a little speechless, but she obediently left the principal's office and planned to return to her own classroom.

But, unexpectedly, not long after she left the principal's office, before she returned to the classroom, she met Ye Xiyuan on the way.

It seems that she and Ye Xiyuan are really destined! And it's still evil.

She believed that there was nothing to say between herself and Ye Xiyuan, so she planned to bypass Ye Xiyuan and go back to the classroom.

But, unexpectedly, even seeing her attitude like this, Ye Xiyuan still blocked her way, "Wait a minute, Ye Leng'an, don't leave yet."
