My winter break homework was exposed, and I, a vocational school student, am now being snapped up by

"Holy crap! Someone actually got a perfect score? I'm so tired. As expected, mortals can't understand geniuses."

"I was wondering why that team leader was so confident. Turns out there really are geniuses in this world! Sigh, I can't help but envy them."

"I'm convinced! Let's see which genius got a perfect score tonight!"

……

Upon seeing this message, the teachers and students who had been following the exam were all taken aback.

No one expected that someone could get a perfect score on such a difficult exam.

Indeed, even among top students, there are different levels.

Many students who usually pride themselves on being top students lowered their heads after realizing this.

From this perspective, Xiao Li's Weibo posts did make these top students behave a bit more restrained.

Then, it was nine o'clock in the evening.

The organizing committee of this math Olympiad selection competition announced the results of the exam and the two new members selected for the national math Olympiad team on the official website of the National Mathematics League.

"It's out! It's out! Refresh the page!"

In the office of the No. 1 High School's mathematics department, Principal Lin and a group of senior high school mathematics teachers worked overtime.

Just so I could know the results of this selection as soon as possible.

If Lin Chen and Chen Xiaoxiao are both selected this time, then No. 1 Middle School will have set a new record!

Two students from the same school were selected for the National Mathematical Olympiad Team!

This achievement is among the best in the country!

They didn't check the two people's scores directly; instead, they kept refreshing the official website's news page.

Soon, the long-awaited news finally appeared!

"Based on their performance in this math Olympiad selection competition, two students will be chosen to join the national math Olympiad team. They are, in order..."

Lin Chen from Donghai No.1 High School! Achieved the highest score in the country with 42 points!

Chen Xiaoxiao from Donghai No.1 High School achieved a total score of 41.5, ranking second nationwide!

Congratulations to the two students who have successfully enrolled in the National Mathematical Olympiad Team!

"In! In!"

The teachers in the office were overjoyed when they saw the two names.

I felt like I had truly made a name for myself in front of the entire nation this time.

"Haha! Maybe the two of them can win a gold medal together in the math Olympiad!"

Upon hearing Han Yu's excited words, Principal Lin couldn't help but recall that scene.

Then he suddenly clutched his chest and shook his head.

"Oh no... that scene is too stimulating, I'm afraid my heart won't be able to take it."

Laughter immediately filled the office again.

Then came the voice of Director Ye, the Dean of Students: "Principal Lin, should we issue a congratulatory notice again this time?"

Principal Lin's face suddenly hardened, and he said seriously, "Of course we have to give it! Not only do we have to give it, but we have to give it a big one!"

This is selection for the national math Olympiad team! In ancient times, wouldn't that be equivalent to becoming the top scholar in the imperial examination?

"Principal Lin, the top scorer is the number one in the country. They've only been selected for the national team; they should be considered as having passed the imperial examination..."

Director Ye interjected.

Incidentally, he teaches history.

"It's all the same! Quickly contact the TV tower, the newspaper, the advertising company, and the telecommunications company! This time we're going to send out a super good news announcement!"

When the finance department received the call, they immediately said with a headache, "Principal Lin, didn't we just send out two congratulatory notices?"

"How can that be the same? This time, Lin Chen won first place nationwide! Chen Xiaoxiao came in second! Such a huge honor should be known to everyone in the city!"

"All right……"

The finance person hung up the phone and was about to contact various media outlets and telecommunications companies when she suddenly saw a text message pop up on her phone.

"Warmest congratulations to Lin Chen, a student from Class 3-4 of Donghai Secondary Vocational Technical School, for winning first place in the National Mathematical Olympiad Selection Competition and being selected for the National Mathematical Olympiad Team!"

……

At this very moment, in the principal's office of Donghai Secondary Vocational Technical School.

Lin Chen's former principal, Peng Kang, looked at the congratulatory letter he had just received and sighed.

"Wow, I never thought Lin Chen was so amazing. He's even been selected for the national Olympic team!"

Beside him, Lin Chen's former homeroom teacher, Huang Feihong, smiled and said, "That kid has now become a dragon, just like a carp that has leaped over the Dragon Gate!"

"That's true, our vocational high school is too shallow to retain such a true talent."

Principal Peng nodded, then smiled and said, "It's not bad to be able to benefit from Lin Chen's success this time. Speaking of which, you're really amazing, Lao Huang, for being so sure that kid could be selected for the national team!"

Didn't you consider that if he didn't get selected, wouldn't the money we paid in advance for the congratulatory message be wasted?

Huang Feihong patted his chest: "That's my student, of course I have confidence in him!"

"Yeah."

Principal Lin laughed loudly, "Lin Chen came from here after all, so we should share in his honors. We can't let Donghai No.1 High School take all the credit!"

……

Upon seeing the congratulatory text message on his phone, Principal Lin of Donghai No. 1 Middle School was so angry that he trembled all over.

"Donghai Secondary Vocational Technical School is simply unethical! How could they pull this trick on us?"

Lin Chen's student records have been transferred to our school. What do his grades have to do with you?

He immediately called the finance department again, and as soon as the call connected, he roared:

"What are you doing? Didn't I tell you to send out the good news quickly? Why are you so slow? Donghai Vocational School has already sent theirs before us!"

After berating the finance department head, Principal Lin hung up the phone and said directly to Director Ye, "Don't wait for the finance department! Contact the telecommunications company now. I want the whole city... no, this time I want the entire province to see our good news!"

"Oh, and banners! Weibo, WeChat official accounts! We must let the whole country know that Lin Chen is a student of Donghai No. 1 High School!"

"Okay, okay, I'll contact them right away!"

At Principal Lin's command, Director Ye ran himself ragged.

……

At Lin Chen's home, his parents were stunned after receiving two congratulatory text messages.

Since Lin Chen became a top student, they have completely left him to his own devices.

Anyway, my child is a top student, so there's no need to worry about his studies.

All you need to do is provide meals every day.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chen suddenly pulled a big surprise on the two of them this time.

I accidentally won first place in the whole country!

Compared to this result.

What's so special about being recommended to Tsinghua or Peking University?

There are students who are recommended for admission every year, and while they may rank first in the country, very few can make it into the National Mathematical Olympiad Team!

"Old Li! Did you see the text message? My son got first place in the whole country! He made it into the National Mathematical Olympiad Team! My son!"

"Old Wang! What? You're asleep? Get up and check your text! My son made it into the National Math Olympiad team! What's the Math Olympiad? Whatever it is, it's the national team! He'll be representing the country in competitions!"

Lin's mother took the phone and called her relatives and friends one by one to show off.

Lin's father kept a low profile and didn't look for anyone else.

But he couldn't resist the congratulations from his superiors and colleagues.

"Thank you, sir, but not at all... That child is just naturally studious; it has nothing to do with us..."

Yes, yes, I will definitely educate him and make him work hard to win glory for the country!

Oh? Trying to get a permanent position next year? Thank you so much, thank you for your guidance, leader!

"Would you like to talk to my son for a bit? No problem!"

Lin's father immediately shouted towards Lin Chen's room:

"Son, don't stay in your room! You've made it into the National Mathematical Olympiad team! Come out and chat with my boss for a bit!"
