“Exactly! I haven’t even signed up yet!”
“Who made the cut? Tell us, I’m dying to know!”
“I’m definitely in, haha.”
Upon hearing their class head mention the National Mathematics Competition, the classroom atmosphere instantly buzzed with renewed excitement. Students began discussing various topics related to the upcoming contest.
Indeed, while yesterday’s Campus Belle competition had been lively, they were, after all, still students.
Their most crucial task remained their studies!
Their goal was to ace the college entrance examination, gain admission to a prestigious university, and forge a future brimming with promise.
Moreover, the rewards for this National Mathematics Competition were exceedingly generous.
Beyond the substantial prize money for the team competition, the top three individual winners were guaranteed direct admission to Li University. This alone stirred a competitive fervor in many hearts.
Winning a prize meant securing their future university enrollment!
“Quiet down, everyone. The contestant slots aren’t set in stone. If any of you possess exceptional mathematical prowess and can score above 95 on a practice test, you can successfully displace one of the current participants and become a new member. Of course, there’s a catch: you must initiate your challenge within one week from today! No latecomers will be accepted.”
“There’s such a rule?!”
“That’s terrifying! It’s just a competition, yet they’re using a ‘king of the hill’ format!”
“Doesn’t that mean even successful registration isn’t secure? Good thing I’m a slacker; I’ll leave the excitement to the academic elites!”
However, when the class head spoke again, the classroom erupted into another round of fervent discussion.
Even though the initial participants had been decided, there was still a pathway to oust someone and claim a spot. This method ensured that the competing members would possess the highest academic standards in the entire school.
Amidst the students’ excitement, Ji Wenyan seized the moment to inquire if Bai Mengze intended to participate in the competition.
He knew he couldn’t possibly contend in such an academic-focused contest, so he didn’t harbor much personal interest.
Yet, observing Bai Mengze’s visibly enthusiastic demeanor, Ji Wenyan found his curiosity piqued. Surely, an academic powerhouse like Bai Mengze would join, wouldn’t she?
“Yes, I’d heard about it in advance and was quite keen to participate,” Bai Mengze replied. “Now that I’ve decided not to squander my final high school days, I’ve committed to competing.”
“Is that so! Then I wish you the best of luck in winning first place, just like you did in the Campus Belle competition!”
“Winning the Campus Belle competition was all thanks to your help! As for the math competition, to be honest, I’m not very confident.”
“??? Aren’t your grades excellent? Why the lack of confidence?”
“Good grades only apply to our school. This competition is national, meaning ace students from other schools will also be participating. There might be some incredibly formidable individuals.”
As she spoke of the National Mathematics Competition, a subtle hint of worry flickered across Bai Mengze’s face. She couldn’t predict what results she would achieve.
While Li University wasn’t Bai Mengze’s ultimate goal—her sights were set on the generous prize money—a low ranking would not yield significant financial rewards.
Previously, adrift in uncertainty about her future, Bai Mengze hadn’t harbored any proactive aspirations.
However, after encountering Ji Wenyan, her once bleak days had blossomed with color.
It was as if a small boat, caught in a tempest at sea and utterly helpless, had been discovered by a patrolling rescue vessel.
Receiving Ji Wenyan’s aid, Bai Mengze had rekindled her hope in the world.
Yet, new challenges emerged. While she had accepted Ji Wenyan’s help, it didn’t mean she should run to him with every difficulty she faced.
For matters she could resolve herself, Bai Mengze yearned to be self-reliant.
Money, for instance.
After Liang Quan was hospitalized, Bai Mengze faced a lawsuit and a substantial sum in compensation. Though she had sold her house to cover the costs, her savings were now dwindling.
She needed a reliable source of income to manage her daily expenses and future needs. As a student, working a regular job wasn’t an option, so she had to explore other avenues for earning money.
The advent of the National Competition presented an excellent opportunity.
