At the agreed-upon meeting place, Nan Yan asked about Feng Tianji and the other students’ exam results.
After all, she had taught these students before.
Although she had taught them computer courses, it was only natural for her to care about their studies.
Zhang Lingxian couldn’t help but laugh when he saw the three of them looking disheartened.
However, he quickly suppressed the rising corners of his mouth and walked over to Nan Yan, saying, “Nan Yan, when will you have time to visit the Institute of Computing? The director has been mentioning you to me.”
Ever since Nan Yan helped them out with a big favor at the Institute of Computing last time, Tan Lin had been singing her praises nonstop.
Naturally, this had made Zhang Lingxian increasingly annoyed, as he felt that Tan Lin was becoming more critical of him and constantly used Nan Yan as a benchmark to point out his shortcomings…
Could he be blamed for that?
How many people in the world were as abnormal as Nan Yan? At such a young age, her computer skills had already reached the world’s top level.
He did want to compete with Nan Yan, but was it something he could achieve just by thinking about it?
Thinking about the plans she had arranged for herself during the summer vacation, Nan Yan proposed, “Can we do it after the school starts?” She simply couldn’t find the time during the summer vacation.
“Of course!” Zhang Lingxian smiled and said, “As long as you’re willing to go, let me know in advance when you have the time!”
He would convey this good news to the director later.
During this period, he had been constantly tormented by Tan Lin’s nagging, hoping that Nan Yan would be brought to the Institute more often.
Now that Nan Yan had agreed, he hoped that the director would ease up on him in the future!
After some small talk, the group got into the car and headed straight to Imperial University.
Imperial University.
The annual National Youth Computer Competition was held here.
A total of 168 high schools from across the country had passed the preliminary selection and had come here for the finals.
The competition was taking place in Imperial University’s multimedia classroom.
When Nan Yan and her group arrived, most of the teams from other schools had also arrived and were waiting for the competition to begin.
Seeing that Feng Tianji and his team looked nervous even before the competition started, Zhang Lingxian comforted them aloud, “Don’t be nervous. Trust your team leader; she definitely has the ability to lead you to first place!”
With Nan Yan, a trump card like her, there was no need to worry about anything.
Zhang Lingxian was even a bit envious of the luck of these three students.
With a genius like Nan Yan leading the way, as long as she shows up and wins first place in the competition, they won’t even need to take the college entrance exam; they will be granted direct admission.
Zhang Lingxian’s words earned him a cold glance from Nan Yan.
Later, amidst the excitement of Feng Tianji and his teammates, she calmly added, “Don’t waste the efforts of Teacher Zhang’s teaching.”
The implied message was that relying solely on her abilities for an effortless advancement wasn’t possible.
Zhang Lingxian’s face turned somewhat awkward.
After he finished speaking, he also had an intuitive feeling that he had misspoken.
The opportunity for direct admission is so rare; one can’t simply rely on an easy win, genuine talent and effort are still required.
Moreover, even if he doesn’t believe in his own teaching ability, he should have faith in Nan Yan.
After all, Nan Yan had substituted for him in classes and had taught them well.
“Ahem… Nan Yan, the team leader, is right. Everyone must work hard and give their best in this competition!”
The three of them nodded eagerly. “We will!”
“However, it’s already unfair for me to participate in this competition, giving you guys an advantage-”
Nan Yan clicked her tongue and, without waiting for Feng Tianji and the others to express joy, calmly continued, “But the direct admission is only a qualification. If you want to become industry elites in the future, you must have real skills and knowledge. I suggest that after the computer competition ends, you make an effort to improve your general knowledge and your studies.”
“After all, even if you pursue a computer-related major in the future, you can’t neglect the foundation of general knowledge.”
Her words caused changes in the expressions of Feng Tianji, Zhou Shaojie, and Zhao Ziang.
Originally, the three of them were thinking that once they secured the direct admission qualification, they could relax and not have to work as hard as other high school seniors.
But Nan Yan’s words woke them up!
At the same time, they secretly resolved in their hearts to make the most of the remaining year and work even harder!
Zhang Lingxian noticed their changing emotions.
He couldn’t help but regard Nan Yan with new respect.
It was a great loss to the education sector that she wasn’t a full-time teacher!
Thinking about her enthusiasm when she filled in as a substitute teacher, he couldn’t help but lean in and quietly ask her, “Yanyan, do you have any interest…”
“No!” Nan Yan interrupted him before he could finish his sentence.
Zhang Lingxian:
Did she already know what he was going to ask even before he finished his question?
Once again, feeling a bit embarrassed, Zhang Lingxian didn’t continue the previous topic.
Not long after, the organizers announced that the teachers of the teams should go for the draw to determine the groups. Zhang Lingxian entrusted Feng Tianji and his group to Nan Yan and went to participate in the draw himself.
At this moment, the largest multimedia lecture hall at Imperial University was already filled to capacity.
Many people were seated in the audience.
Right in the center of the front row, there were Old Madam Qin and Qin Shiyu.
Not far from them, in the second row, were Shen Junqing and Bai Chen.
The two of them even brought recording equipment like die-hard fans, ready to capture Nan Yan’s competition performance.
Qin Lu arrived a bit later without giving any prior notice.
The front row seats were already full, and since he was in a wheelchair and couldn’t easily move to the front, he chose to sit in the last row to watch.
Wu Yue looked at the bustling environment and furrowed his brow, saying, “Young Master, should I go and ask the principal to arrange a seat in the front?”
Qin Lu replied calmly, “No need.”
Even from where he was, he could clearly see his little one.
There was no need to go to the front and join the crowd.
With Zhang Lingxian returning soon with the draw results and competition rules, he began to explain, “Because there are too many participating schools, we are using a group stage format. The 168 schools have been divided into ten groups, and the first-place winner from each group will advance to the second-round finals.
“We have been placed in Group Three, and we will soon be heading to the computer lab to participate in the group stage competition with other schools in Group Three.”
Due to the large number of participants, the multimedia lecture hall couldn’t accommodate so many computers. The final round would be held there. For the group stage, there would be dedicated cameras broadcasting the competition to the multimedia lecture hall, allowing the audience to watch it as a live broadcast.
Upon arriving at the computer lab for Group Three’s competition, Zhang Lingxian instructed, “Nan Yan, we teachers can’t enter here. I’ll be waiting outside for your good news.”
“Okay.”
Nan Yan nodded and led the three students into the room.
As everyone participating in the competition took their seats and prepared, the live broadcast projection in the multimedia lecture hall was activated.
Whether it was intentional or coincidental, the projection screen froze on Nan Yan’s image when it was turned on.
“Ah! That female student is so pretty!”
“Which school is she from? Her looks are out of this world!” “Look at her school uniform, she’s from Zhide High School!”
“Damn! She’s my goddess!”
