Chapter 141 The Dean Personally Comes to Poach Talent
"Teacher Xiao?"
Lin Chen looked completely bewildered.
Xiao Li handed the chalk to Lin Chen, then went to her seat and sat down.
"Teacher Xiao, what are you doing? Isn't this your class?"
"No no no!"
Xiao Li shook her head.
"Lin Chen, you'll be teaching this class! I noticed that your explanation of the last question was quite good."
And what topic did you write on the blackboard earlier?
Lin Chen gave an awkward smile, but before he could speak, Chen Xiaoxiao spoke for him.
"Teacher Xiao, that was a question that Lin Chen set himself."
Chen Xiaoxiao handed the questions she had written down on a piece of paper to Xiao Li.
Xiao Li glanced at it a few times, then her expression turned serious.
"Lin Chen, you can continue. I want to see the questions you've set."
As she spoke, Xiao Li took a picture of Lin Chen's problem and sent it to the other teachers in the math Olympiad team.
Lin Chen found himself in a difficult position on the podium, so he gritted his teeth and continued lecturing.
Anyway, it's not like he hasn't substituted for a teacher before.
It doesn't matter where you speak.
It's just in a different place.
So, Lin Chen cleared his throat and said, "Let's start with the first question..."
Soon after, the other teachers from the math Olympiad team also arrived.
They had all heard about Lin Chen from Xiao Li.
I never expected this kid to be so good at solving problems; the problems he created were actually of such a high standard!
However, when they arrived at the classroom and saw Lin Chen explaining the morning's test questions on the podium, they were even more shocked!
Several teachers appeared somewhat dazed.
Lin Chen was standing on the podium, explaining the morning's training test papers.
Yet, for a single problem, he could provide several solutions besides the standard answer.
Lin Chen was even able to guess most of the reasoning behind their original solution to the problem.
Just as Lin Chen was about to finish explaining the first question, Xiao Li suddenly looked up.
"Lin Chen, if you were to set the questions, what kind of questions would you ask for this topic?"
Without much thought, Lin Chen spoke:
"This question? This question tests counting and path selection. Here's how I would approach it..."
Lin Chen picked up the chalk and wrote the question in a corner of the blackboard:
Let n be a positive integer, and a triangle be composed of circles arranged in the shape of an equilateral triangle.
For each i = 1, 2, ..., n, the i-th row contains i circles, of which exactly one circle is colored red.
A swordsman's path is a sequence of circles that starts at the top row, then repeatedly moves from one circle to one of the two circles below it, and ends at the bottom row.
Let n represent the maximum value of k such that there exists a swordsman's path containing at least a number of red circles in each triangle.
Looking at the new question that Lin Chen casually came up with.
The teachers of the math Olympiad team were dumbfounded!
powerful!
too strong!
Having created countless problems for the math Olympiad team, they could naturally spot it at a glance.
They've definitely never seen this question before.
However, the quality of the questions is definitely not low.
Many of them didn't even understand it at first.
Several of the teachers had worked in the math Olympiad team for many years and considered themselves experts in the field.
But unexpectedly, in front of Lin Chen, a member of the math Olympiad team, I suddenly felt that I should retire.
One student's questions were more sophisticated than those of all the teachers.
Why not retire soon, or continue to embarrass yourself?
Next, Lin Chen continued his explanation on the stage.
The other members of the math Olympiad team looked at Lin Chen with admiration.
As for the teachers, they were all stunned until Xiao Li pulled them out one by one for a short meeting.
After Lin Chen finished explaining all the questions.
Xiao Li walked in and announced something.
We hope that Lin Chen will be responsible for setting the training questions for the math Olympiad team in the future.
The other teachers will assist Lin Chen.
"Huh? Me? Teacher, are you kidding me?"
"No, this was a decision we made after unanimous discussion! Everyone thinks your question is very novel, and your explanation of the question has also been very helpful to us!"
"But Teacher Xiao, if I do all the work, what about myself?"
"The capable should do more work, right? By setting exam papers for them, aren't you also improving yourself?"
Upon hearing Xiao Li's words, Yang Zongyuan and the others stood up.
"Lin Chen, we're counting on you!"
"We will forever remember your selfless spirit!"
Lin Chen rolled his eyes. "Pah, pah, pah, what do you mean by selflessness?"
However, after glancing at Chen Xiaoxiao, who was looking at him with eyes full of admiration, he finally sighed.
"Fine, I'll agree then."
Seeing that Lin Chen had agreed, the instructors who had been worried that he might not agree rushed in and surrounded him.
"Lin Chen, how did you come up with that question just now?"
"Lin Chen, isn't this question too difficult?"
"Lin Chen..."
Seeing this group of teachers surrounding Lin Chen and asking for his advice, Yang Zongyuan and the others were dumbfounded.
"This is the first time I've ever seen a teacher ask a student for advice."
"Yeah, I've never seen anything like this before..."
It wasn't until an hour later that Lin Chen finally finished dealing with those math Olympiad teachers.
He turned to look at Chen Xiaoxiao, who was still sitting in the classroom waiting for him.
As for Yang Zongyuan and the others, they had already made their escape long ago.
"You've worked hard, let's go eat," Chen Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
"Ah."
As soon as the two stepped out, they were stopped by someone.
This person was none other than Wu Youguang, the vice dean of the School of Science.
He had actually been standing outside the door for a long time.
"Hehe, young man, we've finally met."
Lin Chen was completely dumbfounded: "???"
We know each other?
Before Lin Chen could react, Elder Wu spoke up:
"You brat! Didn't you and that bastard Lao Wang come to me about the Fang Zhouzi incident last time?"
Lin Chen finally realized what was going on.
"Are you Professor Wu from Tsinghua or Peking University?"
"Yes."
Old Wu smiled broadly and then asked, "Lin Chen, is this our first meeting? I've been standing outside for so long just to ask you a question."
Are you interested in studying at Tsinghua or Peking University?
Damn, it happened again.
Lin Chen guessed that this person was still up to no good.
He could only give an awkward smile: "Uh, Mr. Wu, thank you for what happened last time, but I've already said that I don't want to go to Tsinghua or Peking University."
"What did Tsinghua and Peking University do to you? So many people want to get in but can't!"
Old Wu said in a fit of anger:
"But if you want to, as long as you ask, even if you get a zero on the college entrance exam, I can still let you in!"
"Mr. Wu, but my girlfriend doesn't want to go to Tsinghua or Peking University."
"girlfriend?"
Old Wu almost choked on his own saliva and coughed a few times.
Who is your girlfriend?
Lin Chen immediately raised Chen Xiaoxiao's hand.
To everyone's surprise, Old Wu then looked at Chen Xiaoxiao with a smile.
"Excuse me, are you interested in getting into Tsinghua or Peking University?"
puff!
This time, Lin Chen almost choked on his own saliva.
Mr. Wu, where is your integrity?
Unable to persuade himself, he turned around and tried to convince Chen Xiaoxiao?
The Dean himself is trying to poach talent? That can't be right.
Just then, a loud voice suddenly rang out from Chen Xiaoxiao's hand.
"Old Wu! You're not being honest! Lin Chen is only here at Tsinghua and Peking University to prepare for the math Olympiad, not for you to poach him!"
