Chapter 850: Win the First Prize
The final was open to the public, so many reporters came to the classroom as well, and recorded the whole process . They pointed their cameras at Gu Ning most of the time, because they had all heard of Gu Ning’s scores in the preliminary and rematch . In their eyes, Gu Ning was a genius .
Ten questions would be projected on the screen in the final . The first one was a verbal math question and it had to be finished within 30 seconds .
4485977 plus 2333201 minus 566177 minus 1287212 equals ?
Gu Ning gave it a glance, and got the answer within five seconds, then she wrote her answer down on the paper . She was the first one who handed in the paper .
Everyone was shocked by her speed of calculating .
Thirty seconds later, other than Gu Ning, there were another two students who wrote their answers down .
Gu Ning was the first one, so the teacher revealed her answer first . It was correct .
Since Gu Ning’s answer was right, there was no need to show the second and third students’ answers whether theirs were right or wrong .
The second math question required a written response, and the time was limited to 10 minutes, which was the normal time for a math question . Gu Ning, however, didn’t need that much time . She understood the question with a simple glance, then began to write her answer down on paper .
Seeing that, everyone was amazed again . Gu Ning was really very different from her peers!
All the students who could be in the top 10 were excellent enough, but Gu Ning still stood out from them .
In those math experts’ eyes, Gu Ning was also unbelievable .
In the following minutes, Gu Ning was always the first one who wrote down the answer and handed the paper to the teacher, and people started to get used to it .
Gu Ning finished the 10th question at an unusually fast pace as well . She was the winner from the first question till the last .
People were too shocked to feel surprised right now . Even those math experts felt that they couldn’t do better than Gu Ning, because Gu Ning was able to finish the exercises within a quarter of the time .
Some math experts got jealous of Gu Ning, because she was only a high school student, but she could already do better than them .
However, only mean people held that idea . Most of the math experts were quite excited to see such an outstanding student like Gu Ning .
…
The moment the finals was over, the award ceremony began .
Gu Ning was always the first one who wrote down the correct answer, so the judges had to pick another two students with the highest marks out of the other participants .
The student who won the second prize was a boy from another city, while Zhang Zikai won the third prize .
Song Siyao was mad at the result, seeing that both Gu Ning and Zhang Zikai won prizes . Besides, she couldn’t get a luxurious car as a gift if she failed to win a prize .
The awards for the first prize were a trophy, a certificate of honor and fifty thousand yuan . The awards for the second prize were a certificate of honor and thirty thousand yuan . And the awards for the third prize were a certificate of honor and twenty thousand yuan .
Although they money wasn’t much, it was just a way of encouragement .
After the award ceremony, reporters surrounded the prize-winners at once to interview them .
The boy and Zhang Zikai were very nervous in front of the cameras, but Gu Ning stayed calm as always, which impressed everyone .
Reporter: Gu Ning, many people are quite curious about how you managed to write down the correct answers to those questions within such a short time . Can you tell us your skills?
Gu Ning: It is because I have a good memory, and I can store everything in my mind after reading it once .
Hearing that, people were all surprised, but none of them dared to suspect her . They couldn’t claim that she got the correct answers beforehand, because the vice director of the Education Bureau was also here . In addition, some math experts had asked Gu Ning several math questions on the site, and Gu Ning answered them correctly within a short time too .
Those reporters were well-educated as well, so they understood what they shouldn’t say .
Gu Ning’s outstanding performance today impressed many math experts, and they all hoped that Gu Ning could be their apprentice . Although Gu Ning was very good at math, she was just a high school student after all, and there was a lot she still needed to learn .
Those math experts, on the other hand, had a lot of knowledge about math, and they were also good teachers .
However, Gu Ning rejected their offers .
…
The math competition had ended, and the students along with their teachers would fly back to their cities that afternoon .
Gu Ning would stay in City B, because she lived there now, and she would only go back to City F for the National College Entrance Examination .
Su Anya and Zhang Zikai were unwilling to leave Gu Ning, but they finally had to wave good-bye to each other .
…
Gu Ning went to the Tang family’s house afterwards .
Although it wasn’t a big deal for Gu Ning to win the first prize, the older generation in the Tang family all felt happy for her . In fact, they already believed that Gu Ning could win the first prize when Gu Ning told them that she was going to participate in it . They even prepared a celebration party for her .
When they saw the trophy and certificate of honor, they were excited again, and felt proud of Gu Ning .
Tang Haifeng called his old friends and kept showing off his outstanding granddaughter’s achievement .
His old friends were all shocked by the news, and felt envious of him . They all wished that their grandchildren could be as outstanding as Gu Ning .
Before long, the video of the final was uploaded to the Internet, and it soon went viral . Gu Ning, once again, became a hot topic throughout social media .
