Starting from a top student and marching towards the sea of ​​stars

Chapter 53 It's Him, It's Him, It's Him

"Phew...it's finally my turn this time."

Tang Ding was also a little curious as to who the person who took the interview in front of him was.

At this moment, Ning Chen walked out of the examination room and gently closed the door.

Seeing Ning Chen's appearance clearly, Tang Ding couldn't help saying in surprise:

"Is it you...Ning Chen?"

When Ning Chen heard the words, he followed the voice and looked over. After realizing that the person was Tang Ding, he ignored him and walked straight past Tang Ding.

At this moment, Tang Ding thought about all the causes and consequences of Ning Chen taking the oral exam before him.

"If the order of the oral test is really based on the results of the written test... Doesn't that mean that Ning Chen's written test results are better than mine?"

In addition, Ning Chen had been in the examination room for so long just now, Tang Ding further imagined the scene in which Ning Chen answered Qiu Chengtong's questions fluently in the examination room, which made Qiu Chengtong very satisfied.

Thinking of these, Tang Ding only felt more and more flustered.

"No... maybe that's not the case... the order of the oral exam may have been randomly selected. Ning Chen stayed in there for so long just now, or it may have been delayed for so long because he couldn't answer the questions... Yes, it must be That’s it…”

Tang Ding tried to make himself believe in these results that he didn't quite believe in, and tried to stabilize his emotions.

"Classmate Tang Ding, you can go in and take the oral exam."

The staff outside the examination room saw that Tang Ding was dazed outside, so they had to politely urge him.

"Okay, teacher, I'll go in now."

Tang Ding was so nervous that he did not perform his oral examination very well, and he seemed a little flustered when answering questions.

In less than 10 minutes, Tang Ding's oral examination ended hastily.

Since the interviews of Tang Ding and Ning Chen were next to each other, the strong contrast made Qiu Chengtong's impression of Tang Ding rather ordinary.

In addition, Ning Chen's oral exam took a long time, Qiu Chengtong also deliberately shortened the time of Tang Ding's oral exam.

Coming out of the examination room, Tang Ding was in a bad mood, knowing that he did not satisfy Qiu Chengtong.

"Brother Ding, why did you come out so soon?"

Other students waiting outside saw Tang Ding coming out and asked curiously.

"Maybe my symptoms are relatively mild and the doctor has nothing to ask," Tang Ding said helplessly.

"Brother Ding, to be serious, what are the oral exams?"

"Just ask a few random questions, as if you were chatting normally. You don't need to ask so many questions. It is estimated that the oral test may not be included in the final grade at all."

At this time, Ning Chen and several teachers were already on their way back to the hotel.

"Ning Chen, why did the oral exam just last so long? What did Professor Qiu and the others ask you?"

"Actually, I didn't ask any particularly professional questions, and the atmosphere was quite relaxed. The most important thing was to ask me what my favorite mathematical theorem was, and I told them about the proof process."

"What, did you just ask these? This is easier than my graduate interview."

Tong Yicheng was very surprised by Ning Chen's answer. Liao Jun also said after hearing this:
"It seems that the purpose of this oral examination is more that Professor Qiu wants to know more about you. From this point of view, there may really be no results in the oral examination."

"That would be the best. We, Ning Chen, are the first to take part in the oral examination, which is enough to explain the problem. If nothing else, the gold medal is definitely indispensable." "I just don't know how many gold medals it is. Hey, I really want to hurry up. Let’s start the award ceremony.”

Talking about this, several teachers seemed even more excited than Ning Chen.

……

After a whole morning, Qiu Cheng and the finals of the undergraduate mathematics competition ended as scheduled.

After Ning Chen, no one of the students who took the oral exam stayed in for more than 15 minutes, and some even came out within a few minutes.

This is partly because the teachers want to squeeze time and make up for the extra time spent with Ning Chen.

On the other hand, none of the subsequent candidates were as astonishing as Ning Chen.

After lunch, the afternoon awards ceremony will begin soon.

The contestants and team teachers from each school came to the awards ceremony after receiving the notice, looking forward to the final results.

When it was time for the awards ceremony to start, Professor Qiu Chengtong came to the stage, and there was warm applause from the audience.

After the applause ended, Qiu Chengtong picked up the microphone and said:
"I am very happy to meet the best undergraduate students in mathematics in the country here. From the registration, to the semi-final written examination, the final written examination and the oral examination, it lasted more than three months. Today, the first class The Qiu Chengtong College Student Mathematics Competition has come to a successful conclusion."

"The reason why I want to create such a mathematics competition is to find students who really like mathematics, are good at mathematics, and can devote themselves to mathematics research in the future. We have to blaze a trail that others have not taken, and I hope that everyone can In the next ten years, or even five years, we can make outstanding contributions in the field of mathematics."

"In addition, I also want to give students from different universities a fair chance to compete through this competition. What makes me happy is that this competition does have some emerging students who are not from top universities... …”

Everyone knew that Qiu Chengtong was referring to Ning Chen from Shengzhou University, and he couldn't help but focus on Ning Chen.

"Okay, I know everyone is looking forward to the final list of winners. I will start with the announcement of the individual awards. Students who have read their names, please come to the stage to accept the awards."

Hearing that the list of winners will finally be announced, everyone is excited.

"Analysis and Differential Equations, No. 1——"

"Shengzhou University, Ning Chen!"

As Ning Chen's name was called out, applause and exclamation instantly erupted in the auditorium.

"No.1... is really Ning Chen!"

"That's awesome. Students from Shengzhou University can all win gold medals!"

"No one doubts Ning Chen this time. Everyone takes the exam together in the finals. This is the real strength!"

Several teachers from Shengzhou University were very excited and jumped up from their seats, celebrating Ning Chen's No.1 in the main event.

Hearing his name being called out by Qiu Chengtong, Ning Chen was not too surprised. After all, this was his main event, and his score in the semi-finals was No.1 in the written test.

After accepting the congratulations from the teachers, Ning Chen walked towards the podium.

"No. 2, Shuimu University, Tang Ding."

Compared to Ning Chen, Tang Ding didn't get much admiration. Coupled with Tang Ding's status as a student of Shuimu University, it made his No.2 score in individual items seem a bit taken for granted.

Tang Ding felt a little disappointed that his result was lower than Ning Chen's, but after all, this is not his main subject, and getting the silver award is not a bad result.
