243 Do you speak English? No, I don't (3/6)

Under Wang Yufei's strong blow, Zhao Yuming, the only one in the team who was excited to meet him again, also became depressed.

What do you think of Wang Yufei’s answer?

If his sister hears this, she might clamor for a new brother.

This all-round attack made Zhao Yuming begin to wonder if the communication between himself and Guo Xiaoyi on WeChat was an act of abuse.



Fortunately, young people always recover quickly.

After a few days of intensive training in the capital and no exams scheduled, everyone's relationship became as good as ever.

After all, this time we are going abroad as a team, and it is actually a happy thing to have two ruthless people by our side.

Not to mention that by releasing Wang Yufei this time, the only ones who could be hit were the foreigners, so he felt even more comfortable.

So when the children finally got on the plane to Europe, they felt extremely happy.

Speaking of which, this can be considered a trip abroad at public expense.



After a flight of more than ten hours, the plane arrived at Heathrow Airport in the British capital.

The Chinese team leader had already arrived early to pick up the six children brought by the deputy team leader.

According to the schedule, the team leader of each country will arrive three days in advance to assist the organizing committee in handling some pre-match matters.

The venue for this Olympiad is Bath, a small town near the capital of Britain.

Although this city is small, with a permanent population of only 90,000, it has two world-renowned universities, the University of Bath and the University of Bath Springs.

In addition to the beautiful scenery, it is naturally excellent as a venue for the Olympiad with both a humanistic and academic atmosphere.

For Wang Yufei and Lu Yuxin, it has a different meaning.

For example, this is the first time for both of them to go abroad.

Still in a small town that looks very exotic and beautiful, the mood is of course very pleasant.

The only pity is probably that the discipline before the game is a little stricter.

After checking into the hotel, we immediately arranged for the children to rest and catch up on jet lag. Even if they were full of energy, they were not allowed to go out at will.

It's not even possible to ask for leave.

Fortunately, according to the schedule, the opening ceremony will be held on the afternoon of the next day, July 15th, and the exams will be held on the morning of July 16th and July 17th.

Following the three days of waiting for the final results from July 18 to July 20, we arranged for the children to visit the University of Bath and tour the scenery until the closing ceremony and farewell dinner were held on July 21.

In other words, there is still time to play, but you have to wait until after the exam is over.

The arrangements were good, but for the kids, being stuck in a hotel for days was clearly not an option.

Fortunately, the team leaders from each country do not mind the children communicating in this mathematics competition.

As long as there's no fighting, that's fine.

But then again, all the people who can come here are cultural people. Who can use their fists when they can use their brains?

It's not uncommon for fights to break out in Olympic games. The International Mathematical Olympiad has been held for 60 years, and there has never been an incident where young team members shook their fists when they disagreed.

It is enough to prove that people who study mathematics are most likely to be gentle and like to reason.

It is naturally good for people who like to reason to communicate more.

Let's make progress together.

Therefore, the team leaders from various countries will not only not prevent the team members from communicating with each other, but will even deliberately allow time for the team members to communicate.



Teenagers tend to get along quickly with each other.

But it is obvious that Wang Yufei, Lu Yuxin and Zhao Yuming, the three leaders of this year's China Mathematical Olympiad delegation, are not included in this list.

Lu Yuxin had a cold temperament and a deep pride.

Let's put it this way, in Lu Yuxin's opinion, except for Wang Yufei, all the men in this world are probably scum.

In Zhao Yuming's view, except for Wang Yufei, Lu Yuxin and him, everyone else is his younger brother.

As for Wang Yufei...

I'm just here to brush up on my grades, and I'll leave as soon as I'm done.

Forget about making friends.

Don't forget about the plastic friendships built over a few days.

It's more the subconscious mind that is at work.

The key factor is probably that whether it was his second system that attracted Apple's attention or the inside story he learned about the price increases of Intel and AMD, this young man who came out of a closed village just a year ago had a bad impression of foreign countries.

This is a conclusion drawn from purely rational logical analysis and judgment.

Once the so-called global village and the world are one family are peeled away, the essence of the relationship between countries is still a competitive relationship.

This is also the inevitable result derived from the theory of limited resources.

There are only so many total resources. If your family gets more, other families will inevitably get less.

There are always people eating from the bowl and looking into the pot.

I'm just afraid that someone will get too much.

Therefore, in Wang Yufei's view, competition has always been all-round.

As a backward person coming here to make friends, I must not be clear-headed.

So when such an opportunity comes, the situation is a bit embarrassing for this young Chinese player.

For example, at the buffet dinner banquet arranged by the organizing committee that day.

"Hi, I'm Jason, are you the representative team from China?"

Five people sat at the Chinese team table.

Three of them have obviously oriental faces, and the other two are white Western teenagers.

The person who said hello was an Oriental face with somewhat dark skin.

What I used was pure and fluent American English. It would be a special honor to be able to speak such fluent English in China.

Wang Yufei ate the food in front of him without saying a word.

It was just two o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the hotel, local time. He had a good rest on the plane, but couldn't sleep, so he simply studied the math problem Lu Yuxin gave him. He was a little exhausted and very hungry.

After Lu Yuxin glanced at the other people, she also began to focus on the food in front of her, which was the most normal operation for a girl.

After all, these boys are not as good-looking as her Feifei.

Due to his character, Zhao Yuming did not answer the call.

Fortunately, there were still enthusiastic Sichuan City children at the table, so it wouldn't embarrass everyone.

"Hi, hello, we are the Chinese team, you are the American team, right?"

There is a logo on the sign hanging on the chest. For these little math geniuses, they must know the basic words of country names.

"Yes! In fact, we are here to tell you that although the Chinese team is very strong, we are confident of winning the championship in this competition!"

After saying that, the dark-skinned Chinese boy clenched his fists calmly, fully demonstrating his respect for his opponent's belief in giving his best effort.

This is probably a kind of respect and encouragement for yourself and your opponents.

At least in Jason's opinion, this is indeed the case, although it's a little off.

But it also shows the passion and fearlessness of the young man!

There just doesn't seem to be any response.

The other party is working hard.

Is this meal so delicious today?

Isn’t it time to say cheers in reply at this time?

Just when Jason was about to feel depressed, the only girl at the table spoke to the boy next to him: "What did he say? I don't understand English, please translate for me."

"I don't understand English either."

"Oh, so do you speak Chinese?"

The girl raised her head and asked Jason.

Jason was a little confused.

Wasn't the fluent exchange between the two people just in English?

Was he hallucinating?

However, when faced with this question, Jason subconsciously replied: "Sorry, I don't speak Chinese."

"Oh, we don't speak English either, sorry."

"You are evading. This is a very cowardly act!"
