Holden's words silenced the scene. Many people guessed what he was thinking, but so what? Even if it is unfair, it does not violate the relevant requirements, so there is no problem. Besides, Holden is a very well-connected person.
Guang, who has close contacts with many cabinet officials, makes it clear that he will obstruct others, and it is hard for others to say anything.
"I agree with Mr. Horton's proposal!"
An official from the organizing committee said.
"I agree too!"
"I agree too!"
Five of the nine people agreed on the spot, and the remaining four people looked at it. Even if they objected, there was nothing they could do, so they all nodded in agreement.
"Okay, that's it for this test question. Let's discuss the requirements of the Chinese delegation. They said that the candidate Liu Lang is too young and is in the developmental stage. He will take three consecutive subjects tomorrow morning and needs to eat to replenish energy.
So I ask that Liu Lang be allowed to bring some food into the examination room!"
The host said while holding an official document submitted by the Chinese delegation.
"This is a joke. This is a world-class competition. What does the Chinese delegation think of this competition? A kindergarten spring outing? If they agree to do this, what will others think? Can they also bring steak and pizza into the examination room? I
Firmly disagree!"
Holden yelled immediately.
"Mr. Holden, Liu Lang is in a special situation. He is only four years old. My grandson is five years old this year. He still eats complementary food many times a day. A four-year-old child really needs to replenish energy quickly!"
A federation executive committee member said.
"Then you can't break the rules. In this examination room, it doesn't matter whether you are a four-year-old child or a forty-year-old adult!"
Holden immediately retorted.
"Dear executive members, Mr. Committee members, I am attending the meeting as a representative of the judges, and now I have something to say!"
Ding Huaizhong couldn't sit still anymore and stood up suddenly.
Everyone looked at Ding Huazhong, and it was obvious that Professor Ding and this Holden were on top of each other.
"Professor Ding, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
"Gentlemen, what is the purpose of the Olympic Movement? It is to understand each other through the spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair competition without any discrimination, with the Olympic spirit, and it is because of this purpose that countries around the world regard the Olympic Games as the best in the world.
Other conferences, such as the Berlin Olympics in 1936, completely abandoned this purpose, and it is still the biggest stain in the history of the Olympics.
But now, I smell a smell of discrimination. This smell makes me feel ashamed and insulted. If this Intellectual Olympics is full of such a smell, it will also be a shame in the history of the Olympics. I cannot bear this shame, so
The judges who are considering withdrawing from this competition will also send what I have seen and heard in written form to the Sao Paulo Cultural Federation.”
Ding Huaizhong's words immediately aroused strong reactions from everyone.
Many people nodded slightly, obviously very dissatisfied with Holden's behavior.
"Professor Ding, do you have any basis for saying this?"
Holden asked with a dark face.
"Whether there is any basis for it, I believe that the Sao Paulo Cultural Federation will make its own judgment after seeing my truthful report. Mr. Horton, you should consider how you will explain it to the executive committee members at that time!"
"you………!"
It is self-evident what Horton thinks. This approach is unfair to the Chinese team. On the contrary, it is beneficial to the American team. Everyone here can see it.
"Professor Ding, don't be excited, don't be excited, let's discuss it carefully!"
Gutierrez, the secretary-general of the organizing committee, just stood up to stop the argument between the two. Who is Ding Huaizhong? He is a Nobel Prize winner in physics and an academic leader. He has a place in the American academic world. His
Opinions will definitely be taken seriously by the federation. If supervisory members are really sent to investigate this matter, even if there are no mistakes in the end, it will have a great impact on them. If word spreads, their reputation will be damaged.
"Professor Ding, all the regulations we have now are in compliance with the regulations. What you said is shameful! I think you are exaggerating!"
Of course the Secretary-General will not admit what the other party said.
"Mr. Gutierrez, this is indeed in line with the charter, but in line with common sense, China is a developing country with very backward economy, technology and culture. It cannot be compared with the United States. I believe everyone will agree. Now Holden insists
It is unfair in itself to take questions about the world's cutting-edge technologies as exam questions. I now have reason to believe that he is acting with some kind of discriminatory bias. As a member of the review committee, I have the right and obligation to treat you.
To supervise.”
These judges were present at the meeting and were not qualified to participate in the decision-making. However, they had the right to raise questions about the decision-making, which was only allowed by the regulations, so what Ding Huaizhong said was not wrong.
"Yes, I agree with what Professor Ding said, the two of us will jointly report to the Federation!"
Another professor also stood up.
"Oh! Two professors, two professors, don't be impatient, don't be impatient!"
Gutierrez had sweat on his forehead.
"Professor Ding, what's your opinion? Do you want us to make a new decision?"
Holden suppressed his anger and said that he had something in his mind about this matter. If the stalemate continued and Ding Huaizhong really brought this matter up, he might be in some trouble.
"Since the opinions of the committee members determine the test paper, although I think there is unfairness in it, I will no longer object. However, the requirements of the Chinese team must be met. This is not a matter of principle, but a more humane one.
Action, the player Liu Lang is also qualified to enjoy this right.
In addition, in order to prevent the test questions from being leaked, I request that all personnel today are not allowed to return to their residences, and they are not allowed to leave the library until the math test is over!"
Ding Huaizhong did not hold on to the question on the test paper. After all, the nine committee members had unanimously approved it just now. If he objects again, even if the objection is successful, the nine people will probably be dissatisfied with him. But you must agree to the request made by the Chinese team.
The second proposal is to prevent
This guy Holden tipped off the news. Since you have asked such a question, then treat everyone equally. In Ding Huaizhong's opinion, even the genius of your American team will not be able to do it without knowing these two questions. If everyone can't do it,
Come out, then the Chinese team or Liu Lang will still have a chance.
"Yes! I agree with Professor Ding's proposal, everyone can vote by a show of hands!"
Gutierrez was relieved when he heard that the other party no longer held on to the questions on the test paper. He agreed because he didn't want to offend Holden. Now Ding Huaizhong has obviously given them a face. As for Liu Lang eating something
This kind of thing should be handled on a special basis. Who let this person be a "baby" and all the staff cannot leave the library? This is in line with the regulations. Anyway, many people have been eating and living here these days, so it's not a big deal.
"I agree too!"
"I agree too!"
Others also raised their hands in agreement.
Holden thought for a while and raised his hand. His purpose was to stop Liu Lang, and since the other party agreed to the test paper, it was successful. Obviously Ding Huaizhong was still afraid of him, so he should give the other party some face.
"Okay, since everyone agrees, today's meeting is over. Everyone should go back to the lounge and rest. Don't leave the library! If you have any requests, please ask the service staff and they will satisfy everyone."
Gutierrez felt relieved when he saw Holden take a step back.
