Chapter 94: Chapter 73 Final Rankings_2

"Wow, this problem is genuinely tough! It actually took me a full twenty-three minutes! Oh no, sorry, I forgot you took 35 minutes to post the answer earlier. A waste of your time indeed, big shot! How about I repay you next time?"

Yu Wei didn’t immediately jump in, probably went to check the answer, and replied in the group a few minutes later: "Want to go again?"

As a result, dayu directly dropped a sentence: "Sorry, I have to go to class. Even though it’s summer vacation, I’m still quite busy!"

Then there was no more news.

Qiao Yu, who was watching the whole scene, was quite moved. He was ready to see the two start arguing so he could say a few fair words in the group and spice up the battle.

Unfortunately, Little Fatty was too cowardly and made an excuse about class. At that time, Qiao Yu felt a bit regretful.

But ever since that ice-breaking day, the group has become increasingly lively, with messages flooding in every few days.

Although there are only three of them, Qiao Yu often finds dozens of chat records accumulated when he glances at WeChat after watching videos all morning.

It’s still mainly Yu Yongjun talking, Yu Wei says less. But Qiao Yu can tell the rich second generation is often goaded by Little Fatty to the brink of a meltdown.

Sometimes, he happens to catch the battlefield in the group chat.

But every time he types: "How about I say something fair..." he’s directly ignored by the two.

Of course, for Qiao Yu, the lively group chat isn’t just about the amusement. Over the month, besides the first fifty, Little Fatty has paid an additional 280 yuan in consulting fees.

The reason it can’t be a clean fifty is mainly that Little Fatty shamelessly bargained the VIP consulting service experience card price down ten yuan.

Of course, not all the problems Yu Wei posted in the group were solved by Qiao Yu. Qiao Yu could clearly feel that this summer, Little Fatty’s skills had made qualitative leaps.

The most obvious sign is that in the past week, some problems Qiao Yu thought Little Fatty would definitely ask for help on, he managed to solve them himself.

From this point of view, Qiao Yu feels the biggest gainer in this group is probably that Little Fatty from Shuangqing.

Yu Yongjun’s gains aren’t proportional to the meager three hundred and thirty yuan he paid. In short, this business is a bit of a loss.

If it weren’t for Qiao Yu feeling this group spiced up his otherwise mundane summer, he would have disbanded it long ago.

On the other side, even though Yu Yongjun nearly drove him to the edge, Yu Wei never privately messaged him for help.

It’s obvious this rich second generation has his own principles.

Qiao Yu has thought about jumping in himself, tossing a few brain-busting problems for Little Fatty to provoke Yu Wei with.

But he never went through with it.

Mainly because Qiao Yu feels one must have principles, not earn money without boundaries. It’s well known that once you start lowering your standards, it means there’s no bottom line anymore.

So Qiao Yu is quite content being a supporting role in this group, watching these two argue every day is fine, and occasionally take on a trivial task with Little Fatty for some summertime amusement.

It also shows he’s not slacking off; he’s still trying to make money.

However, on the evening of August 24th, he became the main attraction in the group.

That day, just like usual, Qiao Yu went out with Qiao Xi and Xia Keke in the evening. He didn’t return until 8:30, then rushed into the bathroom for a shower, came back to his room, and under the cool air conditioning breeze, picked up his phone and casually opened WeChat, only to find the group chat exceptionally lively today.

About half an hour ago, dayu had already @ him several times.

"@Yu Shulin big shot, you’re truly a master! Really took the gold in Algebra and Number Theory!"

"Big shot, say something! Otherwise, I’ll feel like all my excitement was for nothing!"

"By the way, did you scroll down when you checked the scores? Go take a look at the scores for the Applied Mathematics track!"

...

Followed closely by the two starting to argue as usual.

The trigger was Yu Wei jumping in as well, and as usual, he dropped a simple word: "Ha..."

The battle began...

But Qiao Yu couldn’t bother to look at their argument’s content, instead, he set down his phone and logged into Little Alibaba’s Global Mathematics Competition website on his computer, and indeed saw the published score list.

The Algebra and Number Theory group was ranked first, with the gold medal position indeed bearing his name, followed by Star City Railway First Middle School.

This was nothing out of the ordinary, but the school column on the Algebra and Number Theory award list was truly interesting.

Gold Medal Qiao Yu, school Star City Railway First Middle School.

Silver Medal Alvin Cullum, school Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Silver Medal Lu Huaying, school Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Bronze Medal Huang Bozhi, school Johns Hopkins University.

Bronze Medal Zheng Zhiwei, school Huaqing University

...

Seeing this list announced by Xiao Lake University, at first glance, Qiao Yu felt his name looked rather ordinary in it, but the school names following it really stood out.

Star City Railway First Middle School was at the front, followed closely by Massachusetts Institute of Technology X2, then Johns Hopkins University, and lastly Huaqing University?

Hmm...

At first glance, Qiao Yu realized this ranking had the potential to go viral.

Mainly because the schools for the silver and bronze seemed too striking when juxtaposed with Star City Railway First Middle School.

After making a mental note, Qiao Yu continued to scroll down, and sure enough, in the penultimate position of the Excellence Award, he saw Yu Wei’s name. However, for the Algebra and Number Theory group, there were quite a lot of Excellence Awards, a total of more than ten people.
