Chapter 24 Competition[Part 2]
Zhou Yi arrived outside the classroom just as class was about to start.
His advisor, Liu Wei, stood at the door, his expression grim.
He had just endured subtle jabs from the advisors of Class 1 and Class 2, leaving his mood sour.
"Teacher Xu, look at the exam results. Our class lost to Classes 1 and 2 again. Half the students failed. If this continues, how many of our students will qualify for graduate school? We barely secured any scholarship spots. It's frustrating."
Math teacher Xu Cong smiled helplessly. "There's little we can do, Liu. These are art students. Math has always been their weak point."
Liu Wei's dissatisfaction was evident. He patted Xu Cong's shoulder and forced a smile.
"Math is crucial nowadays. Who would've thought art majors would study advanced math? Since we're already doing it, we should aim for a spot in the upcoming Mathematical Modeling Competition—an international event offering substantial rewards. Even representing the country guarantees significant benefits."
This competition involved domestic selection rounds: provincial, then national, culminating in the top ten teams advancing internationally.
Liu Wei coveted the provincial spot. Without passing the school's selection, competing provincially was impossible.
Xu Cong wasn't sure whether to admire Liu Wei's ambition or dismiss it as unrealistic.
Elite universities dominated this arena.
