n73 The Winners of the Mathematical Modeling Competition Are Announced; National Award!

n“Thank you, Grandpa Song,” Lin Fan said.

nWhen Song Wenming heard that, he could not help but reevaluate Lin Fan.

nAt such a young age, it was already very good to have such superb chess skills.

nMoreover, he was so humble.

nIt was really rare!

n“Lil Lin, shall we play another round?” Song Wenming asked.

nFrom ‘young man,’ he became ‘Lil Lin.’

nIt was obvious that Song Wenming had already placed Lin Fan in a very high position in his heart.

n“Why are you still playing Go? It’s Jiaxin’s birthday today. Why is everyone standing here and watching a game of Go?”

nA hoarse voice came from behind.

nThen, a white-haired old lady slowly walked out.

n“Grandma!” Song Jiaxin stepped forward to help her up.

n“My good granddaughter!” Huang Chunlan smiled.

n“Grandma, it’s still early. Let Grandpa play a few more rounds. It’ll be fine…” Song Jiaxin said.

nHuang Chunlan said, “What do you mean? If he wants to play Go, he can play it later.”

nSong Wenming also stood up and smiled. “Yes, it’s your birthday today. Lil Lin and I will play next time.”

n“Mom, Dad, you’re here too?”

nIn the distance, a middle-aged couple walked over.

nThey… They were Song Jiaxin’s parents.

nEveryone at the scene greeted them.

n“Hello, Uncle!”

n“Hello, Aunt!”

nThe middle-aged couple also responded politely.

n“Thank you for coming to Jiaxin’s birthday party. I hope you guys have a good time.”

nWith the addition of Song Jiaxin’s parents and grandparents, the crowd became a little more restrained.

nThey also felt this, so they did not stay for long. After finding an excuse, they left together.

nAs expected, after Song Jiaxin’s elders left, the atmosphere in the backyard became lively again.

n“Brother Lin Fan, it’s fine that you’re good at racing, but I didn’t expect you to be so good at chess and Go as well! I feel like kneeling down in front of you,” Liu Yuhang said.

n“Really?” Lin Fan smiled. “Then kneel down. I won’t mind.”

nWhen the surrounding people heard this, they broke into laughter, and the atmosphere was extremely joyous.

nAfter eating the cake, Lin Fan sat on the deck chair, facing the breeze and looking up at the bright stars.

n“This villa is quite comfortable to live in.”

nSong Jiaxin walked over and said, “With your ability, it should be easy for you to buy a villa here, right?”

nLin Fan said, “A villa here should be around 100 to 200 million, right? That figure still makes me a little nervous.”

nAlthough Lin Fan owned Qiankun, 51% of Yinshan Group’s shares, a building in Washing Palace, KM Mall, and many other assets…

nHowever, these were all from the system and could only be used for dividends and rent collection. They could not be sold.

nLin Fan’s true capital was only a mere 140 million.

nWith 140 million, it was barely enough to buy a villa here.

nLin Fan did not want to spend all his money so quickly.

nSong Jiaxin laughed. “I didn’t expect you to be short on money.”

nOne had to know that Lin Fan had casually rejected a sports car worth 28 million yuan.

nLin Fan smiled and touched his nose.

nThe birthday party lasted until 11 PM.

nAt this time, the school dormitory was already closed.

nThus, Lin Fan came to Yi Ke City.

nIt was nighttime.

nLin Fan and Qiu Ziqian did not get any sleep.

nHuang Ling, who was in the room next door, was also sleepless.

n…

nThe next day.

nAfter Lin Fan had his breakfast, he drove to Jiangbei University as usual.

nWhen Lin Fan arrived at the classroom, the counselor, Sun Yaodong, was already standing on the podium.

nAfter the bell rang, Sun Yaodong smiled and said, “I’ve always thought that you were the best students in the school. It turns out that I have good taste!

n“Next, I’ll announce the provincial-level winners of the National Mathematical Modeling Competition!

n“Zhao Yin, third prize of the provincial level.”

n…

n“Song Yi, third prize of the provincial level.”

n“Ma Zhong, second prize of the provincial level.”

n…

nWhen everyone heard their names, they all revealed a look of joy that was difficult to hide.

nEspecially Song Yi, who almost jumped up in joy.

nVery quickly, Sun Yaodong finished reading out the names.

n“Brother Lin Fan, both of us have tough lives.” Zheng Jinbao sighed.

nSun Yaodong said, “Next, I’ll announce the list of winners of the National Mathematical Modeling Competition.

n“Lin Fan!”

nZheng Jinbao was speechless.

nIt turned out that he was the only one with a bitter life.

nSun Yaodong continued, “Lin Fan is the only National Award winner in our class and also the only National Award winner in the entire Jiangbei University! Please give him a round of applause!”

nSun Yaodong took the lead and started clapping.

nImmediately after, the entire classroom burst into lively applause.

nSong Jiaxin, who was sitting not too far away, could not help but look at Lin Fan with her bright eyes.

nAs the two of them were sitting in the same row, she could only see Lin Fan’s side when she turned her head.

nHowever, it was this one look that made Song Jiaxin’s heart beat faster.

nNaturally, Lin Fan had no way of knowing this.

nAt this moment, he felt a touch of joy in his heart.

nThat was because a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan’s mind.

nDing! Complete the task and win a National Award in the National Mathematical Modeling Competition. You’ve received five silver packets.

nThe mission was completed!

nSun Yaodong continued, “Lin Fan, you should get ready. You’ll need to go to Jingbei in two days. You’ll have to answer your oral defense on the spot to determine the level of the national award. Perform well and strive to bring back a Higher Education Cup! Hahaha!”

nSpeaking up to this point, Sun Yaodong could not help but burst out laughing.

nIt was as if he could already see the scene of Lin Fan bringing back the Higher Education Cup.

nHowever, he did not know that Lin Fan was not planning on going to Jingbei to defend his dissertation.

nLin Fan had no interest in the National Award or the Higher Education Cup.

nNow that he had completed the mission, why make another trip to the capital?

n‘I’m sorry!

n‘But I would rather sleep on my desk!’
