Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"I've found an even more concise solution approach!"

After a physics class of thinking, Wang Xiaohua's eyes lit up, his face full of delighted excitement, just like a treasure hunter who has found a treasure.

The moment the class dismissal bell rang, he couldn't wait to run to the classroom office!

He found the Special Training Teacher, wanting to verify whether this solution approach of his was correct.

After looking at Wang Xiaohua's solution approach, the Special Training Teacher immediately revealed a gratified smile:

"Not bad, not bad, that's exactly it, this is the more concise solution approach! This approach requires very leapfrog thinking; I never expected you'd actually think of it. I've taught Mathematics Competition for so many years, and you're the first one who could come up with this kind of solution approach!"

The Special Training Teacher did not stint on praise for Wang Xiaohua.

His gaze toward this small-statured student was full of appreciation and affection.

Whether this year's competition can achieve a good ranking, whether he as the Competition Teacher can get a high bonus — it's estimated to all depend on this small-statured student before him.

At this moment the Special Training Teacher rummaged out a test paper from his desk drawer and handed it to Wang Xiaohua:

"This is last year's National Mathematics Competition test paper. Take it back and study it, see how many questions you can solve. It doesn't matter if you can't solve them; after all, many questions have already gone beyond the syllabus. They're hard to crack with high school mathematics knowledge; you need to use Advanced Mathematics knowledge. In the next special training class, I'll start teaching you Advanced Mathematics knowledge, to let you transform your mathematical thinking."

"Okay Teacher, I'll definitely study it hard!"

Wang Xiaohua took the test paper, returned to the classroom, and immediately buried his head in research.

He was utterly absorbed, completely immersed in it.

The next class was Biology Class; the Biology Teacher was also going over a test paper, so he didn't listen to the lecture either, using it to research the Mathematics Competition test paper.

The class after that was English Class.

Although Wang Xiaohua really wanted to continue researching the Mathematics Competition test paper, he had to restrain that impulsive desire of his, because he was very clear in his heart that he must listen attentively in English Class, because English was his weak point. He couldn't let English fall behind because of the Mathematics Competition.

He had a very clear head about what should be valued and what should be set aside.

So this English Class, he listened exceptionally carefully, recorded the questions he got wrong, listened carefully to the teacher's explanations, and found the reasons for his mistakes.

Time flew by several days, and it was time for the Mathematics Competition special training class again.

In this class, the Special Training Teacher had just reached the podium when he asked the students below if anyone had found an even more concise solution method.

The students all looked at each other in blank dismay; the result was obvious — apart from Wang Xiaohua, no one could think of a more concise solution approach.

At this the Special Training Teacher said to Wang Xiaohua:

"Xiao Hua, come up here and explain to everyone how you thought of the more concise solution approach."

Wang Xiaohua walked to the podium and picked up the chalk.

Facing the dozen-odd students below, he was a bit nervous.

While writing on the blackboard, he said:

"First like this, then like this, like this, and then you can derive the answer."

After he finished writing, the Special Training Teacher said to the students below:

"Did everyone understand?"

Some students had faces of sudden realization, even slapping their thighs — how come I didn't think of this approach? So simple!

While some students still had blank, bewildered faces, completely unable to understand why this could so easily yield the correct answer.

Can only say, this mathematics thing really tests aptitude.

People with aptitude learn at once, understand at a touch, even understand without being pointed — take Gauss, for example; a difficult problem unsolved for hundreds of years, he could find the answer in one night.

While people without aptitude, even if they study to death, at most get 120 on the Gaokao; the final killer questions they practically can't even bear to look at, let alone think about competition.

"Next I'll explain the principle of this solution approach to everyone, and by the way introduce Advanced Mathematics knowledge points. If we want to achieve a good ranking in the National Mathematics Competition, we must use Advanced Mathematics tools. Advanced Mathematics mathematical thinking is different from our high school mathematics mathematical thinking; it's more rigorous, more logical, but also more profound. So when you listen to the following classes, you must transform your thinking, just like when you just advanced from Junior High School to High School and attended your first mathematics class — your thinking must leap from one level to another……"

The Special Training Teacher patiently guided everyone.

Wang Xiaohua listened attentively.

He didn't dare have the slightest distraction, afraid that if he missed a knowledge point, he wouldn't understand anything afterward.

After listening to this class, Wang Xiaohua discovered that Advanced Mathematics thinking indeed had a huge difference from high school mathematics.

In calculus, he learned more profoundly.

Probability was no longer simple probability, but would combine more knowledge points.

This made Wang Xiaohua feel like he was an illiterate person, with so much knowledge he didn't know, needing to learn, needing to explore.

So for the following period of time, he put his focus entirely on mathematics.

His mathematics level therefore underwent a qualitative change.

Don't look at how his exam scores didn't improve much — before he scored 140-something, now he still scores 140-something — but before, that 140-something was the ceiling of his ability; now, this 140-something is entirely because of careless lost points, not because his ability can only reach 140-something.

After the competition special training, he found doing Gaokao mathematics test papers even more relaxed; even the final killer questions didn't feel strenuous at all.

This is perhaps the dimensionality reduction strike brought by the upgrade in mathematical thinking.

Using Advanced Mathematics knowledge that's only learned in University to solve high school mathematics questions — that really is much more relaxed.

This benefited Wang Xiaohua enormously, making him more confident in his studies.

Even if he fails to win a good ranking in the competition later, he'll still feel this competition special training was already worth it.

Because he can clearly feel that he has been improving all along.

Wang Xiaohua has been improving constantly in the ocean of learning; his Big Brother and Second Brother, in the deep pool of society, what kind of development have they had?

Since the Fifth Day of the Lunar New Year when Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai left their Hometown and returned to Guangzhou to work, a period of time has already passed.

During this period, the two brothers have both experienced a lot.

Wang Dashan could never accept the reality of Du Xiaojuan breaking up with him; deep down, he had always been waiting for Du Xiaojuan to come and communicate with him.

However, to his disappointment, in his rental house in Guangzhou, he waited until the Lantern Festival but still did not wait for Du Xiaojuan to contact him.

In the end, he had no choice but to lower his proud head and take the initiative to apologize to Du Xiaojuan, hoping to win her back.

He sent Du Xiaojuan a WeChat message and found that she had not deleted or blocked him, feeling that there was surely still a chance.

But Du Xiaojuan's reply to him made his heart turn cold.

"Dashan, we really are not suitable; whether in personality, lifestyle habits, or thinking habits, we are completely incompatible. We can only be ordinary friends. I hope you accept this reality."

How could Wang Dashan possibly accept this reality?

"Du Xiaojuan, are you really that heartless? You know I love you!"

"That is not love; that is wanting to possess, wanting to control." Du Xiaojuan's one sentence laid bare the essence, and then she went on to say:

"When is your company opening? Rest assured, the investment I promised you, I will still give you. As for our feelings, let's just pretend nothing ever happened!"

Seeing Du Xiaojuan reply to him like this, Wang Dashan was so angry his lungs were about to explode.

"I don't care about your investment! Du Xiaojuan, that's how you treat me! You wait for me; I will make you regret it! Without your investment, I can still build my company!"

Wang Dashan harbored a surge of anger in his heart.

He viciously blocked and deleted all of Du Xiaojuan's contact information, and then secretly swore in his heart that he must succeed, must earn a lot of money, and make Du Xiaojuan regret it for a lifetime!
