So, let's start practicing coding problems.
Chemistry and biology are a bit easier; doing a few dozen practice tests a month should be enough to get a feel for it.
With the addition of physics, achieving a perfect score on the comprehensive science exam is feasible for Shen Qi.
In mathematics, failing to get a perfect score is equivalent to failure.
For English, Shen Qi can only strive for a perfect score.
Shen Qi couldn't guarantee a perfect score in Chinese, especially for the composition. Who could guarantee a perfect score on the college entrance exam composition?
There's no standard answer to this; it depends on the subjective judgment of the examiners.
When it comes to writing essays, Shen Qi's father is very unhappy.
Shen Qi Shen Zhishan has been negotiating with the publisher for two or three months regarding Shen Qi's book, "The <Olympic Math Champion Shen Qi's Math Techniques>," but the book has not yet been printed.
There were no disagreements among the editors-in-charge and editors-in-chief regarding the content-related tasks they were responsible for.
The disagreement lies in business matters, which are not the editors' responsibility; the publishing house has a dedicated business negotiation department.
The publishing house's business negotiation department said they would pay the Shen Family 50,000 yuan in a lump sum to buy out all the copyrights to Shen Qi's book.
Shen Zhishan was furious. "Are you fucking trying to fob us off? My son and I don't need this 50,000 yuan. My son is just doing this for fun, but you can't treat us like idiots."
A few days before the college entrance examination, at Shen Qi's home.
"So, is 50,000 yuan the standard amount paid to an unknown author to buy out all the copyrights?" Shen Qi asked.
"Yes," Shen Zhishan said.
Shen Qi: "But I'm not even an unknown writer."
"The situations are different, so they can't be compared. My family really doesn't need the 50,000 yuan, but I, Shen Zhishan, can't stand the attitude of that publishing house's business manager. Actually, their editors are all quite easy to talk to, but the business manager only cares about money. Even if a deal falls through, we can still be on good terms. If we don't talk about good terms and only about money, then fine, I'll only talk about money with them."
"Talking about money will hurt our feelings, and this will take some time. But don't worry, Shen Qi, although your book hasn't been published yet, I've already applied for intellectual property protection for you. Unpublished manuscripts also have intellectual property rights; it's just a matter of going through the relevant procedures. Don't be impatient, Shen Qi; I will definitely help you get the book published. I will negotiate with several publishers, and eventually, one of them will meet my standards," Shen Zhishan said.
Shen Qi nodded. "I'm not in a hurry, it's okay. Dad, you're right. The most important thing in doing business is to find the other party agreeable. What's the point of doing business if you're unhappy? Okay, I'm going to do some practice questions. The college entrance exam is next week."
"Did you really take the college entrance exam with ease, just like the media says?" Shen Zhishan asked.
"How would I know, Dad? I'm not a god." Shen Qi smiled, then went into his bedroom and flipped through the <High-Scoring College Entrance Examination Essay Templates>.
College entrance exam essays also have certain templates and formulas. If you can't get a perfect score using purely literary methods, then try using mathematical methods. Can I memorize all the high-scoring essay templates? Shen Qi began to memorize the essays.
"The college entrance exam, oh the college entrance exam, you've finally arrived. As the last challenge of my high school life, tell me, how am I supposed to defeat you?"
Usually, the admission tickets for the college entrance examination are distributed to each high school a week before the exam.
Some high schools will immediately distribute the admission tickets to their students after receiving them.
Some high schools have teachers keep the admission tickets and only distribute them to their students the day before or even on the morning of the exam, to prevent careless students from losing their admission tickets.
After Children's Day, on June 2nd, Shen Qi returned to Nangang Second High School to pick up his examination admission ticket.
The procedure at Nangang Second High School is to issue admission tickets on June 6th, which is the day before the college entrance examination. June 7th is the first day of the college entrance examination.
Shen Qi was different from other students; he could pick up his exam admission ticket whenever he wanted.
The big shot has arrived; all bystanders must make way.
Shen Qi swaggered towards Zhang Wanbang's office, dressed in shorts, a short-sleeved shirt, and sandals. "Let's see how you try to strip me," he seemed to say. "If you try any further, it will be illegal."
In fact, Shen Qi was overthinking it. At this stage, a few days before the college entrance examination, there were people watching him, girls touching him, boys touching him, but no students actually tried to rip off his clothes.
"Stop touching me, or else..." Shen Qi scolded a boy, one of his classmates.
"To absorb a bit of the scholarly aura of the God of God of Literature, hehehe." The boy left after touching it, his goal achieved.
After receiving his exam admission ticket, Shen Qi ran into Chen Xiaoting in the hallway. "Hey, Xiaoting, you're back at school?"
Chen Xiaoting grew taller and taller, and she was already about 1.77 or 1.78 meters tall, while Shen Qi was only two or three centimeters taller than her.
"Yes, I just finished asking Teacher Yuan a few questions." Chen Xiaoting was holding a chemistry exercise book in her hand.
At this time, senior high school students can choose to come to school or not.
All the teachers for each subject are at the school. You can come to the school to ask a teacher for guidance, or you can study on your own at home. It's up to you.
"You're in good shape." Shen Qi noticed that Chen Xiaoting was radiating a positive and energetic fighting spirit. Shen Qi's ability to take the college entrance exam in such a good state. "By the way, where's Gu Xiaodan? Lately, he's been posting some really depressing things on his social media. I don't think that's a good thing."
Chen Xiaoting shook her head. "I don't know. I haven't seen him in a long time. I haven't touched my phone for half a month. I have to push myself, be tough on myself. Life only gives you a few chances to fight."
"Your fighting power seems to be at MAX level right now," Shen Qi laughed.
"In short, thank you very much, Shen Qi. Your insights on math and physics have been very helpful to me," Chen Xiaoting said sincerely. Her Chinese and English scores were already good, but if she could improve her math and physics scores, she would be a surprise winner.
"You should brush up on your chemistry and biology again before the exam. You're really good, Xiaoting. I feel like you're about to explode. You're in great shape. Getting to your peak just days before the exam, what's your secret?" Shen Qi asked.
"Ravel."
"Ravel?"
"Deldra."
"Deldra?"
"And Mendelssohn."
"Mendelssohn?"
"Yes, listen to music, play the violin, and you'll get into the zone," Chen Xiaoting explained, then cautiously asked, "Shen Qi, can I ask you for a favor?"
"Speak," Shen Qi readily agreed without asking what it was about, because he knew that Chen Xiaoting, with her honest nature, wouldn't make any unreasonable requests.
"Could you... could you give me one of your used black ballpoint pens?" Chen Xiaoting asked somewhat shyly, as she had never asked Shen Qi for anything before.
The math notes were something Shen Qi had boasted about, and to keep his promise, he gave them to Chen Xiaoting and Gu Xiaodan.
"Is that all? It's nothing. Come on, let's go into the classroom. I'll give you a pen right away." Shen Qi beckoned Chen Xiaoting into the classroom of Class 2, Grade 12. I've given pens to students from other places before, so there's no reason not to give her a pen when we've been deskmates for two or three years.
Since leaving Nangang City at the end of April to attend CPhO, Shen Qi has not returned to the classroom of Senior Three (2) for more than a month.
Upon entering the classroom, Shen Qi was stunned. "I... I'm going to do something terrible! Where are my books? Where are my stationery?!"
