290 Terrifying Thought
He took a sip of the tea beside him and continued, “The reason why I called everyone here today is to discuss something. If you have any thoughts later, feel free to say them. Let’s not care if Shan Yue solved that question with her own strength first. However, based on the ability she has displayed so far, she’s completely qualified to enter the Chemistry Olympiad team to study.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a questioning voice immediately sounded. “That’s not good, Dean. After all, she just entered the school not long ago. The school’s rules are that only the top three of the various specialization exams are qualified to enter the Olympiad team after half a year. If we make an exception and accept her now, wouldn’t that be breaking the rules and being unfair to others?”
“Rules are dead, but people are alive.” The dean’s tone was very firm, insisting on his thoughts. “If Shan Yue is really a talented student, we can’t delay such a talent because of so-called rules. That would not only be a loss to our school, but also a loss to the country. None of us can bear this responsibility.”
Everyone knew that the dean cherished talents and would not let go of any opportunity to nurture them. Therefore, at this point, the others could see his determination, so they did not say anything else and expressed their agreement.
Gao Yang opened his mouth tentatively. “Dean, we can indeed make an exception and let Shan Yue be selected to the Olympiad team in advance, but that’s only after proving her ability. We should think of a way to confirm that the talent she displayed is real and not rely on a moment of opportunistic luck.”
“I can understand your worry. I’ve already thought about this matter.” The dean raised his eyebrows slightly with a confident gaze. “The test paper for the Chemistry Olympiad last year was 150 points. Our department’s third place scored 127 points. If Shan Yue can score above 127 points in this test paper, it’s enough to prove that she’s qualified to be admitted in advance. Otherwise, she’ll be eliminated.”
“Alright, I’ll arrange this,” Gao Yang quickly replied.
“There’s no hurry.” The dean slowly stood up and walked to the door. “Let’s put this matter aside for now. I still have to ask the principal for further instructions before making plans. Everyone, disperse.”
With that, the dean went straight to the principal’s office. The others might still have some thoughts in their hearts, but it was not important now.
Such a huge matter naturally reached Zhang Huang’s ears along with the dean’s question. Zhang Huang, who was hearing the news for the first time, narrowed his eyes as if he was thinking about something.
He really could not imagine that Shan Yue, who he treated as his biological granddaughter, was not only so talented in medicine, but also displayed extraordinary strength in chemistry. She could no longer be described as a genius.
After some thought, Zhang Huang could not help but have an unbelievable thought. The person who pretended to be the “mathematical genius” was Shan Yue’s sister, Shan Xing. Could the real “mathematical genius” be Shan Yue? If that was the case, it was really shocking news.
After all, there were indeed many geniuses in this world, and there were countless people who had achieved results in one subject.
However, this was the first time he had seen someone like Shan Yue display extraordinary talent in medicine, chemistry, and mathematics. What was even more terrifying was that this was only what Shan Yue had already displayed. No one knew what else Shan Yue had hidden.
In order to confirm his thoughts, Zhang Huang could not help but make a bold decision. He first agreed to Shan Yue’s exception to be selected to the Chemistry Olympiad class. Then, at the university competition a month later, he added Shan Yue’s name to the audience.
The reason why Capital University could always have the title of the number one university in Federal City was because they had been the champions of the university competition for several years. Only members of the Olympiad class or the national team could sit in the audience seats.
Zhang Huang decided to use the title of the number one university in Federal City as a bet to prove if Shan Yue was the anonymous person who did the questions online.
