107: Chapter 77: An Interview with Clear Love and Hate_3 107: Chapter 77: An Interview with Clear Love and Hate_3 It’s obviously not the first ti giving a special interview in front of the cara.
Qiao Yu perford perfectly, not feeling nervous at all even when faced with the cara.
The three of them chatted casually for about five minutes, and then the caraman across from them gave an OK gesture.
“Qiao Yu, we’re officially starting now.”
“Alright.”
Zhang Zhen sat up straight and said, “Congratulations, Qiao Yu, for winning the gold dal in the algebra and number theory group of the Little Alibaba Math Competition finals.
When did you realize you had such a talent in mathematics?”
“Actually, it wasn’t sothing I realized myself.
I have to thank Teacher Lan from our school.
Originally, I wasn’t very interested in mathematics, but by chance, Teacher Lan discovered my talent while solving Olympic Competition questions and started to ntor carefully.
By the way, he also gave two mathematics books.
They were very enlightening, and sparked my great interest in mathematics, especially algebra and number theory, particularly in the distribution of pri numbers…”
Qiao Yu spoke freely.
The questions the reporter might ask were already shown to him by Principal Zhang, who told him to respond as he liked.
For such an opportunity, Qiao Yu certainly didn’t mind helping the good guy boast a bit.
“So this is your first ti participating in the Little Alibaba Math Competition, right?”
“Yes.”
“It’s your first ti in this competition, and you won the gold dal.
We confird that the two silver dalists in the algebra and number theory track, one is a current master’s student at MIT and the other is an undergraduate at MIT.
Other winners are also mostly students from prestigious universities.
Are you surprised by this ranking?”
“It was indeed a bit surprising.
How should I put it, I found that the questions in this year’s final were actually quite simple while answering them.
At the ti, I even thought whether everyone would get full marks and win the gold dal, and if the prize promised by the Little Alibaba Group would be enough to go around.
In the end, I really didn’t expect to be the only one with a gold dal.”
For such straightforward questions, Qiao Yu really spoke his mind, because that’s exactly what he thought back then.
And since Principal Zhang just said to tell the truth, he had no concerns about being candid.
This answer even made Zhang Zhen, the experienced reporter, smile a little.
Now the colleagues from the new dia departnt would definitely be pleased.
Such a straightforward answer is sure to generate traffic!
The KPI will be excellent!
Originally, the new dia side didn’t want him to send all the interview questions to Principal Zhang first, fearing the school would coach Qiao Yu on how to reply and end up with unremarkable materials, but Zhang Zhen directly rejected that idea.
This special interview was arranged through his connections, and if surprises from spontaneous interviews yielded good materials, the new dia departnt would be happy, but what about him?
His task was to release the interview, no matter what Qiao Yu said.
Ultimately, it all depended on his pen to polish it, and the audience wasn’t ordinary people browsing short videos, so it didn’t need attention-grabbing answers.
Who knew that Xingtie First Middle School really took an unconventional path.
It was obvious that they didn’t instruct Qiao Yu on how to respond at all.
Perhaps Qiao Yu also realized that speaking blunt truths might sound hurtful when spread, so he added, “Of course, because I was invited to participate in the finals at Xiao Lake University, it was easier to concentrate on answering questions in such an environnt.
Had it been at ho, answering for eight consecutive hours as per contest rules, interruptions for various reasons might have delayed my progress.
So I was lucky to take first place, right?”
The added explanation was quite good, though Zhang Zhen felt the new dia departnt might edit out this additional statent when releasing the video externally.
There’s no choice; the whole press focuses greatly on KPIs, especially the new dia section, and traffic is an evident necessity.
This sudden humility might not stir controversy then.
Zhang Zhen was still pondering on editing issues when Qiao Yu paused and suddenly added, “But compared to the two from MIT behind , hmm, let’s say, maybe it’s the true reflection of MIT’s math level.
Winning a silver dal is not bad for them, after all.”
This statent was another unexpected turn for Zhang Zhen.
Was this a direct diss at MIT?
The new dia colleagues must be torn about whether to edit this or not?
Zhang Zhen instinctively gazed at Zhang Tiejun beside him.
To his surprise, the principal sat there as steady as a rock.
Well then, Railway First Middle School is truly taking an unconventional route.
“So, Qiao Yu, do you have so different perspectives or critiques on MIT’s mathematics level?
After all, in terms of theory, MIT is a world-renowned university, even though it’s not an Ivy League University, it almost has the sa standard and reputation as the Ivy League.”
“Eh?
This isn’t one of the preset questions, right?” Qiao Yu asked curiously.
“Don’t worry, the interview’s final form will be in written form, and the recorded material will be edited.
If you don’t want to answer, it’s fine,” Zhang Zhen imdiately replied.
“Oh, it’s okay, I just asked casually.
Mainly because I often watch different universities’ textbooks and class videos online, and I make comparisons when summarizing them.
I’m not sure about other subjects, but personally, I believe MIT’s math isn’t as good as Harvard’s, and it doesn’t beat Princeton either.
It also has a considerable gap compared to Huaxia’s Yanbei University and Huaqing University.”
