Chapter 305: The Top Scholar with Nothing to Do

"As long as I can get into Tsinghua University, it's worth taking the exam three times." The host said this, but there was a smug look in his eyes.

I repeated two years before I was admitted to Tsinghua University. The value of this degree doesn’t seem very high. I might as well go directly to Beijing Foreign Studies University!

The host continued to mutter, "So how many points did you get in your third college entrance examination?"

"750 points!" Zhang Wei replied.

"What I asked is how many points you got in the exam, not what your total score is in the college entrance examination," the host said immediately.

"I'm talking about the college entrance examination score, 750 points!" Zhang Wei said calmly.

"You mean, you got full marks?"

"Is this true? You got full marks in the college entrance examination?"

"We can't joke around like that!"

Everyone had a look of surprise on their faces.

Among the young guys here, although some went to work before finishing high school, some took the college entrance examination and were admitted to university. They naturally know the value of a full score in the college entrance examination.

"I'm not kidding, what I said is true. If you don't believe me, go search the news from July 2005. I remember there was a report in Jiaodong Evening News." Zhang Wei said calmly.

"Let's go find a computer and search it!" Someone nearby started to make a noise.

The smug look in the host's eyes disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Being admitted to Beijing Foreign Studies University is impressive, but compared to getting a perfect score in the college entrance examination, it’s not even a big deal.

If you can get full marks in the college entrance examination, you can be admitted to not only Beijing Foreign Studies University, but also Tsinghua University and Peking University.

Even if this full score in the college entrance examination was obtained after two years of review, it can still beat any student who was admitted without taking the entrance examination.

As a top student, he was outshined by another top student, so the host asked, "You can get full marks in your third attempt at the college entrance examination, so your scores in the previous two exams should also be good! How many points did you get in your second exam?"

"750 points." Zhang Wei replied.

"I'm asking about your results in your second college entrance exam."

"I'm talking about the second college entrance examination! It also got 750 points." Zhang Wei said innocently.

"You mean, you scored 750 points in the college entrance examination twice in a row?" The host smiled coldly, with disdain in his eyes, as if to say: Do you think I'm a fool? I would believe such nonsense!
"What I said is true. If you don't believe me, go search the news from July 2004. I remember there was a report in Jiaodong Evening News." Zhang Wei said with a smile.

"Haha, I'll search it in a moment!" The host curled his lips, and the disdain on his face became even stronger.

Another person nearby said, "That's not right, Zhang Wei. If you had scored 750 points in the second college entrance examination, you could have gone directly to Tsinghua University. Why did you have to take the exam a third time?"

"Yes, 750 points is % enough to get into Tsinghua University. You don't need to take the college entrance examination for the third time!" The host added, and then showed a smug expression, as if to say, boy, the truth has been revealed! The lie has been exposed!
Zhang Wei remained calm and said, "In 2004, I scored 750 points in the science exam. I was admitted to Tsinghua University and majored in bioengineering. Later, I decided that I didn't like this major and wanted to study economics.

But economics is a liberal arts major, so I dropped out and took the college entrance examination again, taking the liberal arts exam. Then, as I wished, I was admitted to Tsinghua University’s economics department. ”

"What? You dropped out of Tsinghua University and got back in? And you scored 750 in both liberal arts and science. Isn't your experience too magical? Now that I think about it, my experience of singing in bars in Shenzhen is nothing compared to yours!"

"The things I encountered when I was studying in Australia are nothing compared to what you experienced!"

"What I encountered at the vocational and technical college is nothing compared to what you experienced!"

"Should I say that my admission to Beijing Foreign Studies University is nothing compared to yours!"

The host complained in his mind, and then asked: "What about your first time taking the college entrance examination? Did you perform poorly, so you decided to review for a year?"

Zhang Wei showed a reminiscent expression: "Speaking of my first time taking the college entrance examination, it was in the summer of 2003. That was also the first time I scored 750 points..."

"Wait a moment!" Someone interrupted Zhang Wei immediately: "What did you just say? 750 points in the first college entrance examination?"

"Zhang Wei, we are not recording a talk show." The host also said.

"What I said is true. If you don't believe me, go search the news from July 2003. I remember there was a report in Jiaodong Evening News." Zhang Wei still gave the same answer.

"You really think I won't search?" The host was a little annoyed. He said to the staff behind him, "I remember that guy backstage. He has a laptop that can access the Internet, right?"

At that time, wireless WIFI was not yet popular. If you wanted to access the Internet with your laptop, you either had to plug in an Ethernet cable or an external network card. Moreover, the speed of the external network card was very slow. It took a long time to send a picture. At least this did not improve until 4G became popular.

Just like in the movie "Lost in Thailand" starring Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang, the initial conflict was caused by the slow internet speed and the inability to transmit the pictures.

So the laptop computer that can access the Internet that the host mentioned is a computer equipped with a special Internet card. Although it refreshes pictures very slowly and you can't watch videos or play games, it is still possible to search Baidu and find a web page.

The host thought that Zhang Wei would panic after all because of his laptop computer that could access the Internet, and would find an excuse to change the subject, or simply give up and say that he was just joking.

However, Zhang Wei looked calm and seemed to allow you to check it at will.

"It seems like you really won't cry until you see the coffin! Well, since you want to hold on, I'll oblige you. Young people, you like to brag, right? Today I'll let you feel what a beating from society is like!" the host thought to himself.

After a while, the staff really brought a laptop.

"I have to check it out!" The host thought to himself, I'm giving you one last chance, it's not too late for you to give in now.

However, Zhang Wei said, "You can search for the keywords 2005, Qinhai City, and full score in the college entrance examination."

"Do I need you to teach me this?" the host thought to himself, but his fingers were tapping on the keyboard, and he actually typed in keywords such as 2005, Qinhai City, and full marks in the college entrance examination.

After filtering out a few college entrance exam tutoring ads, the top news headline is: "Warmly congratulate our city's student Zhang Wei for achieving a perfect score of 750 in the college entrance exam!"

"It's really Zhang Wei! It's really 750 points!" The host took a breath and couldn't help but click on the news.

There was a picture in the news, but the 2G network was really slow, and it took a long time to load half of the picture. However, you can still tell from the upper body that the person in the photo is Zhang Wei.

"It's true that he got full marks in the college entrance examination!" The host looked at Zhang Wei in surprise.

Others also gathered around and exclaimed one by one.

"The man in the photo is really Zhang Wei!"

"Zhang Wei, you really scored 750 points in the college entrance examination!"

"I've already said it. What I said is true." Zhang Wei sighed in a helpless manner, and then continued: "You can continue to search for the keywords 2004, Qinhai City, and full score in the college entrance examination."

"Search quickly!" someone immediately shouted. The host had to search again, and then another piece of news appeared: "Warmly congratulate our city's student Zhang Wei for once again achieving a perfect score of 750 in the college entrance examination!"

When I clicked on the news, I saw another photo of Zhang Wei, but the time of the news had changed to July 2004.

Although the contents of the news are similar, the dates cannot be falsified. One is in 2005 and the other is in 2004, which means that Zhang Wei scored 750 points in both college entrance examinations.

"Oh my god, Zhang Wei, you really scored 750 points for two consecutive years!"

"You are so awesome! Not only did you get full marks in the college entrance examination, but you also got full marks twice!"

"Wait a minute, look at this news headline. It says that student Zhang Wei got full marks again. Didn't you notice the word 'again'?"

"I noticed it a long time ago, that's why I said Zhang Wei scored 750 points twice!"

"Your brain is really new! Look carefully, this 'again' is news from 2004!"

"That's true! This news was published a year ago, why did they use the word 'again'?"

"Zhang Wei just said that he got full marks in the college entrance examination for the first time in 2003. Could it be true?"

"Quick search, full marks in the 2003 college entrance examination!"

This time, without Zhang Wei's reminder, the host directly searched the keywords "2003", "Qinhai City" and "full marks in the college entrance examination".

Sure enough, related news reports appeared again, and the content was still that Zhang Wei scored a full score of 750 in the college entrance examination.

The next second, everyone stared at Zhang Wei in shock, as if their brains had short-circuited.

There is such an amazing academic master in this world! He got full marks in the college entrance examination for three consecutive years. This sounds like a myth. He actually appeared before my eyes.

The host felt like a deflated ball at this moment, and felt like he was slapped in the face.

Originally, he thought that Zhang Wei was an ignorant braggart who was so shameless. He had to expose his lies and let him feel the beating of society, and also let him experience what it feels like to be a clown.

But I didn't expect that what Zhang Wei said was true, and I looked like a clown!

The sense of superiority that I had as a top student disappeared without a trace at this moment. The key point is that if this part was edited into a program and broadcast, how embarrassing it would be!
The host at this moment had lost all enthusiasm. He just wanted to finish the recording as soon as possible and find a deserted place to calm down.

……

Finally, the recording of the program was completed. The host returned to the backstage lounge dejectedly, found an inconspicuous corner, put on headphones, and tried to calm down.

Two interns walked in. They didn't notice the host in the corner, so they started chatting among themselves while packing up their costumes and props.

"I went to the campus network at noon, guess what I saw?"

"What's new being discussed on the campus network?" another person asked.

"I saw someone post that Zhang Wei won the Fields Medal last year!"

"You are talking about contestant No. 13, Zhang Wei? What is the Fields Medal? Is it a foreign music award? How does it compare to the Grammy Awards?"

"What kind of music award is this? The Fields Medal is a mathematics award, equivalent to the Nobel Prize in mathematics!"

"Only a mathematician can win the Fields Medal, right? Could it be that Zhang Wei is also a mathematician? Don't be ridiculous! There are so many people named Zhang Wei, there must be a duplicate."

"Don't forget, the internet says that Zhang Wei is a top student at Tsinghua University. If he is a top student, maybe he is really a mathematician! And the post I read has pictures attached to it. Pictures speak louder than words."

“Maybe the picture is photoshopped too!”

The argument between the two fell into the ears of the host. Although he was wearing headphones, he still heard the conversation between the two.

"Zhang Wei, you've won the Fields Medal. How is that possible? That's the Fields Medal!" The host suddenly took off his headphones and stood up.

As a top student and a senior media person, the host certainly knows the value of the Fields Medal, which is the Nobel Prize in mathematics and can only be won by the world's top mathematicians.

But on second thought, a genius student who has scored full marks in the college entrance examination for three consecutive years might actually have won the Fields Medal.

"Speaking of the Fields Medal, I do have some impression of it. It seems to be last year's news that a Chinese scholar won the Fields Medal, but it seems that it was not reported much. I should check it online!"

Finally, the host found a computer with internet access and decided to check whether this incident really happened.

By searching the two keywords "Zhang Wei" and "Fields Medal", relevant news was indeed found.

"Chinese mathematician Zhang Wei has won this year's Fields Medal." The host frowned and thought to himself, "This winner is really called Zhang Wei! But there are so many people named Zhang Wei in China, so he must have the same name!"

The host clicked on a news link, which had no accompanying picture, and then clicked on another news link, which also had no accompanying picture.

The Fields Medal is not well-known or well-known in China, so the media is not very eager to report on it.

For example, the 2002 Fields Medal ceremony was held in Beijing, but there were few news reports about it.

There is little coverage of the Fields Medal ceremony held in China, and even less attention is paid to those held abroad.

Moreover, Zhang Wei won the Fields Medal at a really bad time. At that time, Liu Xiang had just broken the world record in the 110-meter hurdles. All kinds of media across the country were occupied by Liu Xiang. The news that Zhang Wei won the Fields Medal was just a flash in the pan and was quickly skipped over. It did not receive much attention at all.

Fortunately, when Zhang Wei received the award, the Ministry of Education sent a team to take a few photos, otherwise we might not even be able to find the photos in China.

Finally, the host found a news link with a picture. Upon closer inspection, the person in the photo was Zhang Wei!
"Am I dazzled?" The host rubbed his eyes to make sure there was nothing wrong with his vision.

"It must be fake news!" The host looked at the source of the webpage again, it was the Ministry of Education!
What is posted on the Ministry of Education’s website cannot possibly be fake news.

"It's true! Zhang Wei is really the Fields Medal winner!" The host leaned back in his chair.

It turns out that saying he is a top student is still an understatement!

The Fields Medal winner is a top scholar!

He is already a top scholar at such a young age and has a bright future!

Then, the host revealed a strange expression on his face.

You are already a top scholar, why are you still idle and want to participate in this talent show?
