The competition teacher was still very fast at grading the papers. In less than two days, the papers were all graded.

On the day of the announcement, everyone gathered in the auditorium of King’s University in Fog City.

The Haicheng team was arranged to be seated very close to the stage.

Everyone went to the auditorium in a lively manner. Soon, Principal Conlay walked in with Mr. Smith.

Principal Conlay nodded when he saw Guo Miao.

Mr. Smith noticed Principal Conlay’s gaze and asked a question with his eyes. He immediately knew Guo Miao’s identity and nodded at her.

…..

Seeing the principal and Mr. Smith arrive, everyone quieted down and waited for them to announce the final rankings.

“The first place winner of the IMO team competition is…”

After Mr. Smith finished speaking, he looked around. “This is very special. We have two first place winners in the team competition.”

“They are the representatives of China and Country B!” Mr. Smith looked proud.

Although they were tied for first place, Country B also obtained a ranking.

“Let’s invite the representatives of the two teams to come up on stage to receive the awards.”

The members of Haicheng cheered and asked Guo Miao to go up to receive the award.

Country B didn’t let Heleness go up to receive the award, but got Lawrence to go up instead.

Lawrence was dressed very fancy today, like a peacock with its tail fanned out.

When he saw Guo Miao, he bowed slightly.

Guo Miao was amused by his action. She bowed slightly and returned the salute with her nonexistent skirt. The students below the stage applauded.

The eight members of the Haicheng team looked at the stage excitedly. They couldn’t believe it, especially Zhao Nan. She was from a second-rate high school in a small county, but she had managed to enter an international competition and even won an award.

At this moment, the live broadcast camera was aimed at Guo Miao. Guo Miao smiled at the camera.

The internet was broadcasting the scene to various countries. In Haicheng, people were having dinner and watching today’s news.

The appearance of this Chinese face on the international stage made many people stop and stare.

Guo Fu was sitting in front of the television, watching TV with Lu Hai. Lu Ning was also watching with Xuxu.

“Old Guo, your daughter has really become successful!”

Guo Fu couldn’t stop smiling.

“I’ll treat you to a drink later, Brother Lu. Maotai on me!” Guo Fu slapped his thigh and said.

On the other side of the city, Chang Yuan and his homeroom teacher, Chen Cheng, were at home. They looked at Guo Miao’s beaming face on TV, and the two of them also smiled in relief.

Chang Yuan was also in tears. He had represented the country in two mathematics competitions, but at that time, China’s competition system was not complete. Although they had gone through difficult preparations, they did not get a good ranking in the end.

“My wish has come true. My student has stood on the podium on my behalf,” Chang Yuan said as he raised his wine glass and downed the entire contents. Tears streamed down his face.

“Yeah, I thought Guo Miao was just a hardworking village kid. 1 didn’t expect her to achieve so much.” Chen Cheng also downed a glass of wine. He hadn’t seen such an outstanding student in a long time. “It seems that after so many years, our Class 10 can also produce a top scorer in the college entrance examination.”

Chang Yuan shook his head. “That child’s ambition is definitely not limited to being the top scorer of the college entrance examination.”

Guo Miao’s interest and ability in academics were already at the level of an expert.

“Then, the gold medal this time should be a guarantee, right?” Chen Cheng asked.

Chen Cheng was an English teacher, so he didn’t know much about math competitions.

Chang Yuan shook his head. “There are also some talented contestants in the international arena. For example, Country B’s contestant, Helenesss, has previously won first place in Country B’s intelligence program. She has very strong mental arithmetic skills and knowledge. She should be a strong opponent.”

Chen Cheng looked at the television, and the camera was focused on Heleness’ face.

The girl’s gaze fell elsewhere. The lights in the auditorium shone on her face, outlining her gentle features.

“There are really talented people in every generation,” Chang Yuan said.

At this moment, in the auditorium on the other side of the world, the individual competition awards had already been announced.

Almost all eight members of the Haicheng team had won awards.

Fu Meng was in tenth place and won a silver medal. Zhao Nan was in fourteenth place and also won a gold medal. The rest of them all won bronze medals.

Finally, the exciting golden awards segment began..
