Chapter 403: Winning the First Place
Upon hearing this, the invigilator sneered. “The team competition requires the questions on the paper to be given to the members of the various groups to answer together. What about your group? The members of your group did not answer a single question on the entire set of papers independently!”
After saying this, Mo Zhu clenched her fists tightly with her arms hanging by her sides. She looked up and glanced at the invigilator indifferently. She provoked and questioned, “If the rules of the competition that was announced by the officials previously are correct, there shouldn’t be a rule that states that group members are not allowed to answer the questions together in the team competition, right? If the team competition stipulates that everyone has to complete the questions on the paper alone, then why is there a need to split the competition into two rounds!”
Mo Zhu’s tone was aggressive. Coupled with the terrifying aura she exuded, it frightened the staff member so much that although he originally stood rooted to the ground, he took a few steps backwards!
Just as she finished speaking, not only the invigilators on the stage, but even the judges of the various countries were silently breaking out in cold sweat secretly.
The truth was indeed as Mo Zhu had said. The rules that the organizing committee had previously issued to the various countries about the setting of the team competition was not very clear.
However, today, Country Z’s team had surpassed Country H and clinched the first place. No matter how hard the supervisors and teachers from Country H tried, they could not find any loopholes in Mo Zhu’s team’s answers. Therefore, they had no choice but to tamper with this.
They had sent someone to inquire just now. Mo Zhu’s group was not from a famous school in Beijing, but from an unknown small city beside Beijing. They had originally thought that a country bumpkin from a small Cloud City would definitely not have seen much of the world. Even if she encountered such a matter, she would definitely swallow her anger and not dare to raise any questions. They did not expect that a high school student like Mo Zhu, who was only in her teens, would have such guts to raise doubts on the spot!
When the invigilator heard Mo Zhu’s words, his hand that was holding the microphone could not help but clenched tightly. “The final decision for the results of this competition belongs to Country H’s organizing committee. If we say that you have violated the rules when you were answering the questions, you have violated the rules!”
Just as the man finished speaking, Mo Zhu could tell from his attitude that there was something fishy about Country H’s competition this time. She frowned coldly and reprimanded loudly, “The rules of the competition are not clear. The organizing committee can’t determine that we have violated the rules and cheated. Our results should count. The first place belongs to Country Z!”
After a pause, she looked up at the invigilator on the high platform with a firm gaze. There was no hesitation in her words as she said, “This Mathematical Olympiad will be held every year. This year, with Country H as the organizer, the other countries have given you face. The competition this time was done in the form of an international live broadcast. I believe the higher-ups of the Ministry of Education of the other countries have already noticed the commotion here.”
“What your country has done is not only bullying ordinary high school students from our team. Now that there’s such a scandal without evidence, I’m afraid no country will be willing to cooperate with you in the future!”
“You! You little girl, what are you saying!” The invigilator was angered by Mo Zhu’s cold mockery. His face was red, and his arm that was holding the microphone trembled slightly. “You’re trying to provoke and start a battle on purpose. Do you want the members of the International Olympic Committee to have a conflict because of your small competition group?”
Mo Zhu smiled and waved her hand. She crossed her arms and looked at the invigilator coldly. “No, you’re wrong. It’s not that I’m deliberately causing online public opinion to deliberately start a war, but it’s an international treaty that Country H doesn’t abide by!”
