Early the following morning, Ye Leng'an arrived at Sheng'an High School and was greeted by a large red banner hanging at the school gate. The banner read, "Congratulations to Student Ye Leng'an for achieving first place in the National Mathematical Olympiad Competition."
The corners of Ye Leng'an's mouth involuntarily twitched when she saw the prominent banner. While she had anticipated securing the first place, she hadn't expected the principal to display such a banner. What was more surprising was the speed with which it was erected; the results had only been released yesterday afternoon, yet the banner was already in place this morning.
