Chapter 109: Punished to Serve as an Example for Others
Wei Zhiqian sat down and said, “Although I usually work most days, when I have class, I have to come to school.”
“Then I can see my Little Uncle not only when I am outside of school but also when I am in school.” Tan Mo looked very happy.
Wei Zhiqian touched Tan Mo’s head and said, “Don’t forget what I told you. If someone bullies you in school, you must tell me.”
“This place isn’t the same as Jixia Academy.” Wei Zhiqian took a disposable spoon from the box placed in the middle of the table and helped himself to a spoonful of Tan Mo’s ice cream. “The families of the students in Jixia Academy are all connected to the Eight Great Clans in one way or another, so they wouldn’t dare to offend us.
“The students here come from many different backgrounds. Some want to make friends with us, some want to work with us in order to pave a good future for themselves, and some feel that they don’t have anything to do with us and so they don’t care what we think.” Wei Zhiqian spoke in general terms, but noticed that Tan Mo’s eyes were fixed on her ice cream.
He had really dug out a big spoonful just now.
“I told you not to eat too much cold food,” Wei Zhiqian said with a warm smile. However, he didn’t try to scoop up her ice cream anymore, leaving some for her. “So if anyone bullies you, just come and tell me. That person will be punished and will serve as an example for others.”
“How about your roommates? Are they okay?” Wei Zhiqian asked. “You can always change your room. In fact, as long as you were willing to come to Beijing University, the conditions are up to you. Even if you request not to live on campus during your freshman year, President Mu would agree.”
“Ah! Why didn’t I think of that?” After listening to Wei Zhiqian’s words, Tan Wenci suddenly reacted.
“My roommates are okay,” Tan Mo said with a smile. “I think they’re very nice people, and I’m sure that I will be able to get along with them.”
Xu Mingzhen opened her mouth but felt tongue-tied.
Jin Yuelin and Meng Yuxi are at least normal, but can Lin Fuxi be called nice?
Interacting with that kind of person every day would make her depressed.
“Moreover, at least I have a preliminary understanding of them now. Even if I changed my room, I would have to get to know my roommates again, and it will always be difficult to guarantee that my new roommates will all be good.” Tan Mo ate a mouthful of ice cream and said, “Also, if I change the room now, someone else will have to move. Everyone has already finished organizing their things, but because I want to change my room, I’ll have to trouble others again, which wouldn’t be good.”
“As for the matter of going home to live, that would require special treatment, so it wouldn’t be a good way to start university.” It wouldn’t be conducive to her establishing a good relationship with others in school.
“It’s up to you.” Wei Zhiqian had a mirthful expression in his eyes as he said, “You can change your mind at any time anyway, so it doesn’t matter.”
Wei Zhiqian had come to see if Tan Mo’s first day at school had gone well. After confirming that it had, he went back to work.
The Tan family and Qin Muye walked all around the campus with Tan Mo and Ming Yeqing. Tan Mo and Ming Yeqing were able to get a bit familiar with the campus this way.
In the end, Tan Mo took them all to the school gates.
Tan Wenci was almost tearing up as he said, “The next time I see you will be in two weeks.”
Tan Mo would start military training the day after tomorrow, so she had to gather together with her class tomorrow.
During military training, she couldn’t leave campus, so this would be the first time they would ever be separated from Tan Mo for such a long time.
Tan Wenci forcibly held back his tears.
Xu Mingzhen also felt reluctant and heavy-hearted. She was really worried about leaving Tan Mo here alone.
She sighed. If she hadn’t skipped grades, it would have been nice for her to come to Beijing University with Qin Muye.
Those two children always took care of each other, so she would feel more at ease.
“Mo Mo, you will lose weight after the military training,” Qin Muye said. “Military training is so exhausting. It doesn’t matter if you get tan, but you must eat more or you won’t have enough physical strength.”
“Why didn’t you choose the same major as Mo Mo?” Qin Muye smacked Ming Yeqing angrily.
“Don’t cause trouble. Yeqing wants to study aerospace engineering. Our country will have a brilliant scientist in the future.” Tan Mo smiled and grabbed Qin Muye’s hand. “Having him study finance with me would be a waste of talent.”
Tan Jinqi, who had been silent, suddenly asked, “Mo Mo, did you choose finance because of us?”
Tan Mo knew that he wants to be a director.
Tan Jinsheng likes to write songs and sing.
Tan Jinyi has been artistic since he was young and likes to draw.
When they first filled in their college applications, Tan Mo told them to major in what they liked to do.
Tan Wenci also said they didn’t need to worry about his company, and they should choose what they liked to do.
In the future, he could find a professional manager to manage his company.
But he didn’t expect that Tan Mo would choose to major in finance.
Moreover, she’d acted mysteriously and refused to say what major she would choose. She’d simply told them to trust her.
Tan Jinqi didn’t want Tan Mo to sacrifice her own preferences for them.
As her older brothers, clearly they should protect their sister.
To think about it, although it seemed like they were spoiling Tan Mo on the surface, in fact, regarding big matters, Tan Mo was spoiling them.
Tan Mo had chosen to skip grades in order to grow up faster, to be on her own, and to have the power to help them.
Tan Mo had been admitted to Beijing University and had chosen to major in finance in order to take over the Tan family’s company, to be able to back them, and to support their dreams so that they would have no worries.
Tan Jinqi felt overwhelmed with emotion.
His sister was so kind that he was unable to express her kindness in words. He just wanted to treat Tan Mo even better.
“Mo Mo!” Tan Jinsheng and Tan Jinyi also shouted.
Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen looked at Tan Mo in surprise.
Tan Mo had actually done it in order to support the dreams of her brothers.
“I didn’t make any sacrifices. I don’t have any special hobbies, and my only dream is that my family can have a good life and be able to live happily and without regrets. These are my dreams and hobbies, so I am working hard to fulfill my dreams.” Tan Mo smiled very warmly.
“So I chose finance. As long as my brothers can fulfill their dreams, I will be very happy. There is nothing that makes me feel more fulfilled.” Tan Mo shook her fingers at them and said, “At least in terms of learning, no matter what I study, I learn so fast that I don’t have any sense of accomplishment.”
Everyone: “…”
Needless to say, that last sentence was her subtle way of showing off again.
“Mo Mo…” Tan Jinqi felt anguished.
“This is Mo Mo’s kind gesture, so accept it.” Tan Wenci showed a relieved smile. “But, Mo Mo, if you find something you like in the future, just do it. You don’t need to worry about the company or supporting your brothers’ dreams. I’m still here.”
