Chapter 114 - The Wonders of the Chinese Language

Chapter 114: The Wonders of the Chinese Language

“School hasn’t started yet. Tan Mo still has two weeks of military training, so don’t you two still have two weeks to convince…” President Mu made a faux pas and almost told the truth. “No, you two still have two weeks to convince her to renounce the dark side.”

Teacher Hong: “…”

She could still hear them.

Since when had the finance department become the dark side?

“Why rush over on the first day? Won’t you guys alarm her? If you guys let Tan Mo know your intentions, what if she hides from you guys in the future? You should take your time, use personal charm to persuade her and professional charm to convince her. Let her experience the greatness of history and the charm of our Chinese language.”

Professor Tang: “…”

Professor Gu: “…”

They had been too rash.

They had been impulsive.

“The two of you have been doing research for too long, so you two aren’t very…” President Mu was looking for suitable words.

Unexpectedly, Professor Gu said, “Insidious?”

President Mu: “…”

As expected of a Chinese literary scholar…

The wonders of the Chinese language!

“No no, I didn’t mean that.” Was he an insidious person?

He definitely wasn’t.

“You need to be a bit more flexible. In short, it’s just a matter of slowing down, don’t scare the little girl,” President Mu persuaded.

Seeing that the two of them were already starting to listen to him, President Mu hurriedly said, “Why don’t you guys call it quits for today? You two can go back and think about countermeasures. Now, Teacher Hong is still talking about things here, so we’re interrupting them.”

“All right.” Professor Gu reluctantly agreed.

“I will go back and think about it.” Professor Tang pondered for a while, then remembered something important. “But, Old Gu, I have to say we need to make a pact–you can’t talk to Tan Mo alone. Let’s play it fair and try to persuade her when we are both present.”

“Fine.” Professor Gu agreed absentmindedly.

He didn’t really believe in the pact. If he didn’t look for Tan Mo alone, would Professor Tang be so honest as to not look for her alone?

As if he doesn’t know how he is…

Whoever plays by the rules will lose!

As if researchers like them are all aboveboard people?

President Mu was really relieved, so he turned his head and said to Teacher Hong, “Teacher Hong, you can continue. We won’t bother you all anymore.”

No matter what they were really thinking, at least he’d managed to persuade them to stop what they’d been doing for now.

Teacher Hong watched the three of them leave the classroom, then she closed the door and returned.

Looking at the class again, she saw that everyone’s faces were full of shock and complicated expressions at this time.

Probably the impact on them had been too great, and they couldn’t hide their feelings anymore.

“Teacher Hong, what the president just said…” Someone spoke with difficulty, and his voice was a bit hoarse.

Teacher Hong nodded and said, “What President Mu said is true.”

Of course everyone knew it was true.

President Mu said it himself, so it can’t be fake.

“You just heard from Professor Tang that Tan Mo’s essay put forward a new direction for historical research.” Teacher Hong smiled slightly and said, “After Tan Mo’s college entrance examination results came out, the top six universities were all asking where to find Tan Mo.

“Besides Shuang University, there were five other universities. Of course, this also includes Beijing University and Hua University,” Teacher Hong added. “The principals of these five universities rushed to Jixia Academy in person.”

“Jixia Academy?” Someone was surprised.

“That’s right.” Teacher Hong nodded, but was then a little surprised and asked, “You guys don’t know about this?”

All the students shook their heads. How could they know?

Tan Mo hasn’t said anything.

Everyone looked at Tan Mo’s three roommates: Jin Yuelin, Meng Yuxi, and Lin Fuxi.

The classmates sitting next to Jin Yuelin and Meng Yuxi, front to back and left to right, came up to them and asked, “Did you guys know that Tan Mo graduated from Jixia Academy?”

Jin Yuelin and Meng Yuxi shook their heads.

Jin Yuelin said, “I didn’t know since she hadn’t said it. Not only that, we didn’t even know that she was the liberal arts top scorer in City B this year, let alone that President Mu had given her offers with many favorable conditions for her to come to Beijing University.”

Meng Yuxi nodded in agreement.

They didn’t know Tan Mo’s family background, but just from her clothes and speech they could see that her family’s financial conditions must be pretty good.

But no one thought about her being uber-rich.

Although they didn’t know the Tan family, they knew Jixia Academy.

They understood that people who could enter Jixia Academy weren’t just ordinary wealthy people.

Tan Mo’s family…

The expression in everyone’s eyes changed when they looked at Tan Mo again.

Before, they were saying that Lin Fuxi had been modest for not even saying that she had received a full scholarship.

However, now they knew that Tan Mo was much more modest.

Not only did she get a full scholarship, but she didn’t spend a single penny on tuition and had been begged to enroll by President Mu himself.

Also she had such a prominent family background as well.

“Tan Mo, you are really…too modest…” Someone couldn’t help but say.

What they had said to Lin Fuxi just now had been done out of obsequious motives, but now they really couldn’t help but feel this from the bottom of their hearts.

If Tan Mo had revealed even a bit of what Teacher Hong had said, it would be enough to make people shocked.

Tan Mo hurriedly waved her hand and said with trepidation, “President Mu did personally invite me and offer me these conditions, but because there were too many conditions, it would be troublesome to say all of them.”

Everyone: “…”

Why did these words give them such ambivalent emotions?

There was nothing wrong with every word, and they weren’t harsh words, but when connected together, it gave them such an unpleasant feeling.

“And no one asked, so there was no need for me to say it myself.” Tan Mo’s facial expression was earnest and a bit bashful.

Jin Yuelin: “…”

Meng Yuxi: “…”

Lin Fuxi: “…”

They all felt as if she was throwing shade at them.

In the dormitory yesterday, didn’t the three of them take the initiative to introduce themselves thoroughly?

“As for Jixia Academy, please don’t get me wrong.” Tan Mo hurriedly waved her two hands in a panic, as if she was so frantic that she didn’t know where to put them. A few boys were suddenly struck by her adorable appearance.

“Our family is an ordinary family, and I couldn’t have gotten into Jixia Academy because of my own family. But, Jixia Academy has a special recruitment quota every year…” Tan Mo thought that this wasn’t exactly a lie.

The Tan family really didn’t have the ability to send her to Jixia Academy.

She’d relied on a quota given by Wei Mingwen, so it was basically another form of special recruitment quota.

Yes, she didn’t lie.

After Tan Mo said this, the students immediately believed her.

Jixia Academy does have special recruitment, especially for those particularly academically outstanding students.

After all, Tan Mo was a 15-year-old perfect scorer, and she had been coaxed to enroll in Beijing University by President Mu.

The word coax was used by President Mu himself.

Just now, Professor Tang and Professor Gu were even fighting over her.
