Top-notch Master Masquerading As Cannon Fodder Female Companion - Chapter 112
Chapter 112: Competing for Her
“Lin Fuxi, you’re so modest.”
“Yes, you speak quietly, and you didn’t say anything about getting a full scholarship. Aren’t you too modest?”
“Obviously you’re very capable, so you have to let others know that you are capable.”
Didn’t Tan Mo emphasize that she was only 15 years old?
Now Tan Mo had been completely outshone by Lin Fuxi in terms of achievements and character.
“I don’t like to show off.” Unlike Tan Mo, she was insinuating.
The others also thought of Tan Mo, and they all looked over at her.
Lin Fuxi tried to act low-key, but she was extremely proud in her heart.
Lin Fuxi looked at Tan Mo
How about it?
Doesn’t the full scholarship from the school prove that I am better than you?
Suddenly, at this time, there was a knock on the door.
Teacher Hong went to open the door, and she froze and said in surprise, “Professor Gu, why are you here?”
“I heard Tan Mo was in your class.” Professor Gu’s voice sounded at the door, “May I come in?”
“Yes, of course.” Teacher Hong hurriedly invited Professor Gu to come in.
All the students looked at Professor Gu.
Although they were finance majors, they still had reverence for highly esteemed professors like Professor Gu.
Even though Professor Gu taught at Beijing University, it wasn’t like they could meet him whenever they wanted to.
Professor Gu was one of the most important professors in the nation.
Relying on Professor Gu, the Chinese Department of Beijing University has been steadily outshining all the other major universities in China, including Hua University.
Hua University and Beijing University almost take turns being ranked first every year.
But in terms of professional evaluation, the Chinese Department of Beijing University has never been surpassed, and it has always been far ahead of all the others.
Because they had Professor Gu!
Hua University had been gearing up to headhunt Professor Gu, but President Mu was always very vigilant.
He had even once said that Professor Gu was a treasure of Beijing University.
Professor Gu had now actually come to the class to find Tan Mo.
Was this because of her essay?
The essay impressed Professor Gu so much that he personally came to find her…?
Everyone couldn’t help looking at Lin Fuxi.
Although Lin Fuxi had received a full scholarship, Professor Gu hadn’t come to find her.
Lin Fuxi looked at Professor Gu in surprise. Usually, people went to find him, never the other way around.
He had actually come here in person?
Tan Mo did not play dumb and stood up directly and said, “Professor Gu, I am Tan Mo.”
Professor Gu said with a serious expression on his face, “Tan Mo, come to my office with me. I have something to talk to you about.”
Tan Mo was stunned. So serious? What was he going to talk about?
Lin Fuxi was overjoyed. Could it be that Tan Mo was in trouble?
“Old Gu!” An old but loud voice could be heard.
Teacher Hong has been a counselor at Beijing University for many years. Although she didn’t know the old professors very well, she still listened to lectures from time to time and occasionally encountered them on campus.
So she could tell who was yelling at Old Gu.
Why had he come here?
Before Ms. Hong had time to speak, an old man with gray hair and a round face rushed in to say, “Don’t try to play dirty.”
Professor Gu: “…”
“How did I play dirty?” Professor Gu said. “I only arrived earlier than you did.”
“I heard what you said. You said you wanted to talk to Tan Mo.” Professor Tang walked into the room briskly.
“Professor Tang…” Teacher Hong called out hesitantly.
What was the matter with these two old professors?
Professor Tang didn’t have the time to pay attention to her, so he hurriedly said, “Hello”, then turned to Professor Gu, “I came to talk to Tan Mo too.”
“What are you going to talk about with Tan Mo?” Professor Gu felt speechless. “What’s the matter with you?”
“I’m here to talk to Tan Mo about serious business, so don’t make any trouble.” Professor Gu wondered, what was Professor Tang fooling around about?
“I’m not here to make any trouble. Who isn’t here to talk about serious business?” Professor Tang said in frustration.
The eyes of the students shifted back and forth between Professor Gu and Professor Tang.
Professor Tang’s reputation had brought prestige to the History Department of Beijing University, and he was a famous historian in China.
Even the history major students couldn’t get to meet Professor Tang very often.
They can occasionally see him in class. If one can become a direct disciple of Professor Tang, one had an almost 100 percent chance of becoming a big shot in academia.
Of course, Professor Tang hasn’t accepted any disciples for ten years.
He said that he was old, lacking in stamina, unable to motivate these younger people, and had not met any promising students.
But now, these two legendary figures were actually quarreling in their classroom.
This was really a once-in-a-lifetime incident.
Some classmates even wanted to take pictures with their phones.
Fortunately, Teacher Hong was watching, so no one dared.
Otherwise, wouldn’t the reputations of Professor Gu and Professor Tang have been ruined?
“I came here to talk to Tan Mo about changing majors because of that essay. Why are you here?” Professor Gu asked.
“I also came to ask Tan Mo to discuss changing majors because of that essay,” Professor Tang said.
Professor Gu: “…”
“You are doing this on purpose!” Professor Gu became very angry and said, “Tan Mo is obviously a promising student of ancient Chinese. What does she have to do with your Department of History?”
Professor Tang shook his head and lamented, “Old Gu, Old Gu, I didn’t expect you to see things so superficially!”
Professor Gu: “…”
“Tan Mo’s essay fully reveals her profound understanding of history, and the angle of analysis in her essay is something that no one has ever thought of before. This wasn’t a spontaneous inspiration. I had my students do research and they found that Tan Mo’s angle of analysis was really good.” Professor Tang’s smile grew wider and wider.
“From this perspective, we could make a new discovery,” Professor Tang said happily. “Tan Mo, your talents shouldn’t be buried, and the finance department isn’t worthy of you.”
Classmates: “…”
They had a feeling that they were being looked down upon by Professor Tang.
“From your essay, I can see that your research on history has been absolutely profound. It was by no means only from learning through history textbooks and memorizing surface level knowledge.” Professor Tang said to Tan Mo. “People who learn like that can’t write an essay like yours.
“Besides, even my students’ understanding of classical Chinese might not be as good as yours.” Professor Tang sighed and said, “I really don’t know how you learned all this stuff.
“Old people like us have been studying history for decades. Only by focusing on history could we master so much, but you are only 15 years old. You not only needed to study history, but you also must have learned a lot of other things in order to deal with the college entrance examination. Where did you get the spare time to study history so profoundly?
Professor Tang continued, “I’ve thought about it, and I felt that there was only one possibility.
“You really love history, so in this case, you should come to our Department of History,” Professor Tang said to Tan Mo passionately.
