“Beijing University has considered this possibility, so we do not use the method of choosing the best in events that are not competitions. As long as students are interested, we will register them. The school will try its best to help students within its capabilities.”
Qi Yuanqi was speechless.
Mr. Gu was the same.
Why were these people from Beijing University so good at talking?
Compared to Song Mingqi, Qi Yuanqi seemed to be a fool.
Song Mingqi felt that no one was perfect.
Zhang Zhipeng certainly had areas in which he was weaker and would want to train.
Wei Haosong quickly said, “In this regard, Beijing University is more comprehensive. You are an outstanding student. It is actually not fair to you if we insist on being fair and giving everyone a chance. You are so outstanding, so you can have more opportunities.”
“Why shouldn’t we give those opportunities to you when you are outstanding?” Wei Haosong had hit a chord in Zhang Zhipeng’s heart.
As the top scholar for the college entrance examination this year, Zhang Zhipeng was a little prideful.
“There are many competitive events and are prepared for students who are as outstanding as you,” Wei Haosong said with a smile.
Tan Mo finally understood why the Department of Chinese Literature had sent Wei Haosong over.
He was truly shameless when he spoke.
“While those non-competitive events can let you train the areas that you are not good in, it is being kind to students at the largest degree. We can let students who are at the forefront train and not cause students who rank behind miss out on opportunities.”
Mr. Gu immediately turned to look at Guo Xiaohui.
He was impressed with how well this student from the Department of Chinese Literature spoke.
‘You can also say something impressive!’
Guo Xiaohui remained silent.
“It seems like Beijing University is really my ideal school.” Zhang Zhipeng nodded.
It was also important that Tan Mo, an idol, was there.
“Beijing University will not let you down.” Mr. Sun quickly took out some documents. “Student Zhang Zhipeng, fill in these. When you register your school of interest online, remember to choose Beijing University.”
“Alright.” Zhang Zhipeng nodded and went to fill in the documents.
At this time, Tan Mo received a notification from WeChat.
Tan Mo did not take it out immediately as she was busy.
Mr. Gu’s phone also received a notification from WeChat.
Mr. Gu also did not take out his phone.
Zhang Zhipeng finished filling in the documents.
Mr. Sun’s mission was accomplished.
The principal showed them to the door.
They had just left the office building when Tan Mo heard a voice from the flowerpot beside her. “News news, new news! It is lively at Jiaoyuan Second High School next door.”
Jiaoyuan Second High School and Jiaoyuan First High School were only a distance of one bus stop apart, so they were considered to be close to one another.
“What is it? What is it? Tell me quickly. How is it lively?”
“It seems that at Jiaoyuan Second High School, students from Beijing University and Hua University are competing in mathematics, and Beijing university is about to lose!”
“Aiya, aren’t there people from Beijing University and Hua University here?”
“Yes. Aren’t they right beside us? They seem to be here to recruit a student from our school. What is the name of that student again?”
“I wonder if Beijing University or Hua University won over there?”
Soon, they digressed from the topic.
Tan Mo looked to the side and saw that the plants were trembling amongst the flowerpots.
However, there was no wind.
Tan Mo knew that those voices were emitted from these plants.
Tan Mo recalled that she had received a notification from WeChat and immediately took out her phone to look at it.
It was Mr. Zhu who had sent her a message. “Tan Mo, we need your support! Come quickly!”
Tan Mo replied, “Mr. Zhu, what is the situation?”
Mr. Zhu heaved a breath of relief. “You finally replied. Students from Hua University’s Department of Mathematics are also here and are competing to recruit Lin Jingyuan. The people from Hua University said that their ranking in mathematics is higher and directly said that our Department of Mathematics is not good. They said that we can’t even compete for another round.”
Tan Mo asked, “Did we lose so badly?”
Mr. Zhu replied, “If it was under normal circumstances, it wouldn’t be that case. But we lost the first opportunity, and the mental capacity of the two students from the Department of Mathematics are not strong enough.”
Mr. Zhu explained, “This is what happened. Jiaoyuan Second High School’s students returned to school today. When we arrived, Lin Jingyuan’s class was discussing university registration. We had originally wanted to talk to Lin Jingyuan in private, but the bunch from Hua University said that there was no need to talk in private and that they would showcase Hua University’s capabilities to the other students. What if other students scored enough to enroll in Hua University?”
“Du Zeyang and Chi Xuanzi certainly would not admit defeat,” Mr. Zhu said, “so they also advertised about Beijing University. Both of them argued and Hua University suggested to have a match.”
“Both sides will come up with a question and let the other party answer. However, the side that came up with the question must be able to answer it. Otherwise, if the question is one that was famous worldwide for being unsolved, then no one could answer it and it would be invalid,” Mr. Zhu said.
“In the beginning, both sides were equal. As competitions are highly stressful, and the questions got more difficult, more people gathered at the location. Not only from Lin Jingyuan’s class, but students from other classes also heard about it and came over.”
“As there were more spectators, the mental stress on Du Zeyang and Chi Xuanzi grew.” Mr. Zhu sounded helpless. “They are considered to be the top students amongst the third year in the Department of Mathematics, but they were indeed slightly poorer in handling stress.”
“With more people, it got noisier. There were all sorts of voices and words being said, and all sorts of comments from the sidelines were continuous. Slowly, Du Zeyang and Chi Xuanzi were less able to concentrate, and their mental state was affected by all of the comments.
“The people from Hua university have no class. They added fuel to the fire and used words to provoke Du Zeyang and Chi Xuanzi, causing them to be out of their right state of mind. The difficulty level of the questions should not cause them so much difficulty.”
“Tan Mo, you have to come over and handle the situation and repress their arrogance!” Mr. Zhu was very angry. “This is not my department. Otherwise, I would not let them off!”
Now, Tan Mo was not able to hide her capabilities.
This was not the time to hide her capabilities.
At Beijing University, President Mu, Professor Tang, Professor Gu, and Professor Yue treated her very well.
Although she had just met Mr. Zhu for the first time, he was very friendly to her and treated her as one of his own without any qualms.
The teachers she had interacted with treated her very well.
That included Mr. Sun and Ms. Hu.
Tan Mo had seen herself as part of Beijing University for a long time. She had unknowingly developed a sense of togetherness and honor toward the university.
“I come over now.” Tan Mo immediately when to find Mr. Sun and Ms. Hu.
Both teachers were very close with her.
That was especially so for Mr. Sun, who had accompanied the team to Hua University to participate in the Ancient Text Competition.
