Chapter 822 Boycott
After some consideration, Donghua Station agreed to Shi Shule’s request.
Due to the success of this season of ‘I Sing’, the advertising rate was no longer the same as the first season.
The rate had increased by several times. However, the advertisers that had also increased by several times had initiated to invest in the next season of ‘I Sing’.
The program had just ended, but they had been worried that they might be too late.
As for what would happen to ‘I Sing’ in the future, it was a matter of the future.
Tan Mo had also graduated smoothly. When school started again, he would start moving into the postgraduate dormitory.
Jin Yuelin and Meng Yuxi had also been admitted to the postgraduate course at Beijing University.
The postgraduate dormitory at Beijing University was of single rooms. Tan Mo usually lived in Yijing. She was thinking that the postgraduate course was tougher now.
She was taking care of three experimental research teams, and would also study more difficult subjects. Moreover, she had to attend classes. Thus she would have more things to do than before. Therefore, she estimated that she might need to live in the dormitory sometimes.
Before the semester started, students would choose their courses online and check the specific courses and teachers. In the mathematics specialized courses, Tan Mo’s name could be seen in the teaching assistant column for real-variable functions and topology.
Among the freshmen, there were still many people who didn’t know Tan Mo.
Tan Mo’s achievements in mathematics were all due to S.-T. Yau College Student Mathematics Contest.
But those who paid attention to her were the students majoring in mathematics while the attention from others was very little.
Before entering the school, other than a few mathematics geniuses, most of them were working hard to prepare for the college entrance exam.
Other than the college entrance exam, they couldn’t care less about the math competition of the college students.
As for the students who were admitted to Beijing University because of Tan Mo, it was mostly because of ancient Chinese and history.
Tan Mo was indeed very famous in these two aspects.
Although it wasn’t to the extent of a household name, due to ‘Legend of Wei and Jin’ and ‘Broken Continent’, Tan Mo’s fame in history and ancient Chinese was much greater.
Even if the examinees were busy with the college entrance exam, they would somehow still follow the current hot dramas.
Even if they didn’t watch, they had heard of it.
The senior high school grade three students were busy preparing for the exam and didn’t have time to watch ‘Broken Continent’. However, when ‘Legend of Wei and Jin’ was broadcasting, they hadn’t entered senior high school grade three yet. So they still had some time to watch it.
Moreover, Tan Mo was still too young.
The teachers of Beijing University weren’t even professors. They were just teaching assistants, or at least doctoral students.
Therefore, when the students found out that Tan Mo had just entered the postgraduate course, they were dissatisfied.
She didn’t have any qualifications, how could she become a teaching assistant?
The students gathered together and submitted their feedback to the school. They had even started a signing campaign. They expressed that they were attracted to a century-old famous Beijing University by the teachers and professors, as well as all the famous figures in the industry and academia. Although it was just a teaching assistant, there were so many doctoral students. Why would they let Tan Mo, a student who had just been admitted to the postgraduate course and had not officially started her postgraduate course, be their teaching assistant?
The disgruntled students gathered together.
Basically, everyone from every class was present. It was organized by the class monitors by listening to the opinions of the students and bringing a few representatives to meet up together.
“To put it bluntly, Tan Mo is only equivalent to graduating from an undergraduate course,” said a thin boy with a tired face, a bad complexion, and quite a few pimples., “Everyone is an undergraduate student. What qualifications does she have to teach us?”
“I felt the same,” the short-haired girl crossed her arms in front of her. “Although we are freshmen, since we are students who can enter Beijing University, the amount of knowledge we have cannot be measured by the standards of ordinary college entrance examinees. Moreover, after entering the university, we will take up more difficult courses. It’s unavoidable that we have to expand our knowledge outside of the course. When our level is higher, can ordinary undergraduate students teach us? It’s not teaching us, it’s they are discussing with
us.”
“Moreover, Tan Mo is not a major in math,” a square-faced boy wearing glasses said. “I don’t deny her specialty and reputation in history and ancient Chinese. But these are not the qualifications for her to be a math teacher. These are not related to math.”
“No matter how low the position of a teaching assistant is, it is still a teacher. It is to guide the school work and correct the homework,” said a bespectacled male class monitor. “Just as He Qishan said, with our level, we can’t just be satisfied with what is taught in books. We will expand to more difficult content on our own.”
“Those who can enter Beijing University are the best students from all over the country. They won’t take undergraduate of Beijing University as their ultimate goal. There is no such thing as messing around at Beijing University. If we are only contented with learning from textbooks, the content in the curriculum will be eliminated and it won’t be able to keep up with the progress in the future. Therefore, we will have to expand our knowledge and study more in-depth. Is Tan Mo really qualified to guide us?”
“Moreover, most universities have at least a master’s degree to be a teaching assistant. But that’s a normal university, not Beijing University. Is Beijing University a normal university? The teaching assistants of Beijing University don’t even have a master’s degree. Normal universities don’t even have a student who has just entered the postgraduate course to be a teaching assistant, let alone Beijing University. Does it make sense? I’m afraid of being mocked by next door,” said another girl whose hair length had just reached her chin.
When she was in high school, she cut her hair short to concentrate on her studies.
It was t the extent of she didn’t cover her eyebrows at the front, her neck at the back, and her ears on both sides.
This way, she wouldn’t be affected by her hair when she studied and took exams.
She also liked to look pretty. How would she want to keep her hair short? Looking from the back, one would think she was a boy!
Just for the college entrance exam and Beijing University, she would go all out. After getting into the university, she immediately began to keep her hair long. Now the hair length had at least reached her chin.
Everyone knew that the next door she was talking about was Hua University.
Even though it was not right next door.
In the past, Tan Mo had gone to Hua University with her team to participate in various competitions.
The journey was 30 minutes by taking the school bus.
To them, the person next door was just a figure of speech.
“We have launched a signing campaign on the forum,” said a girl with a ponytail who was another class monitor. “As long as the number of signatures reaches a certain number, the school will definitely look into it.” “It just so happens that the course in which Tan Mo is the teaching assistant is compulsory. Even if we don’t want to take the course, we are not allowed to do so,” He Qishan said indignantly. “If it’s an optional course, we can choose not to take it. This way, we can let the school know that we are dissatisfied with Tan Mo being the teaching assistant.”
“Moreover, although Tan Mo is only a teaching assistant now, is she going to be a lecturer in the future? After that, is she going to comment on associate professors and professors?” the girl with her hair length up to her chin said.
