"So, the previous few times that Huada was able to win were because of you guys letting us win?" Professor Liu said with a sarcastic tone.

From the tone of his voice, I knew he didn't think so.

"Oh, whatever you say, the rankings of each university's departments speak for themselves." Professor Gu was too lazy to pay attention.

"Yes, it's true that your Peking University's Chinese Department is ranked first every year," Professor Liu said. "But this ranking is based on a comprehensive evaluation of various criteria, and it doesn't simply mean that your department's students are strong."

Otherwise, how could his students lose 9 times out of 10?

"It's just a competition. Does winning first place prove you're strong?" Professor Gu disagreed.

"So, just because your department ranked first, that proves it's strong?" Professor Liu was unconvinced. "At least the competition is a real test of the students' abilities. And we're the ones who taught us, and it's the result of their own hard work and study. Just because they ranked first, how can that not prove they're strong?"

"If you're not convinced, then just get first place. It's such a simple thing." Professor Liu snorted, almost pointing his nose at Professor Gu.

Professor Gu was very angry.

Wang Yuemu and others are also under tremendous pressure.

She and Ying Siyuan had participated in two sessions before, the year before last and last year.

Unfortunately, they all lost.

No one else in the team participated.

Either they were busy with research or they were not selected.

After all, there were seniors there last year and the year before.

However, it must be said that Huadu is indeed strong.

After Professor Liu finished his provocation, he laughed and said, "Then I'll be leaving. I look forward to this competition. I hope you can do well! After all, we are ranked first in the department, so we can't keep losing, right?"

Even after Professor Liu left the laboratory, his triumphant laughter continued to echo in the corridor outside the door.

Professor Gu took a deep breath: "Pleasant to the eyes, far-sighted!"

"arrive!"

Wang Yuemu and Ying Siyuan didn't dare to joke at this moment. They all stood up seriously and shouted.

"I won't be selecting anyone for this competition. Just you guys!" Professor Gu said, "Go win!"

"You are my direct disciples, including Tan Mo. Once you join my team, you are my disciples," Professor Gu said. "If you can't win, then no one else can either. So, don't embarrass me!"

Tan Mo came here not just to help.

Everyone doing research here doesn't just work on their own.

While researching, we are also learning and discussing with each other.

Professor Gu is here to guide them with details.

This is much more effective than ordinary classes.

To put it simply, this is equivalent to tutoring!

What you learn in school is definitely not as detailed as what you learn in private or at home.

Because teachers have to take into account the progress of the majority of students in the class and cannot keep slowing down the progress.

If you can’t learn it, you can only ask the teacher privately.

But tutoring is different. There are fewer students, maybe four or five, or even just you, and you receive one-on-one teaching.

If you don’t understand something, just ask and I will teach you until you understand it.

The effects are naturally different.

"yes!"

"yes!"

Wang Yuemu and Ying Siyuan stood at attention and responded in unison.

Professor Gu walked away angrily with his hands behind his back.

Not to mention, when Professor Gu got angry, the atmosphere in the laboratory became quite tense.

No one dared to breathe.

Only when Professor Gu left with his hands behind his back did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Tan Mo finally poked his head out from behind the computer screen and asked, "Who was that professor just now?"

"It's Professor Liu from the Chinese Department of Hua University." Wang Yuemu came over to explain and touched Tan Mo's hair.

Tan Mo is smart and young.

In the team, he has become a mascot.

Everyone who sees her wants to touch her head.

I feel uncomfortable if I don’t touch it for a day.

"Professor Gu doesn't like him?" Tan Mo asked in a low voice.

"Hahaha, it's not that they don't like each other, it's just that they are old rivals." Ying Siyuan laughed, and looked towards the door very cautiously.

After confirming that Professor Gu was truly gone, he said, "They're both quite old now, and have been competing with each other their entire lives. They're not enemies, but more like enemies. Professor Gu and Professor Liu were once classmates, studying under the same teacher."

"But when they were still students, the two of them were competing with each other." Ying Siyuan was more familiar with their affairs. "Of course, this also has its advantages. Their grades have always been good because of each other's stimulation."

"Later, one of them went to Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and the other to Peking University. Since they were both leading figures in their respective Chinese departments, they started competing again. They competed for departmental rankings, academic research results, and who could teach more outstanding students. In short, they would compete for everything they could."

Wang Yuemu chuckled softly and said, "The time these two have been competing and entangled with each other is longer than the time I have been with their wives."

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Aren’t these a pair of old enemies?

"It wasn't until five years ago that the Ancient Chinese Language Competition was launched. It's a competition among higher education institutions, but every year it's only between our top six institutions; other schools don't qualify." Wang Yuemu explained, "Ying Siyuan and I only started participating two years ago, and have participated in two sessions in total. Because our seniors were there before, your other seniors on our team weren't able to participate."

"However, given their personalities, they're not really keen on participating," Ying Siyuan said. "They're eager to use their time to learn more and do more research. I'd be the same way."

"Yes, it takes quite a long time to participate in the competition. The competition city changes every year, and it basically rotates among the six major universities." Wang Yuemu followed up, "I remember that this year it seems to be Hua University's turn."

Pu Xinyan smiled and said, "I remember that Tan Mo was personally invited by President Shi of Hua University, but he ultimately failed to snatch the position from our President Mu, right? It's a perfect opportunity to go to Hua University and show President Shi the student that our President Mu snatched away."

"Please be a human being." Shen Hongshan said, how bad.

But after he finished speaking, he laughed himself.

"Yes, Tan Mo must go with us then." Ling Zimu said.

"What is the competition about?" Tan Mo still didn't know.

"Actually, these are the ones we usually study. The mainstream scripts of various periods. Like the bronze inscriptions of the Western Zhou and Spring and Autumn periods, the characters of the Warring States period, the Qin seal script, and so on." Wang Yuemu explained, "There are also some translations of ancient documents. These are mostly multiple-choice questions. You won't be asked to translate on the spot, as that would take up too much time. However, these will mostly be scored in a quick-answer format."

"Actually, it's not difficult for you." Ying Siyuan said.
