"Don't act so pitiful," Professor Gu said helplessly. "Yuemu's group does have more challenges, and they're bigger ones. One more person means more strength. Besides, Tan Mo's knowledge of Warring States characters is obviously much better than Yuemu's. He's a huge help. It's a shame he's not with Yuemu's group."
"By the way, Tan Mo, how many can you recognize?" Shen Hongshan asked.
"I haven't really calculated this carefully." Tan Mo shook his head.
"That's right." Shen Hongshan nodded. "Who has nothing better to do than count these things?"
"Come, let me tell you how we work here." Wang Yuemu didn't waste any time and pulled Tan Mo to introduce.
"We each get a portion of the literature and work together. First, identify the characters you know. If you encounter a character you don't understand, print it out and stick it on the whiteboard. If others know a character, they write it down. If no one claims it, they look it up in the dictionary," Wang Yuemu explained. "It's really that simple. There's nothing else to do. I'll give you my copy later."
After Wang Yuemu finished the introduction, he went to find a part of it.
A thin booklet.
"Try these first. Because our project is quite large and complicated, each person can only do a small part at a time. If we do too much, it will be a headache and we might lose motivation." Wang Yuemu explained, "Tell me when you're done and I'll give you another part. That's basically it."
"Because everyone's class schedule is different, we may not be able to get together at a fixed time. Just like today, several of your seniors didn't come because they had classes." Wang Yuemu took Tan Mo to a wall again.
There is a small whiteboard hanging on the wall.
A column of names is written vertically on the whiteboard.
Wang Yuemu and others were among them.
Then I knew it should be the list of the entire team.
Each name is followed by a time period.
Sure enough, Wang Yuemu introduced: "This is the list of our entire team. The time periods at the end indicate the times they can come every day."
"So, we will stick up the unrecognizable words here first. When we are not here, if someone else comes and sees them, they will write them next to them if they recognize them. Then they will be able to see them when we come back." Wang Yuemu explained.
Tan Mo nodded and understood.
It has the same meaning as a letter.
"Take a look at your schedule and write down when it's best for you to come. Write it down after your name," Wang Yuemu said, writing Tan Mo's name in the last row. "You don't have to come every day. Everyone has things they have to deal with. Even if you can't come during the time you wrote, just ask for leave. It's okay."
It doesn't seem to be mandatory.
It’s just that they all took the initiative to seize this opportunity and wanted to devote themselves to research from the bottom of their hearts.
I wish I could make full use of all my extracurricular time and compress my limited rest time again and again.
Therefore, unless they have to take leave, no one will give up their research to rest or have fun.
"That's about it. I can't think of anything more right now." Wang Yuemu thought about it, but couldn't remember anything else. "When you've been here for a while and become familiar with it, you'll know some of the more detailed things yourself."
Tan Mo nodded.
Seeing that she was still holding the documents, Wang Yuemu said, "This is your desk. You don't have a computer yet, so we'll apply for one later. When we first established this research group, the school allocated equipment based on the number of people. Otherwise, it would be a waste to have a computer sitting here unused."
"Computers are very fast." Wang Yuemu said, "It will be inconvenient for you to work without a computer. Just treat this afternoon as a chance to get familiar with our environment."
Don't rush into work immediately.
Tan Mo nodded and took out the schedule from his schoolbag: "Then I'll go write down the time I'll be here."
Tan Mo wrote down the time he could come on the whiteboard based on his free time.
After all, Wang Yuemu and others are all from the Chinese Department, so it is relatively convenient to arrange it.
She is in the finance department and has to complete her homework there.
In addition, she also has to attend Professor Tang's class.
It’s not that she is overconfident. She will probably join Professor Tang’s research team in the future.
Judging from what Wu Xiaoye said, it should be a matter of time.
So, her schedule is very full.
However, since he hasn't joined Professor Tang yet, Tan Mo has arranged the length of his stay here to be the same as everyone else.
If Professor Tang asks her to join, she will come and discuss with Professor Gu to shorten the time.
Anyway, it’s not that she is lazy and doesn’t want to do it, it’s that Professor Tang insists on competing with Professor Gu for the person, it has nothing to do with her.
If Professor Gu has any opinions, he can go to Professor Tang.
However, Tan Mo felt that with his work efficiency, he could shorten the time here and be on par with others.
After finishing writing, Tan Mo wandered around the laboratory.
The laboratory is not big, and she mainly observes how everyone works.
This way, when she officially joins, she will be able to cooperate better.
Wang Yuemu and others didn't expect Tan Mo to come to work immediately.
I just arrived today.
Besides, Tan Mo doesn’t even have a computer yet.
Wang Yuemu was not idle either. He quickly went to apply and ask Professor Gu for his signature.
"The computer should be delivered tomorrow." Wang Yuemu looked at Tan Mo with bright eyes.
So, just stroll around today.
Get to work tomorrow!
Tan Mo: “…”
As he spoke, a few more pieces of paper with words printed on them were pinned to the whiteboard with magnetic pins.
Tan Mo was familiar with the working methods here, and since he was free anyway, he decided to follow along and watch.
If you know a word, write it down.
If you don’t know the person, just help look him up.
Although we didn't have a computer yet, we could still do things like look up words in the dictionary.
With Tan Mo's joining, Wang Yuemu's team was pleasantly surprised to find that their efficiency had become much faster!
It’s twice as much as usual!
Pu Xinyan stood up and twisted her neck: "How about we stop here today? Otherwise, I feel like my cervical spine can't take it anymore."
"Me too." Ling Zimu also stood up.
"Okay, let's stop here for today. We are very efficient today and have completed the previous daily workload ahead of time." Wang Yuemu saved the information carefully, organized it, and labeled it to make it easier to find tomorrow.
"Although we didn't know many words before, since we always had to get up and stick the words on, it was also an opportunity to exercise and stretch ourselves." Wang Yuemu stood up and said with a smile.
