"But Tan Mo knows so many words, which saves us a lot of effort in looking up words in the dictionary. She even does the dictionary lookup work for us." Wang Yuemu said while pinching the back of her neck, "We don't even have to look up."
"That's enough!" Ying Siyuan was listening over there, and his heart was so sour that it felt like a lemon.
"You snatch Tan Mo from our group and make a fortune quietly! Do you have to tell us about it to provoke us?" Ying Siyuan said gritting his teeth.
"That's right!" Guan Ruyue followed.
Wang Yuemu laughed and said, "Our group has been struggling for so long. It's a rare opportunity for us to have a smooth transition. Why don't you give it to us?"
In the laboratory, the discussion on ink went smoothly.
Everyone has a good personality. Although they can all be considered literati, they do not look down on each other.
They all accepted her very well, joked with each other and didn't get angry easily.
After Tan Mo had adapted, it was time for him to attend Professor Tang's class.
Since there were only 20 people taking the course, it was in a small classroom.
When Tan Mo walked to the door, he saw a row of single desks and chairs inside. The intervals between them were quite spacious, and there was plenty of space.
There were still nearly 20 minutes before class started, and everyone was already in the classroom.
Tan Mo only took a cursory glance and clearly confirmed the number of people.
Exactly 20 people.
Professor Tang hasn't arrived yet.
Since it was a sophomore course, I naturally couldn’t see Wu Xiaoye.
Apart from Wu Xiaoye, Tan Mo didn't know anyone else in the history department.
Tan Mo was about to go in when he heard people inside discussing something.
"Have you heard? A freshman has joined Professor Gu's research team."
"I heard about it, but unfortunately I don't know anyone in the research team, so I can't find anyone to ask."
Tan Moxin said, don’t you know him?
They are all a group of doctoral students.
It’s a bit too early for you to want to meet him in your sophomore year.
She completely forgot that she was only a freshman herself.
"Now, apart from knowing that he is a freshman, I don't know anything else."
"I do know some students in the Chinese Department." They were all sophomores in their year. "A lot of them are very dissatisfied with this. Who in the Chinese Department wouldn't want to join Professor Gu's team? But because the team is full of doctoral students, they are all top students, so no one expects anything. But now tell them that a freshman has joined too. Who can be happy?"
"If a freshman can get in, why can't the sophomores? They have one more year of study." someone said.
"That's the truth. It's not the lack of opportunities that's worrying, but the inequality," someone chimed in. "If they were only looking for PhD students, that would be fine. But why can't other students get in, and only a freshman get in? The semester has just started, and they haven't even taken a few classes yet."
"Where does that freshman come from?" someone asked.
But the classmates all shook their heads.
The people in Professor Gu's team are the elite among the elites. They usually focus on research and rarely participate in social gatherings.
They didn't even know each other, let alone say a few words.
"Yang Jiamao, you know a lot of people, but you didn't find out anything?" a boy asked.
Yang Jiamao has a wide circle of friends and he actually knows a few doctoral students.
"Well, don't tell me, I actually went to ask about it. I asked Senior Brother Ying Siyuan from Professor Gu's team, but he refused to say anything." Yang Jiamao said with a depressed look on his face.
Ying Siyuan, who was working hard in the laboratory, suddenly sneezed.
"Have you caught a cold? Is the air conditioner here set too low?" Wang Yuemu glanced sideways.
"Senior Brother Ying, your physical condition is a bit poor. Although there is a saying about weak scholars, none of us girls are sick. How come you got sick from the air conditioner?" Pu Xinyan teased with a smile.
"I'm not sick." Ying Siyuan rubbed his index finger under his nose twice. "I wonder who is talking about me."
"Who still misses you?" Shen Hongshan said with a smile.
Ying Siyuan has been at Peking University since his freshman year, but he doesn't even have a girlfriend. Who would still care about him?
"You know what? A while ago, a sophomore came to me and asked about Tan Mo." Ying Siyuan thought for a moment and said, "He's from the History Department."
"He's a sophomore in the History Department, why is he here asking about our Chinese Department?" Guan Ruyue was puzzled. "Even if they wanted to poach someone, it would be someone from Professor Tang's team who would come to inquire. It wouldn't be the turn of a sophomore, right?"
"Who knows? Anyway, just ask what Tan Mo's situation is and how he was able to join our research team in his freshman year." Ying Siyuan smiled.
Ling Zimu immediately started to plot: "Were they sent by Professor Tang's team? They thought we wouldn't tell them if they came to ask us in person, so they found a sophomore to let you down?"
Wu Jiazhen came straight over, and before Ying Siyuan could react, Wu Jiazhen's big face appeared in front of him, which scared him so much that he almost fell off the chair.
"Oh my god! What are you doing? It's so scary!" Ying Siyuan screamed in fright.
"Senior brother, did you say that?" Wu Jiazhen stared at Ying Siyuan nervously.
You must not say it!
"No." Ying Siyuan pulled Wu Jiazhen's face away. "How could I not have even a little bit of vigilance? I didn't say anything anyway. But I don't think it was Professor Tang's people who asked this question. Because the kid asked me which class the freshman was from, whether I was male or female, and how I got in. He knew nothing about Tan Mo. If it was Professor Tang's people, would they ask such questions?"
"That's true." Wu Jiazhen murmured and nodded.
"But I'm still very cautious." Ying Siyuan praised himself first, "No matter what he means, I won't make any mistakes if I don't say anything."
"Yes! Team leader is wise!" Wu Jiazhen cooperated very well and gave a thumbs up to Ying Siyuan.
Meanwhile, the boy named Yang Jiamao said, "My friends in the Chinese department asked me to find out, so I went to ask. Otherwise, even if he's a freshman, he wouldn't have anything to do with our History department. But, I really didn't find out anything."
"I think a lot of people in the Chinese department are upset. It's okay for undergraduates, but it's mainly for those above that. Many doctoral students weren't able to join, and now a freshman is allowed in. How can they feel comfortable with that?"
"The key is, we haven't even taken a few classes yet. The professional courses you take after entering school are completely different from the superficial knowledge you learned in junior high and high school. With the little knowledge you've accumulated up to high school, you're supposed to join Professor Gu's team? What a joke!"
Tan Mo raised his eyebrows. He really didn't expect that although she was not in the Chinese Department or the History Department, her legend was circulating in these two departments.
