Chapter 153 Old Rival



I guess Professor Tang also knew that she really couldn't squeeze out the time.

But that's how things are, I can't help but think about it.

Tan Mo had just come up with this idea when he was called to Professor Tang's office.

Professor Tang was smiling and extremely kind.

"Professor Tang, don't laugh like that. If you have something to say, just tell me directly." Tan Mo felt that Professor Tang's smile was too cunning.

Professor Tang: “…”

"I've given you a question, try it."

It was said to be a set of questions, but what Professor Tang took out turned out to be a booklet made up of bound A4 papers.

Judging from its thickness, it is almost the same as the winter vacation playground in elementary school.

Tan Mo: “…”

Seeing Tan Mo's face fall, Professor Tang gloated, "These aren't ordinary exam questions. There are no multiple-choice questions, only long-form questions. There are all kinds of questions, such as chronological events, the deeds and influences of historical figures, their impact on the present and future generations, and how you view them. Of course, these aren't the kinds of questions you've encountered in the college entrance examination. Those are too superficial."

"What you propose will definitely not be that shallow." Tan Mo could guess it without even looking at it.

Professor Tang was amused by Tan Mo's miserable look.

This little girl is so lazy, yet she knows so much.

"Don't cry so hard, you know. Those who are capable should do more work!" Professor Tang said with a smile. "While each of these questions isn't enough to warrant a full essay, they're also not something that can be answered in a few simple sentences. So, don't rush to give me this test. It even covers questions from higher-level courses, including those for doctoral students."

"Go ahead and look up the information. This doesn't require you to take a closed-book exam."

Professor Tang pressed his index finger against the stubble on his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "You have to balance studying in the Department of Finance with research in the Department of Chinese. That's already more than the workload of more than 90% of the students at Peking University."

More than 90% is still Professor Tang’s conservative estimate.

At Kyoto University, you have to work very hard to study a major, otherwise you will fall behind if you are not careful.

Tan Mo is studying three majors by himself.

Although Tan Mo did not attend all the professional courses in the History Department and the Chinese Department, they were taught personally by Professor Tang and Professor Gu.

Tan Mo's life is no easier than that of students majoring in Chinese and History.

Those students only envied the status of being the old professor's personal disciple. It was so good to be taught by the old professor himself. It was so enviable and close to him.

But I don’t know how much pressure these disciples are under.

"So, I don't expect you to finish this test and hand it in to me anytime soon," Professor Tang said with a smile. "Just this semester. After you finish this semester's final exam, give me your answer sheet. This is the deadline."

"Okay." Although Tan Mo was lazy, she never shirked her responsibilities or did things perfunctorily when she was assigned a task.

As long as you accept it, you must do your best.

Only after Tan Mo left did Professor Tang smile in the office.

He didn't tell Tan Mo that this test was an assessment for joining his research team.

When he first created the team, he made a list.

They are all students he likes.

However, there were still too many people, and his team was limited in number.

So, I distributed the test paper and asked them to do it.

This test will be used to select the final list of people entering the team.

Professor Gu's students accepted Tan Mo very well.

He didn't know what would happen to his students.

I simply gave Tan Mo this question and asked her to do it.

When the time comes, Tan Mo will have finished answering. As long as he passes the test, he will just show the answer sheet to the students in the team.

Nothing is more convincing than strength.

Tan Mo didn't know yet that she would eventually have to join Professor Tang's team.

At this moment, I was walking towards Professor Gu's laboratory with my bag on my back.

Enter the building and take the elevator up.

As soon as she got out of the elevator, she saw a man who looked about the same age as Professor Gu walking in front of her.

He should have just come out of the elevator next to him.

Tan Mo didn't take it seriously and just walked behind him.

As she walked, she found that the man in front of her was walking in the same direction as her.

It was not until they reached the door of the laboratory that the other party went in first.

Just as Tan Mo was about to go in, he heard the man in front of him chuckle and shout, "Hahahaha, Lao Gu, how are you these days?"

But looking at Professor Gu's expression, it seemed that he didn't like him very much.

Tan Mo walked in and quietly found a place to watch.

Maybe she is too low-key and too quiet.

In addition, everyone's attention is now on the man who suddenly came in.

Even if Wang Yuemu and the others noticed Tan Mo, they didn't have time to greet him.

We all know each other so well, there's no need to greet each other.

Tan Mo found an inconspicuous seat and sat down.

His entire body was hidden behind the computer screen, with only half of his head visible.

"Liu Jicheng, why are you here?" Professor Gu curled his lips in displeasure.

It was the first time that Tan Mo saw Professor Gu like this, and he was a little curious.

Wang Yuemu and the others all called out obediently, "Professor Liu."

Obviously knew him.

Tan Mo hid behind the computer screen. She didn't know the other person anyway.

Professor Liu greeted everyone so quickly that he probably couldn't even see who was who.

The attention returned to Professor Gu: "Hey, Old Gu, why are you still so cold to me?"

Professor Gu snorted and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Professor Liu didn't care and continued to introduce himself: "I brought students here for an exchange, and they have their student ID cards to visit Peking University. I have nothing to do, so I came to see you."

"Haha." Professor Gu said with a fake smile, "People have seen it. Go back and find your students."

"It's okay, they have other teachers leading the team." Professor Liu waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "There was no need for me to come."

The fact that he could call Professor Gu "Lao Gu" shows his status.

"But I wasn't thinking, can I come and see you while I'm here? So I just came along for a walk." Professor Liu didn't seem to mind Professor Gu's dislike at all.

"Hey, why are you so cold?" Professor Liu laughed. "I came all the way to see you."

"Haha." Professor Gu could only sneer.

"By the way, have you chosen your team members for the Ancient Chinese Language Competition?" Professor Liu looked around. "All the children in your team will participate, right?"

"It hasn't been decided yet." Professor Gu was too lazy to say more. "We're usually busy with research and don't want to show off. Even if we participate, it's just for show."

"Oh, aren't you trying to save face for yourself in advance? You're afraid that Peking University will be embarrassed if they lose, so you say it's just a token of your appreciation, making it seem like you didn't try your best at all and were just giving in to us?" Professor Liu said sarcastically.
