"Professor Gu just said that we should all go. So Tan Mo, you must go too." Ying Siyuan touched his chin. "The competition system is that six schools will send one student to participate in each round, and the winner will advance. But none of this matters. You will know when the time comes."
Tan Mo nodded. In fact, no one took this matter to heart.
Research is more important.
After that, Tan Mo's days became like going to the library to read books, doing research in the laboratory, attending classes in the Finance Department, memorizing the "Warring States Characters", and doing Professor Tang's exercises.
Every day is packed with activities.
Even though she has a photographic memory, reading a book takes time, right?
Research takes time, right?
Therefore, these things really took up all her time except for eating and sleeping.
Tan Mo was so busy that he had no time to do anything else. He really had no time.
At this moment, Tan Mo finally understood what Tan Jinqi meant when he said before school started that she would be too busy to go home.
It really makes Tan Jinqi talk!
However, no matter how busy he is, Tan Mo still insists on going home to visit on weekends.
Otherwise, her parents and brothers would miss her to death.
That day, Tan Mo and others were in the laboratory.
Professor Gu suddenly came in angrily.
Everyone: “…”
Professor Gu has been very irritable lately and gets angry easily.
"Principal Gang Mu discussed with me the candidates for this ancient Chinese competition. I said that just a few of you would be enough, but he said that if we send people without selection, other students will feel it is unfair and that there must be something fishy going on." Professor Gu felt a toothache when he talked about it.
In particular, Principal Mu also said that Tan Mo was from the Finance Department and went to participate in the Chinese Department's competition.
Let other students know and the opinions will be even louder.
Professor Gu immediately criticized them, saying that even if they were selected, no one else would have a chance!
What is your level? Don’t you have any idea?
What if you've never been to a game before?
Freshmen don’t know, and sophomores and above don’t know either?
How difficult are the competition questions? Still no idea?
But Principal Mu insisted that they knew the students' abilities, but the school could not be blamed for the overall situation.
I can’t think about it. My teeth hurt when I think about Professor Gu.
"So, I've already signed you all up," Professor Gu said angrily. "Tan Mo, too. Join us. Then, all of you, go participate in the on-campus tryouts and get your spots."
"yes!"
Everyone quickly agreed, who would dare to refuse?
Including Tan Mo, they now know that Professor Gu is so persistent in insisting on letting them participate, rather than others, precisely because they are his disciples and can best represent him. Winning will bring honor to Professor Gu.
Tan Mo was secretly shocked. How could this old man, who was originally quite gentle and polite, be provoked into this state by Professor Liu?
"I selected all of you to join the team. I think you are the best talents in the Chinese Department." Professor Gu said, and saw Tan Mo looking at him with sparkling eyes in the crowd.
Professor Gu paused for a moment and added, "Of course, there are also some talented students from the Department of Finance who belong to the Chinese Department."
Everyone: “…”
Professor Gu’s words are really confusing!
"So, you all must pass this campus selection!" Professor Gu said sternly. "You are my students. If some of you fail, I'll be utterly embarrassed!"
Professor Gu gave everyone a death order: they must pass!
If someone fails, Professor Gu will probably not be in a good mood for a long time.
Everyone shuddered, quickly standing at attention with their heads held high and their chests puffed out: "Yes! We guarantee everyone will pass!"
Professor Gu nodded in satisfaction and walked away leisurely.
Professor Gu was the first to know the news.
So Tan Mo and others were the first to know the news.
Principal Mu just talked to Professor Gu first.
What remains is to customize a specific and detailed plan.
Therefore, it took a week for each department to find out and pass the information on to each class.
Teacher Hong conveyed the matter to the class monitor Lin Fuxi and asked Lin Fuxi to hold a class meeting to convey the message.
Anyway, although the registration is school-wide, the focus is still on the Chinese Department.
It's just a formality to inform other departments and classes, and we don't expect anyone to actually sign up.
It’s just that the school has an event and they have an obligation to inform the students.
I told you about the event, whether you participate or not is up to you.
You can choose not to participate, but you can't say I didn't tell you.
Lin Fuxi said at the podium: "So this time, in order to select candidates for the Ancient Chinese Language Competition, we will hold auditions in the school. It's actually very simple. Just go to the multimedia classroom and everyone will answer questions online at the same time."
"The Classical Chinese Language Competition is mostly a quick-answer competition, so time is tight. This time, the computer-answered questions give 10 seconds to answer each question. The computer automatically judges the questions, so after answering, everyone can immediately know their score," said Lin Fuxi. "And they can review which questions they got wrong."
"Also, the rankings column on the page will be updated in real time, with all scores and rankings open and transparent." Lin Fuxi paused, then said, "There's no need to worry about any shady manipulation."
Everyone was not sure if they were seeing things.
But they always felt that when Lin Fuxi mentioned the behind-the-scenes manipulation later, he seemed to glance at Tan Mo.
Everyone: “…”
Did I see it right?
The students next to each other looked at each other.
Does everyone think so?
Then I must have seen it right.
This Lin Fuxi...
Is there anything wrong?
It depends on what Tan Mo does in this matter!
Tan Mo didn't do anything behind the scenes!
Everyone was secretly complaining.
"Everyone can see the final rankings," Lin Fuxi added. "If you're interested in participating, you can contact me to sign up. Registration is open now. The registration deadline is this Wednesday, so there's not much time left to consider."
As soon as Lin Fuxi finished speaking, a buzz of discussion broke out in the classroom.
"Are you going to join?"
"Class monitor, is there a registration fee to participate?" someone asked.
"No need," Lin Fuxi said. "This is about representing the school and bringing honor to the school. There's no registration fee, and there seems to be a reward for winning. I don't know the specifics of the reward, but I've heard there is one."
"The rewards don't really matter to me. It just looks like a lively place, so I want to join in."
"But we can only join in the fun. The final candidate will definitely be from the Chinese Department. After all, they are the professionals."
"Do you know what the ancient Chinese language competitions in previous years were about?"
When this question was asked, a group of people shook their heads in confusion.
Lin Fuxi's eyes flashed, and he said, "Perhaps Tan Mo knows? Hasn't Professor Gu always been optimistic about Tan Mo?"
