Tan Mo was so frightened that his face turned pale: "Ah? They did it on purpose?"
Zhong Liusi's heart softened: "You are young and don't know how treacherous people are."
Facing Tan Mo, Zhong Liusi's mother's face turned pink, and she touched Tan Mo's hair lovingly: "It's okay, we are here, and we won't let anyone bully you."
"Senior Sister Zhong, you are so nice." Tan Mo was moved and took Zhong Liusi's arm.
Yu Jianan was on the other side of Tan Mo, his eyes red with envy: "And I'll protect you too!"
"Senior Sister Yu, you are so nice." Tan Mo immediately brought water.
The two introduced their work to Tan Mo.
Yu Jianan said: "When you officially start, if you have any questions, feel free to ask us."
"Final exams are coming up soon, and no one has much time for this lately." Zhong Liusi explained, "So you don't have to rush to start. You can officially start next semester."
"I understand." Tan Mo nodded.
"Yes, you should be in a similar situation recently in Professor Gu's team." Yu Jianan thought about it and said with a smile.
"Tan Mo, how is your familiarity?" Shen Jingyi walked over and asked gently.
Just now, Zhong Liusi talked about her attitude towards the game, and her voice was so loud that she could hear it clearly.
I’m afraid Zhong Liusi didn’t say that on purpose for her to hear.
"It's very good. Senior Sister Zhong and Senior Sister Yu explained it to me in great detail." Tan Mo was not on guard at all and seemed to trust Shen Jingyi very much.
It seemed as if Tan Mo really didn't understand the implied meaning of what Shen Jingyi had said before.
"If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I know Senior Sister Zhong and Senior Sister Yu are here. But if they are not here, just come to me." Shen Jingyi is like a gentle and caring elder sister.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Shen." Tan Mo looked at Shen Jingyi with complete trust, smiling with a pure and kind face.
Yu Jianan: “…”
She had already started thinking about how to subtly remind Tan Mo to be careful of Shen Jingyi in private without letting Tan Mo think that she was trying to sow discord.
This is a bit difficult.
She had already seen what kind of person Shen Jingyi was.
Zhong Liusi was still naive and just felt that Shen Jingyi's words made him uncomfortable.
But Zhong Liusi was also wrong in some ways.
She didn't like listening to Shen Jingyi talk, so she simply stopped talking to her.
Ignore her and try to avoid any interaction with her. Even if Shen Jingyi wants to do anything to her, she won't have the chance.
Zhong Liusi acts solely on her intuition, and if you ask her why, she really can't tell you.
But it happened to be the right method.
But Zhong Liusi really couldn't think of reminding Tan Mo to stay away from Shen Jingyi, so he could only rely on Yu Jianan.
Yu Jianan sighed silently, feeling a little tired.

Wu Xiaoye came to Professor Tang’s office and knocked on the door.
I heard Professor Tang's voice inside: "Come in."
Only then did Wu Xiaoye open the door and enter.
Professor Tang was wearing a pair of reading glasses on his nose and was writing something with his head down.
At this time, he raised his head and moved his reading glasses down a little towards the tip of his nose.
He lowered his head, looked up, and saw Wu Xiaoye outside the frame.
"Professor, I have arranged Tan Mo to be in the same group with Zhong Liusi and Yu Jianan." Wu Xiaoye said.
Professor Tang nodded, Wu Xiaoye was still reliable.
Wu Xiaoye could handle it without him having to tell him anything.
"Shen Jingyi..." Professor Tang put down his pen, took off his reading glasses, and slowly muttered the name. "You should pay close attention to her. See if she behaves like she did today. Her words sound fine, but she seems vaguely targeting you."
Wu Xiaoye hesitated for a moment and asked uncertainly, "Do you mean she's targeting Tan Mo, or does she include others as well?"
Professor Tang was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Wu Xiaoye meant.
His face darkened. "Are you saying that Shen Jingyi has targeted other people like this before?"
Now that he had said it, Wu Xiaoye didn't hide it: "Well, it's similar to the situation we talked about today with Tan Mo. Just like what you just said, what she said didn't sound wrong, but if you think about it carefully, you can hear the targeting in her words. But if you refute her on the spot, she will say that she didn't mean it that way."
"Zhong Liusi and Yu Jiannan have both suffered such losses. So they simply don't associate with Shen Jingyi, and even say less to her." It's obvious that if we can't afford to offend them, we can afford to avoid them.
"Why didn't any of you tell me before?" Professor Tang was a little depressed.
Wu Xiaoye smiled bitterly. "How can you say that? Everyone has worked incredibly hard to join your team. If I were to tell anyone about it, it would ruin their future. That wouldn't be fair."
"You still don't know me well enough." Professor Tang pointed helplessly at his most proud student. "No matter how good she is, even if she's the best student among you, if she doesn't have good character, I can't have her on my team."
What's more, Shen Jingyi is not the first.
"Of course, I can't expect everyone in my team to be completely focused on research, untainted by worldly concerns and unconcerned about personal gain or loss," Professor Tang said. "But the bottom line is that you can't engage in internal intrigue, fight against your colleagues, or step on them to climb the ladder. I don't want my well-established team to become a place of smog, a place of intrigue, and to taint the purity of our research. Scholars, after all, must act like scholars."
Professor Tang stood up, looked out the window, and took a deep breath. "The work is almost done now, so it's inappropriate to kick someone out hastily. Shen Jingyi may be a bit of a mess, but she's not wrong at work. The research results have her contributions, but kicking her out before they're finished will only make things worse."
Professor Tang sighed dejectedly, "If I had kicked her out of the team two years ago, at the beginning of the research, before she had even put in much effort, it would have been possible. But now, it's too late."
At most, I will just do the research next time and not bring her along.
Professor Tang and Wu Xiaoye are both gentlemen.
Precisely because they are gentlemen, they have to save face, so they have more concerns.
Wu Xiaoye smiled helplessly. "At the beginning, we had just formed a team and didn't know each other well. How could we have known she would be like this? By the time we got to know her, it was a bit too late. And there was no reason, so who would dare to come and tell you? You'd only make yourself look like a villain who was instigating things behind the scenes."
Professor Tang paused and said angrily, "Then how dare you say that now?"
"Didn't you ask about it? No matter if it's because of Tan Mo or something else, since you've figured it out yourself, I definitely don't need to worry about it." Wu Xiaoye said with a smile.
"I understand." Professor Tang tapped the table unconsciously with his knuckles.
