Chapter 146: Go and Find Professor Tang

“Please don't look so pathetic,” Professor Gu said desperately. “The Yuemu group does have more difficult problems to solve. Additional people will add great strength to the team. Moreover, Tan Mo had a better understanding of the ancient literature of the Warring States Era than the Yuemu team. He will be of great help to us, and it would be a pity if he did not join the Yuemu.” team

“Oh, right, Tan Mo, how many words do you know?” Shen Hongshan asked.

“I never track or count it.” Tan Mo shook his head.

“True.” Shen Hongshan nodded. “No one has time for it.”

“Come, let me explain how our team works.” Wang Yuemu did not waste any more time. He grabbed Tan Mo and started introducing him to the process.

“We split the material and give a portion to everyone. It's called teamwork. You should familiarize yourself with the assigned words, and, whenever you come across something you don't understand, you should print it out and paste it onto the board. If someone else knows the answer, they will write it down. If no one can help, then you should check the dictionary.”

Wang Yuemu continued explaining, “To be honest, it is as simple as it gets, and I have nothing else to add. I'll give you part of the transcript later.”

After Wang Yuemu gave the introduction, he checked the part assigned to him.

It was a small booklet.

“Try this first. Since this was a big project, it was quite troublesome to do. Therefore, each person usually only gets a small share at one time. If you do too much at once, it will really suck up your brain power,” explained Wang Yuemu. “After you're done, you can tell me. I'll give you another part. It's basically."

“Because everyone's class schedule is different, there is no exact time for our meeting. Like today, for example, some of our group mates did not come because they have class.” Wang Yuemu brought Tan Mo to the wall.

A mini whiteboard hung on the wall.

The list of names is written on the board.

Wang Yuemu and the team all had names written there.

This is a list of names of all team members.

At the end of each name, the specified time is listed.

Sure enough, he heard Wang Yuemu explain, “This is the name list for our team. The time period listed at the end indicates the available time."

“We paste all the words we cannot recognize onto the board. When we're not around, someone else can come and see the board. If they recognize a word, they will write the answer next to it, and this way, we will be able to see it when we come back later.”

Tan Mo nodded. He'll understand.

It basically works like a messaging system.

“See your class schedule. Find a suitable time and write behind your name.” As Wang Yuemu said this, he added Tan Mo's name at the bottom of the list. “You are not obliged to come every day. After all, everyone has their own commitments and if you can't meet the predetermined time, you can take time off. There will be no problems.”

From the looks of it, it does not seem entirely obligatory to attend these meetings.

However, these students had taken the initiative to take this opportunity. They wanted to immerse themselves into the realm of research and everything was done voluntarily.

If they had a choice, they would wholeheartedly devote all their extracurricular time to this. They will sacrifice a little bit of rest time that they have to do this.

Therefore, taking time off from the project is not too much of a problem. No one would give up on their research time to rest and play.

“That's it. I can't think of anything else.” After thinking for a moment, Wang Yuemu was unable to think of anything else. “Once you are here longer, you will slowly get used to everything, and you will be able to familiarize yourself with the nitty-gritty details.”

Tan Mo nodded.

When Wang Yuemu realized that he was still holding the documents, he said, “This will be your desk. Right now, you don't have a computer. We'll propose to him later. When we first formed this research team, the school provided us with resources according to our initial number. Otherwise, it would be useless if we left one unused computer."

“Everything will work faster with the computer,” explained Wang Yuemu. “Without a computer, it would be very inconvenient to do your job. You should spend the afternoon getting used to this place.”

There is no hurry to get to work.

Tan Mo nodded. He pulled out his class schedule from his bag. “I'll write down my time first.”

Tan Mo wrote down the available time according to the free time on his schedule.

After all, Wang Yuemu and the rest of the team majored in Chinese. They can easily make arrangements among themselves.

Moreover, she had to attend Professor Tang's class as well.

To be honest, he didn't do this because of his overconfidence. In the future, he would most likely have to join Professor Tang's research team as well.

From what he gathered from Wu Xiaoye, he had to join sooner or later.

Therefore, the schedule is really solid.

However, right now, he had yet to join Professor Tang's team. So Tan Mo aligned his time with others, setting aside the same amount of time as everyone else.

If Professor Tang requested his participation as well, he would negotiate with Professor Gu and ask him to shorten his commitment in this regard.

After all, he did not do this because he was lazy or unmotivated. If Professor Tang and Professor Gu are determined to compete for the workforce, it has nothing to do with him.

If Professor Gu had an opinion on this, he would have to go and look for Professor Tang.

However, based on his productivity level and efficiency, Tan Mo felt that he would be able to complete the same amount of work as everyone else even if he reduced his commitment time.

After writing everything down, Tan Mo wandered around the research room to take a look.

The research room is not big. He focused on observing how everyone was doing their job.

This way, he could work well together once he officially joined the team.

Wang Yuemu and the team also did not expect Tan Mo would start working soon.

He just arrived today.

Moreover, Tan Mo did not even have a computer yet.

Wang Yuemu also did not laze around. He immediately went to print the application form for the new computer and went to find Professor Gu to get his signature.

“Computer will probably be here tomorrow,” Wang Yuemu told Tan Mo with bright eyes.

Therefore, it was fine if he decided to take a look around just today.

From tomorrow onwards, it will be hard work.

Tan Mo: “....”.

During their conversation, a few new words had been printed and taped onto the board.

Tan Mo had already familiarized himself with the work process. Since he was free, he decided to go and see her.

If he recognizes one of the words, he will write down the answer.

If not, he will try his best to find the answer.

Although he still did not have a computer, he was able to check the dictionary.

As soon as Tan Mo joined the team, Wang Yuemu's team was shocked to learn that their productivity level had increased drastically.

Their output is twice as high as usual.

Pu Xinyan stood up and stretched her body. “Why don't we stop here today? My neck can't stand it anymore.”

“I also.” Ling Zumu also stood up.

“Alright, let's stop here today. We've been very productive, and we've passed our daily quota.” Wang Yuemu kept his work and reorganized his documents to make them easier to find the next day.

“Although we haven't recognized many words yet, we should still stand to paste those words onto the board. It's a good opportunity for us to exercise and rest,” Wang Yuemu said with a smile as he stood up.
