Chapter 150: There's Nothing Wrong With The Way They Think

“Nobody needs to work hard. If they want to attend our classes, they can just sit down,” added someone else.

“Indeed, Senior Wu, making arrangements to add one more person might not be a big deal to you. What is the difference between 20th grade and 21st grade? The extra people won't change much. But have you ever considered the possibility that other students might hear about this? A person who does not get a place can still attend college by sitting down. If other students follow his example, then what is the result of our hard work? Everyone will just sit. We should have larger classrooms and organize lectures on a larger scale.”

“That's right!” Everyone enthusiastically chimed in.

Wu Xiaoye frowned. He sighed and turned to speak to Tan Mo apologetically. “Sorry, I didn't take good care of this. I don't expect everyone to be so against someone sitting.”

“Senior, you don't seem to understand why they are against this,” Tan Mo said.

“You understand why?” Wu Xiaoye was very confused.

He did not look down on Tan Mo.

However, Tan Mo was only 15 years old.

Even if his IQ was sky-high, he probably wouldn't be able to fully understand the psychological state of these people, right?

“To be honest, I completely understand where they came from,” Tan Mo said.

“Senior Wu, I'm sure you feel that studying is a good thing. You may think that more people should be encouraged to have this thirst for learning. It doesn't bother you that others learn the exact same subjects. You're used to doing research with Professor Tang and have devoted all your energy to your academics. You wholeheartedly want to learn more and unearth the mysteries of ancient history. You want to know more and let this world have a better understanding of history."

“You are in the same position as the professor. The two of you have gone beyond the need to compete and are at a more advanced stage of life. In your research work, you are concerned with spreading knowledge, rather than gathering knowledge for yourself. You are both responsible for spreading knowledge, while we are the recipients of that knowledge."

“Your thoughts are fixed on the past and future of the world.”

History is the study of the past, while leaving notes for the future.

“But they are different from you.” Tan Mo didn't choose anyone.

Everyone present knew that Tan Mo was referring to the students in the class. Wu Xiaoye and the 20 students knew who he was talking about.

“They are still in the stage of life where competition is very important. They want to attract the attention of the professor to get a place in his research team or internship as his mentee. If they are successful at it, they may get a letter of recommendation that allows them to enter the workforce in their area of specialization. In conclusion, they do this for their jobs and future prospects."

“Schools created this system to motivate students and remind them that your time here at university involves survival of the fittest. There is no room for error. After all, Professor Tang might not have that much energy at his age. The seniors worked hard to earn a place in this class, which was considered to be their hard-earned fruit. What if someone takes a piece of cake without working? They will naturally get angry. For example, you might hire a tour guide to give you a private tour. However, you suddenly realize that others have gathered to listen. What's more, they even get the attention of the tour guide you spent real money on, causing you trouble hearing what he said. The one who pays will definitely feel angry."

“You can't blame the senior. They just think from a different perspective than you.” Tan Mo had explained everything to Wu Xiaoye solemnly and seriously.

Tan Mo did not often behave like this.

As he reminded his three brothers to take care of themselves at all times, he also spoke very seriously.

There was not much difference in his attitude then and now.

Wu Xiaoye was a very clear-minded man. Tan Mo could feel a clean aura coming from him.

This was because he was completely free of distractions. Simple mind.

So Tan Mo knew that he could speak earnestly to Wu Xiaoye.

Wu Xiaoye was stunned for a few seconds, but slowly he finally nodded his head.

He'll understand.

All 20 students in the room remained silent.

Their faces looked slightly red from embarrassment. It seemed that Tan Mo had hit a nail on the head.

Their intentions were not entirely pure, and this was what embarrassed them when they heard Tan Mo speak.

They also feel very humiliated.

Even though Tan Mo had hit a nail on the head, were they wrong?

Nah!

They have worked hard relentlessly to gain acceptance into Beijing University. Wh-wh-what for?

Isn't that to secure a brighter future for themselves?

At Beijing University, they have worked hard consistently. This is all for the sake of securing good prospects after graduation.

Is there something wrong with working hard?

They were ordinary people who could not dedicate their lives to the spirit of academia. Continues to?

What's more, if they can really attract the attention of professors and do research with him…

If research can be their job and if they are trying to get it done, does it matter if their intentions are pure?

They're pissed. They can't accept this.

Most importantly, his words completely exposed them, and it was as if he had stripped them of their clothes and skin.

They were called in by his words, and they could no longer cover up their intentions. This made everyone feel extremely uncomfortable, even though they were several years older than him.

It was almost as if he had seen through them.

“This is my fault.” Wu Xiaoye nodded. He finally understood. “I didn't handle this properly. It was all my fault.”

“Do not worry.” A voice sounded from the door.

Everyone looks up.

They saw Professor Tang walking in with a stack of teaching resources in his hands.

First, he placed the teaching materials on the pulpit. Then he spoke to the audience, “It was I who asked Wu Xiaoye to take Tan Mo to a seat. Tan Mo is very talented and I personally went to see him and asked him to join my class.”

At that moment, everyone let out a deep breath.

Some of them unconsciously held their breath.

Now everyone's eyes were on Professor Tang.

Some of them couldn't help but glance at Tan Mo as well.

They had worked very hard to be chosen by Professor Tang.

It was like a difficult journey they had to go on. First, they must rank in the top 20 in the majors. Then they had to compete amongst themselves in this class.

In the end, Tan Mo instantly caught Professor Tang's attention.

Isn't he a freshman?

He just graduated this year and did not attend many classes. However, Professor Tang knew that he was talented?

Many people were filled with jealousy, and many of them were unable to accept this.

“Actually, no one needs to be so worried about this,” Professor Tang explained.

“Tan Mo probably won't be able to attend many lessons.”

Professor Tang had originally intended to choose from this pool of top students.

Even if their current standards were not enough to become official members of his team, they could still do some trivial administrative work alongside others.

Moreover, they were only second year students. It was morning.

He still needed to observe them for a few more years.

However, he had just heard Tan Mo's words. Professor Tang looked at the faces of these students once again.

These students were like little children to him.

No matter how intelligent the children are, they are still immature.

Professor Tang could read their minds just by glancing at their faces.

Tan Mo was very precise.

However, Professor Tang only gave them a cursory glance. He did not reveal any traces of expression.

They're just a bunch of kids. Tan Mo was right, there was nothing wrong with their way of thinking.
