Chapter 154: Can You Behave Like a Normal Person?
“Of course, Tsinghua University won the competition earlier because you guys underestimated us, right?” Professor Liu said mockingly.
Judging from his tone of voice, it was clear that he did not think it was actually happening.
“Ha, ha, ha, think whatever you want. You should refer to the official university rankings.” Professor Gu did not want to get involved in this conversation.
“Indeed, the Chinese language department of Beijing University always ranks first every year,” continued Professor Liu. “But this rating is rated comprehensively on several components. That doesn't mean that your students are the most capable.”
Otherwise, why would his students lose 90 percent of the time?
“It's just a competition. Does winning first place mean someone is more capable?” Professor Gu could not accept this.
“Then does your official university ranking mean you are more capable?” Professor Liu asked.
“If you can't accept this, then you should win first place. As simple as that.” Professor Liu grunts. A piece of snot flew out from his nose and almost landed on Professor Gu.
Professor Gu became very angry.
Wang Yuemu and his team were under a lot of pressure.
He and Ying Siyuan had previously participated in the competition event twice. This was last year and the year before.
Unfortunately, both lost.
No one else on the team is currently participating.
Some of them are too busy with research. Others have not been selected.
After all, the team was mostly made up of older students.
However, they have to admit that Tsinghua University is a pretty strong competitor.
At this point, Professor Liu had finished provoking them. He laughed and said, “I'll be leaving now. I will anticipate a good result from your team in this year's competition. After all, you guys are officially a top-ranked university. Surely you cannot sustain this losing streak, right?”
Even after Professor Liu stepped out of the research room, they could hear his proud laughter echoing in the corridor.
Professor Gu took a deep breath. “Yuemu, Siyuan!”
“Yes, Prof?”
Wang Yuemu and Ying Siyuan did not dare to joke around. The two stood up solemnly and reported to him.
“I won't choose anyone else for this competition. You will represent us again.” Professor Gu continued, “Win the competition!
“You are all my personal mentees, including Tan Mo. Once you get into my team, I am your mentor,” Professor Guo said.
“If you can't win, then no one else can win either. So, don't embarrass our team or our university.”
Tan Mo's role is not just to help.
Everyone here is doing research, and, as they work, they are not just looking after themselves.
On the sidelines of their research work, they studied and discussed together at the same time.
They even had Professor Gu's support, and he would show them all the small details.
This atmosphere is even more conducive than ordinary lectures.
In other words, this is a private tutoring session.
Lectures that are usually held by the school are certainly not as comprehensive as this private tutoring session.
This is because lecturers usually have to serve most students and teach accordingly. They can't slow down their lessons.
If a student could not catch up, he had no choice but to ask the lecturer personally.
But private tutoring sessions are different. There were fewer students in groups of four and five. Sometimes, there is even a student: teacher ratio of one to one.
If there is something you do not understand, you can ask the professor directly. He will be able to explain the concept until you understand it well.
“Ya!”
“Ya!”
Wang Yuemu and Ying Siyuan stood up straight and replied simultaneously.
Professor Gu walked with a huff, his hands behind his back.
Because Professor Gu was upset, the atmosphere in the research room became extremely tense.
Everyone was affected by the impressive atmosphere.
As soon as Professor Gu left, everyone finally let out a sigh of relief.
Little head Tan Mo finally peeked out from behind the computer screen. “Who is that professor?”
“He's Professor Liu. She teaches Chinese at Tsinghua University.” Wang Yuemu looked at him and explained. At the same time, he stroked Tan Mo's head.
Tan Mo is a smart and intelligent girl. But he is also very young.
He's already the team mascot.
Everyone who saw her was tempted to stroke her hair.
It made them very uncomfortable to go one day without stroking his head.
“Professor Gu doesn't seem to like it,” Tan Mo said in a soft voice.
“Ha, ha, ha, not that he doesn't like it. They are old rivals,” Ying Siyuan explained with a smile. Then he glanced at the door carefully.
As soon as he was sure that Professor Gu had left, he continued, “They have both been fine for many years, and they have been competing with each other for a very long time. They were not really enemies, they were more like sworn enemies. Professor Gu and Professor Liu even graduated from the same school, and they were taught by the same teacher."
“First when they were students, they were also very competitive.” Ying Siyuan was very familiar with their relationship. “Of course, this comes with many benefits. Their results are always amazing because they push each other."
“Furthermore, one of them went to Tsinghua University. while the other came to Beijing University. The two of them were the heads of the Chinese Department, and this competitive spirit ignited once again. They compete in official university rankings, as well as in the results of their research work. They will also race to see which students are better off. Overall, they compete in almost everything.”
Wang Yuemu chuckled as he said in a low voice, “They have been competing for a long time. Longer than the time they married their wives!”
When everyone heard this, they laughed.
They should be destined for each other, right?
“Five years ago, Ancient Text Competition was launched. All the most important educational institutions are involved, but, to be honest, there is always competition between schools that rank in the top six. Other universities are always unable to advance to the final round,” explained Wang Yuemu.
“Ying Siyuan and I started participating two years ago. We have joined a total of two competition events. Since we previously had seniors on our team, the additional seniors were unable to participate.”
“However, given their personalities, they are honestly not interested in participating in this kind of event,” Ying Siyuan said.
“They prefer to spend their time studying and research. If it's up to me, I feel the same.”
“Indeed, entering the competition is very time consuming. Each year, a different city hosts a competition. Basically, the responsibility rotated between the top six schools,” Wang Yuemu continued. “If I remember correctly, Tsinghua University is in charge this year.”
Pu Xinyan chuckled. “I heard that the Head of Tsinghua University, Mr. Shi, gave Tan Mo a personal invitation to attend. In the end, Master Mu won it. We should take this opportunity to visit Tsinghua University. We will let Mr. Shi notice the disciple that Mr. Mu snatched from him.”
“Can you behave like a normal person?” shen Hongshan. This is bad logic.
However, a smile also appeared on his face.
“Oh, right, when the time comes, Tan Mo should definitely come with us,” Ling Zimu said.
“For what is this competition?” Tan Mo was still completely in the dark.
“To be honest, the content is the same as our usual research work. Various scripts and writing styles used in different time periods were tested: for example, Western Zhou, Chinese bronze inscriptions in the History of Spring and Autumn, Warring States scripts, and Western Zhou, and Qin seal script, ”clear Wang Yuemu.
“We also need to know some translations of ancient text documents. Most of these types of questions are multiple choice and you don't have to do the translation on the spot. If not, it will take too much time. However, they are the first to come, first serve buzzer questions, and that is how the score is calculated.”
“To be honest, it won't be too challenging for you,” Ying Siyuan added.
