Chapter 181: Comfort

Professor Liu slowly got up and smoothed out the wrinkles on his pants. “But, still, overall, this defeat is all my fault. I shouldn't underestimate you.”

Professor Gu clicked his tongue as he heard that. He never liked Professor Liu's arrogance.

“Underestimating me? Well, well, aren't you great at making excuses? Have you really forgotten how old Tan Mo is? Or how old are your students? Seriously, how long have your students been preparing for this tournament? Five, six years? They lost to the freshmen, and all you have to say is that you have underestimated us? You should look for a better reason.” Professor Gu sighed.

He's correct. Professor Liu completely forgot that Tan Mo was just a freshman because he shone so brightly on stage.

“Gu, come on, spill the nuts,” Professor Liu laughed. “We're all curious. Why don't you tell us more about your new miracle?"

Since Tan Mo was already part of his team at Beijing University, Professor Gu was not afraid that other universities would try and encourage him to join them. So he did not need to keep his identity secret anymore.

“Tan Mo's. He's a 15-year-old freshman at my university. As soon as he came in, he became part of my research team.”

As for the fact that he was a student at the Ministry of Finance and not the Department of China, Professor Gu decided not to mention it.

More accurately, he had forgotten everything as well.

“Then, once again, besides Shuang University, all your presidents did go to City B personally and tried to invite Tan Mo to your university. Too bad their offer is not good enough when compared to President Mu's offer,” Professor Gu said.

Some might call President Mu of Beijing University a cunning man, but that is a useful trait for things like this. Professor Gu has always believed that President Mu's cunning has won Tan Mo over to Beijing University.

However, if President Shi of Tsinghua University was the one who managed to recruit Tan Mo, then the tournament would have a completely different ending.

Then, once again, when Professor Gu thought about it, even if Tan Mo attended Tsinghua University, Professor Liu would probably not realize his talent.

Since Tan Mo was the highest scorer in the College Entrance Examination, it was natural for Professor Gu to know about him. He had invited her to his research team as soon as he was accepted into Beijing University. He was always proud of himself for discovering his talent.

But if he went to Tsinghua University, Professor Liu wouldn't even know who he was. His talent would be in vain if he studied there.

When Professor Wu of Shuang University heard that his president had not invited Tan Mo to their university, he almost went crazy.

What the hell are you doing? How can you be so unreliable? Did you not know that the presidents of the other five major universities went to invite him personally? How did you not leave? To show that you're not like them? I know he will never come to our university even if you leave, but shouldn't you at least show sincerity? Look what you've done! We are like a strange child in a family now.Why should you drag me down this shameful path with you?

Professor Wu kept insulting his university president in his mind, the more he thought about all this.

“Yes, President Mu we spent a lot of resources to make sure Tan Mo will come to Beijing University. And it seems worth it. Heck, Tan Mo is more valuable than the resources we spend!” Professor Gu laughed as he walked out of the hall, not wanting to spend a single second there.

The professors from the other five universities all stared at Professor Gu, completely dumbfounded.

Did they regret not being able to recruit Tan Mo to their university? Professor Gu never knew if they regretted it or not, and, to be honest, he didn't care.

All participants prepare to return to their home universities when Professor Gu joins his team.

Instead of clearing his team, Tan Mo instead ran to Wei Zhiqian.

Wei Zhiqian greeted him with a gentle look. It was as if there was a warm sun in his eyes.

He gently patted her on the head and said, “It looks like you are the star of the show today. Why don't you go back to college with your team?”

Wei Zhiqian was confident that Tan Mo would get a lot of attention after what he did in the competition.

“I also have to return to my company for a while,” Wei Zhiqian apologized. “See how well Momo is doing today, this requires celebration.”

“Are you going to prepare a gift?” Tan Mo asked with a plain face.

“Is there anything you want?” Wei Zhiqian did not deny it.

“Not really.” Tan Mo shook his head. “All I want is an uncle to celebrate with me. I accepted the invitation of Beijing University because I thought you would always be there. But it turns out you're rare in school, and I don't really see you at all.”.

Wei Zhiqian knew that he was too busy these days. He had to get to know the inside and outside of the Weifeng Company in no time. From managing the company to getting the approval of the top brass and the head of each department, he must prove that he has the ability to take over as president of the company in the near future.

What he wanted was not for people to acknowledge him but for them to submit to him.

Of course, there were people who abused their positions in such a large company, which was why he was so busy these days, and the pressure he had to deal with was immense.

He never told anyone about the pressure he had to face and endured it all by himself.

It was not something that one had to deal with alone.

“Who said that he is an adult now and won't stick to me like he used to?” Wei Zhiqian smiled.

“It's different! My point is that I can't let you hug me anymore, but I didn't say anything about not being able to see you.”

“OK okay.” Wei Zhiqian laughed. “I promise to spend more time with you from now on, okay?”

Unexpectedly, he shook his head. “I'm not very mature, you know? You don't really have to pay attention to my harsh words. That's all I do. You have to take care of everything in the company so that you will not be stressed anymore. And once you're done, you'll have time to spend with me, won't you? That's why you should focus on the company, make sure you take over properly, and tell the others who's their boss, understand?”

Tan Mo said while looking at him. Her eyes showed that she had complete trust in him, that she had never doubted his abilities.

His words made Wei Zhiqian shiver slightly.

He had never said anything about his stress to anyone before, yet Tan Mo could see the pressure he had to endure and what his purpose was.

The only people who knew were his parents, and they never comforted him like Tan Mo did.

The truth is that he doesn't want anyone to sympathize with him, but for people to understand what he's going through.

That was why he was touched by Tan Mo's words. Everything he did and felt was seen and understood by him, and he was the first person to ever comfort him.
