Chapter 190: Arogan's Personality

Wu Xiaoye nodded and retrieved the documents from Professor Tang. When he saw the name on the cover of the document, he was stunned for a moment before printing out eight copies of the answer and sharing it with the other team members while keeping the originals to himself.

“Alright! Everyone, stop what you did for a while and read the documents Xiaoye gave first,” urged Professor Zhao to them, not wanting to make Tan Mo wait too long.

“Tan Mo?” One of the research team members raised their eyebrows when they saw the name.

“Tan Mo same who won the Ancient Text Competition?”

That year's Ancient Text Competition was known to everyone at the university.

Usually, only those who are interested will enter the competition. Most who are not students of the Chinese Department will not even notice it.

But this year was different because Tan Mo had destroyed the team of the other five universities by himself.

He even made some Tsinghua University contestants cry as they left the stage.

Tsinghua University had turned the Ancient Text Competition system that year into an elimination system so that they could completely destroy Beijing University.

Instead, they were surprised to find that the change had actually benefited Tan Mo.

Once he stepped onto the stage, he never left until the entire competition was over.

He proved to everyone that as long as he chose to stay on stage, no one could force him down.

Not only that, he even humiliated the entire Tsinghua University team. They lost the entire competition in total humiliation.

The two universities have been rivals for years, and Beijing University students can finally vent their frustration at always losing out to rivals. So, none of them thought that Tan Mo went too far with what he did in the competition.

Of course, there were some who thought that Tan Mo did not need to take such extreme measures.

No matter what the students thought, the name Tan Mo was now known to every Beijing University student.

Although they did not know what he was like, they would still react when they heard his name.

Since his name was a rare name, it was impossible for them to confuse him with anyone else.

“That's right,” Professor Tang nodded.

Yu Jianan started reading Tan Mo's reply. The more he read, the more surprised he became. “It has been amazing for a Finance Ministry student to be better in Chinese than a Chinese Department student, but now he is also showing talent in our department? This answer is much better than I submitted many years ago.”

Shen Jingyi checked her answer for a while and suddenly said, “So, this is Tan Mo? It was a good thing that he won the competition, but wasn't it too much for him to humiliate his opponent? For a young girl like her who is so impulsive, it shows that she has quite an arrogant personality.”

“So, do you think he's wrong?” Wu Xiaoye suddenly asked.

“Not that I have the right to judge him. He did bring pride to the university in the end.” Shen Jingyi smiled.

“But I think we should always respect our opponents. Being so arrogant at such a young age poses a problem. No matter what the reason is, I don't think it's good to humiliate your opponent so badly."

“However, that's not the situation,” Zhong Liusi interrupted. “I don't think any of you know this because you rarely interact with Chinese Department students, but from what I learned from them, Tsinghua University team has underestimated our team for many years. I even heard from the students present there that they not only looked down on us, but also the other four universities. I think it's okay for Tan Mo to teach them a lesson so that they don't get too cocky, that even though we might not be as good as them, it doesn't mean they can trample on our pride. It's just karma doing its job, I guess.”

Zhong Liusi instantly frowned as Shen Jingyi made it sound like Tan Mo was bullying.

The relationship between the two is always stiff. They rarely talk to each other, or, rather, they cannot talk to each other because of their personality differences.

Whenever they had no choice but to talk to each other, they would get straight to the point.

When Zhong Liusi heard Shen Jingyi's reply, he could only sigh. His personality is killing me.

Zhang Honghai raised his head after scanning Tan Mo's answer and asked, “Professor Tang, the reason you showed this to us is because you wanted to include Tan Mo into this team, right?”

“That's right,” Professor Tang nodded.

“To be honest, I had thought of making him part of the team as soon as he got accepted into university, but I was worried you guys would argue because he never proved how good he really was. That's why, after considering, I decided to make him solve these questions first. It was the same question I gave all of you to complete in one semester, but he succeeded before the deadline I set for him, which was after the final. It only took half a semester to produce this.”

Everyone exchanged a quick look. It sounded almost like Professor Tang was praising his own son when he talked about Tan Mo.

He pretty much showed how proud he was on his face, which was something natural as he was the first to notice Tan Mo's talent.

Now, he had proven that he had an eye for seeing talent.

“So, does anyone have an opinion on this issue?” Professor Tang asked.

He could have made Tan Mo part of the team from the start, but chose not to because he wanted the team to accept Tan Mo wholeheartedly.

“I, for example, can't wait for him to be part of this team.” Wu Xiaoye was the first to respond.

“I heard from Wang Yuemu that since Tan Mo joined their team, things have gone much smoother for them. The more I hear about him, the more I want him to join us. I even kept asking myself why Professor Tang was so slow to invite him.”

Instead of being angry at his student for this honest statement, the professor laughed instead.

The others also agreed for Tan Mo to join them.

“Heck, there is no way we will refuse when you show us the answer,” Liu Zhiqi sighed as sweat poured down his face after reading his answer.

It was as if he wasn't working hard when he did it a few years ago, yet he knew he was giving it his all back then.

It wasn't easy being part of Professor Tang's team, and it was too important for them not to take questions seriously.

And, despite all the hard work they had put in for their task, Tan Mo's answer was still far superior to their answer.

Even after being part of Professor Tang's research team for many years and knowing that they would answer questions better now, she said, they still would not give such an outstanding answer to a question like that of Tan Mo.

“But ...,” Shen Jingyi has a worried expression.

“He's a student of the Ministry of Finance, right? And part of Professor Gu's team as well. If he joins us, can he handle the workload? Or, would he support one side rather than the other? There was no way he could divide his time evenly for all three different aspects, right?”
