Chapter 242: Reputation of Beijing University

Lin Fuxi was offended by what Tan Mo said.

It was extremely painful for him as if Tan Mo had just stabbed his heart. Lin Fuxi still remembered the feeling he felt that day. The day when they picked the new class supervisor, and he got zero votes and lost a landslide.

As he learned of the election results, Lin Fuxi cried and ran back to his dorm room. It was truly one of the saddest moments of his life.

Tan Mo did not stand up as he spoke to Lin Fuxi. If Lin Fuxi wanted to remain standing, he thought, then let Lin Fuxi stand.

“Lin Fuxi,” Tan Mo called him again, but this time he did not call Lin Fuxi as the head of the class.

Lin Fuxi glared at him, and Tan Mo continued, “Who are you talking about, a person from a poor family who relies on scholarships for his living expenses? Who did I steal from? I remember that those from below-average income families can apply for benefits, and the university will provide them with monthly benefits. Beijing University has always been good at this. They're attentive to their students who need financial help."

“The University of Beijing decided to invest in students as they send out those acceptance letters, and universities are doing their best to ensure their students can focus on their studies, rather than struggling to earn living expenses. Beijing University has a myriad of financial aid programs for its students, including work study programs, student loans, benefits, and other benefits. That way their students can continue to go to school even if they do not get a scholarship award."

“Also, based on what you say, scholarships can only be obtained by those from poor families? Financial aid is there for those in need, but scholarships are for those who get them; they are not stolen from poor students. Those poor students you spoke of didn't even say anything themselves, wouldn't it be a bit outrageous if you spoke for them like that?"

Tan Mo continued slowly, “I have never heard the students themselves say such a thing. The way you say it .. as if everything you say comes from their own mouth. If someone on the outside hears what you're saying, not knowing the truth, they might blame that student for making an absurd comment."

Tan Mo blinked his eyes hard until they turned red. “You're not so good: make those students your scapegoats."

“Lin Fuxi, if you're not happy I got a scholarship, you can say. Tell me that you are unhappy. You do not need to bring down that innocent student with your irresponsible comments. You said it yourself, everyone is here to learn, and everyone has tried hard to do well in class, but now you have made them your scapegoat. You shouldn't have done that."

“If you don't say all that, those students will still be determined to make something of themselves. They may not have a rich background, but they can rely on themselves. They're not pathetic, and they don't need your mercy.” Tan Mo's voice was not loud, but his words had power in them.

The others in the class listened carefully, and at that moment they also felt something decisive in their hearts.

“You can ask the student himself now, is what you say true.” Tan Mo has a stern expression on his face, “They don't need you to replace them.”

“It's true.” Meng Yuxi was the first to speak. “Lin Fuxi, I know you want the best scholarship, and you're mad for not getting it. But you don't need to bring those students into all this. Speak for yourself if you want to, but don't bring them into it, because how can you know what they're thinking? They are here to learn, not to be taken advantage of by people like you.”

“I agree!” The other classmates who had listened all quietly spoke, nodding in confusion.

“Also, you just told everyone that I'm rich? As you said, this is a gift from the university, and it is based on what I have done in school and outside of school. Since my grades guarantee it, why don't I accept it? I got it with my own hard work and intelligence."

Tan Mo said, “It's like saying.. If your family is rich, then you should work for free, because you already have money to spend. Instead the money should be shared among your poorer peers. Your argument makes no sense. Those who work must earn money for their work."

Lin Fuxi thought, You are just trying to argue with me. Those are two completely different things. Tan Mo was just trying to make everyone confused by the reason of his circle.

“Also, Lin Fuxi, did you say all that because you felt guilty? You think I stole your scholarship?”

Lin Fuxi opened her mouth. He wanted to refute what Tan Mo said, but Lin Fuxi did not say anything.

“By the way, the scholarship is really fair.” Tan Mo would not let Lin Fuxi choose his words.

“Lin Fuxi, as far as I know, you are from the suburbs. The suburbs are not a big city, but your family is not poor. Your parents named you Fu and Xi. To them, you are a joy and a blessing. You are an only child, and your parents love you very much. Your parents may not be very rich, but they are not so poor that you rely on scholarships for your living expenses.”

He was the class supervisor, and he was clear about Lin Fuxi's background.

“How is that fair? Just now you said a lot of random things, but you never said how much you were worth. Why should you get a scholarship?” Lin Fuxi asked hurriedly.

“I'm sure I can have some opinions here,” Counselor Hong spoke.

“You guys were all immersed in the previous discussion, so I don't want to bother you guys. But if it's a question of value, I can answer your question."

“Tan Mo received full marks in his core classes and options,” Advisory Hong said. “Professors who rate your papers look at Tan Mo's answer repeatedly, but can't find a single error. It was true that a full score was rare, but Tan Mo did get it."

“Of course, as Lin Fuxi said, that alone was not enough for Tan Mo to get the best scholarship,” Councillor Hong continued. “But Tan Mo gets extra points from other activities."

“Only his activities have nothing to do with financial school.” Counselor Hong looked at the paper with the grades of all his students and said, “First year, Tan Mo represented the language school and attended the Ancient Text Competition where he was the winner. So for this he got an extra point."

“She joined Professor Gu and Professor Tang's research team and did the research, so she gained additional points there. If any of you can join the research team on campus, you can also earn extra points."

It was difficult to enter the research team as a second-year student. Tan Mo was an exception.

“In addition, I must say, Tan Mo joined two research teams because both professors invited him personally. Our school has been around for over a century. If nothing else, we have character, and we do nothing behind the scenes. We will not kiss-***** affluent students, nor will we discriminate against people who do not." He said that to Lin Fuxi.

Because Lin Fuxi hinted that the school gave Tan Mo a scholarship because he came from a wealthy family. If the public hears his irresponsible comments, the reputation of Beijing University could be damaged.

“Professor Gu and Professor Tang are highly reputable and respected. Their thoughts are only on research, and they will not do anything behind the scenes.”

Everyone nodded. They believed what Counselor Hong said.

Lin Fuxi bit her lips in embarrassment as she said, “I didn't mean to.”

Counselor Hong ignored him as he continued, “What I want to say is that Tan Mo joined those two research teams through his own abilities and expertise. That can be proven by the awards he brought from the language competition."

“In historical matters, if anyone is still suspicious of Tan Mo, please bring someone here from the history school. Find anyone, and see if there is anything better than Tan Mo.”
