Chapter 244: Sophomore Exchange

“Didn't they always exchange second graders? Surely it has nothing to do with us.”

Second-year students are not like new students. Second graders have taken some core classes, and they have a certain level of understanding of the subjects, although they still have a lot to learn.

And they're not like seniors. The seniors will graduate soon, and most are already planning to work or to graduate school.

The difference between second-year and senior students is even more obvious.

Second-year student exchanges are the most productive thing to do, as a lot of discussions happen, and discussions help in securing the basics.

Of course, these exchange programs were also meant as a kind of competition.

Tsinghua University and Beijing University have long been competitors in all fields. Their rivalry never stops.

“But we have Tan Mo and they don't,” Professor Tang said confidently.

“Tan Mo, I've already put your name on the exchange list. Tomorrow, you attend an exchange group and leave with other second-year students as part of the exchange.”

“Other competitions?” Tan Mo wanted to ask because he was a peaceful person and did not like competition.

“Not a competition.” Professor Tang laughed. “Only exchange to discuss and share ideas on historical subjects. You can discuss one on one, or you can also discuss in a small team. Of course, everyone will, in his own mind, compare what you know with what they know. So in an inconspicuous way, you will compete with students from other schools.”

He knew that before he said it. Tan Mo thought to himself, otherwise, the professor would not have asked him to attend the program.

“Professor, after all I am a student of the financial school, so is it appropriate for me to take part in activities like this from the history school?” Tan Mo chimed in again, in an attempt to change his mind.

“Continue? You were in the Treasury Department, but you attended the Ancient Text Competition last year." The professor wanted to flick Tan Mo's forehead in frustration. “How is what? In your heart, am I not as important as Professor Gu?”

“Of course. Of course.” Tan Mo waved his hand hurriedly and said, “I'm just afraid that Tsinghua's students will babble about it. That for an exchange between history school students, all of you should seek the help of a student from a finance school.”

Professor Tang took a breath for a moment.

What thing! He is really good at saying things that make him angry.

“Then move to history school, and everything will be fine. Isn't that a good idea?” Professor Tang wants him to transfer to history school, but Tan Mo doesn't want to.

Tan Mo was unsure how to respond. “....”.

The last time they had to go to Tsinghua for an exchange, but this year the exchange took place on their own campus, which was much more convenient.

The timing of the exchange happened to coincide with Tan Mo's financial class, so he had to request an absence.

Professor Tang took him to the exchange site himself.

There are not many students. Including Tan Mo, there were only 15 students.

After a while, Tsinghua exchange students arrived at Beijing University, brought to the exchange site by Master Hu of the Beijing Department of History.

As they walked, the Tsinghua students chatted without lowering their voices, as if they were not afraid that others would hear what they were saying.

“Last time, during the Ancient Text Competition, our school lost heavily. This time we were just discussing and brainstorming, but this was some kind of competition,” said Yang Guangyuan, a white-haired youth. He continued, “This time, we should reply them no matter what.”

“True, this time we have to make up for that defeat. Last time, we were outnumbered by a very large amount, and it was very embarrassing,” said a girl with a high ponytail. He wore round glasses, and his name was written on the name label on his neck: Hao Yidan.

“How can their language school compare to our history school? Our history school has always been ranked number one. Our history school is not like our language school. Sometimes the first, and sometimes the second. Their ratings are always changing,” said a boy named Qu Yuanqi.

On the road, they discussed all of this without lowering their voices, as if they were not afraid that others would hear what they were saying.

Master Hu listened as they discussed all of that without lowering their voices, without heeding the people around them, and he frowned.

Those Tsinghua disciples were very proud, Professor Hu thought to heart, each one of them.

So I guess it's not just Tsinghua students from the language school, but also from the history school, he thought.

“I heard that one of Professor Tang's students was hired as a history consultant for ‘Legenda Wei and Jin’. Who'sis that? Is that student here today?” said a boy next to Yang Guangyuan.

The boy's name was Luo Xiangwei, and he continued nonchalantly, “It's very boring to exchange ideas with a second-year student of Beijing University. They are not good enough to be exchanged for us. Talking about history with them will be of no use to us because they know almost nothing. But I'm interested in ‘Legenda Wei and Jin’'s history consultant. If there's a chance, I'd like to discuss history with that student.”

Master Hu looked towards the Tsinghua professor who led this exchange student.

Wouldn't he say something to his students? Professor Hu thought to himself again, those Tsinghua students are so full of themselves!

Beijing University and Tsinghua University have been competitors for a long time, and their students are also very competitive with each other. Personally, many of them say bad things about others. That's understandable.

But that's personally. It was fine to gossip like that in person, but they were currently on the campus of Beijing University. Isn't it too much for them to gossip about Beijing University students on the Beijing University campus?

These students have no character.

So what if they get good grades? Master Hu thinks in heart, character and good judgment are more important than good grades. Is it really okay for them to talk like that?

For some reason, all of Tsinghua's students seemed to have poor character and judgment.

Confidence is different from being disrespectful. Both are completely different.

Professor Tsinghua saw Master Hu's facial expression, but pretended not to see anything and continued walking as if he had heard nothing from his students.

Master Hu's face sank and he made a calm HMPH.

Then he heard Yang Guangyuan say, “What you said is true. I want to see that student too. The history consultant was great. I have also watched ‘Legend of Wei and Jin’, and I pay special attention to the details. Everything is done according to the correct historical context."

“Looking at how smooth the tv series was, I think the history consultant was from Professor Tang's team. I heard that he was a mentor to all of his research students, so maybe that student got help from him.”

Qu Yuanqi raised her voice and asked, “Teacher Hu, do you know who the historical consultant is for ‘Legenda Wei and Jin’? If that student has time today, can you invite him to come to the exchange event? I want to discuss ideas with him.”

Master Hu was a teacher from the history school, so of course he knew who he meant.

Tan Mo got two of the highest scholarships in part because of his work on “Legend of Wei and Jin”.

Once he was hired as a history consultant, word broke out in film circles by Director Liu, so everyone knew that Tan Mo was from Beijing University. Although the article did not mention who he was, everyone knew that he was one of Professor Tang's research students.

Beijing University is very proud of him.

It took two whole weeks for “Legend of Wei and Jin” to complete the airing, and every day of those two weeks, President Mu had a big smile on his face, he said, and now his face was even more wrinkled than before.

Master Hu was surprised. Tsinghua's students were rude, but they still wanted to exchange ideas with Tan Mo. If they knew that Tan Mo was one of those exchange disciples, he wondered what expression they would make.

He's already anticipated it.

Master Hu had a sly expression on his face. He said, “I'm not so sure. Professor Tang likes to keep things to himself, so he doesn't talk much about this. He didn't say, and we didn't ask.”

The Tsinghua students were suspicious.

“Teacher Hu, kaku is a history teacher at Beijing University, and you don't even know who is the history consultant of ‘Legenda Wei and Jin’?”

“After all it's not a big deal.” Master Hu smiled indifferently.

“Beijing University and its students and staff are rather modest. In addition, students at Beijing University are used to getting awards like this. For others, this might be a big deal, and they will boast about it wherever they go, but we are used to it, so we don't mind it.”
