He's done with them. Do they think only they know how to be rude and too arrogant?
Although he had no desire to confront them, he could definitely say some things to make them feel small.
It was as he expected. After hearing what he said, the Tsinghua students looked embarrassed on their faces.
Professor Tsinghua even turned to look at Master Hu. He wondered to himself why Master Hu had suddenly become so grumpy.
Is it because of their history consultant?
Master Hu raised his head high and proud and thought to himself that he would not tell them that the historical consultant of “Legenda Wei and Jin” was Tan Mo.
Aren't those Tsinghua students too proud? Ha! Let them embarrass themselves!
After a short exchange between Tsinghua students and Master Hu, they arrived on site for an on-campus exchange program.
The two teams are here to brainstorm, so they shake hands and introduce themselves to each other.
Tan Mo trailed behind a group of Beijing University students, and he was hidden by the crowd.
Soon other Beijing University students finished introducing themselves, and it was Tan Mo's turn to introduce himself.
The Tsinghua students looked at Tan Mo: “..”.
They all fell silent for a moment.
It was dead silence.
It was an awkward silence, like an unexpected encounter between enemies.
Everyone in Tsinghua knew Tan Mo, because he was the common enemy of all of them. During the Ancient Text Competition, Tan Mo was the one who—alone— had defeated the entire Tsinghua team.
So even though they were not from the language school, they recognized Tan Mo's face. In fact, it was more than that; they were very familiar with his face.
The competition was a huge defeat, and a great shame for every fighter and every student of Tsinghua.
Those Tsinghua warriors were not even ordinary students of the language school. Each of them has been at the top of their class, and they represent the best of the entire school. Those students were the top ten in the entire language school of Tsinghua.
And they had been defeated by Tan Mo alone, and it was extremely humiliating.
They are not even in the same league. Tan Mo had fooled them as he pleased, just because he could; just because he was so much better than them.
It was as if ..he had controlled the entire competition. Those Tsinghua warriors could only answer the questions he allowed them to answer. If he didn't like it, then they wouldn't even have the chance to press the answer button.
So every student from Tsinghua, regardless of which school they came from, recognized Tan Mo and considered him a common enemy.
Since that competition, Tan Mo became the most hated student of Beijing University by Tsinghua— students with no exception.
Especially the Tsinghua students from the financial school.Knowing that Tan Mo is in financial school, they all are eager to compete with him, hoping they have a chance to get back at him.
Tan Mo had given them all a hard slap in the face, and they wanted to return one to him.
The Tsinghua students who had come for the exchange program had not expected to meet him here. Why is Tan Mo everywhere? They hit him wherever they went.
“What's up?” Tan Mo asked, with an innocent expression on his face.
Why are they all looking at him like that? It was as if he had slapped their faces ... as if he was their enemy?
Their faces are very pale.
Tan Mo turned to the history professor with an innocent expression on his face.
“I haven't done anything yet,” Tan Mo explained. “I haven't even said anything.”
He is a peaceful man.
“I'm here to discuss and exchange ideas.” Tan Mo was confused as to why he chose it.
Why would he ask her that?
Of course he was here as part of an exchange program.. Do they think he was bored enough to stop by here to see what happened?
“Aren't you from financial school?” Hao Yidan asked him in a high voice.
“Although I am from financial school, I am interested in history, so I came here to discuss and exchange ideas and to study,” Tan Mo said with a smile on his face.
“Beijing University has a pretty strange practice,” Qu Yuanqi said in a mocking tone with a laugh.
“You are a student of a financial school, but previously you were sent as a representative of the language school for the Ancient Text Competition, and now you meet us as part of an exchange program between history schools. Is it because there is nothing better in Beijing University history school? They have to ask for help from someone in financial school?”
Tan Mo blinked his eyes innocently and thought, Professor Tang must be good at keeping him busy.
He sighed to himself and then said, “I disagree with what you just said. I'm not sure how it is in Tsinghua. Are the schools in Tsinghua so separate that the students in different schools do not interact with each other? For me it was like separation.”
“So what all of you at Tsinghua think is: this is a program belonging to a history school, so no one outside the history school can join this program. This is the knowledge that the history school has, so no one outside the history school can learn this knowledge?” Tan Mo asked, his eyes widening as if in shock.
Then he took a few steps back to express his astonishment and turned to the history professor from Beijing University and exclaimed, “Tsinghua is a very strict university!”
His face seemed to say, Tsinghua is so scary!
The professors of Beijing University did not say anything …
The professors thought to themselves, You are the one who fears. You just gave them all a hard slap in the face!
After slapping those from the Tsinghua language school, it was now their turn to come from the Tsinghua history school.
But.. Nice work!
“Of course it's not like that!” Luo Xiangwei was furious. The girl had a very annoying voice, and she was very good at manipulating logic. With his mouth, he could persuade them to believe that the white man was black.
“At Tsinghua University..” Luo Xiangwei begins to explain.
But Tan Mo wouldn't give him a chance to explain.
“Beijing University is different from Tsinghua,” Tan Mo said. “We are a very inclusive university, no matter which school the students come from, we are all considered as peers. If someone from another school joins our school activities because he wants to learn something, then we always welcome him. Just like me, even though I was from financial school, I was interested in language and history, so Professor Gu and Professor Tang allowed me to join their research team, and listen to their lecture.”
Um, maybe he should change that order…
But anyway, that detail is not so important.
“No matter which school they come from, they are students of Beijing University. No matter which school holds the activity, if the student wants, then the student can attend the activity,” Tan Mo said with a smile. He continued, “I'm interested in history, so I attended Professor Tang's lecture in addition to self-study some materials. And Professor Tang told me about this exchange program and I asked him if I could attend. He allowed me to come here as part of the team from Beijing University. Professor Tang knew that I was from financial school, but seeing that I had a great interest in history, he praised me for being a student. And he told me back then that I could join the exchange program.”
It's a good thing Professor Tang isn't here, he thought to himself.
If he was here, he would shake his head! I never said that! That lazy girl! It would be nice if he really likes to study and attend his lectures.
“Actually I was a little worried, because I wasn't from history school anyway. I was worried that I would drag my teammates down because I did not study this material as systematically as they did.” Tan Mo had an amazed expression on his face as he spoke of Professor Tang.
“But Professor Tang told me that it was fine. He told me that all the students here were second-year students, and they only had one year of experience in those subjects. Even if they were kind, how could they possibly be better than him? He hasn't even complained about the professor at Tsinghua. It would be very strange if Tsinghua students complain about students from financial schools.”
The Tsinghua students think inwardly: “..”.
Why did you bring professor Tsinghua into this?
“Also, he told me that this was a relatively ordinary exchange. Beijing University did not take issue with this exchange program, and they did not even do formal auditions or anything like that. They got a list of history students and randomly selected 15 students. After all, we have many other activities and opportunities at Beijing University. Everyone will have a chance. Even if they cannot attend one activity, they can attend several other activities. Everyone takes turns, and everyone gets a turn! The most important thing is to learn and improve and acquire more knowledge. Win or lose is not the main goal.”
He didn't say it directly, but they all heard it from what he said: it's true that Beijing University students have lost in the past, but that's not because their best students aren't good. It was because Beijing University did not send their best students here.
The Beijing University faculty and students just stood there and listened to Tan Mo as he raved and made up stuff along the way.
