Chapter 276: Let Me Buy Oranges for You
Professors Zhao and Guo’s words sparked a strong reaction from the online netizens.
Because of this, they received many invitations for interviews.
These two experienced professors had always been immersed in pedagogy and rarely accepted interviews from the media.
They did not have any desire to be famous.
Of course, even if it wasn’t their intention, they were already very well known.
However, they usually avoided interviews whenever they could.
However, they had agreed readily to the interviews this time.
Similarly to President Mu’s method, they had separately tasked Wu Xiaoye and Wang Yuemu with the organization of the questions from the reporters.
They then recorded videos themselves and sent them to the reporters.
They were extremely efficient.
The netizens really had not expected both professors to have such a high opinion of Tan Mo.
At first, they’d thought that Tan Mo was the mentee of both professors in only one class.
Which was already shocking…
They didn’t expect what both professors had said, which was even more shocking.
To think that Tan Mo could memorize so many difficult history books.
And at the same time, she became the champion of the Ancient Text Competition.
It is precisely because Tan Mo had a strong and solid foundation in the ancient texts that she could read and understand the essence of them.
But it is too shocking that she could also memorize the books.
Is this really something that could be done by humans?
However, it is impossible that Professor Zhao would lie.
The same goes for Professor Guo.
Even Professor Guo said that he did not see Tan Mo as a student, but as someone who he could discuss his subject with.
What is going on with this Tan Mo?
She is only 17 years old.
Can a person be a genius to such an extent?
The interview of the professors wasn’t long. After editing, the total time was very short.
The total time was only one minute and 58 seconds.
After their interview came the interview of students from Beijing University.
Student A from Beijing University’s History Department: “Tan Mo is the pride of Beijing University.”
Student B from Beijing University’s History Department: “There has always been a tradition in the History Department of Beijing University and Tsinghua University, of organizing an event for sophomore History students to have an exchange of their knowledge. The students from Tsinghua University had been holding a grudge ever since Tan Mo had crushed them during the Ancient Text Competition. They had tried to create trouble for the exchange event in order to beat Beijing University, and, in the end, they were crushed again by Tan Mo alone!”
Student C from Beijing University’s History Department: “That’s right! I happen to know the students who were there. Wait, I will call them over here for you!”
The netizens: “……”
To think that elite students act like this.
After they’d said that they would call the person over, then they turned around and left?
After running two steps, the student even turned around to instruct the reporter, “Wait here, you must not leave!”
A netizen was quite mean and commented online, “Let me buy oranges for you.”
Tan Mo did not expect that the student being called over was Song Mingqi.
Song Mingqi: “At the exchange, the students from Tsinghua University even removed the beginning and end of the excerpts from the texts of ‘Twenty-four Histories’, but Tan Mo was able to recite it all. Tan Mo even asked them to pick any book from the library. She said it was all right if they were not able to understand it, if they can read it, Tan Mo will concede defeat if she is unable to recite it. In the end those students did not dare to do so and left with their tails between their legs.”
Student A from Beijing University’s Language Department: “During the Ancient Text Competition, the screen in the school square was showing the live footage and it was exhilarating! To win that time, Tsinghua University had thought of all kinds of tricks In the end, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee! Tan Mo was alone on stage and was not kicked off at all! She really was the gate that kept them all out!”
Student B from Beijing University’s Language Department: “Tan Mo even left them with some dignity. For every round of ten questions, Tan Mo could answer them correctly. However, because she saw that they had never managed to answer any questions, she just left the last question to them, yet they still didn’t know how to answer it and Tan Mo had to answer instead. It was really useless to give them a chance!”
Student C from Beijing University’s Language Department: “I recommend everyone who has never watched that live footage to search for it online. There are many videos of the competition. If you watch it, you will know how incredible Tan Mo was.”
However, it was a different interview situation at Tsinghua University.
Student A from Tsinghua University’s Language Department: “Tan Mo? We will eventually beat her, hurrah!”
Student B from Tsinghua University’s Language Department: “Didn’t Beijing University rely on Tan Mo to win the competition this time? When Tan Mo graduates, let’s see how much longer they can defeat us for.”
Student C from Tsinghua University’s Language Department: “If they are truly capable, then don’t send Tan Mo to compete!”
Student A from Tsinghua University’s History Department: “I do not want to say anything.”
Student B from Tsinghua University’s History Department: “It is not convenient. It is not a good time for me now.”
Student C from Tsinghua University’s History Department: “Tan Mo?” What is your intention in mentioning Tan Mo in our school? Are you doing this on purpose?”
Although the students of Tsinghua University did not have good things to say when Tan Mo was mentioned, it was enough to tell from their interviews that they were fearful of her.
The netizens were enjoying the content and got curious one after another about what exactly Tan Mo had done to the students of Tsinghua University.
Whatever they’d done that the students gritted their teeth when someone mentioned Tan Mo.
It seems it’s not even all right to mention Tan Mo’s name on the Tsinghua University campus.
Wouldn’t the two words “Tan Mo” be banned in Tsinghua University soon?
Just how much damage did she cause to the students of Tsinghua University?
A netizen commented, “Could it be that Tan Mo is the devil?”
“Tan Mo, what exactly did you do to the elite students of Tsinghua University?”
“I do not doubt Tan Mo’s capabilities at all now. Who is able to have the ability to do it like Tan Mo did? She even caused trauma to the students of Tsinghua University.”
“And she caused trauma with her actual abilities. Although I do not know how capable Tan Mo is specifically, I have started to feel scared.”
“To tell you the truth, I have already found the legendary videos of the Ancient Text competition. In the end my mother asked why I was kneeling while watching the videos.”
“I also watched it! I could feel the desperation of Tsinghua University’s elite students from the other side of the screen.”
“The key is, that was when Tan Mo was in her first year. While Tan Mo’s opponents were a group of PhD students!”
“I am now almost brainwashed by Tan Mo’s expression, ‘Will you do your best’?”
“Pardon my candor, but it was hilarious. In the beginning, Tan Mo even left the last question for them to answer, although they were not able to do it. However Tan Mo was angry later, and Tsinghua University’s students were not even able to have the last question. This feeling…is f*cking cool!”
“Tan Mo is living like the female lead of those legendary smooth-sailing novels! She is too amazing.”
“The funniest thing is that the students of Tsinghua University obviously wanted to be like Tan Mo. It didn’t matter if they knew the answer or not, they wanted to be first to grab the chance to answer the question. However, even if that were the case, they still could not beat Tan Mo. How pitiful!”
“They key is, it was obvious that Tan Mo was bluffing them! Tan Mo was not about getting the question first regardless if she knew the answer or not. Rather, she had the confidence to answer regardless of the question.”
“Oh, my god, I am going to watch the videos too after hearing how exciting all of you have made them out to be.”
“Go and watch. After you are done, you will become Tan Mo’s fan.”
