“We were busy with the college entrance exam in the past, so we didn’t have the time to think in depth about these other things. We only got to know all about it after we entered university,” Hou Haihua said, “That’s why we didn’t understand it before, but now that we entered university, although the competitive pressure is still great, our homework is indeed not as tight as it was when we were preparing for the college entrance exam in the past. Also, besides studying, we also have to get in touch with some social practical activities as well as these various competitions. It’s important to still pay attention to some of them.”
“We do know that.” Li Guangyi nodded. “I was thinking of signing up for it when I’m in my third or fourth year.”
He was quite self-aware of this.
It would be great if he could get a medal. But if he couldn’t, he could take it as an experience to know where his ability was.
“Then how could you not know that Tan Mo was the full-score, gold medal winner of all five categories in the S.-T. Yau College Student Mathematics Contest!?” Hou Haihua said, “She could be said to be the first person in history. No one has ever gotten all five gold medals, let alone in the form of a full score.”
“In the past, even if the contestants got gold medals, they might not have gotten a full score. It just meant that they were the first in their scores. Only Tan Mo got a full score in all five categories!” Hou said excitedly.
“Moreover, your school obtained very good results in the competition last time. Whether it was the number of medals or the number of gold, silver, and bronze medals, they were all more than Hua’s. It was all because Tan Mo gave out questions to everyone as preparation for the competition. They were all doing the same questions. Although the questions were not completely accurate and the questions were not exactly the same, they were similar. The accuracy rate was very high!” Zhu Shanglei said.
“Was she really that amazing?” He Qishan was skeptical.
“Your President Mu said so himself. All our seniors who participated in the competition heard it,” Cheng Zixin said.
“Moreover, Tan Mo also rejected an invitation from Hamil University,” He Jiaying said in admiration, “That’s Hamil University, the number one university in the world! It was simply because of the arrogant attitude of their recruitment representative. Even when he invited an award-winning student to join them, he still treated her as if she were nothing. Tan Mo was very dissatisfied and so directly rejected the invitation from their school.”
“Our seniors from Hua University all readily agreed to the offers as long as they were invited, not only from Hamil University, but also fromother famous universities. Only for Jing University, the other students also followed Tan Mo because of her attitude and rejected the invitations of those famous universities,” He Jiaying said.
“What’s more, I also heard that Tan Mo directly called Hamil University and complained about that student recruitment representative. Hamil University learned that they had lost a genius student like Tan Mo because of the representative’s attitude, so they directly transferred the guy to another position.” Hou Haihua looked at everyone’s shocked expressions.
“Don’t tell me you didn’t know how awesome Tan Mo is!” Hou looked at Li Guangyi and the others and felt that it was a waste for them to not be aware of the treasure mountain they were on!
It was heartbreaking!
“But… But wasn’t she from the Finance Department?” That was all Fang Huihui remembered.
“It’s true that she studied finance when she was an undergraduate, but at the same time, she is also a god of Ancient Chinese, a god of History, and the screenwriter of ‘The Legend of Wei Jin’ and ‘The Broken Continent’. All of these have nothing to do with the Finance Department. So what’s strange about her being good at Math?” Hou asked back.
However, they were ultimately not from Jing University. They only knew about Tan Mo from their seniors in Hua University.
They did not know that other than all that, Tan Mo was also a member of Professor Yue’s team in aerospace engineering.
But even without this, what Hou Haihua had said was enough to shock Li Guangyi and the others.
S en
“We… We didn’t know about this.” Wang Haifeng was so shocked that his voice lowered, as if he were talking to himself.
“This is strange. We are in Hua University and have all heard about Tan Mo… You should have known about it more in Jing University,” Hou Haihua said strangely. Li Guangyi and the others looked at each other and had a hunch in their hearts.
It was those senior students who had deliberately hidden it from them.
They had just watched them do what they had done, wanting them to drive Tan Mo away, and then have her teach themselves.
However, there were so many people in the whole university.
Even if they were to only get the people from the Mathematics Department out, there were still quite a lot them.
Not to mention that there were so many people in the entire school from other departments and majors, who all knew about Tan Mo.
Yet, not a single one of them had let the cat out of the bag.
Those people were all a little too united!
“We really didn’t know, but now that you’ve mentioned it, we got it.” Of course, it was hard for Li Guangyi to say that it was because their seniors wanted to snatch Tan Mo away for their own grade, so they had deliberately hidden it from them. This would inevitably involve the stupid things they had done.
Hou Haihua was extremely curious. Why on earth were Li and the others kept in the dark?
If it was said that one person didn’t know, it could be said that his information was limited. He didn’t interact with many people and didn’t have many channels of information, so he wasn’t well-informed.
But now, it was obviously not just one or two people who were being kept out of the loop. Li had several friends. It couldn’t be that everyone’s information was limited, right? If they really didn’t have any information channels and didn’t interact with others, they wouldn’t be able to form a group with each other, right?
The fact that they could form such a small group at the beginning of the school year showed that these people were at the very least good at communicating and scheming.
But no matter how he asked, Li didn’t say anything, and neither did the others.
Hou Haihua had no choice.
At noon, Li invited Hou and the people from their dormitory to have a meal in the cafeteria.
This made Hou quite embarrassed and insisted that Li bring his friends to their school next time. They would be good hosts.
Even before he left, Hou still told Li that he must go to Hua University to hang out.
After sending Hou off, Li and the others immediately had a small meeting. “If it’s really like what Hou Haihua and the others said, then Tan Mo is really qualified to teach us,” said Ling Xinxing. “We can’t just listen to Hou Haihua and the others. After all, they are from Hua University. Even if he heard all that from his seniors, we don’t know how many times it’s been passed around,” Li Guangyi said cautiously, “Moreover, if the matters of our school were to be spread to their school, we also wouldn’t know how much of it would been exaggerated.”
“After spreading it around more, it’ll be even harder to say how much of it is true,” Li said with assurance.
The others hesitated for a moment before nodding slowly. They couldn’t say that Li was wrong.
“But we saw it yesterday. The seniors in the sophomore year to the graduate students were all fighting over Tan Mo.” He Qishan frowned. “This was exactly what Hou Haihua and the others had said.”
