“If Tan Mo really comes to Shuang University and wins gold medal and honor for our school, you will regret it!” President Zhu said snappily.
President Mu didn’t care about what President Zhu said. He even said in a joyful voice, “Unfortunately, there are no ifs.”
President Zhu vowed that if this guy didn’t stop, he would quit the group chat right now! “Was it all about my absence that day?” he thought. Of course, he admitted that back then, he didn’t expect that Tan Mo was such an outstanding student. At that time, he thought that Tan Mo was just another student who was good at learning, but he didn’t know she was so talented and well-round.
It occurred to President Zhu that Mu had just said that Tan Mo had come up with many difficult math compet.i.tion questions for the students. How difficult were those questions? In fact, many of the students who signed up for the compet.i.tion were even unable to figure out the first step of a solution. However, Tan Mo could not only answer questions but also raise questions by herself, which he knew that President Mu would not go so far as to brag about.
President Zhu was not the only one who had noticed President Mu’s words. So did the other presidents.
President s.h.i.+ said, “So, you mean all the worksheets for the math compet.i.tion training were made by Tan Mo?”
President Mu replied, “That’s right.”
“But those are math compet.i.tion questions, not normal math exam questions.” President s.h.i.+ said in surprise, “I believe in you if you say that Tan Mo can come up with a normal math exam question. As for math compet.i.tion, not everyone can do that.”
President Mu said casually, “That’s why I say she is a talent.”
“Can you show me the questions that she came up with?” President s.h.i.+ raised his question after a short pause.
However, President Mu had achieved his goal. He just wanted to show off. But he wasn’t that stupid to show off the math compet.i.tion questions to others.
President Mu immediately became alert. “That won’t do.”
President s.h.i.+ asked, “What? Why? What’s wrong with that? Since those questions have been pa.s.sed on to the students, they will tell the truth to others sooner or later.”
“Well, we’ll talk about it after that happens.” President Mu was unmoved. “If I let you see the compet.i.tion questions now, won’t you become a strong compet.i.tor for us next year?”
President s.h.i.+ was speechless. He rolled his eyes and said, “Don’t flatter yourself, OK? Our school has already become your strong compet.i.tor.”
“Huh, to be honest with you, we have never seen you as a compet.i.tor.” With so great achievement Beijing University had made this year, President Mu kept on bragging. “Anyway, you guys can’t win. You’re used to being losers.”
President s.h.i.+ couldn’t help sneering. “Cut it out! No matter what achievement you’ve made, show me some respect. How could you be so arrogant to despise Hua University?”
“I’m not the one who said that. Do you know the student from your school? He ranked fifth in the mathematics department. And he told me that the mathematics department in your school can’t catch up with ours.” President Mu said with a chuckle, “After all, students have the right to make the best choices.”
“But don’t worry,” President Mu added. “Tan Mo has encouraged him. She told him not to be upset or discouraged. Although he is currently at Hua University, he still has some chances. In the future, he can still take the postgraduate entrance exam and come to Beijing University. Then, he’ll be able to join in all kinds of compet.i.tions. We’ll lead him to success.”
All the presidents kept silent. They surely knew what President Mu was talking about. It was a piece of news that everybody knew.
It was all about a bet. That student lost it, so he had no choice but to say Beijing University’s mathematics department was better.
Now, the students from all the schools were talking about him. They thought he was stupid. Why would he make such a bet with Tan Mo? n.o.body would win, which was for sure.
President s.h.i.+ took a few deep breaths and told himself not to lower himself to President Mu’s level. It would not be wise of him to get mad at him.
“You’ve only got one academic year. Soon Tan Mo will have to choose her graduate school. I’m not sure where she’ll go.” President s.h.i.+ said flatly.
“Oh, so you are still thinking about inviting Tan Mo to go to Hua University, right?” President Mu asked in a sarcastic tone of voice. After four years of getting along with Tan Mo, more or less, he knew what kind of persons Tan Mo was. Tan Mo was a girl who was grateful to the one who had helped her.
President Mu was sure that with the trust and support he and the professors had offered Tan Mo, she would choose to continue to study at Beijing University and would not go to other schools.
“Of course, it’ll be good news if she can come,” President s.h.i.+ said. “But I also understand that she has won too many compet.i.tions against our school on behalf of Beijing University. Maybe she would not get along well with the students in our school. So I guess it would probably be impossible for her to come to our school.
“By the way, I have never expected that she would choose Hua University as her graduate school.” President s.h.i.+ added. “But what I want to remind you is that there are so many famous international schools. Every year, students who perform well in math compet.i.tions will receive invitations from famous international schools. Such as Harvard, MIT, and so on. You know, we lose a lot of students every year. Of course, it’s a good thing that students can go there and learn more knowledge.” President s.h.i.+ said, “But I’m afraid that they won’t come back. In previous years, there were a lot of students who went abroad and didn’t come back.
“To be honest, those students who can go abroad are very outstanding in our school, and because of that, they take up most of the school’s teaching resources. Our schools spend a lot of teaching resources to train them. But In the end, it turns out someone else has taken them away from us.”
Hearing this, President Mu’s brows twitched. He said, “Even if Tan Mo goes abroad, she will come back. Because her family is all here. And like what you said earlier, Tan Mo is so outstanding and she did so well in ancient Chinese, history, and mathematics. But why did she choose finance? I’ll tell you what. She wants to inherit her family’s company in the future and support her three brothers’ careers.
“So, no matter what happens to her, she will come back, eventually.”
However, to be honest, President Mu couldn’t make sure that Tan Mo would come back if she went abroad one day.
As for Tan Mo, she didn’t know about the discussion between President Mu and the others. She was extremely nervous at the moment because it was time for her to tell her family about her relations.h.i.+p with Wei Zhiqian.
At this moment, Wei Zhiqian received a phone call, which was from Han Zhuoli.
Wei Zhiqian took his phone and went outside.
“h.e.l.lo? What happened? Can’t believe you even call me.” Wei Zhiqian answered the phone. Usually, they contacted each other through WeChat. As long as it wasn’t something urgent, they would talk about it with each other in the group chat. Therefore, it didn’t matter when the others would see the messages. They would see them sooner or later anyway. Everyone could reply after he made his decision.
But if one made a call, something urgent must have happened.
“Hanbang Corp has supported and cooperated with many well-known marketing promotion accounts. If there’s something related to us, they will inform us as soon as possible,” said Han Zhuoli.
“I know. And then?” Wei Zhiqian asked.
“Hanbang Corp has just received a set of photos. I sent you a WeChat message just now. I was afraid that you wouldn’t be able to see those photos in time, so I gave you this call.. Go and check the photos first, and then call me back.”
