Chapter 862 Interview
Of course, the biggest reason was that Professor Gu and Professor Tang refused to let her go.
They kept a close watch on Tan Mo. They were also on guard against people who wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h Tan Mo away and share the time with them.
Professor Yue had finally gotten them to agree. He only asked Tan Mo to help and did not officially join the research.
If someone else wanted to do it again, it would definitely not work.
He definitely could not let Tan Mo split her time again.
Therefore, Tan Mo only occasionally went to Professor Yue’s laboratory. In addition, Tan Mo now had the role of a professor, so Professor Yue knew Tan Mo was very busy. He had seen a genius being busy, but he had never seen anyone like Tan Mo, doing so many different things at the same time. She made use of every second of the day. Tan Mo clearly wasted no time in school.
She was busy doing work.
She did not have any time to relax.
She was indeed efficient, but it was also tiring. It made people feel like they could not last a day.
When Tan Mo was preparing to study for graduate school, President Mu strolled over.
Usually, if President Mu could not get away, he would let Tan Mo go to his office.
If President Mu was free, he would go straight to Tan Mo’s office, treating it as an exercise. Of course, it was the same for other teachers. “Tan Mo.” President Mu walked in.
“President Mu.” Tan Mo stood up.
President Mu raised his hand and gestured to her, “Sit, sit, sit. Why are you being so polite with me?”
President Mu did not stand on ceremony either. He moved a chair and sat beside Tan Mo’s desk, he said to Tan Mo: “Just now, a reporter from Capital News contacted the school and said that they wanted to look for you to do an interview. They wanted to spend a day with you at the school to see what you are doing. This is because everyone is very curious about the youngest lecturer at our Beijing University. They also heard that you have to carry out both Professor Tang’s and Professor Gu’s research tasks. At the same time, you are also a screenwriter. They are very curious about how you allocate time in a day.”
“What I mean is that I think this is a good opportunity. Our school has always treated you as an amba.s.sador, especially when it comes to recruiting students every year.” President Mu said.
“But you are famous for your traditional Chinese, History, and screenwriting. Everyone knows you through these three aspects. Therefore, the students who apply for you are mainly Liberal Arts candidates.” President Mu said, “Our school also hopes that the Liberal Arts and Science can be balanced as much as possible so that there won’t be a situation where we focus on one aspect.”
“Right now, we have a lot of talents in Liberal Arts, but we’re slightly lacking in the science subjects. It’s only about the same as the Hua University.” President Mu said.
Tan Mo: “…”
She really wanted President s.h.i.+ to listen to what President Mu was saying. Was what President Mu saying still humane?
What did he mean by it was only about the same as the Hua University.
y.
If President s.h.i.+ heard it, he would fight it out with President Mu.
If it was about the same as the Hua University, it would mean that the number of people who applied for Science would have been relatively lesser.
For example, Hua University was famous for its Science. The number of students who applied for the Liberal Arts at Hua University was not as many as the Science.
However, it was clear that President Mu was not satisfied.
He felt that it was better to have a balance between the Liberal Arts and the Sciences.
Moreover, the balance between the Liberal Arts and the Sciences he meant was naturally not a decrease in the number of Liberal Arts students.
Rather, it was an increase in the number of Science students.
However, because of Tan Mo, the number of Liberal Arts students increased exponentially. If the number of Science students was to be on par with the Liberal Arts students, or even to a similar degree, then the number of students needed would be relatively large.
The numbers could cause President s.h.i.+ to cry when he saw them.
President Mu was being disrespectful. If the numbers really increased, then Beijing University would truly be the number one university in China.
The battle between the two universities would come to an end here.
“So I thought that this interview would be a good opportunity.” President Mu said, “It’s a good opportunity for the reporters to take a picture of you teaching, solving problems for your students, and letting the Science students know about it. Then, do some good publicity. You’re the gold medal winner of S.-T. Yau College Student Mathematics Contest. You’re also teaching mathematics here. Students who have applied for the Mathematics department at Beijing University can learn Mathematics from you.”
“In addition, with the publicity from the Capital News, the number of students will definitely improve.” President Mu rubbed his hands, “How is it? Can you let the reporters follow you around for a day?” “Only in the school?” Tan Mo asked.
She did not want to be followed outside the school.
“Only in the school.” President Mu guaranteed, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely confirm with the other party that they can only take pictures within the school.”
“Outside the school is your private time. I won’t let the other party take pictures. I won’t even let them follow you.” President Mu guaranteed.
Tan Mo nodded, “If they only take pictures inside the school, I won’t have a problem. I can also take them to a few laboratories to take a look. Maybe I can even attract a lot of sponsors.”
“That’s a good idea.” President Mu had already rubbed his chin and started to think, “I’ll plan this properly. I’ll let you know when the time comes.”
President Mu’s mind was now filled with how to use this opportunity to properly promote and attract more geniuses and top students, and how to attract more social sponsors.
He simply could not stay in Tan Mo’s office anymore.
He hurriedly said, “I’ll be leaving first.” Then, he quickly walked out of Tan Mo’s office.
He went back to his office to think of ways to recruit more students and attract more sponsors for the school.
Very quickly, the time for the interview was set for this Friday.
It was specially chosen when Tan Mo had a lecture.
The reporter contacted Tan Mo and sent the interview outline to her for her to confirm. She deleted some questions that she felt were not easy to answer and sent them back to the reporter to confirm the final version.
It also allowed Tan Mo to think about how to answer these questions in advance. Of course, these questions would not be answered in one seating.
It would be asked in a casual manner when Tan Mo brought this reporter around the campus.
In addition, the reporter also sent Tan Mo the event flow of the day.
According to Tan Mo’s study and lecture time, to arrange for the interview. Let Tan Mo familiarize herself with it in advance.
During the communication process between Tan Mo and the reporter, she found that this was actually quite similar to filming.
There was a pre-arranged outline and everything was discussed.
If it was not good enough, they could reshoot
it.
The post-editing would be fine.
On Friday, Professor Yao came over with a group of reporters.
There were quite a lot of people on the team.
One reporter and one who was in charge of organizing the script and giving hints. There were also two a.s.sistants and a makeup artist who would fix the reporter’s makeup and hair at any time.
A photographer, and a photographer’s a.s.sistant.
This reporter was quite famous.
