Chapter 132 - Unbalanced

“Did you hear about those two distinguished professors. One wants Tan Mo to transfer to the Chinese Department, and the other wants her to transfer to the Department of History. They are quarreling over her. They said that Tan Mo being in the Department of Finance is a waste of her talent.

“What they mean is that if Tan Mo transfers, she can become a very important research talent for our country.”

“Professor Tang even said that Tan Mo’s college entrance examination essay provided a new way of thinking and direction for his research.”

“The essay wasn’t provided to them by Tan Mo. Professor Tang said that he had been studying the essay ever since he’d first read it. After studying it, he found that Tan Mo actually had a very profound understanding of the material, and she hadn’t happened to just come across such a discovery by chance.”

“So if Tan Mo transfers out of the Finance Department to the Chinese Department or the History Department, she will be a highly prioritized student and will be able to learn alongside the professor.”

“As for doing research assignments…” Someone deliberately glanced at Qin Murong and said, “She will be able to be involved in the most core research assignments, the kind with Brother Wu Xiaoye and Sister Wang Yuemu. Unlike some irrelevant students who only run errands…”

He was obviously referring to Qin Murong.

Wang Yuemu had already made it clear that she didn’t know Qin Murong.

Wu Xiaoye obviously didn’t take Qin Murong seriously.

If she’d really studied alongside the professor, even if they weren’t in the same department, they would have met up often, and Wang Yuemu and Wu Xiaoye would have been more polite to her.

Just like Wang Yuemu and Wu Xiaoye, who had been here to fight over Tan Mo today and were in a competitive relationship, although they dissed each other, they seemed more like old friends.

They were very familiar with each other.

This wasn’t the same as being completely unfamiliar as they had been with Qin Murong.

This showed that Qin Murong had just been bragging to Tan Mo.

However, she didn’t expect that right after boasting she would be slapped in the face.

Was this the young madame of the Qin family?

HMPH!

What a shame to the Qin family.

All the students looked down on Qin Murong now, and when they passed by her, they made no secret of their disdain.

Everyone here was academically outstanding, and everybody was smart.

They weren’t willing to bow down to anyone, much less an incapable person like Qin Murong.

“I wonder how Qin Murong got admitted to Beijing University?”

“Hey, I happen to know the answer to this,” someone said. “She got in through an art exam and by exploiting the loopholes in the admission policies and rules.”

“No wonder, since she doesn’t seem to be that intelligent.”

At this moment, Wei Keli was standing beside Qin Murong.

At least Wei Keli had gotten in based on true merit.

He was much better than Qin Murong.

Wei Keli looked at the expressions in the eyes of his classmates and suddenly felt angry.

He didn’t want to be used as a tool against Qin Murong.

He still wanted to befriend Qin Murong, so he doesn’t want Qin Murong to hate him because of this.

As the people moved away, Wei Keli said to Sister Murong, “Don’t pay attention to these people. They don’t understand anything. Moreover, I was admitted after a year that I had to repeat, so I’m not that outstanding…”

Qin Murong pursed her lips.

Wei Keli’s words were more like boasting.

Who said you were outstanding?

Had anyone said that?

Moreover, Wei Keli was admitted after repeating a year, but Tan Mo had been admitted at the age of 15.

Thinking about this made her feel even more unbalanced.

Wei Keli started thinking about the same thing. His expression hardened and suddenly he felt a little tongue-tied.

“Sister Murong, let’s go too,” Wei Keli said.

Qin Murong nodded.

Just then, Wei Keli received a WeChat message from Tan Mo.

Tan Mo said, “Brother Keli, this time I embarrassed Sister Murong. You should quickly belittle me in front of her, so that the relationship between the two of you will get better. As for the possibility of students gossiping, this will be a good thing. The more they say, the more firmly you should stand by Sister Murong’s side. This way, Sister Murong will value you even more. After all, you are giving her help in her hour of need.”

Wei Keli was moved. What Tan Mo said made sense.

While Qin Murong wasn’t paying attention, he replied to Tan Mo, saying, “I see, thank you, Mo Mo.”

Tan Mo raised her eyebrows when she received Wei Keli’s reply.

Green tea powers went to the next level when you were able to screw someone over and still have them thank you for it.

As soon as she left, she knew that Qin Murong would be shamed.

Academic stars were arrogant, so how could they stand someone as incompetent and pretentious as Qin Murong?

Of course they would have to throw shade at her.

Now, if Wei Keli helped her in her time of need, he would really develop a better relationship with her.

And the better his relationship with Qin Murong was, the worse his relationship with Wei Zhiqian would be.

After Tan Mo saw his reply, she forgot about him and went to the door of Professor Gu’s office with Wang Yuemu.

Wu Xiaoye followed them all the way and had no intention to leave.

He glanced at the time on his phone and estimated that Professor Tang should already be in Professor Gu’s office by now.

Wang Yuemu knocked on the door and heard Professor Gu’s voice inside, “Come in.”

Wang Yuemu opened the door and entered with Tan Mo.

She didn’t care if Wu Xiaoye followed.

Wu Xiaoye closed the door.

Sure enough, Professor Tang was also there.

“Tan Mo, have you thought about what we’ve said?” Professor Gu asked Tan Mo with a smile.

“Professor Gu, Professor Tang, I have to stay in the Department of Finance.” Seeing the two of them show regretful expressions and start to try to persuade her again, Tan Mo said, “I’m not ungrateful. If I was in another situation, since you two value me so much, I would definitely change majors without hesitation.”

She really didn’t like anything in particular anyway.

She doesn’t like finance that much either.

She just thought that no matter what she learned it would be the same.

Since studying finance would make things easier for her father and brothers, she had decided to study finance.

“Because of my family’s situation, I have to study finance,” Tan Mo explained.

“As far as I know, you have three older brothers. Your company has your three older brothers to support it.” Professor Tang had inquired about Tan Mo.

Of course he had to find out about the background of any student he likes in advance.

He knew that Tan Mo was doted on in the Tan family, and their company was medium-sized. Although they weren’t uber-rich, they were successful businessmen.

The children in the Tan family had a very good relationship.

They wouldn’t fight among themselves for control of the company.

Besides, even if they really were to fight, that would be between her three brothers. It wouldn’t involve Tan Mo.

Why was Tan Mo studying finance?

Could it be that she wanted to fight for control of the company as well?

Regardless of whether they were going to fight or not, it was still too early for Tan Mo to take over the company.

Tan Mo shook her head and said, “My three brothers have no intention of going into business. My oldest brother studies film directing, my second brother studies music, and my third brother studies art. From the three majors they study, you should also be able to see that their future career plans have nothing to do with business.”
