Chapter 833 - Her? The God of Mathematics?

“Even if Tan Mo were to solve it, would they be able to understand it? What they’re looking for is not within the scope of their current expertise.” Associate Professor Yang got angry when he remembered that incident, “Won’t Tan Mo’s time still be wasted in the end?”

“She’s a precious talent in our school. How could her time be wasted so frivolously? Her time that had been wasted by the students could have been used for her to rest well, right? If she isn’t tired, then she could participate in more of the professors’ research, right? How could all that be wasted so easily just because of the ignorance of those students?”.

Principal Mu nodded. “I really didn’t know about this.”

“The matter of the students directing questions at Tan Mo only happened two nights ago. Today, Tan Mo answered two of those questions in class, embarrassing those selfish and ignorant students. But I just found out about it today.” This matter couldn’t be blamed on Principal Mu.

Speaking of the day before yesterday, Principal Mu had already known. Because it was Tan Mo’s first day of teaching, Principal Mu had paid special attention to it and had even requested for Tan Mo’s class schedule.

He knew it had been that first class the day before.

In other words, after the class had ended, those students had began to look for questions to make things difficult for Tan Mo.

And yesterday, Tan Mo didn’t have any classes.

That was why she had only told the students about the answers during class today. “Anyway, what I mean is that Tan Mo is a talent of our school. There’s no need to make her suffer among the freshmen. There are many students who want her to teach them.” Associate Professor Yang said in the end, “If Tan Mo were to get emotionally hurt because of this and other schools were to take advantage of it… Especially the neighboring Hua University, even though they always scold Tan Mo behind her back. But if we were to really give them a chance to invite Tan Mo to their school, do you think they will want it?”

Principal Mu: “…”

He suddenly felt that it was very dangerous.

“It won’t be good to rashly decide on my own here. After all, this concerns the entire Math Department,” Principal Mu said, “Even if Tan Mo doesn’t teach freshmen anymore, we still have to discuss which grade to let her teach. Also, we have to have a meeting to discuss who will teach the freshmen.”

Associate Professor Yang nodded.

“This matter has to be settled as soon as possible,” said Associate Professor Yang.

Principal Mu nodded and said, “Let’s have a meeting in the afternoon.”

He immediately called his assistant in and let him make the arrangements.

Li Guangyi and the others were still thinking about how to test Tan Mo.

It was impossible to deliberately search for difficult problems.

“I’m worried that Tan Mo will really go to the school to nominate us. When it gets revealed that we’re not who we seem to be, it’ll become really embarrassing,” said He Qishan.

“Tan Mo should have a good relationship with the school. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have become an assistant teacher right away. When the time comes, the school will definitely take her seriously if she were to nominate us,” said Li Guangyi somberly.

“What should we do now?” Asked Ling Xinxing.

“Let’s wait and see.” Li Guangyi sighed and said energetically, “By the way, a classmate of mine will be coming to see me later. He got into Hua University. Do you guys want to meet him? He’s also in the Mathematics Department. It’s a good opportunity for us to exchange ideas.”

“Okay.” Wang Haifeng was very interested. “I heard that Hua’s Mathematics Department is also quite good. I also want to exchange ideas and see the gap between us.” Fang Huihui said hopefully, “Speaking of which, it would be great if we could sit in and experience a class in Hua University. The teaching methods of the two schools will definitely be different from each other. I wonder what the atmosphere is like over there.”

Li Guangyi sneered and said, “I don’t know how it’s like over there, but I know that they definitely wouldn’t let a student who just entered graduate school become a teaching assistant.”

When everyone heard this, they fell silent again.

When he was saying that, Li Guangyi’s classmate also arrived.

They went to the entrance to pick up his friend

They didn’t expect Li Guangyi’s friend to bring along two classmates as well.

Li Guangyi’s classmate was a boy. He was dark and tall, a little too thin.

He was wearing thin clothes on such a day, too.

Through the clothes, his classmate’s clear and prominent bones could be seen.

“Let me introduce everyone. This is my junior high school classmate, Hou Haihua,” Li Guangyi said and introduced his classmates at Jing University one by one.

Hou Haihua was the tanned and thin boy.

He greeted everyone and said, “The three of them are from the same dormitory as me. They are also from the Mathematics Department. When they heard that I was coming to Jing University to look for my friend, they insisted on coming. They wanted to come to Jing university to have a look.”

Hou Haihua also introduced his roommates.

A boy with a small pull on the back of his head was called Cheng Zixin.

The boy wearing black-rimmed glasses was called He Jiaying. The other boy with a wolf-tail hairstyle was called Zhu Shanglei.

“Welcome!” Li Guangyi and the others said enthusiastically.

“Actually, they mainly wanted to see if they could meet Tan Mo here,” Hou Haihua said. “By the way, have you met her?”

Li Guangyi and the others looked at each other, after which Li asked in confusion, “Why do you want to see Tan Mo?”

“Yeah, why do you guys from the Math Department want to see her?” Fang Huihui also asked.

This was the main entrance, and there were many people coming and going. The traffic outside was noisy, so it was not suitable for chatting He Qishan said, “Let’s go inside first. It’s your first time here. Let’s walk around the campus. When we’re tired, we’ll find a coffee shop on campus to rest or you can try our school’s cafeteria at noon.”

“Yes, let’s talk while walking,” Li Guangyi responded.

The more they walked into the campus, the fewer people there were, and the better it was to chat.

Li Guangyi then asked the question from the beginning

Hou Haihua said in surprise, “Tan Mo is a Math God, and that’s what we’re studying, so we wanted to come and have a look.”

“Her? A Math God?” Li Guangyi and the others said in unison, their faces full of surprise.

Seeing their reactions, Hou Haihua and the other three were even more surprised. Hou Haihua said in puzzlement, “You guys actually didn’t know?”

Fang Huihui said hesitantly, “It’s true that she’s studying math now, but when she was an undergraduate, didn’t she study finance? How did she become a Math God? But if it was after she finished graduate school… But she also just finished graduate school, how did she suddenly become a Math God?”

“You guys really don’t know?” Hou Haihua laughed.

He had just entered Hua University, and did not feel a sense of belonging that made him want to share the weal and woes along with the school just yet.

He was not like the older students of Hua University, who changed their expressions when they heard Tan Mo, and even avoided talking about it. When they talked about it, they also gritted their teeth, wishing that there was no such person in the capital. The freshmen on the other hand were more curious about Tan Mo…

They felt that Tan Mo was really a legend.

How could there be such an awesome person?

“We just entered the school, so we really don’t know,” Li Guangyi urged. “Don’t keep us in suspense. Quickly tell us about it.”

Hou Haihua smiled and said, “You guys should know about the S.-T. Yau College Student Mathematics Contest, right?”
