Chapter 131: When Did the Position of Protege Become So Easily Attainable?
Qin Murong’s face had become livid.
What was the deal with these two people?
From what they said, one had been sent by Professor Gu and the other by Professor Tang?
These two famous professors’ direct disciples had come to find Tan Mo in person.
Wasn’t Tan Mo in the finance department?
What do they want with her?
Wu Xiaoye was afraid that Tan Mo was going to be abducted by Wang Yuemu, so he quickly asked, “Tan Mo, what do you want to eat for lunch? I will buy it for you.”
“Brother Wu, Sister Wang…” Tan Mo exclaimed.
Since she doesn’t plan to change majors, she shouldn’t keep Professor Gu and Professor Tang in suspense and give false hope to the two old professors.
It was better to make it clear as soon as possible.
“Thank you for coming to see me specially and for inviting me for a meal,” Tan Mo said. “You two were sent by Professor Gu and Professor Tang, right?”
“My teacher was worried that if he came to you directly, it would make you uncomfortable,” Wu Xiaoye admitted as he scratched his head. He looked very honest.
Wang Yuemu: “…”
“Come on, stop pretending. Who would believe you?” Wang Yuemu mercilessly exposed him.
Wu Xiaoye: “…”
Tan Mo even nodded.
Wu Xiaoye: “…”
Okay, his acting had failed.
Wu Xiaoye acted like nothing had happened and continued speaking without changing his expression. “So he had me come over to familiarize you with me first, and, at the same time, to let you understand our learning environment here and understand how our department’s upperclassmen are. After you became familiar with us, you wouldn’t be so nervous.
“You are the youngest one of us, so we will definitely take care of you,” Wu Xiaoye promised.
Unwilling to be left behind, Wang Yuemu said, “Professor Gu also wanted to do this. Don’t worry, our learning environment is very good. There will never be anyone harassing you. If anyone harasses you, there will be upperclassmen to help you out. We won’t bully you just because you are young. On the contrary, you are the youngest, our little sister, so we will protect you.
“We will never disregard your academic views because you are young. We all know that these cannot be measured by age. We will learn from each other and make progress together.”
Wu Xiaoye hurriedly said, “The same with us.”
“I am very grateful to you both for telling me this and not treating me as a child. However, I chose the Department of Finance for a reason.” Tan Mo thought about it and said, “I wonder when Professor Tang and Professor Gu have time? I would like to explain it to the two professors myself.
“It is an honor for the two professors to hold me in such high regard. But for personal reasons, I can only let them down. Out of gratitude to the two professors, I think I should explain it personally to be sincere,” Tan Mo said earnestly.
Professor Tang and Professor Gu had gone to find her personally, and now, in order to make her feel more comfortable, they had sent their own proteges to help her get to know more people.
Tan Mo will keep this favor in mind.
Wang Yuemu’s eyes lit up.
She didn’t care whether Tan Mo agreed or refused as long as she was willing to see Professor Gu first.
Her task here was accomplished, and whether their department can win Tan Mo over will depend on Professor Gu’s abilities.
“Let’s go, Professor Gu is in his office,” Wang Yuemu pulled Tan Mo by the arm and left.
Tan Mo was stunned and said, “Professor Gu doesn’t eat lunch? Don’t bother his rest.”
“It’s okay, Professor Gu doesn’t like the crowded cafeteria, so he asks his assistant to go to the cafeteria and bring his lunch back.” Wang Yuemu understood his habits very well. “He should have finished eating by now.”
If none of this had happened, Tan Mo would have finished eating Xinjiang stir-fried rice noodles in the cafeteria by now.
But Qin Murong had stopped her, then Wu Xiaoye and Wang Yuemu had babbled on for a long time.
More than half an hour had passed in the blink of an eye.
Wang Yuemu led Tan Mo away.
Right after turning around and walking a few steps forward, Wang Yuemu suddenly stopped and then turned around and said to Qin Murong, “There won’t be a need for you to recommend Tan Mo. As long as Tan Mo is willing, she can be Professor Gu’s sole protege.”
Although she was straightforward, it wasn’t like she couldn’t discern Qin Murong’s ulterior motives.
She’s forthright, but she’s not stupid.
“Professor Tang says so too,” Wu Xiaoye was determined not to fall behind. “Tan Mo can be his sole protege.”
Wu Xiaoye was more direct than Wang Yuemu, and he said, “As someone who only runs errands, you should focus on improving yourself first. You’re still running errands, yet you want to recommend her?”
Wu Xiaoye was more sharp-witted than Wang Yuemu.
This amount of time had been enough for him to see that Tan Mo and Qin Murong had an unusual relationship.
Tan Mo obviously despised Qin Murong.
Since this was the case, then he doesn’t have to be polite to Qin Murong.
The most important thing now is to make Tan Mo happy.
If Tan Mo is pleased, she might join the Department of History. This would be better than anything else.
As for offending Qin Murong, he isn’t afraid of her.
As soon as Wu Xiaoye finished speaking, he saw Wang Yuemu leave with Tan Mo.
Wu Xiaoye said, “Sh*t”. Who said that Wang Yuemu wasn’t sharp-witted?
To him, she was very sharp-witted.
She even took advantage of his momentary distraction to drag Tan Mo away.
Wu Xiaoye hurriedly followed behind them while calling Professor Tang. “Professor Tang, Tan Mo is going to see Professor Gu.”
Needless to say, this sentence was enough.
Sure enough, Professor Tang quickly said, “Wait for me!”
He immediately hung up the phone and ran all the way to Professor Gu’s office.
Tan Mo had left with Wang Yuemu and Wu Xiaoye. Even after they had long disappeared, Qin Murong was still frozen in place.
Wang Yuemu and Wu Xiaoye had said that as long as Tan Mo was willing, she could be Professor Tang and Professor Gu’s direct disciple?
When did the position of Professor Tang and Professor Gu’s protege become so easily attainable?
A 15-year-old girl who has just started her freshman year can get it so easily?
After watching the drama, the other students, all with contemptuous expressions on their faces, walked past Qin Murong.
Qin Murong wanted to ask Wei Keli about what was going on with Tan Mo.
Since when did she have ties with Professor Tang and Professor Gu?
Isn’t Tan Mo in the Finance Department?
What does she have to do with the History Department and the Chinese Department?
However, before Qin Murong had time to ask, she heard that the people in Finance Class 2 and Finance Class 3 were already asking the students in Finance Class 1.
Everyone was very familiar with each other.
“What’s with Professor Tang and Professor Gu? How did Tan Mo get involved with those two?”
“Yes, isn’t she in our finance department?”
Finance Class 1’s students, each surrounded by three to four people, related what had happened that day.
“Don’t you guys know? The day before the military training, when our class had a meeting, Professor Gu and Professor Tang came to our class in person.”
