Chapter 182: Request for Her Brothers

This 15-year-old teenager was able to understand how he was feeling in spite of the fact that he had never told her a word about it.

Obviously, he wasn’t the only one who was paying attention to her. She was doing the same to him.

She had been watching him and observing him silently.

It was impossible for him not to be moved by it.

There were no words that could describe his feelings and emotions at that moment.

It really touched him, but it was so much more complicated than that.

It reminded Wei Zhiqian of the first time the two of them had met.

At that time, he had never thought that their relationship would mean something and would eventually turn out to be something so important in his life.

In the middle of feeling all these emotions, Wei Zhiqian realized that all the time he had spent with Tan Mo had been worth it.

It was then that Wei Zhiqian noticed that the team from Beijing University and Professor Guo were all waiting for Tan Mo in order to return to Beijing University.

“Why don’t you head back to school now? The others are waiting for you.”

“Okay…” Tan Mo didn’t really want to leave Wei Zhiqian, but she still waved her hand and jogged back toward her team.

Wei Zhiqian smiled and waved her good-bye as well, before walking out with the rest of the audience.

Tan Mo followed her schoolmates back into the bus and returned to Beijing University.

Little did these students know that on their way back, President Mu of Beijing University was going to call President Shi of Tsinghua University.

“Shi, how are you?” President Mu greeted him with a laugh as soon as the call went through. “Did you watch the Ancient Text Competition today?”

President Shi had already known what the point of the call wa going to be when he saw it was from President Mu.

He had considered pretending to have not watched the competition, but quickly gave up on that idea.

Even if he had said that he hadn’t watched and had no idea what the result was, President Mu would just have told him everything in detail.

There was no way he would have wanted to hear President Mu reciting everything that had happened during the competition, which was a huge embarrassment for Tsinghua University.

In the end, President Shi decided to pretend that he didn’t care about the result. “I did. Congratulations.”

SIGH! President Mu waved his arms around in spite of knowing that President Shi could not see him. “To tell you the truth, my team was really mediocre. Wait, that’s not the right word. It’s just that most of them didn’t have the chance to prove themselves since Tan Mo single-handedly kicked everyone else off the stage.”

Since Beijing University was one of Tsinghua University’s biggest adversaries, President Shi realized that President Mu was saying that just to annoy him.

How can the president of one of the top universities say things like kicking people off the stage…?

President Shi sighed to himself.

“We can’t even estimate the rest of the contestants’ potential now. These juniors and seniors are probably going to be criticizing themselves for being carried by a freshman. They should. That’s what I’m going to tell them once they get back,” President Mu continued, not giving President Shi a chance to breathe.

“Now that I’m thinking about it, you almost got Tan Mo to go to Tsinghua University, right? You were just unlucky that I suddenly hopped into the race as well. It’s like Usain Bolt suddenly joining a regional race, ha, ha, ha!” President Mu laughed really loudly.

In the end, he credited himself with the win since he had been the one who had spent many hours and resources to recruit Tan Mo to his university. He was glad that he was smarter than his peers.

President Shi remained silent on the other end of the phone while the President of Beijing University continued, “Now I finally understand why everyone keeps saying that there’s no need for two geniuses in one world.”

When President Mu said that, President Shi slammed the phone down. President Mu’s voice was making him puke.

President Mu stared at his phone and clicked his tongue.

“Can he only handle this much? That’s why I’m better than he is,” he complimented himself before hanging up as well.

When the bus that Tan Mo was riding on stopped in front of the dormitories of Beijing University, they all realized that President Mu was personally waiting for them.

As soon as Professor Guo got off the bus, the president walked up and greeted him with a handshake. “Professor Go, thank you for your hard work.”

The professor’s lips twitched a little, but he didn’t have the chance to say anything as the students were coming off the bus as well.

The president shook the hand of every student with a smile. “Good work out there.”

Tan Mo was the last to get off the bus. The moment the president saw her, tears filled his eyes.

He grabbed Tan Mo’s hand emotionally and shook it vigorously. “Tan Mo! Good job! You are the pride of our university!”

“I was just doing my job as a student.” Tan Mo smiled.

“Well said! Well said!” The president could not stop smiling. “No matter what you think, you deserve to be rewarded. I’ve had a flag made with your name and the words, Pride of Beijing University, on it.”

Tan Mo stared at the president wordlessly. You didn’t have to go that far…

“Not only that,” the president continued, “you’ll also get a monetary reward and the title of Beijing University’s Outstanding Student.”

This last honor was the most important one, as it would help her a lot in the future.

“Tan Mo, as the one who carried us to this victory, do you have anything else you want?” President Mu decided to add another reward as he was having the best day of his life. “I’ll give you one thing as long as it’s within my power.”

“You know what?” Tan Mo tilted her head. “There is something I might need your help with…”

“Oh?” She had piqued President Mu’s interest.

He knew about the relationship between Tan Mo and Wei Zhiqian. There was no need for her to ask for another person’s help if she had such a connection.

What was more was that this was the first time she had asked for a favor from him.

When he was trying to get her to attend his university, he’d told her if she needed anything else that was not included in the contract, he would be able to add it as long as it was within reason.

Despite such an alluring offer, Tan Mo didn’t ask for anything else.

It was then that President Mu knew that Tan Mo was not a greedy lady.

If she had been, then she would never have caught Wei Zhiqian’s attention.

“I have three older brothers. One of them is majoring in music and one in arts. Is it possible for you to use your connections and introduce a famous songwriter and producer to my brother? Or do you know any famous artists?” Tan Mo shyly asked. “If you do, can you introduce them to my third brother? Of course, either one is enough. It will be greatly appreciated.”

Tan Mo had quickly taken the chance to help her brothers.

President Mu was completely stunned. He had never expected that that would be the request from the young lady.

A request that did not benefit her, but other people…

The president had heard from Professor Guo and Professor Zhao that the reason Tan Mo had refused to change her major was that she wanted to take over her family’s business so that her brothers could be free from their duties to pursue their own dreams.
