Chapter 130: This Older Brother Was Really Eloquent

“I don’t learn much in class, but I do a lot of studying on my own after class. And there are plenty of topics that you will be able to study on your own. Are you sure you can skip grades?”

“It won’t be a big problem,” Tan Mo said confidently.

Qin Murong raised her eyebrows and couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Tan Mo, you haven’t been exposed to university courses yet, so don’t be so blindly confident.” Qin Murong laughed mockingly and said, “The knowledge you learn in class is just a small portion of what you have to learn. You have to study many topics independently also. It’s not like in middle school and high school, where you simply remember what you were taught and then use it on the exams.

“In school, before university, everything was exam-oriented so that you could get high scores to ensure that you could get accepted into university. After entering Beijing University, this method won’t work any longer.” Qin Murong seemed as if she was trying to be helpful, but in fact she was mocking Tan Mo.

“I advise you to take things slowly and steadily, step by step, and don’t be so anxious to skip grade levels. Even if you try, you might not succeed.” Qin Murong said gently, “I know you skipped grade levels in the past, otherwise, you wouldn’t have been admitted at the age of 15.

“When you were in the first grade of elementary school, you skipped to the third grade,” Qin Murong said. “You didn’t skip any grades after that. The courses of the first grade of elementary school, to be honest, are really simple. Even for ordinary children, as long as they studied hard and listened carefully in class, getting perfect scores in one or two subjects wouldn’t be a problem.

“You were smart enough to skip to the third grade, and you never skipped any grades again.” Qin Murong spoke as if she had Tan Mo’s best interests at heart. “So you should study university courses slowly and steadily, step by step.

“After the third grade of elementary school, you didn’t skip any more grades. Now that you are at Beijing University, you still want to skip grades?” Qin Murong shook her head and said, “Tan Mo, I know you want to prove that you are excellent. You are very proud, but don’t be too conceited. It’s better to have a clear understanding of yourself and take things easy.”

She had only skipped grades in elementary school, yet she was pretending to be a genius.

She just wanted to use this as a ruse to let everyone know that Tan Mo was a fake genius.

After skipping the first grade of elementary school, she couldn’t skip any more grades.

She didn’t have any ability at all.

Lin Fuxi’s eyes gleamed. It seems that Tan Mo wasn’t all that capable.

She was actually pretty average.

The saying that being bright at an early age does not necessarily bring success probably refers to people like Tan Mo.

“If it wasn’t for the fact that I didn’t want to be in the same class with your sister Qin Muxiao, would I have even needed to skip a grade?” Tan Mo said straightforwardly. “In order to skip a grade, I had to sacrifice my spare time, which was also very tiring.

“I didn’t skip grades later because Qin Muxiao didn’t bother me anymore.” Tan Mo sighed and said, “Who knew that after I got rid of Qin Muxiao and entered Beijing University, you would pop up again.”

The students present: “…”

Tan Mo was so soft-spoken and cute, and this was the first time they had heard her speak so straightforwardly.

She must be really annoyed with Qin Murong, right?

Things must really be difficult for Tan Mo.

She had been harassed by Qin Murong’s sister before university and was now being harassed by Qin Murong after entering university.

What does Tan Mo owe these two sisters?

Wang Yuemu touched Tan Mo’s hair and said, “You were so annoyed that you had to skip grades. How pitiful.”

“Sister Wang…” Tan Mo looked at Wang Yuemu as if she had found a backer and a pillar of support. “You understand my difficulties?”

“Of course!” Even if she didn’t understand, she must pretend to understand.

Professor Gu said that they must snatch Tan Mo away from the Finance Department.

“Sister Wang?” Qin Murong looked at Wang Yuemu in disbelief. “Sister Wang, you met Tan Mo for the first time today, right? You definitely don’t know Tan Mo. She is a child, so although I can’t say anything too absolute about her, Tan Mo does have a tendency to be…dishonest.”

She doesn’t even know Tan Mo so how can she believe her just like that?

What is she doing?

“I only trust my teacher, Professor Gu.” Wang Yuemu embraced Tan Mo, shielded her, and glared at Qin Murong. “My teacher said that Tan Mo is outstanding. Her understanding of the Chinese language far surpasses that of any other undergraduates. Even a senior who has studied for four years couldn’t match up to her. She has more understanding and mastery of classical Chinese than even many professors.

“She’s such a genius, yet you say that she couldn’t skip grades after the third grade of elementary school because she is mediocre? Because she doesn’t have this ability? Huh! Obviously it’s because she didn’t want to skip grades anymore.” She might be straightforward, but it doesn’t mean she is stupid.

“Besides, why should I believe you instead of what my teacher said?” Although Wang Yuemu had just met Qin Murong for the first time, she didn’t have a very good impression of Qin Murong.

Because of a sixth sense, she just didn’t like Qin Murong very much.

Wang Yuemu took this opportunity to say to Tan Mo, “Tan Mo, my teacher…oh no, our teacher, Professor Gu, has a very high opinion of you too. My teacher never misjudges people. My teacher believes in you, so I believe in you too. Come, come with me. There are still many older sisters waiting for you to protect you.”

Qin Murong: “…”

What the h*ll?

How come Tan Mo has ties with Professor Gu as well?

Wu Xiaoye saw that from the looks of it, Tan Mo was about to be abducted by Wang Yuemu.

He was a grown man, so he can’t exactly get all touchy-feely with Tan Mo like Wang Yuemu can.

He inwardly cursed Professor Gu for being so cunning as to send a girl, so at least there would be fewer scruples in terms of physical contact.

His teacher, Professor Tang, was too upright.

Wu Xiaoye blocked Wang Yuemu and Tan Mo’s way out and said, “Tan Mo, Professor Tang also believes in you. He specially asked me to say that you have made a great contribution to the research in history. He said you provided a new research idea and direction for us, and said that even I can’t compare to you. He told me that I have to take care of you no matter what. You will be our most beloved junior from now on.”

Qin Murong: “…”

Wang Yuemu: “…”

Wu Xiaoye was too shameless.

Wu Xiaoye stayed on Tan Mo’s other side, but he didn’t dare to touch Tan Mo.

“You said that Tan Mo is still young so you don’t want to speak ill of her, but in the end you said a lot,” Wu Xiaoye said to Qin Murong. “On the contrary, Tan Mo never said anything. You’re actually saying that Tan Mo has a bad character? I think Tan Mo’s character is very good. It’s clear who is truly the one with the bad character.”

“Furthermore, my teacher, Professor Tang is highly knowledgeable and very accurate at judging people. How can a student he holds in high regard not be outstanding? Furthermore, he doesn’t have a good impression of you,” Wu Xiaoye said loudly.

The corners of Tan Mo’s mouth twitched.

This older brother was really eloquent.

While dissing Qin Murong, he didn’t forget to kiss up to Professor Tang.

“You even said that you’re studying alongside Professor Wu? I think you’re lying. Otherwise, how could Wang Yuemu have never seen you? Not only hasn’t she seen you, but I have never seen you either.” Wu Xiaoye stuck his nose up in the air out of scorn for Qin Murong.
