Top-notch Master Masquerading As Cannon Fodder Female Companion Chapter 246 - Listen to Tan Mo as She Makes Stuff Up

She was literally making stuff up on the spot!

And she had such a serious face when she said it. She was so persuasive that they almost fell for what she was saying.

The truth was that Beijing University always sent out the top of their classes for exchange programs like this.

They’d lost in the past. They had actually lost, and it had been a fair playing field.

What Tan Mo said about them being chill about events like this—and sending random students to attend—was completely false.

The Beijing University sophomores at the exchange program today were all here for the first ti, so they didn’t actually know whether Tan Mo was telling the truth or not.

They looked at one another with confused looks on their faces.

Was what Tan Mo said true?

They’d all thought they were at the top of their classes…

Had they actually been chosen at random?

These top students started questioning themselves. Were they actually the best in their classes?

The Beijing University professors saw the questioning looks on their faces, but they didn’t say anything.

They sighed to themselves.

But, at the sa ti, everyone from team Beijing lifted their heads high and proud.

That’s how good they were!

Beijing University was the role model of top universities, because they encouraged the sharing of knowledge and education.

The Tsinghua team had nothing to say.

According to what Tan Mo had said, Beijing University sent random students to the exchange program, and those students had varying degrees of history knowledge.

But every year Tsinghua sends out only its best students.

So, according to what Tan Mo had said, the playing field was not fair, and it seed as if Tsinghua was inferior to Beijing University.

At Beijing University, the exchange program was considered an activity of little importance, and its students didn’t pride themselves on being a part of it. Tsinghua, however, took it extrely seriously, and they only sent their top students to the exchange program.

It seems that they took it too seriously, and those who take things too seriously are kind of a joke.

In terms of attitude, they’d already lost against Beijing University.

The Tsinghua professor scoffed loudly. He had been suspicious for just a mont, but then he’d co back to reality, and he scoffed as a reminder to his students.

“So President Mu doesn’t take this seriously?” The leading Tsinghua professor said with a smile, but his smile expressed no joy or friendliness.

The Tsinghua team ca back to themselves after hearing what their professor had said.

That’s right!

President Mu wasn’t one to take things lightly. President Mu was extrely competitive, and he wanted to be first in everything. What Tan Mo said couldn’t possibly be true. This exchange program was surely a big deal at Beijing University.

They had almost been tricked by Tan Mo.

“Ha! Whatever you say! You can say whatever you like,” Qu Yuanqi said, laughing coldly. “Everyone knows the truth in their own hearts.”

Tan Mo was astonished. She was astonished that Qu Yuanqi knew Shen Jingyi’s catchphrase.

She almost blurted out, “Are you Shen Jingyi’s relative?” But Tan Mo held it in, and she didn’t ask him what she wanted to ask.

Yang Guangyuan said with a proud and arrogant look on his face, “You all had to get help from soone from the school of finance. What a disgrace. It seems that Beijing University’s school of history is no longer what it used to be…not to say that it was ever much good.”

“Listen to what you are saying. We are all just sophomores, and we have only scratched the surface of this subject. Why are you all so proud of yourselves? It seems that you all consider yourselves the best in the world at history, and you go around looking down at people.” The Beijing University students were angered by the attitude of those from Tsinghua, and they didn’t plan on holding back anymore.

Before the Tsinghua students had arrived, Tan Mo had been introduced to all the sophomores from Beijing University in the exchange program.

The boy who just spoke up was Song Mingqi.

“You are right. Sophomores don’t know a lot compared to professionals in the field, but right now we just have to be better than you all,” Yang Guangyuan said to the Beijing University students. “Professors, we were just asking Professor Hu on our way here: who is the history consultant of ‘Legend of Wei and Jin’? Would it be possible for her to join the exchange? We would all benefit a lot if given the opportunity to exchange and discuss ideas with her.”

The Beijing University professors and students were silent for a mont…

They turned to Professor Hu and thought to themselves, what a surprise that Professor Hu would trick them like that.

Professor Hu turned her head to the side as if she couldn’t feel their gazes. They couldn’t bla her for doing that anyway, she thought to herself. They had just seen how arrogant these Tsinghua students were. She was annoyed at them, and she was about to get back at them with this surprise.

The other schools in Beijing University might not know, but everyone in the school of history knows who was the history consultant of “Legend of Wei and Jin.”

It didn’t matter that she was from the school of finance. She was a part of Beijing University.

Besides, Tan Mo is Professor Zhao’s research student, so technically she is part of the school of history.

Not such a big difference.

“What do you an? Do you think our sophomores are not good enough to be part of this exchange program?” One of Beijing University’s tenured professors asked in a low voice.

“Of course not. It’s just that we ca here all the way from Tsinghua, so we want to discuss ideas with the best students. That way we can all benefit the most,” Luo Xiangwei said. “We’ve wanted to et that consultant for a long ti, but we’ve never had the chance. Since she is a student at Beijing University and since we are here today, we’d like to take advantage of the opportunity to et her.”

The Beijing University students listened quietly as the Tsinghua students expressed their admiration for Tan Mo.

Honestly, they felt kind of bad for those Tsinghua students…

They only knew that the history consultant was a female student from Beijing University, but they didn’t know who she actually was.

They were the ones who’d jumped to conclusions, so they were the ones to bla.

But still, they felt kind of bad for those Tsinghua students.

“We don’t know either. Professor Zhao never said, and we never asked,” Professor Yuan smiled and said. “It’s not a big deal anyway. Being a history consultant is not such a great accomplishnt compared to what others students at Beijing University have done, so no one cares about it much.”

Professor Hu turned and looked at Professor Yuan. They hadn’t discussed this beforehand, but they had arrived at a tacit understanding of what they should say.

The Tsinghua group didn’t say anything.

Although they didn’t believe what Professor Yuan had just said… But, maybe it was true that those professors didn’t know who the history consultant was?

“Why don’t you send a student to ask Professor Zhao?” Professor Yuan recomnded.

He wasn’t about to trouble Professor Zhao himself.

The Tsinghua students looked at one another, and then the Tsinghua professor said, “Okay. Could we please have soone to direct us how to find Professor Zhao?”

Professor Yuan said, “Song Mingqi, why don’t you be their guide?”

Song Mingqi was a smart kid; he should know what to do.

“Okay,” Song Mingqi nodded and replied.

The Tsinghua group chose Yang Guangyuan to go, and the two of them left together.

On the way, Song Mingqi listened as Yang Guangyuan complained about the Beijing University campus.

“Your campus doesn’t look good. Tsinghua’s buildings and its scenery were built hundreds of years ago.”

“Your campus doors aren’t very nice. They’re too small and hard to find.”

Song Mingqi laughed dryly and said, “That door is small because it was built hundreds of year ago, but it is regularly maintained, so it looks new.”

Beijing University was also an old institution. Where did Yang Guangyuan’s sense of superiority co from?

After this conversation, Song Mingqi didn’t feel like talking to Yang Guangyuan anymore.

Yang Guangyuan continued talking, and when he said sothing that needed a response, Song Mingqi just nodded nonchalantly.

They finally arrived at Professor Zhao’s office.

Song Mingqi knocked on the door and heard Professor Zhao’s voice saying, “Co in!”

Song Mingqi opened the door and was astonished to see Director Liu there as well.

Because of “Legend of Wei and Jin”, Director Liu had been receiving a lot of publicity and had been giving a lot of interviews.

He was already pretty famous before “Legend of Wei and Jin”. Most people had heard of his na, but were unfamiliar with his face.

But after “Legend of Wei and Jin”, everyone recognized Director Liu’s face.

“Director Liu!” Song Mingqi ca in with a big smile on his face. “You’re here as well.”

Song Mingqi ca forward excitedly and said nervously, “Over the sumr, I watched ‘Legend of Wei and Jin’ three tis! It is so good! When you are filming your next series? Will it be another historical series?”

Director Liu was here to thank Professor Zhao, and he also wanted to visit Tan Mo while he was on campus.

But just as he arrived, Song Mingqi ca to the door.

Ever since “Legend of Wei and Jin” had aired, Director Liu had been besieged by a lot of fans, and many of them young like Song Mingqi.

Director Liu was used to seeing excited fans, and no matter how many tis he ran into them, he still got a kick out of it every ti.
