Chapter 823 : The Guilty Old and Young
“It’s fine if she’s a math major, but she’s not. What right does she have to teach us math?”
“Isn’t she a rich second generation? Come to think of it, her family is also wealthy, isn’t it? It’s Tanyue Homeware!” said the bespectacled male class monitor. “It’s just I don’t know how much effort the Tan family has put into this matter and how much they have sponsored the school to directly sponsor Tan Mo to be a teaching assistant.”
“Tan Mo is also funny. If she were a teaching assistant in History Department or ancient Chinese-related department, she wouldn’t have caused such a huge backlash,” said the square-faced boy with glasses. “But she had chosen the Mathematics Department. She thinks that she can do whatever she wants with money, and she’s not afraid of other people’s disapproval at all.”
“But the school allowed her to act so recklessly?” said the class monitor with a ponytail. “This is Beijing University!”
“No matter how powerful the school is, it still needs to survive. No matter where it is, it can’t avoid this kind of thing from happening,” said the male class monitor with glasses who had a mature look on his face as if he had seen through the world. “If Tan MO wants to go to another department, I don’t care. But if she wants to harm our Mathematics Department, no way! We’re here to study, not to help her perfect her Tan MO’s resume!”
“Right!”
“You’re right!”
Everyone chimed in.
The class monitor with a ponytail looked at her phone and said, “We should go to class now. Coincidentally, it is Tan MO’s class. What should we do for this class?” “Act according to circumstances,” the square-faced boy said. “If we have the opportunity to ask her a few questions and make her embarrassed on the spot, that would be even better. If she doesn’t have the ability, don’t come and embarrass herself. ”
After the discussion, they went to class.
Tan MO took the teaching materials and went to see the associate professor Yang from the real variable function class.
Originally, Principal Mu had agreed to let Tan MO take charge of the optional course.
However, after much research, Principal Mu and the other professors felt that with Tan MO’s ability, it was too wasteful to only teach optional courses.
Especially the aspects included in the mathematics competition. It suited Tan MO so well. They couldn’t waste Tan MO’s talent, could they?
Tan MO might even be able to groom a few mathematics competition’s winning students.
Thus under Tan MO’s disapproving gaze, Principal Mu withstood the immense pressure brought about by Tan MO’s gaze and still assign two lessons to Tan Mo.
Even though under Tan MO’s gaze, Principal Mu also felt that he wasn’t being very kind.
He had promised Tan MO that he would only assign her optional courses.
Moreover, Tan MO was so busy now.
As she was still staying at Beijing University to pursue postgraduate studies, Professor Gu, Professor Tang, and Professor Yue were extremely happy.
They could still keep Tan MO in their laboratory to continue with the research.
Apart from that, Tan MO still had to attend classes. And President Mu had also arranged two compulsory courses for Tan Mo.
President Mu could only use the fact that ‘people with greater ability to assume greater responsibility’ to convince her.
“Tan MO, let’s go,” seeing Tan MO come over, Associate Professor Yang smiled as he picked up the teaching materials and walked with her. “It’s still alright now that we’re in the first year. Moving on, probably there will be some difficult problems that we can only rely on you to teach.”
“Of course not. At most, our teaching methods are different,” Tan MO said with a smile.
Associate Professor Yang waved his hand. “Don’t be so humble. You don’t have to care about my feelings either. I’m not some mathematician. I’m far from that level. It’s only natural that there are many problems that I can’t solve.”
Tan MO smiled and stopped being so humble.
“Speaking of which, there are some freshmen who are dissatisfied with you being an assistant teacher recently. Don’t take it to heart,” said associate Professor Yang. “They’ve just arrived and don’t know much about you. They don’t know your achievements in this area.”
Tan MO didn’t care. She shrugged. “I don’t care. If the freshmen aren’t satisfied, then I just don’t teach. We’ll see how the principal coordinates it then.”
To be honest, she didn’t initiate to come to class.
Associate Professor Yang knew that Tan MO had been coaxed into teaching by Principal Mu with great difficulty.
He only hoped that the freshmen would be more sensible and not let Principal Mu’s efforts be wasted.
If Tan MO were to teach the sophomore and above, or even the postgraduate courses, those students would be more than happy.
Even if Tan MO had just officially started her postgraduate studies today, the students of the Mathematics Department who were currently pursuing postgraduate studies would still welcome Tan Mo.
The reason why Principal Mu had arranged for Tan MO to teach the freshmen was that he hoped that the students could build a good foundation from their first year. They could absorb more, learn more, and prepare for more in-depth topics in the future.
“That’s true. If the freshmen aren’t sensible, the sophomores and above will all be waiting for you. They can’t wait for you to not teach the freshmen and teach them,” said Associate Professor Yang. “Ever since the freshmen expressed their dissatisfaction, many senior students have privately said that they don’t know how lucky they are. If they had attended your class when they were freshmen, they might even be able to try the math competition.” Tan MO was a little embarrassed and said, “It’s not to this extent.”
Although it was the truth, she couldn’t just accept it.
It showed how thick-skinned she was.
Speaking of this, Associate Professor Yang suddenly paused, and the expression on his face became strange.
Tan MO asked curiously, “Teacher Yang, what’s wrong?”
“Ahem!” Associate Professor Yang looked around and said awkwardly, “I don’t mind telling you, but don’t tell anyone. It’s not good for people to hear me, a teacher, gossiping about students.”
Tan MO’s eyes twitched. Hearing Associate Professor Yang’s words, she became even more curious.
She even looked around to make sure the people around in the distance couldn’t hear their conversation. However, she still lowered her voice and said, “I definitely won’t tell anyone.”
“Ahem!” Associate Professor Yang also looked around with a guilty conscience. Then, he whispered to Tan MO, “I think those senior students know your ability, but they deliberately didn’t tell the new students.”
Seeing Tan MO look over, Associate Professor Yang said, “Think about it. Before the new students entered the school, although they didn’t know about your abilities, how could they not hear any news at all after they entered the school?”
“You’re very famous in our school! The students in our school know all of your
deeds like the back of their hands! Not to mention those who aimed at you to enter Beijing University,” said Associate Professor Yang.
It was because during the summer vacation this year, there were too many things about Tan MO to talk about.
Even President Mu didn’t coax Tan MO to participate in the enrollment mission.
Naturally, none of the new students saw Tan MO’s ability in mathematics.
“Unless the senior students have agreed not to tell the new students. Otherwise, it’s impossible for the new students to not hear any news at all,” said Associate Professor Yang in a low voice. “Of course, in our school, there are so many sophomores and above. It’s impossible for all of them to agree on a unified statement. It’s too difficult.”.
