Chapter 243: Pitiful Lin Fuxi

“I’m quite confident that Tan Mo won’t lose. She had the expertise to join Professor Zhao’s research team.”

They are suspicious…?

If they were suspicious, then just let them find someone to compare with Tan Mo.

“These additional points were more than enough for Tan Mo to earn the top two scholarships. However, during her winter break, Tan Mo also joined the production crew of ‘Legend of Wei and Jin’ as their historical consultant, and thus earned some more points.

“There have been a lot of discussions going on about ‘Legend of Wei and Jin’. I’m sure that many of you have seen it. Those who have seen it should understand, and those who have not seen it have probably heard. I’ve also seen it myself. Some popular historical bloggers and video streamers have commented on the show, proving that every small detail in the show: its costumes, dialogue, manners, comes from a reliable historical context. That’s why ‘Legend of Wei and Jin’ is considered the best historical series of the past decade.

“And all of that was possible because of Tan Mo’s expertise. All of the historical details in the show were carefully thought out and organized by Tan Mo.” Counselor Hong said, “It is true that Tan Mo didn’t earn additional points from activities hosted by the school of finance, but she got points from the school of language and the school of history. That is why the university awarded her the two highest scholarships.

“There is no rule against earning points through activities outside of the school of finance.” Counselor Hong asked sternly, “Lin Fuxi, have I answered your questions regarding Tan Mo?”

Lin Fuxi didn’t say anything.

Counselor Hong didn’t react to her silence. He found the student GPA ranking list and brought it over to Lin Fuxi and showed it to her.

“Here is the detailed ranking list. Yours is here as well. There are many students above you, that is why you got the third-level scholarship.” She should see clearly where she stood academically. She had a lot of competition, and honestly he didn’t know where her confidence about getting the top scholarship came from.

Of course, the third-level scholarship was an honor as well. It was just that Lin Fuxi didn’t like it, and she was a bit overconfident about herself.

Lin Fuxi looked at the ranking list, and the scores of those above her.

Did she really…lose by so much?

“This is a copy, so if you want to look through it carefully, you can keep it.” Counselor Hong left the paper at her desk.

“Okay, end of class. Tan Mo, Li Fuxi, remember to provide your bank account numbers to receive your scholarships.” Counselor Hong reminded them, then he turned around and left.

Lin Fuxi held tightly onto the rankings list, crumpling the corner of the paper.

Now she remembered, President Mu had mentioned very briefly that they could earn points toward their scholarship if they won an award at the Ancient Text Competition. He said that just once, during the freshman introduction ceremony. Lin Fuxi had forgotten about it completely.

She had had no clue about the other additional points that Tan Mo had gotten.

And Tan Mo didn’t even get any points for the scriptwriting, because she didn’t want to make it public.

Also, Beijing University didn’t have a school of theater…maybe it could be counted as an activity for the school of language or history.

But even without the additional points from scriptwriting, Tan Mo had more than enough points to earn the top two scholarships.

President Mu had asked Tan Mo for her opinion about why she didn’t want to add those points.

“Tan Mo, why didn’t you tell me that you had so many additional points?” Lin Fuxi was furious. She had lost all her rationale.

“That’s a strange question. Why should I tell you? Do I have to report to you about everything that I do?” Tan Mo asked curiously. “Also, if I told you, wouldn’t you think that I was bragging? I didn’t tell you, and now you think I hid it from you on purpose. Regardless of what I do, you think that I am in the wrong. Seriously, what do you want from me?

“Also, I didn’t participate in those activities for scholarship points. I didn’t even know I could get scholarship points from those activities.” Tan Mo tilted her head and smiled, “You’re right. My family is quite well off, so I wasn’t going after the scholarship. In the future, I won’t need these honors to find a job either. You were right in saying that the scholarship is not a big deal to me. I did well, so I earned it. If I hadn’t done well, I wouldn’t have earned it, and I wouldn’t go mad with jealousy either.”

“You…are you trying to insult me?” Lin Fuxi clenched her fists.

Did Tan Mo think that she was jealous of her?

“I just want fairness,” Lin Fuxi said.

Tan Mo pointed to the rankings list that Lin Fuxi was holding and said, “There you go, that’s fairness for you.”

PFFT! Meng Yuxi had tried hard to hold back her laugh, pressing her lips together tightly. But after a bit she accidently laughed out loud. She couldn’t hold it back anymore.

“Tan Mo, this is your private business. It is your decision whether or not you want to tell anyone about it.” The head of class spoke up for her, continuing, “Also, this isn’t such a big deal. Why make a big fuss about it? Look at everyone in class, who cares whether she tells us or not? Even if Tan Mo didn’t plan on telling us, we know it now anyway, and none of us is making a big deal out of it.”

“That’s right. What she does herself is what she does herself. In bigger terms, that is called privacy. We’re not her family, nor are we her parents, so why should she have to report to us what she does?” Another classmate continued the conversation.

“Some people just like to make a fuss. Not only is a certain someone sour and jealous, that person also wants to be the center of attention.” Someone smirked.

“You guys…” Lin Fuxi looked at her classmates, all of them, every single one of them was standing by Tan Mo’s side. They were all helping Tan Mo by attacking her. Lin Fuxi said furiously, “It is because she’s rich? Because she’s rich, all of you are rushing to kiss up to her? You’re all kissing up to her. Did you get anything good from her yet?”

HMPH! Lin Fuxi held her head high and proudly, like the only one in the world who could withstand the enticement of money. “You guys didn’t get anything good from her yet, but you are all showing your disgusting, greedy faces already.”

In just a couple of sentences, Lin Fuxi effectively offended every single student in the classroom.

Now they were truly unhappy and they weren’t going to let her off the hook.

Lin Fuxi still had that strangely pitiful look on her face, as if she was Aristotle and they all thought that the earth was flat. She left the classroom with her head held high.

Even after Lin Fuxi had left, everyone in class continued discussing what she’d just said. Obviously they were angry.

“Thanks, everyone, for speaking up for me.” Tan Mo thanked them genuinely. “Good thing that you guys saw through what she was saying.”

Some people may have been guilt-tripped into believing what Lin Fuxi had said.

Good thing the students in her class were clear thinkers.

“We are already adults. We can discern what is right and what is wrong.” The head of class smiled.

“Yep, we were all at the top of our classes, to be accepted into Beijing University. We are, at the very least, clear thinking.”

Tan Mo thanked them again, and they continued the conversation with her.

Originally, during freshman year, Tan Mo had been too busy, and she hadn’t had a lot of time to communicate and network with her classmates.

Today she’d said more words to them than any other day since she had come to the university.

After talking with her, her classmates also realized that she was an adorable little genius. She was a genius, but she wasn’t antisocial or excessively proud.

They all talked to her, and she was literally able to continue any type of conversation.

After that day, they all became closer.

…

Today, Tan Mo was in Professor Zhao’s research room.

Everyone was working when the professor walked in.

“Tomorrow, Tsinghua’s History Department is sending a team of students here,” he said.

“With that look on your face, I thought something serious had happened.” Zhang Honghai laughed and looked up at him.
