Top-notch Master Masquerading As Cannon Fodder Female Companion

Chapter 134 - Give One!



Chapter 134: Give One!

Professor Tang had a personal relationship with the director, so although he would still be indebted to him, it would be a more equal barter.

She would be able to just make more contributions to Professor Tang’s team in order to return the favor.

Professor Gu: “…”

Old Tang has always been so cunning.

Why didn’t he think of this idea?

“Tan Mo, I too…” Professor Gu said.

Tan Mo looked over at him with her bright eyes and asked, “Professor Gu, do you know any musicians or artists? Ordinary musicians won’t work. They are all so proud of their creations, and they are very stuck up and can’t be teachers.”

This wasn’t the same as learning from film directors.

“Also, my second brother is very talented, so average people can’t teach him,” Tan Mo said. “For the artist, the requirements aren’t very high, someone at the level of Dong Yanzhen will do.” Tan Mo looked at Professor Gu expectantly.

Professor Gu: “…”

This was all Old Tang’s fault for mentioning Hou Yuehai. Because of this, the girl had high expectations.

She expects someone at Dong Yanzhen’s level.

Where can he find such a person?

“I know a master of ink painting. He is indeed at the same level as Dong Yanzhen, but your third brother studies oil painting.” They weren’t in the same field.

Tan Mo was disappointed, and her eyes that had been shining brightly dimmed now.

Professor Gu: “…”

Was he really willing to be beaten by Old Tang?

Does he have to make a deal with this little girl for her to come learn from him?

The point is that he can’t find the right people to mentor her three brothers.

Professor Gu felt exasperated.

This was his first time begging a student to come take his class.

Before the students had been the ones begging him, and they had to meet his requirements.

Even if they had the desire to learn, if they didn’t have the qualifications, he wouldn’t accept them as disciples.

A student of Beijing University coming to his class was different from becoming one of his disciples.

The same was true for Professor Tang.

What the two had said to Tan Mo was that Tan Mo had the capabilities to get special treatment.

The most important thing was that she was only 15 years old.

There were many more years for her to learn, and her potential was huge.

This was what they valued the most about her.

Professor Gu glanced aside and saw that Professor Tang was now looking relaxed.

He had obviously completed his task here, so he was relaxed and could watch the show from the sidelines.

Professor Gu was furious.

He thought for a while, then said to Tan Mo, “Your second brother is studying music. I really don’t have any acquaintances in this area. Your third brother is studying art, and I can try that area. Although I only know a master of ink painting, it’s still in the art industry so he must know masters of oil painting. Dong Yanzhen isn’t possible. He travels around the world, so he certainly can’t stay in City B to teach your third brother. I will ask him to find someone to help your brother.”

However, he didn’t have a direct friendship with him, so this route wasn’t very reliable.

Tan Mo smiled and said, “Professor Gu, I don’t mean to be so troublesome. My third brother is still young, so we can talk about it later. Don’t worry now.”

It was already very surprising for her to be able to find a famous mentor for her oldest brother.

Professor Gu: “…”

If I don’t look for one, will you come take my class?

Tan Mo said, “But I really don’t have too much time to go to history class. I’m still young, and my body is still growing, so I can’t sacrifice too much rest time because it will affect my growth.”

Professor Gu: “…”

This was true.

Tan Mo was young, and she needed to rest.

But wasn’t Tan Mo smart?

He’d asked Principal Qi of Jixia Academy.

Tan Mo could master everything. She learned extremely quickly, so it wouldn’t take up much time at all.

Otherwise, Tan Mo wouldn’t have had such achievements and profound knowledge when she was only 15 years old.

“If Professor Gu is okay with this, I can follow the upperclassmen while they research related topics.” Tan Mo wasn’t modest. At her current level, she could have discussions even with Professor Gu, so participating in a research group was nothing at all.

Professor Gu thought about it for a while. He really didn’t know exactly what level Tan Mo was on.

Judging things only from her essay would be difficult to convince the rest of the research group.

Not everyone in his team was like Wang Yuemu, so he can’t let her into his team too easily without having her show her strength.

The reason why he’d asked Wang Yuemu to find Tan Mo was because Wang Yuemu was straightforward and not too complex.

She was devoted to research and believed in him very much.

As long as he said Tan Mo was capable, Wang Yuemu would never doubt it.

Unlike some other people who were very arrogant, especially after joining his team. They received people’s envy wherever they went.

If some arrogant people felt that Tan Mo hadn’t studied their major seriously and had joined the team on the strength of just one essay without any examinations, they could cause trouble.

They might not dare to cause trouble in front of him, but they would definitely give Tan Mo a hard time.

He’d finally won Tan Mo over, and he didn’t want anyone to bully her and drive her away again.

Tan Mo needed proof of her abilities to convince the team.

Thinking about this, Professor Gu got up and went to the large bookcase on the opposite wall.

He took out a book that wasn’t that thick, but not that thin either.

It looked like an ancient book that had been bound together with thread.

There was a long white box on the right side of the blue cover.

There were several characters written in the long white box.

“This book is an excerpted copy.” Professor Gu handed it to Tan Mo and said, “You can translate and annotate it. There is no time limit, but try to give it to me as quickly as you can.”

Tan Mo took the book and saw the words on the cover: Liye Qinjian.

As soon as these words came out of her mouth, Professor Tang’s eyes lit up and he asked, “You actually know Gu Li?”

“Gu Li is a transitional font from Xiao Zhuan to modern Li, and Xiao Zhuan, also known as Qin Zhuan, is a policy of the same text in Qin Shu and the same track, and unified weights and measures,” Wu Xiaoye said. “This is the most basic knowledge. Gu Li transformed Xiao Zhuan’s uniform lines of equal thickness into straight and angular strokes such as horizontal, vertical, and skewed lines.”

Wu Xiaoye walked over to Tan Mo. As Professor Tang’s student, he naturally knew him well.

Professor Gu had studied ancient classical Chinese and had read all the original texts, so his knowledge wasn’t surprising.

As Professor Gu’s student, Wang Yuemu probably also demanded this of herself.

“Do you know it too?” Wu Xiaoye asked Wang Yuemu.

“Of course,” Wang Yuemu said proudly. “However, I taught it to myself after being taken in as a disciple by Professor Gu.

“Before that, I could only recognize at most two characters. The first Chinese character and the last simplified character. These two characters are similar to modern traditional characters, and they are still recognizable. As for the character “Ye”, before studying, I didn’t recognize it at all. And for the third character “Qin”, if someone gives a hint, I can think of it, but if no one gives a hint, I can’t be sure just by looking at it.”
