Top-notch Master Masquerading As Cannon Fodder Female Companion

Chapter 145: You Can’t Just Steal People

Wang Yuemu was staring at Tan Mo intently as well.

She was also holding onto her hands tightly as if she was never letting go.

“Tan Mo, you’re not only proficient with clerical script, you even know Warring States scripts. You are a genius. Professor Guo really does have a good eye for people.”

Wang Yuemu knew how to flatter someone.

Of course, what she said was the truth as well.

Although everyone was friendly toward Tan Mo, it was hard to tell from looks alone.

However, as of now, there was no more room for doubt.

Everyone was completely convinced of her ability.

No one could find any reasonable way to question her, both out loud or in their thoughts.

“I don’t know that much.” Tan Mo waved her hand dismissively.

Although she had an astonishing memory, she had never really looked into this area. Therefore she really couldn’t call herself an expert in this field.

Should she get the chance to go back and look into it, there might be chance for her to memorize all of it.

However, that giant brick of a dictionary sitting on Pu Xinyan’s desk looked way too heavy.

She simply did not have the interest or motivation to look through it.

“What’s going on?” Ying Siyuan ran over from the other side of the room. “You can’t just snatch people.”

If not for the fact that Tan Mo was a girl and Ying Siyuan was a guy, he would have grabbed Tan Mo into a gigantic hug so that she couldn’t be stolen by others.

Now, he could only beckon to his teammates, “Guan Ruyue, come over here and grab Tan Mo out of Wang Yuemu’s grasp!”

Wang Yuemu: ” …”

Tan Mo: “….”

This senior brother Ying Siyuan must be a clown.

But to their surprise, the senior sister Guan Ruyue actually came over.

She grabbed Tan Mo’s hands. “Senior sister Wang, please let go of Tan Mo. We can talk this over.”

You can’t just steal people.

Professor Guo’s team was extremely hard to join. Even if someone was lucky enough to join, if they didn’t have outstanding abilities, the others on the team wouldn’t want them to join.

Even though they were indeed short of people.

To be precise, they were short of talented people.

They were not going to let just anyone join.

What they needed were people like Tan Mo.

At this moment, neither side wanted to give up and let go of Tan Mo.

“Excuse me! Gentlemen settle disputes through communication rather than brawls.” Another senior brother from Ying Siyuan’s team, Wu Jiazhen, walked over.

You could persuade people to join, but you should not force them.

“Senior sister Wang, look, Professor Guo gave her a part of the Liye Qin Slips. This means that he wants Tan Mo to join our team.” Ying Siyuan thought that was evidence enough.

“Tan Mo has just finished the assignment. It’s still fresh. You can’t just come over and steal people like this.” Ying Siyuan looked at Wang Yuemu’s team with suspicion.

Wang Yuemu tried to appeal to them emotionally. “Brother Ying, I have no choice. If there were any other option, I wouldn’t be fighting over Tan Mo with you. But look, my team is struggling. Just looking up all these characters is taking too long. We all are plagued with headaches. Should Tan Mo join us, she could help to increase our efficiency greatly. If we could finish this part faster, then we could all move on to the next part sooner.

“Imagine, all you guys would be finished with your tasks and we would still be stuck here. What a delay that would be,” Wang Yuemu complained, sounding brokenhearted.

Tan Mo: “…”

She was surprised that sister Wang would do this.

And people had told her that she had a straightforward personality?

From her little speech just now, Wang Yuemu’s personality seemed quite distorted.

Ying Siyuan realized he was no match for Wang Yuemu and turned to Tan Mo, “I think we should ask for the opinion of the person we are all fighting over.”

“True. Tan Mo, which team do you want to join? ” Pu Xinyan turned around and asked enthusiastically.

“Tan Mo! Please come to our team. Our team doesn’t burn so many brain cells,” Guan Ruyue called out.

Ying Siyuan: “…”

They said it as if their team’s work was a walk in the park.

Wu Jiazhen reminded Ying Siyuan quietly, “You forgot? Senior sister Wang said Tan Mo joined late because she was too lazy to jump a grade.”

She was lazy?

She didn’t want to do the more tedious work.

Ying Siyuan’s eyes lit up at these words.

Suddenly he didn’t mind how his project was not as hard as Wang Yuemu’s or how that made him and his team look inferior to Wang Yuemu.

Right now, this was an advantage.

Ying Siyuan stared at Tan Mo in anticipation and added quickly, “That’s right. Tan Mo, we have fewer things to deal with here. It’s going to be easy.

“Look over there. They have to look up every character they encounter in the dictionary. Even if you ignore how tedious that is, just holding a dictionary of that size…” Ying Siyuan motioned with his hands. “How tiresome would that be?”

“Look at your arms. You are not fit for such hard labor.” Ying Siyuan had suddenly gained a tender heart for the ladies.

Wang Yuemu raised her eyebrows. Now they were all sweet talkers…?

They are no longer the insensitive dumb boys she knows…?

So had they always been insensitive just because they never cared enough?

Ha, ha, ha!

Men!

They are all garbage!

“It’s going to be so comfortable for you here. You already know clerical script, so you don’t have to waste all your time looking up characters. Because of your mastery of ancient Chinese, finishing your tasks shouldn’t take too long. As long as you are willing to type and are not afraid of some work, then you’ll be just fine. You don’t have to worry about anything else.” Ying Siyuan tried his best to coax her.

Tan Mo thought about it. It had some truth to it.

“Tan Mo, look over there. They have too many boys.” Pu Xinyan noticed that Tan Mo was starting to sway and quickly pointed something out. “Their team only has Guan Ruyue as the sole girl. How inconvenient that would be for you. If Guan Ruyue has to go on a break, then you would be the only girl. If you had some girl problems, you wouldn’t even have anyone to talk to.”

“That’s right! Look over here. There are me and your senior sister Pu both! We two girls here never go on break at the same time. No matter when you want to talk, there would always be one of us willing to listen.” Wang Yuemu followed up on Pu Xinyan’s idea.

“That’s enough.” Wu Jiazhen started to speak. “We are all under the same roof, just divided by walls. If Ruyue is not here, Tan Mo just has to turn around to see you two. Should anything really have happened, are you two going to ignore her just because she didn’t choose your team?”

Wang Yuemu: “…”

Pu Xinyan: “….”

They were instigating discord. Their words were blades to the heart. They were all acting like despicable villains.

Professor Guo watched from the side of the room and suddenly felt a familiar feeling.

Back in the day, when he and Old Zhao were in Economics class, had they been like this too?

This…was truly not a pretty sight.

Had they been this embarrassing?

He really should have recorded it to show Old Zhao.

“Senior brothers and sisters,…” Tan Mo, as the master mediator, was not going to upset anyone.

“I think it would be best to let Professor Guo decide,” Tan Mo said. “I am okay with any team. I will go along with Professor Guo’s plan.”

She was kicking the ball to Professor Guo.

At the sudden mention of his name, Professor Guo coughed and walked over.

He looked at his proud students. They were all looking at him with such anticipation as if they were all hungry chicks waiting to be fed.

Professor Guo was getting uncomfortable. The decision was hard to make.

He thought about it and spoke, “Tan Mo should join Wang Yuemu’s team.”

Ying Siyuan and the others lowered their heads in disappointment.
