At that time, Wen Nuanxin told the Old Madam that when she suspected that Wei Zhiqian liked men. She did not say much. It was just a hint.
She did not say much around Wei Zhiqian. Obviously, she did not take Wei Zhiqian to heart.
Instead, she mentioned Tan Mo and expressed her liking for her.
“In that case, it’s not good for us to go to the Wen family’s 100-day banquet.” The Old lady said, “Zhiqian’s blind date with her was unsuccessful but he got together with Mo,o. No matter how open-minded she was, I’m still worried that she would suspect that Zhiqian was deliberately playing with her. This isn’t going to congratulate her, but to rub it in her face instead.”
“Later, I will speak to Wen Nuanxin in private.” The Old Madam said.
The Old Madam was reliable and knew her limits, so everyone listened to the Old Madam.
They decided to go to the Ming Family’s celebration.
“For such an occasion, going to one family is enough. There are many guests. When they see it, they will naturally chat with their relatives and friends. The matter of Zhiqian and Momo will quickly spread.” The Old Lady said.
Tan Wenci and the three brothers felt like they had been cheated.
At that time, everyone would know about Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo. They would not be able to go back on their words.
Tan Wenci looked at Tan Mo, who was sitting between the Old Madam and Xiao Menghan. In a trance, he already had the feeling that his daughter was from the Wei family.
Tan Wenci’s eyes turned red and he almost cried.
Butler Zhu went to reply to the Ming Family first.
At noon, when the two families were sitting together for lunch.
The Old Madam looked at Tan Mo’s jade-like face while she was plotting in her heart when to bring up the matter of the engagement.
She had a fear of provoking the men of the Tan family as it was too early now.
She wondered if they would be able to accept it better after a month?
The Old Madam decided to adapt to the situation.
As everyone had drunk alcohol except Tan Mo.
So in the afternoon, the Old Madam asked the chauffeur to send Tan Mo back to Beijing University.
She asked Wei Zhiqian to stay in the Old Mansion to sober up.
Tan Wenci and the three brothers were also relieved.
Otherwise, they would not be able to keep watch. They were really afraid that Wei Zhiqian would take advantage of Tan Mo while they were away.
The three brothers also left B City to continue their work.
On Monday, Tan Mo received a notice from the school that the mathematics competition’s organizer, Hua University, would hold this year’s mathematics competition’s award ceremony on Tuesday.
So the next day, on Tuesday, Tan Mo gathered with the Beijing University’s award-winning students at the gate of the Beijing University and took a bus to Hua University with President Mu, Professor Guo, and Professor Yao.
Because there were only so many medals in the math competition, there were not many award-winning students. Hence, it was held in the small auditorium of Hua University.
Except for Tan Mo, they were all Science students. They were usually obsessed with math and were afraid that they would be caught up in a minute of slacking off, so they had no time to dress up.
So even when it was the award ceremony, everyone still wore very plain clothes.
Even the girls were only wearing plain coats, trousers and shoes like canvas shoes or sports shoes.
They attended the ceremony with no makeup on their faces.
The seats were not divided according to the school, but according to the ranking as well as the number of prizes won.
Tan Mo, who was ranked first in all five events, was naturally arranged to sit in the first row.
There were not many students in the first row. Besides Tan Mo, only Liu Yidi from Hua University and Wu Yuanbo from Beijing University could be seen in the first row.
Liu Yidi was in second place this time. He received one gold, three silver, and one bronze medal.
Wu Yuanbo was in third place. He received three silver and two bronze medals.
Not taking into account the gold, silver, and bronze medals, the three of them were the ones who received the most medals in terms of number.
In the second row, there were medals from the second-tier team.
As many of them had participated in the team competition.
Therefore, it was impossible to arrange the seats according to the team. After all, there were students who had good results in the individual competition.
When the time comes for the team to receive their prize, they would stand up and gather on the stage.
Tan Mo, Liu Yidi, and Yuan Bowen sat together.
Everyone sat according to the nametags on the back of the chairs. It would not be messy.
Tan Mo found that in the first row of seats, besides the principals of the schools, there were also a few English names.
Sensing Tan Mo’s gaze, Yuan Bowen explained, “Students with excellent results in the math competition can be invited by world-class famous schools. These few are the representatives of those schools. As for which schools they represent, I’m not too sure.”
“However, after the award ceremony, if any of us is selected, we will probably be called to talk to.” Yuan Bowen said in a low voice.
Tan Mo was about to say something when she heard the students sitting in the row behind them discussing.
“How many students do you think will be invited this year?”
“The first two rows of us will probably be invited.”
“It depends on which schools invite us. These schools also have rankings.” The student who spoke had a complicated look in his eyes. “Harvard will probably only invite the three students in the first row.”
“I would like to go to MIT. MIT is not inferior to other schools in terms of specialty.”
Someone sneered and said: “The people in the last few rows are also talking about it, but with their results, why would a famous school take the initiative to recruit them? What kind of dream is that. It’s just a few medals here and a certificate to add to their resume.”
The voices of these people sounded unfamiliar. They definitely were not from Beijing University.
Tan Mo turned around and did not recognize any of them. Instead, she saw Ji Jiayi in the seat near the aisle.
This time, Ji Jiayi kept a low profile and they did not notice any of Ji Jiayi’s opinions.
Tan Mo remembered Ji Jiayi’s voice. If he spoke, she would be able to recognize him.
However, she did not recognize any of the people she had just chatted with.
However, when she thought about the list of winners this time, she realized that most of them were from Beijing University and Hua University.
Only a few of them were from other schools.
It was already considered pretty good for a school to have one.
If they were so scattered, they would not be able to gather together to chat.
Furthermore, the few winners from other schools didn’t have many medals, so they wouldn’t be able to sit in the second row.
The few people sitting behind her were not from Beijing University, so they were naturally from Hua University.
Tan Mo quickly concluded.
With this thought in mind, Tan Mo turned to look at Liu Yidi.
Even the students from Beijing University were not so arrogant, but the students from Hua University were still as arrogant as ever.
Liu Yidi: “…”
She also felt that the words of the few people behind her were a little too much.
She could not help but glare at them and give them a warning.
Tan Mo asked Wu Yuanbo again, “Do the students who performed well in previous years also want to go to these schools?”
“Yes, most of them went abroad to further their studies.” Wu Yuanbo nodded.
“Then…” Tan Mo asked again, “How many of them came back after they went abroad to study?”
“I’m not very sure about the exact number, but according to my understanding, nine out of ten didn’t come back.” Wu Yuanbo said in a low voice..
