Professor Yao did not mention the fact that Tan Mo's level of competency far exceeded the three questions prepared by Professor Guo.
Although that was the truth, he was afraid he might make Tan Mo sound much too impressive. If Tan Mo did not win the competition, he would have felt guilty for making her a laughing stock.
The boy who spoke earlier said again, "But Tan Mo is a student of the Department of Finance, and she's already famous in both the Department of Chinese Literature and Department of History. If she participates in the math competition as well, what would other people think? Is there no one capable left in the Department of Mathematics? Does the entire Beijing University have to rely on Tan Mo alone to bring honor to the school?"
"Woah." Professor Guo looked at the boy with a smile. "Are you that confident in Tan Mo that you think she will win the award for sure?"
The boy hesitated.
Was that what he thought?
