Chapter 111: I’m Still Young “Actually, one’s real academic strength will show after school officially starts,” someone said. “Our classmates from all over the country had different exam questions, and it is impossible to accurately do a ranking now. When we officially start school, in college courses, everything will be clear.”
“Yes, Beijing University’s high admission cutoff score and high requirements aren’t without reason. If your scores aren’t up to standards but you insist on enrolling, you wouldn’t understand the courses, and, in the end, you wouldn’t end up learning anything.” Someone nodded in agreement.
Lin Fuxi looked at Tan Mo, who had already sat down.
She would like to see how capable Tan Mo was when she really started her studies at Beijing University.
After the other students introduced themselves, with Tan Mo’s photographic memory, she remembered all the students’ information.
At this time, Teacher Hong said, “We need to have a class monitor now. Because everyone isn’t familiar with each other, there is no way to use the voting method. Those who want to be the class monitor should stand up and introduce themselves. Not like you did just now, but. instead, speak about your past experiences of arranging class activities in primary, middle, and high school.
“Our current class monitor won’t be picked by grades. Of course, your grades are all very good, so you don’t need to use your grades to prove yourselves. The class monitor will be responsible for conveying information about all kinds of school activities to you all, etc., and will be also responsible for organizing various activities. In fact, to put it bluntly, the class monitor will be the butler of the class and will be responsible for many things other than studying, so this isn’t a very easy position.” Teacher Hong smiled, “Everyone should think it through clearly. Those who feel that they are competent enough and have similar job experience can sign up at their own initiative.”
After Teacher Hong finished speaking, unexpectedly, all the students in the class except Tan Mo stood up.
Tan Mo knew that, according to Teacher Hong, it sounded like the class monitor had to be in charge of many things, but wouldn’t that be a chance to exercise one’s management abilities?
Besides, this was a class monitor at Beijing University.
Moreover, for new students, this was probably the best opportunity to get information about various activities of the student council and the school.
The class monitor didn’t sound like a useful position, but it is actually a stepping stone.
It would look good on one’s future resume.
It seems that after studying hard to get admitted to Beijing University, they now have to work hard to get a good job in the future.

Tan Mo shook her head while thinking that compared to them she was really unambitious.
She had her family, so she didn’t need to rely on these kind of things to move up the ladder.
But as well as that, she really couldn’t be bothered.
Wasn’t it much better to take things slow and easy?
Because everyone but Tan Mo stood up, Tan Mo seemed out of place.
Teacher Hong hadn’t expected everyone to be so enthusiastic.
She thought there would be two or three, four or five at most, and then they could choose based on each person’s experience.
Things had become difficult now.
“Tan Mo, are you not running for the election?” Teacher Hong felt that since there were already so many people, the addition of Tan Mo wouldn’t make a difference.
“No way, I’m still young.” Tan Mo had a cute expression on her face as she said, “I’m only 15 years old, so I don’t think I can lead these big brothers and sisters.”
The classmates who were called big brothers and sisters by Tan Mo: “…”
Although what Tan Mo had said was the truth, they still felt crushed.
They’d forgotten that in spite of being the top scorer on the college entrance examination, Tan Mo wasn’t all that outstanding since Beijing University had tons of top scorers on the college entrance examination after all. But the point was that she was only 15 years old!
Of course, Beijing University had many prodigies admitted at the age of 13 or 14.
But at least they weren’t in their class.

They couldn’t help looking at Lin Fuxi.
City B had an advantage in terms of the cutoff admission score, and the difficulty of their exam papers was really hard to gauge.
But she could get such a score when she was 15 years old…?
Lin Fuxi had turned pale, and she bit her lip.
If she…if she had had the connections like Tan Mo, it wouldn’t have been impossible.
Her family’s financial conditions were limited, and their province’s educational resources were limited.
Under these limited conditions, she had been admitted to Beijing University. If she had been given a better environment, she wouldn’t have turned out any worse than Tan Mo.
“Since everyone is interested, it would take a long time for everyone to speak one by one.” Teacher Hong considered it for a while and said, “I might as well just choose a person.”
Her eyes glanced around among the classmates before she said, “Lin Fuxi.”
Lin Fuxi looked at Teacher Hong in surprise.
Everyone else sat down. Then Teacher Hong said, “Lin Fuxi, please try to be the acting class monitor first. The probation period is two months.”
Teacher Hong looked at the others and said, “Two months should be enough time for everyone to get to know each other. Then there will be more voting, and the class monitor will be the one who gains the most votes. Because there is no ranking standard, I will use the scholarship as the standard. This time, there were only three full scholarships given by Beijing University, and Lin Fuxi got one of them.”
Ms. Hong knew that Tan Mo had also gotten a full scholarship.
But Tan Mo didn’t want to be the class monitor, so Teacher Hong didn’t say anything.
“The full scholarship awarded by the school can be regarded as indirect proof that Lin Fuxi is excellent enough,” Teacher Hong said.

There were still people who were dissatisfied, but when they heard this, they became convinced.
Capabilities spoke louder than words.
“Lin Fuxi, you are that impressive?”
“There were only three places in total, which is equivalent to saying that Lin Fuxi is in the top three in our class.”
“The results of the college entrance examination cannot be used as a ranking standard because of the different versions of the exam papers, but a full scholarship indeed can.”
“Lin Fuxi is the only one in our class to receive a full scholarship?” Someone asked Lin Fuxi directly, “Is that so?”
“I should be.” Lin Fuxi didn’t know, but she guessed it.
If Tan Mo had one, she would have already said it.
If she didn’t say it, it meant she didn’t have it.
“She should be.” Someone analyzed, “There are only three places in total, so how could it be that all three were in our class?”
“Yes, even two out of three seems impossible.”
Lin Fuxi was feeling very smug at this time, and she couldn’t help but say, “I wonder if Tan Mo has it? She was the top scorer in City B.”
Someone murmured, “Getting a perfect score is useless since the school has its own criteria for judgment.”
“It seems that the perfect score pales in comparison to Lin Fuxi’s score.”
“And Lin Fuxi’s science exam questions were more difficult.”
“Lin Fuxi, since you’re so good at science, why didn’t you major in science? Won’t our country be missing a future scientific talent?”
All of a sudden, everyone became uninterested in Tan Mo, the 15-year-old perfect scorer.
“Don’t compare me with Tan Mo. It’s not nice.” Lin Fuxi whispered, “Nobody would feel good after being outdone by others.”
