Chapter 241: Scholarships

The longer she knew them, the better she knew them. She had just told them that she was the scriptwriter for "Legend of Wei and Jin". They were astonished, but none of them blamed her for keeping it from them once they knew the reason why.

"I know that you are afraid of trouble. You always try to stay out of things, but things seem to come to you by themselves. I guess you are the busiest one out of all of us." Wang Yuemu laughed.

The more one is afraid of trouble, the more work one gets...

"Legend of Wei and Jin" was the main topic of discussion throughout the entire summer. Even after summer ended and classes started, Tan Mo could still hear her classmates discussing it.

Time passed by slowly...and it was summer, then suddenly autumn was coming to an end, and winter was approaching.

The day that the scholarship awards list was finished, Counselor Hong came into the classroom with the list of scholarship winners, and he said, "This year's scholarship winners list is out. It is based on the grades from your previous two semesters, extracurricular activities at school and outside of school, and any awards and nominations you've earned have also been taken into account."

Counselor Hong laughed as he said, "This time, our class did very well. There are two scholarship winners in our class, which is a good portion of the total."

"First is the national-level scholarship, only given to one student in our school, and that student is in our class." Counselor Hong smiled brightly and said, "Tan Mo, congratulations."

The other students looked toward Tan Mo and congratulated her. Lin Fuxi was the only one who didn't speak. Her head was down, and there was fury in her eyes.

"Next is the top university scholarship, and the winner is Tan Mo again, congratulations," Counselor Hong said. "Everyone knows that at our school, the national scholarship doesn't coincide with our university scholarship. Also, only those who have achieved a university scholarship are considered for the national-level scholarship, and the best of the university scholarship winners is chosen for the national scholarship."

Everyone nodded in compliance; they knew that already.

After receiving their acceptance letters from Beijing University, everyone had already done plenty of research to understand the criteria they needed to meet to win a scholarship.

Of course, that was before they knew Tan Mo's level of expertise. After they found out about her, they were very clear in their hearts. They were out of luck for the scholarships.

Lin Fuxi was the only one who had challenged herself to win a scholarship. She lost every single time, but she surely had determination.

Her determination was touching.

Counselor Hong continued, "Next is Lin Fuxi."

Lin Fuxi came back to attention and looked at Counselor Hong with anticipation.

Originally, Counselor Hong had thought that it took Lin Fuxi more determination and effort than anyone else to come here: to leave a small suburb to come to the city of Beijing. He had had a good first impression of Lin Fuxi and had tried to the best of his ability to provide her with some more opportunities.

Which is why he had chosen her as the temporary head of class. If she had done a good job, then in normal circumstances, she should have been the head of class for the next term. But things didn't turn out as expected. When the formal head of class election took place, no one voted for her.
