Chapter 115: Tang Feng Refuses to Cooperate with the International Mathematicians Association! (Part 2/3)

“This is what truly defines a genius! Some geniuses, when talked about, can only be considered as having specialized talents! Their lack of comprehensive abilities is very severe. If it weren’t for competition-based admissions, let alone getting into Jingcheng University, even ordinary key universities might be out of reach.”

“We must all make an effort to win! If our families knew we won the championship, they would definitely be very happy.”

“And my girlfriend. She has always been comforting me, saying that losing a match doesn’t matter.”

“For us, this is a battle of honor! The folks from the sports college are definitely rubbing their hands together, waiting to take us down! Many students are also waiting to laugh at Tang Feng! We absolutely cannot let these things happen!” Gao Cheng’s expression was very solemn.

“Don’t worry! We will give it our all! Not just for Tang Feng, but for ourselves as well!”

“Let’s go!”

Soon after, Tang Feng arrived in front of Su Xiaoli.

“What have you been up to?” Seeing some sweat on his forehead, Su Xiaoli couldn’t help but ask.

“I just went to the basketball court to play a game,” Tang Feng replied.

“Today, during class, I heard quite a few people talking about you. Tang Feng, you must not put too much pressure on yourself,” Su Xiaoli said, filled with concern.

“Don’t worry! I’m not under any pressure!” Tang Feng said with a slight smile.

“Now, everyone thinks that our mathematics department is no match for the sports college. Yu Li and I even got into an argument with these people,” Su Xiaoli said.

“Don’t argue with these people. It’s not worth getting upset over. Once the results of the match are out, they will naturally shut up,” Tang Feng said, gently stroking her hair.

“But the way they speak is really annoying! I didn’t expect such a good school to have so many people who love stirring up trouble,” Su Xiaoli sighed.

“People are varied, and it has nothing to do with the school. Many just can’t stand to see others do well. You shouldn’t pay attention to them. Treat their words like wind past your ears. Otherwise, the more you care, the more they’ll gloat,” Tang Feng comforted her.

“Tang Feng, why are you so level-headed? Aren’t you angry at all?” Su Xiaoli was very puzzled.

“Getting angry is torturing oneself. I just think it’s unnecessary. I believe it’s better to improve oneself. This way, the voices of doubt will become fewer and fewer,” Tang Feng responded.

“That makes sense,” Su Xiaoli nodded thoughtfully.

“Let’s go eat!” Tang Feng invited.

The two went to the cafeteria.

Due to Tang Feng joining the mathematics department basketball team, and the bold statements he made, his popularity surged once again.

Many students’ eyes were on them.

Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli got their meals and then sat down to eat calmly and slowly, as if no one else was around.

After eating, Tang Feng escorted Su Xiaoli back to her apartment and then returned to the dormitory to start planning training for the team members.

“Boss, did the sun rise from the west today? Why are you back so early?” Su Ming and others came back from outside and were surprised to see Tang Feng busy working.

“I came back because I have things to do. Where have you guys been?” Tang Feng asked.

“We went to the internet cafe for a while,” Su Ming replied.

“Don’t we have computers in the dorm? Why go to an internet cafe?” Tang Feng continued to ask.

“The atmosphere in the dorm isn’t good for gaming. There are more people in the internet cafe, and we can form teams to play together,” Zhang Hao answered.

“Boss, when will you come with us to the internet cafe for a few games?” Zhu Zihan negotiated.

“I can’t these days! I have a ton of things to do,” Tang Feng responded.

“Boss, what are you doing?” Su Ming asked, seeing the training plan on the table.

“This is the training plan I’ve made for the basketball team members! Starting tomorrow, they will train according to the plan I’ve devised,” Tang Feng answered.

“Boss, this is too professional! You’re not really thinking of using this lineup to compete in the college basketball league, are you?” Zhu Zihan was quite shocked.

“Didn’t I say it yesterday? I believe that as long as these players train seriously, under my leadership, they can definitely win the championship in the college basketball tournament and make their college careers memorable!” Tang Feng was full of confidence.

“Boss, can you train us too? Honestly, we also want to show off in front of everyone and attract some girls’ attention,” Su Ming requested.

“Exactly! Boss, we also want to enjoy the feeling of being the center of attention,” Zhu Zihan’s eyes lit up.

“No problem! If there are any activities in the department, you can also participate,” Tang Feng readily agreed.

“Long live the boss!” Su Ming and the others became excited upon hearing this.

“I’ll make a training schedule for you guys later. You should start by improving your physical fitness,” Tang Feng said.

“Improve physical fitness? Boss, you’re not thinking of making us run in the morning, are you?” Zhang Hao couldn’t help guessing.

“Running is just one aspect, there’s also strength training. Otherwise, with your current physical condition, not to mention playing a full game, you probably couldn’t last even half a game,” Tang Feng answered.

“Boss, I think I’ll pass. I really can’t get up early in the morning! Pretend I didn’t say anything!” Su Ming quickly waved his hand.

He didn’t want to get up before dawn now that he was finally in college!

“I’ll continue browsing forums,” Zhu Zihan said, opening his computer.

“Look at you guys, all so lacking in ambition,” Tang Feng said, somewhat helplessly.

Soon, he finished planning the training schedule for the team members.

Then, he put it in a bag to give to Gao Cheng tomorrow.

Afterward, he texted Su Xiaoli.

The two of them chatted back and forth, being affectionate for quite a while.

Tang Feng found that when texting Su Xiaoli, he would occasionally make jokes.

But in person, most of these jokes were difficult to say.

He thought about it and figured this might be the subtlety of Chinese people.

Some things are hard to say face to face, but when put into written form or text messages, they feel natural.

After chatting for who knows how long, Tang Feng dozed off.

Before six in the morning, his phone rang.

He saw that the call was from Gao Mingzhou.

“Mr. Gao!” he quickly pressed the answer button and greeted.

“Did I disturb your rest? I had no choice. I just received a notice that the people from the International Mathematicians Association have already arrived at the airport. They will be at our school in an hour,” Gao Mingzhou said.

“Weren’t we scheduled for eight o’clock?” Tang Feng asked.
