Chapter 143: 142. Staging an accident scam?

Even so, no one would connect Tang Shu the actor with Tang Shu from the research papers.

It was just because everyone assumed there was a huge gap between the two.

When the person in question returned to campus, the most frequent comment they heard was from fellow students discussing this name.

"Tsk, tsk, are there really so many people named Tang Shu in the world? To have such a coincidence!"

"Right, what a coincidence!"

"Too bad, same name but different destinies, Professor Yu’s partner is really something."

"Exactly, being able to discover the medicinal properties of Snow Soul Grass with Professor Yu, they must’ve definitely made a record at the Medical College, their future is definitely bright!"

"Being able to partner with Professor Yu in research, Mr. Tang must not be young, wonder why we never heard about him before?"

"Keeping a low profile, right? There are so many unsung heroes in research, who can guarantee everyone gets remembered?"

"Do you think if we ask Professor Yu, he would let us meet this Mr. Tang?"

"Classmate, I’m just asking you, do you dare to ask?"

"Hehe, I don’t have the guts..."

Tang Shu took out books from her backpack and placed them on the desk, just then their class leader, Zhao Haixue, walked over and deliberately stopped in front of her.

"Tang Shu."

"Is there something you need, class leader?"

"Oh sorry, the Tang Shu I’m talking about is the Mr. Tang who has had great success researching Snow Soul Grass with Professor Yu, as for you... pfft, a minor eighteen-tier celebrity, you’re not trying to piggyback their credibility, are you?"

Ever since the midterms, where Tang Shu forcefully clinched the top spot in the grade, Zhao Haixue had finally quieted down for a while.

But now...

Hearing this, Tang Shu twitched her lips, and her heart couldn’t help but silently curse.

"Piggybacking, with your grades, aren’t you afraid you’d have to gauge the chances of success first?"

That hit Zhao Haixue’s raw nerve.

Originally, she had confidently claimed Tang Shu wouldn’t perform well, yet the sudden face-slapping had left her holding her breath till now.

This statement seemed to remind her of the unpleasant fact that she wasn’t as good as Tang Shu.

To put it simply, with my grades, I might be able to piggyback, but what about you?

Zhao Haixue’s previously arrogant expression instantly stiffened, and she glared fiercely at her, as if there was an eternal feud between them.

"What are you so proud of? It’s just one midterm, you are still far behind that Mr. Tang, don’t think you’re unbeatable just because you share a name."

Tang Shu felt her patience wearing thin, her hands itching slightly with the urge to hit someone.

"It’s you who think you’re unbeatable, class leader. Also, I think we aren’t close, so unless it’s something about class matters, please keep your mouth shut."

The implication was clear: stop bothering me.

"Pfft—"

"Ha ha ha ha—"

When the two beauties of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department gathered, they naturally attracted quite a few glances. Since they had been talking, some classmates had been listening, and quite a few heard their exchange.

Tang Shu’s words were quite blunt, but the class leader had provoked her first, truly inviting a beating.

Finally, someone couldn’t hold back any longer.

"Class leader, is there something the advisor wants to tell us? You can’t always be talking to Tang Shu alone, we are here too!"

"Yeah, yeah, if there’s a class meeting, just notify us in the group!"

"Playing favorites isn’t going to work!"
