Chapter 268: Interview

"Oh, so, no matter what, see a good one, and try to recover it as much as possible, if you can't, we have to figure out what went wrong, right?" Seeing that his cousin couldn't answer, Dong Yong smiled and said.

"Well, okay, make an appointment to tell me and I'll go with you." Knowing that what his cousin said was reasonable, Dong Liang didn't raise the bar anymore, after all, he also wanted to know why Sun Dong took Tan Xiaotian to the Jiangdu Chess Academy.

"Heh, I'm here to understand the situation, not to retaliate and use force, why don't you go, now there are so many things in the chess academy, we have to leave one person in charge." Dong Yong said with a smile.

"I don't care, I don't feel happy when I don't see that guy, you can ask Shopkeeper Cui to make an appointment for the meeting in the evening." Dong Liang stalked his neck and said, "I'm unreasonable."

"Uh, hehe, okay, what an adult, and you still play with a child's temper, I really can't stand you." Dong Liang's attitude was resolute, and Dong Yong was not easy to refuse, so he shook his head helplessly, and he had no choice but to agree.

At the same time, the dean's office of the Jiangdu Chess Academy is overcrowded, to say that Zheng Jigong's office can no longer be considered small, but at this time there is a feeling of not enough, Zheng Jigong, Zheng Jifu, Li Qiusheng, Jacky Cheung, and Zhao Yanwu can usually be seen is actually there, and the reason why they all stay here is a child who is only six years old.

Sitting on the chair in the middle of the room, stared at by the eyes of a large number of people around him, Tan Xiaotian felt a little uneasy, especially the middle-aged scribe sitting on the second chair on his left hand, his eyes were blazing, but his face was gloomy like water, giving people a sense of arrogance, although there were many people in the room, it was impossible to ignore.

Sun Dong also sat next to him, and he was also a little apprehensive in his heart - Tan Xiaotian did not participate in the admissions interview two days ago, and he had to make up for this link today. Although he knew very well that this was just a passing scene, he still couldn't stop worrying, afraid that Tan Xiaotian's performance today was not ideal, which would disappoint Zheng Jigong and regret the conditions he agreed.

"Hehe, little one, what's your name?" Zheng Jigong asked with a smile - with the respect of the head of the first academy, he personally presided over the student admission interview, not to mention that in the Jiangdu Chess Academy, it is probably the first time in the entire Yangzhou area, and the degree of attention can be imagined. Seeing that the child was nervous, his tone was very kind, which was completely different from his usual appearance when facing the staff of the chess academy.

"Tan Xiaotian." raised his head and glanced at it quickly, then turned his head to look at Sun Dong next to him, and saw that Sun Dong gave him an encouraging look, Tan Xiaotian turned back and replied.

"Hehe, how old are you now?" Zheng Jigong asked again.

"Six." Tan Xiaotian replied.

"Oh, did you go to school?" Zheng Jigong asked.

"Yes." Tan Xiaotian asked and answered, obviously still very restrained.

"How long have you been studying? Who is the teacher? Zheng Jigong then asked—he deliberately asked something simpler. Questions that are easy to answer in order to help remove the tension of the little ones.

"Well, I've been studying for more than half a year, and I learned it from Teacher Yuan." Tan Xiaotian replied after thinking about it.

"Teacher Yuan. Hehe, what did he teach you? Zheng Jigong asked again.

"Well, "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names". "Thousand Character Essays", "Analects", "Mencius". "University", "The Mean", with his fingers, Tan Xiaotian counted them the same, seeing that ten fingers were not enough, everyone in the room except Sun Dong was full of surprise, and no one dared to believe it.

"Wait, do you mean that Mr. Yuan even taught you "University" and "The Mean"? Can you read it? Zheng Jigong hurriedly stopped Tan Xiaotian, who was still talking, and asked curiously-Learning chess in the chess academy also has cultural learning, if Tan Xiaotian has reached this level, then not only Go, but also culture, should a special teacher be appointed to tutor him?

"I don't understand, but Mr. Yuan said, I'm still young now, and I definitely can't understand the truth in those books, so I don't care if I can read it or not, just write it down first." Shaking his head, Tan Xiaotian replied.

"Just write it down? , do you mean that you can memorize all of this? Zheng Jigong breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this is normal, otherwise wouldn't he become a monster? But if you think about it again, it's hard to just be able to memorize, not to mention six-year-olds, many teenage children may not be able to do it!

"Hmm." Tan Xiaotian nodded vigorously.

Really? Zheng Jigong muttered to himself in his heart, this child's intelligence is something he has never seen before, and that Teacher Yuan is really strange when he says it, he actually teaches a six-year-old child four books and five classics, which makes the person who takes over in the future still alive.

"He didn't brag, he memorized a paragraph of "University" in front of everyone the day before yesterday." Tan Jifu leaned close to his eldest brother's ear and whispered to testify.

Zheng Jigong nodded, he believed the words of the second brother, and even if it was an exaggeration, Tan Xiaotian was not able to memorize all the four books and five classics, but it was also a very remarkable thing to memorize one or two of them, at least it was impossible for him to do it at the same age.

"Dean Zheng, you have the ability to never forget every day, if you don't believe it, you can take an article and try it casually." The better Tan Xiaotian behaved, the more Sun Dong felt that he had face, and seeing that Zheng Jigong seemed to be a little suspicious, he reminded him loudly.

"What? Unforgettable? Hehe, this must be seen. Well, that's it. Zheng Jigong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said excitedly, took out a book from the desk casually, turned a page casually, and motioned for Jacky Cheung to show it to Tan Xiaotian.

Jacky Cheung unfolded the book in front of Tan Xiaotian, "Every day, are there any words you don't know?" He asked, smiling.

Tan Xiaotian's eyes moved up and down quickly, and after looking at it from beginning to end, he shook his head, "No, I recognize everything." Then he replied.

"Okay, then you can start remembering now. Remember as much as you can and remember as much as you want. Jacky Cheung reminded - to be honest, it is not easy for a six-year-old child to be able to recognize a page full of words, far exceeding the average level of children of this age.

"No, I'm done." Tan Xiaotian shook his head and replied, saying that there was no need to watch it a second time.

No way? Are you kidding? Is it really unforgettable, just scan it with your eyes and remember it all? Although that page is estimated to be about 100 words, which is not a lot, I am afraid that none of the people present dare to pat their chests and guarantee that they can memorize it word for word, right?

"Really?" Zhang Xueyou reminded heartily.

"No need." Tan Xiaotian shook his head again, full of confidence. (To be continued......)
