Chapter 79: Of Which I Have Already Informed You!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It was common for Lu Jia’er to hear the inner voices of others clearly. In the workplace there are many conflicts of interest, which don’t need to be elaborated on. Love is no exception. You fall in love with someone, because he or she can fulfill one of your psychological or physical needs. So it is believed that to love is not to love someone but to love the feeling created by him or her.
Knocking on the door of the office of the department director, Lu Jia’er entered energetically, “Professor!”
“Have a seat, please!” Professor Han Yi kindly greeted her as soon as he saw it was her.
After Lu Jia’er sat down, Professor Han poured a cup of tea for her. Even if he hadn’t spoken yet, Lu Jia’er knew the purpose of him calling for her.
“I rarely see you except in class, Jia’er, are you busy recently?” asked Professor Han Yi
“Kind of!” replied Lu Jia’er calmly. “I have joined the R&D team of BUA Technology, of which I already informed you!”
“Yes, I have heard of it!” After that, Professor Han Yi sipped at the cup of tea and said, “I have you here today to talk about you being a graduate advisor in the second half of the year! What do you think of it?”
“Professor, my professorship is already an exception. If I became a graduate adviser with another exception made, I am afraid that you might be accused of being partial!” Lu Jia’er smiled.
“I don’t care about such an accusation. If they think so, then they are just being jealous.” Professor Han replied.
Lu Jia’er smiled gratefully. Professor Han had been extremely nice to her over the past years, but Professor Han hardly thought so, as he was indeed proud to have such an outstanding student as Lu Jia’er. Lu Jia’er was well aware of his favor. Consequently, when she was given job offers from a number of domestic and foreign universities, she chose B University without hesitation, and became a member of the teaching team led by Professor Han.
“Professor, I remember that you often quote an idiom. To go beyond is as bad as to fall short!” Lu Jia’er smiled.
Professor Han Yi also laughed. “My words were a bit extreme, but given your achievements, I still believe that success is never achieved by favoritism or luck!”
Lu Jia’er would definitely remember for a lifetime what Professor Han Yi had just said, because this was not only a recognition of her “natural talent” by Professor Han, but also a relief to her spirit due to her special skill of listening to others’ thoughts.
“Professor, I am beholden to you for your consistent kindness. I will follow the arrangements made by the university and you!” Lu Jia’er accepted it, because she had intended to lead a team independently.
“You have made the right choice!” Professor Han Yi smiled happily as he saw Lu Jia’er had accepted the assignment, and then he said, “Although you have been a professor since only a few years ago, your competence is well recognized, and you have now participated in the BUA project. I suggest that you independently lead a team. Your team can conduct academic research on related subjects as well as take on part of your work. You may kill two birds with one stone. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?”
“Thank you for your valuable suggestion!” Lu Jia’er nodded.
“Then it’s a deal. Send in your application for the project as soon as possible!” said Professor Han Yi.
“Okay!” said Lu Jia’er.
