As soon as Dean Fang finished speaking, the people below started whispering to each other.
Wen Shan leaned against Professor Zhou and whispered, “The dean looks so miserable.”
Professor Zhou glared at her. Wen Shan retreated a little with a cheeky smile.
“It hasn’t been a month since If announced that he would be the dean of the School of Physics, and he has already set off two fires. There are our comrades from the media here, and I shouldn’t air our dirty laundry, but I’ll say it anyway because this might not be a problem in other higher education institutions. The first fire—class hours,” announced Dean Fang as he looked down at the row of professors whose eyes were somewhat burning. Fortunately, he only saw three or four of them. The probability of this was not too high.
Wen Shan straightened up in her seat involuntarily.
“When the professor has something to attend to, he invited his teaching assistant or students to substitute one or two of his classes. It’s no big deal. After all, who hasn’t had emergencies cropping up once in a while? Yet, there are always a few professors who have never shown up in the classroom all year round. But at the end of the year, his class hours’ attendance rate is still full.”
Wen Shan subconsciously looked at Professor Lin who sat beside her. She did not know where Nalan Chunbo had hit him yesterday. In any case, his injury was not the type that could be seen from the outside. However, fear was probably not the reason behind his trembling body at this moment.
“This is If’s first fire. Frankly speaking, I feel quite the embarrassment considering he managed to tackle this issue the first thing after he came,” Principal Fang said with a self-deprecating smile. “A school is a place for knowledge and education. Yet, these people who call themselves teachers are doing things that bring harm to the students, and still, we think that it’s not a big deal. If others can’t see it, then it’s fine. This goes against our conscience.”
The people below the stage were whispering. Even the principal had an unpleasant expression on his face.
“Then, what about the second fire? Everyone knows about the professor’s reimbursement recently so I don’t have to mention how big the news is. However, this fire doesn’t seem to have burnt brightly enough. As a matter of fact, I say that If came from a well-intentioned place, but some people twisted the truth, turning this fire into an evil fire.”
“Dean Fang, that’s not right, isn’t it? Then, why did the new dean set off the two fires if not to use his official position for personal gain?” Professor Yin, who was not invited to the event, entered the hall from the outside. Perhaps it was due to anger, his aged face looked malevolent.
When Wen Shan saw Righteous Yin, she tensed up in rage. She looked as though she could explode at any moment.
“Sit properly. Sit properly. Don’t jump out like a little monkey and embarrass yourself.” Professor Zhou held Wen Shan down on her seat so that she would be properly seated. “Don’t worry, he won’t be able to escape this time.”
Although angry, Wen Shan seated herself properly. When she thought about how she would be able to see If soon, her anger dissipated.
However, Wen Shan turned around involuntarily to see Nalan Chunbo, who was already sitting at the far end. Only then did she feel truly relieved.
Nalan Chunbo returned her glance. When she turned around, he curled the corners of his lips slightly, as if to reassure her that with him there for her, everything would be fine.
When Wen Shan saw Nalan Chunbo, her tensed body relaxed. Professor Zhou looked back and chuckled. “You recognized him from so far away. You have quite an impressive eye there.”
Wen Shan responded with a small hmph. Of course, she could recognize him no matter where he was.
Wen Shan lowered her gaze and started typing on her phone.
Shanshan: [If will be here soon.]
Papa Nalan: [You’re that happy, huh?]
Shanshan: [Happy. Very very happy.]
Shanshan: [But Papa Nalan is still my love.]
Nalan Chunbo sat in an inconspicuous seat at the back, where he could see her in front of him.
