Chapter 662: Chapter 334: The New Professor!_2
The larger the school, the more people who try to blend in.
Some professors are just nominally holding their positions, spending some money to get a sponsorship. If they were really asked to teach, they probably couldn’t even spell the words in the textbook.
"Who is this professor? Why is he reporting with the freshmen? Could he be an amateur?"
A young man with gold-rimmed glasses asked, his eyes full of suspicion.
"Our School of Frontiers in Biology hasn’t hired a new professor for many years. Why did one suddenly come now?"
"I heard this professor is very young, not even 30 years old, and has already made significant scientific achievements. The school spent a lot to get him here from the Imperial Capital."
The gossiping woman said excitedly.
"Oh right, I remember his course topic is research on Life Spiritual Qi and the future direction of the human body."
"What kind of research topic is that? I’ve never heard of it."
The man with the gold-rimmed glasses questioned again.
This time, no one responded to him.
Everyone stared blankly at the gossiping woman, their eyes filled with reluctance.
"Not even 30 years old, and already a key figure for the school?"
They were almost insane with jealousy.
Comparing with others can really drive one crazy.
When they were 30, many were still assistants in laboratories. Getting an office before 40 was already an achievement.
But now, this person wasn’t even 30 and had already become the head of a major research project and a key figure for the school.
Such professionals have a limitless future.
"How come we’ve never heard of such an impressive person before?"
Someone muttered.
Ruan Yunyun listened quietly on the side, listlessly looking up at the crowd.
They discussed these things because they had opportunities for further advancement, while she was already blacklisted by the school and had no right to discuss such things.
Maybe after today, she wouldn’t even be qualified as an assistant lecturer and would only become a school handyman.
The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt. Just as she was quietly shedding tears, she suddenly heard footsteps approaching.
She turned around and saw her old adversary who had exposed her, the vice-director who always stared lecherously at her, entering the room with a young man.
"Everyone, stop what you’re doing. Let me introduce a new colleague. This is the renowned new professor our School of Life Sciences has invited, Mr. Lin Beichen."
The nearly 50-year-old vice-director, who looked extremely sleazy, had a face full of wrinkles when he smiled, resembling a rotten chrysanthemum.
"Mr. Lin used to work at Imperial Capital University and has very close relations with the government. It was no easy task for Huadu University to invite him here, so make sure to cherish this opportunity."
Everyone in the office stood up, staring at Lin Beichen in shock.
"God, am I seeing this right? This kid doesn’t even look 20, let alone 30! How could such a young kid be the professor our school went to great lengths to invite?"
They yelled angrily in their hearts, feeling like countless "WTFs" were whizzing by.
Meanwhile, a few female teachers in the corner had their eyes glowing, almost blinding them.
Despite Lin Beichen consciously relieving himself of the Withering and Flourishing physique, the nourishment from Spiritual Qi had long merged with his body and appearance.
Even though he considered himself ordinary, compared to the Withering and Flourishing physique, to ordinary people, Lin Beichen was still a handsome man.
Even Ruan Yunyun forgot to pity herself for a moment, staring blankly at Lin Beichen.
Ruan Yunyun had always been confident in her looks, especially the great contrast between her figure and appearance, earning her the title of the baby-faced beauty of Huadu University.
Men chasing her could nearly form a reinforced platoon, but even she felt ashamed under Lin Beichen’s gaze.
This man’s eyes were so beautiful; did such a man really exist in the world?
"Ruan Yunyun, what are you looking at?"
The vice-director’s cold voice woke Ruan Yunyun from her daze.
"I remember you haven’t officially been appointed yet. From today on, you will be Mr. Lin’s assistant!
Remember, Mr. Lin is a key professor for the school. No matter what he asks for, you cannot refuse. Take good care of him, understood?"
The vice-director said with a cold face.
"Huh? Me as an assistant?"
Ruan Yunyun asked, bewildered.
The director cast a cold glance at her before turning and walking out.
In the office, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do as they gazed at Lin Beichen.
Ruan Yunyun quickly rose, letting Lin Beichen sit in her seat, then poured him a cup of hot water and placed it carefully beside him, looking very much like a little secretary.
The young men nearby hadn’t even witnessed Lin Beichen’s academic prowess yet, but they were already driven mad with jealousy by his treatment.
Ruan Yunyun, the great beauty, had always been their unattainable object of desire.
They said proximity allows one to get the advantage, but even before they could approach Ruan Yunyun, an outsider had snatched her away. This was outrageous!
The gossiping woman looked at Lin Beichen and cautiously asked:
"Mr. Lin, you look well-maintained. We heard you’re 30 years old, is that true? We also heard you came from Imperial Capital University. Are you a native of Imperial Capital? Do you have any family there, and are you married or do you have a girlfriend?"
The gossiping woman asked a series of questions like an interrogation.
"Sister Zhou, why are you asking these things?"
Ruan Yunyun felt anxious, but her ears perked up.
"Sister Zhou is joking. I’m not a native of the Imperial Capital, and I’m only in my twenties, but I do have a girlfriend."
Lin Beichen responded lightly, neither coldly nor too warmly.
The gossiping woman was satisfied, chuckled, and secretly gave Ruan Yunyun a knowing look, feeling at a loss.
She had asked a bunch of questions just to cover for the last one.
Ruan Yunyun was a good girl who had yet to find a partner. Now, finally, someone with a great future had come, but he was already taken.
She could only sigh. Good men were indeed rare, already snatched up by other women.
"Mr. Lin, my place is too small to sit comfortably. How about I take you to your office?"
Ruan Yunyun quickly suggested, afraid her colleagues might ask more questions and offend Lin Beichen.
Lin Beichen nodded.
After they left, a chorus of wails erupted in the office.
"This is over, I thought I had a chance, but who knew a Stable Cleaner would come out of nowhere and steal the show."
A young lecturer lamented, quietly weeping.
Actually, Ruan Yunyun wasn’t extraordinarily stunning, but she had distinctive features. The label of a baby-faced beauty fit her perfectly.
She was petite and delicate, easy to topple, and being a teacher, her softness always aroused men’s protective instincts.
Such a woman was always in demand wherever she went.
Someone stared coldly out the window, seeing Lin Beichen and Ruan Yunyun standing close together, their face showing envy.
"Who knows if this guy is a fraud. Do you believe someone so young could be a key professor?"
"Old Sun, you’re the most capable in our office. Aren’t you going to say something?"
As these words fell, everyone turned their eyes to the young man in a suit near the door.
Near the door, a nearly two-meter-long desk stood against the wall.
In an office where everyone only had 1.2-meter desks, this two-meter desk stood out.
The owner of this desk was Song Weiliang.
Song Weiliang, aside from Ruan Yunyun, was the most academically and professionally capable person in the office.
He graduated from a prestigious overseas university and had published several important papers. Although still an assistant, he had already secured the title of associate professor, just waiting for the process. Reportedly, in another two years, he would be promoted to full professor.
In the eyes of outsiders, Song Weiliang and Ruan Yunyun were the most compatible. Yet, out of nowhere came a Stable Cleaner who stole both Song Weiliang’s thunder and Ruan Yunyun.
With a smile on his face and silence, Song Weiliang showed a glimmer of coldness in his eyes.
