Chapter 119 Teacher Lin Presents Flowers
Lin Xiyin told Xiao Ruoyi that she had let go of everything.
But at night, when all was quiet, she lay alone in bed, and Pei Muye's image kept appearing in her mind.
From the first time I saw him, I fell deeply in love with him, and I suffered many grievances after marrying him.
Even though I know there are no pleasant memories from the past, I still torture myself by reliving everything from the past again and again.
If Pei Muye's affection is the same as how he treated her in the past, then does he have some misunderstanding about the word "affection"?
People say there are two things in the world that cannot be hidden.
Cough and love.
But she couldn't find the slightest clue about Pei Muye.
To say you like someone is an insult to the word "like".
She had previously suspected that Pei Muye knew about the child, which was why he came back to find her.
But after thinking about it, she guessed it wasn't true.
If Pei Muyi knew the child was his, he would probably try to take it from her directly.
We won't take such a roundabout approach to achieve our goals.
Anyway, no matter what, she will never have anything to do with Pei Muye again.
Lin Xiyin took a long time to fall asleep.
The next morning, after breakfast, she took Aunt Zhao and Lin Youxing to the early education class.
The little one is adapting well, but Aunt Zhao is still with him all day. I wonder how things will be in a few days.
After returning from the early childhood education class, Lin Xiyin went to Ocean University of China.
After much deliberation, she decided to stay and teach at Ocean University.
Her academic qualifications, experience, and abilities are all sufficient. Putting aside everything else, the few papers she published during her doctoral studies alone are enough to make her a highly sought-after student by many prestigious universities in China.
But because of Ji Mingtang, her final choice was still Ocean University.
The leaders of Ocean University were naturally overjoyed.
Ji Mingtang was even happier.
She was Ji Mingtang's last disciple and his favorite student. Now that his student has achieved success, Ji Mingtang's wish has been fulfilled.
After discussing the work arrangements with Lin Xiyin, we decided to give her two classes to teach, while focusing our other efforts on scientific research.
Ocean University has never been stingy with its research funding, so if Lin Xiyin makes any achievements, the university will benefit.
Moreover, Ocean University has never lacked sponsorship.
Many students who graduated from Ocean University of China have already made a name for themselves.
Investing in and sponsoring one's alma mater sounds prestigious and makes one appear superior.
A good reputation makes business easier.
This positive cycle has led to an increasing number of people investing in and sponsoring their alma mater.
That's true, but some projects are bottomless pits for investment, and the school won't support them unconditionally.
After all, some leaders are not so supportive if they see no hope or future, and at least won't benefit from it during their tenure.
Ji Mingtang told Lin Xiyin all about these things.
Lin Xiyin had previously devoted herself to academics and had only a superficial understanding of these matters.
After hearing what Ji Mingtang said, she understood.
She had originally prepared three projects, but after consulting with Ji Mingtang, she only submitted one.
The other two cannot be carried out for the time being.
With the work arrangements settled, Lin Xiyin got busy.
At her age, she was quite good-looking, and her first day of class caused a sensation.
In STEM fields, where there are already far more men than women, the sight of her stirred restless hearts in the young and energetic college students.
Lin Xiyin hadn't noticed at first, but Ji Mingtang reminded her later.
Her self-introduction was originally very brief.
After being reminded by the teacher, she added a few more sentences in class the next day.
Married with children.
They're married and have kids.
Many students sighed in despair.
Some of the bolder ones asked her directly, "Teacher, how old are you? You already have a child. You're not lying to us, are you?"
Lin Xiyin smiled and said, "Bring him next time so he can meet you all, his older brothers and sisters."
The students behaved themselves after that.
However, this did not diminish their affection for her.
His professional skills are impeccable, he's humorous in class, and his personal charm is off the charts.
Who wouldn't like a teacher like that?
Lin Xiyin was also very worried, fearing that her students would not understand her classes or would not be used to them.
But after seeing their reactions, I realized I had been worrying unnecessarily.
Lin Xiyin breathed a sigh of relief.
She is currently teaching undergraduate students, but in two years she will be supervising graduate students.
Lin Xiyin is also constantly improving herself.
So when she got home, after Lin Youxing went to sleep, she still had to take care of her own things.
Her phone vibrated a few times, but she ignored it.
Everyone knows she's busy, and Xiao Ruoyi hasn't contacted her these past few days.
Besides, it was late at night, and only Xiao Ruoyi would be looking for her.
After finishing her work, she took a shower and prepared for bed before checking her phone.
It was actually sent by Ji Mingtang.
Looking at the time, it's a bit late to call now.
Ji Mingtang said that an investor would be coming to the school tomorrow and asked her to help receive him and get some sponsorship for her project.
Lin Xiyin never expected that she would have this job.
However, she had heard about seeking sponsorship before.
When she was a student, she once accompanied Ji Mingtang to dinner, which left a deep impression on her.
Those businessmen who sponsor their alma mater outwardly claim to respect teachers, but once they have a bit of money, they unconsciously elevate their own status.
At that time, Lin Xiyin felt inexplicably sorry for Ji Mingtang when she saw him smiling at someone.
I never expected that she would have to take on this kind of work today.
When she woke up in the morning, she called Ji Mingtang back.
Ji Mingtang told her on the phone, "Don't feel pressured. Just go over and introduce yourself to people. We won't go out for a meal."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiyin felt much more relaxed: "I understand, teacher."
She used to dress very casually, prioritizing comfort, and mostly wore casual outfits.
But now that her role has changed and she is a teacher, she deliberately wears more mature and dignified clothes.
Today, Lin Xiyin was hosting investors, so she put on a business suit.
I wore it during my first class, and then it was relegated to the bottom of my drawer.
She feels much more at ease at school now, and she sometimes dresses more casually.
Last time I went to school, someone called me "classmate" and asked me for directions.
However, the school did not have any clear rules regarding teachers' clothing, so Lin Xiyin gradually returned to her previous dressing habits.
So I haven't worn this dress in a long time.
Lin Xiyin's figure is almost the same as before, except that her upper body is a bit fuller. When she puts on her professional attire and cinches her waist, she looks even thinner.
She went to Ji Mingtang's office first.
I had already met Ji Mingtang once when I wore this dress.
He was very satisfied: "That's more like what a teacher should do."
Previously, Lin Xiyin always wore T-shirts and jeans. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes still showed some dissatisfaction.
Today, Lin Xiyin finally seemed a bit more mature. He said, "Come home for dinner when you have time. Your teacher's wife has been nagging you about it for years."
"I know." Lin Xiyin loved and respected him like a father, and felt the long-lost fatherly love from him, so she spoke to him casually.
Around nine o'clock, the master and apprentice went downstairs to the laboratory building.
Around 9:30, around 9:20, several luxury cars parked in front of the building.
The sponsor for this event was the Department of Chemistry, so apart from Ji Mingtang and Lin Xiyin, the others were all department leaders from the Department of Chemistry.
However, there were several female college students nearby, wearing youthful dresses and each holding a bouquet of flowers.
You should go forward and present the flowers.
The driver of the first car got out quickly, then walked to the back door and opened it.
One leg came down first.
Her leather shoes were shiny, and her calves were long and slender.
There wasn't a single wrinkle on his trousers.
Just by looking at his legs, Lin Xiyin felt that this man must be very tall.
She looks very young.
She always felt that someone who had achieved success in their career and wanted to donate to their alma mater should be of advanced age.
They must be at least in their fifties or sixties.
Her gaze moved from his trousers to his shirt.
The man was dressed in a black suit, his shirt and tie impeccably tailored, as if he had just stepped down from the negotiating table at a meeting between two countries.
Very formal, very meticulous, and also very handsome.
It's Pei Muye.
Lin Xiyin was stunned.
The department head was the first to greet him: "President Pei, welcome back."
Pei Muyi also graduated from this school.
After the department head shook hands with him, he gestured for the students to present him with flowers.
The female college student smiled and handed over the flowers she was holding: "Hello, welcome!"
This is just a normal greeting ceremony; such a segment is arranged in almost every occasion.
Pei Muye did not reach out.
The female college student was somewhat embarrassed.
The person who gets called to deliver flowers must be the most attractive person in the school.
A hint of unease gradually crept onto the girl's bright face.
Then her eyes reddened, and she looked on the verge of tears.
Pei Muye's indifferent gaze swept over them, and he said in a cold voice, "Isn't this class time?"
It's class time.
But in order to welcome him, these students obviously didn't have to attend classes.
The department leaders quickly realized what was happening: "They'll go back to class right away."
Pei Muyi nodded: "A student's responsibility is to study, so class time should not be wasted."
"These flowers..." the department head said with a smile, "Please accept them, President Pei."
Pei Muye remained motionless, then raised his eyes and looked at Lin Xiyin: "Is she a student too?"
"No, no," the department head hurriedly said, "This is our youngest professor in the Chemistry Department, Professor Lin Xiyin. Professor Lin, please come over and greet President Pei."
Lin Xiyin had already adjusted her facial expression and stepped forward: "President Pei, welcome."
Pei Muye looked at her.
He had never seen her dressed like that before.
Her waist was so thin it could be encircled by one hand, and her exposed calves were fair and slender.
Pei Muyi said, "These flowers are more suitable for Teacher Lin to give to me."
Upon hearing this, the department head immediately gestured to the students to give the flowers to Lin Xiyin.
Lin Xiyin was forced to take it, and then stepped forward a few steps to hand it to Pei Muye.
He didn't say a word.
The department leaders were just about to get Lin Xiyin to say something nice when they saw Pei Muye reach out and take the flowers.
Seeing that Pei Muye accepted the flowers, the other subordinates also accepted them.
The department head smiled and led them inside.
Lin Xiyin and Ji Mingtang lagged behind.
Ji Mingtang frowned: "Does he know you?"
