Old Li had not informed Li Yu about the matter of studying abroad. Li Yu had originally wanted to wait until he got the quota for guaranteed admission to graduate school before telling Old Li, but this happened by accident.
Since I will be going abroad for two or three months, I must ask for leave from my supervisor.
But Mr. Li wanted him to study abroad, and Li Yu had already agreed to be Mr. Zhou's graduate student, so he wanted to take this opportunity to explain it.
As he thought about it, he started to get stuck in a dead end and didn't know how to bring up the subject, so he kept putting it off until the time to go to Hai City to submit his visa.
After meeting Wenxi, Li Yu told Wenxi about this little trouble.
Wenxi's advice is that there is no need to worry about it: "Just apologize to your teacher and explain it clearly.
If he is really a teacher who cares about you and is for your own good, he will not be angry at all. He will be sincerely happy for you and wish you the best. On the contrary, if he is really angry about this, it means that he has no tolerance and is not a good teacher.
You can take this opportunity to see his true colors. Anyway, he has no power to prevent you from graduating. At most, you can just keep your distance from each other in the future."
After hearing what Wenxi said, Li Yu immediately said, "No, Teacher Zhou is not that kind of person. He is a very good teacher!"
Wenxi laughed at him: "Then what are you worried about?"
The next day after submitting his visa application, Li Yu went to Teacher Zhou's office and told him about his request for leave.
When Mr. Zhou heard this, he thought to himself that Li Yu was indeed a student he favored. He had always felt sorry for this child because he always missed opportunities due to his personality.
At the beginning of this semester, Teacher Zhou found that Li Yu had changed. When he was chatting with other teachers, he sighed: "Gold finally shines."
A teacher joked, "I heard that he became the 'treasure' of your department overnight. You can go and see how many posts those girls have built for him on the campus forum."
Another teacher said, "I heard that two teachers in the graduate school have said that they want to compete with you for your students. You have to keep a close eye on them and don't let them poach your students."
Teacher Zhou is very confident: "The students I teach are still loyal to me. If they don't believe me, they can come and try to see if they can be poached."
After listening to Li Yu's words, Teacher Zhou's eyes were full of satisfaction and appreciation. Without further ado, he approved his leave and told him, "This opportunity is very rare, so you must seize it. At the same time, this is also a very good opportunity to promote our country's traditional culture. Do a good job and let them all see what the top aesthetics of the oriental country is."
Teacher Zhou has heard other teachers in the office complain that sometimes some foreign brands also add Z-style elements to their designs, but the finished products are too eye-catching. He has also seen the photos circulating on the Internet, saying that they are "flattering", but he doesn't believe it. He thinks it is uglification, and a clumsy uglification.
Teacher Zhou's words directly raised the matter to a higher level. Li Yu suddenly realized that what he was doing was not just a simple job.
My heart feels heavy.
Li Yu nodded solemnly: "Teacher, don't worry, I will do my best."
After chatting for a few minutes, Teacher Zhou talked to Li Yu about the graduation project.
After all, he will be away for at least two or three months, and he doesn't know how intense the work there is, or whether the child can withstand the pressure and take care of both sides.
If not, you must focus on work first. After you come back, the semester will basically be over, and time will be tight from then on.
"Oh, right," Teacher Zhou suddenly remembered, "there is also the registration for the postgraduate entrance examination. The pre-registration is at the end of this month, and the official registration ends on the 25th of next month. Don't just be busy with work and forget about it."
Unexpectedly, Teacher Zhou took the initiative to mention this matter. Li Yu reviewed the wording he had thought of before coming here.
However, Mr. Zhou interpreted this as hesitation, and he asked with a smile: "Why, has another teacher really contacted you?"
Li Yu didn't understand. What other teachers?
Teacher Zhou glanced at the other people in the office and asked, "Who is trying to poach my employees? Tell me the name. We are all civilized people. I promise I will not do anything to them."
This statement aroused "public outrage". The teacher was also rebellious and started making jokes.
A male teacher affectionately called him "Xiao Yu": "Did you see clearly? Teacher Zhou is a person who loves to make something out of nothing, so why don't you consider coming to my place."
A female teacher directly called him "department treasure": "It's better for you to come to my place. Your seniors like you very much and hope you can join our big family."
Li Yu blushed and was at a loss. Under the protection of Teacher Zhou, she said hastily, "I, actually, my dad wants me to study abroad..."
The male teacher laughed out loud when he heard this: "Oh, that's good. We don't have to dig anymore. The corner has moved away by itself—"
Teacher Zhou did not expect this to happen. It was indeed a bit sudden.
As soon as he saw Li Yu's expression, he knew that the kid was struggling because he had already agreed to be his student.
Teacher Zhou ignored his colleagues and smiled at Li Yu to reassure him, saying in a gentle tone: "This is a good thing. With the conditions and opportunities, you should go out more often. What is there to worry about?"
Teacher Zhou gave him a series of encouraging words and helped him analyze the advantages of foreign subjects. Then he asked him, "Have you chosen a school? Which country are you going to?"
Li Yu shook his head: "I haven't decided yet. Sister Wenxi and the others suggested that I go to Country Y because I'm going to work there and I'll be familiar with the environment by then."
Du Yunkai heard from Wenxi that Li Yu was planning to study abroad, so he called him and gave him some advice. He also asked him to visit the target university when he was free and then make a decision.
Wenxi also asked Zerlina for him, and Zerlina said that she could be his tour guide when Li Yu arrived.
"Country Y is a very good choice," said Teacher Zhou. "I also studied there."
Li Yu knew that it was all written in the teacher profiles on the school website.
Teacher Zhou smiled and said, "If you choose my alma mater, you must come to me to write a letter of recommendation."
Li Yu felt relieved and said goodbye to Teacher Zhou with joy in his heart, and walked out of the office with light steps.
When I was walking down the stairs, I was suddenly stopped by someone behind me.
It’s Fu Lei.
When Li Yu came to the office to find Teacher Zhou, he was already next to the male teacher. He seemed to be asking questions, but after asking the questions, he lingered and refused to leave, and listened to the whole thing.
Li Yu has always had a bad impression of this classmate, especially since the beginning of this semester.
He turned around and saw Fu Lei's face. He didn't want to pay attention to him, so he didn't say anything and continued to go downstairs.
Fu Lei took a few steps and caught up with Li Yu, walking side by side with him: "Are you going to study abroad?"
Out of politeness, Li Yu thought about it and replied with a "hmm".
"Or should we go to Country Y?" Fu Lei put one hand behind his back, pinching his fingertips, and continued to ask.
Li Yu caught the subtle tone in his words, stood still, looked at him and asked: "What do you want to say?"
"Nothing, just chatting." Fu Lei raised his hand, pinched the fabric on Li Yu's shoulder, and shook it. "Did you buy this T-shirt at the night market behind the school? Twenty or thirty yuan?"
Li Yu slapped his hand away, took a step back, his eyes full of vigilance.
