"Before, I just thought you were always partial to Lan Xiaolan, but now I see clearly that you are not only partial to her, but you also have a lot of dissatisfaction with me, don't you?"
There was only resentment and anger left in Hu Wenjuan's eyes.
"For over a year now, you've given me so much work that it feels like a bandage is around my neck every moment, strangling me so that I can't breathe."
"Besides, I feel like you're deliberately trying to embarrass me and upset me with many of the books you've asked me to read."
"Oh? Which one are you talking about?"
"For example, that psychology book, I really don't understand it at all. Why would we archaeologists need to learn about that? And you recommended over ten books. If you don't like me and want to make things difficult for me, you can just tell me. Why are you torturing me like this?"
"Besides, the research institute has a lot of troubles that already keep me busy every day. And you deliberately asked me to repair that oil painting that's over a thousand years old. I feel like you're targeting me completely."
"Moreover, I think my efforts are totally disproportionate to the rewards I deserve!"
Hu Wenjuan complained vigorously.
"So...what does this mean?" Professor Bai pointed to the check on the table.
"There's a capable and insightful CEO who's happy to hire me to be their group's cultural relic appraiser."
"This check is their earnest money. If I go over, they'll offer me a million-dollar annual salary!"
"Professor, I appreciate your years of guidance. This one million is my way of giving you some tuition and compensation."
"I hope you can understand my difficulties and let me go."
Professor Bai took a sip of the cup of tea in his hand. It was warm just now, but now it was cold.
If you force yourself to drink it, it will only make you feel more uncomfortable.
Professor Bai put down the teacup in his hand and signed Hu Wenjuan's resignation report in one go without saying a word.
When Hu Wenjuan saw the signature on the resignation report, she felt relieved. She smiled with satisfaction and turned to leave.
As I walked out of the professor's office, Professor Bai chased me out with a check.
"Since we are teacher and student, I should give you a big gift before you leave."
"Here's a check for you. I wish you a bright future!"
Hu Wenjuan seemed stunned. Seeing Professor Bai's disappointed expression, her heart skipped a beat and she did not immediately take the check for one million from the professor.
Professor Bai threw the check lightly on the ground, turned around, closed the door and left.
This incident has been a knot in Professor Bai's heart. Since then, Professor Bai has always looked lost and worried.
From then on, Hu Wenjuan's name became a taboo in the institute and no one mentioned her anymore.
It wasn't until today, from Lan Xiaolan's mouth, that everyone heard this infuriating and embarrassing name again...
