Chapter 477 The Eve of the Banquet
After the 45-minute class ended, Meng Yu took her water bottle and went outside.
As soon as she left, the students behind her moved forward with their textbooks. The next class was also Meng Yu's class, and no one dared to disobey.
Gu Yin was reading her textbook when she felt a tap on her back. She turned around and saw a tall, handsome boy smiling and greeting her.
"Hi Zhou, you weren't here yesterday, were you?"
Gu Yin nodded: "Yes, I had to take leave."
The boy nodded: "Oh, I see. But there weren't any important classes yesterday, so taking a day off is fine. By the way, my name is Cheng Mingxian. Can I add you on QQ? I used to be on the special training team! You probably don't know me, but we both know each other! You're amazing! I really admire you! I've added everyone else's contact information in the class, except for you. I want to run for class monitor, and if I get elected, this contact information will come in handy!"
Gu Yin didn't really know the other person, but she still gave him the number.
Cheng nodded with a smile: "Thanks! Remember to approve it later! When the class monitor election comes, please vote for me!"
Gu Yin nodded. Cheng Ming was clearly an outgoing and cheerful boy, so he was definitely qualified to be the class monitor. Anyway, Gu Yin didn't want to be a class officer anymore! She didn't have time, and she had already told Meng Yu, who agreed.
After the morning classes, Gu Yin and her two friends went to the cafeteria to get their food and went straight back to their dormitory to rest.
In the afternoon, Gu Yin received a message from Meng Yu that her application to stay overnight had been approved. She was to go to Meng Yu's place that afternoon to fill out the form, and after the system approved it, she could go home that night.
This news made Gu Yin happy, but the other two in the dormitory were reluctant to part with her. Although Xiang Xingmang was a local, she didn't want to go home. Living at school was so much more free!
There were two classes in the afternoon. After class, Gu Yin went to Meng Yu's office.
"You're here? Fill out this form." Meng Yu handed the form to Gu Yin.
After Gu Yin finished filling it out, she stamped and signed it: "Just take it to the dorm supervisor to register later. By the way, I've selected one of the two assistants you needed before. He's a senior this year, also in our biology department, but not in our major. He has excellent grades and is a boy. He's very good at both experiments and theoretical foundations. He just got into my graduate program. Let him do some odd jobs for you first. Is that okay?"
Gu Yin exclaimed in surprise, "Senior, you supervise graduate students?!"
Meng Yu rolled her eyes: "I only teach your class for undergraduates. I'm a professor for graduate students. Don't underestimate me because I'm young.
Gu Yin chuckled: "I didn't underestimate you. After all, you're a disciple of the teacher! You must have some skills! I'm just surprised that I haven't seen any of your undergraduate students. I can occasionally see your third senior brother's students in the lab!"
Meng Yu sighed: "Those who could go there have already graduated. Those who couldn't are all in the experiments the school assigned to me. The person I recommended to you is ambitious, capable, calm, and of good character. Give him a try first. If he's good, use him; if not, just return him to me."
Gu Yin took the person's information: "Wow, it's someone I know!"
Meng Yu asked in surprise, "You know Du Kai?"
Gu Yin nodded: "I know him. We met in Hong Kong before, and we also met when school started. Teacher, if Senior Du works for me, and you have to go back, I'll have to find someone else."
If you get used to it, it's such a hassle to replace it with a new one!
Meng Yu said quietly, "If he can pass your test, then let him stay in the lab over there. He doesn't need to come back. You can continue using it, and I'll find another one myself."
Du Kai has excellent grades. If he really follows Gu Yin, his future will be bright! I hope he seizes this opportunity!
Since Meng Yu said so, Gu Yin didn't hesitate: "Alright then, let Senior Du be my assistant. I wonder who my senior found for me? I'll go ask him!"
Meng Yu nodded: "Go ahead, he hasn't finished get off work yet. Remember to give the application form to the dormitory supervisor! By the way, tomorrow is my birthday, I'll be celebrating at home tonight, you and your senior brother can go together! Remember! Your senior brother knows the address, you can just take his car there."
"Why didn't you say so sooner, senior sister? I still need to go buy a gift!"
Meng Yu waved his hand: "No need to bring gifts, just come over for a meal! You're still young, don't bother with all that! Just showing up is enough!"
Gu Yin ignored her: "I'll figure it out myself! Do I need to wear a formal dress?"
Meng Yu shook his head: "Wearing formal clothes is fine, there's no need to make it too formal."
After Gu Yin made a note of it, she went to Yue Zemin's office, where he was indeed still there.
"Senior, have you found me an assistant yet?"
Yue Zemin took off his glasses and handed a list to Gu Yin: "I've selected three people, one girl and two boys. They're all very good, and they're all senior students. Take a look and decide which one you want."
Gu Yin took the documents. The two boys were from the biology department, but not from her major. The girl, on the other hand, was in the same major as Gu Yin, and their grades and practical skills were about the same.
"Let's talk about this senior student named Zhao Qingqing."
Yue Zemin nodded: "Then I'll contact her later and ask her to go to the lab tomorrow morning to complete the entry and exit procedures."
"Thank you for your help, senior brother. By the way, senior brother, it's senior sister's birthday banquet tomorrow. I'll go with you. Could you tell me about senior sister's family situation? I'm a little nervous."
Yue Zemin smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. Fourth sister's family is very nice. Her parents are both retired professors, her brother works in the Education Bureau, and her sister is a doctor. They are all very nice people. Don't worry. When we were in school, my eldest and second eldest brothers and I often went to fourth sister's house. Her family is local, while our family is from another province. During holidays when the teachers were not available, we would go to fourth sister's house."
Gu Yin breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this: "That's good. Then I'll leave with my senior brother tomorrow. Remember to wait for me!"
Yue Zemin nodded.
Gu Yin returned to her dormitory and gave the application form to the dormitory supervisor. After registering it, Gu Yin packed her things and went home since she had no classes that evening. She wanted to check on the gift later, otherwise it would be impolite to go empty-handed tomorrow.
When I got home, I was surprised to see Wang Yanzhi.
"Grandma, when did you get back? Why didn't you tell me? I would have come to pick you up!"
Wang Yanzhi was playing mahjong with the old lady, the old man, and Gu Hua. Gu Shu was staying at school and hadn't come back today.
"Hey! Ah Yin's back?! Why are you back at this hour?"
Gu Yin sat down next to Gu Hua: "I applied for overnight accommodation and it was approved. I can go home to stay at night from now on!"
Everyone was delighted to hear that!
The old man laughed and said, "It's great to live here! I can eat whatever I want!"
The old lady nodded: "We'll go back with Ahua tomorrow. It'll be more lively at home if you stay! When you're not here, your dad and your uncle come home very late!"
Gu Yin looked at Wang Yanzhi: "How many days has Grandma been back?"
Wang Yanzhi made a call and said with a smile, "I'm not sure yet. Your mother and your aunt are still studying abroad. I'll help them get the store sorted out first, and we can open as soon as they come back! So they'll probably be staying for more than a month."
Gu Yin said happily, "Grandpa is still abroad. You must be bored in Hong Kong by yourself. It's good to come back here. You can choose a gift with me tomorrow. My senior sister is having her birthday party tomorrow, and I haven't decided on her gift yet."
Wang Yanzhi nodded: "Sure! I'm good at this! After we see my brother and sister off at the airport tomorrow, we'll go choose! I guarantee you'll find one you're satisfied with!"
