Extra 4.5
...Private teacher assistant, class management assistant, personal life manager?
Jiang Lai was slightly stunned when he heard this, and was a little surprised by Gojo Satoru's words.
He thought that Gojo Satoru was being merciful by providing him with some information or the contact information of Principal Yega, but he didn't expect that he would directly provide him with the position he needed.
According to his understanding of Gojo Satoru, the white-haired man was not a kindhearted fellow who would help others when he saw injustice. Normally, he was a free-spirited person who enjoyed himself, but he had a bottom line.
At this moment, they actually offered to help... and these positions were obviously not placed randomly, but were close to each other.
Faced with such abnormality, Jiang Lai opened his mouth, but did not agree immediately. Instead, he hesitated.
Having experienced adventures in the world of science, he always subconsciously analyzes the possible causes before making a decision when faced with these deviations and anomalies.
He guessed. Was it because the other party still suspected him, so he planned to keep him close to observe? In case there was any problem, he could capture or deal with it on the spot.
It’s a pity that mobile phones can’t be used now. Otherwise, if comics were still available, I could understand the situation of this world and Gojo Satoru’s inner thoughts from comics - as well as my own image in the comics.
Gojo Satoru was still walking beside him. He noticed Jiang Lai's brief silence and tilted his head slightly and asked, "Well, what's the matter? Is it because I didn't propose a clear salary?"
He put his hand under his chin, looking thoughtful. After a brief pause, he snapped his fingers and said.
"I'm not a liar. In that case, I'll give you a down payment first." Gojo Satoru's lips curled up, and he took the watch from his wrist and handed it over, "Hey, this is all I have for now~"
The watch was exquisite and elegant in design, with no wear and tear on the surface. It looked like a brand new watch, a high-priced limited edition that had just been launched and worn for only a few days.
Such a famous watch, even if it is sold second-hand, the price is very high.
Jiang Lai's eyes fell on it, and he became even more confused.
He didn't understand what was there about him that was worthy of Gojo Satoru's attention... or was there anything interesting about him that could attract him?
Jiang Lai had learned micro-expression analysis before, and although he had not yet mastered it completely, he could still get a glimpse of the inner thoughts of others. In addition, he had a very keen intuition since he was a child.
He sensed that Gojo Satoru seemed to be paying special attention to him.
However, because Gojo Satoru is very good at emotional management, Jiang Lai cannot further determine the reasons behind this "attention".
Forget it, don’t bother thinking about it anymore.
Jiang Lai shook his head in his heart, throwing away all the chaotic thoughts.
If Gojo Satoru really paid special attention to him, then he would not be able to escape no matter where he went. He knew it very well.
It would be better to accept the position as it is what I have been expecting anyway.
But I can’t accept the watch that Gojo Satoru handed over.
On the one hand, it is unclear whether this watch has any other uses, and on the other hand, this kind of famous watch is too expensive.
No merit, no reward. Although Jiang Lai likes small amounts of money, he cannot take advantage of others. He knows that Gojo Satoru may not care about the money, but he has his own scale in his heart.
So Jiang Lai waved his hand and declined politely: "No need, no need to pay a deposit, I believe it."
"If you are willing to hire me, I will try my best to do my best." Jiang Lai raised his brown eyes and accepted Gojo Satoru's invitation. "Whether it is a private teacher assistant, class management assistant, or personal life manager, I can do it. Which one do you prefer? I will listen to you."
Gojo Satoru waved his hand and said, "Then there's no need to choose. Just do whatever you want!"
Jiang Lai: “?”
Gojo Satoru put the watch back on his wrist, and said with a rising voice, "Ah, after thinking about it, there doesn't seem to be a particularly clear boundary between these duties. Since you are all following me, I will leave them all to you."
"As for salary, I can give you three copies~"
"..." Jiang Lai paused, and this time, he did not refuse.
Because he thought about it and felt that he should indeed get three parts of the work compared to Gojo Satoru - just look at Ijichi and you will know how difficult it is to be an assistant sandwiched between the strongest and the top executives!
Although as a foreign tourist he would not be caught between two mountains like Ijichi, it was still quite strenuous to deal with one mountain.
What's more, he is putting himself at risk, so it is completely reasonable for him to get three salaries!
Jiang Lai convinced himself in his heart. He smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, thank you, Mr. Gojo. I will work hard."
His voice was clear and his eyes were bright. He was filled with the youthful energy and vitality.
Gojo Satoru couldn't help but stretch out his hand and ruffle the black hair that was flying in front of him.
"!" Jiang Lai's body suddenly stiffened, his eyes widened, and then he reacted and dodged from the two big hands, "Mr. Gojo!"
He opened his mouth and continued the second half of the sentence: "I am already an adult... so don't use the gestures of soothing a child."
Gojo Satoru naturally withdrew his hand, coughed, and raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Why soothing a child? Oh, this is our school's contract signing ceremony - from now on, you are my official assistant."
Jiang Lai's face was full of suspicion. He didn't remember this custom in the original book, but with a curious heart, he still asked one more question: "Don't you sign contracts by touching the head instead of bowing or shaking hands?"
"Yes~"
"Gojo-sensei." A voice suddenly came from behind. Fushiguro Megumi stood behind with an expressionless face, holding fruits and vegetables from the buffet area in her hands. She interrupted Gojo Satoru's words and said, "Please don't give the school such a strange name casually."
"It's not a strange name at all. It's just a matter of speaking the truth." Gojo Satoru's expression remained unchanged. He smiled and said, "I recruit people, so naturally I have the final say on the contract signing ceremony. And I'm a member of the high school - so this is one of the school's procedures."
"Why is Hui here? Aren't you still eating barbecue?" Gojo Satoru asked in a leisurely manner.
"The steak is ready, but you haven't come back yet, so I came to get the staple food and fruits and vegetables." Fushiguro Megumi said calmly, "By the way, I'm going to check on you guys who left early. What must have stopped you on the way and you haven't come back yet?"
"Sorry." Jiang Lai rubbed his cheeks, "I've kept you waiting for a long time." He quickly picked up a few pancakes from the table next to him and put them on a tray as a main course for later.
"Yeah, of course we are talking about adult topics." Gojo Satoru picked up some small cakes and put them on the plate held by Jiang Lai. "But I didn't expect that you would wait for the teacher to enjoy the main course together - it's really touching."
"Please don't misunderstand me." Fushiguro Megumi said calmly, "We are mainly waiting for Jiang Lai."
"Ouch! How could this be--" Gojo Satoru pretended to wipe away his tears, but he didn't even take off his blindfold and didn't perform the whole act.
He raised his voice and said, "It seems that you are very popular. We have spent so much time together and have such a good relationship with them. It is the right decision to keep you as an assistant teacher."
Jiang Lai felt that the reason why Fushiguro Megumi and the others waited for him was more out of courtesy than because of their good relationship.
After all, they were friends I had just met, and we were just like guests to each other.
I am not a fan of everyone, Jiang Lai thought. It is impossible to fill up the favorability so quickly.
Speaking of which... he really wanted to take a look at Gojo Satoru's favorability bar to judge his true thoughts behind his exaggerated appearance.
Why is this attitude? !
They walked back to the dining table and finished their steak and barbecue dinner. The mission of this outing had already been completed, so their next step was to return to school.
As a wealthy man, Gojo Satoru opened his phone and called a private car.
After waving to the driver to go off work, he drove the car himself, with Jiang Lai sitting as the co-pilot and the remaining three students sitting in the back seat.
On the way back, Gojo Satoru also briefly explained Jiang Lai's future position. This point was actually mentioned during the meal just now, but now it is explained in more detail.
"Our school is very big, don't get lost." Gojo Satoru said, "There are a lot of empty dormitories in the technical college. I'll go and arrange one for you. From now on, that will be your accommodation."
"Of course, since you are also my housekeeper, you must be prepared to accompany me on business trips at any time."
"Huh?" Jiang Lai was a little surprised. He paused and replied, "Okay, Mr. Gojo. But I don't know much about your work, so I may not be able to help you."
"You don't need to know more. We won't bring you along if you're in real danger." Gojo Satoru said briskly. "By the way, don't call me [Mr. Gojo] anymore. It sounds strange."
He put one hand on his chin and made a quick decision, "Otherwise you can just call me - [Brother Wu]!"
Jiang Lai: “…Ah?”
The Fuhuding trio: “???”
All three of them had small eyes.
Jiang Lai was silent for two seconds, then he said, "Can I call you [Gojo-sensei]? Same as them. After all, as an assistant teacher, I am also your student."
"Well, that's fine." Gojo Satoru sounded a little regretful, but still nodded, "Speaking of which, the teaching methods and content of our school are different from those in society. If there is anything you don't understand, please keep it confidential~"
"Okay, I understand." Jiang Lai nodded seriously, "Actually - I'm not completely ignorant." He blinked and put on a semi-mysterious look, "I will do my part well."
Because he had to drive, in order to avoid being stopped by the traffic police, Gojo Satoru took off his eye mask and put on sunglasses.
Those blue eyes seemed to be looking forward, but the six eyes with no blind spots could of course notice Jiang Lai's expression, and Gojo Satoru couldn't help but pursed his lips again.
Compared to the mysterious monster in his memory, this Lai is still immature... Every movement he makes is like a little fox waving its tail.
Gojo Satoru held the steering wheel with one hand, but didn't say much. He just smiled and said lightly, "Yeah, okay."
The car was about to drive out of the city. The high-rise buildings in the distance were getting farther and farther away, and the image of the iris on the tallest building was becoming increasingly blurred.
Gojo Satoru caught a glimpse of the silhouette of the iris in the side mirror, and his heart sank a little.
Iris is watching everywhere in the world of magic. Relatively speaking, the magic academy with a barrier is a safe place.
He looked ahead and added, "If any so-called senior officials come to you alone when I'm not around, ignore them."
Gojo Satoru turned his head, his sunglasses sliding down his nose, revealing his deep, glassy blue eyes. "No matter what happens, don't leave school - wait for me to come back."
