Chapter 70 Professor Jiang

Professor Jiang

She observed Chidong for a whole semester, and only called him to her office near the end of the semester and asked him softly whether he had found an internship for his junior year.

If not, it just so happens that she has a project on hand that is in need of interns. The salary is not very good, but not bad either. However, the workplace is in Haishi next door.

Chi Dong was suddenly called to the office. He felt a little uneasy on the way there. He thought there was a problem with the final assignment he submitted, but he didn't expect that Professor Jiang wanted to recommend an internship for him. This ruined his happiness.

However, after learning that the job location was in Haishi, Chi Dong's excited and happy expression suddenly faded a lot. He hesitated for a long time, and finally chose to refuse.

Jiang Tian never thought that he would refuse. After all, if they could get a recommendation from any professor, most students would not risk angering their teacher and choose to refuse.

As soon as Chi Dong finished speaking, Jiang Tian was stunned. She thought she had heard it wrong, or she had not explained it clearly just now, so she explained it again.

However, the result was still a rejection, but she did not show her displeasure because she could see that the joy on Chi Dong's face when he heard the internship recommendation was not false.

However, when she explained that the work location was in Hai City, she noticed that his expression changed. His excitement turned into indecision, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were staring at the ground aimlessly, which made Jiang Tian very puzzled.

Why did she stop talking when she heard Haishi? Could it be that Jingshi had a better job opportunity than hers?

Chi Dong lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought. He was very moved and grateful to Professor Jiang, but when he thought of certain things and certain people, he could only reject Professor Jiang's kindness. Chi Dong showed shame on his face, lowered his head and dodged his eyes. He never dared to look up at Jiang Tian, ​​for fear of seeing her disappointment in him.

However, Jiang Tian just patted his shoulder gently, chuckled, and told him to go back and think about it, and not to rush to answer her.

After leaving the teacher's office, Chi Dong returned to the dormitory in a daze and sat on the chair. His mind was blank at this moment and he didn't know how he got back to the dormitory. When he came to his senses, he found that he seemed to have lost his soul and didn't even know he was sitting in the wrong seat.

Standing in front of him were the owner of the chair and his elusive second brother Cheng Mo. They had their arms folded, brows furrowed, and were staring at Chi Dong who was sitting in the chair.

"Xiaodong, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh, sorry, Third Brother, I accidentally sat in the wrong seat." Hearing him being asked, Chi Dong realized that he was sitting in Zhou Yize's seat. He quickly stood up and wanted to return to his own bed.

Zhou Yize reached out and held him down, stopping him from getting up, and asked worriedly, "Is something wrong? Tell us about it, maybe we can help."

Chi Dong thought about it and felt that this was a good idea. More people would help to pool their ideas, and maybe he could listen to their opinions.

With this in mind, Chi Dong told them about the internship recommended by Professor Jiang.

"What did you say? You rejected such a good thing?" Zhou Yize originally thought that he had encountered some difficulties, and he prepared himself mentally in advance to prevent his mood from changing. As a result, he turned around and heard Professor Jiang introducing a job to Chi Dong, which was great news. However, before he could smile, he heard Chi Dong say that he had rejected it. Zhou Yize almost jumped up from where he was and asked in surprise.

"………" Chi Dong opened his lips slightly, wanting to say something, but soon fell silent. Without saying a word, his gaze turned to a certain place, with a trace of loneliness in his eyes. Zhou Yize sat on the chair that Cheng Mo dragged over, and noticed the direction Chi Dong was looking at. A thought suddenly flashed through his mind, which made his originally frowned brows even tighter, and even his voice was much higher than usual.

"Chi Xiaodong, don't tell me that you gave up such a good internship opportunity because of that person?" Zhou Yize's eyes twitched, and there was a hint of helplessness in his tone, and the expression on his face changed from shock to seriousness.

Although Zhou Yize guessed in his heart that this was the reason, he still held the possibility that it was not the case and asked seriously.

"…Um."

Chi Dong lowered his head, his voice muffled. He knew that Zhou Yize must be angry, otherwise his tone would not be so severe.

He knew Zhou Yize's temper. There were two times before when Lin Jie and Cheng Mo suddenly quarreled. Chi Dong tried to persuade them but they didn't listen. He was almost pushed to the ground. Zhou Yize got the news and ran back quickly. Before Chi Dong had time to explain to him, Lin Jie accidentally pushed him to the wall.

Seeing this, Zhou Yize scolded the two men harshly and ordered them to apologize to Chi Dong. In the end, the two men were like rabbits meeting wolves, and they didn't dare to do anything wrong again. They just apologized obediently. From then on, everyone knew that Zhou Yize seemed gentle, but in fact, he had a more violent temper than any of them.

"..." Zhou Yize was choked by his "hmm", and was speechless for a moment. The atmosphere suddenly became stagnant and the silence was frightening.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Cheng Mo, who was standing aside, coughed lightly, breaking the stalemate, and said slowly, "Xiaodong, I want to say a few words."

"Well, second brother, you say." Chi Dong blinked and nodded obediently.

"We know who you like, but between love and bread, I think you should think it over. This opportunity is rare, and Professor Jiang's project will be of great help to your future career development. Others can't even hate this job." Cheng Mo calmly analyzed the pros and cons of it. "After all, this is related to your future. You can't give up a good opportunity just because you like it for a moment. I'm afraid you will regret it later."

Chi Dong knew that they said so much for his own good, and he also wanted to think more about it, so he listened to their advice and promised to reply to Professor Jiang when he was ready.

In the following week, Chidong thought about it seriously for a long time, searched a lot of information on the Internet, and learned about the company in Haishi, but in the end he still refused.

However, the reason for his refusal was not because of the person he liked, but because his mother, who had been working in the suburbs of Beijing, suddenly felt unwell and was in severe pain. She and her father thought it was just a common stomachache, so they thought of going to a small clinic for treatment.

After Chi Dong learned about the situation, he immediately rushed to the narrow and dilapidated house they were renting. After persuading them for a long time, he finally persuaded them to give up the idea of ​​the small clinic. Then he took them to the Beijing Affiliated Hospital for a full-body examination.

The result of the checkup was that Chi's mother had severe gastric bleeding, which would have turned into gastric cancer if it had been delayed. Fortunately, Chi Dong brought them to the hospital for a checkup in time, so the situation did not become so serious.

It was precisely because of this that Chi Dong was running back and forth between school and hospital during that period, taking care of his mother while balancing his studies, and was extremely busy.

Chi's mother's illness cannot be cured in a short time. She needs to be hospitalized and, if necessary, have surgery. In order to take care of her more conveniently, Chi Dong's original intention to go to Hai City suddenly cooled down, and he chose to give up this opportunity.

He found Jiang Tian with great apology and explained to her the current situation in his family. When Jiang Tian heard it, she couldn't help feeling a little sorry for him, but she didn't show it. Instead, she comforted him.

After the two finished talking, Chi Dong hurried to the hospital and said goodbye to her. Jiang Tian sighed as she watched him leave. She really liked this student, and this was the first time she had such a fondness for someone other than her nephew.

Jiang Tian originally thought that after the internship was over, she would directly recommend him to her nephew's company, but unfortunately, it was not the right time for him to join.

On the way to the hospital, Chi Dong got on the bus. Outside the window, there was a constant flow of traffic. In the streets and alleys, pedestrians were hurriedly walking in the slightly warm sunshine. The temperature was gradually rising, indicating that winter was about to end.

After that day of rejection, Chi Dong never met Professor Jiang again after the final exams. Later, he heard from his classmates that several students from other classes were spotted by Professor Jiang and were introduced to Haishi Company for internships. He heard that if they performed well, they would be offered jobs in advance, and the treatment and benefits were much better than those of other companies.

Recalling this, Chi Dong stopped and was a little hesitant. He didn't know whether he should go up to her and say hello. He was worried that Jiang Tian had forgotten about him. Wouldn't it be awkward if he went up to her?

At this moment, Jiang Tian, ​​who had been enjoying the soft, sweet rice cake in the cafeteria early in the morning, was walking towards the teacher's dormitory building. A gust of cold wind blew towards her, and she subconsciously raised her eyes. When she raised her eyes, she saw the student who made her feel sorry for him.

"Good morning, Chi Dong!" Jiang Tian had good eyesight and saw the uneasy look on Chi Dong's face from a distance. She guessed that he didn't dare to speak, so she took a few steps forward, got a little closer, and then said to him with a gentle smile.

Chi Dong bowed quickly. He didn't expect Jiang Tian to still remember him. He was flattered and surprised. "Good morning, teacher."

Seeing his timid, cute and adorable appearance, Jiang Tian almost laughed at him. She suppressed the urge to laugh out loud and said, "Okay, all right. I bought some rice cakes. They're still warm. Come and have one, classmate Chi."
