The next day, after having breakfast at Jiang Weihua's house, Zhou Xiang suggested going to see Professor Chu.
Jiang Weihua nodded, "It's time to go. The teacher is also very anxious. Although I know you are back, it's better to see it with my own eyes to put my mind at ease!"
So, the four of them went out together. Yes, four of them. A-Lian needed to go out and interact more with people so that she could adapt to this place quickly.
Professor Chu heard yesterday that his favorite student had finally returned, so he waited for him at home today.
Seeing a stranger, he was stunned for a moment, "Who is this?"
Zhou Xiang briefly talked about those 24 people.
Professor Chu nodded approvingly and said, "Zhou Xiang! You are my greatest pride in this life! You have made so many contributions to our country. This time, we have saved so many people. Even though they have lost their reputation as geniuses, they have finally returned to the embrace of their motherland. This should be what they long for most. Even if it means facing the separation of their families, it is better than dying in a foreign land!"
Zhou Xiang waved his hands repeatedly, "Teacher, this is what I should do. Besides, Ling Ran and his teammates have been a great help."
Professor Chu chuckled, "Same, are you two still different?"
Zhou Xiang, who doesn't blush easily, felt embarrassed by Professor Chu's teasing.
"Teacher, can we talk alone?"
"good!"
The teacher and student entered the study. When Professor Chu heard his proudest student say he wanted to change his name, he smiled and said, "No need to change it. The news has already been released. Professor Z was taken hostage and died."
Zhou Xiang opened his mouth into an O shape. Was he being sacrificed again?
Professor Chu raised his hand and nodded at her. "I told you not to be lazy. Come up with a new name! Hand over your ID and you'll have to apply for it again."
Zhou Xiang took out the barely warmed ID and handed it to Professor Chu, "Let's call it 'Huan'! 'Huan' means fantasy."
Professor Chu nodded. "Yes, and the country plans to release two quotas to other families. With two more mobile phone sales companies, you won't become a target of public criticism."
Zhou Xiang nodded indifferently. The patent was hers, and no matter who it was given to, she would get the patent royalties.
Seeing that she didn't care, Professor Chu secretly praised her. When he heard the news, he felt sorry for the student, but he agreed to it only for the student's safety. He was not as generous as a 20-year-old child.
With the basic safety issues resolved, Zhou Xiang said goodbye. She still had to go back to Hua University! Would those students just refuse to take the substitute teacher again?
Professor Chu laughed when he heard this, "Yes, they're all waiting for you! Go back and see what the school has arranged!"
"good!"
I put down the dried fruits I brought and told the teacher to soak them in water and drink them. They were specially made.
Professor Chu smiled and nodded, "Okay! I drink it every day."
"Yes! If it's gone, tell me and I'll bring it back to you."
When she arrived at Huazhong University of Science and Technology and found the department head, he patted her on the shoulder and said, "Good! I'm glad you're back safely. The students were waiting for you to come back to class. Your classes have been taken up by other teachers. There are only two weeks left. You have to attend classes every day, including evening classes. Isn't it too tiring?"
Zhou Xiang shook his head and said, "It's okay, let's start making arrangements on Monday!"
Today is Friday, so she still has two days to rest.
The department head nodded. "Okay! After the class, you'll be on vacation. You won't be assigned to invigilate or grade exams."
Zhou Xiang smiled and said, "Thank you, Director."
She was also afraid of grading papers, especially history papers. When grading homework, she would use space so as not to feel dizzy from reading too many words in a short time.
Jiang Weihua and the other two met at the door.
When Jiang Weihua heard that he would have to take two weeks of full classes, with three large classes every day in the morning, afternoon and evening, he went to Hua University to seek justice.
Ling Ran grabbed him and said, "Alright, think about it, she's a teacher, it's her responsibility to make up for the missed classes. I will accompany her every day."
Zhou Xiang looked at this guy suspiciously. Was he planning to take this opportunity to claim his sovereignty?
The four of them returned to Jiang Weihua's place to have lunch, and Ling Ran and Zhou Xiang left.
Zhou wanted to comfort A Lian and tell her not to be afraid and not to follow others easily.
A Lian nodded repeatedly, saying that she would be obedient. However, after Zhou Xiang left, she looked at Jiang Weihua timidly, afraid that he would get angry again.
Seeing that she was afraid of him, Jiang Weihua said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, my attitude was not good before, and I misunderstood you."
A-Lian became even more frightened and waved her hands repeatedly, "Sir, you don't have to apologize to me. I'm just a maid."
Jiang Weihua took a deep breath, trying to ignore the tone, and said softly, "You are not a maid. You are just living here temporarily and doing some work. Don't think of yourself as a maid. My last name is Jiang, Jiang Weihua. You can call me by my name, or call me uncle like Xiang Xiang did."
A-Lian shook her head. "You're lying. Think about how I called you Senior Jiang."
"I'm both her uncle and her senior, so she calls me that on purpose."
"Then I'll call you sir."
Seeing that this timid little girl was difficult to communicate with, Jiang Weihua had no choice but to give up.
"Then, let me take you to buy some clothes! You've been wearing this thin cotton coat for the past two days. Aren't you cold?"
A-Lian hesitated for a moment and said, "Deduct it from the wages."
Jiang Weihua nodded, "Okay!"
Jiang Weihua felt relieved after finally finding a way to compensate for the rabbit. As for the price, he just didn't tell her.
In every store he went to, Jiang Weihua signaled the waiters not to quote prices.
After buying a down jacket, a wool sweater, jeans, and snow boots, Jiang Weihua was about to leave when he remembered that he had not bought any autumn clothes or autumn trousers.
He took her to a lingerie store again. When they saw the underwear hanging there, they both felt embarrassed. Jiang Weihua wanted to ask her to go in and choose by herself, but he was worried that the waiter would look down on her tone, so he had no choice but to follow her in.
The waiter was very enthusiastic. "Sir, are you here to buy clothes with your girlfriend? You are such a good man."
Upon hearing this, both of their faces flushed red.
Jiang Weihua coughed dryly and said, "Hurry up and do your work, don't talk too much."
He had already come in, and if he tried to explain that he was not A-Lian's boyfriend, it would seem like he was making things worse, so he changed the subject.
"Okay." Seeing the expressions of the two, the waiter also realized that he had said something wrong.
After buying autumn clothes and autumn trousers, A-Lian blushed and bought underwear.
She took the bag from the waiter and waited with her head lowered.
Jiang Weihua paid with a card, and the waiter was confused again. How could a man pay for the underwear for a woman when they were not a couple? I don't understand!
Jiang Weihua felt a little uncomfortable. This was the first time he bought underwear for a woman! Although he didn't choose it himself, he paid for it.
After leaving the store, both of them breathed a sigh of relief, got in the car, and returned to the yard in embarrassment.
A Lian got out of the car and ran back to the house immediately. Jiang Weihua didn't feel embarrassed at all. He was a grown man and there was nothing for him to be afraid of.
