Chapter 154 Extra Tutoring
Later, Professor Townsley asked what Mr. Wang had said to her. Zhang Wei told her that Mr. Wang had asked about her situation at school and whether she was as outstanding as the dean said. She just answered affirmatively: She is indeed very outstanding.
Professor Townsley looked at her suspiciously. Zhang Wei tried to make herself look more honest. She believed that Professor Townsley must not know what they said.
As for whether Mr. Wang wants to invest, this matter has nothing to do with her. She is just a middle school student who was called to the laboratory to do odd jobs on a whim by the professor, although she did nothing.
Professor Townsley was very good at getting rid of people after they had done their job. After the meeting, he let Zhang Wei go back to school on her own.
Zhang Wei had lunch in Cambridge and walked around for most of the day. It was a rare leisure time.
She first went to King's College in Cambridge, a landmark building in London. Unexpectedly, it was open to tourists as a tourist attraction. Zhang Wei saved eight dollars on the ticket because she had a temporary pass given by Professor Townsley.
Then we went to Cambridge, which is mentioned in the poem "A Farewell to Cambridge", a place that every Chinese person must visit. It is said that Xu Zhimo himself only studied in Cambridge for one year. It really was a bit like the representative outstanding figure that Zhang Wei had heard teasing in his previous life: "One year of British master's degree, a lifetime of love for England."
There is also a monument to Xu Zhimo by the River Cam. I have to say that it was worthwhile to study there in 2011.
There are more than 30 independent colleges in Cambridge, each with a different style. Zhang Wei did not want to look for them one by one. It was also nice to take a walk along the River Cam.
You can often meet tourists taking boat trips on the river. They greet people on the shore loudly. Occasionally, you can also meet Chinese people. Zhang Wei responds to them loudly in Chinese, and everyone laughs happily.
It seemed as if at this moment she had become a tourist visiting here for a short time, and she could return home in the next second.
Perhaps it was because she was homesick, the first time she met Mr. Wang, and then the Chinese tourists, made her feel that this place was becoming more and more unfamiliar. At this moment, she wanted very much to return to the city where she used to live, eat familiar meals, and listen to the local accent.
People always have to face reality. She could only leave under the afterglow of the sunset. Looking at the River Cam in the distance, she felt that she should not laugh at Xu Zhimo. Perhaps he was also missing his hometown far away as the sun set.
Zhang Wei looked a little listless when she returned to the dormitory. Unexpectedly, everyone came to visit her after dinner, as if she had been subjected to inhuman torture by Professor Townsley.
"How's it going, Vera? What did she ask you to do?"
"You're not going to be serving tea and water in the lab all day, are you?"
"If she physically harms you, you must file a complaint with the school!"
Zhang Wei listened to their concern with amusement and was also a little touched. She couldn't help but think: Has Professor Townsley become so unpopular without realizing it?
"Nothing. She just asked me to go to the lab."
Seeing that everyone was looking at her with some suspicion, Zhang Wei continued:
"Because a Chinese businessman wants to provide a large amount of research funding, Professor Townsley wants to fight for it."
"Oh~~~" Everyone was not stupid, so they understood and dispersed.
"What was the result? Did she get it?"
"I'm not sure about that. Mr. Wang didn't express his opinion on the spot."
Zhang Wei knows what can be said and what cannot be said.
Because of Professor Townsley's different treatment, Zhang Wei rarely talked about her with them, fearing that others would feel embarrassed to tell her. However, seeing that everyone was not very satisfied with her, she asked:
"Why don't you seem to like her very much?"
So everyone started talking:
"She privately used the knowledge she learned in college to fool me, claiming she liked me, but in reality, it was just their class assignments she picked up during class in college!"
"You did it too!" "You did it too!" several people said in unison.
"Some stretching test, right?" "Yes, yes, yes!"
Zhang Wei then understood why the homework was so much beyond the syllabus. It turned out that she didn't even change the questions and fooled twelve people in a row.
"Does she think we are fools?"
"I heard she only started taking classes at Dewen last year. She probably thinks we only have half the IQ of those college students!"
"Where's Tracy?"
Tracy said calmly, "I got about three college assignments."
"You're so honored! Haha!" Hayat said and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Indeed, it's an honor to have done three jobs!"
Everyone in the living room burst into laughter. Then Zhang Wei took out the question from his bag and said deliberately:
"So, I'm the last one to receive it. How frustrating!"
Hayat laughed so hard that tears came out, but she suppressed her smile and comforted him:
"It's okay, Vera. My cousin is in Cambridge. I'll ask him to help you dig through the trash can in the Physics Department classroom and compensate you with ten, ten homework assignments."
These words made Zhang Wei laugh out loud. Hayat has quite a sense of humor.
After everyone calmed down, Tracy said, "Maybe we can get a different instructor next year."
"You mean!"
"You mean!"
"They all failed, right?"
"Yeah, I gave her a failing grade too!"
"Wow!" Everyone high-fived to celebrate.
Because Dewen is not only very strict with its students, but also with its tutors.
If a tutor fails all the student feedback scores for two consecutive years, the school will unconditionally dismiss the tutor.
Zhang Wei didn't want to give her a passing grade at all, so she followed her heart, even though Professor Townsley would make things difficult for her if he found out.
However, it seems that Devon is doing better in this aspect. Zhang Wei did not find any difference in Professor Townsley's attitude towards her this semester. Well, he is still as cold as before.
What she didn't expect was that Professor Townsley was such a bad tutor that he was unwilling to even spend a little effort on this matter. He really thought that the junior high school students were fools.
There are many sophisticated egoists like Professor Townsley. From Butch and her intelligence team's investigation of the student union, we know that there are many more.
Not to mention that Butch and Hayat's actions were relatively efficient, now the story of the "student head" abusing his power for personal gain has begun to spread in the school.
Not only are there rumors, but there are also pictures and truth. For example, they used the social practice funds allocated by the school to hold a yacht party, and the "student leaders" wantonly bullied and insulted ordinary students. This included a video of Jenny leading people to humiliate Eugenie.
The video was still circulating in the school’s social group, and it included the voice message of Eugenie helping Jenny. This was such a despicable act of ingratitude, and immediately the “student head” was condemned by everyone.
"This wasn't sent by us!" Butch pointed at the voice message.
"That means someone is borrowing our power," Hayat pondered.
It goes without saying who this person is.
