Chapter 140 Closeness
"You!" Ruan Xuezhen was so angry that he felt despised by a beautiful woman.
Guo Yi knew Ruan Xuezhen’s problem.
This guy likes beautiful women. When he was in school, he often shook hands with and touched shoulders of pretty girls and boys, which was very annoying. But he had a strong wife and had not done anything out of line. Plus, he was really talented, so the department turned a blind eye.
Occasionally, students protested, but Ruan Xuezhen said confidently: "Beauty is for appreciation. I just think you are beautiful. What's wrong with getting close to you? I haven't done anything illegal or criminal to you. Is it okay for me to just look at you a few more times or shake your hand?"
Unexpectedly, he met Tao Nanfeng today, who seemed to be a tough guy. He didn't get any advantage at all and even caused the students behind him to laugh at him.
Guo Yi tried to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, let me introduce our students from Kyoto University. They are all elites from our Department of Architecture. There are graduate students and undergraduates. They all have solid foundations and have participated in many actual projects at the Design Institute."
There were six students, both boys and girls. One of them was carrying a lot of bags and had been hiding behind another girl. When she showed her face at this time, Tao Nanfeng and Tao Shouxin were stunned.
Guo Yi was also stunned for a moment, and asked: "Feng You, why did you follow me?"
Ruan Xuezhen said, "I asked her to come. We have a group of people like us, so we need someone to carry bags and do odd jobs. Although Feng You's professional ability is average, she is kind, hardworking, and not bad looking. She will graduate soon, so let her work in the design institute ahead of time."
After hearing Ruan Xuezhen's introduction, Feng You wished he could dig a hole in the ground and bury himself.
Carrying bags and doing odd jobs? It turned out that in the eyes of her tutor, she was only fit to carry bags and do odd jobs.
Average professional ability? Looks pretty good?
Every word was a slap in her face, and it was a slap in her face in front of Tao Shouxin and Tao Nanfeng. Hit crisply and hit loudly!
Guo Yi said "Oh" and nodded.
Feng You's face was swollen and red, almost bleeding. He walked forward hesitantly, looked at Tao Shouxin, tears in his eyes, and called out, "Uncle Tao..."
If I can’t call you dad anymore, I can at least call you uncle, right?
Tao Shouxin took a half step back, waved his hand and said nothing.
Guo Yi asked curiously: "Are you relatives?"
Tao Shouxin shook his head: "She is not a relative, but I have watched her grow up." Tao Shouxin once taught Feng You with all his heart, but he did not expect that she would grow more and more crooked. It can only be said that the roots are rotten, and it is useless to water and fertilize her.
Feng You walked up to Tao Nanfeng again and after a long while, he uttered, "You're here."
Tao Nanfeng smiled and said nothing.
Feng You showed off in front of him for a long time, and he thought she was doing very well in Kyoto. Unexpectedly, in the eyes of the professor of Kyoto University, Feng You was just a small character who carried bags and did odd jobs.
Ruan Xuezhen waved his hand and said, "Okay, now that the introduction is over, we have to get down to business. Professor Tao, would you like to come with us to survey the Xicheng District Stadium? This is a design task that our design institute has accepted, and we need to renovate and expand the stadium."
Tao Shouxin was a serious person and immediately raised his question: "Isn't it a bid?"
When Ruan Xuezhen heard the word "bid", he immediately reacted: "Your school also has a design institute? Are you planning to participate in the bidding this time?"
Tao Shouxin did not directly answer his question: "We came here just to learn about this project. It would be nice if we could take a look together."
Feng You added, "Didn't Tao Nanfeng open a design company?"
When Ruan Xuezhen heard this, he looked at Tao Nanfeng, who was hard to deal with, in surprise: "You run a company? Aren't you a graduate student?"
Tao Shouxin glanced at Feng You, feeling a little annoyed by her talkativeness. Feng You shrank her neck, knowing that she was annoying, but she just couldn't help it and always wanted to make her presence felt.
Tao Nanfeng said: "I opened a small company after graduation."
Guo Yi smiled sincerely: "As expected, a good father will have a good daughter. Professor Tao, your daughter has really taken over your job."
Ruan Xuezhen looked at Tao Nanfeng warily: "Your company is going to participate in the bidding? Who invited you here?"
How big can a design company started by a graduate student be? Graduate students were just enrolled in 1978, and she is estimated to graduate in July this year. With this calculation, the design company has only been established for a month. How did it get the information about the bidding for the stadium project?
Tao Shouxin said calmly, "We are going to participate in the bidding. Maybe we will become competitors. I wonder if Professor Ruan has the foresight to share data and information with us?"
Ruan Xuezhen was tricked by him and laughed: "We just got the bid documents, and everyone's information is the same. I came to take a look at the site at noon today. I have a project to do in the afternoon, so I'm very busy."
Guo Yi is a school teacher, not Ruan Xuezhen's employee. To be precise, he is a collaborator. His attitude is very generous and relaxed.
"Let's go, let's go. It's rare to meet here. Let's take a look at the scene together. I just happen to have some experiences that I want to discuss with Professor Tao. Let's go, let's go!"
Under Guo Yi's encouragement, the two teams gathered together, and the eleven people walked around the stadium in a clockwise direction.
Fan Zhicheng has been following Tao Nanfeng closely.
Tao Nanfeng's strong resistance made him feel safe, and only by staying with her could he resist Ruan Xuezhen's sticky gaze.
From the ice rink to the open-air stadium, to the green space and small shops, Fan Zhicheng has been constantly sketching with the pencil in his hand, recording vivid scenes.
Tao Nanfeng took the camera, carefully framed the scene, and photographed it.
Ruan Xuezhen's eyes kept wandering over these two people. This incredibly beautiful couple aroused his strong interest.
Men are like flexible grass, growing stubbornly and low-key;
The woman is like a tall tree, facing the storm with strength.
This kind of misplaced beauty made Ruan Xuezhen eager to try.
"You draw well..." He moved closer to Fan Zhicheng, put his left hand on his shoulder, and reached out as if to take his sketchbook. The voice rang in Fan Zhicheng's ear, and the hot breath blew into his earlobe, and Fan Zhicheng's face turned red all of a sudden.
Seeing this touch of red, Ruan Xuezhen was completely fascinated. His hands stopped on the sketchbook and did not move for a long time.
Looking from behind, it looked like Ruan Xuezhen was hugging Fan Zhicheng, with an ambiguous and intimate attitude.
Unfortunately, Fan Zhicheng had been insulted and forced by men, and had severe psychological trauma. When he encountered such a situation, he was so scared that he trembled all over and had no idea how to resist. Tears were flashing in his eyes and his heart was roaring, but for some reason he couldn't move an inch.
Tao Nanfeng saw this scene through the camera lens and couldn't help but get angry.
She took two quick steps, grabbed Fan Zhicheng's arm and pulled him aside, getting rid of Ruan Xuezhen's teasing, and shouted, "Are you dead?"
Fan Zhicheng's face turned pale, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, and he stared blankly at Tao Nanfeng.
Looking closely, Fan Zhicheng's whole body was shaking, and even his teeth were chattering, making a slight "clack" sound.
Tao Nanfeng then realized that Fan Zhicheng had a very serious mental illness. Whenever he had intimate physical contact with a man, he would involuntarily feel fear.
Tao Nanfeng softened his heart.
She did not rebuke Fan Zhicheng anymore. Instead, she raised her right hand and pressed down hard on Ruan Xuezhen's left shoulder. She asked sternly, "Professor Ruan, what do you mean by stealing my senior brother's drawings?"
A huge force hit him, and Ruan Xuezhen tilted to the right and almost fell to the ground.
"Gently! Gently!"
Ruan Xuezhen didn't expect Tao Nanfeng to be so rude, and shouted: "Tao Nanfeng, what are you doing? Is this how you respect your teacher?"
The noise here was so loud that the teachers and students who were scattered everywhere gathered around.
Tao Nanfeng looked at his father and said loudly, "Dad, Professor Ruan didn't agree to your proposal to exchange materials, but now he wants to snatch Brother Fan's drawings."
Tao Shouxin felt a bit troubled by his daughter's initiative to cause trouble. He walked over and asked, "What's going on?"
Ruan Xuezhen struggled several times but failed to break free from Tao Nanfeng's suppression. It felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his left shoulder, making it hard to breathe.
He had no choice but to ask Tao Shouxin for help: "Professor Tao, I just thought that Student Fan's painting was good and wanted to take a look at it. I didn't snatch it away. Ask Tao Nanfeng to let go!"
Tao Nanfeng snorted coldly: "I have already warned you, I am very strong, don't mess with me. But you never learn your lesson, so I will let you taste my strength again!"
Guo Yi glanced at Fan Zhicheng and saw that his eyes were filled with tears and his face was flushed. He knew that Ruan Xuezhen's old habit of taking advantage of beautiful women had come back again, and he gritted his teeth secretly.
Family disgrace should not be made public. Guo Yi said to Tao Nanfeng, "It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Professor Ruan was just excited to see the prey and couldn't help but get close to me. He would never do something like stealing the drawings."
It was a double entendre and everyone understood it.
The students were discussing quietly.
"Professor Ruan has finally met a tough opponent."
"I guess he wanted to take advantage of the boy because he saw that he was pretty."
"Shh... don't say it, don't say it. Don't let the professor hear you, or you'll fail your paper."
Ruan Xuezhen was also very angry. He was wearing the cloak of a professor and had an absolute advantage in front of the students. He would say a few words of praise in the classroom, drawing room and office, and take the opportunity to touch their hands, hug their shoulders, pat their backs... He did this set of small actions like flowing water, and no one dared to say anything.
Occasionally, some brave students would come forward to complain.
If the person who complained was a boy, he would say: "We are all men, why are you shy? This is a teacher's love for students, what kind of crooked ideas are you thinking about?"
If the person making the complaint is a girl, he would reply: "A handshake represents sincerity, and a pat on the shoulder represents encouragement. I am convinced that the relationship between teacher and student has been distorted like this."
Besides, it was just a touch and a trial, and it wouldn’t cost a piece of flesh. He wasn’t afraid of being reported to the police.
Students are naturally afraid of teachers and can only avoid them or tolerate them. Over time, Ruan Xuezhen becomes more and more courageous.
"Professor Ruan likes to be close to people so much, so I will be close to you!" Tao Nanfeng stared at Ruan Xuezhen, her voice revealing anger.
She slowly raised her left hand and pressed it down hard again!
His shoulders were pressed down by two forces at the same time, and Ruan Xuezhen suddenly sat down.
Tao Nanfeng bent down, raised his hand and patted him hard on the back!
"Ah!" After a scream, Ruan Xuezhen leaned forward and almost fell to the ground.
Tao Nanfeng's hands were as fast as lightning. He grabbed Ruan Xuezhen's shoulders and lifted him up from the ground like a chick.
Everything happened so fast, it seemed like nothing happened.
Ruan Xuezhen stood there in a daze, with a fishy and sweet taste rising up in his throat. A gentleman uses his mouth, not his fists. This woman is simply disrespectful!
Tao Nanfeng smiled and said, "Shake hands, put your arm around my shoulder, pat me on the back, how do you feel, Professor Ruan?"
