Chapter 129 The Big Brother Seeking Death
After Zuo Tianhua and Shi Yuxi left, An Qiuli said to Taotao hesitantly, "Taotao, is it true that each person in our department can only borrow two dollars per week?"
Seeing Taotao looking at her, she blushed and quickly explained, "I, I'm just worried about Yicheng!"
Taotao's heart is as clear as a mirror.
——When Taotao was sorting out old accounts, she discovered that Senior Sister An was also a person who borrowed a lot of money. She was certainly speaking up for Chen Yicheng, but she was also worried about herself!
It just so happened that Taotao talked about this with Professor Fu two days ago.
What Professor Fu meant is: we still need to seize the day and increase revenue and reduce expenditure in all aspects. At the end of the year, if there is a surplus of allowances, it will be distributed to everyone as welfare.
So Tao Tao conveyed Professor Fu's idea and asked everyone, "Seniors, do we have any ideas for increasing revenue and reducing expenditure?"
This topic aroused everyone's interest.
Even the nerd Deng Gaoyun fell into deep thought.
Qi Huan, the most taciturn senior sister, was the first to speak up, "Then let's save the money on stationery! Don't buy notebooks or anything like that anymore. We can use the ones from Agricultural University. They're ready-made!"
An Qiuli whispered, "This is indeed a method, but saving the money for a few notebooks... won't save much in a month."
Qi Huan remained silent.
Tao Tao said, "I have an idea, brothers and sisters, please listen to it..."
Deng Gaoyun, "You say."
Tao Tao said: "The total amount of our allowance is fixed every year and can be calculated. The teacher will allocate us a fixed amount every month, which includes everyone's salary, as well as daily expenses such as stationery consumption and damage to items..."
"I was thinking, if we can control the reimbursement accounts, we can save more than 30 yuan a month... I can find a way to get soap, laundry detergent, shampoo, toothpaste and other things cheaper than the market price, and of course I can also exchange them for meal tickets... These can be used as welfare and distributed to everyone... What do you think?"
An Qiuli whispered again, "Your idea is good, and it benefits everyone... but it's just about saving money. The money saved in a month is probably only three or five yuan, which is not enough for emergencies. If you get sick, it's like a dream to buy a thick cotton coat in winter."
Chen Yicheng spoke in a low voice, "Senior Sister Qi and Junior Sister are thinking of cutting costs, so, then let me throw out a suggestion for a way to increase revenue?"
Everyone immediately became excited——
"I'm waiting for you, tell me now!"
"explain!"
"Hurry up and tell me!"
"Brother Chen, tell me!"
Chen Yicheng, "We... grow our own vegetables?"
An Qiuli was the first to object. "Why grow vegetables? Do you want to cook in the lab? There's really no need! The food in our cafeteria is not delicious, but it is famous for being economical. If we cook for ourselves, the cost may be higher than going to the cafeteria! Besides, who will cook? You men, don't even think of asking us women to cook..."
"...and then we sell the vegetables we grow to the canteen?" Chen Yichen said the second half of the sentence in a low voice.
An Qiuli: ...
Everyone became excited all of a sudden!
Deng Gaoyun nodded slowly, "I think it's okay!"
An Qiuli was worried, "We don't have much land to plant! The experimental field was built according to the project's planting plan."
Tao Tao said, "We can build a shelf in the greenhouse to plant flowers in pots. We don't need to build too many. Two or three wooden shelves, each with seven or eight layers, will be enough to improve our lives a little. Also, we can get some rotten wood and plant mushrooms. We can dry it and save it, and sell it at the end of the year..."
Qi Huan, who had been rejected by An Qiuli, regained some spirits and said excitedly: "We can also grow winter melons and pumpkins. There are many melons on one vine. We can build a rack for them to climb and they won't take up any space!"
Chen Yicheng, "Grow some more chives. After you cut one crop, another will grow. You can harvest it several times!"
Deng Gao nodded, "We should increase revenue and reduce expenditure, a two-pronged approach. Even if we can only increase revenue by a few dollars a month and reduce expenditure by a small amount, it would be good if we can earn an extra five or six dollars a month."
As we talked about this, we became more and more excited.
Deng Gaoyun and Chen Yicheng said that they could set up the wooden frame during the break; Qi Huan and An Qiuli said that they could look around to see if anyone had discarded a broken washbasin or something… Most washbasins are made of enamel or tin, which are quite expensive, and most students would not easily discard them. But this is a five-school alliance after all, so they should be able to find some…
Tao Tao also said, "Then let's use this week to prepare. Next week when I come over, I'll bring some vegetable seeds and we'll plant them as soon as possible! The earlier we plant, the earlier we can harvest."
After this chat, Taotao became more familiar with her senior brothers and sisters.
Seeing that the time was almost up, she took out a handwritten list from her bag and asked everyone to pass it around.
Except for Zuo Tianhua and Shi Yuxi who were not present, everyone else looked at it and nodded - this was a list. It clearly lists which expenses can be reimbursed and which expenses cannot be reimbursed, and has the handwritten signature of the master teacher Qingyan.
Taotao did this because when she was sorting out old accounts, she found that Zuo Tianhua's accounts were the most messy.
——The items he asked the department to reimburse included but were not limited to: collared shirts, leather shoes, biscuits, milk powder, fruits, etc.
Taotao asked Professor Fu why even such personal things were reimbursed.
Professor Fu sighed, "I used to think that he and Yuxi were married, and although they didn't have any children yet, both of them had elderly parents and heavy family burdens, so I turned a blind eye. I didn't expect that he would become more and more aggressive later... In fact, as early as a year ago, I had already told him not to report his personal expenses to the department in the future, as it would have a bad impact! But he still did what he wanted!"
"Taotao, I'm afraid that after he gets to the new unit, he will still use the same old tricks... then not only will it embarrass me, it will also be bad for him! But he has such a stubborn temper... hey, he even doesn't listen to me!" Professor Fu was angry and helpless.
So Taotao discussed with Professor Fu what the department could and could not reimburse in the future.
Now everyone has seen this list and knows the reimbursement principle: only things bought for the public can be reimbursed to the public account, and personal items and expenses cannot be reimbursed to the public account...
Of course, this is as it should be.
No one raised any objection.
So Taotao posted the list in the most conspicuous place on the blackboard in the department.
After posting this "Financial Reimbursement Instructions", Taotao left.
A week passed.
It was Thursday afternoon again. As soon as Taotao finished her class at the Agricultural University, she did not delay and hurried to the Agricultural University's Research Institute.
I looked at the time and it was only half past three.
Taotao went to the laboratory.
——The laboratory is just behind the department. It is actually a greenhouse covering an area of about 200 square meters. Because the department was too poor, the greenhouse, which was originally supposed to be a glass house, only had glass accounting for about one-fifth, and the rest was made of plastic film.
Deng Gaoyun and his fellow juniors were squatting inside, writing down some notes...
Zuo Tianhua and Shi Yuxi were nowhere to be seen.
Taotao greeted them loudly.
When everyone saw her, they greeted her with a smile.
During this week, Taotao would of course come to see everyone at noon or on days when she had no classes, and she had become very familiar with everyone.
Taotao leaned over the glass window to look, and indeed found four simple wooden racks in the corner of the laboratory. Each rack had five layers, and each rack had two worn-out washbasins filled with soil...
Each washbasin has a different color, style, and degree of damage. They are piled together in a mess, making it look like a scrap collection station.
However, Taotao had brought some vegetable seeds before, and I believe that the seniors also went to find some vegetable seeds on their own, and they should have been planted in those broken basins by now.
Taotao likes to see the cute look of plants breaking through the soil and swaying their tender sprouts in the sunshine and rain.
She stared at the dozens of broken pots carefully, taking note of the fact that there was nothing in the pots except soil... In the future, she would be able to witness the slow growth of these plants.
Taotao is very much looking forward to it.
After a while, several seniors finished their work, washed their hands, took off their blue work uniforms, changed their shoes, left the laboratory, returned to the department, and came to Taotao with notes for reimbursement.
The amounts are not large.
After all, all things related to the experiment were allocated from special funds and purchased all at once at the end of the year. The things that people come to claim reimbursement for are nothing more than running out of stationery and buying some from outside; broken tables and chairs and buying nails from outside to repair them; a cracked window and cutting a piece off from outside to replace it...
Small amounts like that.
Taotao carefully looked through all the invoices, reimbursed everyone, and also handled the loan procedures for Chen Yicheng and An Qiuli.
During this time, Zuo Tianhua came over and took a look, but he stood at the door of the office and didn't come in. He just left as if nothing had happened.
Just as Fourth Brother Deng Gaoyun said, there were not many people in the department and not much to do, so Taotao only took twenty minutes to handle all the tasks.
But why didn’t Zuo Tianhua and Shi Yuxi come?
Don’t they want reimbursement?
Taotao certainly doesn't think so.
You know, Zuo Tianhua just came over and took a look around, then left without saying anything.
Taotao could roughly guess Zuo Tianhua's routine and couldn't help but sneer.
She chatted leisurely with the senior brothers and sisters present for a while, and asked what vegetables were planted in the broken pots on the shelves and when they were planted... Then she calculated that the first batch would be harvested in about two months, which would improve everyone's life!
At 4:59, Taotao was ready to leave.
——As a result, Zuo Tianhua walked into the department with a huge pile of documents. With his nose in the air, he threw the pile of documents heavily onto the desk in front of Tao Tao, making a loud "bang".
There was a sudden silence in the department.
Taotao looked up at the clock calmly.
The wall clock shows that it is five o'clock in the afternoon.
"Hey, whoever it is, get all these accounts sorted out for me right now."
Zuo Tianhua's thunderous tone was filled with contempt and disdain. He directly replaced Taotao with "that guy" and didn't even look at Taotao.
Except for Deng Gaoyun, An Qiuli, Qi Huan and Chen Yicheng all looked pale.
They all joined the sect later than Zuo Tianhua. When they first arrived, almost everyone of them was isolated by Zuo Tianhua using this kind of terrifying and repressive method.
From then on, they were afraid of Zuo Tianhua.
No matter how dissatisfied he was with Zuo Tianhua, he dared not say a word.
Now seeing that Zuo Tianhua treated the pregnant Taotao in the same way again... and his attitude was even worse, everyone couldn't help but sweat, fearing that something might happen to Taotao.
Taotao ignored Wei Tianhua and simply tidied up the mess in the drawer. She stood up, walked past Zuo Tianhua without even looking at him, and walked out of the department.
When others saw this, they also left. Some returned to the laboratory, and some left the department.
Except Deng Gaoyun.
The lively conversation just now suddenly became dull.
Zuo Tianhua was stunned for a while, still not believing that Taotao was gone...
After all, he is the teacher's most capable disciple and has been here the longest. Who dares not to respect him and who dares not to regard him as the second-in-command?
So he stared blankly at Bai Taotao's back, always feeling that she would come back again.
I never thought that she was really gone.
Going further and further? ? ?
Zuo Tianhua was furious. He beat his chest and stamped his feet and said, "Hey, what's wrong with this person? What's going on! Ah, why does she have this attitude? No, I have to go find the teacher!"
Just at this moment, Professor Fu came over here with a document in his hand, flipping through it.
Zuo Tianhua quickly called her, "Teacher!"
Professor Fu looked up at him and asked, "What are you doing here? Have you analyzed all the data components of the fourth phase of the sweet potato project?"
Zuo Tianhua: ...
"Uh, um, um... I'll ask them to show you the log later."
Then he said, "Teacher, do you know? Today is Thursday. Didn't the newcomer take the initiative to set rules for us, saying that he should come every Thursday afternoon to handle our reimbursements? Look, I came here on time, but she left before the time!" Zuo Tianhua complained directly.
Professor Fu frowned and grasped the point accurately: "Did you come here on time?"
As she spoke, she looked at her watch.
——It’s ten minutes after five in the afternoon now? ? ?
"Tianhua, Taotao has informed me that she comes here every Thursday afternoon and stays for an hour, from four to five o'clock...but it's already past five o'clock, and you're just coming to see her?" Professor Fu asked.
Zuo Tianhua shouted excitedly: "No, it was not even five o'clock when I came to see her!"
Professor Fu frowned, "I don't believe it."
Zuo Tianhua was very excited, "If you don't believe me, find her back! I'll confront her face to face!"
Professor Fu tried his best to comfort her: "Tianhua, Taotao is pregnant. It's not good to toss her back and forth like this!"
"Then why do you insist on letting a pregnant woman who could get into trouble at any time do this job?" Zuo Tianhua said aggressively, "...I have told you many times before that Yuxi can do this kind of trivial matter, but you insist on letting the newcomer do it. Why do you do that?"
Professor Fu took a deep breath——
She was about to speak.
A sweet and pleasant voice sounded, "Hello, teacher!"
Professor Fu and Zuo Tianhua turned their heads at the same time and saw the smiling Bai Taotao.
Professor Fu breathed a sigh of relief, put on a smile, and spoke in a softer tone, "Taotao, why haven't you left yet?"
Tao Tao made up an excuse and said, "I forgot to take something."
In fact, it was An Qiuli who ran over to find her and said that Zuo Tianhua and Professor Fu had a quarrel and begged Taotao to come back.
Taotao followed An Qiuli back.
Zuo Tianhua sneered, "Now that you're back, get to work!"
As he spoke, he pointed at the pile of papers on the desk with an extremely arrogant look and said, "You, hurry up! Everything must be sorted out for me. When you finish the work, you can leave... I'm still waiting for reimbursement!"
Taotao walked over without saying a word.
She bent down, opened the drawer, took out a piece of blank paper, closed the drawer, stuffed the white paper into her bag, then turned and left.
When they reached the door, Taotao said to Professor Fu, "Teacher, I'm leaving now. See you tomorrow!"
From beginning to end, he still ignored Zuo Tianhua.
Zuo Tianhua was stunned again.
He had always enjoyed the respect and obedience from his fellow junior students, but he didn't expect that this new girl, who looked so delicate and gentle, was actually so unruly and did what she wanted.
Zuo Tianhua's anger, which he had suppressed with great difficulty, rose to his head again. He yelled at Professor Fu, "You saw it with your own eyes this time, right? Ah? I'm not lying! Today, today... let her hand over to Yuxi! We will get this done."
Professor Fu was also furious. "Who do you want to handle the handover with Yuxi? What is the handover about?"
Zuo Tianhua pointed at Bai Taotao's back, his face not looking good, "You are not going to fool me too, are you? Okay, if you are hiding it like this, then I will speak frankly! Let her, let the newcomer! Handle the financial handover procedures with Yuxi! Now, immediately!"
"Are you ordering me?" Professor Fu stared at Zuo Tianhua, his chest heaving violently.
Zuo Tianhua was stunned for a moment, and his tone became gentle, "Of course not... I'm sorry, teacher, I, I was just mad at the new guy. Mainly, I've never seen someone so irresponsible at work. I, I was just angry for a moment, but I was also doing it for the good of the team... Teacher, I believe you understand me."
Professor Fu shouted, "Taotao, if it won't delay you, please wait a moment!"
Taotao walked slowly, waiting for these words.
She came back immediately, "Teacher, please tell me what you want to say."
Professor Fu asked her, "Zuo Tianhua said that he came to you to settle the bill, but you ignored him, right?"
Tao Tao, "No!"
Zuo Tianhua widened his eyes, pointed at Taotao's nose and said, "You are still lying with your eyes open?! Our team does not welcome dishonest people like you!"
Unlike the furious Zuo Tianhua, Tao Tao said calmly, "Senior Brother Zuo, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! How am I dishonest?"
Zuo Tianhua was so angry that he pointed at An Qiuli, Qi Huan and others, and said to Tao Tao: "Do you dare to ask them if I told you to get the reimbursement done right away?"
"Then ask!" Taotao said.
Zuo Tianhua was stunned again.
——He really didn't expect that he was so angry and even Professor Fu couldn't stand it anymore, but Bai Taotao still looked unmoved?
However, he was not afraid.
These fellow junior brothers and sisters had already succumbed to his power long ago, and he was not afraid of confronting Bai Taotao at all.
Seeing Zuo Tianhua speechless for a moment, Tao Tao said, "Since Senior Brother doesn't want to speak, let me ask!"
only……
When Taotao looked at An Qiuli, An Qiuli glanced at Taotao quickly, turned and left.
Taotao looked at Qi Huan again.
Qi Huan's face was pale, but he stood there stubbornly, biting his lower lip tightly.
Tao Tao asked Qi Huan, "Senior Sister Qi, did you hear Senior Brother Zuo specifically asking me to get reimbursement for him?"
Qi Huan didn't say anything, but shook his head.
Zuo Tianhua narrowed his eyes and stared at Qi Huan, with resentment in his eyes.
Qi Huan's face turned pale and he lowered his head, not daring to look him in the face.
Tao Tao saw Deng Gaoyun standing at the door of the department with his arms folded, so she asked him again, "Senior Brother Deng, did you hear Senior Brother Zuo specifically asking me to help him with the reimbursement?"
Deng Gaoyun said loudly: "No!"
Zuo Tianhua was not particularly surprised by Deng Gaoyun's defection. After all, Deng Gaoyun was the only one who dared to go against him.
But he has never been able to do anything with Deng Gaoyun. Although Deng Gaoyun has only been there for more than two years, his professional level is far above his. He is highly regarded by the teachers and is the only person in the department who dares to confront him head-on. Therefore, Zuo Tianhua would subconsciously avoid Deng Gaoyun and never dared to cause trouble for him.
At this moment, Zuo Tianhua was glaring at Qi Huan angrily.
Qi Huan's entire body was trembling slightly. She lowered her head and stood still, her hands clenched into fists... It was hard to tell whether she was afraid or angry.
Taotao smiled, "Hey, Senior Brother Zuo, you heard it too, right? I stayed in the department until five past five. I didn't hear you tell me that you wanted to ask me to handle the reimbursement... I only saw you, Senior Brother Zuo, speaking with your nose in the air and in a high-handed manner, and I thought you were bossing the air around!"
Zuo Tianhua understood and said angrily: "You are taking advantage of the situation! Didn't I just not call your name? I said 'that person' to come and handle my reimbursement... I didn't call you, who should I call? In this department, who else is in charge of reimbursement besides you? Besides you, who else comes and thinks he is the leader and makes the rules... Did you ask me if I agree or not? You make the rules!"
"Thank you, Brother Zuo, for reminding me! So, I'm going to revise the reimbursement rules. From now on, I'll accept reimbursements from 4:00 to 4:30 every Thursday afternoon. Any reimbursements after 4:30 will be processed next week. Brother Zuo, please listen carefully!" Taotao said word by word.
Tao Tao then said to Deng Gaoyun and Qi Huan, "Could you please ask Senior Brother Deng and Senior Sister Qi to notify Senior Sister Shi, Senior Sister An, and Senior Brother Chen for me?"
Deng Qi and the other nodded.
Zuo Tianhua was so angry that his mind went blank. He pointed at the pile of papers on the desk and said, "Those...are you not going to deal with them?"
Taotao smiled, "Yes, we won't accept your application this week. Please come back early next Thursday! And I have to remind Brother Zuo of three things... First, if you still don't call my name next week, I won't accept your application! Because I don't know who you are talking to! Also, if your attitude is too bad, I won't understand what you are saying... We are colleagues, why do you have to order the proletariat around like the capitalists in the old society?"
When it came to class issues, Zuo Tian became a little more sober.
Tao Tao continued, "Secondly, even if Senior Brother Zuo asked me to calculate the reimbursement details for you in a nice way, I accepted it, but I haven't finished calculating it yet, so it will be postponed to next week! Thirdly, the chopping board and kitchen knife that Senior Brother Zuo bought have nothing to do with the laboratory, right? Even if you apply for reimbursement, I will not agree to reimburse you."
——Just now she took a quick glance and found that among the documents Zuo Tianhua brought, there were reimbursements for chopping boards, kitchen knives, coal briquettes, vinegar, and even insoles...
It's just outrageous.
Zuo Tianhua finally regained his sanity and widened his eyes again, "I was able to report it before, why can't I report it now?"
Tao Tao, "Because the previous financial system was not perfect! Now that I have taken over, I have already made a list of all the expenses that can be reimbursed and those that cannot be reimbursed, asked the teacher to sign it, and posted it on the wall of the department. Didn't Senior Brother Zuo see it?"
Zuo Tianhua really didn’t see it.
He will be defending his thesis in the second half of the year, ending his graduate career, and will be heading to a research institute soon. He has been feeling very proud lately.
So he basically never came to the department. Even if he came, he just spoke some official language, scolded a few junior colleagues and then left. He never noticed the piece of paper Taotao had posted in the department.
His wife Shi Yuxi seemed to have told him about this once, but he didn't take it seriously. He felt that he had worked hard for his teacher for several years, and these reimbursements had been available from the beginning. How could such a thing happen when there were only a few months left before his departure?
But, does Bai Taotao dare to say this in front of the teacher?
I guess the teacher knows this too?
Zuo Tianhua stared at Professor Fu, "Teacher, what's going on?"
Professor Fu frowned and said, "Tianhua, I told you a year ago that you can no longer use the public account for your personal expenses..."
"Then why was it possible before?" Zuo Tianhua asked.
Professor Fu took a deep breath——
"Do you really want me to explain it clearly? I don't need to show you any mercy at all?" Professor Fu asked.
Zuo Tianhua was puzzled. "No, aren't we talking about reimbursement now? What are you talking about now?"
Professor Fu looked at Zuo Tianhua with a look of disappointment, "I am answering your question now... But first, I want to ask you, Zuo Tianhua, are you following up on the four projects I have?"
"Is that even a question?"
Professor Fu asked again, "Are you really following up?"
Zuo Tianhua, "What do you mean?"
Professor Fu immediately asked Zuo Tianhua several questions related to the project.
Zuo Tianhua: ...
He was stunned for a moment before he said, "I, I'll check the log later and I'll know."
Professor Fu raised the information in his hand and said, "No need to bother you. I have checked the logs myself and I know all the data. I don't need you anymore."
Zuo Tianhua's face changed, "Teacher, what do you mean?"
Professor Fu, "Don't you understand? Gao Yun led them to do the experiment, they recorded the data, they wrote the log, they wrote the report, and they personally reported the project progress to me... Zuo Tianhua, what on earth are you doing?"
Zuo Tianhua was stunned. "Are you... blaming me?"
Professor Fu nodded, "I'm blaming you."
Zuo Tianhua was anxious, "But, but when each of them joined the department, I taught them step by step..."
Deng Gaoyun immediately said, "Wait! I don't agree with that! All the professional knowledge I learned was taught by the university lecturers and Professor Fu himself. You have nothing to do with it! Don't flatter yourself!"
"you--"
Zuo Tianhua was furious, "You guys! You guys have grown too powerful! Are you going to cross the river and then destroy the bridge?"
Professor Fu asked Zuo Tianhua a few questions about another project.
Zuo Tianhua still couldn't answer a single question.
He was breathing heavily.
Professor Fu asked all the questions about the projects she was working on in one breath.
Zuo Tianhua was speechless.
Professor Fu said, "Tianhua, it wasn't like this before. You used to care about the progress of the project, studied seriously, and worked hard... I feel relieved to have you around. So, in order to let you work without worries in the future, I will use the allowance to reimburse you for many of the things you need in life."
"What about now? You asked me why I could reimburse your personal living supplies before, but not now? Tianhua, I also want to ask you, why you were able to work diligently before, but not now?" Professor Fu asked.
Zuo Tianhua's face was burning. He pointed at Deng Gaoyun and said to Professor Fu, "Teacher, we have them now! There are more people in the department. Can't we let them do those small things?"
"So you let it go?" Professor Fu asked.
Zuo Tianhua, "I..."
Professor Fu said disappointedly: "I am your advisor. Even I am still working at the grassroots level and doing practical work on the front line. Do you think you can stay in the laboratory peacefully?"
"No, you don't even come into the lab, or even to the department! I've been in the lab for a whole week recently, and I only saw you once today!"
"Zuo Tianhua, what are you doing?" Professor Fu asked word by word.
Zuo Tianhua took a deep breath desperately——
"teacher……"
Professor Fu ignored him and continued, "You have been with me for four years. Strictly speaking, this year is already your fifth year... A master's student who failed five defenses... How dare you be a role model for Gao Yun and others?"
“Teacher, you…”
Professor Fu said, "What a mess your own paper is. Have you read it yourself? It was all written by Yuxi for you, right? Did you know that part of it is repeated in Yuxi's paper? I was thinking about you, and this is how you fooled me?"
Zuo Tianhua's face turned pale and he cursed his wife in his heart.
Professor Fu continued, "Think about it again. What was your attitude towards me just now? How could you... question me about trivial matters like this? Do you really think you are a big shot? Am I your leader, or are you my leader? What qualifications do you have to yell at me? I appointed Taotao to be the accountant. What do you think of it? What right do you have to point fingers at me?"
"It's ridiculous that I always think about you and take your face into consideration, but you end up slapping me in the face like this? Should Gao Yun and the others learn from you and try to put themselves above me?" Professor Fu became angrier the more he spoke.
Zuo Tianhua finally realized that he was afraid and also that he was afraid of being embarrassed, but Professor Fu was very angry at the moment and he couldn't confront him.
He had no choice but to lower his voice and said, "Teacher, I, I will go to your office to explain the problem..."
Professor Fu, "No need! Zuo Tianhua, I am extremely disappointed in you!"
Just at this moment, Song Zhi came over on his bicycle.
——He had agreed with Taotao to wait at the school gate, but after waiting for more than ten minutes, no one showed up. I rode my bike in to look for her, and actually found Taotao in the department.
Professor Fu forced a smile and said, "Xiao Song is here?"
Song Zhi looked at the expressions of the teachers and students, guessing that something unhappy had happened, so he prepared to greet Professor Fu politely and then quickly leave with Taotao.
Zuo Tianhua hung his head and said nothing.
His social circle is not large and is limited to the Agricultural University. In the past few years, he frequently went to grassroots experimental fields, and in the past two years he only stayed in the Agricultural Research Institute... So he didn't know Song Zhi at all, nor did he know that Song Zhi was Bai Taotao's husband.
But when he saw that Song Zhi was about the same age as him, probably even younger, and heard Professor Fu call him "Little Song"... he didn't take Song Zhi seriously.
Now Zuo Tianhua’s mind is full of thoughts: What is going on? What's the problem? Hasn’t it always been like this? Why was he suddenly disliked by the teacher? He is about to defend himself again. What if something goes wrong at this critical juncture? Can I still enter the research institute?
He had already made a promise to his family back home that if he couldn't get into the research institute...
That would be so embarrassing!
On second thought…
Zuo Tianhua looked at Bai Taotao and gritted his teeth in hatred.
He thought indignantly: It's because of this woman that he was disliked by the teacher! It would be so frustrating if I don't show her how powerful I am!
But how can we discipline this woman?
After thinking it over, Zuo Tianhua was certain that while Xiao Song, an outsider, was present, the teacher would not be embarrassed to embarrass him in front of Xiao Song...
Why not take this opportunity to attack Bai Taotao?
As for the teacher, I will just beg her secretly later.
The teacher is a loyal and kind-hearted person. He will definitely not make things difficult for him because of their past friendship.
Thinking of this, Zuo Tianhua said to his fellow students in a low voice, "Alright, alright, the teacher has something to do, everyone go home! Go do what you need to do!"
Then he looked at Taotao again and said righteously, "Bai Taotao, go and finish your work! I tell you, we don't keep idle people in our department! If you have real skills, you can stay. If not, get out!"
"I'm warning you! Don't take advantage of the fact that you're pregnant and say you can't do this or that! Don't you women always say that women hold up half the sky? Then go to work! When you've settled those accounts, then leave! Otherwise, don't come here again in the future!" Zuo Tianhua said sternly.
Suddenly, the scene was silent.
Everyone was stunned.
Except for Zuo Tianhua, everyone else knew that Song Zhi was Junior Sister Bai Taotao's husband. They came... just to pick up the pregnant Junior Sister. But it turned out that Wei Tianhua didn't know whether he really had no idea that Song Zhi was the Junior Sister's husband? Or did he not even know Song Zhi at all, and actually suppressed his junior sister like this in front of Song Zhi?
I have to say, everyone in the department felt quite ashamed.
Professor Fu held his forehead with his hand: How could such a stupid person be my student?
Qi Huan: No one else has such low EQ.
Deng Gaoyun: Don’t underestimate Song Zhi because he is young. He works at a research institute and has a high rank and is also qualified to be an internal reference. Zuo Tianhua bullied my junior sister in front of Song Zhi. I'm just waiting to see how Zuo Tianhua dies!
