He had asked the same question before, but that was because they had a good relationship; he could ask. Professor Jiang and Zhong Yuxiu were just talking to each other for the first time, so they asked it without hesitation.
The face is big.
Professor Ding looked at Professor Zheng, saying that he had never noticed that Professor Jiang had some problems with his character.
Professor Zheng shook his head and said, "Old Ding is right, but Professor Jiang is also concerned about Comrade Zhong! Let's all take a step back."
"I didn't mean anything else." Professor Jiang realized the problem belatedly, but he had already asked and couldn't take it back.
Zhong Yuxiu nodded, "Okay, for Professor Zheng's sake, let's forget about it."
The reconciliation was forced, and Professor Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, along with Professor Tian. They hadn't expected such a seemingly young woman to have such a righteous mind. But then again, if her mind wasn't righteous, how could she have independently developed several products that benefited the nation and its people? And how could she have the guts to transfer to another university to study medicine?
So, they can't just look at the surface.
With this incident, the atmosphere was a bit solemn; Zhong Yuxiu didn't care. She had lived long enough to see the world and meet many people, so she didn't take Professor Jiang seriously.
It was a good day today, the sun was hanging low in the sky, but because it was winter, it was not even at noon.
Zhong Yuxiu was starving, and the other professors were not much better. Professor Zheng finished grading the last test paper in his hand and said to everyone present.
"Let's do this for now. Let's go have lunch first and then continue with the revision after lunch."
"That's fine." Professor Ding finished revising the paper in his hand and wrote the ending at the end.
Professor Tian and Professor Jiang arrived late, with a stack of papers still halfway through their grading process. Professor Tian smiled and said, "You two go eat first. I'll continue grading for a while."
"Don't rush. There are so many papers. Take your time," Professor Ding advised. "We won't see their results until school starts anyway. We're old enough to eat, drink, and rest. If we live two more years, we might see even better development for our country."
Their generation is obsessed with developing a strong country, and few people are willing to see the country become stronger.
"Okay, I'll go after I change a few more pictures. You guys go first." Professor Tian smiled and nodded in agreement without moving.
Seeing this, Professor Zheng and Professor Ding did not try to persuade them any further. They called Zhong Yuxiu, said goodbye to them, and left the meeting room together.
"Professor Ding, are you familiar with Professor Wei Jiang?" Zhong Yuxiu asked after leaving the meeting room.
Professor Ding shook his head. "I'm not familiar with him. Although we work in the same department, we don't get to see each other often. He seemed like a nice guy before, at least well-mannered and polite. I didn't expect him to act so unruly today."
"Is that so?" Zhong Yuxiu thought thoughtfully.
Professor Zheng glanced at them and said, "I'm familiar with Professor Jiang. He was previously dismissed due to his overseas connections, but was later rehabilitated. He's a bit paranoid in his behavior and very strict in his teaching. Many students in his class find him unkind. He might be saying this today because he's genuinely worried you might be on the wrong track."
"No matter what the reason, you shouldn't ask questions casually to someone who is speaking for the first time, or even speak to them in a lecturing manner or tone." Professor Ding shook his head, feeling unhappy.
"Forget it." Professor Zheng waved his hand. "Professor Jiang may not have bad intentions."
Zhong Yuxiu nodded gently. "I know. I don't believe he has bad intentions. I'm just not interested in the matter, not the person. We're not close enough to ask casual questions about anything."
"Comrade Zhong, I'm glad you don't mind. Don't be unhappy. You chose to study medicine, and many people think you made the wrong choice. There are many people in our school who think so. If it weren't for President Guo's strong support and sending you to medical school, there would be even more people talking about you behind your back. Study hard. You must be good at everything you learn." Let alone them, even he was very confused at first. He just felt that he was not familiar with Zhong Yuxiu. After asking Professor Ding indirectly, he realized that she was going to do research in this area.
Except for a few people who know the real reason, no one outside knows.
Principal Guo and Professor Ding were not talkative people, so they set aside those they had a good relationship with and those who had to report; they told no one. Those who could make friends with them were naturally people they trusted, and the few people who knew about it would not say it out loud.
Yuxiu sincerely thanked Professor Zheng for his kindness. The three of them walked down the stairs together, and when they reached the last step, Yuxiu stopped.
"Professors, please go to the cafeteria first. I have something to do and need to leave for a while."
"Not eating lunch?" Professor Ding asked calmly.
Zhong Yuxiu shook her head and said, "Someone will come and bring food later."
"I see..." The two understood immediately. Their partners were here to deliver food. They knew how to do this. "I understand. We all understand. Let's go eat first."
Zhong Yuxiu's cheeks were slightly hot. After watching them walk away, she patted her face and turned to walk towards the school gate. When she reached the school gate, Haonan and Tian Shangguo noticed her at the first moment and came out from their hiding place.
"Comrade Zhong, you're off duty."
"It's you!" Zhong Yuxiu nodded, looking around but didn't see Yan Rushan. "I just got off. I have more work to do after dinner. Did you see Yan Rushan coming?"
Haonan smiled and said, "Comrade Yan has already gone in. I think he is going to the office to see you."
"Okay, you guys find a place to eat too. I'll go to the office first." Zhong Yuxiu turned around and left, and the way back to the office she chose was the route she usually took; this way, there was a high probability that the two of them would not miss each other.
She walked up the stairs and saw Yan Rushan from afar. He was tall and handsome, holding a thermos in one hand and a lot of other things in the other.
"Brother Yan."
Yan Rushan turned around and smiled, his thin lips curled slightly. "Yuxiu, you are done."
"Yes, we are grading papers in the conference room in another building, not in the office. Sorry to have kept you waiting." Zhong Yuxiu looked apologetic.
"That's fine." Yan Rushan smiled. "Do you want to eat in the cafeteria or in the office?"
Zhong Yuxiu thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the cafeteria."
"OK."
"Give me some of the things. Look, your hands are full. Bring less next time. It's tiring." Yuxiu stretched out her hand.
Yan Rushan took a step back and said, "I can do it. It's troublesome to switch things around. I can still carry this little weight. Let's go to the cafeteria. If we're late, there won't be any good food."
"Don't worry if there's nothing. You brought me so many dishes. I won't need to order any more." The key point is that the food in the Huada cafeteria is really not that good.
"Then I have to get some rice. I didn't bring much rice with me when I came here, so I can eat more in the cafeteria." I was worried before, but now I feel relieved.
Without entering the office, the two of them went to the cafeteria.
The cafeteria of Hua University is spacious with many seats. It is very crowded at mealtime. Zhong Yuxiu searched for a long time before she found Professor Zheng and Professor Ding. They were sitting with several other professors and had already started eating.
