Do you want to be so dog-like?
The corners of Zhong Yuxiu's mouth twitched slightly, "Principal Guo, you know I'm busy right now, teaching the class..."
"It's settled. There will be extra subsidies for teaching classes, but it will be hard work for you." Principal Guo made the decision with a smile.
Zhong Yuxiu: “….”
"Principal Guo, don't get excited. I'm afraid I don't have time! You know I'm in medical school, and I need to often follow my teachers on their visits. I also have classes to attend, so I really can't lead a class." After a pause, seeing that his smile was failing to hold, she continued awkwardly, "Besides, I'm too young. Those students won't trust me, right?"
Teaching is fine, but leading a class? No, I don't want to, it's impossible.
Principal Guo's smile faded, and he lowered his head and sighed, "I really have no choice. The professors in our physics department are all very busy. They have to conduct research, teach classes, and guide students. They are busy with work every day. Many of them are too old, and I am really worried that they will get sick from overwork. You are still young and can do the job."
You can't blame him for wanting to blame her for everything; there's really nothing he can do!
"President Guo, how about you recruit a few more professors? I think many people would be willing to come."
"How do I recruit? All the knowledgeable and talented people who have been rehabilitated have been recruited by major universities. But where can I find those who haven't been rehabilitated?"
Zhong Yuxiu stared at him for a moment and said sympathetically, "That's really hard for you."
"That's right. It's so difficult for me." Having his heart broken, Principal Guo looked at Zhong Yuxiu with a different look, as if he had found a kindred spirit. "Then do you think you could lead the class? Just consider it as helping me solve a problem?"
"No, don't even think about it. It's impossible."
Principal Guo pursed his lips and said, "Comrade Zhong! Actually, I asked your teacher, and he said you have a natural talent for medicine. You don't need to follow theoretical courses right now, what you need is more practice..."
“Practice also takes time to do.”
"It can be practiced anywhere. I really can't find anyone here. You know, next year's freshmen are the second batch of students to enroll. Other schools have already enrolled students in the second half of this semester, but at Huada, they haven't enrolled yet. Everything is just not arranged yet."
The resumption of the college entrance examination came too suddenly, and all major universities had to host it temporarily; although it has been almost a year, it is considered to be on the right track, but after all, there is a shortage of manpower and everything!
"If you're worried about delaying your medical studies, I'll discuss this with your teacher. I'll notify you when there are practical classes, and you'll go to attend them. You'll follow your teacher in making medical appointments, but you'll mainly be at Huazhong University on weekdays." Principal Guo said with a bitter face, frowning. "Comrade Zhong, I'm getting old, and I'm not sure how long I can live. Right now, we want to train more talents for the country. Everyone is working hard for this, and I don't want to delay them! You're talented, knowledgeable, and sensible. You've been teaching under Professor Ding for some time now, so you're the most suitable candidate."
She knew Principal Guo's difficulties, but she was unwilling to increase his workload.
"Principal Guo, let's put it this way. It's really difficult for you. I agree to teach the class, but I have one request."
"you say."
Zhong Yuxiu sighed and said, "I can lead the class, but I really can't help it when I'm busy. Can you choose a monitor and a deputy monitor to take over? When I'm not around, I can promote one of them to take charge. If there's anything important, have them come to you. Do you think this is okay? If so, I'll lead it. If not, you can ask someone else."
"Okay, okay." Principal Guo nodded immediately, fearing she would regret it. "Then you will teach the freshman class, Physics Class 1. Remember, next year's school starts on the twelfth day of the first lunar month, which is also the date they enroll. The classes have already been divided according to their grades. I'll give you the list when the time comes."
She felt like she was falling into a pit, but she knew it wasn't an illusion.
"Okay, do you have anything else to do? If not, I'll leave first."
If she stayed any longer, she was afraid she would get into trouble again.
Principal Guo beamed, his expression changing faster than the weather. "Comrade Zhong, thank you so much. If you hadn't accepted, I wouldn't have been able to find anyone, and the senior professors would have been in trouble. If you have time, you could have taken on a few more students..."
Zhong Yuxiu was afraid of him and quickly said goodbye and left.
I can’t afford to offend you, so I’ll just run away.
Principal Guo looked at her back, shook his head and chuckled, feeling a pity in his heart; if the students could learn even 50% of what Zhong Yuxiu has taught them, they would benefit from it for the rest of their lives.
"Comrade Zhong, you're back. What did Principal Guo say?" Professor Ding looked at the man walking towards him listlessly and greeted him with concern.
Zhong Yuxiu nodded and sighed, "Principal Guo said that starting next semester, we'll have five classes per week and I'll have to teach a whole class."
Headache!
"That's great!" Professor Ding was delighted, his old eyes gleaming with joy. "You're the first person to stay on at Huazhong University of Science and Technology after ten years. It's great to be recognized so quickly. If you work hard, leading a class isn't difficult. We have class leaders."
"You! Don't be so gloomy. Work hard. It'll be easy once you get the hang of it. Look at me, I'm in this situation too. I'm busy with research and teaching, so I don't have much time to manage the class. As long as the class leaders are responsible, you don't have to interfere too much. Just focus on the general direction."
Zhong Yuxiu agreed very much. Otherwise, she would never take over this business no matter what.
"You are quite right. That is exactly what I planned."
Professor Ding had a kind smile. They were both in the same line of work, so they shared some experiences with each other, like an old senior guiding the younger generation.
As the two were talking, Professor Zheng, who was good friends with Professor Ding, came over. The physics department needed to grade the test papers, but they were short of staff. It just so happened that they were free and successfully conscripted some men.
"Old Zheng, why are there so many test papers for the Physics Department?" When we arrived, we found a simply furnished meeting room with a long table and stools on both sides. The table was old and piled with rolled-up test papers.
Zhong Yuxiu felt dizzy. With so many test papers, how long would it take for the three of them to finish correcting them?
"Professor Zheng, are we just the three of us?"
"No, some people will be here later. However, everyone has to manage their classes first, so not everyone will be here at the same time." Professor Zheng said, then walked to the table and took the papers away. There was a box there. Professor Zheng opened it and placed it on the outside of the table. "We have pens and ink, please feel free to use them."
Zhong Yuxiu walked forward and opened the box. There were eight pens inside. They were not big brands. She guessed that they were provided by the school. They were too expensive and they were reluctant to give them out for others to use.
He took out one and gave it to Professor Ding, "Professor, please check if there is any ink."
"good."
"No need to look, they are all full." Professor Zheng had already walked to the head of the table and sat down. After hearing her words, he looked up and spoke with a slight smile.
