Professor Ding did not say any more words of advice. When she arrived in class, the classmates' eyes lit up when they saw Zhong Yuxiu. After being separated for half a semester, they didn't know what Zhong Yuxiu had been doing, they only knew that she was not in school.
"Assistant Professor Zhong has some free time today, so you can catch up and chat after class. Although you've already taken the exam, I still need to review the progress you've made. I'll review it again when school starts to deepen your impressions. Now, open your textbooks, and we'll continue with yesterday's topic..."
With Zhong Yuxiu away, Professor Ding had to take over the work of accelerating the progress;
Professor Ding likes to teach in a step-by-step manner. He guides students well and helps them review a semester's courses. The students study very seriously; they only occasionally glance at Zhong Yuxiu who is standing behind them.
Zhong Yuxiu was calm and composed. After Professor Ding finished the class, Xu Hongqi rushed to her side, took her hand and asked her with concern.
"Mr. Zhong, where have you been? Did something happen? We asked Professor Ding, but he refused to tell us."
"It's okay, I'm fine. Thank you, Xu, for your concern." Patting her shoulder, Xu Hongqi had a good heart and was considered her first friend at school. "I've been studying at another school recently, so I haven't had time to come back. You don't have to worry about me."
All the classmates gathered around. There was no conflict or even any contradiction. When facing Zhong Yuxiu, many of them admired her and admired her for being so strong.
"Mr. Zhong, which school are you studying in?"
"Mr. Zhong, what are you going to study? Your grades are so good, why do you need to go to another school?"
.......
"Mr. Zhong, you haven't been back for such a long time, we all miss you; when you're not here, no one can surpass us with their grades."
I don’t know who said the last word, but it made the classmates burst into laughter.
Zhong Yuxiu couldn't help but smile. "I've been studying at the medical school lately. Thank you all for thinking of me. We'll be on holiday the day after tomorrow. Do you have any plans to go somewhere fun? Or should we just go home?"
"Go home! I'm definitely going home." A thin female classmate spoke first, and others echoed her. There were also one or two students from relatively well-off families who wanted to stay in Beijing for a few days before leaving.
Professor Ding saw that they were talking excitedly and quietly walked away.
Zhong Yuxiu saw it, but did not chase after them. How could her classmates miss her so much during her absence? Their eyes were clear and honest, and one could tell from their eyes that they really were thinking about her, and there was no fakery.
Even though there are people with bad tempers and character problems, there is no shortage of people with good character and integrity. You can try to get along with these people. If you get along well with them, they will become your future connections.
They forgot about time while talking like this. It was not until the bell rang and Zhong Yuxiu said goodbye that they returned to their seats to wait for the teacher to come.
"You're back." Professor Ding looked at her and smiled. "You're very popular in the class."
"I didn't feel it before." Zhong Yuxiu chuckled. She really didn't feel anything. They were just getting along normally. She didn't show up in class every day and spent very little time with her classmates. Who would have thought that everyone would be so enthusiastic about her.
Professor Ding smiled and shook his head. "You see it from time to time, so you naturally ignore it. Do you feel it now?"
"Yeah." She pursed her lips and smiled slightly, "They don't hate me."
They didn't dislike her, they didn't reject her; they admired her, perhaps because they admired her for what she did. But that didn't stop them from harboring any ill will towards her, and instead harboring good intentions. It wasn't the kind of wooing based on relative interests, but pure kindness.
Professor Ding didn't know what to say. He was a lazy person, but he still shouldered all the responsibilities he should. He gave people the impression that he was not sociable and didn't want to socialize.
"You should make more friends."
"Yes." She would try to interact with people of good character.
Professor Ding nodded and said, "Go find Principal Guo. He doesn't even know you're here yet."
"Okay, I'll go over now, you're busy."
After saying goodbye to Professor Ding, I went to Principal Guo's office. The door of Principal Guo's office was open at this time, and only Principal Guo was inside. I walked to the side and knocked gently on the door.
"Principal Guo."
Principal Guo looked up, his smile and surprise overflowing from his face. "Comrade Zhong, you're finally here! I've been waiting for you for so many days! You haven't come to school since the holiday, so I'm going to come look for you."
"Are you waiting for me for something?"
"Yes." Principal Guo pulled out a piece of paper two palms wide from the drawer, walked out from his desk, and handed it to her. "Take a look."
Zhong Yuxiu took it and looked at it. "Letter of appointment?"
"Yes, you will be a professor at our school from now on. You can teach here. I'll have the administration arrange your classes, and starting next semester you won't be a teaching assistant anymore." Principal Guo beamed. "We have another capable professor at our school. Everyone is so happy! If we had more talented people like you, the senior professors would be even happier."
There are talented people to take over the burden, and old professors in poor health can retire early and enjoy their retirement.
"Thank you, President Guo, and thank you all professors for your recognition." He folded up the appointment letter.
Principal Guo said with a smile, "Your achievements are destined to make you extraordinary. The greater your ability, the greater your responsibility. I hope that our students will benefit from your guidance. Your knowledge is not only valued by me, but also by the higher-ups. Please teach them well."
They are all pillars of the country, and only after they graduate can they benefit more people.
"Principal Guo, you know, I'm very busy now; I may not have that much time to teach." If she had not studied medicine, she would have relatively more time.
"Don't worry. Just see how many classes you can take per week and I'll adjust it for you. I'll try to adjust it to a level that everyone can accept. What do you think?"
Finally, Principal Guo asked for her opinion, and Zhong Yuxiu had no choice but to nod. "That's fine. My schedule won't be so tight next semester. I can talk to the teacher and free up three periods. Is that feasible?"
"Sure, why not?!" Principal Guo was delighted. He had previously thought that two classes a week was the limit, and having one more class was a pleasant surprise. "If possible, would you like to attend two more classes?"
Zhong Yuxiu was helpless. Principal Guo's eyes were full of expectation. She couldn't say no. "I'll try my best."
"With your words, I asked someone to arrange five classes?"
When did she agree?
Zhong Yuxiu: “….”
"Don't worry, if you don't have time to attend class, I can cover for you myself; or you can ask another professor to cover for you."
The other person's words showed his consideration for her. Zhong Yuxiu nodded with difficulty and said, "Okay, five sessions is five, no more."
At worst, you can just squeeze a little more. Time is like water in a sponge. You can get it if you squeeze a little more.
"That's great." Principal Guo clapped his hands and smiled. After his joy faded, he put his hands behind his back and said flatteringly, "Comrade Zhong, do you think you'd like to teach a class next semester?"
