Chapter 213: New Teacher
"Teacher Han, it's like this." The assistant to the dean blocked Han Zihe at the door of her office early in the morning and explained the situation: "Our school has hired a new teaching assistant, whose surname is Xing and whose name is Xing Ying.
A twenty-six-year-old PhD candidate, oh, he’s a male.”
"Then what?" Han Zihe held the textbook and waited patiently for his next words.
By the way, an assistant to the dean would not come over to chat with her for no reason, and "meaningless words" would never happen between them.
So... Han Zihe glanced at his spacious office out of the corner of his eye and thought to himself: You wouldn't look at it like this, would you?
"It's like this. The free offices in our office building are undergoing maintenance, so when he comes in, there are almost no other offices available for him. That means you still have a place here, so..."
"No problem, my office here is originally a two-person office. There is no reason for me to have it all to myself! He can move in at any time." Regarding this matter, Han Zihe hardly needed to hesitate and agreed immediately.
.
This matter of a new teacher moving into the office is basically the school's arrangement. The reason why I told her in a questioning tone was just to be polite. If she really thought that they were asking her if she agreed, she would be too ignorant.
.
not to mention……
Han Zihe's gaze inadvertently swept past the door of Li Kun's office not far away, and he pursed his lips gently.
"Teacher Han has always been reasonable, and I'm here to say thank you to the new teacher." The assistant always speaks so pleasantly. No wonder he is very comfortable in all the colleges of D University, and none of the senior leaders of D University hate him.
"You're welcome. These are the school's public resources. Sharing them with those who have the right to share them is a matter of course. It's not worthy of thanks... What's more, it's always lively when there are more people." Han Zihe smiled.
said softly.
She thought that the reason why the assistant to the dean came to speak so seriously must be because the teacher who was about to move in was male.
Generally speaking, in this kind of double-room office, the allocation of personnel is basically based on the principle of "same-sex" allocation. Either male teachers work with male teachers, or female teachers work with female teachers.
Getting along together. Folk proverbs like "men and women work together so they won't get tired" are not suitable for the current situation.
"The school plans to replace all the eyebrow offices with glass doors. This will provide better lighting. Well, it will be replaced soon. Please bear with me, Teacher Han." The assistant said a special word to Han Zihe before leaving.
Regarding this, Han Zihe said it was fine - after all, she didn't want to let their family's big jealous jar ferment because of this incident.
After the assistant left, Han Zihe looked at the time and saw that there was still an hour before her class. He planned to change his original plan to go to the library and use his free time to free up the "influence" area that should belong to the new teacher.
So as not to have nowhere to stay when the new teacher comes tomorrow.
The door was open and she was busy cleaning up. After a while, several teachers from the offices on both sides gathered together and walked in.
"Teacher Han, I heard that you are recruiting a new person here?" With such a sassy personality, he did not hesitate, went straight to the topic, and asked straightforwardly.
Hearing the sound, Han Zihe asked them to sit down and said with a smile, "Yes, that's what the assistant was talking about when he came over just now."
"Do you know the situation of the new teacher?" The speaker was a young teacher who was also seconded from another school. She looked at everyone with a smile and said, "I just happened to go to the dean to submit information.
, I just happened to see the new teacher!"
"Eh? Then tell me, how are the new teachers like?" Although these teachers go out, each one has a high-minded and cold attitude, but when everyone gets together, there are all kinds of things in private.
They have all kinds of personalities, they love to talk, laugh, play, gossip, and spread rumors. Therefore, when someone heard that a colleague knew something about the situation, they couldn't help but curiously urged him.
"That teacher is a Ph.D. student who studied abroad and came back for exchange. Before going abroad, he signed an agreement with the Ministry of Education, saying that as soon as he graduated, he would work as a lecturer in a first-class college according to the assignment of the Ministry of Education, and he would be a lecturer for one year.
After the year, he will directly go to one of the top ten universities abroad for further study. When he comes back from further studies, he will be directly promoted to 'associate professor'!"
"Good boy! How old is he? He's not yet thirty! Associate professors who are less than thirty are so rare!" After hearing this, a teacher felt sour in his heart, and what he said was as if he was jealous, "That's not true.
It’s so smooth!”
The seconded teacher who just spoke continued: "That's not all. I heard that as long as he has excellent teaching evaluation for five consecutive years and meets the number of articles published in journals, the school will directly promote him to professor.
, if he has his own subject at that time, he can also bring graduate students, remember, he is a doctoral student!"
"What does he teach? Liberal arts and sciences? Isn't it a pity that the Ministry of Education can offer such good conditions and not enter the graduate school to take the postdoctoral examination?"
"He seems to teach information technology, but I don't know the details."
There were a dozen or so teachers talking to each other in a lively manner, but Han Zihe, the owner of the office, was a quiet wallflower and rarely took the initiative to interrupt.
At the end of the day, these teachers finally unified their opinions and expressed their strong envy, jealousy, and hatred towards the new teacher's foreseeable and smooth career path.
Everyone was chatting lively, and the atmosphere was very exciting for a while. Even the one or two people who were a little bit grudged against the new teacher were full of joy now.
Speaking of excitement, the seconded teacher from before said: "Originally, this new male teacher should have entered Professor Li's office. He also had a double office. Since he came, he has been alone.
Used... Besides, he is also a man, so it is normal for us to work together."
At this point, she looked at Han Zihe with some sympathy: "I wonder if you have offended Professor Li. As soon as he heard what the assistant dean meant, he quickly shied away and pushed the person to you."
"Ah? Why?" The little teacher sitting next to the seconded teacher asked quickly.
The seconded teacher waved her hand and said that she didn't understand either: "Professor Li only said that he was working on a project recently and it is confidential. It is not easy to accept colleagues in the same room for the time being."
"Hehe, it's up to him, who knows whether it's true or not!" Someone spoke quickly, and as soon as he finished speaking, the teacher he was friends with covered his mouth.
Seeing the sympathetic eyes of everyone in the room looking at her, Han Zihe just wanted to quietly raise his middle finger and say "hoho".
Chapter 214: Visit
The new teacher arrived. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with his working environment. He also expressed his great gratitude to Han Zihe for making the office environment comfortable.
However, Han Zihe was shocked when the other party reported on the first day.
Mainly... the image of this new teacher was a bit beyond her expectations.
Twenty-six-year-old PhD student + information technology talent + male studying abroad ← These concepts make Han Zihe have an unequal sign.
And the other side of the inequality sign is connected to a cute boy who is full of energy and childlike!
That's right. The new teacher is very...cute.
She has round eyes, an apple face, and her dimples appear when she smiles. Her fat skin points to her eyes, and her voice is very sweet when she speaks.
Seeing how Xing Ying, the new teacher who had only been working for two days, was thriving in the office area in the blink of an eye, with almost no teacher not showing kindness to him, Han Zihe felt that this person seemed to be something special.
After observing carefully for a few days, Han Zihe felt that she seemed to smell the same kind of scent.
This Xing Ying, with the mysterious affinity he showed, was like a tool specially built for him. It was put in and taken away all in his mind, and it was his most convenient tool.
"There is no special smell like an enemy!" Han Zihe was sitting at home supervising the work while thinking about his new colleague Xing Ying, and said to himself, "Hey, it would be great if Chu Zheng was here right now!"
Thinking of Chu Zheng, Han Zihe angrily threw his cell phone on the mattress a few times: "This guy went crazy as soon as he was let out! He didn't even have any news! If you're afraid of calling and revealing your location, send
You can always send a text message!"
"Ding dong!"
Han Zihe was complaining when her cell phone, which she was swinging around on the bed, suddenly trembled and a text message message was sent out.
"Hey, let's talk about Cao Cao. Cao Cao. That's it!" Opening the text message, Han Zihe felt refreshed when he saw that the contact person said "husband", "There is quite a tacit understanding... Bah!"
The good mood did not last long. Han Zihe's face suddenly darkened when he saw the concise words "Everything goes well, take care of yourself" in the text message.
This guy who doesn’t know how to be charming!
Han Zihe was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He wanted to delete the text message directly, but he was a little reluctant to leave it. But if he didn't delete it and left it there, Han Zihe would always find it.
Once, every time I read it, I drew a set of animations in my mind of "throwing that guy Chu Zheng out—bringing him back—throwing him out again—bringing him back again."
She was sulking here, unaware that Chu Zheng, thousands of miles away, was shivering for a minute because of her detailed imagination.
"Sneeze! Eh? Did you catch a cold?" Chu Zheng, who was rubbing his nose, drank two large glasses of hot water before feeling warmer. He looked at his phone and smiled silly, "It'll be fine in a few days.
Go home and reunite with your wife!"
…
Regardless of whether Xing Ying was simply a teacher or had some other identity, Han Zihe was very careful to maintain her vigilance. She didn't show anything on the face, but secretly observing without trace was inevitable.
Although he has not yet determined whether he is an enemy or a friend, a simple colleague, or an unrelated passerby, Han Zihe has no idea of probing further.
First, Han Zihe finally listened to Chu Zheng’s earnest instructions before leaving;
Secondly, Han Zihe has a clear understanding of her current identity. Her mission in this life is to live her life well, live happily, cherish and manage Chu Zheng's family.
Therefore, she was unwilling to get involved in something unless absolutely necessary.
Of course, if someone approached her blindly, don't blame her for not being polite and slapping those people away.
Therefore, in the two weeks since the new teacher settled in the office, Han Zihe and he have maintained a friendly, polite and distant distance, maintaining a distance that makes each other comfortable and safe, and living in harmony.
And this situation lasted until the last class of the following week.
That afternoon's class was canceled because two-thirds of the members of the minor class were busy, and Han Zihe was left to sit in the office on duty.
At that time, there was only Han Zihe in the office. Although Xing Ying, who was in the same office, had no classes, she had to receive teaching training from new teachers and had been attending classes in the auditorium opposite since noon.
Just when Han Zihe was typing a few more words while he was free, there was a knock on the newly replaced glass door of the office.
Looking up, standing outside the door was a bright-faced, slightly androgynous girl. The girl was wearing an improved riding outfit and looked dashing and energetic.
"Who are you looking for?" Han Zihe stood up and opened the door, asking the girl who kept looking into the office.
"Hello, my name is Jian Song. I am... Xing Ying's girlfriend." The girl who calls herself Jian Song looks a bit boyish, but she is quite polite.
"Girlfriend?" Han Zihe heard the voice and the corners of his mouth trembled.
