Chapter 350 Freedom to control spare time
The next day was a day for work and school. Liu Xinyu had classes in the morning and had to go to school. Naturally, she could not stay at home to accompany Chen Zhaodi and Liu Houxing, nor could she accompany the Fang family to continue looking at houses. She could only tell Fang Ming and Fang Jing a few words.
Let them wait patiently at home.
Of course, it would be best to take advantage of her lack of time to discuss and come up with a result as soon as possible, wait for her to come back after class, and continue to show them the house.
Naturally, the Liu Jing siblings could not delay Liu Xinyu's normal work, and kept urging her to go to work quickly, so Liu Xinyu rode her bicycle and went to school with Liu Xinjian.
Liu Xinyu only has one or two classes in the morning today, which is the history of British literature for her junior year in the English Department.
After entering school, Liu Xinyu and Liu Xinjian parted ways.
Liu Xinjian went straight to the teaching building where the Computer Department held classes, while Liu Xinyu went straight to the English Department office building.
The siblings set off quite early and arrived at school only around 7:30.
Liu Xinyu parked her bicycle and walked calmly upstairs to the office.
The office door was open, but there was no one there. I looked at the other teachers' desks and saw that only Teacher Fang's desk was missing a teacup. It could be seen that Teacher Fang was already here and should go to the water room to wash the teacups.
Liu Xinyu put down her backpack, picked up the rag and teacup and was about to go to the water room. Teacher Fang came in from the outside with the teacup and rag. When she saw Liu Xinyu, she said: "Teacher Liu, the department director is looking for you and asks you to go to the director's office quickly."
Liu Xinyu had no choice but to put down the rag and tea cup in her hands, and looked at her watch. There were still nearly twenty minutes before class. The teacher thanked her and walked to the department head's office.
"Here, come in quickly. I have something to tell you." The director must have been waiting for her. Before Liu Xinyu knocked on the door, he greeted Liu Xinyu.
The director knew that Liu Xinyu had classes in the first and second classes, so he did not go around in circles with her and asked straight to the point: "I heard that you have your own house outside the school?"
Liu Xinyu frowned slightly and had a bad feeling in her heart.
It was impossible for the director to make mistakes. Liu Xinyu guessed in her heart that someone felt that since she had a house outside the school, she should not be allocated a house in the school.
Sure enough, after Liu Xinyu nodded to confirm, the director looked at Liu Xinyu with an embarrassed look and said: "The school's housing is relatively tight now. Do you think you can give up the apartment in Apartment No. 1 to other teachers who need it more? Of course, the school will use it in single dormitories.
We will allocate a new room to you over there so that you can have a rest at noon."
Liu Xinyu glanced at the director silently. She was very sure that the director did not agree with this approach, but this should be a task set by the school. Even if he wanted to fight for her, he would be powerless.
Then why embarrass the director?
Liu Xinyu pondered for a moment, and when she looked up at the director, she still had a faint smile on her face: "I can understand the school's difficulties. Since it takes away my right to live in the school apartment, can the director help the school?
It is necessary to provide convenience and allow teachers like me who have a room outside the school but cannot be allocated a room in the school to not come to the school to attend classes except during normal classes. Of course, this cannot affect the quality of the class."
Since the school wants to take back the housing, it must give itself some compensation. The compensation Liu Xinyu wants is not a single dormitory, but the freedom to spend her free time after class.
The director looked at Liu Xinyu in surprise. He really didn't expect Liu Xinyu to propose such a transaction condition.
The school does not require senior teachers to work in class, because senior teachers are more self-conscious. Even if the school does not require them, senior teachers will almost devote themselves to the school.
Liu Xinyu didn't want to work as required, and the director knew that all along.
In addition to being a teacher at Beijing University, Liu Xinyu is now also a well-known fashion designer in Beijing. She is also a translation talent that various translation agencies, publishing houses, and even various units and departments compete to hire for their foreign affairs activities.
What makes the director very gratified is that although Liu Xinyu's extracurricular activities are extremely rich, they have never affected her teaching work. Her teaching quality is second to none in the school.
As long as it was her class, the classroom would be packed with people. Not only students from Peking University were attending the class, but there were also many students from other schools who came all the way to attend classes, and there were even teachers from other schools.
Although she knew that her request had embarrassed the director, Liu Xinyu did not intend to give in.
The one-bedroom apartment in Apartment No. 1 is small, and there is even a top-notch person living downstairs, but it is still quite good for a lunch break. The most important thing is that when this apartment was originally assigned to her, it was very special.
It means that she is a special talent in the school, otherwise she would not be able to get such a house based on her qualifications.
Is it possible that just half a year has passed and she is no longer a special talent?
If the school cannot give her a satisfactory answer, it will definitely not be allowed to move, otherwise some people will probably take advantage of her even more in the future.
Although Liu Xinyu could make herself live more freely even if she lost her job at Beijing University, she couldn't just let someone do whatever they wanted.
"Director, it's getting late. I'll go to class first. By the way, my grandparents rarely come to the capital. I have to accompany them around, so after class, I have to ask for leave and ask the director for approval." Liu Xinyu looked at it.
She glanced at the clock on the wall. It was only a few minutes until class time. Even running from the office building to the teaching building would take three to five minutes. She couldn't delay it any longer. She didn't want to be late, so she hurriedly dropped a few words.
Wait for the director's answer and turn around and leave the director's office.
Seeing Liu Xinyu hurried away, the director shook his head helplessly.
He was opposed to the decision to take back Liu Xinyu's apartment No. 1, but he couldn't resist it after more than a month.
Since Liu Xinyu made her request, he just had to fight for her.
Some leaders of the school are obviously acting for personal benefit, but they still act sanctimoniously. Can't they see that more and more teachers have objections to him?
Alas, it's better to stay out of other people's affairs and just watch quietly.
The director sat in the office to calm himself down. He picked up the phone and made several calls. His face was good and bad. After making the last call, there was a faint smile on his face. He breathed a long sigh of relief and picked up the tea cup.
After taking two sips of tea, he murmured: "Girl, as you wish, I hope you won't disappoint me!"
When Liu Xinyu returned to the office after class, Teacher Fang and Teacher Lin were not there. They had three or four classes. Only Teacher Jiang Cheng, like Liu Xinyu, returned to the office after one or two classes.
This semester, Jiang Cheng was taught basic English by first-year students from two departments. The basic skills of the students were uneven. After a month, he was quite annoyed. He made a suggestion to the department, hoping that these students could be graded according to their grades.
The class was designed to facilitate teaching, but it was not adopted.
After the second class, Jiang Cheng seemed to be on a battlefield, his face turned a little blue.
