The teachers in the teacher's office didn't look very happy when they saw Zhou Rong coming back from the principal's office. This made the teachers who guessed it was good news a little surprised and confused.
"Teacher Zhou, what's wrong with you?
Why did you suddenly look a little absent-minded when you went to the principal's office?" A teacher who thought he had a good relationship with Zhou Rong suddenly asked with a smile.
"Haha, I was just thinking about another thing! I was a little lost in thought for a while!"
"Oh? Then the principal called you over, is there any good news?" The teacher tried to find out something.
"Not really, just some normal words of encouragement!
Maybe it’s because I’m new here!” Zhou Rongying responded.
Regarding Zhou Rong's answer, the teachers present all showed playful expressions. The most popular topic in Jiangliao University recently is the selection of associate professor titles.
The teachers who were eyeing the title of associate professor this time tried their best to compete for it.
What they didn't expect was that Zhou Rong, an inconspicuous new teacher, suddenly got into a relationship with the president of Jiangliao University. Plus, there was Professor Wang behind him, so there was no way to prevent them from getting in touch.
.
Zhou Rong knew exactly what the substitute teachers around her were thinking, and now she really didn't care.
What Zhou Rong is most concerned about now is that her younger brother Zhou Bingkun is now powerful enough to influence her career, which surprises Zhou Rong.
In Zhou Rong's impression, her younger brother Zhou Bingkun was always a child who didn't grow up and had no interest in studying. He was at the bottom of the class in every exam.
In this way, his younger brother Zhou Bingkun completed the junior high school course with difficulty. On the eve of the family separation in 1969, he and his eldest brother Zhou Bingyi gave the collected books to his younger brother Zhou Bingkun for safekeeping. They never thought that Zhou Bingkun would actually read these books.
As for the first college entrance examination, Zhou Bingkun was admitted to Northeast Normal University, but Zhou Rong didn't think it was that great.
Just thinking that Zhou Bingkun was lucky enough to meet the first college entrance examination does not mean how talented Zhou Bingkun is.
Consistent thoughts and opinions are difficult to change by others, especially for a conceited person like Zhou Rong. It is even harder for her to change her own views on her younger brother Zhou Bingkun.
In Zhou Rong's heart, the most ideal living situation for her younger brother Zhou Bingkun is to be a peaceful citizen.
Walking around her parents, wife and children every day, if she encounters any difficulties, then she and her eldest brother Zhou Bingyi can suddenly appear like "saviors", and then she and Zhou Bingyi can easily solve the difficulties Zhou Bingkun encounters.
What Zhou Rong wants to see most is that her younger brother Zhou Bingkun looks at her with envy, jealousy, and even a little inferiority complex.
But the reality was cruel. His younger brother Zhou Bingkun suddenly took his fate into his own hands. Zhou Rong could feel that the look in Zhou Bingkun's eyes towards her contained a feeling of pity.
This pity look made the proud Zhou Rong feel a deep sting in her heart, which she couldn't accept.
Therefore, Zhou Rong always targets her younger brother Zhou Bingkun. Even though she knows that Zhou Bingkun cannot "plagiarize", she still wants to question it just to cause trouble for her younger brother Zhou Bingkun.
As for later she and Feng Huacheng wanted to send Feng Yue back to Jichun, Jiangliao, it was also because she believed that Zhou Bingkun had an obligation to help her solve the problem. Feng Yue's existence affected her and Feng Huacheng's quality of life.
After the initial freshness, as soon as Zhou Rong saw her daughter Feng Yue, she felt reminded again that she was no longer free, which made the chic Zhou Rong very painful.
What Zhou Rong didn't expect was that her younger brother Zhou Bingkun would reject her request so shamelessly.
...
The selection for the associate professor title at Jiangliao University was aroused, and the results were finally announced on the third day after Zhou Rong was called to talk by the principal.
Every teacher who saw the results announced was either unwilling or resentful. Although their performances were different, they were all very disappointed in the result.
"Teacher Zhou, I didn't expect you to hide it so deeply!
No, I should call you Professor Zhou from now on!"
"Haha, Professor Zhou, you are going to treat me with blood today!"
"Of course, I'll invite you today! You can choose the location as you like!" Seeing that she became an associate professor, Zhou Rong was also very happy and said boldly.
"Well...since Professor Zhou is so generous, let's just go to Jishantang, the best hotel in Jichun!"
"Teacher Su's suggestion is great! Recently I heard that our new campus of Jiangliao University has just opened a branch of Jishantang. Let's just go and try it!"
"Jishantang also has a branch in our new campus of Jiangliao University?" Zhou Rong showed a surprised expression.
"Haha, Professor Zhou doesn't know this!
The boss of the construction company that helped us build the new campus of Jiangliao University is the same person as the big boss of Jishantang, so of course he will open a branch of Jishantang Jiangliao University!"
Zhou Rong was surprised, but she didn't show it on her face again. Instead, she accompanied her colleagues and had a hearty meal at Jishantang Jiangliao University Branch.
Seeing her well-fed colleagues, Zhou Rong felt very proud, and then went to the cashier to prepare the check.
Sun Qianchao, who is in charge of branch affairs, came to the Jishantang Jiangliao University branch today for an inspection. Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure at the cashier.
Sun Qianchao showed an expression of disbelief, then stepped forward uncertainly and asked, "Zhou Rong? Is it really you?"
"Catch up? Why are you here?" Zhou Rong showed a surprised expression and looked at Sun Catch up in front of her.
"Haha, I am now in charge of the Jishantang branch.
I came here specifically to inspect the new store today!" Sun Ganchao explained with a smile.
"Oh, I see!"
"What about you, Zhou Rong? Are you here for dinner today?"
"Yes! I had a dinner with some colleagues!"
"Zhou Rong, why didn't you tell me earlier?
I can arrange for the head chef of Jishantang to cook for you personally!
Look at what happened!" Sun Qianchao complained with a smile, and then gave instructions to the cashier on the side.
"Xiao Cui, this is our boss's sister. From now on, she will be free of charge when she comes to Jishan Hall to eat!"
"Yes, Mr. Sun!"
"Ah? How can this be possible? You must pay for the meal!"
"Zhou Rong, if you really paid the money! If Bingkun knew about it, why wouldn't he scold me like a dog?"
"Then...thanks for catching up with you! We'll leave first!"
Zhou Rong's colleagues heard clearly the conversation between Zhou Rong and Sun Qianchao, and they were all shocked by Zhou Rong's profound background.
Only then did they realize that they failed this time because they did not have a rich brother like Zhou Bingkun.
Feeling the looks in her colleagues' eyes, Zhou Rong was not happy, but rather a little uncomfortable, because she suddenly felt like she was living in the shadow of her younger brother Zhou Bingkun, which was really unbearable for Zhou Rong, who had always been conceited.
