Fu Mingxue went to see Director Zheng.
"Director Zheng, is something the matter?"
Director Zheng immediately stood up when he saw Fu Mingxue arrive.
"Fu Mingxue, here’s the situation. The research institute wants you to come by tonight. Do you have time?"
Fu Mingxue: ...?
’Isn’t teaching classes at the university all day enough? Now they want me at the research institute at night, too.’
"Is it something important? What time should I go? I have something to do before seven."
Hearing this, Director Zheng quickly replied, "A little later is fine. It seems there’s some data that isn’t quite right, and they’d like you to take a look."
When Fu Mingxue heard it was a problem with data, she knew she had to go.
"Alright, I’ll head out after seven."
This left her with some buffer time.
’Dinner is at five-thirty, and it’s not like I’ll be eating for over two hours.’
"If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going. I have to get to class soon."
"Thank you for your hard work!" Director Zheng said, and he meant it sincerely.
After all, he felt quite bad about scheduling so many classes for her; his conscience was pricked.
When Fu Mingxue went to class today, the students were much more enthusiastic than they had been the day before.
After all, most people naturally admire the strong.
When someone reaches a level so far beyond their own, all that’s left in their hearts is admiration and respect.
Someone even handed Fu Mingxue some watermelon frost after class.
"Teacher Fu, take this. It’s good for your throat!"
Fu Mingxue looked at the young woman who had handed her the watermelon frost.
She recognized her; the student had excellent grades.
She was also quite shy.
’I really didn’t expect her to give me something like this.’
Seeing the expectant look in the student’s eyes, she swallowed the refusal that was on the tip of her tongue.
She reached out and took it, but only picked out a single lozenge. "Thank you, Student Song. I actually forgot to bring any today, but one is plenty."
