If Will Be the Dean of the School of Physics

Mao Cang’s face brightened a little, his smile sly. “Junior, it’s just a job. We can call ourselves a lecturer or an educator to make it sound nicer, but to put it plainly, it is just an occupation. I heard that you haven’t gone through your Ph.D. viva, right? Although Professor Zhou is your supervisor, Professor Yin is one of your viva panels, isn’t he?”

Wen Shan sucked in a breath and pretended to be caught by surprise. “Yes, I think so, then—”

Mao Cang patted her shoulder again. “Junior, I believe in you, you can do it. There will be a performance evaluation for the top ten professors mid-November. It is very important to Professor Yin, so do it well.”

Wen Shan watched Mao Cang leave the office and glanced at the folder in her hand before going out. Instantly, she called Xiao Yaojing and told her about it.

“Professors nowadays.” Xiao Yaojing clicked her tongue and sighed.

“Not all of them are like that, my lecturers are very nice. I can only say that there are always these sc.u.mbags that ruin the honorable t.i.tle of ‘professor’. In recent years, the news about s.e.xual hara.s.sment in high schools is all because of these jerks,” Wen Shan exclaimed indignantly.

“So, Wonder Woman, your battle has begun,” Xiao Yaojing said with a giggle. “These kinds of sc.u.mbags are everywhere and in every industry. Don’t just think that the academic field is very clean either. Thanks to advanced technology and the cyber era, we can now expose as many of these sc.u.mbags as possible.”

Wen Shan snorted and went back to the staff quarters.

“You should be fortunate that Professor Yin is only malfeasant. He is a lot better than the one that was exposed.”

“You’re right,” Wen Shan said, looking up at the sky. “I told my brother that I wanted you to accompany me to shop for an electric bike, but he opposed my suggestion because the place might be crowded.”

“Don’t mention him in front of me, I’m so annoyed!” Xiao Yaojing growled furiously. “Those who hear it will know that I’m pregnant, but those who don’t know will suspect that I’m terminally ill and about to die.”

Wen Shan laughed loudly. She knew it would turn out like this, no woman could stand this kind of confinement.

“OMG, is it true? The faculty’s official website has announced that If will be the Dean of the School of Physics. What the heck? He should be appointed to our Mathematics faculty!”

“Hurry, the announcement was posted at the notice board, let’s go see!”

Wen Shan looked back at the people who ran past her, confused. She said goodbye to Xiao Yaojing and followed them.

Indeed, the announcement was posted on the notice board. They had posted it on the largest board because the small ones could not accommodate all of his contributions. There was still no photo, only his name, If, and the rest were his awards and achievements.

Holding the folder, Wen Shan scrutinized the achievements from the beginning to the end. Why did it feel like his achievements were similar to Nalan Chunbo’s?

But, when she thought it through, both of them were equally popular, so it was possible for them to get the same awards.

The main reason Wen Shan could distinguish the two was their age gap. If was a few years Nalan Chunbo’s senior, so he could not possibly be Nalan Chunbo.

What was she thinking anyway? Nalan Chunbo was hiding from her, so why would he come here?

“It really is him. Why did he go to the School of Physics though? Isn’t he a math expert?”

“Yes.”

“I heard that the School of Physics is focusing on developing applied mathematics in physics, I think that was why he was appointed there.”

“I wonder if he will give lectures despite being the dean. I would love to join his cla.s.s even if I have to skip my cla.s.s.”

“Why didn’t they put a photo up? There’s no photo on the official website either.”

Wen Shan’s ears p.r.i.c.ked when she heard the question. She was curious about it too.

“I heard that no one has seen his face before. He isn’t old either, is it because he is too ugly? Maybe that’s why?”
