Do All Prominent Gurus Act Like This?

Mao Cang turned and saw Ding Junhui walking towards them. Ding Junhui and he were in the same batch, and they were both competing for the position of Deputy Professor this year.

“This is within the Physics Department, Teacher Ding. It has nothing to do with the Maths Department,” Mao Cang said to Ding Junhui and then looked at Wen Shan impatiently as if to say, ‘what are you waiting for? Go get ready for the cla.s.s now.’Read more chapter on vi pnovel.com

Wen Shan stomped the floor unhappily and left.

“Become the Head of the Physics Department before you try to be a hero,” Mao Cang called out mockingly before leaving too.

Wen Shan called Professor Zhou on her way to the cla.s.s.

“He wanted me to write his name in the attendance record for the cla.s.ses I teach! I refuse to do that, Professor,” said Wen Shan angrily.

“I know this is outrageous, but we won’t get the chance to get rid of that old man if you don’t do as he says. You’ll be the one who suffers eventually,” said Wen Shan’s professor on the other end of the line.

“But…”

“I promise to explain this to the former head of department after we get rid of him, little monkey, then you can get your attendance back.”

“Really?” Wen Shan asked doubtfully.

Wen Shan was worried when the professor did not answer her. Why did she feel like the professor was lying to her?

Attendance was important for the lecturers, especially for teaching a.s.sistants like her who planned to become a lecturer eventually. Teaching a.s.sistants like her normally relied on professors who were willing to let them record themselves on the attendance record, because otherwise it might take ages before they finally teach enough cla.s.ses to become lecturers.

Unfortunately, there were also evil professors who made teaching a.s.sistants teach their cla.s.ses without letting them put their names on the attendance record. For example, Professor Yin. It would take years before one could be promoted to a lecturer if he or she was a.s.signed to a professor like him.

So while Wen Shan chose to let it go when the professor took credit for the dissertation she wrote, she would not tolerate it if he made her teach his cla.s.ses without giving her any credit.

Feeling that even Professor Zhou wasn’t sure if he would be able to get rid of Professor Yin, Wen Shan walked to the cla.s.sroom gloomily.

Meanwhile, Nalan Chunbo happened to be at the secretary’s office in the university.

The secretary made someone serve Nalan Chunbo tea. Although it was not completely official, it was a fact that Nalan Chunbo would be joining them.

“What do you mean by instant cla.s.s attendance record?” The secretary sat down in front of Nalan Chunbo and asked curiously.

“It happens not just in our county. In many countries, the professors make their a.s.sistants teach, and then make them put down the professors’ name in the attendance record and that is unfair to the teaching a.s.sistants,” Nalan Chunbo explained.

“That is a major issue indeed. Though instant cla.s.s attendance records might not be the easiest way to solve this. Students are likely to be the ones who take the attendance of the teaching personnel, and it would be the same issue all over again if the professor pressures them.”

“That’s why reward and punishment in a system is pivotal to every organisation. The policies have to be clear and unambiguous. I suppose that if the university could come up with the policy, it shouldn’t be difficult,” said Nalan Chunbo while holding his mug.

“I think I understand your point. I will get someone to handle this, and then…” The secretary trailed off when Nalan Chunbo leaned back in his chair and stared at her intensely.

“Why don’t we start today,” said Nalan Chunbo suddenly, rendering the secretary speechless.

‘Do all prominent gurus act like this?’

“We will notify everyone. Since I will be serving as the Dean of the Physics Department, let’s lead by example and start it off with our own department,” said Nalan Chunbo with his face so serious that no one would doubt that he was doing it for the sake of the university.
