Chapter 242 - 242 Professor Vincent, You Be The Judge!
242 Professor Vincent, You Be The Judge!
“You only know how to feel sorry for Luo Feng, but you don’t know how to feel sorry for me.” Ai Zhaojiang was unhappy. “I prepared a lot of your favorite dishes for the New Year. They’re all frozen in the fridge.”
Ai Tingya’s body stiffened, and her heart was filled with guilt. She lowered her head and said nothing.
Initially, he hoped that Ai Tingya’s heart would ache for him, her grandfather. However, Ai Zhaojiang’s heart softened when he saw Ai Tingya lowering her head in silence.
“Alright, alright… I promise you, okay?” Ai Zhaojiang said helplessly.
“Really?” Ai Tingya smiled through her tears and held Ai Zhaojiang’s arm as they walked upstairs.
When the grandfather and grandson walked to the door of the office, Luo Feng and Dean Qi were still in a deadlock.
Dean Qi was determined not to sign it. Even if Luo Feng made a hole here, he would definitely not take a step back! Luo Feng stood there and did not speak. He stared straight at Dean Qi, waiting for him to relent.
Knock, knock-
Someone knocked on the door.
“Is Old Qi here?” Ai Zhaojiang pushed the door open and entered.
“Professor Ai?” President Qi stood up in surprise. “Why are you here?”
Ai Zhaojiang was indeed someone who had worked hard in school his entire life. Dean Qi looked very familiar with him and even respected him a little. Seeing Ai Zhaojiang arrive, Dean Qi immediately went forward to welcome her in.
As soon as Ai Zhaojiang entered, he first looked at Luo Feng with mixed feelings, or rather, glared at him before he could exchange pleasantries. He seemed to be enduring humiliation, so he was blaming Luo Feng, and even wanting to hit him.
Dean Qi said, “Luo Feng, I have something on now. You can go back first.”
“No, no, no.” Ai Zhaojiang stopped him. “I’m here for this kid.”
“Huh?” President Qi looked at the two of them in surprise, not quite understanding their relationship.
“Didn’t this kid want to apply for an exemption?” Ai Zhaojiang gritted his teeth. “That’s why I came to take a look.”
Even though Dean Qi did not understand the relationship between the two of them, he knew that Ai Zhaojiang was here to lobby. He could not help but glance at Luo Feng, thinking that not only was this kid talented, but he also had some connections. He even called out to Ai Zhaojiang.
Who had Ai Zhaojiang ever given face to in school in the past? When he got serious, he would scold the Deans of the Faculties like him. Even the Dean of the school would be taught a lesson. He actually came to intercede for Luo Feng?
“Professor Ai, what’s your relationship with this student to make you come personally?” President Qi asked curiously.
“… Not much relation…” Ai Zhaojiang said unwillingly. “Just tell me if you can agree to this kid on my account.”
He was actually quite aggrieved. What could it have to do with Luo Feng? He could not say that this person was his grandson-in-law! Even though the two of them were already engaged, Ai Zhaojiang was still stubborn and unwilling to admit it verbally.
Who asked his little darling to be so obsessed with Luo Feng?
President Qi smiled and said, “Since you’ve already appeared, what else can I say?”
Ai Zhaojiang smiled and glanced at Luo Feng proudly. Didn’t it still require me to come personally?
“Definitely not!” President Qi said firmly.
“Huh?” Ai Zhaojiang’s smile froze on her face. “What did you say?”
“I said no!” Dean Qi said, “Professor Ai, we’ve known each other for many years. Don’t make things difficult for me… Moreover, Luo Feng is a student of our Finance Faculty. If there’s a problem with his studies or something happens to him outside the school, can you take responsibility?”
“… I can!”
No matter how much he did not want to admit it, Luo Feng was still his grandson-in-law. Ai Zhaojiang could be considered half his grandfather.
“What can you do? Are you a professor in the Finance Department?” President Qi straightened his neck.
“I… I’m not from the Finance Department… Can’t I be responsible for my own grandson-in-law?” Ai Zhaojiang roared.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ai Zhaojiang regretted it so much that he wished he could slap himself twice. Why was his mouth so loose?! Could he not be so loose?! He hated and regretted it. Not only was he here to do Luo Feng a favor, but he also had to admit this relationship that he did not want to admit.
“What did you say…” President Qi looked at Luo Feng in a daze and then at Ai Zhaojiang. Then, he realized that Ai Tingya was hiding at the door and peeping.
He finally understood. No wonder Ai Zhaojiang had personally come to intercede. So there was such a relationship!
“All the more reason I can’t allow it to happen.” President Qi was stubborn.
If it were anyone else, he would have to give Ai Zhaojiang some face. However, not Luo Feng!
He pulled Ai Zhaojiang to the side and whispered, “Professor Ai, don’t cause trouble for me! Let me tell you, this Luo Feng is the treasure of many first-year professors. They all say that he will definitely have great achievements in the future! If I let him go after you caused trouble at my place today. Tomorrow, the Finance Faculty professors will form a team to cause trouble at my place.”
Dean Qi analyzed Ai Zhaojiang seriously, hoping that he would understand his difficulties.
“Is this kid really so talented?” Ai Zhaojiang didn’t expect this to be the reason why Dean Qi didn’t agree.
“Why would I lie to you!” President Qi patted Ai Zhaojiang’s shoulder. “I say, your taste… Your granddaughter has good taste!”
Ai Zhaojiang had mixed feelings. He tried his best to distance himself from Luo Feng. When he heard the Dean of the Faculty praise Luo Feng, he actually felt a strange pride… He would not admit it, he didn’t want to admit it…
On the other side, Luo Feng heard their whispers clearly.
His physical fitness had been strengthened, and his hearing was much better than ordinary people. He could clearly hear the reason why President Qi did not let him go. It was actually because he was too outstanding! Could this be considered an obstacle on the way?
Was it wrong to be too outstanding?
Even Ai Zhaojiang’s face was useless!
“Yo! Why is it so lively? What are you doing?”
Another familiar voice sounded outside the open office door.
The three of them looked up and saw Professor Vincent striding in with his hands behind his back. He was originally here to talk to the Principal of the Mathematics Faculty about something. He happened to hear that Dean Qi’s place was very lively and could not help but walk over to take a look.
He did not expect to see Luo Feng, who looked like he was being punished, at a glance. He had to join in the fun.
“Professor Vincent?” Dean Qi stood up straight. “Why are you here too?”
His office was quite lively today.
The person who came was a big shot in the Mathematics Department. For the first time, he came to the Finance Faculty to teach. Finance could be considered a digital game to a certain extent after all. Dean Qi was also quite polite to Professor Vincent.
Professor Vincent nodded and walked straight to Luo Feng. “What are you doing here?”
“You know Luo Feng too?” Dean Qi was speechless. Why did Luo Feng know so many people? Is it because he was Professor Ai’s grandson-in-law?
“I was his advanced mathematics teacher last semester,” Professor Vincent said.
“Yes, yes, yes!” President Qi slapped his forehead and remembered this matter.
He had only taught him for a semester so he couldn’t be here to intercede for him, right? Dean Qi finally found someone from the same camp and pulled Professor Vincent against Luo Feng.
