I want to have a normal campus romance

"Brother, you are scaring other students by grinning like an idiot here."

"Eh?"

What, am I grinning now?

Thinking of this, I touched my face and looked around, but found that there was no one around. Then I looked at Liu Tongtong and saw her sticking out her tongue, then smilingly hugging Bai Yun who was standing next to me.

"Hehehe, I'm just kidding."

In this way, under Liu Tongtong's teasing, we chatted with each other all the way. I didn't wave goodbye to them until we reached the door of the teaching building. I hummed a little tune on the way back, and I felt more relaxed than ever.

Hehehe...I never thought that I, Lin Ran, would have such good luck one day.

Just when I was laughing foolishly, I suddenly felt my phone vibrate. I opened it and saw that it was a message from Liu Tongtong. There were only three simple words on it:

Is it professional? (>▽<)

When I saw the message she sent me, I just wanted to say... What is professionalism? This is professionalism!

After I replied to her a few words, I was about to put my phone back into my pocket when it vibrated again. I thought Liu Tongtong had sent me another message, but I found out it was not a message from WeChat, but from my email.

I thought it was just another spam ad and didn't want to pay any attention to it. But when I saw the little red dot in the upper right corner, I opened the mailbox because I have obsessive-compulsive disorder. I found out that it was not spam, but a recruitment email, and it was for recruiting tutors.

When I saw this email, I was stunned at first, but then I suddenly remembered that I worked as a tutor for college students for a long time when I was a freshman. However, due to policy reasons, some educational institutions went bankrupt, some closed down, some changed careers, and the entire industry was almost dead.

I ended up posting my information on the platform, and then I did something else. After so long, I almost forgot about it. I looked at the message and found that it said they were looking for a Chinese studies teacher. If I had time, I was expected to apply on the weekend.

Guoxue? What is this? Is it a code word for Chinese language or history?

I thought about it and decided to reply. After all, I am free on weekends, and being a teacher is much easier than working a part-time job. It is really a double blessing!

As I was thinking this, I happily returned to the dormitory. However, when I pushed open the door, I found that the atmosphere in the dormitory was a bit weird. Several people who did not have early classes and should have slept as usual, did not sleep at all.

When they saw me come in, they all looked at me with dark circles under their eyes. In addition, the curtains of the dormitory were not opened, and the room was pitch black. Several people looked like they were possessed by evil spirits, which scared me so much that I took two steps back.

"You...what's wrong with you?"

"Brothers, come on, kill this traitor Lin Ran!"

I just heard the fat man shouting, and then the three of them pounced on me like hunters seeing their prey.

"Wait...wait a minute! Let me explain!!!"

Chapter 17 Schrödinger's Door

Early the next morning, I sorted out the materials or handouts that might be needed. Although I didn't understand what the Chinese studies that student was talking about were, just in case, I stuffed all the related things into my bag, even the calligraphy I had written before.

The first class is generally for students to get to know each other, the teacher to get to know the students' level and foundation, and the students to get to know the teacher's teaching style. Basically, not much useful content is covered. After all, there is no tuition fee. However, based on the ethics of a teacher, I still made serious preparations.

I looked at the time and found that it was still early for the agreed time, so I continued to review some of my high school knowledge. To put it bluntly, these things are easy to pick up. After all, I have just graduated from high school for more than a year, and the foundation for the college entrance examination is still there.

Otherwise, if it was put aside until my senior year, I guess even if I were given three or four days, I might not be able to pick up the lost knowledge. After all... when you get to college, unless the major requires it, many subjects learned in high school will basically not be touched upon again.

In order to avoid showing my weakness, I briefly read through all the poems, songs, ancient culture, art, and traditions.

But just when I was feeling a little overwhelmed and was about to stretch and take a break, someone suddenly knocked on the dormitory door again.

Eh? Wait...why did I add another?

Although I wanted to pull out my three qualities as usual and have a good talk about life with the guy who knocked on my dormitory door on this weekend morning, but after thinking about what happened in the past two days, I gave up this plan.

Now the door of this dormitory has become Schrödinger's door to me.

Before you open the door, you never know whether the person knocking on the door is a cute girl or a classmate from the next dormitory.

I sighed and put away the information in my hand. Otherwise, if I kept knocking like this, the fat guy and the others who were still sleeping soundly on the bed would probably be woken up.

"Which one?"

"Brother Lin, it's me, Zhang Chao."

I looked at the figure standing outside the door and couldn't help but be full of questions, but it was not because I didn't know him. On the contrary, he and I were both in the Student Union and worked in the same department, so we were quite familiar with each other.

The reason I was confused was that Zhang Chao actually got up in the morning. You know, unless you are in class, it is basically impossible to see him in the morning on weekends, unless there is a beautiful woman... or something big happens.

"what happened?"

"It's a meeting. Brother Bai and the others have already gone there. Didn't you read the message in the group?"

"Oh... a regular meeting. I thought it was something else. You scared me. Then please sign in for me. I won't go. I have something else to do in the afternoon."

I waved my hand and prepared to go back to continue looking at the information. Just as I was about to close the door, Zhang Chao suddenly grabbed me.

"Brother Lin, this time is different. Recently, the school said that it would merge the student unions of our two colleges. The people in the secretariat of the former School of Finance said that they wanted to have a talk before the merger, so..."

Wow, no wonder this guy got up so early, it turns out this is not a department meeting, but a "bilateral meeting".

Although I have been thinking about resigning recently, the student unions of both sides have been arguing over the merger of the two colleges. If I don't go, the other side might think we are being arrogant, which might add fuel to the fire.

In the final analysis, people from both sides' student unions are student leaders who have worked hard for a year to get promoted. After they have finally made it, they suddenly say that others are going to take their positions. No one would accept this.

"Okay, okay, I'll go put on my coat."

Although I think today's meeting is a waste of time, I have thought of the process, which is basically -

Talk frankly - there are huge differences and it is impossible to communicate;

Exchange of opinions - everyone speaks their own words at the meeting, and no useful opinions are given;

It enhanced the mutual understanding between the two sides - the differences between the two sides were so great that they were almost at war;

But after all, this is my first time to attend a meeting with the student union of the same department in finance. I can't just stand them up right away. If I have to... I'll have to wait until next time.

Anyway, there was still enough time. Even if we wasted more time, a department meeting would only last ten minutes at most, so it didn't matter. So I took my coat and backpack and followed Zhang Chao to the teaching building, intending to see what the people from the finance department wanted to talk about.

"Oh... By the way, what's the name of the director of the finance secretariat? I forgot."

"No way, Brother Lin, the guy on the other side is your competitor, but you even forgot his name?"

After Zhang Chao heard what I said, his face was speechless and shocked, but I didn't care. After all, the university student union is simply a black-hearted company that doesn't pay for work. Instead of working here, I might as well go out and find a job.

"The director of the secretariat opposite is Huang Tao, but he seems to be a junior. He seemed to be a deputy director last year. I don't know why he didn't quit the student union this year, but was promoted to a full director instead."

Huh? Junior?

I was a little surprised when I heard what Huang Tao said, because most universities basically follow this process of freshman being a secretary, sophomore being a cadre, and junior being the chairman. If a junior is not promoted to chairman, he or she basically retires. After all, juniors and seniors are taking postgraduate entrance exams, taking civil service exams, or doing internships. Who has nothing to do and would like to get involved in student union affairs?

Of course, there are exceptions. That is, when all the officers of that term have retired and the cadre position becomes vacant, some juniors will continue to serve as cadres. However, generally speaking, they are cadres on secondment.

But there is no use just thinking about it, after all, the answer is not something that can be imagined, so I simply didn't bother to care and followed Zhang Tao to the small meeting room for the meeting.

But when I pushed the door open, a different atmosphere hit me, and the atmosphere was a little depressing. I quickly looked around, and the conference room didn't look big, with only a long table and a few chairs. White and his friends sat on one side, and the finance people sat on the other side. For a moment, I felt like there was a sense of confrontation.

They were already talking when I arrived. The man with messy hair, who had been chattering all the time, suddenly stopped talking when he saw me come in, and then looked at me unkindly, which made me feel a little puzzled.

"Does Minister Lin have no concept of time at all?"

"There are still three minutes left until the agreed time. Doesn't this prove that I have a good sense of time?"

After hearing what the man with the messy hair said, although I felt a little unhappy with his tone, I still held it back. After all, I was about to resign, and there was no need to create a lot of trouble for myself.

I pulled out a chair and sat opposite the man with messy hair. At the same time, I noticed that each person had his or her name and position on the table. This made me feel a little funny. It was such a small meeting, but it was still so formal.

I looked at the name tag on the desk of the man with the messy hair and found that, as I expected, the name tag had the two characters "Huang Tao" written on it. But just when I thought the matter was over, he said something sarcastic:

"Humph, you are really becoming more and more unruly. You don't even know how to say hello to your senior when you see him."

"Oh? Why do you need me to help you with your hands on your waist for a while, Senior Huang? Do you really think you are such a high-ranking official?"

The entire conference room suddenly fell silent, and Huang Tao was stunned, seemingly unable to react.

The more you endure, the angrier you will be; the more you take a step back, the greater the loss.

We all come into this world for the first time, there is no such thing as who gives way to whom. Even though I am about to quit my job, I must finish this slap in the face today!

What's more, I also realized that he probably didn't want to hold a meeting today, but was clearly here for me.

This made me speechless and amused. Even a small official like the student union cadres would do this. Although the student union of our college is quite normal, it depends entirely on the atmosphere of the student union of this college. As the saying goes, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. It does not mean that students of other colleges will not engage in bureaucratic style.

First, there was a student union president who couldn’t let people @ him, and then there was senior Zhang Meiyu who did the dormitory inspection in a domineering manner.

But this is not surprising. After all, colleges and universities screen out poor students, not scumbags.

"You...what did you say?"

"Nothing, I'm just a little curious. You're already a junior, why don't you go to the presidium, but be a minister here with us?"

"Which class are you in? Who is your counselor?"

"Municipal Marketing Class 1, the counselor is Xiao Jingwen, the office is on the fifth floor, if you go by yourself I won't accompany you. Of course...if you are too lazy to go, I also have a cell phone number here, which one do you choose?"

"this....."

Seeing that I was so thorough in my statement, Huang Tao choked up, as if he had not expected me to say that. Zhang Chao and the others also realized that Huang Tao was not here to discuss matters, but to stir up trouble. They all stood up and looked at Huang Tao with some hostility.

Huang Tao looked like a man who looked strong on the outside but was actually weak on the inside. He was used to taking advantage of trivial matters and when he saw that we were not buying it, he couldn't help but panic.

"You...what do you want to do? I'm telling you...hitting people is against the law, you know!"

"We just have some back pain. Senior Huang, why are you standing up? Is your back hurting too?"

"Okay, is this your attitude in this conversation? I'll remember that and report it to the presidium truthfully."

Things had come to this point and we had broken off relations. I didn't plan to argue with him any further and simply stood up and opened the door to the meeting room.

"Okay, go ahead."

"What are you going to do?"

Huang Tao was stunned for a moment after hearing what I said.

"Didn't you say you were going to report this to the presidium? Go ahead. Do you still need me to invite you?"

I shrugged indifferently.

"Okay... okay, I'll remember you, Lin Ran, right... let's see."

Huang Tao didn't seem to expect that we were not intimidated by him, and we didn't give him any face at all. After leaving a few harsh words, he hurried away. When his deputy ministers saw Huang Tao leaving, they did not leave with him. Instead, they gave me a thumbs up. It seemed that Huang Tao was also very unpopular in his own department.

But just when I was wondering how Huang Tao could still hold his post under such circumstances, my cell phone suddenly rang urgently. I took out my phone and saw that it was a temporary setting I had set up to prevent the meeting from lasting too long.

Seeing this, I didn't stay long. After saying goodbye to Zhang Chao and the others, I took a taxi to the destination mentioned in the email and started checking the student's information.

"Mo Yuhan...is she a high school girl?"

Chapter 18 My student is actually an iceberg lady???

Although I was a little surprised that my student was a high school girl, I wasn't too shocked. After all, it wasn't the first time I taught a girl. It's just that compared to boys...girls are a little easier to teach. On the one hand, it's easier to teach them, and on the other hand...it's also easier mentally.

To this I can only say, those who understand will understand!

"Young man, what are you going to do in Zishan Garden?"

Just when I was about to continue checking the message he had just sent, the driver looked at the navigation on his phone and asked me slowly.

"Teaching. I have a student over there."

"Wow, that's incredible! That's a famous villa area."

A famous villa area?

I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, because I really didn't pay much attention to where Zishan Garden was. After all, it was not an important topic. But to be on the safe side, I still opened my phone and searched the housing prices in Zishan Garden.

"Fuck!"

When I saw the bunch of zeros behind each square meter, my hands started shaking and I almost dropped my phone on the ground. At the same time, I suddenly realized why the house number in the previous location information no longer had the floor. Oh my god...it turns out this is a rich area!

Could it be that the student I teach... is a young lady?

Wait! A high school girl, a young lady, a tutor?

Why does this scene look so familiar? Could it be that the student I teach is a spoiled young lady who is uneducated and unskilled and cannot be dealt with by an ordinary teacher?

Thinking of this, I swallowed and forced myself to calm down. This is reality, not fiction. How could such a coincidence happen? If it was such a coincidence, I would go into seclusion right now to practice, read all the experiences of a certain rich and handsome protagonist in a novel, and then come back to class.

Although I was very nervous in the car, what really shocked me was when I got off the car at the destination. Looking at the magnificent carved gate in front of me, I felt that if I could take a piece of gold paint from it, it would be enough to earn a day's work.

And the people guarding the gate outside were not a group of old men in security uniforms, but a group of young men wearing what looked like gorgeous military uniforms. Combined with the completely transparent guard post, I would have believed it if someone told me that this was a military compound.

I walked to the gate, and before I could say anything, a security guard pushed the door open from the sentry post. Although he looked at me warily, he still asked me a question very politely.

"Sir, are you a resident or a visitor?"
