Chapter 374 Huang Shi Became a Teaching Assistant
Lin Feng! Lin Feng!
Watching her grandfather walk away, Ding Wan’er felt as if she suddenly understood his intention. The main reason he had organized this birthday party was to help her sort out her issues with Lin Feng. Could it be that Grandfather knew something?
Now Ding Wan’er’s heart was extremely complicated because her mind was filled with images of Lin Feng, and with today’s encounter with Grandfather, she had no idea what he might think of or hear about her. Otherwise, why would Grandfather suddenly plan a party without any warning, and his final words seemed to awaken her to make sure to have Lin Feng come to her home for dinner.
It seemed that Grandfather had really guessed her feelings, yet he hadn’t said anything to spare her the embarrassment. She hadn’t expected that she couldn’t hide anything from him. Without saying anything herself, he had already guessed it, and that he had to worry about this matter for her showed she really hadn’t grown up.
After seeing Grandfather leave, Ding Wan’er turned to leave as well, but her heart was still very heavy and completely in chaos; her entire mind was muddled. She didn’t know how to deal with the birthday party, how to invite Lin Feng, who to invite, she just didn’t know...
With her head full of chaotic thoughts, Ding Wan’er slowly left the edge of Labor Lake and returned to her own office, hoping to calm her mind and think about what to do next.
Ding Yi left Ding Wan’er and walked towards the villa, his mind similarly preoccupied with many thoughts.
Although Wan’er was very smart, taking over as the dean of Yingbo University at such a young age and keeping everything in the university well-organized, she was still like a child when it came to some matters, completely immature, just like today’s situation. She could have easily spoken up, with only the two of them present, nothing should be unsaid, yet she chose to hide and insist on solving the problem by herself without any solutions, merely dragging it out and adding to her troubles.
Ding Yi, as her grandfather, was indeed very concerned about Ding Wan’er. Ever since Lin Feng had arrived at Yingbo University, he had arranged for people to keep an eye on Lin Feng’s every move in the school. This wasn’t surveillance but understanding, because anyone needs to be understood. He could never just hand over his granddaughter to a stranger, not even Lin Feng, despite him being Wan’er’s fiancé!
But later on, learning about what Lin Feng had done in the school made Ding Yi very happy. Lin Feng had handled many issues in the school that others couldn’t, which proved Lin Feng’s exceptional ability. He was knowledgeable in many areas that surprised everyone, performing beyond what ordinary people could achieve in every domain. Lin Feng had transcended the term "genius," and there simply were no words to describe his capabilities.
Most importantly, Lin Feng’s character was even better. According to the reports, Lin Feng was truly beyond reproach, a truly outstanding individual. But this came with a downside: he had many women around him, each one of them a top-notch beauty, on par with Wan’er. Although Lin Feng showed no particular interest in these women, being surrounded by a group of beauties all the time wasn’t ideal. Who knew what might develop over time?
Moreover, since Wan’er was Lin Feng’s fiancée, their relationship should be settled sooner rather than later to avoid unnecessary complications. Since Wan’er was too shy to speak bluntly about the issue, it was natural for him, as her grandfather, to step in and help. This was his duty, and that’s why he had arranged for Wan’er’s birthday party with this purpose in mind.
Thinking this, Ding Yi smiled. Wan’er, this child, was good at everything except handling matters of the heart. Despite her strong woman facade, in this aspect, she was truly just a shy girl, too embarrassed to speak her mind. In fact, he could see that she really liked Lin Feng but didn’t know how to proceed or how to clarify their relationship. In such a case, it was most appropriate for him to come forward.
He wondered what Lin Feng’s reaction would be when he found out Wan’er was his fiancée. The thought made him look forward to it...
...
A few uneventful days passed, and Lin Feng’s car was finally fixed and back in his possession. These days, Huang Shi had been incredibly annoying, following him around with whatever he did, acting exactly like a faithful sidekick. The heir to the Huang Group was really content being his follower, which left Lin Feng speechless, as it was too conspicuous.
Lin Feng knew it was all because of the shocking abilities he had displayed at Songyuan Villa, which made Huang Shi behave this way. He also understood that Huang Shi truly wanted to follow him, but still, it was too soon for Lin Feng to teach him certain things.
Lin Feng felt that he still didn’t understand Huang Shi well enough and decided to observe him a bit longer. If Huang Shi turned out to be a good person, then imparting some knowledge to him would be fine. Anyway, Huang Shi was already beyond the ideal age for a cultivator to begin training, so there wasn’t much potential for growth, although acquiring basic self-defense abilities and surpassing ordinary people was still easily achievable.
In the morning, following routine, Lin Feng dropped Ding Wan’er at work. He always felt that since the start of school, Ding Wan’er seemed to have a lot on her mind. Every time he drove her, he could sense she would often get lost in thought, deeply engrossed until the car stopped, and she would realize they had arrived. Moreover, she hardly spoke to Lin Feng, which made him wonder what was wrong with Ding Wan’er and what could have happened to make her act so out of the norm.
After dropping Ding Wan’er off and locking the car, he swung by the general office, said nothing, and walked out to head to the French department to prepare for class.
But what surprised Lin Feng was that he actually saw Huang Shi in the French department’s office, and furthermore, Huang Shi had hit it off with the teachers there, chatting away so spiritedly that Lin Feng found it somewhat strange. What on earth was going on, how did he end up here?
...
Huang Shi had also been quite busy these past few days. Aside from attending normal classes, he would always find an excuse to visit the department office whenever the Boss was away, because he felt that as a student, he had too few opportunities to interact with Lin Feng. If he could find a way to become a teaching assistant or something similar, that would be more convenient. As long as he could spend more time with the Boss, he would achieve his goal.
Huang Shi originally thought that throwing some money around would get the job done, but he didn’t expect this approach to fail in the Language Faculty because Dean Leng was there. He had no choice but to rely on his own efforts. As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold, and Huang Shi was indeed quite talented, holding several degrees from different institutions. After all his efforts, he actually managed to become a teaching assistant in the French department. Although it was for a minor subject, it didn’t matter to him. His aim was to be a frequent presence in the office and to spend more time with the Boss.
Today was his first day as a teaching assistant, so Huang Shi arrived at the French department’s office building early, carrying two bags of items and heading straight into the office.
"Huang Shi, you’re here early!"
"Huang Shi, congratulations, you really became a teaching assistant."
"Huang Shi, help us out more in the future!"
...
The office staff were very enthusiastic towards Huang Shi. They had received notice yesterday that Huang Shi would be joining the French department as a teaching assistant, which had excited everyone. They had arrived at the office early, hoping to interact more with Huang Shi. Getting to know Huang Shi could be very beneficial; the name of the Crown Prince of the renowned Huang Group was not to be taken lightly.
It turned out that the French department’s meal at the Jinjiang Hotel had already spread throughout the entire office. Those who hadn’t gone were kicking themselves; if they had known they could dine at the Jinjiang Hotel’s revolving restaurant without paying, they would have gone even if it meant getting scolded by their wives. But regrets were useless now, they could only look on with envy, jealousy, and hatred towards those who went.
As time went by, Huang Shi frequently visited the office, and having been introduced by teachers who had dined at the Jinjiang Hotel, everyone recognized him as the young master of the Huang Family. Suddenly, many remembered seeing photos of him in gossip magazines and were amazed by his background, daydreaming about how wonderful it would be to be Huang Shi, with endless money to spend...
"Hello everyone, today is my first day as a teaching assistant. These are some breakfast items I brought for everyone, and these are small gifts I bought for you all. I hope you like them." Huang Shi was in a great mood today. He set the two bags down on a desk, gesturing for all the teachers in the office to come get food and gifts. These were for his new colleagues, not for any other reason, but to have a harmonious environment in the office. Other issues didn’t need to be overthought.
"Thanks a lot!"
"That’s very kind of you!"
"You bought breakfast too!"
...
The teachers in the office, seeing that Huang Shi, the heir of the Huang Group, was actually buying breakfast and gifts for them, instantly held Huang Shi in even higher regard. From gossip magazines, wealthy young heirs were often portrayed as brash troublemakers, but Huang Shi had not exhibited any of those negative traits over these days. Having such a young heir as a colleague was wonderful; not to mention there were breakfast and gifts. They were overjoyed.
Thinking this, everyone took a portion of breakfast and a gift. The breakfast looked ordinary, though beautifully packaged, but the gifts were a different story. When everyone opened their gifts, their eyes widened in surprise, for within the unassuming small packages were a pair of couple’s watches and four vouchers.
