Chapter 644: Keep Up the Good Work (Second Update)
Hearing Lin Feng say that, and seeing Zhao Jian’s performance, Ding Wan’er’s face revealed an even brighter smile. The situation was just too hilarious, but Ding Wan’er didn’t want Lin Feng to be transferred out of the General Affairs Department. With Lin Feng there to keep things in check, Zhao Jian would restrain himself quite a bit. She had a rough idea of what Zhao Jian was like before, so it wasn’t a bad thing for Lin Feng to be "hanging" there in the General Affairs Department for now. At least that way, Zhao Jian would cause fewer messy problems and be able to focus on doing his job well.
With these thoughts, the efficient Ding Wan’er walked up to Lin Feng and gently straightened his clothes with a tender and graceful touch, radiating the happiness of a doting little woman.
"You are the best! To think you’ve earned such high praise in the General Affairs Department, you’ve even surpassed me, the principal," Ding Wan’er said softly, then left without another word. As soon as she climbed the stairs and turned a corner, she couldn’t help but cover her mouth and burst into laughter. Today, Zhao Jian was just too funny. How had she never noticed before that Zhao Jian was so adept at flattery? It seemed she had made the right decision not to let Lin Feng leave the General Affairs Department; as such, Zhao Jian wouldn’t be so outrageous in the future.
When Ding Wan’er returned to the principal’s office, ready to start work, she still couldn’t help but laugh again, thinking to herself how interesting Zhao Jian really was. If Lin Feng didn’t transfer, Zhao Jian would surely be restless...
"..." Lin Feng, hearing Ding Wan’er say that, became even more speechless. He hadn’t expected to run into such a farce first thing in the morning, truly absurd. Without uttering another word, he turned and left the office building. After leaving the building, Lin Feng couldn’t help laughing as well. Zhao Jian was indeed quite a character. He just wanted Ding Wan’er to transfer him out of the General Affairs Department, yet it turned into an extravagant session of flattering him. Only Zhao Jian could come up with such a thing.
Shaking his head helplessly, Lin Feng walked towards the Language Institute. He had classes to teach this morning, and he thought it was best to go have a look, as it had been a long time since he had seen those students... Deep down, he really missed them...
"This..."
Zhao Jian, seeing how Ding Wan’er had just behaved and the fact that she left without saying anything, just stood there stunned, heart nearly bursting with grief. He hadn’t expected things to turn out this way. This morning, he had only wanted to ask Ding Wan’er to transfer Lin Feng out of the General Affairs Department, a seemingly simple task. But instead, Lin Feng had shown up at just the wrong time and had displayed affection with Ding Wan’er right in front of him. What was he supposed to do now?
Zhao Jian’s head throbbed with pain. The more he thought about how Ding Wan’er hadn’t said a word before leaving, the more it meant Lin Feng would not be leaving the General Affairs Department. How was he supposed to get through this? Moreover, Lin Feng had overheard him giving such ridiculous flattery. If Lin Feng caused trouble for him behind the scenes, he would be in big trouble. How was he going to live his days from now on...
Zhao Jian shook his head in frustration, walking towards the General Affairs Department with resignation in his heart. The leader wishes to have subordinates stronger than himself, but with Lin Feng in the General Affairs Department, Zhao Jian would live in constant fear and anxiety. Thinking back, he wished he had treated Lin Feng as if he were invisible from the start, avoiding all this current stress and worry. He truly regretted not figuring out sooner how to deal with Lin Feng. Instead of getting Lin Feng into trouble, now it was he who was trapped. Ah... what a mess!
The bitterness within him made Zhao Jian feel incredibly uncomfortable. Under these circumstances, he couldn’t find a good way to handle the situation with Lin Feng. Without Lin Feng, he could lord over others, but with Lin Feng there, he couldn’t even express his dominance. Before knowing Lin Feng’s background, he couldn’t do anything to him. And now that Lin Feng was the principal’s fiancé, he was even more powerless to get him transferred. This was troubling...
Zhao Jian’s heart was suffocating, but now Ding Wan’er’s attitude had driven him to despair. It seemed unlikely Lin Feng would ever leave the General Affairs Department, which meant he would have to continue living on tenterhooks. What kind of life was that!
"Sigh..."
Zhao Jian let out a long, powerless sigh, dejectedly opened the door to his office, and slumped into his chair, completely lacking in spirit. He had been suffering from insomnia lately, thinking that today he could finally get Lin Feng to leave the General Affairs Department and end his days of torment. But things had gone contrary to his wishes, not only failing to get Lin Feng to leave but also ending with Lin Feng witnessing him going to Ding Wan’er. Now he didn’t know how Lin Feng would treat him in the future. What was he to do!
Troubling indeed...
...
Lin Feng arrived at the French department to find a throng of students even before entering the classroom, instantly dispelling any unpleasant feelings about his earlier encounter with Zhao Jian, feeling great!
"Teacher Lin is here!"
"Wow! Teacher Lin finally came!"
"Teacher Lin is really here!"
...
The French students from other schools, crowding around the door, all erupted into excitement at the sight of Lin Feng. Each of their faces was filled with joyous smiles. It had been over a month of longing for them; ever since they had heard Lin Feng speak French, they had found it unbearable to return to their original schools and listen to their original teachers. Listening to Lin Feng was a pleasure, while listening to their old teachers was torture. Therefore, they all dreamed of Lin Feng returning to continue teaching as soon as possible.
When they heard from the students at Yingbo University yesterday that Teacher Lin had shown up, the news spread like wildfire. This morning, they had hurried to Yingbo University bright and early, prepared to attend Lin Feng’s French class. They had waited for over a month, and now they had finally seen Teacher Lin return. How could they not be thrilled!
"Students, please make way," Lin Feng said indifferently. Seeing so many students outside, he shook his head, wondering what to do next. The students kept increasing, and the classroom was already the largest one in the Language Institute. Yet, still, many students crowded outside. It seemed that instead of decreasing, the number of students had grown even more over the month without classes. It was becoming a bit too influential; it seemed that every student studying French in Tianhai was making their way over... that was quite an issue.
Upon hearing Teacher Lin’s words, the students immediately cleared a path for Lin Feng to enter the classroom. They all took out their recorders, ready to listen to the lecture.
Lin Feng walked into the classroom and greeted his students before casually chatting with them to find out if they had been slacking off during his absence. Seeing their fluent responses, he was relieved.
Mao Rongrong and Ye Xiaoyu were very happy to see Lin Feng return, their faces full of joy as they watched him. They felt an indescribable elation in their hearts, but when they saw Lin Feng looking their way, both of them quickly lowered their heads at the same time, afraid to meet his gaze. They were feeling complicated inside, unsure of how Teacher Lin would view them now.
"Sister Rongrong, what should we do?"
"I don’t know either!"
"It’s all because of our two clownish fathers; how are we supposed to face Teacher Lin?"
"I’m worried too, Xiaoyu. You’re the one with ideas, think of something."
"How about we invite Teacher Lin to a meal?"
"That could work. Should we bring the two clownish fathers over as well?"
"Of course they should be there. They caused the trouble, how could they not be involved!"
...
Mao Rongrong and Ye Xiaoyu whispered to each other with their heads down, pondering how to mitigate the negative impact brought by their fathers. After all, what their fathers had done was indeed too much. Not to mention that they hadn’t actually been involved with Teacher Lin yet, even if they had, there was no need for their fathers to act like that!
However, deep down, they harbored another hope: they wished that after their fathers had brought the issue to light, Teacher Lin would start to develop some thoughts about them, such as getting closer to them, or even...
Of course, these thoughts were something they could not voice out loud; they could only secretly entertain them in their hearts. The two girls hadn’t realized that after their fathers had cleared the air with Lin Feng, he had grown rapidly from a seed, and would soon become a towering tree...
Time flew by unnoticed, and before long, it was time to start class. As the class bell rang, Lin Feng returned to the podium and began the day’s lecture.
Under Lin Feng’s incredibly pure French pronunciation and his deep knowledge of interesting French history, a lively French class came to an end all too soon.
The students, engrossed in the lesson, were abruptly brought back to reality by the bell signaling the end of class, feeling very dissatisfied. It seemed too soon; they hadn’t had their fill of the lesson, which was quite frustrating.
"Students, next class we will discuss the era of Louis XIV of France, and I hope you can preview the relevant materials in advance. That’s it for today’s class; class dismissed," Lin Feng said upon hearing the bell ring, briefly outlining the content for the next class before declaring the end of the current one.
Having finished, Lin Feng turned to leave, but as soon as he did, he was surrounded by the students.
"Teacher Lin, how do you solve this problem..."
"Teacher Lin, I don’t understand this part..."
"Teacher Lin, could you show us how to pronounce these words..."
...
The students had accumulated many questions over the past month. Seeing class end, they immediately enclosed Lin Feng, looking to him to solve their academic issues. They had finally seen Teacher Lin come to teach, and they weren’t going to miss such a good opportunity. Lin Feng might suddenly disappear again—what would they do then? Thus, the students wanted Lin Feng to address all their questions today, rather than risk him vanishing once more.
