Chapter 750: Dean Shen Really Dotes on His Daughter
At the same time, Shen Zhijin was on the phone with Xia Rui.
“Teacher Xia. Hello, I’m Shen Zhijin.”
When Xia Rui heard this name, she was shocked.
“Dean Shen?!”
Shen Zhijin was actually calling her!
When Xia Rui graduated from Xijing University, she had immediately stayed on at the school as an instructor. She was very young and had very little experience.
Even though Shen Zhijin was the honorary dean of the Institute of Physics, “” he had not been in the school for long. Thus, even the head of the department might not have had much chance to interact with him yet.
Xia Rui nervously sat up straighter when she received the call. She quickly went through her thoughts in her mind. Could it be that she had made a mistake at work? Or...
At the same time, the other teachers in the office looked over at her.
Xia Rui gestured at them and quickly asked, “Dean Shen, do you have any instructions for me?”
Shen Zhijin’s voice was calm and clear.
“It’s nothing. I’m calling as Tangtang– Shen Li’s parent.”
Xia Rui immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
“Oh, I see! Please go ahead!”
Shen Zhijin asked, “I heard that her final results are out so I’m calling to ask her how she did.”
“Oh! You mean that?”
Xia Rui looked at the computer screen on her desk.
The results of the students were not publicly available, but as a teacher, she could of course log into the administrative office’s system to find out the results of any student.
Shen Zhijin had an extraordinary status at Xijing University. It would not be a problem for him to ask about his daughter’s results.
“Please wait a moment, I’ll check it for you.”
As Xia Rui spoke, she tilted her head and placed her phone on her shoulder. Her hands quickly tapped the keyboard a few times.
Soon, the page showing Shen Li’s results popped up.
Xia Rui’s eyes widened in shock when she saw the string of perfect scores displayed on it.
The scores for each course had been recorded into the system by the respective teachers. Furthermore, all the results for today had just been compiled, so Xia Rui did not have the time to look at them.
She was completely shocked by Shen Li’s perfect score.
“Dean... Dean Shen...” Xia Rui’s throat had gone dry. It took her a lot of effort to suppress the shock in her heart. “Shen Li’s grades in all thirteen courses are... are perfect.”
The office fell silent for a moment. All the teachers looked over in shock.
“Perfect scores?”
“Are you serious?”
“This... I don’t know about any others, but I gave her full marks in my mechanics class...”
“Me too...”
“I seem to remember that she got full marks in the National Physics Competition, right?”
“As expected of Dean Shen’s daughter, her IQ is really...”
A moment later, Shen Zhijin’s voice came through the receiver, sounding calm and polite.
“Okay, thank you.”
“You’re too polite!” Xia Rui was overwhelmed by the favor.
Shen Zhijin said, “Thank you.”
“This is Ah Li’s first semester in university. It’s all thanks to Teacher Xia’s care and concern for her studies and daily life. I have to thank you.”
Xia Rui did not know what to say.
In the academy, even the teachers and professors respected and admired Shen Zhijin, not to mention the students.
Of course, she was the same.
Who would have thought that in her lifetime, she would be able to hear Shen Zhijin thank her so earnestly and courteously?
This was the pinnacle of her life!
“Dean Shen, we’re just doing what we’re supposed to! Besides, Shen Li is smart and sensible. She doesn’t need anyone to supervise and push her. She’s capable of doing everything to the best of her ability. The main reason she’s able to achieve such results is all due to herself...”
Xia Rui could not help but praise her a few more times.
Shen Zhijin asked several other questions regarding daily matters and thanked her again before hanging up.
Xia Rui remained in a daze until she put her phone down.
He mumbled in a daze, “... Dean Shen is so approachable!”
Knowing that Shen Zhijin was busy with work, she did not dare to delay any longer. However, she really wanted to continue chatting...
What a rare opportunity!
One of the teachers suddenly thought of something and curiously asked,”Hey, Lil Xia, I remember that the students will be allowed to check their own grades today. Wouldn’t it have been more convenient for Dean Shen to ask her directly?”
Xia Rui stroked her chin and fell into deep thought.
“Perhaps Shen Li is quite busy and hasn’t had the chance to check her grades yet?”
Another middle-aged female teacher said,”You guys don’t understand. Shen Li is the daughter that Dean Shen has just found. After all, the two of them haven’t seen each other for more than ten years. This way of communication is especially important! I reckon that Dean Shen doesn’t want to pressure her, but he’s worried about her results. That must be why he took the trouble to look for you.”
She took a sip of hot tea and sighed.
“Dean Shen only has one daughter. Wouldn’t you want to pamper her and behave carefully all the time? He has really good intentions!”
These words successfully convinced the teachers in the office, and they all nodded in seriousness.
“Exactly!”
“Dean Shen has lived alone for many years, and now, he suddenly has a precious daughter. I’m sure he’s unsure as to how to show love to her.”
“Don’t talk about him. I look at that child, and I just want to dote on her myself! Sigh... I look at his child and then look at our own good-for-nothing children. There’s really no way they can be compared!”
“I heard Shen Li will apply for an exemption next semester. She’s probably planning to complete her undergraduate course ahead of schedule. With that perfect GPA, surely it will be approved without a hitch?”
“Let’s not talk about it anymore. I’ve been tutoring my son in middle school mathematics and I’m going crazy. Look at Dean Shen. I can’t help but envy him for having such a daughter that he doesn’t need to worry about!”
...
Shen Zhijin ended the call with Xia Rui. Only then did he notice Shen Li’s missed call.
He called her back.
“Tangtang?”
Shen Li was already sitting in Gu Siyang’s car.
“Dad, I’m going to First Uncle’s house for lunch now. Are you free? Would you like to come over?”
Shen Zhijin responded with a yes.
Shen Li’s eyes curved into a smile.
“Then, we’ll wait for you over there.”
Just then, Lu Huaiyu’s phone rang. Gu Tinglan was calling him.
Lu Huaiyu tapped on the screen and finally answered the call.
“Hello.”
Gu Tinglan had wanted to ask him about what had happened when he had followed Shen Li to test drive the car today. However, before he could say anything, he heard Shen Li’s voice.
“I don’t want anything. Dad, you can just come over.”
Gu Tinglan paused. He keenly sensed something.
“Where... are you guys going?”
Gu Siyang heard this and thought, ‘F*ck’!
Without thinking, he immediately stepped on the accelerator!
