Chapter 1408: Who Was Going To Be The New Dean? If?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After sending Gu Juexi and Ye Yuwei off, Wen Tao called Wen Shan to ask her where she was.
Wen Shan has just moved into the staff quarters. She had been assigned to a small studio apartment since she was just a small-time teaching assistant.
On the other side of the apartment complex were rows of iconic bungalows. Those were the residences of the deans of the various faculties.
Wen Shan looked down from her window of the third-floor apartment and pouted in envy. She could see the courtyard of their dean’s house from here. “I just moved to the staff quarters.”
“The staff quarters? You’re not staying at home?” Wen Tao asked with a frown. “Why don’t I buy you a house near the university?”
“No! Don’t you dare!” Wen Shan interjected quickly. “I know that Yaojing doesn’t mind, but I do! Don’t you dare corrupt an inspiring youth. I can buy my own house with my own money in the future.”
“You plan to buy a house with your teaching assistant salary of a few thousand per month?” Wen Tao scoffed.
“Thanks for your concern.” Wen Shan pursed her lips in irritation. She went back to the living room and laid down on the sofa. “You capitalist vampires will never understand the noble sentiments of we educators.”
Wen Tao laughed loudly and changed the topic. “I’ll buy you a car then, it’s more convenient for you to commute.”
Wen Shan jumped up from the sofa. After some consideration, she said, “Buy me an electric bicycle then. I just realized that it’s a little far from the quarters to the lecture halls.”
“Okay, I’ll transfer the money to you later and you can buy it yourself,” Wen Tao agreed.
“I’ll ask Yaojing to accompany me.”
“No! It’s jam-packed with people everywhere now, why would you want to take your sister-in-law out? What if someone knocks her or runs into her?”
Wen Shan arched her eyebrows as she listened to her brother’s argument. Her intuition told her that her brother and his wife were about to fight.
After ending the call with her brother, Wen Shan got to her feet again and walked to the window. This time, however, she saw people in the courtyard of her dean’s house, and they were packing things.
It looked like they were moving.
Wen Shan wondered if this was to make room for the new dean.
Who was going to be the new dean? If?
Wen Shan cupped her chin and looked down. If she and If were neighbors, she would parade around and tell all her friends the news.
It was If she was talking about—the academic deity that was admired and worshipped by so many people.
But she only dared to admire If from afar. Falling in love with an idol was a terrible idea, she had learned that the hard way.
While Wen Shan was deep in thought, there was a knock on the door that pulled her back to her senses. She hurriedly went to open the door.
Ding Junhui standing in front of her door.
“Hi, I would like to ask you out for dinner. It is for the housewarming, and also to congratulate you for officially becoming a part of our academic family,” Ding Junhui leaned against the doorway and said with a smile.
Wen Shan smiled awkwardly and said, “Erm, Dr. Ding, thanks for the invite but I’ll be meeting Le Tian later.”
Ding Junhui was calm when he heard the answer. “Wen Shan, you don’t like spending time with me, do you?”
Wen Shan widened her eyes in surprise.
It was such an obvious statement. It would be a little too obvious if she pretended not to understand his underlying remark.
It was a rather dreadful feeling to be liked by someone you didn’t like.
Wen Shan felt relieved when she thought of it. She looked at Ding Junhui earnestly and said, “Dr. Ding, do you know that I courted a man for more than half a year?”
Ding Junhui shrugged, waiting for her to continue.
Wen Shan tilted her head in confusion. After a while, she said with a sigh, “Never mind, let’s go out and eat then. My treat.”
