Chapter 89 The Old Professor Calls!
After Guo Ziyuan left, An Yue stood there stunned for a while before pushing open the door of the coffee shop and walking out.
In October, Yilan City is neither too hot nor too cold!
Walking on the street, An Yue felt nothing special except that everything seemed unfamiliar.
"Buzz!" An Yue's phone vibrated.
Dao Dao: "How is it? Did you see anyone? Are you alright?"
An Yue replied, "He has already left."
Dao Dao: "Did he invite you to dinner, late-night snacks, bars, or quiet pubs?"
'
An Yue: "He drank my coffee. He didn't buy me any."
Dao Dao: "Huh?"
"???"
"Are we overthinking this? Did you encounter a complete, utterly clueless straight man, and the kind with terminal cancer at that?"
An Yue: "No, if he were straight, he wouldn't be called a straight man."
"I felt like a child in his presence."
"He told me today that the reason I'm having such a hard time at Yishi Hospital is because I'm too polite and not down-to-earth enough."
"They say I have a bit of a tea-like air about me. Where do I have that tea-like air about me?"
Dao Dao: "What a mess! This guy's a total jerk, isn't he?"
Why did she say that about you?
An Yue: "He didn't say anything about me; it's my own understanding, but that's roughly the gist of it."
Dao Dao: "Sigh, Yueyue, you've had it so tough. If only you hadn't chosen to make that exchange."
"She's doing extremely well right now—"
An Yue: "If I hadn't chosen the exchange program back then, it's uncertain whether I would have been able to graduate on time. Where would I have found the time to study and conduct research?"
"I'm definitely still in debt from student loans!"
"Part-time jobs can barely make ends meet, but they will definitely interfere with my studies."
"I have to thank Sister Xiaoxu for giving me such a good job. Please don't talk about her like that."
"Medicine is inherently difficult to learn. To learn in eight years what others take eleven years to learn is only more difficult and requires even more time investment."
"Moreover, without Sister Xiaoxu, I wouldn't have been able to get so much research funding at the beginning, and I wouldn't have been able to carry out the later projects."
Dao Dao: "Yue Yue, didn't you say before that your grandma left you some money before she passed away? Are you really struggling to make ends meet?"
"It's enough to get by in a normal life until graduation, but it's definitely not enough to have that many learning opportunities!"
'
"Don't mention this anymore, Xiaoxu has been very good to me."
"She helped me, which gave me more confidence to focus on my studies without being bothered by other factors."
"Otherwise, an ordinary person like me would just be an ordinary person on the side of the road at Kyoto University."
An Yue never thought he was bad or that he was lacking in talent.
However, An Yue didn't dare to be so arrogant as to think that he could work part-time, study at the same time, and even drag his classmates down with him.
The resources that he gained through the transaction were not something that Anyue could obtain by simply following the normal path of learning.
Dao Dao: "Alright, alright, no matter what, you have to protect yourself."
"Studying was tough, but it was actually the happiest and most carefree time of my life."
"Now that I'm working, I have so many more worries. Sigh—"
"I believe you will soon be able to fulfill your long-cherished dream of buying your own house and never having to rent again."
An Yue put down his phone and placed it in his small bag.
Walking through unfamiliar streets, looking at unfamiliar traffic, unfamiliar streetlights, and unfamiliar scenery, An Yue's expression remained completely calm.
She only knew one thing: she had to rely on her own efforts to establish a firm foothold.
My foundation is already very, very, very good!
It's so much better than when her grandmother took care of her—
Before she knew it, An Yue had arrived at the entrance of her rented apartment complex. She turned and went inside.
Ding Xianqi: [Transfer of 3000.00 yuan]
"The subsidies your department gives you can't be paid through the official account, so I'm supposed to transfer them to you privately."
Guo Ziyuan's face lit up with joy as he looked at the message from his master, a message that had been weighing heavily on his bank card.
"Master, this wasn't posted privately by you, was it?"
"If it was posted privately by you, I can't accept it!"
Upon arriving in Yishi, Guo Ziyuan had an early advantage in promotion. This was all thanks to the clerk's favor!
It's a bit much that Master Ding Xianqi has to use his own money to feed them.
Ding Xianqi: "If you are willing to go through the procedures and sign a contract, you can receive a normal salary every month, which is much more than this!"
"6~
Guo Ziyuan: "Master, then let's forget about it."
Ding Xianqi wanted to relieve the pressure on her body whenever she found an opportunity, but how could Guo Ziyuan give Ding Xianqi that opportunity?
"How are you feeling today?" Ding Xianqi asked.
Guo Ziyuan turned on the air conditioner in the living room: "It's alright, Master. The teachers in the department are all very kind and easy to get along with."
The apartment was just rented yesterday; it's a one-bedroom studio apartment, and the monthly rent is 1,300 yuan, which is considered a friendly price.
"Be quick-witted!"
"I trust you, but you should be more proactive and correct your learning attitude," Ding Xianqi lectured.
Guo Ziyuan listened, but didn't obey: "Okay, okay, Master."
"Master, you don't need to feel any pressure. Too much of a good thing is bad. Relax once in a while."
"If you're really sensible, come back and go through the procedures!" Ding Xianqi cursed.
Guo Ziyuan doesn't intend to pay him any attention!
This master is determined to force me; the pressure won't lessen until he has an epiphany.
Guo Ziyuan would rather beat himself up than suffer the beatings from social or medical malpractice incidents.
After all, the master is family!
Guo Ziyuan was about to go to sleep when the phone rang.
Upon closer inspection of the notes, it was revealed to be Ma Chuanfeng.
Generally speaking, a master's degree holder like Guo Ziyuan wouldn't be able to get a professor's private phone number.
Yes, even if Guo Ziyuan has a master's degree in trauma surgery, you can only find the professor's work phone number; you can't possibly find Ma Chuanfeng's personal phone number.
"Teacher Ma! You haven't rested yet?" Guo Ziyuan's voice sounded slightly nervous.
Previously, with his advisor backing him up, Guo Ziyuan was naturally not afraid.
But this is Professor Ma Chuanfeng after all. If he really gets angry with him, Guo Ziyuan is still a little guilty.
The anger of a professor in office is not so easy to quell.
Ma Chuanfeng took several calm breaths before saying, "Xiao Guo, it's normal that you might have some opinions about me."
"After all, I didn't help you with your studies before."
"But don't worry, I won't have any problem with you just because you didn't choose me!"
'
"Professor Huang called me again today and told us not to bother you—I think that's fine."
"But I thought about it and decided I should still call you to let you know."
"No matter what, whether you choose Ding Xianqi or not, you will still be my student."
"You are in my group now, that's a given fact, and it will be a given fact in the future."
"If you need any help, you can give me a call!"
"After all, Professor Huang Zhao is getting old, and there are many things he may not be able to handle as easily."
Guo Ziyuan thought about it carefully and agreed: "Okay, Teacher Ma, if needed, I would definitely like to receive guidance from the teachers."
Ma Chuanfeng added, "Guo Ziyuan, I know you're a smart man, but some things are best left unsaid."
"Not everyone is like you, able to become stronger under pressure. Don't be too harsh on Ding Xianqi."
"I don't quite agree with some of Professor Huang Zhao's techniques!"
Ma Chuanfeng, being quite old, could certainly see what Guo Ziyuan was doing; he was forcing Ding Xianqi to grow up quickly.
But Ma Chuanfeng was convinced that this was Huang Zhao's doing.
This also fits Huang Zhao's "Old Evil" persona. No one would think that Guo Ziyuan would voluntarily "wind up" his teacher!
"Teacher Ma, anything is possible with human effort. I'm just saying what I want to say."
"And as you know, Teacher Ma, I'm a sentimental person."
"I generally don't remember who treated me badly, but I do remember who treated me well," Guo Ziyuan stated.
