So Pure, So Flirtatious

Yang Ming was a little lost for words. He looked at Professor Wang in front of him and did not know whether to cry or laugh.

In fact, not every university professor conducted themselves professionally. There were always rotten apples in advanced education institutions, such as Professor Wang who was right in front of him.

“Whether I drop out of school or not is not for you to decide, right?” Yang Ming was amused now. “Besides, you were the one shouting and screaming while entering someone else’s private room. Before I figured out your identity, you scolded me and my family members… Do you know that my godfather is sitting right here now?”

“Your godfather? Hmph! I have been standing here for so long and yet he didn’t even greet and shake hands with me. What kind of parent is he? This godfather thing is just nonsense!” Professor Wang’s anger had been simmering in his heart. Hence, his temper was at its worst and he scolded everybody harshly.

When Professor Wang entered the room, Liu Weishan found his voice to be familiar. When he claimed that he was Director Wang of the Economics Department, Liu Weishan instantly knew who this person was.

During these past few days, Professor Wang had been visiting his office frequently with the glorified excuse of reporting his work progress. In reality, his main purpose was to get into Liu Weishan’s good side so that he could be promoted to Department Head. Liu Wishan was well aware of this matter.

However, Liu Weishan was not short of money and his personal conduct was fair. He just pretended to be oblivious to Professor Wang’s intentions when professor Wang tried to suck up to him.

Initially, Liu Weishan was thinking of giving face to Professor Wang. Hence, he kept this matter to himself and did not say anything. However, Professor Wang had become more and more outrageous to the point where even Liu Weishan was scolded by him. Liu Weishan was both amused and enraged by this!

“Wang Benwen, are you finished?!” Liu Weishan quickly stood up and spoke to Professor Wang. “Have you no shame making a scene in a public area?!”

“Ah?” Professor Wang was immediately dumbfounded when he saw Liu Weishan. He was a little baffled. How is it that vice-principal Liu Weishan, the person I’m trying to curry favor with, is suddenly here?

However, Professor Wang recovered from his confusion and became deeply apprehensive as he figured things out. Cold sweat trickled down his forehead! In this room, Liu Weishan was the only one who was the oldest. Obviously, all the others looked like students. Therefore, the godfather that Yang Ming mentioned could only be Liu Weishan…

In that case, my scolding just now was directed to Liu Weishan… How… how could I ever insult the vice-principal? My chances of being the Department Head…

Moreover, forget about being the Department Head, even whether I can continue working as a deputy head is uncertain. Despite possessing many years of experience, I am also old. Although many retired university professors returned back to university to teach and there are no age requirements for the position, he is the vice-principal who was in charge of the university’s teaching. One word from him will impact my job…

“Principal Liu, why are you here…?” Professor Wang looked into Liu Weishan with sweat beading his brow. At this moment, he wished to slap his face twice. How could I simply blurt out insults? Now, I am completely done for. Great!

“My godson invited me for a meal. Why can’t I be here?” Liu Weishan frowned. “As for you, Professor Wang, you just rushed into this private room suddenly and said inexplicable things. What is the meaning of this?”

“Sorry, Principal Liu. I… I started rambling as I was agitated…” Professor Wang was careful not to blame anyone. “But, I was not scolding you. I really had no intention of scolding you!”

“You are not scolding me? What I heard was that you were scolding me!” Liu Weishan coldly sneered. “Professor Wang, as professors of advanced education institutions, the first trait we should possess is to behave respectfully. The second trait is integrity! First of all, you boldly rush into this room and scold without determining right and wrong. You mentioned that you were talking recklessly as you were agitated. Fine, I will not continue pursuing this matter. However, do you have problems with your integrity? You repeatedly insulted Yang Ming’s godfather. Unless there is a second godfather in this room, aren’t you scolding me?”

“This…” Professor Wang was at loss for words. He did not expect that his quibble would make Liu Weishan’s impression of him worse. He deeply regretted it immediately. If I knew that something like this would happen, I would have just confessed my mistakes. That way, I would give the impression of being honest. But now,…

Not only did he not earn Liu Weishan’s forgiveness but it also made Liu Weishn have a worse impression of him. Professor Wang was depressed this time. Looking at Liu Weishan’s exasperated expression, his dream of becoming the department head was shattered! And this was already being optimistic. He would be extremely lucky to keep his position as deputy director…

What is wrong with me today? Why did I do something so irrational?

“Mengyan, there you are. Come and have a seat…” Liu Weishan ignored Professor Wang and waved to the dumbfounded Chen Mengyan who was at the back.

Chen Mengyan had initially considered many ways that Yang Ming could deal with Professor Wang. However, she never thought that Yang Ming would invite Liu Weishan and use him to force Professor Wang to back out!

Of course, if Professor Wang had seen Liu Weishan earlier, he would have backed down immediately. But now that the situation had reached this point, forget about backing down. Whether this matter would be concluded on a happy note was another matter.

“Professor Wang, right? My girlfriend and I invited my godfather for lunch. Why not sit down and join us for lunch?” Yang Ming spoked to Professor Wang after pulling Chen Mengyan to his side with a faint smile. “Since my godfather knows you, then I believe you are indeed Professor Wang. I hope you will forgive me for my previous misdeeds.”

“This…” Professor Wang blushed. Although Yang Ming’s words seemed to be apologetic, it was obviously mocking him. This made Professor Wang ashamed. He lowered his head and felt a little awkward, not knowing what to say.

“Old Wang, I don’t want to criticize you. What you did today is completely outrageous.” Liu Weishan shook his head and was a little disappointed. “By the way, what brings you here today? Why did you come here with Chen Mengyan?”

How could Professor Wang dare to say his true purpose in coming here at this moment? Chen Mengyan was unexpectedly Liu Weishan’s daughter-in-law. No matter how bold he was, he would not dare to match Chen Mengyan to his grandson anymore!

Wouldn’t that be suicidal? Professor Wang was not stupid enough to fight with the child of a vice-principal over a woman. Moreover, judging from Chen Mengyan’s sports car, she was not short of money at all. She will never fall for my miniscule property…

Ai, I really shot myself in the foot! Professor Wang regretted turning a deaf ear to Chen Mengyan’s words. Why did he not believe her and just happily gave up?

“No…nothing… I was just walking around…” said Professor Wang awkwardly.

“Really? Just walking around?” Liu Weishan shook his head. “You are still not telling the truth. Forget it, I have no interest in knowing why you came here. You better reflect on your actions today when you go home…”
