Chapter 1417 - 1417 Class Hour
1417 Class Hour
The secretary did not say anything else when Nalan Chunbo insisted on starting the new system that day. He promised to implement the new system right then, starting with the Department of Physics.
“Secretary Yu, I have something else to deal with so I will be going now. Please do not hesitate to call or email me if you have any questions about the Physics Department,” Nalan Chunbo said and stood up, putting his mug down on the table as he got up from the chair.
The secretary got up from his chair after Nalan Chunbo did and promised that he wouldn’t delay in implementing the system. Although Nalan Chunbo was going to serve as the Head of the Physics Department, it was understandable for someone as prominent as him to be busy.
An announcement was made on the official website of the university after Nalan Chunbo left. The attendance system would be changed to an instant attendance record system from today onwards, and the Head of the Physics Department will lead by example and be the first department to try out the pilot system.
The announcement created an uproar amongst the lecturers and professors. While the ones who had been taking care of their teaching assistants felt happy about the new system, the ones who had been taking advantage of their teaching assistants were upset about it.
For instance...
“What is that announcement on the website about, Mao Cang?” Professor Yin shouted at Mao Cang on the other end of the line.
“I have no idea, Professor. It has just been announced, and Teacher Yu and a few other heads of departments have gone over to the main building for this.”
“Why don’t you go with them now and keep an eye on Wen Shan?”
“What about the class hour, Professor?” asked Mao Cang carefully.
“Are you stupid? Are you asking me whether to record my name when I am not in the university and when Secretary Yu has seen the person teaching the class? Are you trying to get me into trouble?”
Mao Cang dared not say a thing while the professor scolded him, and he already knew what to do when the professor finally finished scolding him and ended the call.
“Who do you think you are?” Mao Cang scoffed after the call ended and went over to the main building to join the rest.
“Are you Teacher Mao?” Nalan Chunbo who was leaning against a tree while fidgeting with his phone asked after Mao Cang ended the call.
“Who are you?” Mao Cang turned to look at the man when he heard someone call his name, and asked curiously when he saw the man leaning against the tree.
“If,” answered Nalan Chunbo.
“Head... Head of Department?” Mao Cang stammered, his face turning pale in shock.
“Are you having any classes today, Teacher Mao?” asked Nalan Chunbo as he walked up to Mao Cang after putting his phone away.
“No, no,” said Mao Cang quickly, then said again when he remembered something, “but I am in the middle of something.”
“So you are quite busy?” asked Nalan Chunbo emotionlessly while staring at Mao Cang’s phone.
“Not... not really,” answered Mao Cang weakly. His heart began to race when he saw what Nalan Chunbo was staring at.
“Great. I am new here and am not quite familiar with the Physics Department. Mind telling me a little about it?” While Nalan Chubo’s tone was polite, it was obvious that he would not take no for an answer.
Mao Cang hesitated but choosing between a professor and the head of department was not a difficult decision to make.
Nalan Chunbo smiled when he managed to stall Mao Cang and save Wen Shan’s class hour.
The syllabus for the first year of a degree was nothing difficult for Wen Shan and although she attended the class unhappily, she taught the students the best way she could knowing that the students knew nothing about what Professor Yin was doing.
After the two-hour class, Wen Shan left the classroom and signed in to Professor Yin’s profile to record the attendance.
How ridiculous! How reluctant she was to record his name for attendance!
Sadly, she wasn’t given a choice.
