Chapter 332: Isn’t This Ridiculous?

Director Zheng had originally planned to let her go by herself, but on second thought, he decided he should go along too.

This way, he could also listen in.

"I’ll go with you."

Fu Mingxue was fine with that.

"Oh, right, you didn’t bring your book, did you? I’ll grab one here for you—"

"No need, I have my own." When the semester started, Fu Mingxue hadn’t gone to pick up her books initially, but she did come to get them later.

"Alright then, let’s go."

Director Zheng also picked up his book and led the way out.

Fu Mingxue followed him out.

The two of them walked through the winding, labyrinthine corridor.

Then, they arrived at a classroom.

"This is it. You’ve been here once before, right?"

"Yes, I have." Fu Mingxue had been to the classroom before, but at that time, there were only a few people in the class.

She hadn’t had the chance to greet them then.

"Let’s go in."

Director Zheng went in first.

The moment he entered, everyone put down their books.

Then, they saw an exceptionally beautiful young woman follow Director Zheng inside.

She was several times more beautiful than the recognized campus belle.

Of course, three of them recognized Fu Mingxue—they had seen her back when the semester had just started.

They knew she was the classmate who had only shown up once and had never appeared in class since.

The reason they still remembered her was simply because the young woman was just too beautiful.

The kind of face that was impossible to forget after just one look.

"Alright, let me introduce everyone. This is Fu Mingxue. For the next few days, Fu Mingxue will be teaching my class. If you have any questions you don’t understand, or any difficult problems you can’t solve, you can ask Fu Mingxue."

"Oh, and you can call her Teacher Fu."

As soon as Director Zheng said this, it immediately caused an uproar in the class.

Everyone was stunned—letting this overly young woman lecture them?

’Was Director Zheng joking with them?’

’What on earth was going on?’

’Or was this... Director Zheng pulling strings to burnish this girl’s credentials?’

’What was her background?’

Those able to study in this class were all the type who were especially eager for knowledge.

Hearing that Director Zheng’s own class was being pushed aside for this woman, many of them instantly became disgruntled.

’Isn’t this just absurd?’

’Director Zheng’s class was canceled—what time did they have to play along with her games?’

Someone couldn’t help but speak up, "Director Zheng, our study time is also very precious. You can’t waste everyone’s time for some personal reason!"

Since someone had dared to speak out, the others grew a bit bolder.

"Exactly! Director Zheng, it’s almost the end of the semester, we don’t even have enough study time as it is! How can you let her take your place and lecture us?"

"What are you all getting so worked up about? Do you even know who she is? She’s from the Research Institute! She is more than qualified to teach you."

...

The voices of opposition and dissatisfaction grew more and more numerous.

Their time was also precious; they had no desire to be used as a stepping stone for someone to burnish their credentials.

Director Zheng was not surprised by their reaction.

He swept his gaze across the crowd.

"Quiet."

When he spoke that single word, the entire classroom instantly fell silent.

Director Zheng spoke again, "What are you all so anxious about? Do you even know who she is? She’s from the Research Institute; she is more than qualified to teach you. Forget everything else—if you have any difficult problems you can’t solve right now, you can ask Teacher Fu."

He turned his head. "Fu Mingxue, come on up."

Fu Mingxue hadn’t said a word until now.

Now, hearing Director Zheng call her to the lectern, she walked over with poise and grace.

The moment she stood at the lectern, there wasn’t the slightest hint of timidity about her. Her gaze swept across the entire class with complete composure.

"My name is Fu Mingxue. I will be lecturing here for a total of eight days. Therefore, time is precious. Any of you who aren’t convinced can just hold it in."
