Chapter 338: Yan Feng as a Teaching Assistant

Director Zheng immediately said, "No problem. Just let me know when you’re ready. Oh, and I’ll assign you a teaching assistant. You can have him handle the other tasks."

Fu Mingxue: ...?

’A teaching assistant? Isn’t my role basically that of a teaching assistant already? And now they’re assigning one to *me*?’

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

Fu Mingxue looked over.

’Isn’t that Senior Yan, the guy from the start of the semester?’

Yan Feng froze for a moment when he saw Fu Mingxue.

A look of pleasant surprise immediately filled his eyes. "Junior Sister Fu, I didn’t expect to see you here."

"Senior Yan." Fu Mingxue also gave him a slight nod.

’Clearly, he was the teaching assistant Director Zheng had mentioned.’

Yan Feng was even more delighted to hear her address him.

"I can’t believe Junior Sister Fu actually remembers me."

Director Zheng said irritably, "Mingxue has a photographic memory. Of course she remembers you, even if you’ve only met once."

"Alright, this isn’t the time for chitchat. Mingxue has been specially appointed as an instructor at our university. She will be teaching for two weeks, and during that time, you will be her teaching assistant."

Yan Feng: ...?

’Wait, what did I just hear?’

’Junior Sister Fu is a specially appointed instructor?’

’And I’m here to be *her* teaching assistant?’

’Oh my god, is Junior Sister Fu really that incredible?’

He turned to look at Director Zheng and saw that the man wasn’t joking at all.

Seeing him just staring blankly, Director Zheng frowned. "What, you don’t want to? If you don’t want to—" Before he could even say he’d find someone else...

Yan Feng snapped back to his senses.

He nodded eagerly. "Yes, I’ll do it! I’d love to be the TA. I’d especially love to be Junior Sister Fu’s—no, Teacher Fu’s teaching assistant."

Seeing his reaction, Fu Mingxue’s mouth gave an almost imperceptible twitch.

"Since you’ve accepted, make sure you cooperate fully with Mingxue. Alright, the next class is Magnetics. You can take her over when it’s time."

The current class period had already started, so he would schedule her for the next one.

He turned to Fu Mingxue. "I’ve arranged a private office for you, it’s just next door. I’ll take you to see it now."

Fu Mingxue nodded. "Alright."

’At this point, all I can do is accept.’

’After all, I was planning on spending this time at the university anyway.’

’The only difference is that this will be a lot more draining, mentally and vocally.’

The three of them went next door.

"Wasn’t this office occupied before?" Fu Mingxue asked.

"It was, but they’ve been moved to another office." What Director Zheng didn’t say was that this office had been cleared out specifically for Fu Mingxue.

As soon as she had successfully developed the JJF-15 engine—a full six months ahead of schedule—he had planned on having her teach the students when she came back to campus for her exams.

After all, her grasp of both theory and practical application was exceptionally strong.

She had already surpassed him.

"This bookshelf has books for every subject. Take a look for yourself."

Fu Mingxue glanced around the room and nodded. "Alright, I will."

"Good. I’ll let you prepare, then. I’m heading out." Director Zheng turned and walked straight out.

Yan Feng: ...?

’Wait, Director Zheng just left? What am I supposed to do now?’

’Won’t people start gossiping if they see a man and woman alone in here together?’

Mustering his courage, he asked, "So, uh, Teacher Fu... what should I do now?"

Fu Mingxue felt a headache coming on as well.

’After all, I’ve always preferred to handle things myself.’

"You can start by sorting the books for the next class. After that, go to Director Zheng and get the class roster for the math department. Oh, and organize the math department’s books while you’re at it."

Yan Feng was stunned again. "The ma-mathematics department?"
