Chapter 450: Isn’t This What You Were Hoping For?

As Fu Mingxue rode her bicycle past the house next door, she couldn’t help but take a second look.

’This house needs to be taken care of, even if it’s empty!’

’Otherwise, houses can fall into disrepair easily.’

’So, how can I make my ownership of this house official?’

’With my current salary and bonuses—even including the rewards from those factories—it’s not enough to buy another courtyard house!’

’After some thought... no, I really can’t rush this.’

’But maybe I can hire someone to clean it?’

’Tsk. Having too many houses has its own troubles.’

’Still, it’s a problem I’m happy to have. I hope the system gives me plenty more "problems" like this.’

Fu Mingxue rode her bicycle to the entrance of Beijing University.

"Who are you looking for?" A security guard from the school stopped her.

Fu Mingxue remembered the work ID the university had issued her last time.

So, she pulled it out of her pocket.

The man took it and looked—his eyes widened in surprise. Then he looked at Fu Mingxue suspiciously.

"Are you really a teacher?"

"Doesn’t this ID prove it?"

Just as Fu Mingxue finished speaking, another man walked out of the guardhouse. He was a bit shocked when he saw Fu Mingxue.

He immediately pulled his colleague aside.

"This is our university’s Teacher Fu. Let her in, quickly."

Then he greeted Fu Mingxue, "Teacher Fu, you’re back to teach!"

Fu Mingxue nodded. "Mm."

Seeing the gate open, she pushed her bicycle inside.

After she left, the guard who had stopped her couldn’t help but ask, "Master Li, is that person really a teacher? How can she be so young?"

Old Li shot him a glance. "Xiao Zhao, it seems you’re still too young. When someone has real ability, they can be a teacher anywhere. Don’t stop her next time. She’s incredibly capable!"

Xiao Zhao: ...?

’She looks a year or two younger than the university students, yet she’s a teacher? I’ve really seen it all now.’

Fu Mingxue first went to Director Zheng’s office.

She knocked on the door—

"Come in," Director Zheng’s voice came from inside.

Fu Mingxue immediately pushed the door open and went in.

Unexpectedly, not only was Director Zheng in the office, but Principal Wu was there as well.

"Principal Wu, Director Zheng!"

Her call drew the gazes of the two men, who were in the middle of a discussion.

When Principal Wu saw it was Fu Mingxue, his eyes filled with pleasant surprise.

"Teacher Fu, you’re finally here! I was just talking to Director Zheng about when you’d arrive! Speak of the devil."

Fu Mingxue said, "I just arrived this morning. So I came over this afternoon to check in."

Principal Wu immediately said, "It’s great that you’re here! By the way, you just got back today. Don’t you need to rest?"

"I came to look at the class schedule. If we can get that sorted out, I can start teaching tomorrow."

Hearing this, Director Zheng said, "I figured you’d arrive today, so the class schedule is already done. I’ll show it to you. If there are no issues, you can start teaching tomorrow."

"Not even letting Teacher Fu rest for a day?"

As soon as Principal Wu said this, Director Zheng rolled his eyes. "Don’t be so hypocritical!"

’Wasn’t he the one who wished Fu Mingxue could stay at the university for the whole semester?’

’Didn’t he come looking for me today just to ask when Fu Mingxue would arrive?’

Principal Wu: ...??

’Don’t I get to save face?’

Fu Mingxue stepped forward and took the class schedule from Director Zheng.

She glanced at it and nodded. "This is fine. I’ll come in tomorrow, then."

Director Zheng said, "The books are in your office. You can go take a look yourself."
