Gu Nianzhi glanced at He Zhichu quietly, her heart fluttering.
She wasn't someone who didn't know what was good for her. Although He Zhichu had a bad temper, he treated her well and protected her in many ways.
Gu Nianzhi blinked, "Professor He, I couldn't stand it. Didn't I make it up to you today? "
He Zhichu's shimmering, sultry eyes crinkled, his aloof face instantly becoming handsome.
"Gui Suyao is Prime Minister Dou's relative, so we can't let her go for now …" Before He Zhichu could finish, Gu Nianzhi's eyes dimmed and she cut him off, "Professor He, I understand. I won't make things difficult for you. It's enough that you reprimanded Sister Gui today. You don't have to be too strict and make Sister Gui look bad or give Prime Minister Dou face. "
Gu Nianzhi thought He Zhichu was trying to persuade her to keep the peace. After all, Gui Suyao was too powerful …
Prime Minister Dou was one of the three heads of state in the Empire. Even Huo Shaoheng had to salute him when he saw him.
He Zhichu's expression darkened as he said unhappily, "You think I'm asking you to back off?"
Gu Nianzhi's large eyes blinked, her long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, "Isn't that so?"
"Am I that kind of person in your eyes?" He Zhichu had both hands in his trouser pockets, his posture as straight as a pine tree, and he had an unyielding aura.
"Professor He, you've always been a good professor in my eyes. Also, you just came to the Huaxia Empire to open a law firm. It won't be good for business if you're at odds with Prime Minister Dou." Gu Nianzhi turned to walk out of the conference room.
He Zhichu reached out and grabbed Gu Nianzhi's arm, then quickly let her go.
His palm was burning hot, and the place where he held Gu Nianzhi's arm felt like a soldering iron.
Gu Nianzhi rubbed her arm and stopped in her tracks. She looked up at He Zhichu, "Professor He, is there anything else?"
His tone was polite and distant, as if they were strangers.
He Zhichu took a deep breath, as if he was worried that if he didn't speak now, he would never speak again. He quickly said, "Nianzhi, I don't know if anyone taught you that you can't be too absolute when it comes to people and things. The consequence of chasing a dog into a dead end is that you don't know when it will bite you back. Just like Gui Suyao, if I really kick her out this time, she will definitely vent her anger on you. "
Gu Nianzhi stared blankly at He Zhichu, and the feeling in her heart grew even stranger.
He was actually thinking for her, and he was very considerate …
"… Gui Suyao's family background is ordinary, but she has an uncle who is the prime minister, which is very unusual. Of course I don't need to be afraid of him, but what about you? You have Huo Shaoheng, but he's so busy. Will he be by your side all the time? With Prime Minister Dou's abilities and the history between him and Huo Shaoheng, you wouldn't be able to defend yourself if he really wanted to take revenge on you. Are you willing to hide behind Huo Shaoheng for the rest of your life and never see anyone? "
Gu Nianzhi looked at him thoughtfully and began to consider it seriously.
She really didn't want to hide behind Huo Shaoheng for the rest of her life and never see the light of day.
Huo Shaoheng probably didn't need a woman who didn't even dare to show her face in public as his wife.
He Zhichu's words made sense when she thought about it carefully.
If Gui Suyao was really forced into a corner, no one could predict what she would do.
Gu Nianzhi also agreed with He Zhichu. If He Zhichu really kicked Gui Suyao out, Gui Suyao wouldn't hate him, but she would hate Gu Nianzhi to the core.
This was because most people were like this. When faced with someone who was much stronger than them, they would unconsciously surrender and give in. They would only vent their anger on someone weaker than them.
In Gui Suyao and Miao Yunxiao's eyes, Gu Nianzhi was "weaker" and "someone who could be bullied without fear of paying the price."
Of course, they were wrong about themselves, and also wrong about Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi didn't want to be on the lookout for people trying to harm her all the time. Having Miao Yunxiao was enough of a headache, but she could only turn a blind eye to Miao Yunxiao and ignore her. She couldn't just kill her, could she?
The Hua Xia Empire was a legal society, and she was also a law student. She couldn't ignore the law.
Gu Nianzhi nodded regretfully, "I understand. I should be grateful for Professor He's painstaking efforts, but I just can't get over it. Tell me, why do I have to think about it when they treat me like this? Is it really better to be a bad person? Only good people think about the price? "
He Zhichu couldn't help but smile, a flash of a smile on his cool face, "I know how you feel, and I've planned for you."
"Oh? Planned for me? "Gu Nianzhi was suspicious," And then make me feel bad when I see Gui Suyao every day? "
He didn't want to say it, but Gu Nianzhi was too sensitive in front of him. There were already so many misunderstandings in the past, and if he didn't explain it now, it would only increase.
He Zhichu made a decision in an instant. He coughed lightly, his hands still in his trouser pockets, and said dryly, "Have you seen a donkey blindfolded with a carrot hanging in front of its head?"
"I've never seen the real thing, but I've read comics," Gu Nianzhi said honestly.
He Zhichu's smile gradually widened as he stared at Gu Nianzhi, as if he wanted to see the little girl who had been running around with him since she was six years old on her delicate face.
"The donkey smells the carrot in front of it, so it will steadily pull the cart forward. Similarly, for people like Gui Suyao and Prime Minister Dou, you have to let them see that hope is not far away, but you don't have to let them know that that hope is actually a mirage to them. It's something they can see, but can't reach. "
Gu Nianzhi instantly understood that He Zhichu wanted to use his PhD position to keep Gui Suyao in suspense, so she didn't want to give up and couldn't give up.
And as long as Gui Suyao didn't give up on this goal, she would treat Gu Nianzhi well, because this was a prerequisite for He Zhichu to let her stay.
"… The more she wants, the more she'll have to worry about, and the less likely she'll take risks." He Zhichu reached out to tuck a strand of Gu Nianzhi's hair behind her ear, but Gu Nianzhi reflexively took a step back. He had no choice but to withdraw his hand and continue, "At the same time, it'll make Prime Minister Dou hesitate, and keep the hope that he won't fall out with us."
"Professor He, you don't have to explain to me," Gu Nianzhi muttered. "You're the professor, and I'm the student. I'll agree with whatever you decide."
He Zhichu's smile faded. "Don't worry, I won't let her make things difficult for you again. How about this, from now on, you and them will have different classes. You're a master's student, and they're PhD students. It's not good to have classes together. "
"Oh?" Gu Nianzhi looked up again and looked at He Zhichu in confusion. "You want to have separate classes? But I'm only one person … "
Did she have to be treated so well?
He Zhichu was a famous law professor, and he was only giving classes to her?!
This was the rhythm of a private tutor. Just thinking about it made her drunk …
"Don't be too happy yet." He Zhichu resumed his usual cool tone. "My teaching assistant went back to his hometown and won't be coming back. I'm looking for a teaching assistant. In a few days, I'll put up a notice in the faculty looking for teaching assistants. If you're willing, you can apply. "
Gu Nianzhi's eyes widened. "I can be a teaching assistant?! Even a student?! "
"Of course you can. Don't you remember the seniors you met at Harvard in the United States? Master's and PhD students in the United States all work as teaching assistants for their tutors. Many of them even teach undergraduate students. " He Zhichu's voice suddenly became kind and pleasant, and he looked like he was guiding her patiently. "Also, as my teaching assistant, you'll get a monthly salary from the school and an allowance from my teaching budget. That'll add up to at least 20,000 yuan a month."
Gu Nianzhi gulped.
Should she fight for such a good opportunity? How conflicted …
"However, there will be a lot of applicants. If you're willing, then sign up. If not, then forget it. " He Zhichu turned to leave as he said, "Close the door on your way out. Also, I've already sent the comments on your thesis to your email. Revise it according to the comments."
He turned to leave without even looking back.
He Zhichu's evasive attitude made Gu Nianzhi feel slightly more at ease.
She carried her backpack uneasily and left He Zhichu's professor's building to return to her dorm.
He Zhichu was a man of his word. Early the next morning, a piece of news blew up the entire B University Faculty of Law.
Professor He Zhichu, the most popular person at B University, was openly looking for teaching assistants in the Faculty of Law!
