"Nianzhi, Nianzhi! Get up, get up! "Ma Qiqi pounded on Gu Nianzhi's door excitedly." Big news! Big news! Breaking news! It might be the biggest news of the century! "
Gu Nianzhi didn't have class today. She had gone to the library to edit her thesis after leaving He Zhichu's place and didn't return until 7pm.
Her brain had been working intensely all day and she was tired. She took a shower and fell asleep.
When Ma Qiqi woke her up, she realized it was already 9am.
She had slept for a full 12 hours.
Gu Nianzhi sat up in bed and spaced out for a while before removing the blankets and getting out of bed. She put on the silk and cotton nightgown she wore in the room and opened the door.
Ma Qiqi's raised hand froze in mid-air. She froze when she saw Gu Nianzhi just waking up. Then she burst out laughing. "Nianzhi! You actually slept in! "
Gu Nianzhi ran her hand through her hair and smiled lazily. "I don't have class today, so I wanted to sleep a bit more. What happened? You almost made a hole in my door. "
"You're exaggerating." Ma Qiqi looked at the door. "Where's the hole?" She glanced at Gu Nianzhi with a giggle. "Don't change the subject. I just saw the big news: the arrogant Professor He Zhichu is openly recruiting teaching assistants from the Faculty of Law!"
Gu Nianzhi's heart skipped a beat. She thought to herself that He Zhichu was really quick to act …
He had only told her yesterday that he would announce the news in a few days, and now it was out today.
"Is he really recruiting from the entire faculty?" Gu Nianzhi asked in confusion. "Where's the news?"
"Here, see for yourself." Ma Qiqi handed her iPad over. "This is our department's app. Look at the important news that's being pushed!"
Gu Nianzhi looked down to take Ma Qiqi's iPad and read it carefully.
He Zhichu's recruitment announcement was very simple. He said he was looking for a teaching assistant and planned to choose from the Faculty of Law. Anyone from undergrad to doctoral students could apply. The requirements were simple: outstanding ability, good conduct, and at least three recommendation letters from different people. Then, after applying, they had to pass a test he personally set.
If chosen, he would be a teaching assistant for three years with a good salary.
Gu Nianzhi looked at the shiny iPad with a complicated expression before returning it to Ma Qiqi. "Do you want to sign up?"
"Of course! You know, it's always good to have a dream. What if we meet a ghost?! " Ma Qiqi giggled. She had already opened the registration page on the homepage of the Faculty of Law. She entered her student email address to register.
Every student in B University had their own unique student email box. It was used to receive official emails and communicate with professors and mentors.
Just like their identity authentication.
To register on campus, one only needed to log in to their student email account.
"Nianzhi, you register too." Ma Qiqi pulled her arm and placed her on the iPad. "Hurry up and enter it!"
Gu Nianzhi was still a little hesitant. He Zhichu had a strange temper and was very temperamental. She was already his master's student. If she became his teaching assistant, she would have to spend most of her time with He Zhichu.
When Ma Qiqi saw that Gu Nianzhi didn't sign up right away, her eyebrows shot up to the sky.
"Nianzhi, why are you so stubborn that you have to make life difficult for yourself?" She tried to persuade her. "Are you going to give up such a good opportunity?"
Yes, it was indeed a very good opportunity. Not only would she have a generous salary as a teaching assistant, but she would also be able to add a strong line to her resume in the future.
He Zhichu's name was equally useful in the Huaxia and American legal circles.
With his name on her resume, it would be much easier to find a job in the future.
Also, she could learn a lot by following him as his teaching assistant.
Her eyes darted around as she made a decision. "Ok, I'll register."
"That's right!" Ma Qiqi patted her shoulder with satisfaction. "Let's make it clear that whoever gets this position has to treat the other person to a meal!"
"It's a deal!" Gu Nianzhi extended her hand and clapped it three times with Ma Qiqi. It was settled.
In just a short while, Gu Nianzhi went back to the website to register again. She discovered that she had already become the 402nd person to register.
The entire B University Faculty of Law had about 600 undergraduates, masters, and doctoral students. So two-thirds of them had already signed up to compete for He Zhichu's teaching assistant position.
"Look, this is what it means to be popular! This is what it means to have hundreds responding to a single call! This is what it means to have real ability! "Ma Qiqi clicked her tongue from the side." This is even more intense than choosing a principal! "
Gu Nianzhi became nervous again when she saw so many people signing up.
Could she compete with these people?
"I think everyone who is suitable has signed up. Even people who aren't suitable have signed up." Ma Qiqi looked at the email of the people signing up. "Look, I know this person. She's a senior this year and will graduate in the summer. She actually came to compete for a teaching assistant. Look, Professor He clearly said that if she can be a teaching assistant for three years, she will graduate immediately. She didn't even take the postgraduate entrance exam. Isn't that bullshit?! Chinese people should really change this bad habit of joining in on the fun. "
Gu Nianzhi laughed at her words. "You're always complaining. Ok, ok, go get ready. I need to wash my face and brush my teeth, and take a shower."
She pushed Ma Qiqi out and closed the door before going to the bathroom to fill up the water for a shower.
He Zhichu was in his study looking at the list of applicants that kept popping up on his computer. After waiting for a long time, Gu Nianzhi's name finally appeared. He tapped her name twice with his pen before closing the application page to indicate the end of the application period. He then went to prepare for the exam.
After Gui Suyao returned home dejectedly, she cried to her mother about what had happened at school. She didn't dare tell the truth and only said that she had unintentionally offended Professor He and might not be able to be his doctoral student anymore. Also, she had offended her previous supervisor so badly that they wouldn't accept her even if she wanted to transfer back now.
What was she going to do?
Gui Suyao felt like the sky was falling on her.
Her bright future had been ruined because of Gu Nianzhi.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Her initial fear slowly turned into self-reproach, and then into hatred for Gu Nianzhi.
Just as she was about to fight to the death with Gu Nianzhi, her mother called her uncle, Prime Minister Dou's official residence.
Of course, they didn't have the chance to speak to Prime Minister Dou right away and could only leave a message for the operator.
Prime Minister Dou was considerate towards the mother and daughter and called them right after he finished work.
When he found out about Gui Suyao's experience, Prime Minister Dou also felt that He Zhichu was making a mountain out of a molehill.
He had only forgotten to pass on the message. Was there a need to fire him?
…
In the afternoon, He Zhichu received a call from Prime Minister Dou himself.
"Lawyer He, I heard that my niece has been naughty recently. Did she make you angry?" Prime Minister Dou chuckled and looked like a nice person trying to smooth things over. "She's really bad. I've already scolded her and asked her to apologize to you. Oh, she can even write a self-reflection. Just calm down and don't take offense at a child's level."
He Zhichu was slightly amused as he replied dryly, "Your naughty niece is 26 years old this year. I never knew a 26-year-old was still a child."
Prime Minister Dou let out a hearty laugh. "Lawyer He, you're so funny. Fine, I can't win against you. Let Little Gui apologize to Lawyer He. She'll do whatever you want her to do and won't dare to disobey. "
He Zhichu smiled but didn't say anything. Prime Minister Dou begged for a long time and even pulled some strings for He Zhichu's Sovereign Descent Law Firm, promising him several large government contracts. He Zhichu finally said reluctantly, "Since Prime Minister Dou is so sincere, I appreciate it. How about this, Gui Suyao can come back for now and we'll see what happens next. "
What he meant was that if Gui Suyao did anything wrong, she wouldn't have another chance.
Prime Minister Dou only wanted He Zhichu to accept Gui Suyao, so he agreed to his conditions without hesitation.
As soon as he put down the phone, the door to the study was pushed open. His youngest daughter, Dou Aiyan, rushed in and said excitedly, "Dad! Professor He is hiring a teaching assistant! Can you please write a recommendation letter for me?! "
