After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

"Director Du...?"

When they saw Du Zhongjing walk in with a serious expression, wearing a blue Zhongshan suit and a stuffy demeanor, Liang Peng and his gang of sycophants turned green with fright.

"Director Du, that statement just now had nothing to do with us; we didn't say it!"

The few sycophants sitting behind Chai You'er and Liang Peng shook their heads frantically, quickly distancing themselves from Liang Peng.

If there weren't so few students in the lecture hall, preventing them from even making a chaotic escape, they would have already left this unfortunate Liang Peng here and left.

Liang Peng is completely finished now that he dared to call Director Du brainless.

To talk about loyalty at this point would be truly foolish.

It would be difficult to determine which department head among the medical school's various departments has the strongest medical skills.

But if you ask who has the worst temper, who is the strictest, who is the scariest, who is the fiercest, etc., all the students will choose one person without any doubt.

That was Du Zhongjing, the head of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine!

Director Du's reputation has become legendary within the medical school.

Students majoring in Traditional Chinese Medicine, in particular, are terrified of it and try to avoid it as much as possible.

But today, Liang Peng actually courted death by publicly cursing Du Zhongjing for being out of his mind. They didn't even dare to think about how serious the consequences would be.

In short, you should sever ties with Liang Peng as soon as possible. Since this guy likes to court death, let him die.

This way they'll have one less rival in love, which isn't a bad thing at all.

"Go back and write a self-criticism, a ten-thousand-word one! You'll have to read it aloud to the entire department later!"

To the surprise of the sycophants, Du Zhongjing did not punish Liang Peng severely, nor did he give him a major demerit or probation. Instead, he only made him write a self-criticism, which was obviously abnormal.

However, they soon found out what had happened.

Director Du's attention was diverted elsewhere.

"Why are there only a few students here?"

Du Zhongjing glanced into the tiered classroom, his brows furrowing and his face turning grim.

Upon seeing this, a strange light flashed in Ye Bai's eyes.

Could it be that the low number of students attending class today has nothing to do with Director Du?

Or is it that this old guy's acting skills are truly top-notch, reaching the level of an award-winning actor?

"Reporting to Director Du, reporting to Teacher Ye, I know what happened!"

Chai You'er was naturally lively and quickly accepted the fact that Ye Bai was the new teacher. When she heard Du Zhongjing ask a question, she raised her hand and shouted.

"explain."

Du Zhongjing's words were concise and to the point, exuding an aura of authority without anger.

"The big star Xiang Ziming came to our school for a book signing event at the stadium. Vice Principal Li encouraged everyone who was free to attend, but everyone else had classes. Luckily, Professor Ye's class was an elective, so everyone went..."

Chai You'er quickly and clearly explained the whole story.

"This is utterly ridiculous!"

Upon hearing this, Du Zhongjing's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and he snorted angrily.

Then, Du Zhongjing looked at Ye Bai and said, "Teacher Ye, it's fine if there are fewer people. You can continue with your classes as usual, and I'll go and call everyone back! Ignoring your proper professional classes to support celebrities is just plain stupid!"

"Speak," Du Zhongjing said, turning and leaving, seemingly quite angry.

"This is going to be interesting. Director Du and Vice Principal Li have never gotten along. Director Du always felt that the latter had taken the position that was rightfully his. Will they start tearing each other apart on the spot today?"

After Du Zhongjing left, Chai You'er first secretly went to the corridor by the door to take a look. Only after confirming that he was really gone did she come back and let out a cheer, and started a heated discussion with a group of "survivor" little sycophants.

Ye Bai finally understood what was going on, and for a moment he was both amused and exasperated.

He originally thought that the person who would trip him up was Du Zhongjing, the department head who disliked him very much.

After all, he had embarrassed the other party last time, and it's normal for a narrow-minded person to want revenge.

Unexpectedly, the masterminds behind this were Xiang Ziming and that "Vice Principal Li".

Judging from Du Zhongjing's reaction, the department head was also a victim.

Xiang Ziming and Ye Bai were no strangers; this big star had been in Jingzhou recently, and they had even bumped into each other at the horse farm last time.

It's not surprising that celebrities like to cross over into other fields and publish books to pretend to be cultured.

Although the "fan culture" has been constantly being rectified, it is still a long way from being completely eradicated.

Ye Bai had no idea that not only was the school in such a mess, but that Vice Principal Li, who held a high position, had actually become a pimp!

It's already ridiculous to have a celebrity hold a so-called book signing event at the school, but what's even more ridiculous is that Vice Principal Li personally invited students to attend. This completely shattered Ye Bai's understanding of the world.

However, it's also possible that Vice Principal Li deliberately sought an opportunity to annoy Du Zhongjing, since the two have a long-standing feud.

Fortunately, these matters were not something he, as a teaching assistant, should worry about; they could be left to school leaders like Du Zhongjing to handle.

"By the way, why aren't you guys going?"

Ye Bai looked at Chai You'er with some curiosity.

Although Xiang Ziming is no good, he is extremely well-known and has great charm among women.

This can be seen from the fact that even silly Lulu was completely infatuated with him.

While Chai You'er seems a bit smarter than Shen Lu, her intelligence is probably still limited. And given her age, she's likely a big fan of celebrities.

"I couldn't squeeze in, so I thought I'd better come to class anyway, so I won't have to see it and get annoyed."

Chai You'er snorted twice, looking displeased.

“We accompany You’er to class; we go wherever she goes.”

Liang Peng and his cronies also gave their reasons, speaking in unison as if they had rehearsed it.

"……All right."

Ye Bai had initially thought these were all diligent and studious students, but it was clear that his relief came too soon.

After this little incident, it was time for the formal class to begin. Ye Bai stopped chatting and started lecturing according to his own ideas.

His courses consist of traditional Chinese medicine theory and acupuncture.

These are actually two different courses, but Ye Bai felt that they could be combined and taught together.

He even wanted to add herbalism, since all three are indispensable to traditional Chinese medicine.

A seasoned traditional Chinese medicine doctor might not be able to use other professional terms, but he is absolutely proficient in these three.

Otherwise, they are not qualified to practice medicine.

Of course, those half-baked fake masters are not included.

Unfortunately, allowing him to take on two lessons was already the limit Du Zhongjing could allow; he absolutely refused to take on another one.
