Chapter 29 Clear Heartbeat
Lanjing University.

The meeting room was bright and spacious. There was a chandelier hanging on the ceiling, but it was not turned on. The other lights embedded in the ceiling were on, casting a soft light. The solid wood tables were spliced ​​together to form a rectangle from beginning to end. The slightly classical chairs felt cold and hard to sit on, but the twenty or so seats were all occupied.

Not only that, the school executives who were late came in one after another.

Jiang Ning sat on the left, talking to a teacher from the administration department.

What’s strange is that apart from her, there seemed to be no other professors in the conference room who were mainly responsible for teaching. Most of them were in charge of school management.

Several school directors arrived very early, and only the main seat was empty. This seat was reserved for the vice-president. In addition to the seats near the table, there were many chairs around the walls of the entire conference room, so that at least people who came late had a place to sit. It would be too embarrassing if they had to stand.

Everyone was talking in low voices, and Jiang Ning was not quite sure what to discuss in today's meeting.

But Teacher Qi beside him knew it very clearly.

Normally, the vice-president handles school affairs. The president of Lanzhou University is not an ordinary person. He holds several positions and has very high qualifications. Most of the time, he is so busy that he is rarely seen.

The front door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man who was slightly fat and looked kind and amiable walked in, holding a few documents in his hand. He walked to the conference table with a leisurely pace, pulled out a chair and sat down without hesitation.

This is Vice Principal Zhang.

Everyone stood up to show their respect.

"Ahem..." Principal Zhang cleared his throat, pressed his hand down, and asked everyone to sit down. "I'm sorry to bother you so late. I have to go to Kyoto to attend a seminar tomorrow. It will take at least 20 days, so to make a long story short, I have to arrange the school affairs first, and then I can go there without worry."

Several school directors and senior leaders of the school nodded as if they knew the situation.

"First of all, as a top-ranked university, our Lanzhou University has made achievements in many scientific fields and has produced countless talents. However, in recent days, university professors have abused their power for personal gain and threatened and persecuted their students, which has had a serious impact on the reputation of our university!"

Principal Zhang's voice was serious, causing many administrative teachers around him to feel depressed.

This kind of thing did happen in our school recently. The foreign teacher we hired was of poor character and the matter has been posted on the Internet. It's so ugly!
Landa University has worked hard to maintain its good image over the years.

Because of one bad apple, the whole barrel is spoiled.

How could President Zhang not be angry? Every student who entered Lanzhou University was undoubtedly a leader in the arduous college entrance examination, and they should not be persecuted unfairly.

"Investigate this matter thoroughly, issue a statement, and give a proper explanation to the students and people in society who are concerned about this matter! First, fire the foreign teacher. I'm not criticizing you, but what level of people are you hiring?"

After saying that, he slammed the table angrily.

Teacher Qu Xinfeng next to him trembled violently, he knew that he was being pointed at.

"The second thing is the appointment issue that everyone is concerned about. I will read it directly."

"Teacher Jiang Ning has excellent performance in school, good student evaluation, strong ability and young age. After discussion by the school board, she was appointed as the deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee."

"Teacher Yue Binggui has excellent character, outstanding teaching ability, and sufficient qualifications. He is approved to be transferred to the new research institute."

"Teacher Su Yan..."

After reading out this long list, Principal Zhang picked up the teacup beside him and drank a sip of hot water. The people around him listened silently, with different moods.

Jiang Ning was of course extremely surprised. Her eyes widened the moment she heard her name. Only then did she understand why she was specially called to the meeting today.

As an associate professor at the school, she basically has no other tasks besides teaching. How come she was suddenly appointed as the deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee? She didn't even submit any materials or documents!
But she thought about it again and immediately understood.

Since the school board has discussed it, everything must have been settled. This should be what the family means.

After all, Landa University has very close ties with Jiang Group.

"Third, the school must cooperate with the decisions of the upper-level leaders and take the initiative to develop new plans. You can take these materials and documents and read them yourself. When I go to the seminar, I must convey them to all levels and departments. In recent years, Lanzhou University's voice in the university rankings has gradually weakened and it is no longer as glorious as it was in the past. This has something to do with us!"

The principal, whose surname is Zhang, has a kind face, but he is efficient and decisive in his work.

The meeting was over in less than ten minutes.

With a shout of "Meeting adjourned!", he opened the door and left.

The discussions in the conference room gradually became noisy from then on, and many people came over to congratulate Jiang Ning on her appointment, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Jiang Ning smiled and responded politely to other teachers. She said polite words, but she was not very happy in her heart...

The feeling of being controlled is really uncomfortable. She has been used to it for so many years but still can't get used to it.

……

In the evening, the bleak north wind was blowing, and the students on the playground all had red cheeks from the cold. Even with gloves and scarves, they still couldn't stop the cold wind from seeping into the seams of their clothes.

The lights in each dormitory are bright, and many students have finished their self-study and are rushing to their warm dormitories.

You call me and I shout.

The girls held hands and ran in small steps, while the boys hunched their necks and shivered, running in groups of three or five.

Chen Yuan and his friends just came out of the bathroom of Lan University.

After taking a shower, Chen Yuan felt refreshed. The cool wind blew over him, and the hair that had been lazily lying on his forehead fluttered. Behind him, two love strategists, one playing the good cop and the other playing the bad cop, were educating Quan Yafeng together.

"Just listen to me. From now on, turn over a new leaf and forget about Li Bing. You will meet more attractive female guests in the future."

"But I really like you... Do you understand? I really like you?"

"Don't listen to what the second brother says. He is a dead bachelor. Do as I say and honestly apologize to Li Bing. Don't you know how good a girl she is? She comes from a poor family, works part-time to pay for her studies, is introverted and quiet, and is not vain. You won't find such a good girl even if you search with a lantern."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Hearing Wei Zhen say this, Quan Yafeng nodded vigorously, feeling that it hit the nail on the head.

"Then you have to ask them out before you can apologize, right? Didn't Green Bubble block him?" Chen Yuan turned around and asked.

"Don't worry about it. I've made up my mind. Third brother, give me your phone."

"what?"

Chen Yuan didn't know what was going on, but he still did as he was told and took out his cell phone and handed it over.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Zhen made a series of operations, and the two brothers next to him were dumbfounded.

He found the class group very skillfully, clicked on the green bubble of Li Bing’s best friend, and chose to add her to the address book, with the note "I am Chen Yuan".

"What does this mean?"

"You don't understand. There are at least seven or eight girls in our class who like Chen Yuan. Li Bing's best friend Wu Lanlan is one of them. She asked me about Chen Yuan. It's definitely not a good idea to go and apologize to her rashly. You have to find someone close to her and persuade her first."

"Hey, aren't you asking me to betray my sex?"

Before he could finish, Quan Yafeng came over and covered his mouth.

"Third brother, please lend me your handsome face. Besides, adding your contact information doesn't mean I'm throwing you on someone's bed. You won't lose your innocence."

Chen Yuan looked at the boss's pleading eyes, so sincere.

He could only agree.

"Okay, what should I say then?"

"Of course I'll send you a voice message and tell you..."

After Wei Zhen finished speaking, Chen Yuan stepped back cautiously, "How disgusting! It's too mean to talk like that!"

"You have to squeeze her, squeeze her hard! Use your charming voice to stun her, and use your sincere attitude to impress her. Otherwise, how can you make Wu Lanlan join us?" Wei Zhen clenched his fist and raised his eyebrows.

"That makes sense! Listening to the third brother's voice, I sometimes get stiff." Liu Nan nodded in agreement.

"Hey!" Chen Yuan was startled.

"Third brother, you are the male succubus. Go! Attract her!" A light of hope ignited in Quan Yafeng's eyes.

Wei Zhen was indeed very knowledgeable in this area. After only a moment, under the expectant gazes of the three people, Chen Yuan raised his mobile phone and pressed the voice button.

"Student Wu Lanlan, I'm Chen Yuan. I'm really sorry about what happened tonight. My roommate...if we can have a chance to talk this out, that would be great. If you can help, I'd be very grateful to you."

After sending this one-minute voice message, Chen Yuan felt like he could dig out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes!

Moreover, this trick actually works wonders!

Within a few minutes, Wu Lanlan replied and said that they could discuss it in person.

"That's great, Third Brother! I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow!"

"Then let's go over there quickly, she is still in the study room."

"it is good."

With a goal in mind, they hurried towards the study room.

……

the other side.

"Hello, Teacher Jiang!"

"Teacher, do you want to move things? I'll help you."

"This is the first time I see you at night."

The lights were still on in the spotless corridor. Jiang Ning was carrying a bag and holding a bunch of thick books in her arms. All the students who passed by recognized her and greeted her enthusiastically.

She is very popular in Lanzhou University. It can be said that there is no student who does not know her. Such a beautiful and intellectual teacher can be said to be popular with both men and women. Recently, there are quite a few students who have posted her photos on the forum.

Jiang Ning responded quickly.

"No, I can take this myself. You guys should go back to the dormitory and rest. It's so cold."

"Woo~ Teacher, you are so gentle. I love you even more."

Several girls were almost crazy about Jiang Ning, who was wearing black and high heels.

When these words were spoken, the girls gathered together started laughing and linked their hands, looking extremely shy.

Jiang Ning also smiled, thinking that the female classmates were very cute.

"Then let's go, teacher. You should go home quickly too."

"it is good."

After being appointed as the deputy secretary of the school's Youth League Committee, Jiang Ning naturally had to move some things from her office to her new office, and she would leave soon after she finished moving.

She walked to the elevator alone, and the "ticking" sound echoed in the corridor, which was quite pleasant to the ear.

Almost all the students left, with a few staying in the study room.

It can be said that after the group of female students left, the corridor became quiet instantly.

This... no one helped me press the elevator button.

She could only turn sideways and use the corner of a book to push the elevator button.

hum-

The elevator opened, she walked in, waited for the door to close, and pressed the button for the seventh floor with the book again.

But when the door was about to close, several male classmates suddenly ran over in a hurry. Their footsteps were very chaotic. After pressing the elevator button, they rushed in all at once.

There are four people in total, including Jiang Ning, making five.

The empty elevator suddenly felt crowded.

When the door opened, she looked at several male classmates. As they looked at each other, she could clearly see that they were all stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly bowed their heads to greet them.

"Hello, Teacher Jiang!" the three of them said in unison.

Only one person didn't speak, and he was in a daze for a particularly long time.

When her eyes met his, Jiang Ning was also slightly startled and her body became a little stiff.

"Hello, Teacher Jiang."

"it is good."

Chen Yuan never expected that he would run into Jiang Ning. When they were chatting, she didn't say she would come to school in the evening... But at this time he could only pretend that he didn't know her.

This was an agreement between him and another "Jiang Ning".

The atmosphere was rather awkward, even Quan Yafeng and the others were huddled together, and it seemed awkward for no reason.

Maybe this is what happens when a student meets a teacher.

In the crowd, Chen Yuan and Jiang Ning were only inches apart. If he stepped back a little, he might bump into Jiang Ning. He could only stand there a little awkwardly. It seemed to be a kind of wonderful magnetic field, which sometimes repelled and sometimes attracted each other, and even the flowing air solidified when it took effect.

Jiang Ning wrinkled her nose slightly and she smelled a fragrance.

Looking up, she found that Chen Yuan's hair was a little wet and not blown dry, and thought that he might have just taken a shower.

I sniffed it a few times and it smelled pretty good.

Jiang Ning felt that Chen Yuan was quite tall, and standing in front of her was tall enough to block her entire vision, which made her feel safe.

Then if it is my height and Chen Yuan's height, they are quite compatible... Hey, what are you thinking? !
Jiang Ning lowered her brows and tightened her grip on the book, trying to get rid of the strange thoughts in her mind.

He's already an ex-boyfriend with whom we have no relationship.

Don't have any more illusions.

she told herself.

For a few seconds, the two had different thoughts in their minds.

hum-

The elevator door opened and we reached the fourth floor.

Liu Nan and Quan Yafeng were anxious to find Wu Lanlan, so they stepped out first and quickly ran towards the study room.

However, when Chen Yuan was about to walk out of the elevator.

He suddenly turned around and looked into the eyes of the somewhat confused Jiang Ning.

"Aren't you cold? You're wearing so little."

Chen Yuan stretched out his hand very naturally, bent down to help her tighten her windbreaker, and then carefully and gently buttoned a few buttons for her.

Jiang Ning was stunned, she just stood there blankly without any reaction, she was holding something in her hands and a book in her arms.

She seemed to be controlled by the thing in her hand, or perhaps it was Chen Yuan's action, or a forcible control.

"It won't be so cold this way, dear."

……

The elevator door closes.

When I opened it again, I was already on the seventh floor.

But Jiang Ning stood there, motionless.

She heard her own heartbeat.

Bang...bang...bang.
