1447 Could That Little Twerp Be in Trouble?

Sometimes, the ones that were not picky with their food were the most difficult to satisfy.

Le Tian helpfully suggested sweet and sour pineapple pork, fried meat with oyster mushrooms, and chilled cucumber.

Nalan Chunbo tried to memorize all of the dishes. He picked the ingredients, thanked her, and ended the phone call.

After buying the ingredients from the mall, Nalan Chunbo made his way back to the university. At that moment, Wen Shan had already left for breakfast. She was out eating with Ding Junhui.

It's not as if they went on a date, it was just a coincidence that they met there. Ding Junhui was going to lecture at noon so he had gone there for lunch while Wen Shan had gone there to have her breakfast.

Wen Shan was talking to Ding Junhui about her journal while gobbling down her food. Suddenly, Mao Cang arrived and sat down next to them.

"Oi, Teacher Ding, Sister, let's eat together!" Mao Cang sucked in his tummy and sat next to Ding Junhui. The way he spoke was so rude that Wen Shan and Ding Junhui felt disgusted.

Wen Shan rolled her eyes discreetly and continued to eat her breakfast.

"Teacher Mao didn't see us?" Ding Junhui laughed coldly.

Mao Cang's facial expression changed slightly but he wasn't angry. "Teacher Ding, I heard that you'll be appointed as an assistant lecturer soon?"

"You just heard? I thought the whole university knew by now," Ding Junhui replied monotonously while eating his lunch.

Mao Cang's features twisted in anger and he said, "Teacher Ding, I'm not trying to criticize but you should at least reevaluate yourself. Don't get cocky just because you were nominated."

Wen Shan lifted her head and stared directly as Mao Cang's fat and oily face. "Older Brother, those words are wise indeed, but they are more suitable for Older Brother instead."

"What did you just say?" Mao Cang, who had just been schooled by his junior, glared at her.

Wen Shan wasn't afraid of him since he was nothing but a useless lackey to her.

"Dear Brother, I thought you only had bad eyesight. Could it be that even your hearing has gone bad too?" Wen Shan asked sweetly as she put her chopsticks down. "Teacher Ding, I am full so I shall take my leave now."

Ding Junhui nodded as Mao Cang stood up furiously. His fat belly knocked the table and spilled the bowl of soup on it.

"Wen Shan, don't you walk away!" Mao Cang shouted, face red in anger.

"Teacher Mao, what are you doing?" Ding Junhui stood up smoothly and blocked Wen Shan from his view. "This is a public area, don't make a scene."

"This is between our faculty members, what does it have to do with you?" Mao Cang sneered as he pushed Ding Junhui aside and walked towards Wen Shan.

Wen Shan was not afraid of him. Mao Cang was a man who was always afraid that Ding Junhui would snatch his chance of being promoted to assistant lecturer. The problem was that the university only nominated a certain number of candidates for that position and the nominations were not equally divided among the faculties.

That is why the words that Wen Shan spoke were so offensive to him, and why he was furious.

Nalan Chunbo had just arrived at the university after buying the ingredients. Right then, he heard news of two lecturers and an assistant fighting in the canteen. They were now in the management office being questioned.

Lecturers? Assistant?

Nalan Chunbo slowed his car down. Now that he thought about it, the first person who came to mind when he heard 'assistant' was Wen Shan.

Could that little twerp be in trouble?

"It was a well-known fact that the physics department hamster and the mathematics department Teacher Ding were not on good terms. The unexpected thing was that they actually fought today because of a physics department student."

"Those two were aiming to be assistant professors, so wouldn't this be a problem? It was said that the physics student once taught in the university and now she's an assistant lecturer. Even the physics department is helping Teacher Ding. That hamster's personality is just as ugly as his face."

Teacher Ding?

Nalan Chunbo immediately turned his steering wheel and changed the direction of his car.
