Math professor returns to routine

Chapter 499 Gifts from Friends

It takes about ten to fifteen minutes to walk from the teaching building to the dormitory with the stride and frequency of an average adult.

However, Lu You walked out of the class.

After chatting with Shen Yuyin, grandparents came in seamlessly and took turns to send loving greetings.

When the call was hung up, Lu You felt his entire face was numbed by the wind, just like the old days when the TV screen had snow due to poor signal, rustling.

Lu You rubbed his cheek and sighed to himself.

"From now on, you should answer calls indoors during the winter!"

Not long after, Lu You returned to the dormitory.

I took out the key and opened the door. In addition to Zhang Zhichuang and Bi Yangde, there was an unexpected figure who was busy making the bed.

"Old Palace?"

Gong Qing looked up at Lu You and smiled back.

"Happy New Year, God!"

"Happy New Year." Lu You closed the door with his backhand and asked with a smile, "What time did you arrive?"

"Just ten minutes earlier than you."

Lu You walked to Gong Qing's side and looked at the bed in front of him. The originally empty wooden bed board now had a thick mattress on it, with bedspreads, quilts, and pillows piled up in a mess on top.

"Didn't you say you would return to school on the first day of school? Why are you here today?"

Gong Qing unfolded the bed sheet, found the long and short sides, put it on the mattress, and said casually: "I haven't seen you brothers for a long time. I missed you so much that I bought a plane ticket and came here a day in advance."

"Do you believe what you said?"

"Of course I believe what I say!" Gong Qing grinned.

Under Lu You's gaze, Gong Qing made the bed in no time.

He stood up straight, clapped his hands, and said, "Great God, you came back just in time. I brought a gift for each of my brothers. See if it suits your taste."

Upon hearing that there was a gift, Bi Yangde and Zhang Zhichuang, who were doing their own things in front of their seats, turned around at the same time.

"Oh, come on now, why bring a gift? It's not the first day we've known each other, why are you being so formal!" Zhang Zhichuang said as he came closer impatiently.

Gong Qing came to his desk, opened his schoolbag, took out two long square boxes and handed them to Zhang Zhichuang.

"Here, Hemorrhoids, this is yours."

Zhang Zhichuang took it, looked it over, and asked in confusion, "What is this? Skin care products?"

Gong Qing pointed at his face with his index finger and said, "Facial cleanser, imported, mild in nature, does not irritate the skin, and can effectively control oil and remove acne. Normally, wash once in the morning and evening. If your skin is oily, wash it in the morning, noon, and evening."

"Wow, it really works for me!"

Then, Gong Qing scored again and took out two long boxes, but these were much larger.

"Master, this is a titanium thermos cup. It has antibacterial, corrosion-resistant, acid- and alkali-resistant properties. It is also light and easy to carry and does not easily have odors. You and Laobi each have one."

"Have a heart."

The gifts sent by Gong Qing were tailored to each person's characteristics. Zhang Zhichuang's face breaks out with acne every now and then, while Lu You and Bi Yangde have the habit of exercising. It can be said that they were thoughtful.

Lu You picked up one of the long boxes and asked, "Can I open it and take a look?"

"of course can."

Lu You tore off the plastic wrap, opened the box, and pulled out a silver thermos cup.

Under the light, the pattern looks like it is sprinkled with a layer of gemstone fragments, showing a sparkling texture.

Hmm... Logan would definitely like this thing.

At this time, Zhang Zhichuang came to Lu You and put his hand on his shoulder.

"Brother Lu, look at how sensible Old Gong is. He knows to bring gifts to his brothers when he returns to school to enhance their relationship. Why don't you learn from him?"

Lu You glanced at Zhang Zhichuang, put the thermos cup back into the box, and said, "Didn't I treat you to milk tea? And you drank two cups by yourself."

"What's so great about milk tea? Can you at least give us some local specialties?"

"Aren't you a native of Yangcheng? Haven't you gotten tired of eating Yangcheng food after all these years?"

Zhang Zhichuang was stunned for a moment. He had forgotten that Lu You was from Guangzhou like him.

"I am tired of eating, but Lao Gong and Xiao Bi are not! You have to consider the feelings of the people."

Lu You thought about it and felt that it made some sense.

"Okay! When lychees and longans are on the market in May or June, I'll ask my parents to mail two boxes over."

"Master, are the prices of lychees and longans from your place of origin very cheap?" Bi Yangde asked.

Zhang Zhichuang took over and explained: "It depends on the yield and variety, and also on how much you buy. In years with high yields, prices are generally low. If you buy a lot at one time, the seller will also lower the price appropriately."

"My family has contracted several orchards in western Guangdong. Every year, my parents buy lychees and longans from the orchards. Most of them are given away, and a small part is eaten by ourselves. If you ask me about the price, I can only say that I don't know."

Lu You's words caught Gong Qing's attention.

"Does your orchard accept orders?"

"It doesn't make sense not to do business that comes right to your door."

"My dad and some of his friends who are CEOs love to eat lychees, and they also want to give them to others, so they probably want a lot."

“How much will it cost?”

"A hundred boxes is enough."

"Wait a minute, I'll ask my dad for the contact information of the person in charge of the orchard." Lu You took out his cell phone from his pocket.

"What varieties of lychees do you have?"

"There are quite a lot." Lu You pondered for a moment and said, "I remember eating Gualü, Guiwei, Niumici, and Baitangpeng. There should be other varieties as well, you can ask them yourself."

"it is good."

Bi Yangde and Zhang Zhichuang, who were standing like minions, looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

"Xiao Bi, do you understand?"

Bi Yangde shook his head and replied: "I don't understand. Maybe this is the real way rich kids communicate."

Gong Qing laughed as he listened to their conversation.

"A hundred boxes of lychees would only cost about ten thousand yuan at most, which is not a lot. Is it worth it?"

"A few thousand yuan, that's all?" Zhang Zhichuang dragged Bi Yangde a few steps back, looking as if he was ashamed to be with them. "Tsk tsk tsk, Xiao Bi, these two are rich guys who don't take money seriously. They are not in the same class as us. We won't play with them."

Bi Yangde nodded slightly and said, "A few thousand yuan is indeed not expensive."

"++, it turns out you are the bad guy hiding among the crowd!"

The contact process was smooth.

After Lu You sent the message, Lu Jianyan forwarded the orchard manager's WeChat ID within a minute. Lu You then forwarded it to Gong Qing, and Gong Qing forwarded it to his father.

Thus began a small business.

"By the way, Lao Gong." Lu You put away his phone and asked, "When are you going to go see Professor Xiao?"

"Why should I look for Professor Xiao? Should I invite him for tea?" Gong Qing asked puzzledly.

"You do not know?"

"Know what?" Gong Qing was even more confused.

"You two didn't tell him?" Lu You looked at Bi Yangde and Zhang Zhichuang.

Zhang Zhichuang took the initiative and pointed at Bi Yangde and said, "I thought Xiao Bi said it."

Bi Yangde cast an apologetic look at Gong Qing and said, "I thought you two had said that, too."

"Stop passing the buck here and playing tricks on me! Be direct and tell me what happened!" Gong Qing was so anxious that he wanted to hit someone.

Lu You then said, "It's about the instructor. Professor Xiao wants you to talk to him in person."

When he heard that he had to go, Gong Qing was immediately unhappy and asked, "Why? Didn't I ask you to pass on my message? You didn't tell me?"

"It is precisely because we conveyed the message that Professor Xiao asked you to go in person. No matter what, if you ask someone to do something for you, you have to go in person to show your sincerity, and you can't push it to others." Gong Qing added.

"Tsk, this old Deng is so annoying!"

……

Inside the teaching building.

Watching Tang Wan slip away right before her eyes while she was stuck in the aisle with nothing to do, Yu Zhen was so angry that she gritted her teeth, her delicate face slightly distorted.

After finally running out of the classroom, Tang Wan was no longer visible in the corridor.

"Tang Wan, you can escape from the monk, but can you also escape from the temple?"

Yu Zhen took a deep breath, suppressed her surging emotions, and turned back to the classroom.

On the podium, Song Wu and Qin Que were talking.

"For the next two months or so, Tang Wan will follow you. Time is tight and the task is heavy. Please take care of her for a while."

"Well, I will."

Yu Zhen ignored him and went straight up to interrupt.

"Song Wu! You must explain yourself clearly to me today, otherwise don't even think about leaving this classroom!"

Yu Zhen slammed the table angrily, and the loud noise attracted the attention of people around her.

Song Wu frowned slightly and gave Qin Que a look without any expression.

Qin Que understood what he meant, retreated silently, and dispersed the student union members around him.

Soon, Song Wu, Qin Que and Yu Zhen were the only ones left in the classroom.

Song Wu had a blank expression as always, and asked calmly, "Yu Zhen, are you dissatisfied with the organization's arrangement?"

"Should I be satisfied?" Yu Zhen looked at Song Wu fearlessly, anger gushing out of her eyes, "Tang Wan's position originally belonged to me, why did you give it to her?"

"This is a decision made unanimously after discussion within the organization, and it has also been approved by the school leaders. If you have any objections," Song Wu raised his hand and pointed to the front door of the classroom, "you can go to the school leaders to give feedback. I won't stop you."

"Don't talk official language to me, I don't want to hear it!" Yu Zhen's voice echoed throughout the classroom.

Song Wu remained calm and asked calmly, "What do you want to hear?"

"A valid reason."

"I was late for eight of the ten events, asked someone to take my place twice, was passive and lazy after arriving, didn't do my job and pushed it to others, went out to have fun, left the event before it was over, and many people in the department complained. Are these reasons enough?"

"I'm very busy with my studies and don't have much time. Besides, I'm a girl. Can't you be more tolerant?"

Song Wu's expression, as silent as dead water, fluctuated for a moment.

"Everyone in the department is a student. Who isn't busy studying? Are there not enough girls for the people you push off work for?"

"Then Tang Wan, a freshman who doesn't know many people, can she convince others by sitting in my seat?"

"Better than you can."

The two stopped talking and stared at each other coldly, and the atmosphere became increasingly heavy.

Suddenly, Yu Zhen let out a sarcastic laugh.

"I understand! You probably want to sleep with Tang Wan because she's pretty and has a good figure, so you use your power to get her to your side so you can get the upper hand."

Before Song Wu could react, Qin Que, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help himself.

"Yu Zhen, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! You will be held legally responsible for destroying someone's reputation!"

Yu Zhen sneered again, looking at Qin Que with eyes full of contempt and disdain.

"Qin Que, you are so free! You can be the talker for both brothers at the same time, and you can also check my attendance. It's a pity that you don't go to the Olympics to perform the three-person balance beam with all this energy! But a friendly reminder, green tea will go bad easily if it is brewed too strong. If you play too hard, you won't even have water to wash your feet!"

"You!" Qin Que clenched his fists tightly, his face turning pale and blue.

"You're such a scumbag, how dare you say that to me?" Yu Zhen shook her hair and left without looking back.

The classroom that originally had three people in it now only has two people left.

Qin Que lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Song Wu started packing his schoolbag and prepared to return to the dormitory.

He could feel Qin Que's sadness, but he didn't know how to comfort a girl, and even if he knew, he wouldn't be able to do so.

No position, no reason.

To him, Qin Que was just a classmate in school and a colleague in the workplace.

"Song Wu, I don't raise fish." Qin Que's voice trembled, filled with deep grievance.

Song Wu said "hmm" lightly, then put on his schoolbag and said, "I'm leaving first. Remember to turn off the lights and lock the door when you leave."

Song Wu left as soon as he said he would, without stopping for a moment.

Only Qin Que was left.

……

Song Wu walked alone in the corridor.

With no one around, a different color finally appeared on his unchanging face.

Tired, irritable, and helpless.

"I am so lucky to meet such a beautiful fairy at Capital University!"

"Top-notch fairy? How top-notch is she? Can you tell me?"

A sudden voice came, and Song Wu subconsciously stopped and looked towards the source of the voice.

In the shadows, a figure leaned against the wall.

Song Wu opened his mouth and uttered two words, "Qi Xu."

The figure walked under the light. As the name suggests, he had a sunny and cheerful face, an upright posture, and the upturned corners of his mouth showed his confidence. He had a strong affinity.

"Xiao Wuwu, who made you unhappy? Do you need me to stand up for you?"

Having lived under the same roof with Qi Xu for three years, Song Wu had long developed a resistance to the nickname "Xiao Wuwu".

"Don't even mention it! There are two fronts in the department. The capable one is a complete jerk, while the other one is incompetent and has no self-awareness. He can only recruit a newcomer and force him to do the job. It's really a mess!"

"Hey, every family has its own problems. I have two dogs who don't like each other and can't wait to rip each other's skulls off when they meet!" Qi Xu patted Song Wu on the shoulder and said cheerfully, "Let's go! I'll treat you to a roujiamo, just to calm down!"

"Add an egg."

"Can you add me?"

"Screw you!"
