1428 The Pain Was Unbearable!
Before Wen Shan could finish eating, her professor summoned her again. He now wanted her to go to a hotel to buy food for him, pay for it in advance, and keep the receipt.
This meant that Wen Shan would only be able to retrieve her money if the university was willing to reimburse the money spent on food for her professor.
He was such a cheapskate!
Wen Shan ended the call and looked at Le Tian who blinked at her. “How can such a shameless person exist?”
“Worst part is there’s nothing you can do about it,” Le Tian laughed cynically. “What are you waiting for? Bring enough cash with you as the food sold at that place is super expensive. Judging from the fact that he can eat a meal meant for two people on his own, five hundred RMB could be insufficient.”
“Why is this kind of person even alive?” Wen Shan exclaimed angrily, put down the chopsticks, and stood up immediately.
Le Tian followed Wen Shan out. She wanted to see who the new dean was. If the new dean was not around, she would return home.
Wen Shan and Le Tian exited their university. Since it was cla.s.s time, not many people could be seen at the entrance.
Le Tian got on a bus while Wen Shan went to the hotel to get food for Professor Yin.
While waiting for the food, Wen Shan played with her phone since she did not bring her bag.
It was unbelievable for a meal to cost more than five hundred RMB. To make things worse, the professor even wanted his own student to pay using their own money. The mere thought of it made Wen Shan furious, and she wondered just how many students were previously victimized by him.
Wen Shan snapped a picture of the receipt and sent it to Xiao Yaojing.
The message attached to it read: ‘I’m furious! Why is there a sc.u.mbag like this among the professors? Did all his previous teaching a.s.sistants share the same fate as me?’
Wen Shan had sent the message but received no reply from Xiao Yaojing. There was a possibility that Xiao Yaojing’s phone had been confiscated again.
Wen Shan sat down at a table and rested her chin on her hand while waiting for them to prepare the food.
Nalan Chunbo was driving past the hotel when he saw Wen Shan seated inside. After some thought, he parked his car by the roadside and got down from it to enter the hotel.
“Why are you here?” Nalan Chunbo asked as he came up from behind Wen Shan. He saw a receipt on the table and frowned.
Wen Shan stood up abruptly to turn her back on him but ended up hitting the corner of the table. It hurt so much that Wen Shan gasped loudly.
When Nalan Chunbo reached out to help her, she staggered back, pressing a hand to her waist.
Nalan Chunbo’s hand remained outstretched when Wen Shan avoided him. Her heart ached at the sight of him.
His fingers curled into a fist and he slowly pulled his hand back.
“I…I am helping someone buy food,” Wen Shan said as she rubbed her waist, trying to get rid of the pain.
That man was still standing there, so she dared not sit down.
When Nalan Chunbo saw Wen Shan forcing herself to be strong, he wanted to ask if she needed any help because he was certain that Professor Yin was making her life difficult again.
However, Nalan Chunbo realised that his presence seemed to be Wen Shan’s biggest burden.
“Miss Wen, your takeaway is ready,” said a waiter as he arrived with the food.
Wen Shan immediately felt relieved. Ignoring the pain in her waist, she grabbed the food and hurried off.
Nalan Chunbo looked down at the receipt on the table, then looked outside at the young lady who was running off with one hand on her waist.
Was he that scary?
Nalan Chunbo laughed bitterly, took the receipt from the table, and left the hotel lobby.
She would need this, he thought.
