2. Spring cold material (2)
At the end of February, the weather in Jiangcheng was cloudy and unstable. Yesterday it was still warm and warm, but this morning it was dull and gloomy, and there was still a gloom in the sky, and the thick ink and color were like it, and it couldn't be dissolved.
Bai Shutong went out early in the morning, and when the cold wind blew, he couldn't help but tighten the windbreaker on his body. It looks like there will be no sun today, and it will rain for a while.
Bai Shutong raised his watch and looked at the time, it was already a quarter past eight o'clock. Yesterday, Shao Yuanguang instructed her to arrive at her post on time. On the first day, she didn't dare to slack off, so she gave up the idea of going home to get an umbrella and walked straight to the Faculty of Science.
Fortunately, her home was not far from Jiangcheng University, so she hurried all the way and finally arrived at the gate of the School of Science at eight o'clock.
Bai Shutong climbed from the first floor to the fourth floor in one breath, and pushed open the office door with a sigh. When he entered the house, Shao Yuanguang had already arrived, and it seemed that he had already entered the working state, and his ten fingers were flying frequently on the keyboard of the notebook.
"Teacher Shao is early." Bai Shutong's breath has not been evenly adjusted, but he did not forget to say hello to him.
Shao Yuanguang listened but didn't pay much attention to it, he only glanced at her, and then retracted his gaze, the movements of his hands did not stop at all, and he did not say a word from beginning to end.
Bai Shutong touched a soft nail, couldn't help but flatten his mouth, put down his schoolbag and went to Zhang Luo for morning tea.
She does a set of processes for morning tea almost every day, and she is already familiar with the road. Wash the cup, boil the water, and when the water boils, she turned out the fruit tea, and the fruit tea must come to a piece of homemade handmade cookies, when drinking tea and eating snacks, you can't think half-heartedly about work, entertainment gossip is a good accompaniment, you can taste it slowly, so that the three together to maximize the pleasure of the body and mind.
When Bai Shutong was reveling in his own world, the sound of the man on the opposite side tapping on the keyboard stopped abruptly, and there was silence in the room, which broke the balance that had been maintained for a long time.
Shao Yuanguang finished replying to the email at hand, raised his watch to look at the time, and said, "Forty minutes." β
With his voice, Bai Shutong's enjoyment suddenly stopped.
Forty minutes?
She frowned, not understanding what Shao Yuanguang was talking about.
She had a confused expression on her face that she didn't understand her words, Shao Yuanguang shook his head helplessly, and closed his laptop: "I remember telling you yesterday that I want you to arrive at work on time." β
Bai Shutong nodded, just because she remembered clearly, so when she entered the door, she deliberately confirmed the time, eight o'clock, no more than no less.
Bai Shutong swallowed the remaining cookies in his mouth, and was just about to open his mouth to ask, Shao Yuanguang had already gotten up and spoke first: "I don't care what other people's punctuality means, my punctuality means entering the work state at eight o'clock." β
Bai Shutong was stunned when he heard this, and when he reacted, he couldn't help but be speechless, such punctuality was unheard of. She wanted to argue, but when she saw Shao Yuanguang's indifferent face, Bai Shutong was still silent, and said "oh" and stopped talking.
It's pointless to argue, and Shao Yuanguang's dictionary is not the same as someone else's, so she may not be able to compete with this big professor.
Bai Shutong's response was quite well-behaved, Shao Yuanguang seemed to be satisfied, and looked at her as if complimentingly, and his gaze slowly slipped to her desktop.
His gaze sometimes makes people feel cold, and sometimes it makes people feel nervous.
Bai Shutong lowered his head in accordance with his gaze and subconsciously checked his desktop. Today is her first day in this office, and the desktop looks fairly neat, with nothing but a computer and a simple pen and paper.
The fly in the ointment is the cookie crumbs spilled in front of the keyboard, which seems to be a bit of an eyesore.
Bai Shutong blinked, feeling that it was not a thing, and reached out to stroke it like a self-deception, and bounced the debris off, as if nothing happened.
The desktop was refreshed, Bai Shutong looked up at Shao Yuanguang, and there was a little fearlessness in his rare eyes. seems to be asking Shao Yuanguang: What else do you have to advise?
Her eyes are big, and she can catch the slightest expression of expression clearly.
Shao Yuanguang chuckled lightly, raised his chin, and pointed directly at the half cup of flower and fruit tea that she had just brewed in her hand. "Don't put this mess on your desk in the future." As he spoke, he glanced at the pantry table in the doorway, signaling to her that it was where the mess would be.
A big mess? In this boring office environment, facing boring Wen JiΓ n every day, and now facing cold colleagues, if it weren't for these messy things, Bai Shutong wouldn't know where his spiritual sustenance could be.
She frowned and looked at Shao Yuanguang, full of displeasure, and before she could say anything about bargaining, she was interrupted again by Shao Yuanguang.
He didn't leave her the slightest room to complain or respite, and said as if giving an order: "Come with me to a meeting." β-
According to the past practice, Bai Shutong can not participate in the regular meeting of the college. She is not a formal teacher of the college, so she has no obligation to teach, and she does not have to bother to do scientific research, and participating is also a waste of time.
It's just that this time Shao Yuanguang asked her to follow, and she didn't refute it. In addition to obeying orders, Bai Shutong had no other choice.
Bai Shutong studied at Jiangcheng University for both bachelor's and master's degrees, and stayed on as a researcher after graduation. Shao Yuanguang is different, his status in the academic world is there, and the teachers in the academy, regardless of age, take the initiative to say hello when they see him, and the treatment of the two is in stark contrast.
However, this kind of treatment did not make Shao Yuanguang feel a little, in the face of this enthusiasm, he still nodded lightly, did not say anything, and walked straight to the table and sat down.
The teacher of Jiang University was naturally not accustomed to Shao Yuanguang's official style, and he couldn't help but look at his back. Bai Shutong was helpless, smiled awkwardly and said hello to the teachers, hesitated slightly, and finally walked over and sat down next to Shao Yuanguang.
The transfer application has been approved, after all, she is his assistant, and her position still has to be found.
Bai Shutong sat down beside Shao Yuanguang and glanced at him. He looked out the window, his gaze was calm, his expression was normal, and he didn't react in any way.
Although her position as a research assistant has been confirmed, she and Shao Yuanguang are far from familiar, and on Valentine's Day night, they only had contact with each other two or three times in total, and each time the process was not very pleasant.
The days to come are still long, and Bai Shutong has the heart to improve the relationship. She hesitated for a moment and was about to speak, Shao Yuanguang suddenly moved, as if he noticed something, or it was just an unintentional coincidence, he opened his laptop, called up the Word interface and began to work as if no one was around.
Bai Shutong inadvertently touched his nose again, and helplessly lowered his eyes, but happened to see Shao Yuanguang's fingers. His fingers are slender and beautiful, with well-defined bones, and his fingertips move quickly and agilely, and his hands are constantly flying on the keyboard, which is quite noticeable.
Bai Shutong looked at the hands, silently kept silent, stared at them for a long time, and carefully moved his gaze up a little along the hands.
Not only the hands, but Shao Yuanguang's side face is also very eye-catching. His lips are thin, his jaw is thin, and the curves of his side face are sharp but not stiff, accentuated by the dull light and shadow of the hazy weather. This kind of profundity, coupled with the calm and introverted atmosphere exuded by his whole person, inevitably makes people stay away, but at the same time, it tickles people's hearts, and they can't help but sprout some curiosity.
Became famous at a young age, handsome and chic.
It is a miracle that these two rare evaluations are gathered together on Shao Yuanguang at the same time, but he is such an unpredictable character, but everyone will always have some curiosity.
Bai Shutong looked at Shao Yuanguang, immersed in his delicate facial features and restrained temperament, and was a little carried away for a while.
Shao Yuanguang probably noticed something, his eyes drifted over for no reason, and he directly met Bai Shutong's peeping gaze.
This glance was without warning, and when the four eyes met, Bai Shutong hurriedly dodged his gaze when he saw this, pretended to look at the empty conference table opposite, and then took it back in a few seconds, lowering his head and staring at the blank notebook in front of him in a daze.
Her gaze wandered, and her fair skin turned crimson after a while, spreading from her cheeks to the roots of her ears.
Shao Yuanguang seemed to remember something, and quietly hooked the corners of his lips, and after a while, the paused typing sound sounded again-
Bai Shutong sat with his head bored for a while, only to feel that his heartbeat was fast and slow, and he was quite tormented. Finally, when it was the hour, the regular meeting officially began. The dean cleared his throat into the microphone and began to speak.
Dean Zheng Guozhong is a typical middle-aged scholar, a bit bureaucratic and a bit pretentious. Although he has been ordered by the ear for more than three years, Bai Shutong still can't help but feel sleepy when he hears his official tone. She covered her mouth with her hand and yawned secretly, and just when she was drowsy, Zheng Guozhong changed his words and began to talk about the talent introduction of the college this semester.
"Mr. Shao is a leader in our psychology department, needless to say, the paper is taken out, and it is influential in the world......
When Mr. Shao came from B University, we were introduced according to the titles of professor and doctoral supervisor, and in terms of age, we had already broken the record of Jiangcheng University. β
When Lao Zheng said what he was excited about, he couldn't help but have a red light on his face and foam at the mouth. On the other hand, Shao Yuanguang had already closed the computer and sat quietly with his arms in his arms, as if he had nothing to do with the person in Lao Zheng's mouth.
"In two months, the college plans to hold a national academic conference." After Lao Zheng finished speaking, his eyes looked at Shao Yuanguang eagerly, "Teacher Shao is here, we can't drop the price, and strive to be a first-class domestic and international leading conference." So this time, Mr. Shao paid more attention. Zheng Guozhong said in the end, for the sake of face, he reluctantly mentioned the issue of resources, "Jiang University's finances are tight, but if Mr. Shao has a request for resources, he can also raise it, and I will try my best to meet it." β
This is Zheng Guozhong's consistent official tone, Bai Shutong is no longer surprised, saying that he is as satisfied as possible, but in the end it is all gone.
Shao Yuanguang had no objection when he heard it, and when he mentioned the resource requirements, he only groaned slightly, his eyes swept Bai Shutong beside him, and said: "I don't have any requirements for the time being, just let Xiaobai cooperate in the early stage." β
Shao Yuanguang's implication seems to be that "domestic first-class and internationally leading" things should be taken for granted. But Bai Shutong knows that Jiang University's psychology ranking in China is at most an upper-middle position. As a professor of psychology and dean of the School of Science, Zheng Guozhong is naturally blindly optimistic, thinking that Shao Yuanguang can change the situation of the School of Science, but in fact, this idea is somewhat unrealistic and naΓ―ve.
Shao Yuanguang didn't mention the matter of funding, Zheng Guozhong was surprised and felt that this person was still good, so he hurriedly agreed: "Okay, good." He agreed and glanced at Bai Shutong.
Xu is because she is her own student, Zheng Guozhong is not so polite when he speaks, and said bluntly: "Xiaobai will help Teacher Shao share more in the future, and I want to become Teacher Shao's strong backing......"
Bai Shutong was tired of listening to these scenes, and subconsciously nodded frequently. But after carefully recalling Zheng Guozhong's words, how she thinks and thinks that such a role can be boiled down to three words - virtuous help.
Thinking of the meaning behind these three words, Bai Shutong couldn't help but be shocked, and her face turned red, but she couldn't control her eyes, and unconsciously glanced at Shao Yuanguang beside her.
Shao Yuanguang was also looking at her at this time, his expression was calm, his eyes were indifferent, like a waveless lake, which made people a little intoxicated.
The two looked at each other, Bai Shutong was stunned for a moment, suddenly realized, and hurriedly turned his head.
