Chapter 54: Headmaster Andorf
Entering the gate of the Mechanical College was smooth, because Dong Chen had the guarantee of the Longxing Chamber of Commerce, which was given by the old man Mehaya before, and there was the logo of the Longxing Chamber of Commerce on it, as well as Mehya's signature and private seal.
As a large transportation and trade chamber of commerce in Black Rock City, this bit of face is still enough for Dong Chen to directly enter this semi-enclosed mechanical academy.
Moreover, Dong Chen's purpose is still to send a letter, and the recipient is still "Andorf", which may involve the cooperation between the Longxing Chamber of Commerce and the academy, and he does not dare to stop a doorman.
Dong Chen couldn't care about this, he had already entered the school gate, so he went directly to find Adolf according to the instructions of the doorman, but the doorman said that the teacher Andolph should be in a meeting, so he might have to wait outside for a while.
When I came to the door of the school's conference room, I saw that the door of the conference room was closed, and I could hear some voices talking inside, but I couldn't hear what was being said.
There happened to be a row of chairs outside to provide rest, and a young short-haired human woman was sitting there, so Dong Chen walked over and asked in a low voice, "Hello, may I ask, is Mr. Andover in a meeting?" ”
When Dong Chen came over, Doro-Thea saw him, at first she just thought this person was very strange, but now when she saw him approaching and asked such a sentence, she was even more strange.
Because she was Andorf's assistant.
Frowning, Doro-Thea asked in a serious manner, "Who are you?" Why look for an Andorf principal? ”
"Headmaster?" Dong Chen's face was colonized, "Isn't it a teacher?" ”
"Principal Andorf just likes to be called a teacher, but in fact he is the head of the academy."
"I'm Assistant to Headmaster Andorf, and he's really in a meeting, so what can you tell me?"
Seeing that Dong Chen had a tender face, although the hairstyle (no) was a little strange, but the look on his face full of doubts did not look like a bad person, so Doro-Thea explained.
Now Dong Chen understood, looking at this person who was still staring at him, Dong Chen explained, "That's the case, I'm from the Boulder Tribe of the Horror Forest, my name is Dong Chen, and the Great Elder of the Barbarian Clan there wants me to come and visit Elder Andolph...... Principal, and also asked me to bring a letter. ”
Dong Chen took out the letter written by the Great Elder to Andorf from his small bag, "That's it, the Great Elder and Principal Andorf are good friends, you know?" ”
"Of course, as the principal's assistant, I naturally know some of his personal relationships."
Doro-Thea carefully looked at the handwriting on the letter handed over by Dong Chen, and then doubled her fingers to confirm with the handwriting, "That's right, this is the handwriting of the Great Elder of the Barbarian Tribe, the former assistant had already told me when I handled the handover a month ago." ”
"Then that's fine, you can confirm my identity, right?" Dong Chen put the letter away and asked.
"No problem," Doro-Thea smiled at this time, and her tone was no longer wary of strangers, "Mr. Dong Chen, my name is Doro-Thea, and the principal's meeting will go on for a while, so I can only trouble you to wait here for a while." ”
"Okay, thank you, Assistant Doro." Dong Chen sat down politely.
"Yikes!"
Hearing Dong Chen call himself like this, Doro-Xia hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Dong Chen, you don't need to use my surname to call me, I'm just an assistant, and we are about the same age, just call me Xia assistant by my first name." ”
Doro-Thea's surprise directly startled Dong Chen, he thought he had stepped on the other party's foot, but he didn't expect it to be just a matter of title.
I recalled some of the books I read, and it seemed that I said that the surname is respectful, but I didn't expect such a difference in practical application.
"Okay, Assistant Thea, listen to you."
Dong Chen is very good now, especially when the locals know more about the problem than himself.
Mr. Mehya, who has been called before, "Mehya" is his name, because of the relationship between the Great Elder, so he directly asked Dong Chen to call him by his name, and then added a "Mr. " after it.
Otherwise, a 20-year-old boy calls a 70-year-old man, and he must be honored by his surname.
Now just taking advantage of this opportunity, Dong Chen happened to chat with this Xia assistant to actually understand some common sense issues.
And considering that Dong Chen came from the Boulder tribe in the depths of the Terror Forest, some of the common sense questions he learned were indeed biased, so Xia also answered them for Dong Chen one by one.
In the chat, Dong Chen also learned some things about Xia Ya's assistant.
For example, she is a young girl who has just graduated from college, only 25 years old, and just came to the senior college last month to work as an assistant to the president, because his grandfather and Andorf were friends.
Sure enough, there are people who are easy to do.
However, her grandfather asked her to study more with her old friends, and she probably didn't know what kind of important position "assistant principal" was.
After a while, they heard the door of the conference room being opened and many people walking.
"The meeting is over, Mr. Dong Chen," Xia quickly stood up and said to Dong Chen, "follow me." ”
"Okay."
Following Xia Ya two steps, Dong Chen caught up with an old man in a gray robe.
He is not short, almost 1.8 meters tall, his long gray hair is draped over his shoulders, almost integrated with the same long gray beard, and he has a pair of glasses with round lenses on the bridge of his nose, which feels very learned.
"Mr. Andorf, the meeting is going well, right?" Shia, who caught up with him, asked with a smile, and then took the initiative to pick up some of the papers he was holding.
Seeing that it was his little assistant, Andorf's face that was still flat just now immediately showed a smile, "It's going well, little Thea, it's been almost a month since you came here, are you used to your work?" ”
"I'm used to it, Mr. Andorf, and the teachers at the school take good care of me." Xia said happily holding the file.
"That's good, if you're not happy with me, your grandfather's old guy might come to me to duel with me again, haha."
Seeing Andolph and Xia talking and laughing, Dong Chen didn't feel the "seriousness" that the Great Elder and Mehya had repeatedly reminded.
Originally, he planned to follow them to the office to talk about it later, but after Xia said a few words, he led the topic to Dong Chen.
"Mr. Andorf, let me introduce you to a person who has something to do with you."
As he spoke, he turned his head and beckoned to Dong Chen, who was following behind, and asked him to come next to him.
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Andorf glanced at Dong Chen, but didn't say anything to Dong Chen, but turned his head to look at Xia with strange eyes and said, "Little Xia, this can't be your little boyfriend, right?" ”
"Your grandfather has told me many times in his letters, saying that you have a boyfriend on the college campus, let me pay attention to you usually, you won't really bring it to me, right?"
"Oh, Grandpa Andorf, what do you say? Don't listen to my grandfather's nonsense, I don't have a boyfriend at all! ”
Andorf's words directly fried Xia Ya's question, and his face turned red instantly.
And inexplicably lying down Dong Chen's can only: "??? ”
I've just arrived in Blackstone......
What about the image of a serious and stereotypical scholar?
After the Great Elder didn't leave the forest, what happened to this old friend of his?
