Math professor returns to routine

Chapter 501 Tang Paopao

Qin Que handed Tang Wan a folder and said, "Take a look at it yourself first."

Tang Wan reached out to take it, opened it and looked through it.

The folder contained several pages of information distributed by the school. The content roughly stated that in late March, a foreign Nobel Prize winner in economics would come to Capital University to give a speech on the topic of artificial intelligence, which has been very popular in recent years.

Nobel Prize winner in economics?

Tang Wan was slightly moved.

Accounting and economics are closely related. Both focus on resource allocation, economic theory guides accounting practice, and accounting data is the basis of economic research.

The two are inseparable, you in me and I in you.

"Does the school want our student union to receive this big shot?"

"That's a nice thought!" Qin Que poked Tang Wan's forehead twice and said with a smile, "This Nobel Prize winner has his own leaders to entertain him, so why would it be our turn as free laborers? The school's current mission for us is publicity."

"Promotion?" Tang Wan immediately thought of three directions: hanging banners, posting posters and promoting on public accounts.

"Any ideas?"

Tang Wan nodded and said truthfully, "I have some clues, but not much."

"Then the task is up to you?"

"Me?" Tang Wan pointed at herself and said incredulously, "Is it really okay to give such an important task to a newcomer?"

"It's important, but this mission is not difficult in nature. A newcomer can complete it." Qin Que picked up a mug and took a sip of hot water. "And you don't have to worry. You can't do this mission alone. I will be watching from the side and help you when appropriate."

Tang Wan thought for a moment, then said with a firm look in her eyes, "Okay, I'll take the mission."

In the next two hours, Qin Que introduced Tang Wan to the main members of the department, let Tang Wan show her face, and explained his daily work to Tang Wan.

After all this, Tang Wan came to a conclusion.

Qin Que's work can be said to be very idle, or very busy.

Because Qin Que's main job is to accept tasks from above and coordinate the distribution of tasks to the lower levels, she can stay out of the specific tasks and be a hands-off manager, leaving everything to the lower members. On the contrary, she can also intervene in everything, put forward her own needs and opinions, and even do things herself.

However, considering that she had seen Qin Que less than five times in his previous position last semester, Tang Wan felt that Qin Que was mostly a hands-off manager.

Another possibility is that the original position was too boring and there was not much to do.

It's approaching ten o'clock.

Members of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs left one after another, leaving only Song Wu, Tang Wan and Qin Que.

Song Wu put away his computer, put on his schoolbag and stood up.

The movement caught Qin Que's attention.

"Are you leaving?"

Song Wu glanced at Qin Que and replied simply.

"Qi Xu invited me to have supper. Do you want to join us?"

"You eat, I lose weight."

Qin Que would not agree, and Tang Wan would not agree either.

Apart from unavoidable social engagements, which normal person would be willing to have dinner with their boss?

It was just a casual and polite inquiry, and Song Wu didn't expect the two to agree.

"Remember to turn off the lights before you leave."

After saying that, Song Wu walked away without stopping.

"Senior, who is Qi Xu?" Tang Wan asked curiously.

As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Que's eyes when he looked at Tang Wan suddenly became strange.

"Don't tell me you don't know the president of our student union."

"I recognize the person, but I don't remember his name." Tang Wan said honestly.

"You bastard!" Qin Que poked Tang Wan with his index finger, hitting her squarely between the eyebrows. "As a member of the student union, you don't even remember the president's name. How can you be ashamed?"

"Why are you embarrassed?" Tang Wan tilted her head and asked, "I was originally a marginal figure, a potato buried in the ground. If the minister hadn't dug me out with a Luoyang shovel, I would have never had anything to do with the president of the student union."

Qin Que had nothing to refute and felt very upset, so he wanted to pinch Tang Wan's face to vent his anger.

Logan leaned back to avoid it, covering her face with her hands and taking a defensive stance.

"Don't pinch my face. Pinching my face is my boyfriend's privilege."

"Women are also protected?"

"Coincidentally, a woman confessed to me before."

Qin Que looked at Tang Wan quietly for a few seconds, and when he saw that she did not look like she was lying, he withdrew his hand.

"I'll give you your second task. In one week, remember all the people in this department, as well as the ministers and deputy ministers of other departments. I'll conduct a random check next Monday."

"Ah~ Can I refuse?"

"Don't act like a spoiled child. I'm not your boyfriend."

Tang Wan curled her lips, looking reluctant.

"So, what is our president's name?"

“Qi Xu, Qi means neat and orderly, Xu means rising sun.”

A little after ten o'clock.

The two turned off the lights, left the office, and headed for the stairs.

"Would you like to have a midnight snack later? There's a stall selling seaweed wontons in the cafeteria, and they taste great." Qin Que asked.

"Didn't you say you wanted to lose weight?"

"How can you lose weight if you don't eat enough?"

Tang Wan was going to refuse, but then she changed her mind.

Isn't this a good time to get closer?

Once the relationship is close, can't you find out gossip indirectly?

"Please lead the way, Senior."

The two men walked to the corner of the stairs and met an unexpected person.

She leaned her back against the wall, folded her arms, tapped her elbows with her index fingers, and looked gloomy and irritated.

Qin Que's eyes turned cold instantly.

"Yu Zhen."

Tang Wan also frowned, recalling some bad memories.

"You didn't come when the department was full, and now everyone has left, what are you still doing here?" Qin Que asked.

Yu Zhen sneered and asked, "You own the school? I can go wherever I want, what's your business?"

Qin Que clenched his fists and his body trembled slightly.

"Are you here to quarrel?"

"I came to see you in the snow in the middle of winter? I really deserve it!"

Yu Zhen left the wall she was leaning against, ignored Qin Que's presence, walked up to Tang Wan, and smiled like a flower.

"Schoolgirl, do you still recognize me?"

Although the smile seemed beautiful and gentle, Logan felt nauseous.

There is a world of difference between pretended politeness and false kindness.

No matter how much she rejected it in her heart, Tang Wan did not slack off in her appearance and still acted like a humble junior.

"Good evening, Senior Yu Zhen."

"Talk to me for a few minutes?"

……

Tang Wan sat in the chair, bored.

At this moment, a cup of coffee fell in front of me, steaming hot.

"A drink for you."

"Thank you, Senior Yu Zhen."

Don't hit a smiling person. Before Yu Zhen shows her hostility, Tang Wan will not take the initiative to attack and maintain basic courtesy.

Yu Zhen sat opposite Tang Wan, crossed his legs, and took a sip of his coffee.

Tang Wan looked at Yu Zhen cautiously.

As I recall, when the two met for the first time, Yu Zhen had a ponytail and wore glasses, and her image was similar to Qin Que.

Now, the ponytail has been replaced with shoulder-length hair, which has been dyed, and the glasses are gone.

Yu Zhen touched her long hair and asked with a smile: "It's your first day at a new job, you're not used to it, right?"

Tang Wan held the coffee in both hands, blew away the heat gently, and her thoughts turned.

It is really troublesome to talk to someone you are not familiar with and who has bad intentions. It is difficult to find out the other person's true intentions.

"The first time is new, the second time is familiar. It is normal to feel uncomfortable when you first start a new job. It is just like cooking. It takes a long time to cook from raw to cooked. You will get used to it after a few times."

Tang Wan paused for a second or two, then added, "Senior Sister Qin Que is very kind and patient. With her help, I can adapt faster."

"Qin Que? She's a good person?" Yu Zhen sneered. "Why is she good? Is it good that she can attract men to do her bidding with just a wave of her hand? Or do you want to learn her technique of seducing men?"

How could Tang Wan not understand such a direct and hostile statement?

Qin Que and Yu Zhen are sworn enemies.

Tang Wan rubbed the paper cup with her thumb and said in a gentle tone, "Listen to both sides and you will be enlightened. Listen to only one side and you will be confused. Compared to unconfirmed rumors, I believe more in what I see with my own eyes and hear with my own ears."

Yu Zhen's smile gradually disappeared, and her eyes gradually became colder. The previously friendly atmosphere between the two of them also became cold and subtle.

"Logan, do you know that the seat you are sitting in now is mine?"

Tang Wan blinked her bright eyes, put down the coffee in her hand, then stood up and bowed deeply under Yu Zhen's puzzled gaze.

"I'm so sorry, Senior Yu Zhen! I didn't see a name on the chair when I sat on it, and I thought it was a public facility that anyone could sit on. I didn't expect it was yours. I'm really sorry, I'm giving it back to you now!"

After saying that, Tang Wan respectfully pushed the chair over.

Yu Zhen's face looked extremely ugly, as if someone had forced a mouthful of feces into her mouth.

"you are at……"

Yu Zhen was interrupted by Tang Wan halfway through her words.

"Senior Yu Zhen, let's stop here today! It's getting late, and Senior Qin Que is still waiting for me. I'll leave first and we'll talk again when we have time!"

By the time Zhen reacted and stood up to chase her, Tang Wan had already run five meters away.

"Next time I will prepare my own chair, and I won't let this happen again!"

"Logan, stop right there!"

Yu Zhen's angry shouting had no effect, but instead made Tang Wan run faster.

"Silly bird, I won't listen to you!"

Tang Wan moved her legs quickly and went downstairs as fast as a high school student rushing to the cafeteria after class.

Run all the way to the first floor.

Qin Que, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, saw Tang Wan running towards him in a hurry and asked immediately, "Why are you running so fast?"

"No need to explain, just get in the car!"

Qin Que was dragged away by Tang Wan in a daze.

Outside the office building.

The snow had stopped by then, but the wind was still blowing.

There was snow on the road, so the two men didn't dare to run and could only walk quickly.

Only after she had walked a hundred meters and looked back to see no one chasing her did Tang Wan slow down her pace and calm her breathing to calm her heartbeat.

"I was so scared, luckily I ran fast!"

Qin Que had less to do to go downstairs, so he was slightly better off than Tang Wan and his breathing was relatively steady.

"What happened? Did Yu Zhen fight with you and you beat her up?"

Tang Wan rolled her eyes and said speechlessly, "Do I look like I'm good at fighting?"

"So that was a quarrel?"

"Almost. As soon as I felt that she wanted to quarrel, I immediately made an excuse and ran away."

Qin Que couldn't hold it in and said with a smile: "It seems that you are afraid of quarreling?"

"Of course I'm afraid!" Tang Wan said frankly, "People with different ideologies cannot work together. When two people with different worldviews quarrel, it's like a chicken talking to a duck. Whoever has a louder voice, a thicker skin, and a stronger lung capacity will win, and even if they win, there will be no good result."

"Why didn't it end well? It's so satisfying to see the opponent lose the fight!"

"What if you meet someone who can't stand losing and carries a weapon? Or what if you meet a revenge-themed protagonist who is always in a bad mood?"

"You think too much!"

Tang Wan shook her head and said, "A gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall, and a little girl like me will not put myself in danger. If there is even a 1% chance of threatening my life, I will not take the gamble."

"But if you can run away once, can you run away a second time?"

Tang Wan raised two fingers and said, "Counting the one-day meeting, this is the second time."

"What about the third time?"

"I have to ask you, Senior, you are still the department head. You pushed me to the position before you cleaned up the mess. What does that mean? Are you using me as a shield?"

Qin Que was silent for a moment, then said apologetically, "I'm sorry, we didn't handle it well. I'll discuss it with Song Wu later and try to resolve it as soon as possible."

"It would be better if it wasn't just a perfunctory show for me. At worst, I'll just quit!"
