Chapter 109 - 103 County Magistrate Chai
Zhao Hanzhang originally didn’t plan to meet the County Magistrate of Shangcai County any time soon. First, she was still in mourning, and second, she hadn’t yet established herself in Shangcai.
However, the County Magistrate specially sent an invitation to them—not to them, but to Fu Tinghan, so she had no choice but to go out and meet him.
Previously in the library, people only mentioned that Professor Fu from the mathematics department was very handsome, taught excellently, and was gentle and polite. But it wasn’t until she got here that she realized that "gentle and polite" could also mean distant and aloof.
This Professor Fu seemed indifferent to everything. If someone talked to him, he would respond politely; if no one talked to him, he could stay by himself all day and wouldn’t initiate conversations.
With such a personality, even if someone bullied him, he probably wouldn’t mind, so Zhao Hanzhang felt she couldn’t let Professor Fu go alone; she had to accompany him.
Moreover, this estate was hers, and the County Magistrate visiting at this time was likely because they had been aggressively recruiting lately.
Fu Tinghan sat in the carriage, eyes lowered in thought, his fingers drawing on his knee—one couldn’t tell what he was calculating.
Zhao Hanzhang watched him, supporting her chin with her hand, recalling the young man she’d seen at the city gate—his face had clear, defined features and an aura of cool detachment, but back then, there was a hint of panic on it.
Things she hadn’t thought of before, upon reflection now, seemed to have clues.
Fu Tinghan worked out the formula he wanted and, after memorizing it, looked up, meeting Zhao Hanzhang’s gaze.
