Chapter 345: Sitting on Pins and Needles
"Principal Mao..."
When Xiao Yifei approached Mao Yan, he had barely started speaking when Mao Yan immediately interrupted him.
"Teacher Xiao, if you have any instructions, just say the word, and I’ll definitely follow through! Don’t blame me for not recognizing Mount Tai earlier; I was looking down on you with the eyes of a blind dog!"
Before Xiao Yifei could say much more, the previously arrogant and presumptuous Mao Yan instantly belittled himself, leaving Xiao Yifei momentarily stunned and somewhat embarrassed.
"You don’t need to be like this. I just wanted to ask you about the internship. I am bringing a few classes from the Clinical Medical College to Shangjing People’s University for their internship. Does the school have any objections? Nothing inappropriate, I hope, since you are the principal of our college, and I really ought to consult with you on this matter."
Mao Yan, hearing Xiao Yifei’s words, shivered as if struck by a jolt of electricity. His eyes widened as he stared at Xiao Yifei, now realizing that he was truly like a clown performing before Xiao Yifei who didn’t take him seriously at all!
Nevertheless, even so, Mao Yan did not dare to be arrogant in front of Xiao Yifei anymore. Bending over, with a forced smile on his face, he said: "Teacher Xiao, you’re too polite. What principal? I’m just a minor vice-principal. Not worth mentioning at all!"
After Mao Yan shakily finished his sentence, he cautiously turned his head and forced a respectful smile towards the goddess-like Nangong Yun standing beside Xiao Yifei. Having initially entertained the thought of working at Shangjing People’s Hospital, with today’s events, he had completely abandoned that idea; he did not wish to be humiliated again, yet Mao Yan still didn’t want to leave a bad impression on Nangong Yun.
