’Knock, knock, knock--’
Hao Jiale raised her hand and politely knocked a few tis first.
The director’s office on the fifth floor of Building Three was not her uncle’s private office, but a place where many directors and deputy directors gathered to work together. Because of this, there were many more formalities to observe.
"Co in!"
A woman’s low voice ca through, clearly busy with sothing.
’Creak--’ The door opened a small crack.
Hao Jiale walked in first, scanned the office, and finding no sign of Director Hao, her uncle, she said, "Report, Director, I’m here to bring the new student to enroll."
"New student?" The female director adjusted her black-frad glasses and, through the gap, vaguely saw Gu Tong behind Hao Jiale, saying, "There haven’t been any student transfers recently. Are you sure you ant our Academy?"
Gu Tong let out a slightly awkward laugh. Earlier, Hao Jiale had called her junior sister too naturally, so she had accepted it accordingly, almost forgetting that this ti she was reporting not as a student but in a different capacity.
Hao Jiale also turned her head slightly, puzzled as her gaze fell on the docunts in Gu Tong’s hand.
The conversation in the office attracted the attention of others at their desks. Under the gazes of everyone, Gu Tong pulled out a dossier from the folder, unwrapping the white string around it, and extracted a stack of docunts.
"This is my employnt dossier."
The difference between employnt and enrollnt is just a single character, but the anings are worlds apart.
The female director blankly stared at the dossier in front of her, taking a while to co to her senses: "You, you are the teacher assigned by the Academy for battlefield trauma, maxillofacial surgery, and field surgery courses?"
Previously, the director had heard from the principal that a particularly qualified female Baron was being sent by the Academy to teach these three subjects.
These three subjects were not as specialized at the National dical College as they were at the First Royal dical College, so within the Academy, they were always treated as electives, not core subjects.
Although they are still elective now, inviting a professional teacher this ti allows for direct instruction, which could improve teaching quality and disseminate special warti knowledge and experience to students.
The female director rembered the principal’s enthusiastic and joyful deanor when talking about this, showing the delight of welcoming new talent.
However, despite this...
The female director never expected that the teacher would be so young.
"Yes."
Gu Tong replied calmly.
As her words landed, the entire office fell silent, everyone focusing on this woman in her early twenties, unable to connect her with words like "professional" and "experienced."
They all suspected, wondering if there was a mistake...
"You, you are the teacher..." Hao Jiale’s eyes widened, unable to believe that soone about her age was the teacher for three niche subjects at the school...
"Sort of."
Gu Tong pursed her lips and responded, "I have no teaching experience, so I don’t consider myself a teacher."
Female Director: "..."
Other directors in the office: "..."
Listening to those words, it sounded more like being forced into it, raising doubts about its reliability...
The language of Longxing Country is profound and can bear multiple anings in one sentence. While the teachers heard it as an explanation, to Hao Jiale, it sounded awkward and displeasing.
After all, having called her ’junior sister’ all the way here, only to find out she was actually her teacher, anyone would feel deceived.
Hao Jiale bit her lip and said nothing further, taking out the boxed al she brought for Director Hao and placing it on his desk, saying, "This is for Director Hao, please hand it over, Director Ye!" With that, she left directly.
