Chapter 1038 - 791: Leg_2
The girl in the pencil skirt responded coldly, "I haven’t seen him. I basically stopped coming to school since my senior year."
After saying that, she shifted her gaze away and looked down at her phone. The topic was over for her.
The girl with the round glasses was a bit stumped and couldn’t ask further.
It seemed like the topic had come to an end as well.
As time went by, the chairs in the classroom became increasingly filled.
After about ten more minutes, a man in his thirties walked in through the front door of the classroom, wearing a dark blue polo shirt and holding a roster.
"Everyone, settle down, settle down," the polo-shirt-wearing teacher said loudly with a smile.
He actually didn’t need to emphasize this. When he walked in, the students naturally lowered their volume.
"Let me introduce myself. My last name is Zhang, and I am responsible for managing all the graduate students in our college."
Teacher Zhang glanced around the classroom, "Is everyone here?"
"I think... almost?" a boy in the front row said uncertainly.
"Then let’s call the roll first." Teacher Zhang glanced at his roster.
With each name called, there was a corresponding "here" from the students below.
The girl with the round glasses was also constantly watching the door, expecting a figure to appear.
But the roll call ended quickly.
The group of girls near the girl with round glasses showed disappointed expressions.
"Hmm, everyone’s here. Then let’s officially start our meeting." Teacher Zhang nodded with satisfaction, "Today, there aren’t any major things, mainly..."
"Teacher!"
Suddenly, a voice rose from below.
The girl in the pencil skirt suddenly raised her hand.
"Teacher. Is there a classmate named Nan Zhubin in our class? It seems like I didn’t see him."
The girl with the round glasses was stunned.
According to the social atmosphere just now, shouldn’t this question have been asked by them?
"Nan Zhubin..." Teacher Zhang’s expression suddenly became odd.
"Ah, him, his mentor assigned him to work on a project, so you might not see him much this semester."
"But this student... Classmate Bao, right? That was a very timely reminder! Nan Zhubin’s situation is a bit special, so if there are any academic issues afterward, everyone could help each other out. If anyone wants to learn any project experience, you should also exchange ideas more..."
"In our graduate stage, situations like this might happen often in the future. You’ll probably prioritize participating in work assigned by mentors. Of course, Nan Zhubin’s situation is still relatively rare..."
The classroom was quiet for about three breaths of time.
Then, murmurs started to emerge from different corners.
——————
About an hour and a half before this meeting started.
A black SUV slowly came to a stop at the entrance of a hospital-like place.
"Senior, we’re here. Where is everyone gathering?"
Mo Kai turned off the engine, rubbed his eyes, and looked through the windshield at the gray-white buildings not far away, his expression somewhat complex.
"Thanks for rushing this early morning class with me," Nan Zhubin said. Compared to Mo Kai, he seemed full of energy.
"You should head back. It seems like there’s also a class meetup this morning."
Mo Kai’s major for recommendation was Applied Psychology, in the same class as Nan Zhubin.
However, Mo Kai wasn’t in a hurry to return to school. Under Nan Zhubin’s curious gaze, Mo Kai opened the door and got out, skillfully handed a box of red cigarettes to the security booth, and exchanged a few words.
After returning, he looked at Nan Zhubin with a complex expression.
"Senior," Mo Kai said sincerely, "How about you tell Teacher Bai and let me do an internship here as well?"
"I really want to gain some experience in a hospital!"
For Mo Kai, a young person eager to learn, the "patients" in the hospital, compared to the "visitors" in a typical psychological consultation room, were significantly different.
Nan Zhubin paused momentarily while unbuckling his seatbelt.
"You tell him," he said.
"I did. He said that because I got the recommendation pathway, I missed the national exam preparation process, so my professional foundation is not very solid. I should focus on learning in the first year..."
With Mo Kai’s background, it’s not impossible to find connections to intern at the hospital.
But within the school, if Bai Qinghua does not sign the permission slip, nothing can be done.
"I have no say in this. On this matter, you need to follow the teacher’s instructions."
Mo Kai showed reluctance to leave.
After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly closed the door and through the car window looked at Nan Zhubin.
"The school is quite far from here," said Mo Kai. "This center has become somewhat too independent from the school. The bus doesn’t go directly."
"How about you drive my car to work in the future, Senior? Let me have some sense of participation!"
This suggestion made Nan Zhubin pause while unbuckling his seatbelt.
It always felt like when changing the setting, it would become a game of words.
"I know you don’t like to stand out, Senior. I specifically brought a low-profile car today," Mo Kai said, patting the SUV with the blue and white sky car logo. "I have other vehicles for commuting, so it’s settled!"
...
There were still ample parking spaces inside the hospital. Besides the hospital’s internal employees, patients and their families could also park their cars inside.
Since Nan Zhubin arrived early, he easily found a parking space.
He also had a driver’s license. After spending a little more time familiarizing himself with the car’s facilities, he picked up his backpack and was ready to get out.
That’s when his phone vibrated in his pants pocket.
There was a new message in the WeChat group.
Yesterday, he had two new groups: one that Jingwei created for all the on-site consultants, trainee consultants, and interns;
