Lu Bin was startled, his feet slipped, and he almost fell off the brick. Turning his head, he was startled again—a group of people had co over, and he hadn’t noticed. He quickly smiled and greeted the leader with a bow: "Principal Zhou, you’re here to inspect the exam too?"
"Yes!" Principal Zhou nodded. "And you are?"
"It’s my class’s exam, and it’s not my turn to invigilate, so I ca to check on things," Lu Bin said with an awkward smile, coming over from the greenery to explain to Principal Zhou.
Not your turn to invigilate, so you’re invigilating outside the window? That reason was obviously a bit weak. But surprisingly, Principal Zhou smiled and nodded, even reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Alright, Little Lu, not bad. Keep up this diligent and responsible attitude, work hard!"
Lu Bin quickly nodded to express his commitnt: "I will work hard."
A younger teacher at the back watching this scene almost couldn’t help but laugh. But the other teachers remained composed, sparing Lu Bin from losing face.
In fact, everyone knew, when Yan Fei ca to take the exam, Lu Bin had earnestly suggested to him: "Yan Fei, you see, you’re always swamped and just achieved sothing significant. Aren’t you busy? Why don’t you just go ahead with your work, ask for a leave from the exam, and let the teachers evaluate you based on your usual performance?"
If put differently, it ans that you, Boss Yan, are so busy usually, no one minds if you don’t co for the exam. We’ll surely let you pass. But if you co and hand in a blank paper, won’t that trouble the teachers to fill in the answers for you?
When saying such nonsense as "evaluate based on usual performance," Lu Bin himself felt his face burning—the young counselor, still a bit thin-skinned!
Boss Yan’s usual performance... he seldom attended classes and never took a test; what usual performance could he have!
Actually, this was everyone’s opinion. Now that Boss Yan manages a lab and has another one under construction if he feels more connected to the school, the faculty and students will have more opportunities to visit the lab. Plus, many teaching teachers go and et at the lab every day; wouldn’t it be awkward to give him a failing grade?
Everyone understands well, whether he takes the exam or not doesn’t really matter; preferably, he wouldn’t co, as students understand if he doesn’t. If he takes the exam, it’s less significant for them because everyone knows you rarely attend, so assuming you score well would imply so malpractice—everyone would think you’re trying to cover up; what’s the point? If you don’t take the exam and pass, we don’t mind.
But Yan Fei didn’t agree, and imdiately said to Lu Bin with righteousness: "Teacher, I’m a student, how can you persuade not to take the exam? I’ve worked hard this term and need the exam to verify my learning achievents."
Lu Bin helplessly indicated that your learning achievents are obvious to us... your perpetually empty seat is proof. Of course, I wouldn’t say such things, but don’t you have an inkling?
Since Yan Fei insisted, then he should take it!
Now that the exam had started, Lu Bin felt a bit uneasy, with a touch of schadenfreude, preparing to see how Boss Yan would perform in the exam room. Why else would he be sneaking around like a thief, peeking through the windows to watch the students take the exam?
Principal Zhou could guess why Lu Bin did this, which is why he just smiled and encouraged him. From the principal’s standpoint, Lu Bin’s performance was rather good, as he kept calm and composed in front of a special student like Yan Fei, which is a good mindset for a qualified educator.
What Lu Bin saw was a bit surprising; Yan Fei was in the classroom furiously writing, his head down, scribbling away rapidly. This greatly surprised Lu Bin, which is why he beca so absorbed that he didn’t notice the group of school leaders coming up behind him.
He really didn’t know Boss Yan’s capabilities. If Yang Xing had been here, he definitely wouldn’t have had so many thoughts as Lu Bin did—he had seen with his own eyes how Boss Yan morized enough content to fill several big books in just a few days.
The few days of exams Yan Fei left Lu Bin astounded, but the lecturing teachers weren’t too surprised. Everyone who had been to the lab knew that the current project, although Yan Fei hadn’t participated in the actual hands-on operations, he was familiar with the steps as though he had already done it himself.
In their view, a person’s energy is limited. The fact that Yan Fei can manage a company, take university exams, and write novels, is already quite remarkable. However, his proficiency in specialized lab knowledge surprises many people.
Therefore, after interacting with him for a period, the teachers ca to one conclusion about Yan Fei: genius!
Little did they know that even as Yan Fei was taking exams, he was also keeping an eye on various projects at ho, like road and bridge repair, along with bull pens, and monitoring news from Anderson on the other side of Earth. It seed he was leisurely taking the exam personally, but actually, he was rather busy. Discover the next chapter on
Moreover, he was continuously checking on the updates from Japan online during breaks between exams, possibly hoping for so pleasant surprises. The source of this is
It couldn’t be helped; the news from Japan provided by the laborers in the dinosaur world was outdated... saying it this way might be unfair, as the laborers had been here long without contact with the outside world. If there’s bla, it’s on Boss Yan for not bringing in new laborers, letting these ones ’beco obsolete’.
But this problem might soon be resolved... soon...
Because there are always so many eager volunteers lining up to be laborers, Boss Yan didn’t have the heart to reject their goodwill. Helplessly, he was getting ready to welco them.
...
Anderson was a bit under pressure these two days. As he was learning about Chinese culture, he even visited an old Traditional Chinese dicine Doctor to get so herbal tea instead of his regular coffee to cool down.
No choice but to rush, as failing Boss Yan’s business leads to financial losses. However, if he failed to get things done, he didn’t even know what he’d lose next! Even random thoughts on this were unbearable for him.
More frustrating was his capable assistant, his nephew Abe, was off enjoying life herding cattle leaving everything that wouldn’t require Anderson’s hands direly needing his attention.
He checked the docunt his subordinates prepared for him once more. After reading the detailed introductions about the two Japanese companies and partial profiles of the main executives, Anderson cautiously used his thick fingers, which looked like carrots, to type Boss Yan’s email address on a keyboard, pausing just before hitting send...
After checking the entire docunt again, and recalling everything to ensure there’s nothing missed, just when he was about to hit the send button, he stopped...
He registered a new email account and followed the sa procedure once more, then finally pressed the send button.
At that mont, he felt sowhat regretful, wishing his Chinese skills were better. If he could write the email to Yan Fei in Chinese, maybe he’d find it more pleasing...
After sending, he cleared the email history but still felt uneasy. He handwrote an email detailing the progress of investigations on the two companies and sent it over, slipping in a little suggestion at the end fawningly for Yan Fei.
Then he cleared the email records once again.
...
On the other hand, Yan Fei’s approach to reading emails was drastically different from Anderson’s—he didn’t need to be careful. Upon seeing Anderson’s little suggestion, Yan Fei imdiately found it reasonable: Anderson suggested that email contact might not be safe, so it’s best to use a rarely-used email registered with a fake na. While it might not be effective, it would at least offer so peace of mind.
So he decided to do so. Yan Fei finished reading the email contents and while thinking, he opened the web to register another email randomly filling in a na, then realized that his current email was basically a casually registered one too...
In those days, the word ’real-na system’ didn’t exist online, so you could register with whatever na you desired—many people would later find out that their longstanding accounts couldn’t truly be considered theirs due to unknown registration details at the ti.
