Thinking of Professor Wang almost being dismissed because of the appraisal report, Gu Mei felt a lingering fear in her heart, and while feeling happy for Professor Wang, she also felt that it was not worth it for Professor Xie.

  Although Wang Juan, the person who is not likable, is Professor Xie's assistant, Professor Xie himself is actually quite nice. He is usually gentle and easy to talk to, otherwise the director wouldn't have assigned the task of authentication report to him.

  Yesterday, Professor Wang's hesitant expression, wasn't it because of Professor Xie's matter?

  Strictly speaking, Professor Xie can be said to have suffered this unjust disaster on behalf of Professor Wang. But now that things have turned out like this, there's no use saying anything.

  Professor Xie was removed from his position, but the two assistants beside him were not removed. One of them, an assistant surnamed Zhu, was in a similar situation to Gu Mian. He was originally Professor Xie's student and was brought out by Professor Xie himself. Now that Professor Xie is gone, he did not stay behind alone and also left with Professor Xie.

  But Wang Juan was different, she came in through her own exams and had been following Professor Xie for two years. Although another assistant had left with him, she was unwilling to give up everything and follow suit.

  The only thing that gives her a headache is that most professors currently have full assistants, and Professor Wang Juan, who doesn't have a full assistant position, isn't familiar with her, so it's not easy for her to take the initiative to ask for shelter.

  So after Professor Xie left, she was alone and idle, while the new director had not yet taken office, no one could arrange things for her to do, she could only stay aside like an idle person, watching others do things.

  It's actually the most embarrassing when there's nothing to do. Wang Juan hadn't appeared in the cafeteria at her usual time for several days, and only came after most people had left. Hu Dajie had quietly grumbled about this several times.

  It's said that Hu Dajie dislikes Wang Juan, but since Wang Juan "retired", she has felt a bit regretful and the words she says are always tinged with sympathy, truly a typical example of a sharp tongue and a soft heart. [Cotton Candy]

  That day, on the way to the toilet, Chen Peng was stopped by Wang Juan. He looked around and followed her to a small corner behind the office building.

  Xiao Huayuan Chen Peng did not want to go. He always felt that it was not safe there, and there were too many trees, even if someone was hiding on the side eavesdropping on them, they couldn't see.

  "What's wrong?" Chen Peng asked as soon as he stopped.

  Wang Juan is his cousin, and his mother repeatedly reminded him to take good care of her. Wang Juan's parents had also helped their family in the past, even paying part of Chen Peng's university tuition fees, so since Wang Juan arrived here, he has been taking care of her as much as possible.

  "What can I do? Don't you know?" Wang Juan was furious.

  Before, when Professor Xie was still around, Wang Juan didn't think much of it and would occasionally complain behind his back about how he favored the students he brought with him. He wasn't as attentive to her, but now that Professor Xie is gone, she immediately felt the difference.

  All other assistants followed professors, but she didn't.

  Other assistants have tasks arranged for them every day, but she doesn't.

  Watching others being busy while she was idle and wandering around, receiving various meaningful glances from others, really made her feel uncomfortable.

  Thinking of all this, she was even more furious. Professor Xie would be dismissed from his post, and it was probably related to that appraisal report. However, the appraisal report was not written by Professor Xie, but should have been written by Professor Wang. It's just unknown why the director finally assigned the task of writing the report to Professor Xie.

  If it wasn't for Professor Wang's side having some problems, how could Professor Xie have written this report? If Professor Xie hadn't written the report, how could he have been dismissed? And if the one who was dismissed was Professor Wang, then how did she end up in her current predicament?

  The more she thought about it, the more unbalanced Wang Juan's heart became, and she couldn't help but find Chen Peng.

  "Jiān zǐ, actually you don't have to be so anxious, just wait until the new director comes and he will definitely arrange everything for you." Chen Peng said patiently while looking at Wang Jiān's annoyed face.

  "No rush, how can I not be in a hurry? What kind of person is the new director, I don't know either. Who knows if he comes and randomly throws me to some place just like that. It's really unlucky, why did nothing happen to other professors, but our Professor Xie was dismissed... That appraisal report should have been handled by Professor Wang..." Juanzi looked at Chen Peng with a displeased face.

  Chen Peng wasn't an idiot, of course he understood the implied meaning in Wang Juan's words. He immediately pulled a long face: "Juanzi, how can you talk like this? This appraisal report was written by Director letting Professor Xie write it, not Professor Wang letting Professor Xie write it. How can you say that it's impossible for Professor Wang to have done it on purpose? Are you happy that someone is leaving because of Professor Wang?"

  Wang Juan is indeed Chen Peng's cousin, but hearing the other person's complaints, he also felt very uncomfortable in his heart. If Professor Wang was really dismissed and became an idle person, wouldn't it be him?

  Even close brothers still calculate accounts clearly, and he and Wang Juan are just cousins after all. When it comes to things that are closely related to their own interests, they still lean towards their own more.

  As soon as Wang Juan heard Chen Peng's tone, she knew she had misspoken. She couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed and had to put away her unhappy expression. She apologized to Chen Peng: "Brother-in-law, I didn't mean to say that on purpose. I'm just feeling really frustrated inside. These past few days, those people have been talking about me behind my back, pointing fingers at me. Brother-in-law, we are relatives after all, you should help me out."

  Only after seeing Wang Juan did Chen Peng's anger subside a little, but his tone was still not very good: "What can I do to help you? Haven't you heard that this time the regular assessment may have unexpected events? I'm worried about it myself."

  "Now the thing about transferring to a regular university is just a rumor, and it's not clear what's going on, but my situation is already set in stone. Brother, you have better relationships than me, why don't you help me ask around, or does Professor Wang still need people? I can come work with Professor Wang too!" The more Wang Juan thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

  Professor Wang has only been here for a short time and doesn't have a deep foundation, but it's precisely because of this that she is more approachable. The other professors all have assistants who are used to working with them, so it would be difficult for her to suddenly insert herself. On the other hand, Professor Wang has just arrived and her assistant has also only recently started working with her, so even if she were to leave now, it wouldn't be too late.

  "This won't work, Professor Wang already has two assistants, me and Gu Mian, it's absolutely impossible to arrange three assistants." Chen Peng refused without hesitation.

  "That Gu Mian is just a rookie who has just graduated, doesn't understand many things, why occupy such a good position? Besides, she's just someone brought by Professor Wang, not even formally assessed, whether to stay or leave is just one word from Professor Wang." Wang Juan recalled the scene of seeing Gu Mian in the bathroom that day and couldn't help but feel annoyed.

  She knew that the person hiding behind and talking about her was not Gu Mei, but this did not stop her from shifting her anger to Gu Mei, who had also heard those words.

  Chen Peng furrowed his brow and glanced at Wang Juan: "What are you talking about? It's a common practice for new professors to bring their own assistants. All the professors here have done so, including Professor Xie's other assistant. Professor Wang treats Gu Mian like a treasure, he won't forget him when it comes to good things."

  There was another sentence that Chen Peng held back in his heart and didn't say, which is that he was afraid if Professor Wang had to choose one of the two people, him or Gu Mian, to stay behind while the other left, the one leaving would probably be him.

  "Brother, just try to help, okay? If Professor Wang is willing, you see some professors have more than two assistants." Wang Juan still thought that Professor Xie was dismissed because of Professor Wang, and it was only right for Professor Wang to keep her.

  Chen Peng listened to Wang Juan's words with a headache, and finally couldn't help but nod: "Professor Wang is on a business trip, I'll ask him when he gets back. Just be good for now and don't get any weird ideas, or else I won't be able to help you."

  Professor Wang doesn't like people who try to be clever, Chen Peng has somewhat understood this and in order to regain his image in Professor Wang's heart, he has been especially honest lately. But Wang Juan is a person with many tricks up her sleeve, if he didn't remind him a few times, he really wouldn't feel at ease.

  "I know." Wang Juan responded quickly, but she was somewhat skeptical in her heart.

  Gu Meng still didn't know that Wang Juan had already set her sights on Professor Wang, and after work she went straight to Gu Hongzhai.

  Han Lu had already agreed to go with Gu Hongzhai, and now she wanted her to follow along to pick out some things. Coincidentally, Qin Sheng also called her, saying that a friend had brought him some good tea and he wanted to invite Gu Mei to try some.

  Two things coincided, and Gu Mei naturally had no reason to refuse. She let Han Lu go first, then she herself hurried over.

  It was only when she arrived at Gu Hongzhai's place that she discovered Qin Sheng had not invited her alone, for not only was Mr. Qiao there, but also Xue Lao, who was chatting with Han Lu by his side.

  Han Lu may not be very familiar with the antique world, but she knew Xue Lao, a renowned international appraisal master, and also knew that Xue Lao was Gu Mian's idol. Seeing Gu Mian hadn't arrived yet, she turned her eyes and started chatting with Xue Lao with a thick face.

  "Gu Mian, we were just talking about you and here you are!" Han Lu's eyes lit up when she saw Gu Mian finally arrive, and she quickly waved at her: "Hurry up, come show everyone your skills!"
