You are my proper foothold

Chapter 66

Entering mid-December, it is the final exam week for double majors.

Hui Xiaoyou's final grade of quantitative finance accounted for 40.00% of the total grade. In addition, he reiterated several times that the difficulty of the final will be greater than that of the midterm, so the students who choose the course are quite nervous. There are at least two or three students on the forum every day. Ten questions for help.

And the forum was already so lively, let alone the two teaching assistants Pei Ran and Xiao He, their mailboxes were almost overwhelmed.

It happened that Hui Xiaoyou had dinner with them at noon that day. According to him, he wanted to find a cafeteria nearby, but Pei Ran and Xiao He insisted on dragging him to another graduate student cafeteria that was far away from the teaching area. But they couldn't help it, so they went together.

And along the way, he saw that Xiao He and Pei Ran were very nervous, looking left and right, as if they were afraid of seeing something.

Hui Xiaoyou couldn't help laughing, and asked them: "What are you two doing? Are you thieves?"

"No..." Pei Ran explained to him in a low voice: "We are afraid of meeting the students in your class..."

"Afraid of my students?" Hui Xiaoyou looked at the two of them and teased, "Isn't it just that there are more people answering questions, you two can't do it."

"As for..." Pei Ran replied with a bitter face.

Xiao He also nodded in cooperation with him, "Teacher, we have been afraid of being blocked for the past two days, and it is very painful to open the mailbox every morning..."

Hui Xiaoyou raised his eyebrows with a smile, "How many letters can you receive at most?"

Pei Ran: "39."

Xiao He: "52..."

Pei Ran: "...Why do you have so many?? Do they think I can't speak well?"

"It should be that Xiao He's thinking about the exercises is a little clearer than yours." Hui Xiaoyou added after finishing speaking, "Besides, Xiao He's temperament is very gentle, patient, and easy to talk to. Many boys like to find him."

"..." Pei Ran's expression was extremely tangled, and he held back for several seconds before turning his head and saying to Xiao He: "Go back today and forward half of your email to me, and I will help you reply."

Xiao He was taken aback for a moment, then seemed to want to laugh, pursed his lips and nodded.

"Hey, hey..." Hui Yue turned his head and made a movement that caught his eyes, and then said to the two of them amusedly: "You can just be content, this little workload is too much? I think I was in Harvard back then. When I was a teaching assistant, the highest number of emails in a single day was 90. The total number of students enrolled in my tutor's course was only [-], and I really don't know where the students have so many questions."

"One hundred and one..." Pei Ran and Xiao He were dumbfounded again, and Xiao He couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, you won't be the only teaching assistant for that class, right?"

"That's right," Hui Xiaoyou spread his hands helplessly, "There should have been two of them, but the other person suddenly said that the course conflicted with his compulsory period when the class started, and he really couldn't come, my tutor. I'm too lazy to bother about this kind of thing, so it's up to me to bear it."

Pei Ran: "Won't that be very hard..."

Hui Xiaoyou shrugged and smiled, "Fortunately, it's just that time is tight. I didn't have as much leisure as you two at the time, and I had to run so far after lunch."

Pei Ran and Xiao He: "...Next time I will listen to you and eat nearby."

"That's right." Hui Xiaoyou laughed, of course he wouldn't say that he was too lazy to walk, but Pei Ran and Xiao He could definitely guess.

After arriving at the cafeteria, the three of them ordered their meals separately and found an empty table to sit down. After eating two bites, Pei Ran suddenly remembered something, looked up and said to Hui Xiaoyou worriedly: "By the way, teacher, about the arrangement About the exam room..."

"What happened to the examination room?" Hui Xiaoyou looked at him.

Pei Ran exchanged glances with Xiao He, and said hesitantly: "Something went wrong... out of the five classrooms that were discharged earlier, one of the five classrooms had a broken heater. Both Xiao He and I went to the center to be in charge of this matter." Teacher, asked her to help change one, but she said that the classrooms for the exam at the same time were all full and could not be moved.”

Hui Xiao frowned upon hearing this, and remained silent.

The classroom arrangement for the mid-term and final exams of the economics double degree has always been managed by the center. It stands to reason that the professors don’t need to worry about this at all. They just wait for the notification and let the teaching assistants confirm with the relevant teachers. Publish the examination room arrangement on your own course forum.

There is usually nothing wrong with this process.

However, it is winter now, and the center has arranged an unheated classroom as an examination room, which is somewhat unreasonable.

Hui Xiaoyou thought for a while, then asked Pei Ran: "Do you know that there are other subjects that are tested in this classroom?"

"No, it's just us." Pei Ran looked a little annoyed, "I've seen the exam arrangement, although it's a little full, but if you really want to queue up, you can still be there, as long as you adjust the exam time for a few courses— —”

"No." Hui Xiaoyou interrupted him softly, "Once the exam time is fixed, it shouldn't be changed, otherwise it will be too irresponsible to the students."

Pei Ran: "But if the time remains the same, then the classrooms at the same time as ours are indeed not free..."

Hui Xiaoyou: "How many students are arranged in the examination room without heating?"

"75 people." Xiao He responded.

Hui Xiaoyou hummed, and after silently thinking for a while, he suddenly smiled and asked, "You said, the largest conference room in the center should be able to seat at least 100 people in the next seat?"

Xiao He was stunned, "Do you want to move the people from the examination room to the conference room? Will the center agree?"

"I will definitely agree." Hui Xiao nodded confidently, "Leave this matter to me."

***

The Economic Research Center has to offer more than [-] courses in a semester, and at least hundreds of midterm and final examination rooms are allocated. Among them, the class he leads is assigned to the only classroom without heating. What does Yan Xiaoyou do? I don't even think that this is just a little incident.

He knew that the female teacher in the center's double-degree academic affairs office was in charge of arranging the examination room. She was in her forties and her surname was Yang. She should belong to the children of G University's faculty members.

Hui Xiaoyou had gone to her twice before because of course selection. At that time, she had a pretty good attitude towards him. She spoke softly and handled affairs efficiently. She seemed to be a warm-hearted person.

However, such a thing happened this time, and the general reason why Yan Xiaoyou could basically guess it.

After eating with Pei Ran and Xiao He at noon that day, Hui Xiaoyou went directly to the Double Degree Academic Affairs Office in the afternoon.

There are only two teachers in the Academic Affairs Office, one is a young teacher surnamed Luo, and the other is that Teacher Yang.

Seeing Hui Xiaoyou coming in, the young Teacher Luo greeted him with a smile.Although there was a little embarrassment in that smile, it was still friendly anyway.

And Teacher Yang just glanced at him quickly, then looked back at his computer screen, as if intending to turn a blind eye to him.

Hui Yue couldn't help sighing silently.

"Ms. Yang," he walked over and stood in front of her desk, "Are you busy now? I want to tell you about the arrangements for this exam—"

"The examination room has already been set up, and we can't change it." Yang Min interrupted him before he finished speaking, with a very blunt tone, "Your two teaching assistants have come to me many times for this matter, and I have already told you It's useless for them to say anything."

Hui Xiao nodded his head, and said to her calmly, "I know you won't be able to line up here, and I don't intend to change the existing examination room. I just want to move the students from the unheated classroom to the big conference room." Take the test, do you think it's okay?"

"How can I do that!" Yang Min's reaction was very strong, and he said in a cold voice: "Is the conference room a place for exams? What if a leader wants to come and occupy the conference room that day, and it turns out that there are students taking exams in it, yes Are you responsible or am I responsible?"

Hui Xiaoyou couldn't help being annoyed and funny when he heard her tone as if he was admonishing his subordinates, and asked with a smile, "Then do you think there are other places that can be used instead of the examination room?"

Yang Min frowned and didn't even look at him, "Don't ask me, if I knew, I would have already tuned you."

"Since there is no one, then I want that conference room." Hui Xiaoyou's tone became tough, "Mr. Yang, you don't have to worry about taking responsibility. If a leader is neglected, the responsibility does not fall on you It can't fall on my head."

"What do you mean?" Yang Min looked up at him angrily and confused.

Hui Xiaoyou suppressed his smile and said solemnly: "If there is a responsibility, it is also the responsibility of the center. Teacher Yang, you must know that all the students who choose to major in economics are formally paid, and we are obliged to serve our own. Students must also be responsible to them. Every student is equal, no matter which course they take or which teacher they teach, students have the right to enjoy the same treatment."

Yang Min couldn't hold back when he heard his words, "Teacher Yan, are you implying that I treat students differently? We have our own regulations for arranging examination rooms and classrooms. This time there is an unheated classroom. We did it on purpose, and we didn't break the heater, so don't make it sound like we're targeting your class."

"It doesn't matter whether it's targeted or not." Hui Xiaoyou looked at her steadily, "What's important is that neither I nor any of the leaders of the center would want to have 75 students sitting in a seat in such weather. Take the exam in an unheated classroom. Teacher Yang, you should know how important the center is to the people above. It is also very important to maintain the honor and reputation of the center. In case there are students in the exam room this time Complain about this matter, or simply put it on the Internet for you, do you think that only one person will suffer?"

"...Teacher Yan, I understand that you are worried about your students, and I don't want everyone to suffer from the cold, but there is really no way..."

Yang Min's attitude has softened, but she is still unwilling to make concessions on the issue of the classroom. She expressed embarrassment and said: "The occupancy level of that meeting room is very high. Without the consent of the leader, I dare not do it casually." Arrange it out."

Hui Xiaoyou nodded in understanding, and then asked, "How much leadership approval is required? Is President Chen's level enough?"

Yang Min: "Dean Chen...that, of course that's enough..."

"Then please call Dean Chen and ask now." Hui Xiaoyou looked at her, "Or if you find it inconvenient, I can call you. I will let Dean Chen confirm. He sent you an email."

"No, no need..." Yang Min said, picked up his microphone, dialed the internal line of the vice president's office, and said, "Let me do it, it's convenient for me to call..."

Seeing this, Hui Xiaoyou stopped talking and stood aside silently waiting.

The phone rang twice and got through. Yang Min spoke to Dean Chen in a very polite tone, and after explaining the situation in detail, he asked the dean for his opinion.

Dean Chen should have agreed directly, Hui Xiaoyou froze for a moment when he saw Yang Min's expression, but then she smiled respectfully and said: "Everything will be done as you said."

After saying a few more words, Yang Min handed the microphone to Hui Xiaoyou, and politely said, "The director told you to listen to the phone."

become really fast.Those who were "you, you" just now suddenly become "you".

Hui Xiaoyou sighed in his heart, but he didn't show anything on his face. After answering the phone, he called out politely: "Dean Chen, hello."

"Xiaoyou..." Dean Chen sighed before he finished speaking, and said to him with some regret, "I haven't talked to you for a long time, look, it was so easy to contact you today because of this kind of thing, It shouldn't be, you want to come and chat with me often."

Hui Xiaoyou understood that these were just superficial talk and there was no need to expose it, so he smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I've been too busy recently, I should have time to look for you after the end of the term."

"Well, that's good." Dean Chen's laughter sounded a little dry, "You don't have to worry about the examination room anymore, I told Teacher Yang, the conference room is for you, and if there is such a thing in the future, just you Let her approve it directly when you come to find it, don't ask me specifically."

"Thank you." Hui Yue sincerely thanked you.

He knew that no matter what Dean Chen thought about his homosexuality, at least he could recognize the overall situation, and he would not do anything to embarrass the students.

But for Hui Xiaoyou, being able to do this was enough.

"Well, let's not talk about it. I still have some things to do here. You can discuss the specific arrangement of the examination room with Teacher Yang." Dean Chen said at this time.

Hui Xiaoyou hummed, said thank you again, and hung up the phone.

At this time, Yang Min has returned to the original cold and displeased expression, but there is a little more embarrassment on his face.

"Teacher Yan, I'll make the big conference room available for you. You can notify the students yourself. It's not convenient for me to resend the notification."

"I see, thank you for your willingness to help." After Hui Xiao finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the Academic Affairs Office without looking back.

He can tolerate other people's prejudice against him.

But if anyone dares to spread this prejudice to his students, he will never allow it.
