Chapter 171 School Arrangements(1/2)
The specific arrangements for the next semester will definitely not be available in a short time. However, after confirming the courses, Zhou Yu went directly to the dean. To say that Zhou Yu was not familiar with other people in the school, he actually knew only a few professors.
There are just a few of them, Professor Yang is his teacher, Professor Dong is Wang Yongzheng’s teacher and is from the same department.
It is really possible that the others have just met each other and are not familiar with them at all. On the contrary, they have more communication with the leadership and have had dinner together several times. Among them, the dean is the most familiar, so if something happens, Zhou Yu will definitely go to them directly.
Zhou Yu knocked on the door and entered the dean's office. He saw the dean busy and had a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.
The dean also raised his head and saw Zhou Yu. He stopped what he was doing in surprise and waved directly to Zhou Yu: "Why are you here? Just wait for me to finish these things. If you want to drink tea, make it yourself."
"good."
Zhou Yu nodded and found a place to sit down. He picked up a clean cup and made tea and sat aside without disturbing the other party. He just sat there and waited.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, the dean finally finished the work. He turned his chair to face Zhou Yu and said: "There is a lot of work at the end of the semester. What are you going to do today? Your exhibition
But it hasn’t been long since it ended and the professional title has only been awarded for a few days. I really can’t handle it if I don’t cause something big to happen again.”
Zhou Yu said with a smile: "You are exaggerating. The purpose of giving me a professional title is to retain outstanding talents. The exhibition school will also get a lot of benefits. If I really want to do something big, it will not be a win-win situation."
The dean laughed, patted his butt, stood up, changed his position and sat in front of Zhou Yu: "You are right, okay, just say what you have to say."
Zhou Yudao: "Today, the academic administration called me to ask about the course arrangement. After talking for a long time, he recommended that I choose a course and an elective. That adds up to seven classes a week. I think it's a bit too much?"
The dean pondered and said: "Actually, I know this and I agree with it. Seven classes is certainly not too few. Some professors in our school only have three or four classes a week. What about your class?
It’s really a bit much.”
Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows: "Then you still want them to arrange this for me?"
"You will definitely understand some things even if I don't tell you." The dean looked at Zhou Yu and smiled, and said: "There are only so many professional titles in the entire school every year. How many places can there be? How many places can be allocated to the department?
How many are there? Do you know that our school has on average only one full professor out of twenty associate professors?"
"Not to mention that you are evaluated once a year. As an airborne professor, you occupied a spot and obtained a professional title in advance. Although you have shown your strength through the exhibition, you know that we are justified in giving you this professional title, but you still have some voice in the school.
Yes, if you take a few more classes, you can relieve some pressure on the seniors who support you, and if you take more classes, you can also silence other people's mouths, right?"
The dean comforted him: "It's just for one academic year. Just stick with it this academic year, and then follow the normal schedule next academic year, with three to four classes a week like other professors. See if it works."
Zhou Yu smiled helplessly, nodded and said: "Okay, it doesn't matter if I'm young and do more things, and the classes are still quite interesting, but please help me, don't make the class arrangement messy, it's best to arrange it on the first and third days
On the morning of Friday, we can arrange an extra session on Monday."
The dean smiled and nodded: "This is a trivial matter. I will call the academic affairs department in a moment to say something. However, although there are so many classes arranged, you can also arrange for teaching assistants to help you with them. Some things are not so mandatory.
, all can be reasonably arranged.”
Zhou Yu spread his hands: "I know about teaching assistants. Doesn't this mean I have to wait for the school to arrange an assistant for me? Or maybe I have to wait until I have doctoral students to arrange for them to attend classes."
"That's a problem." The dean murmured and said, "According to the regulations set by the school, a professor will usually be paired with a teaching assistant to assist in the work. There are not many requirements for internship teaching assistants.
It’s a problem that you don’t enroll students now, so are you familiar with anyone?”
Zhou Yu chuckled: "Except for Wang Yongzheng, there is no one. But Wang Yongzheng is Professor Dong's assistant now. I can't possibly poach Wang Yongzheng from Professor Dong, right?"
The dean also smiled and shook his head and said, "You have plans to recruit doctoral and graduate students next semester, right?"
"Yes." Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Yes, I really have something to ask the dean of you."
The dean asked: "What's the matter?"
Zhou Yu said: "My wife originally planned to apply for Professor Dong's doctoral program, but she was delayed because of her marriage. I thought I might as well let her apply for my doctoral program. The school doesn't have any avoidance regulations, right?"
The dean scratched his chin, stretched out his hand to give Zhou Yu a few empty nods, and laughed: "Haha, you, but speaking of it, our school really does not have such avoidance regulations. In principle, it is possible, as long as you can pass the unified entrance examination.
Of course it’s okay, as long as you’re not afraid of the negative impact, it’s okay.”
"Our school has never had such a situation, but as far as I know, there are still many such situations. But actually the most interesting thing is the story I heard about another school. The wife was a thirty-year-old medical professor and doctoral supervisor.
Many years old, my husband graduated with a master's degree and is younger, and they are still a sibling. Because of work, I have to get a doctorate. I don't know what to think, so I applied for my wife's doctoral student, and she actually became his wife.
The students made a few jokes at that time.”
Zhou Yu also laughed and thought it was a bit interesting, and said: "It's a bit interesting, but what impact can I be afraid of? I just don't want the school to think it's a bad impact. Then I will let her start preparing well when she gets back today."
Already."
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The dean said: "It's still some time before we take the Ph.D. exam, and it will be even later for you to enroll. You will definitely not be able to wait until you have students to serve as teaching assistants.
You won’t let your wife be your teaching assistant, right? I do have a candidate here who can recommend you as a teaching assistant.”
Zhou Yu asked: "Who?"
The dean asked: "You should know Professor Dong, but do you know he has a daughter?"
Zhou Yu paused for a moment and nodded slowly: "I know, is she the one you want to recommend?"
The dean said: "She is the direct Ph.D. student in our school. She has been influenced by her skills since she was a child. If she is not excellent, she will not be able to become a direct Ph.D. student, right? She is also choosing a mentor now. Do you want to take a look?
?”
Zhou Yu laughed: "Dean, you are waiting for me here, right?"
After being seen through by Zhou Yu, the dean laughed and said without hiding it: "I won't hide it from you. The first reason I didn't arrange an assistant for you before was because you hadn't actually participated in the teaching tasks, but just a few days ago,
Professor Dong came to me specifically and said he wanted to choose a suitable tutor for Lilian."
"I think Professor Dong is not talking about you, otherwise it would be sooner or later. It would be right after your professional title was awarded at the exhibition, and Professor Dong gave you a lot of support on the professional title at that time.
Yes, you also know Professor Dong’s popularity. If he talks to you, there will be less resistance. I guess I also think that being able to talk to you will definitely help Lilian’s future development.”
Zhou Yu spread his hands: "You have said so, so what else can I do? I must give Professor Dong some face, but I will definitely not be polite to her daughter when she needs to speak."
The dean smiled and nodded, clapped his hands and said, "Teachers teach students as a matter of course, and now the problem of teaching assistants has been solved."
Zhou Yu stood up: "Okay, you ask Lilian to come to me as soon as possible."
"Is everything okay?" The dean looked at Zhou Yu with a smile.
Zhou Yu shook his head: "No, actually it's just a matter of course teaching assistants and students."
The dean said: "Okay, just tell me if you have anything. By the way, the school will have a team-building activity after the holidays next month. If you have nothing to do, try to participate."
"I understand, please let me know in advance when the time comes." Zhou Yu said, "I'm planning to hold a wedding after the holiday next month. It won't be good if the time comes."
As soon as the dean heard this, he quickly asked: "When?"
Zhou Yu smiled and said: "At the end of next month, the dean will be able to come over then."
The dean said: "That's no problem. The team building time happens to be staggered in the middle of the month, so you have to send the invitations over quickly. In this way, you might as well give me some invitations without names. You may not be familiar with some people, but
You still have to invite us, we are all part of a collective, whether you come or not is another matter, but it won’t work if you don’t send it out.”
Zhou Yu shook his head and smiled and said: "That's okay. I think it's not good to post this post or not. I'm not familiar with you but we are colleagues. Posting it doesn't mean it's not difficult to post it, and it's not difficult to post it. It's really a headache. In this case, the dean is here."
Please make it clear that no gift money is required."
The dean smiled and nodded: "This is a good idea. Anyway, you are not short of this little money, so you might as well not need the gift money."
After talking to the dean, Zhou Yu left and went to his office. Looking at the mess in the office, he clapped his hands gently, attracting the attention of all the interns.
"Professor Zhou."
"professor."
"teacher."
Zhou Yu smiled, looked at these interns who were actually no younger than him, and said, "Everyone, please pack up the things that need to be packed and take all your own things with you. The office will be restored to its original state. Carry the things wherever you came from."
Go, pack up and get off work early. From tomorrow on, you won’t go to the company and won’t come over again.”
"Ah, it's over now."
"It's finally over. I couldn't bear to draw in such a small place for a long time. My big computer and my desk, here I come!"
"Come on, you don't want to be here, I don't know how many people think, I happen to have a school girl, how about you change it?"
"It's a good thing to move here, but now I have to get up half an hour earlier every day."
"I happen to have a school girl, otherwise if you give up your seat to her, she will definitely be able to get up?"
"I...Okay, okay, I understand. You have a school girl, right? I also pointed out that this job can be used to stay under Professor Zhou. Okay, stop talking and pack it up."
Zhou Yu looked at the excited expressions of the interns and nodded. He asked them to work here mainly because they needed to stay here because of the exhibition hall at that time. Anyway, they can draw pictures anywhere, and the company does have
Let them stay in their offices until the installation is completed.
He returned to his desk, closed his computer, picked up his bag, and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he reminded me: "Remember to lock the door after you finish packing, and you will arrive at the company before nine o'clock tomorrow, okay?"
"I understand, Professor Zhou."
After driving out of school, Zhou Yu went directly to the design office. The name was simple and straightforward, it was called Zhou Yu Architectural Design Office.
As soon as we arrived at the design office, the half-story office building seemed very empty. Many workstations were fully equipped but clean and even the computers were turned off.
The workstations where people are sitting are also very busy. After all, there is really not much work to do in the design office at the moment. Everyone is doing their own thing. It feels like there is really nothing to do.
As soon as Zhou Yu entered the door, the receptionist who was bored and playing with his mobile phone quickly stood up and shouted in a delicate voice: "Hello, boss!"
"Don't be so loud." Zhou Yu rubbed his ears and said with a smile, "I'm not here to check my work today, so there's no need to be so loud to remind the people inside."
The little girl at the front desk was probably only 22 or 23 years old. When Zhou Yu said this, she blushed in embarrassment and whispered: "No, I was scared when the boss came suddenly."
Zhou Yu waved his hand and said: "Okay, the headhunters will come over later. You can take them directly to my office and inform you that there will be a meeting at ten o'clock tomorrow."
