Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Shocked by Favor

Other teachers, already somewhat bored, had become enthusiastic spectators upon noticing the excitement to be had.

"Teacher Qi, I’m afraid you have misunderstood!"

Xiao Yifei still spoke politely to Qi Xunlei and did not become upset because of Qi Xunlei’s words.

"Misunderstood? What have I misunderstood! Misunderstood you? You, a greenhorn, do I also misunderstand that you are a teacher? What international joke is this!"

Qi Xunlei, over forty but already somewhat bald, looked at Xiao Yifei somewhat angrily.

"Yes indeed, Teacher Qi, I really am a new teacher! You misunderstood!"

Smiling at Qi Xunlei, he stretched out his hand to point to the seat with his name on it: "Look, that’s my spot, my name is even written on it!"

When Qi Xunlei heard what Xiao Yifei said, he was about to frown and scold Xiao Yifei for daring to joke with a teacher, but a sudden thought stopped him; he turned his head to look in the direction Xiao Yifei was pointing.

"Xiao Yifei."

Next to the seat, squarely placed were two large characters.

Seeing these two characters, Qi Xunlei, with his back to Xiao Yifei, suddenly showed an expression of conflict mixed with annoyance on his face.

"So this is Xiao Yifei!"

Qi Xunlei’s face fell as he realized that since the morning, when they had heard about a surprisingly young "Surgery" teacher suddenly being added to the Clinical Medical College, they had been discussing privately for a long time. A teacher who could take the special appointment route and still be so young, must either have exceptional abilities or a shocking background. And they knew very well that, in recent years, there had been no young prodigies who emerged in the medical field domestically, so it was certain that this new teacher had a deep background.

His ability to enter through the back door so overtly, especially at Yanjing Medical University, one of the top-ranked universities in Huaxia, meant this man’s background must surely be astonishing. They had discussed for a long time that, regardless of who they might offend, they must not offend this new young teacher. They had also inquired for a long time before they found out that this new teacher was named Xiao Yifei.

To welcome this new teacher, they had even specially cleaned the teachers’ lounge, particularly around Xiao Yifei’s seat, which they had wiped and washed over and over again, just waiting for Xiao Yifei’s grand arrival. Little did they know, Xiao Yifei would barely arrive before Qi Xunlei managed to offend him.

"Why am I so unlucky!"

Qi Xunlei groused, lifting his eyes to scan the other teachers in the lounge. He found that they had already adopted an indifferent attitude, pretending either to be engrossed in reading or picking their noses, showing none of the earlier enthusiasm for the spectacle.

"Is there a problem, Teacher Qi? Should I not be in this teachers’ lounge?"

Xiao Yifei, seeing that Qi Xunlei was slow in turning back, asked with some confusion.

"No, no, not at all!"

Hearing Xiao Yifei speak, Qi Xunlei finally turned around, his face showing a forced smile: "So you are Teacher Xiao, I have heard so much about you!"

Seeing Qi Xunlei’s reaction, Xiao Yifei became even more puzzled. How had Qi Xunlei’s face suddenly turned into that, he asked with concern, "Teacher Qi, are you feeling unwell?"

"It’s okay! I’m fine! We’re all fine!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yifei’s query, Qi Xunlei hurriedly stood up from his seat, and, as if fearing Xiao Yifei wouldn’t believe him, he even vigorously performed several movements to prove his good health.

A bald teacher suddenly performing some strange movements was a scene that was humorous no matter how one looked at it, and some of the teachers behind him could barely hold back their laughter.

This wasn’t really Qi Xunlei’s lack of dignity, nor could one say these older teachers were petty-minded; in fact, they cared about their jobs deeply. They were terrified of inadvertently offending someone they shouldn’t, consequently suffering an undeserved misfortune and losing their jobs, which was why they appeared so anxious about Xiao Yifei’s arrival.

Qi Xunlei remembered the mention from their morning discussion that allowing someone so young to join Yanjing Medical University so easily and without quandary indicated that the new teacher had an unfathomably deep background in the education system, which they couldn’t afford to offend.

The crux of the matter was that the new teacher was too young, brash, and unlike more seasoned individuals, didn’t consider many things that could, from merely one misstated remark, result in an unfortunate outcome for them; thus, they behaved so timidly!

The foreboding shadow of Xiao Yifei’s profound background had genuinely fallen!

Seeing Qi Xunlei acting this way, Xiao Yifei also found it rather funny, but he suppressed the urge to laugh, recognizing Qi Xunlei’s actions as his own peculiar quirks, which Xiao Yifei respected fully.

Therefore, Xiao Yifei did not interrupt Qi Xunlei’s demonstration and watched it with respect, struggling to contain his laughter.

Finally, after finishing a series of movements and gasping for breath, Qi Xunlei had initially intended only to perform a few simple actions, but since Xiao Yifei didn’t signal him to stop, Qi didn’t dare to cease his movements until he genuinely couldn’t continue any longer.

"Mr. Qi, I just heard you say ’I’ve long respected you’; does that mean you know of me?"

Only when Qi Xunlei finally stopped did Xiao Yifei ask this question that had perplexed him.

"Ah...haha, yes, this morning we heard that a new colleague was coming to the Clinical Medical College, and we knew it was Teacher Xiao!"

Qi Xunlei said to Xiao Yifei while panting and laughing.

"Oh! I see! Thank you, Mr. Qi, but you really did misunderstand earlier—I’m not a student!"

Xiao Yifei furrowed his brows in thought, then nodded, looking at Qi Xunlei, and earnestly explained.

"I’m indeed quite young, so I hope everyone will be supportive in our future work."

"I’m indeed quite young, so I hope for support from all the teachers in our future work."

First, Xiao Yifei glanced at Qi Xunlei, then addressed all the teachers in the staff room.

This statement wasn’t just directed at Qi Xunlei, but also meant for all the teachers in the Clinical Medical College present in the staff room.

Xiao Yifei had matured quite a bit. He realized that during his time in Shangjing People’s Hospital, despite being highly competent, others chose not to trust him; therefore, upon arriving at Yanjing Medical University, Xiao Yifei understood that whatever the circumstances, he needed to manage his relationships reasonably well.

This way, although it’s uncertain whether anyone would help you in a crisis, if they don’t kick you when you’re down, you should be very thankful.
