Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Tit for Tat

Even though Xiao Yifei knew that none of these older teachers could pose a threat to him with his own abilities, he believed that less trouble is always better than more, and he also discovered that there were many benefits to acting this way, which could have immediate effects.

"Don’t worry, rest assured! Teacher Xiao, just relax! If you ever run into any issues, we can always have a good chat. To have become a teacher at Yanjing Medical University at such a young age, the sky’s the limit for your future!"

Qi Xunlei was the first to thump his chest with resounding pats, squinting and smiling at Xiao Yifei, hoping to dispel some of the unfavorable first impression Xiao Yifei might have had of him.

The rest of the teachers, seeing that this new Xiao Yifei wasn’t displaying the entitled and arrogant demeanor of the wealthy or politically connected second-generation they had imagined, but was instead quite humble and seemingly approachable, let out a sigh of relief.

"Of course, don’t worry, Teacher Xiao. If you ever run into any problems, feel free to come to us. We’ll definitely help out wherever we can!"

"Exactly, you can count on us, Teacher Xiao. After all, we’re all colleagues here, everything is negotiable."

As these teachers let out their sighs of relief, they all smiled and spoke to Xiao Yifei in turn.

"Thank you, all the teachers!"

Xiao Yifei, seeing how friendly all the teachers were, couldn’t help feeling touched, thinking how wonderful the ivory tower of the university was, without the dirty scheming and intrigue, and how all the surrounding teachers were so nice.

"Teacher Xiao Yifei, have some water! Your throat must be uncomfortable after teaching a class!"

To the side, a teacher even went out of their way to pour Xiao Yifei a cup of water and placed it on his desk.

"Thank you so much!"

Xiao Yifei was moved to tears, thinking to himself, my goodness, the teachers at the university are just too nice, too enthusiastic! He didn’t at all consider that it was his nonexistent, phantasmal background that had frightened the teachers into this state!

Xiao Yifei’s current achievements and his recruitment as a teacher were all down to his own abilities!

While the teachers’ lounge was filled with a joyful, harmonious atmosphere, suddenly, the door to the lounge was pushed open again.

A somewhat hunched figure entered, his eyes a murky yellow as he looked around vigilantly and spitefully.

Upon seeing this figure walk in, the teachers in the lounge all showed signs of displeasure, but the figure didn’t pay attention to the other teachers and walked straight to his own seat, plopping down.

"Shen Liguo,"

The moment Xiao Yifei saw this figure, he instantly called out his name, because the impression Shen Liguo had left on him during college was too profound.

After entering the teachers’ lounge, Shen Liguo looked around, his cold laugh filled with disdain for the other teachers. When his gaze turned towards Xiao Yifei, he didn’t see the paper with Xiao Yifei’s name because the other teachers surrounded him, but when he saw a group of teachers surrounding a young man, his eyes suddenly narrowed.

A sneer issued coldly from his nose.

"Hmph! The world has gone downhill, since when did teachers start revolving around students! Truly a disgrace to scholars!"

After his cold snort, Shen Liguo leaned back in his chair with a lofty and dismissive attitude.

"Teacher Shen, you’re wrong to say that. How can you say that teachers revolving around students is a disgrace to scholars? Besides, Teacher Xiao Yifei isn’t a student, he’s a new teacher. Is it wrong for us to share our experiences with him?"

Qi Xunlei somewhat disagreed with Shen Liguo’s statement and spoke up in rebuttal.

"Hmph!"

Unbeknownst to Qi Xunlei, Shen Liguo didn’t even consider him worth noticing. He acted as if he hadn’t heard Qi Xunlei at all and turned his head in the opposite direction.

However, it was only a moment before he turned his head back again. "Who did you say? Teacher Xiao Yifei? Is that the new kid on the block? The little brat that took my position?"

Shen Liguo’s tone was filled with disdain and disrespect for Xiao Yifei, and even deeper, there was a hint of resentment.

He immediately stood up, pushed past the teachers blocking him, and approached Xiao Yifei.

"Are you that Xiao Yifei?"

Shen Liguo looked at Xiao Yifei with a slanting gaze.

"A brat whose hair hasn’t even fully grown, how dare you take over my position? They’ve assigned you two classes to teach?"

As soon as Xiao Yifei saw Shen Liguo walking towards him, he had already stood up straight. No matter how Shen Liguo had treated him before, at the very least, Shen Liguo was his teacher, and the respect Xiao Yifei ought to have could not be lacking.

"Shen Teacher."

Xiao Yifei said to Shen Liguo, with a slight show of respect.

"Who is your ’Shen Teacher’? How dare you address me as ’Shen Teacher’?"

Shen Liguo didn’t appreciate it in the least. He maintained his arrogant demeanor, treating everyone with contempt.

"I was once a student at Yanjing Medical University, right in the class you taught, Teacher Shen."

Although Xiao Yifei knew what Shen Liguo was like in class, he hadn’t expected Shen Liguo to be even more detestable outside of class. He couldn’t help frowning, yet his tone remained calm and respectful.

"Oh—so that’s how it is. So you’re a little brat who used to be one of my students!"

Shen Liguo looked at Xiao Yifei with vacant eyes, his tone utterly dismissive.

"I was wondering who had the credentials to teach at Yanjing Medical University at such a young age. I had thought it was someone from a well-connected wealthy family or something like that, but it turns out it was my former student, huh? That’s fine then, only I could have mentored a student like you! Now it all makes sense to me."

With his hands behind his back, he looked at Xiao Yifei with pride, attributing all achievements to himself, as though without his teaching, Xiao Yifei couldn’t possibly have become a good teacher.

"Alright, enough said. I’ll bestow those two classes on you. They were originally fraught with troublemakers and difficult to manage. Now, you can take them over!"

Upon hearing that Xiao Yifei was a former student of his, the threatening demeanor Shen Liguo had brought to question Xiao Yifei disappeared instantly. He seemed indifferent, even assuming an air of magnanimity, as he flicked his hand casually, as if tossing away a piece of scrap paper.

The other doctors frowned upon seeing Shen Liguo act this way. They all knew what kind of person Shen Liguo was, but what he was doing to Xiao Yifei today was indeed going too far. The substitute teaching arrangement was determined by the university, and he had no say in it. How could Shen Liguo put on airs as if he were the best in the world?

Shen Liguo’s attitude offended everyone who saw it, not to mention Xiao Yifei, who already had a poor impression of him.

I respected you out of politeness. I greeted you with a smile even when you spoke rudely to me because you are older than me. But if you repeatedly scorn me, then don’t blame me for being heartless and unfeeling.
