Leng Yuan was too cold and taciturn. Although he was an expert in his field, everyone was a little intimidated by him. As for the desk by the door, it was cold in the winter and hot in the summer—not exactly a prime location.
Gu Jiaojiao scanned the room, then walked over to Leng Yuan. "Mr. Leng, I'll be sitting across from you from now on. I look forward to working with you."
Leng Yuan reluctantly shook his wife's hand. "I look forward to working with you too, Teacher Gu."
The others shot the pair a strange look.
The principal, on the other hand, thought everything was perfectly fine and went on to explain a few more work-related details.
Just then, a teacher asked, "Principal, I thought we were hiring one teacher. Why is she a teaching assistant?"
The smile instantly vanished from the principal's face. "We hired two people this time: one teaching assistant and one teacher. It's just that the new teacher had some business to attend to and requested time off."
