Chapter 203 Autumn Wind
"Teacher Ye, what can I do for you?"

Seeing Ye Yining blocking the study room where he and Tao Shuxin often went, Xu Mingyuan asked in confusion.

"Didn't you bring your phone? Why can't I get through?"

Ye Yining frowned and crossed her fingers on the table.

"Yes, sorry, I forgot to mute it."

Xu Mingyuan took out his cell phone and saw several missed calls from Ye Yining. He glanced at the screen to indicate that he really didn't see it.

Most of the time, his cell phone is in silent mode. If he happens to see it, he will answer it, but if he doesn't see it, he will just forget it.

Sometimes when Tao Shuxin wanted to contact him, she had to wave his work phone first and wait for him to call back.

These are habits left over from the WeChat era. Things can be explained in a few words via text message, and Xu Mingyuan is too lazy to answer the phone to chat.

"You skipped four classes of Professor Li. You won't get any regular marks from this teacher."

"Oh, thank you." Xu Mingyuan didn't care.

Professor Li is an old scholar, a rather old-fashioned man, and it is difficult to talk to him. For compulsory courses like Ideological and Political Studies, it is harder than climbing to the sky to get full marks, but it is even more difficult for students to fail.

Moreover, Xu Mingyuan knew more than these students. After all, she used to work in real estate and had frequent contact with this field. As long as she could take the exam, it would be fine.

"I want to schedule the class reunion for next Thursday. Most of the students in the class will finish their exams next Thursday. What do you think?"

"I don't care about these things. Let Lu Fei and other class leaders study it. Teacher Ye, why do you, as a counselor, always worry about this?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

"I hope all the students in the class will participate." Ye Yining said.

"I see. I don't have that much to do. I still have time to eat. Teacher Ye, do you have anything else to do?"

"Well, where did you order that sailboat gift? I'm not asking you to give me a token of appreciation, I just want to ask if it's possible to engrave your name on this kind of pendant?"

Ye Yining took out the wooden pendant she received at the last banquet, and then took out a piece of straw paper with a schematic diagram drawn on it.

"It's a small matter. I'll go ask." Xu Mingyuan said.

"How much does it cost?" Ye Yining asked.

"About one or two hundred yuan."

"Oh, it's so cheap."

"Teacher Ye, what family do you come from? This Wu Shi card costs more than a hundred yuan. Is this considered cheap?"

Xu Mingyuan's money didn't come from the wind, so is he being taken advantage of?
"It's so expensive, I thought it would only add up to one or two hundred yuan." Ye Yining was stunned.

"Although it's not good sandalwood, it's still sandalwood, and the price is high now. Besides, our class only makes a few dozen, and the factory is too lazy to accept the order."

Xu Mingyuan took the Wu Shi card, which had the Fengfan logo engraved on it. It looked very delicate and smelled a bit like sandalwood. These were small gifts given when making the 5899 MP4 to make the product look more high-end.

Without looking at the words engraved on it, just the smooth edges and corners, even if it was made of peach wood, would cost more than twenty yuan.

"Forget it, it's just a small wooden sign. It's not worth it."

Ye Yining shook her head. It would be better to buy some practical items and distribute them to classmates instead of spending hundreds of dollars on them.

"If you don't mind the pattern, you can just engrave the words directly," said Xu Mingyuan.

"The class funds are not enough."

"Hey, no class fees are needed."

"You want to contribute to the class? Then let me thank you on behalf of my classmates. In this way, can you raise some sponsorship?"

Ye Yining leaned forward slightly and looked at him very sincerely.

"Damn it." Xu Mingyuan smiled and took out his wallet helplessly. "Okay, is this enough?"

There are only about 1,700 to 1,800 yuan in his wallet. He usually doesn't stuff his wallet too full when he goes out. He just needs enough for his daily needs.

"That's not what I meant. I want you to take our classmates to nearby businesses to solicit sponsorship. You have experience in this area..."

"Good fellow, Mr. Ye, so you made these dumplings just because of this little jealousy? I don't have the time for that, so don't come to me."

Xu Mingyuan was speechless and interrupted her directly.

Ever since colleges and universities started supporting students to start their own businesses, it has become popular and students have been going to nearby businesses to ask for money in the name of soliciting sponsorship whenever they have time.

Actually, it’s not a big deal. Since the merchants have sponsored the event, they will hang up banners, and students will also help the merchants’ business when they see them.

But after so many times, the merchants are getting annoyed. Especially at the end of the year, when students are about to go on vacation and leave, who will remember to pay the sponsorship fee next year?

It was embarrassing enough for Xu Mingyuan to lead his classmates to do such a thing.

"We will take a group photo and post it on the bulletin board as a collective honor for the class," Ye Yining persuaded.

In fact, Ye Yining had selfish motives. There was a capable student in her class, and if she could organize her classmates, it would be a help to her.

"No need to bother. Actually, what I gave is the same. Just consider it as sponsorship from the classmates network. Teacher Ye, you can keep it. If it's too little, I can get you some more."

“But it’s a good exercise.”

Seeing him throwing money on the table like he was sending away a beggar, Ye Yining frowned, feeling that her dignity as a teacher was humiliated.

"What kind of exercise is that? I don't need it. Whoever wants to go can go. I'm not going anyway. Teacher Ye, if you really want to improve, I'll treat the school leaders to a meal when I have the chance, and I'll take you along."

As a fledgling intern, her fighting spirit was still strong. Xu Mingyuan knew exactly what she meant. Wasn't it just to get a permanent job?

"That's not necessary..." Ye Yining said hesitantly.

"Teacher Ye, you are too polite. Please accept the money first. Our class has already raised the sponsorship fee." Seeing her hesitation, Xu Mingyuan smiled.

"I can't take it. There are rules."

Ye Yining waved her hands repeatedly.

"Then I'll give it to Lu Fei and let the class leaders discuss it themselves. This is also a form of training."

"Ah."

Ye Yining thought for a moment and nodded.

There are few students from poor families in the class, but not everyone is rich. Some students will definitely be unwilling to collect class fees just for dinner.

It would be great if Xu Mingyuan is willing to sponsor.

"That's it, Mr. Ye, do you have anything else to say?"

Seeing that Ye Yining came just to ask for some favors from classmates, Xu Mingyuan felt helpless.

"No, I just came to tell you about the usual things."

However, Xu Mingyuan didn't care about this little thing. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, then Teacher Ye, you can go back first."

"Oh." Ye Yining stood up and took two steps. Suddenly, she felt the need to emphasize her identity as a teacher, so she turned around and said, "Remember to read more books and don't fail the course. There will be a make-up exam."

"Thank you. Go ahead."

"..."

Ye Yining's breath was choked. Seeing that his girlfriend was memorizing the questions seriously, he did not disturb her. He took light steps, and the pure black woolen coat swayed left and right with her steps, and left slowly.

People can't be idle. Ye Yining has too little to do, so she has nothing to do and comes here to find something to do.

"Wow, your class counselor is so easy to talk to. Even when you talk like that, she still helps you ask for regular points? No wonder you skip classes without fear." Tao Shuxin said with a smack of her lips.

After all, she had a mother who was a teacher since she was a child. No matter which teacher she met, Tao Shuxin was not as bold as Xu Mingyuan.

"Ye Yining is a counselor on internship, how could she have such ability? She is just helping to run errands."

"She is a teacher after all, you are not polite at all."

"Why be so polite? Didn't I promise her that I would bring her along when I have the chance to invite hospital leaders to dinner. We are all adults now, so let's be practical. Who wants to do those nonsense?" Xu Mingyuan said casually.

"Hey? Are you just making empty promises?" Tao Shuxin asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Don't lie to me. I said it with all my heart. When have I ever broken my promise?"

Now Xu Mingyuan was unhappy. He didn’t care whether it was just empty talk or not, but it would be bad if Tao Shuxin saw through it. Why did the silly little girl suddenly have brains today?

"You keep your word? Humph, let me think about it!" Tao Shuxin narrowed his eyes, and after a long while he couldn't think of anything, so he said with great satisfaction: "Well, indeed not."

"Really? I'm a real person, and honesty is my most important thing."

"Come on, you're out of breath after I told you you're fat? You promised me before that you wouldn't touch my legs, but what are you doing now?"

Tao Shuxin muttered softly, glanced at him with disgust, and slapped his hand away with a snort.

"Hey, as a little girl, aren't you embarrassed to say these things?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"You have the nerve to do it, but you're too embarrassed to let me tell you?" Tao Shuxin said in a low voice.

"I did it. What can you do to me? Tell me, let me hear it."

"Humph."

Seeing Xu Mingyuan starting to act like a rogue, Tao Shuxin snorted and ignored him.

She is not as shameless as Xu Mingyuan. If she talks about these things, she will be the one who suffers in the end.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xu Mingyuan pinched her elastic legs and successfully got the girl to pay attention to him again, but her cheeks were red and she looked a little angry.

But it's no big deal, the little girl would always calm down after a while.

……

As the holiday was approaching, the department leaders helped Xu Mingyuan communicate and tried their best to prevent him from failing any courses.

It is impossible for Xu Mingyuan to do nothing at all. He has to cooperate with the Academy of Literature in publicity.

Of course, this was his original purpose, to take the opportunity to promote the classmates network.

Holidays are an opportunity for the rapid development of Classmates.com. The daily active users and online time of the website will increase significantly. Since there is such an opportunity, Xu Mingyuan will naturally not let it go.

"Hey! Xu Mingyuan!"

Suddenly someone patted his shoulder from behind.

"Is something wrong?"

Seeing that it was Song Xiaowan, Xu Mingyuan felt confused.

The College of Arts is neither big nor small. Although we don’t have classes in the same teaching building, there are always chances for us to run into each other, but it’s just to say hello.

"Uh, it's okay."

Seeing that Xu Mingyuan looked indifferent and had no intention of talking, Song Xiaowan shrugged and walked into the Three Religions Building together.
