My Co-renting Lady Boss

Chapter 1956: Chapter 1952: Team Leader Teacher

Back then Tang Ming had already agreed to join the Red Cherry Blossom Association, but he dropped out before he could be of any use at all, which left Huangfu Tieling extremely disappointed and made her cut off all attention to Tang Ming.

In her eyes, a chess piece with no value to exploit has no reason to exist, so naturally she wouldn’t bother to keep an eye on Tang Ming.

After Tang Ming returned this time, he kept a low profile; aside from the Medical College students and a few close acquaintances, he basically didn’t interact with anyone else and didn’t make any big waves, so Huangfu Tieling naturally knew nothing about him.

"I’m not clear what his deal is either. But according to our information, this kid is now very tight with the Mu Family of Glazed Island, and Mu Zixin was literally run off by him."

Du Kai frowned tightly as he watched Tang Ming’s back.

"Hmph! Forget that he never played any role himself, he even abducted Mu Zixin and cost us a major asset. Simply infuriating."

Huangfu Tieling snorted in disgust. "A guy this irresponsible, we really need to teach him a lesson when we get the chance, so he doesn’t start thinking our Red Cherry Blossom Association is easy to push around."

"Hehe, looks like we don’t even need to lift a finger. He actually went and sat in the front. His brain must be flooded."

Du Kai chuckled with a playful look.

"Classmate, are you sure you’re not sitting in the wrong place?"

Sure enough, a bespectacled middle‑aged man in a gray‑white suit sitting in the front row pushed up his glasses and looked at Tang Ming with displeasure.

"Exactly! These seats are for the teachers leading the delegation. You’re just a student, go sit in the back." freewebnøvel.com

Another short‑haired middle‑aged woman with thick foundation on her face also looked extremely annoyed.

"Since these are the seats for the teachers leading the team, then I’m not in the wrong place."

Tang Ming smiled, reached out, and picked up the nameplate on the table. "This seat is Tang Ming’s. I’m Tang Ming."

"Huh? You’re Tang Ming?"

Hearing this, yet another middle‑aged man with a fat body also looked at him in shock and doubt.

Anyone qualified to be a team leader was the elite among the best teachers in each department. Aside from Tang Ming, among the other four, three were full professors and one was a vice dean.

"Kid, you’re not joking with us, are you?"

The middle‑aged woman frowned tightly at Tang Ming. "You dare say you’re Tang Ming?"

"I am Tang Ming. Why wouldn’t I dare say it?"

Tang Ming rolled his eyes, speechless.

"What a joke, an absolutely ridiculous joke!"

The middle‑aged man who spoke first looked at Tang Ming with utter disdain. "I am Jing Manlun, full professor of literature at Imperial University. I’ve published literary works in world‑class literary journals and written thirty‑six books. What achievements do you have, may I Ask?"

"I’m Zhang Maosheng, professor of physics. I’ve discussed black hole theory with the great Hawking himself and published three series of works on celestial bodies and the exploration of the universe."

The other middle‑aged man immediately stated his credentials as well.

Then that middle‑aged woman named Wang Zhongxia, along with an elderly white‑haired big‑shot, also began introducing themselves. All of them were heavyweights who had achieved quite a lot in their own fields.

In the end, they all looked at Tang Ming together. "Just what virtue and ability do you have that you dare claim you’re qualified to sit with us?"

"You really are the Pillars of Imperial University. I’m impressed, truly impressed."

Watching them brag in front of him, Tang Ming quickly raised his hand in a mock salute, then shook his head awkwardly. "Compared to you, I really don’t have any particular skills. My current position is lecturer. No publications, no major results to my name."

"This is outrageous! Who the hell is pulling strings behind the scenes, actually putting some snot‑nosed kid on the list to work with us? It’s a disgrace to the scholarly world."

"This is disrespectful to academia. I protest."

"When the dean gets here, we must demand an explanation. Letting a student lead the team—aren’t we just going abroad to embarrass ourselves?"

...

They immediately started berating Tang Ming in anger, as if he’d done something that offended Heaven and man alike.

"What’s going on?"

Hearing the commotion, Du Kai was a bit dumbfounded. "Tang Ming isn’t here as a student? He’s one of the teachers leading the delegation?"

"That wasn’t in my expectations either. The teachers who can lead a team are the best of the best at Imperial University. At minimum they have to be people who’ve received the Outstanding Teacher award three years in a row."

Huangfu Tieling also stared at Tang Ming with a furrowed brow. "What the hell did he rely on?"

It wasn’t just Huangfu Tieling who couldn’t process it. The other students, seeing someone as young as Tang Ming sitting in a team‑leader seat, were all completely puzzled and confused.

Except for Zhou Xiaoqian, no one could accept this reality.

"What are you all arguing about?"

Just as Tang Ming was about to be drowned in spit, a stern‑faced old man in glasses walked into the conference room, stepped up onto the podium, and asked.

"Dean, who is this kid, and why is he on the list of teachers leading the team?"

Jing Manlun immediately pointed at Tang Ming and questioned him.

"That’s right! Someone his age leading a delegation overseas is just asking to lose face. A few casual professional questions from the other side would be enough to leave him speechless."

"This won’t just disgrace the school; it’ll be a stain on the country’s honor."

...

Jing Manlun, Wang Zhongxia, and Wang Jingchao immediately voiced their dissatisfaction and protest to the dean. Only Vice Dean Zhen Aiguo stroked his beard and watched the dean on stage with great interest.

"You’re arguing over something like this?"

The dean, Zheng Zhongxing, darkened his face and looked at everyone sternly. "Mentor Tang Ming is the medical representative jointly recommended by Professors Zhang and Li of the Medical College. According to the two professors, although Tang Ming is young, his medical knowledge is enough for him to be their teacher.

Imperial University has always ranked people by talent and learning, never like those trash schools that only care about titles and empty reputation."

"Is that for real? At his age he’s capable of being Professor Zhang and Professor Li’s teacher? Even if you want to boost his status, you don’t have to exaggerate this much, do you?"

Jing Manlun looked Tang Ming up and down, full of disbelief.

"Hmph! You think I’m blind? Matters like an overseas exchange are not something we can treat as child’s play."

Zheng Zhongxing slapped the table hard and said sternly, "Some time ago Professor Zhang was diagnosed with cancer. With our current medical technology, it should have been a death sentence."

"Hissss!"

The several team leaders all sucked in a cold breath. A medical professor getting cancer—just hearing it felt ironic and tragic.

"How is old Zhang doing now?"

"I was just having dinner with him the day before yesterday. I didn’t notice anything wrong with him." freёwebnovel.com

...

After their initial shock, they all began expressing concern.

"Old Zhang’s cancer has already been cured by Tang Ming. This is a major leap in the history of medicine, fully proving how superb Tang Ming’s Medical Skill is."

Zheng Zhongxing spoke again.

"Cancer can be cured?"

Everyone present was completely stunned.
