Chapter 537 Is This a Meeting of Fate?
"My humble Xu Tianming, hello teachers." Wearing gold-rimmed glasses, Xu Tianming greeted his colleagues. It can be regarded as saying goodbye to everyone.
The teachers greeted each other, and everyone was very interested in Xu Tianming's appointment as a teacher. Because he graduated from Harvard. As Harvard is the most famous university in the world, Xu Tianming can say that his seniors and sisters are all over the world. The network of Harvard graduates is ubiquitous, and almost all of them are at the top of society.
Even if Xu Tianming is a researcher who specializes in learning, specializing in mathematics and chemistry problems, he can have a higher choice. Especially for studying chemistry, if he wants to, he can easily work in a chemical company or a chemical laboratory through a network.
Why did he come to teach at Hive No. 1 Middle School?
—————————
"Old Zhang, do you think it's strange? A Harvard graduate came to teach in a middle school? I'm not questioning his education and ability. But it's one thing to know how to read, but another thing to teach. Otherwise, why set up a special school?" A normal university, teaching students how to teach and educate people, and finally become teachers."
"Do you want more food?"
"If you want, give me another bowl. I'm exhausted recently. I have to do two jobs at the same time, and I feel like I'm going to fall apart. Especially now that the two jobs are still in the stage of building the skeleton, I have to be more busy gone."
In Lao Zhang's new house, Jiang Hua unceremoniously handed over his job to Lao Zhang. After working all day, going home for dinner is the most relaxing moment for Jiang Hua.
Zhang Tong's new house is not small. The one Huang Gang built for him is 180 square meters in size, and it is all decorated. Zhang Tong bought some IKEA furniture and sent them over. After spending tens of thousands of dollars, the new house can be lived in. Although it is not a luxurious decoration, it is quite warm.
Jiang Hua quite enjoys this kind of life. It feels good to have someone waiting for him at home after work. Many people are very lonely. If they go home without companions, they will raise cats and dogs, so that at least they will think about going home. Otherwise, the empty house has no sense of belonging.
Jiang Hua is used to chatting with Zhang Tong after get off work every day.
So she took the second bowl of rice that Zhang Tong served her, and after thanking her, she continued to eat while saying, "You say it's strange. A Harvard graduate, he is a high-achieving student in both mathematics and chemistry. He came to teach in a middle school. It's weird how I think about it."
Zhang Tong told Jiang Hua: "Eat slowly. No one will compete with you. By the way, Xu Tianming studied mathematics as an undergraduate at Harvard. Why did he change his graduate degree to chemistry?"
"Let's be more foreign. American universities generally call undergraduates a bachelor's degree and graduate students a master's degree. People are not happy to call undergraduates graduate students." Jiang Hua corrected Zhang Tong and asked him to speak more foreign: "We also asked Xu Tianming today. , He said that his grades were particularly good that year, so he was specially recruited into Harvard. Especially because he was very good at mathematics, so he was favored by a professor of mathematics at Harvard. He was given a full scholarship and asked him to study hard at Harvard. "
"He was an undergraduate (Zhang Tong: he is a bachelor, speak in a foreign way), and he was supervised by this professor during his bachelor's degree. But in his senior year, the professor died suddenly of an illness, and he switched to chemistry during his master's degree. Also Yes, chemistry has more practical applications than mathematics, and it's easier to find a job."
Listening to Jiang Hua's rambling, Zhang Tong interjected, "Then what kind of job did Xu Tianming find?"
"I was a little curious about him, so I checked in the files of the Special Investigation Bureau. He had done research in a chemical pharmaceutical company in the United States. After five years of research, the pharmaceutical company seemed to have given up on their research and dissolved Xu Tianming. The project team he was in. Later, I couldn’t find out what Xu Tianming was doing, because they were all abroad, and he said he was studying behind closed doors.”
"After two years, he returned to China and has been doing some research work. It seems that he also worked as a teacher in some advanced cram schools. Later, the Hive City was established, and he was one of the invited teachers." Jiang Hua briefly summarized Xu Tianming. experience.
Zhang Tong scratched his head: "This person is not simple. I always think he is a bit weird."
"Huh?" Jiang Hua took a mouthful of sweet and sour pork ribs, and glanced at Zhang Tong: "What do you say?"
"Have you checked his abilities?"
"Checked, he is a memory-strengthening power awakener. So it is very helpful for him to do research and study. A domestic project team invited him to do research, but he said that he has transformed into an educator in recent years, and he doesn't want to do it. Research."
Zhang Tong shook his head after hearing Jiang Hua's words: "Anyway, I think he's weird, so you can keep an eye on him when you have time. I hope I'm overthinking."

Xiao Xiao and Xiao Hei also followed Zhang Tong to the Hive City. The two of them also found a house and rented it. The Hive City is newly established. In order to attract residents, the rent is very cheap. Xiao Xiao rented a one-bedroom and one living room at a price of 300 yuan a month, and it was a three-year lease, which was the same as paying for nothing.
And Xiao Hei lives upstairs from her, so it is convenient for Xiao Hei to teach her training.
Classes still have to be attended, work has to be done, and life has to be lived.
For Xiao Xiao, the most important thing in life is probably eating all kinds of delicious food.
"Xiao Hei! Xiao Hei! There is a new bakery downstairs! The price is so cheap!" For a female foodie, is there anything more exciting than discounts on bread and desserts?
"Oh." Xiao Hei, who was playing "Monster Violence" upstairs, was dragged downstairs by Xiao Xiao abruptly.
As a new city, Hive has surprises every day, and there are always new stores opening. Because the hive rent is cheap, in order to attract customers, the prices of many private shops are very cheap. There is a feeling that prices have returned to five years ago.
The price of the newly opened bakery is very cheap, and the store is not far from the Honeycomb No. 1 Middle School, so many students will come here to buy food.
"Wow, red bean paste bread is only four yuan each, and it's so big!" Red bean paste bread, which is the size of a big steamed bun in Shandong, only costs four yuan. This is the price how many years ago! In Huaihai, Xiao Xiao, who was used to half a fist-sized bean paste bread costing 8 yuan each, suddenly felt a sense of happiness filled her whole body.
"Buy, buy, buy!" Xiao Xiao felt sorry for herself if she didn't take out a hundred yuan to buy bread.
On the other hand, Xiao Hei said to the clerk in a very grand manner: "I want your bean paste bread." After all, now Zhang Tong basically sent Gao Xiaomin to Xiao Hei for living expenses, and now Xiao Hei also Count rich and powerful.
The new store opened, and the red bean paste bread is not too much, there are only more than 20, and it is only 100 yuan to buy them all. Xiao Hei carried a large bag of bean paste bread, and continued to look at Xiao Xiao expressionlessly: "Do you want anything else?"
Xiao Xiao raised her forehead, because all the customers in the store were looking at her, and it seemed that it was not good to buy all the bean paste bread in one go. But you can't return it now.
"The bean paste bread is sold out!" Lin Miao looked at the shelf of bean paste bread very disappointed after school.
The clerk spread his hands: "I can't help it, it's wrapped up."
Lin Miao likes to eat bean paste bread the most. She saw the bean paste bread that Xiao Xiao (Xiao Hei) had bought. She said a little embarrassedly, "Miss, can you transfer me a piece of bread? I'll buy you one."
"Don't be polite, don't be polite. Take it." Xiao Xiao was embarrassed at first. It's not that she doesn't want to eat bread with red bean paste, she also wants to buy something else. As a result, Xiao Hei wrapped the bean paste bread round in one breath, which made it difficult for her to speak again.
"Hello, teacher." "Hello, teacher."
After Lin Miao transferred the money to Xiao Xiao, she heard someone shouting hello to the teacher behind her. She turned her head and saw that it was Xu Tianming, her math teacher.
He greeted the students politely, then walked straight to the bakery, bought a croissant and left.
Lin Miao breathed a sigh of relief after watching him leave, and then patted her chest: "I was scared to death."
Xiao Xiao looked at her curiously: "He is your teacher? It doesn't look scary, why are you scared to death?"
"My math and chemistry scores are super bad!" Lin Miao said bluntly, "I'm a liberal arts student, but I'm completely blind in science. By the way, let me introduce myself, my name is Lin Miao, how about you?"
"My name is Xiao Xiao."

In the garbage can at the corner of the street, a fresh croissant was lying quietly in it, even the plastic bag hadn't been opened.
