The world of film and television begins with university lecturers

Chapter 102 Calculation and Clarity

In the cafeteria, many students recognized Han Tao, and every now and then someone would sneak a glance at him with a mixture of curiosity and admiration in their eyes.

Several students who had attended his public lectures mustered up their courage and came over together.

They asked somewhat tentatively, wanting to learn more about the details of the postgraduate entrance examination interview.

Han Tao didn't just give perfunctory answers because he was eating; instead, he patiently pointed out each point in a gentle tone and with a serious attitude, just like in a classroom.

After the students left with slightly embarrassed expressions, he glanced at his watch and quickly finished the rest of the food on his plate.

With less than an hour until his afternoon career planning class, he turned to Zhu Suosuo beside him and whispered a few words of advice before getting up to leave: "Thank you for lunch, Professor Zhang. I have a public lesson to teach this afternoon, so I need to go back to my office to prepare. Please enjoy your meal; I'll be going now."

"Teacher Han, please don't say that." Zhang Anren quickly stood up, with a polite smile on his face. "I didn't know you would come. It's already embarrassing that you ate in the cafeteria. Preparing lessons is the priority. Please don't let it interfere with your work."

"You're too kind, Teacher Zhang. Eating lunch at school is great; it's convenient and hygienic!"

Han Tao responded with a smile, then turned to Zhu Suosuo and said a few words.

Zhu Suosuo smiled and nodded, her tone cheerful: "Don't worry, Brother Han, I know what I'm doing and won't act impulsively."

"That's good. Give me a call if anything troublesome happens."

After saying that, Han Tao nodded to Jiang Nansun, who was still confused, before turning around and striding out of the cafeteria.

Zhang Anren sat down again, a polite smile on his face. He turned to Jiang Nansun and said naturally, "Nansun, I'm going to Sanlin this afternoon to have the whole house air purified. Do you and Suosuo want to come along and take a look?"

'

"Go to Sanlin?" Jiang Nansun came to his senses, a hint of doubt in his eyes. "Didn't we say before that we planned to leave it vacant for two months and move there after the ventilation was completely finished?"

Why the sudden rush to purify the air? It must cost a fortune to purify the entire house like that!

Zhang Anren smiled and explained, "It will cost a lot of money, but there's no other way. There's a shortage of rooms in the dormitory recently, and my lease is about to expire."

So I plan to purify the air in advance and then move in directly after canceling the lease.

This way, we can free up the dormitory room for the new teaching assistants and also save on rent.

"Oh, oh." Jiang Nansun nodded thoughtfully, his gaze lingering on Zhang Anren's face for a moment, as if trying to glean something from his composed smile.

Zhu Suosuo, who was listening from the side, kept grimacing. Finally, she couldn't help but interject half-jokingly, "Zhang Anren, you're really good at this. No wonder Nansun said you're the best at saving money. You're definitely worth learning from."

This saves on rent, and also allows Nansun to move in when she's in trouble—a win-win situation!

  

"Suo Suo, what you're saying—" Zhang Anren's smile remained unchanged, but a hint of unease flashed in his eyes. "I'm mainly trying to save money, to plan for my and Nan Sun's future, so every little bit helps."

Jiang Nansun was silent for a few seconds before finally speaking: "I won't be going today. I want to spend some time with Suo Suo this afternoon. Be careful on your way."

"Alright." Zhang Anren's smile faltered slightly, but he quickly recovered, his tone still gentle: "Then I'll go alone, and I'll message you when I'm done."

Jiang Nansun was eager to escape the Jiang family, which was the perfect opportunity to get closer to him and completely control her.

If she agrees, they can then use their cohabitation to deeply bind themselves together.

That's why he was in a hurry to clean the house; opportunities are for those who are prepared.

After watching Zhang Anren leave, Jiang Nansun breathed a long sigh of relief.

These past two days, the combined pressures of family and emotional turmoil have left her physically and mentally exhausted, making even breathing feel heavy.

"Princess Nansun!" Upon seeing this, Zhu Suosuo took her arm and suggested with a smile, "Since neither of us has any plans for the afternoon, why don't we take a walk around the school and relax? I'll treat you to a big meal tonight."

"Why are you eating again!" Jiang Nansun rolled her eyes at her. "We just finished eating, why are you already thinking about dinner tonight?"

Zhu Suosuo looked disdainful upon hearing this and curled her lip, saying, "I, Zhu Suosuo, am used to a hard life, but you are different."

For so many years, Zhang Anren has always treated us to meals at the cafeteria. I'm amazed by him.

On such a joyous day, with both my love life and career flourishing, and you determined to be independent, we absolutely must have a good celebration tonight.

"Actually, eating in the school cafeteria is pretty good. Zhang Anren said that the school cafeteria is strictly managed and healthier than outside cafeterias."

Jiang Nansun responded absentmindedly, his gaze somewhat unfocused.

"What's so great about it!" Zhu Suosuo seemed to be completely defeated by her, and her expression became serious: "Let me tell you, if a man is willing to spend money on you, it doesn't necessarily mean that he loves you."

But if he's unwilling to spend money, then he definitely doesn't love you.

Nan Sun, you must not rush to make a decision. You must test him properly.

The biggest gap between you two is class.

She paused, her tone tinged with hesitation, afraid of upsetting him: "Actually, thinking about it, Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang's concerns are not without merit."

Women don't choose to marry down not because they are vain, but because they are afraid that men will feel unbalanced.

Because he thinks he's above you, he'll try every means to put you down in order to protect his self-esteem.

When you are in love, nothing else matters. Weakness, hesitation, aloofness, and pride can all be seen as unique strengths.

But once you actually live together, things are completely different.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nansun frowned slightly. Remembering Zhang Anren's reaction when she suggested moving in, she couldn't help but purse her lips, feeling a little hesitant and uncertain.

But then I thought about Zhang Anren’s usual behavior, how he was always praised at school, and how popular he was. So I realized that nobody is perfect and having a little self-respect isn’t a big deal.

Jiang Nansun couldn't help but retort, "I believe Zhang Anren wouldn't do that."

Whether I am a princess high above or an ordinary person unknown, he will love me as always.

It's not that he's unwilling to spend money on me, but rather that he wants to save as much as possible now to plan for our future. If I really need it, he won't hesitate to spend it!

"Heavens! Nan Sun, have you gone blind?"

Zhu Suosuo looked helpless. "Saving money isn't done like this, is it?"

"It's only once in a while that I treat you to a nice meal. How much does it cost? It's not like we're eating out every day!"

Jiang Nansun was momentarily speechless, and could only reply irritably, "Nonsense! You're blinded by greed!"

"Fine, fine, I'm greedy, you're the most virtuous one." Zhu Suosuo rolled her eyes, took her arm and walked towards the playground. "But Nan Sun, think about it carefully, does he invite the department head to dinner in the cafeteria?"

Surely not? He's selectively treating people differently based on their status, don't you understand?

""

Jiang Nansun paused, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything.

Sunlight filtered through the sycamore leaves and fell on the two of them, and she suddenly felt that the light was a little dazzling.

"I'm not saying he's bad," Zhu Suosuo softened her tone, turning her head to look at her, "I'm just afraid you'll plunge headlong into it and leave yourself no way out."

Jiang Nansun walked a few steps in silence, and finally said softly, "I understand, thank you, Suosuo."

Let's not talk about Zhang Anren anymore, let's talk about your renting situation!
