Beast Taming: I have a simplified system

Chapter 177 The New Dean! Familiar Faces

Yi Tian remained silent for a few seconds.

I really didn't expect this ending.

Chu Ying said with a smile.

"What's this called? 'He who eats another's food is bound to him; he who takes another's money is bound to him.'"

"Moreover, everyone really approves of you."

Fine, I'll be the dean then.

"Xiao Tian, when are you free to come to the research institute again?"

"I'll give you the dean's uniform and his personal name tag."

"Okay, I'm free right now."

Having not been active for several days, Yi Tian got out of bed and stretched his neck.

Appropriate activities are beneficial to physical health.

Walking.

Soon, we arrived at the research institute.

The research institute is much busier than ever before.

Most of the researchers in Wushan City came to vote.

The institute's rule is that all formal members have voting rights.

However, the higher the rank, the greater the weight of the vote.

Although Yi Tian had covered his head completely, he was still recognized as soon as he entered the room.

"Hey, Xiao Tian!"

It was Zhou Qiong waving at her, and Zhou Tiangang was standing next to her.

Congratulations!

The two congratulated each other at the same time.

Zhou Tiangang joked.

"From now on, I'll have to call you Dean."

When he initially wanted to introduce Yi Tian to the research institute...

I never imagined that Yi Tian could reach his current level.

According to his estimate, it would take Yi Tian several years to get in.

Then, over the next few years, he was promoted from a Level 3 Researcher to a Level 2 Researcher.

And then he got stuck at this step for a long time... just like him.

As a result, a few months later, Yi Tian became the dean.

Just over an hour ago, when Yi Tian was unanimously elected as the dean, Zhou Tiangang even began to have doubts.

It was all just a dream.

Yi Tian gave an awkward laugh.

"Please don't call me that, Mr. Zhou."

"You are my elder, so you can just call me Xiaotian."

Zhou Tiangang nodded slightly, while thinking to himself.

"Be neither arrogant nor impatient."

Yi Tian is still young, and people his age are most prone to arrogance.

But it didn't happen.

Zhou Qiong smiled too.

"Then what should I call you?"

"May I call you Dean's younger brother?"

Yi Tian grunted.

What a strange way to address someone!

"Sister Qiong, you can still call me by my old name."

"Ha ha."

The father and daughter exchanged a glance and laughed at the same time.

Knowing that Yi Tian had come to the research institute for something, the two of them didn't press the matter.

Yi Tian continued walking forward.

Finally arriving at Chu Ying's office, I was surprised to find that there were quite a few people there.

Upon seeing Yi Tian open the door, everyone who was sitting, including Chu Ying, immediately stood up.

"Dean."

The ministers and deputy ministers of both departments were here, waiting for Yi Tian for a long time.

Yi Tian had to repeat the conversation between Zhou Tiangang and his daughter once again.

Chu Ying said, however.

"It doesn't matter in private, but in formal occasions, you still have to follow some rules."

"Dean, you now represent the face of our Fog Hill Research Institute."

Yi Tian couldn't refuse, so he could only agree.

Chu Ying carefully opened a long box that looked exquisite.

He took out a set of uniforms and a gold name tag from inside and solemnly handed them to Yi Tian.

"From this moment forward, you will be the 66th director of our research institute."

Yi Tian took it, and the others clapped and celebrated.

Zhang Sheng glanced at Yi Tian with a hint of envy.

Actually, he also wanted to become the dean. According to the plan, he could wait another ten years or so, outlast the minister, and then he could become the dean.

He needs to spend another ten years or so accumulating experience and building a loyal following.

It is very promising.

But now, hope has been dashed.

Because advanced beast tamers typically have very long lifespans, the director of the research institute is required to retire at the age of 100.

In other words, Yi Tian could stay in this position for over 80 years...

At that point, it will be questionable whether Zhang Sheng will even be around, let alone retire.

She sighed without leaving a trace.

I felt envious, but not jealous.

Yi Tian has indeed brought great benefits to the research institute.

Zhang Sheng was also one of the beneficiaries.

Moreover, even if Zhang Sheng had ten times the courage to be jealous of such a promising beast tamer and researcher, he wouldn't dare to now.

"I need to find an opportunity to give Yi Tian a gift."

"Try to mend the relationship."

Zhang Sheng thought to himself.

After a small authorization ceremony, Chu Ying asked Yi Tian if he wanted to hold an appointment ceremony as well.

Go up and say a few words to everyone.

Yi Tian refused.

Chu Ying compiled a list of Yi Tian's authority and the tasks he could perform, and handed it to Yi Tian.

Yi Tian then immediately assigned tasks to others.

Chu Ying felt somewhat helpless.

It seems this guy has decided to become a hands-off boss.

The previous dean did the same thing, so there's not much difference.

"Okay, that's enough for now."

"Dear seniors, I'll be taking my leave now."

"Take care, Dean."

As he left, Yi Tian saw many familiar faces.

Liu Bo, Zhang Qisheng...

The two men were oblivious to the fact that they were walking past them, chatting and boasting.

Zhang Qisheng said.

"From now on, I can say that Yi Tian and I were researchers in the same year, and that Yi Tian came in first and I came in second."

Liu Bo said.

"Haha, Qisheng, when it comes to connections with Yitian, you can't compare to me."

"Yi Tian and I graduated from the same school; I'm his senior."

"And after joining the research institute, I even collaborated with him on a project!"

"The only multi-person project Yi Tian has ever done was with me!!"

Liu Bo is very proud.

Zhang Qisheng rolled his eyes.

"Weren't you just being carried along? Now you're saying you're collaborating?"

"I don't care, check the records if you don't believe me! It clearly states that Yi Tian is the project leader, and I am a member of the project team."

Liu Bo stands with his hands on his hips.

"Tell me, if I had no connection with Yi Tian, could he really carry me to success?"

"I never expected that I would be the one with connections!"

Zhang Qisheng: ......

Yi Tian smiled without saying a word, then secretly walked behind Liu Bo and gently patted Liu Bo's shoulder.

Liu Bo was startled and turned around to see a masked man.

"Who are you, and why are you hiding like this?!"

Yi Tian lifted his mask, revealing his young face.

Liu Bo's face turned pale.

Oh no, I just made up some nonsense about my relationship with Yi Tian, and the person in question overheard it.

Fortunately, I didn't speak ill of Yi Tian behind his back!

After realizing what was happening, the two of them said respectfully in unison.
