Chapter 309 An unexpected gain

This investigation of the tobacco market was mainly based on Professor Yan's itinerary. While Gu Qingyu and others were busy working on their reports, Professor Yan had already completed the preliminary investigation of the tobacco market accompanied by Director Chen.

Professor Yan looked at Gu Qingyu and the others who had returned to the guesthouse and asked with a smile, "You came back earlier than I expected. It seems I underestimated your abilities. Next time I assign you a task, I'll have to shorten the time!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyu and others shook their heads and waved their hands in horror, and told Professor Yan about the hardships they had experienced in the past few days.

Gu Qingyu was the first to complain, "Teacher, please spare us."

"Thanks to Senior Brother Feng's connections at Yantai University, we were able to work overtime and complete the report within the timeframe you stipulated. We may not be so lucky next time!"

As soon as Gu Qingyu finished speaking, Zhang Zhang continued, moving closer to Professor Yan, "Yes, teacher, look at the bags under my eyes from staying up late these past few days. They're almost as big as the giant panda, our national treasure."

Xue Qian came over and said, "Teacher, I've been busy with my report these past few days and have lost five or six pounds."

Professor Yan looked at these children complaining in an exaggerated manner, and the serious expression on his face was almost unable to be maintained.

His eyes fell on Feng Ming, who was standing silently by the side, so he asked, "Feng Ming, your fellow students have all complained to the teacher, why don't you say anything?"

Feng Ming smiled wryly and curled his lips. "Teacher, look at my sparse hair. If you don't go easy on me, I'm afraid I'll end up like Teacher Zhou next door."

The teacher Zhou that Feng Ming mentioned is the macroeconomics professor in Gu Qingyu's department. The most impressive thing about this teacher Zhou is his standard Mediterranean hairstyle.

Looking at Feng Ming's indeed slightly sparse hair and the miserable looks of Gu Qingyu and the others, Professor Yan reflected on himself for a rare moment.

Is he too strict with these apprentices? Why not give him more time when assigning tasks next time?

Professor Yan coughed a few times unnaturally and then said to Gu Qingyu and the others, "I've reflected on myself and realized that I was a bit too strict with you. Let's forget about this incident. I'll give you more time when assigning tasks in the future."

Gu Qingyu and the others looked at each other in surprise when they heard this. Professor Yan was known for his rigorous academic approach. They didn't expect that just complaining to the professor would lead to such an unexpected surprise.

Gu Qingyu and the others reacted and rushed forward, hugged Professor Yan, and said with emotion: "Teacher, you are so kind to us. We are so moved that we are about to cry."

Professor Yan, who was usually serious, had never been hugged so passionately and embarrassingly by a student before, and for a moment he was a little at a loss.

"Ahem, you little bastards, let go of me. What's the point of hugging each other in public?"

Gu Qingyu and the others were immediately amused when they heard this and burst out laughing.

However, they also knew their teacher's usual temperament and knew that the teacher was feeling uncomfortable at the moment, so they suppressed their laughter and let go of his hands. Instead, they supported Professor Yan like bodyguards on both sides and walked towards the inner hall of the guesthouse.

After finally entering the inner hall, the master and his disciples couldn't hold back their laughter and all burst out laughing.
